Wearing your crystals

This week my daughter and I organized my "treasures" as she calls them. I jokingly refer to her as their future owner. Lucky girl. In the course of studying crystal healing for 20 years I've amassed quite a collection of loose and set gems, all of which actually will be hers one day apart from the few pieces to which dear friends and other family members have laid claim. I cleaned all the pieces above and then took a snapshot of them as they waited to be returned to their armoire. A lovely sight to behold.

But I wear my gems with intention - each piece a decision made on the basis of the energetic level I'm at and how much I have to raise or lower that energetic frequency to achieve the desired balance in my field. I always tell people when they are buying jewelry to acquire the pieces they are most initially drawn to and then learn about the healing properties after the fact; 90% of the time the properties are related to some need - conscious or subconscious - of that person or the person to whom the piece will ultimately be given. That's the case with the gorgeous Navajo cuff in the photo above, a gift that I treasure. As such I didn't choose it but it clearly chose me. It has intense native energies attached to it and turquoise is a healing stone; for women, it reminds us of our inner power and demands that we engage our authenticity in relationships. Both of these energies were of great use to me this year. It's gotten a lot of wear lately.

Crystals and gems should be worn close to the skin. If you purchase a piece of jewelry, check to make sure that as you wear the piece the stone will come in direct physical contact with you. That's how to best make the energetic connection with it such that it can alter your frequencies. If a stone is outside your auric boundary, it can raise the vibration of your physical space but it won't be doing much for you physically or psychically (though a balanced living environment feels really good, as people attest when they visit my home).

Wear your jewels and treasures, as my daughter calls them, in perfect health!
