Pocket Full of Crystals

June 22, 2015 Rachel Vail
Lapis Lazuli (small royal blue), Rose Quartz (round pink stone), Smoky Quartz (round glowing dark yellow stone), Citrine (white to yellow point), Black Tourmaline (black stone ((hidden almost!!)), Blue Kyanite (lighter blue shard). 

Lapis Lazuli (small royal blue), Rose Quartz (round pink stone), Smoky Quartz (round glowing dark yellow stone), Citrine (white to yellow point), Black Tourmaline (black stone ((hidden almost!!)), Blue Kyanite (lighter blue shard). 

These are the stones I like to carry with me. Sometimes I switch it up, but I often find myself with these six. Even though I am not wearing them or showing off their beauty, I feel good knowing they are always with me. Whether it's in my pocket, my purse, or my pillow - these stones are there to protect, help, and heal me. 

The stone of love.  

The stone of love.  

I carry the Rose Quartz because of how happy it makes me feel. Every time I hold this stone it makes me feel so at peace with everything. It takes all my worries away and directs my attention to the wonder that lives inside. I carry it because it means something to me. It makes me feel loved and reminds me I am loved. It was a gift to me from Vero at The Bodhi Tree in Sugarloaf, NY; the place I did my first custom show. This crystal shop is more like a spiritual getaway and Vero is a warm, gentle person who is lovely to be around. I carry the Rose Quartz because it makes me feel safe, like nobody can or will bring me down. I feel like my heart is protected, so I am able to see the best in everybody and give my love to them. 

My stone of protection.  

My stone of protection.  

I carry the Black Tourmaline for protection. I feel it protects me spiritually and emotionally. It relieves me of any panic, worry, and fear. It helps ground me spiritually so I am not fatigued or drained. I carry it because it is one of my favorite stones. It was a gift from my mom who is also my best friend. She knows me better than anyone. I know she spent so much time picking out crystals for me when she went to Puerto Rico. I couldn't wrap or sell any because of how much I loved them all. We are always on the same wavelength. She has always been my main protector, but if she is ever not with me - the protecting properties of black tourmaline are. 

Why wouldn't you carry one of these?  

Why wouldn't you carry one of these?  

I carry the citrine because of the properties. I have never had any special memory with this citrine or any citrine - but I love what it is meant to bring. It is a stone of abundance, of prosperity, and of luck. It is a manifestation stone for ideals, dreams, and goals. It is a stone of joy, bringing optimism and positive thoughts. It dissolves any negative energy, protects against negative energy, and holds no negative energy. It is a stone of control. It fills the Solar Plexus Chakra with power, anxiety relief, and trust. It clears any blocks and let's you beam with yellow light. 

Can feel my happiest moments when I look at this stone.

I carry the Smoky Quartz because it is another great protection stone. I especially love that it is protective during travel. I bought this in the summer of 2014 - a summer of adventure! I drove to Delaware for a music festival (Firefly!!) filled with late nights and laughter, Tennessee to stay on a house boat for a week for full relaxation and fun, New Jersey to visit my cousin for a crazy night at a rap concert (Eminem), Connecticut for an awesome concert (Queen!) and such a fun night, and more. It was nonstop travel and adventure. Smokey Quartz protects against road rage, harm from other drivers, and traffic or road issues. I carry it for safety - and for all the memories of such good times. 

Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens. 

Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens. 

I carry the Lapis Lazuli and the Blue Kyanite for communication. One to help me listen and one to help me speak. One to dissolve the negative thoughts and one to bring in wise, intelligent ones. One to help me see past what people say, and one to help me think before I speak. Communication is important to control. It is how we meet people, make friends, network, or serve. It is an aspect of my daily life and with the help of my lapis lazuli and blue kyanite I feel protected and confident doing so.

A Day With Snow Quartz and African Gold Pyrite

June 18, 2015 Rachel Vail
Black and White crystals go well together because they bring in light and reflect darkness in the spiritual body (and also go with absolutely anything!)  

Black and White crystals go well together because they bring in light and reflect darkness in the spiritual body (and also go with absolutely anything!)  

Today I paired the Snow Quartz Mini and African Gold Pyrite pendants from my etsy shop. Since I've been under the weather this week, I haven't been using my creative energy as much. Today it felt like my sacral chakra was about to explode with all the creativity I had built up. Quartz is a powerful energy amplifier so I wore it to enhance my mood. 

Clear Quartz can be dangerous to wear in that way. It will amplify negative moods, negative energies of the physical such as illnesses, or negative energies in the aura. It's hard to know what negative things may happen each day. The African Gold Pyrite helps protect against negative energies. With this and my creativity amplified by the Quartz, I was pretty much set for success. Because this crystal is snow Quartz and contains white as well as Clear Quartz, it carries properties of its own. It helped enhance my meditative state and mental clarity which are both essentials in the work I do. 

Sneak peek of the pendants I made today that will be added to my shop on Monday!

Nothing bad got in the way of my day, I maintained a positive mood. I made three new pendants for my shop. Overall I think the stones worked very well for me today. It's hard to anticipate negative happening during the day without expecting negative to happen. However, negativity is important to be aware of. Ego exists. That is why it is important to wear a crystal that protects against the negative. It helps decrease the way ego  affects the one who wears it, reflecting the darkness that tries to influence the aura back out into the world.

A Day With Amethyst

June 15, 2015 Rachel Vail
This is bliss. 
This is bliss. 

Amethyst is a wonderful stone for gaining balance. It harmonizes the mind, body, and spirit to create oneness within the triad.  Whenever I feel like my mind, emotions, or physical body are moving faster than the other, or slower, or just not at all - I always balance this out with an amethyst. Today was one of those days for me and so I wore the Amethyst Point featured on my etsy shop. 

This state of harmony is also key to reaching a deep meditative state. Nothing is more relaxing than silent thoughts and mindful breathing. Meditation can be so much more than just that though. Colors, faces, sounds, images, vibrations, warmth, and more can appear. It is such an amazing experience to fall in such a deep meditative state like that. I've noticed when life gets a little hectic how hard it is to connect in complete harmony. This natural amethyst point contains such strong energy that it carried me deep into bliss.
