A Day With Snow Quartz and African Gold Pyrite

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 Stillbite and Sodalite

Today I wore the sodalite and stillbite available on my etsy shop. I picked these two crystals out to see how they affected the cold I woke up with. 

I woke up sick today with a pain in my abdomen and a sore throat. I swear I get sick around this time each year which is so frustrating because it's the beginning of summer. So instead of being outside or on my porch, I spent all day curled up in a blanket inside. I put on the Sodalite because it is a stone for the throat chakra. My throat cleared up so nicely after this stone worked through the energy center. It remains a little sore but the sinus pressure is completely gone. 

I didn't put on the stillbite until later. Stillbite is excellent for physically removing toxins in your body. I decided I might need an extra detox boost for my body so I made some lemon cucumber water. This paired with my stillbite was a great combination. Stillbite is actually a great stone for bringing joy and peace to the wearer as well. I definitely felt the instant pink vibration of joy rush through my heart chakra before anything else. So at least if this stone didn't help remove toxins yet, it put me in a good mood. 

For cleansing, removing toxins, rehydrating, and working against inflammation, mix water with cucumber, lemon, and mint! (I didn't have mint hehe)  

A Day With Abalone & Aquamarine

Today I wore the Abalone Shell and Aquamarine from my etsy shop. First of all, can I express how much I love Abalone??  The colors are absolutely mesmerizing and the texture is so smooth and so oceanic. Those things are enough to take you away to a beachy, calm place. The other thing I can comment on was my level of creativity. I was able to wrap some stones today that I have not been able to wrap in the past. I truly believe my creativity paired with the imaginative logic this shell provided me enhanced my work today. 

But seriously, how gorgeous are these colors?  

Aquamarine is another favorite stone of mine because of its reminiscence of the sea. Whenever I wrap an aquamarine stone I always fall deep into my universal source and achieve my flow. I think that is because of its ability to calm and soothe the emotions & mind. I really felt much calmer when wearing this stone today. A lot has been on my mind lately, but this stone helped me maintain a smile on my face and a state of peace. The other great thing about aquamarine is that it allows your ideas to flow out of you without any hardness. This means very honest and understanding communication with no hostility or worry. 

This aquamarine was inspired by beachy things. I saw ropes, waves, and sand while creating this. 

The other thing I loved about wearing this aquamarine was about after five minutes my allergies were gone. My allergies have been so bad lately with all the rain we've been having and pollen. My sinuses were clear ! I'll probably wear this again tomorrow... 

One of the dishes I meditate with. 

It's so hard to find a place to keep your stones so you can keep track of them, sort them, or carry them into the next room. I got this dish for all of those reasons and because my cat kept knocking over my stones (he can't help he likes crystals as much as I do!) Abalone shell dishes are the perfect way to keep your stones together. I have two right now full of different crystals and am working toward getting more. I sort them by properties and the way I use them. They also look super cute on my altar and shelf! Highly recommend this cute way to keep a collection. 

A Day With Amethyst

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. 

Returning to Nature

I took this picture of the gorgeous view of the luscious Catskill Mountains that I worked by all day. Every time I felt uninspired, disconnected, or stuck - I would gaze up into the greens and blues nature offered me.  

Nature is the absolute best form of inspiration. Our bodies need to be connected to the Earth. Our souls need to take in the lessons nature has to teach us. We need the elements the way we need oxygen. The wind gives us peace, the water gives us flow, the sky gives us perspective, the trees teach us growth, the rocks teach us strength. 

Whenever you feel down or uninspired, go spend some time in nature. Become connected with the Earth. Lose yourself in the elements, and you will find yourself once again.
