Crystal Healing for Self Love

Crystal Healing for self love.  Usually when someone thinks of a Crystal for self love, they picture Rose Quartz. Let's do some 'out of the box' thinking; let's look at Rhodochrosite. Part of my role as a Teacher is to bring new things to light, not just teach the same old stuff. What can be behind the lack of self love? Guilt, shame, anger, etc....Unconditional love and forgiveness are the two components to self love that are at times overlooked. Self love is all about loving every bit of ourselves, even the character defects. Forgiving ourselves for wrongs we have done others and what we perceive as 'mistakes', is what is necessary to journey into unconditional love, further flowing right into self love. This is the greatest gift that we can give ourselves, and everyone around us-to love and accept ourselves just the way we are. Then, and only then, will the life lessons take shape and we can move forward into fully sharing ourselves with others. 

The properties of Rhodochrosite are strong, but gentle, loving energy that stimulates the mind, lifts depression and encourages a dynamic and positive outlook. It is also said to soothe emotional stress, to overcome shyness and nervousness and to encourage feelings of self worth. By healing the damage caused by negative emotional patterns, Rhodochrosite benefits the user through positive emotional experiences and an increase in self-confidence, thus promoting self love.


Rhodochrosite is a very effective healer of the Heart Chakra and can also be used to gently open and purify the Base, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras.

In healing Rhodochrosite is said to purify the kidneys and circulatory system, to normalize blood pressure and to stabilize the heart beat. It is also thought to relieve migraines, by dilating the blood vessels, to relieve asthma and respiratory problems and to invigorate the sexual organs.

Crystals for Weight Loss

Weekly post on a Crystal Combo for healing! Many people ask me for Crystal Healing to lose weight. There is no magic pill (or Crystal) for this, and after looking at the emotions involved and the nutrition guidelines being followed, I will go for the Crystals. My genre of Energy Healing is to look at the causes behind the symptoms. So, with weight loss, I look at the Metabolism, not just burning fat and calories. If your Metabolism is sluggish, there is alot more involved than burning fat. In balancing out your body's metabolic rate, certain glands and organs are involved, and that is what I focus in on during the session or in making the Crystal Grid. For the Hypothalamus, I use Sodalite, Amethyst and Labradorite, all placed around the head. For the Kidneys, I use Carnelian and Rose Quartz, placed on the Kidneys. For the Liver, I use Chevron Amethyst on the Liver, and for the Spleen, I use Malachite on the Spleen. You could also make a grid with the intention of balancing out your Metabolism for the most beneficial outcome.

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice 2013!!! The Summer Solstice this year begins on June 20th at 10:04 pm PST. This will be the beginning of the time when the sun is farthest away from the Earth, resulting in the longest day of the year. Sounds a bit daunting, doesn't it! A longer day??? uggggh! LOL! No, actually it signifies the time when the sun is shining bright for a bit longer than in the winter; we are able to experience the energy of the Sun for a bit longer every day.  What can be done during the Solstice? Ceremony!!! You can welcome in this time of new energy by a number of different types of rituals/ceremonies-remember, any time there is a shift in energy is a great time for a ceremony. You want to look at what you intend to bring into your life as a new beginning, what can be given energy in your life, and what can you grow (literally, and spiritually) into prosperity and abundance over the next couple of months. Many Ancient Civilizations carried out ceremonies during this time to honor the Sun and the Earth, due to the fact that Mother Nature led their way in agriculture and quality of life, instead of the modern days filled with Google and many charts. This is a great time to get back to basics, get grateful and tune yourself into the vibration/energy of the Sun and the cycle that is happening right now. I will be making an altar with Carnelian and Citrine, Marigolds and Blanket Flowers, a photo of my Family, an intention, an issue to release and many blessings and prayers added to that! Considering that the largest 'Supermoon' is this Sunday, the 23rd, I would highly suggest to ground yourself fully, drink a ton of water, and listen to the changes that are swirling around you. This kind of energetic change is not very common, just ground yourself and soak it in!  Jess
