Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your boss, step Bowen.
Speaker 2: And I'm Samantha Fay.
Speaker 1: You are just so excited and delighted that you have
Speaker 1: joined us this week for one of the topics that
Speaker 1: Samantha and I love the most to talk and teach about,
Speaker 1: and that is cleansing and charging crystals. That's probably the
Speaker 1: topic that we get the most questions from you folks
Speaker 1: about as well, so we hope that this episode will
Speaker 1: really be helpful to you. Samantha, you want to start
Speaker 1: us off.
Speaker 2: Sure them, So I thought it would be a good
Speaker 2: idea to give a basic overview of what crystals are
Speaker 2: and how they work before we get into why you
Speaker 2: need to cleanse and charge them. So, as we know,
Speaker 2: chris work because they have either pyroelectric or piezoelectric properties.
Speaker 2: When pressure is applied to a piezoelectric crystal, an electric
Speaker 2: current is created, which I think is so cool. This
Speaker 2: piezoelectric effect means pressure creates an electric field around the crystal. Now,
Speaker 2: with pyroelectric crystals, they generate a polarizing charge as a
Speaker 2: result of being heated or cool. An example of a
Speaker 2: pyroelectric crystal is tormaline. And guess what another example of
Speaker 2: a pyroelectric crystal is dead what cane sugar?
Speaker 1: Say that again?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you heard me, cane sugar crystalline properties.
Speaker 3: Isn't that cool? It is?
Speaker 1: So each type of.
Speaker 2: Crystal has a crystal lattice structure, no matter how big
Speaker 2: or small the crystal is, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 2: Size does not matter. Each crystal has a growth access
Speaker 2: and will repeat the same lattice structure as it grows.
Speaker 2: Energy flows through this structure, causing the crystal to act
Speaker 2: like an antennae. Each crystal vibrates at its own particular rate.
Speaker 3: It has its.
Speaker 2: Own frequency, So when we bring a crystal into our
Speaker 2: own energy field, the crystal helps us synchronize with our vibration. So,
Speaker 2: for example, if you're feeling really out of whack and
Speaker 2: anxious and worried, and you bring a lepidolite into your
Speaker 2: energy the lepidolite is vibrating at a calming, soothing rate.
Speaker 2: Lapidolite has lithium in it, so that's why it's always
Speaker 2: recommended for anxiety, and it's going to then help match
Speaker 2: your crazy, hectic energetic vibrations and calm and soothe them down.
Speaker 2: Until it matches their chill, peaceful vibrations. We cannot change
Speaker 2: the frequency vibration of a stone. Crystals will work with
Speaker 2: us to help create and change the frequent and see
Speaker 2: vibration of us. They help us adapt our electric magnetic
Speaker 2: field to its vibration. So if you're working with a
Speaker 2: high vibration stone, your electric magnetic field increases. When you
Speaker 2: work with a lower vibrating stone, your electric magnetic field
Speaker 2: slows and calms down. The structure of a crystal grows
Speaker 2: in perfect harmony, whereas we tend to bend and sway
Speaker 2: with the energy of those around us. The belief is
Speaker 2: that working with crystals helps bring our energy into alignment.
Speaker 2: So think about this. If a crystal can help a
Speaker 2: watch keep time or a computer store energy, then possibly
Speaker 2: the crystal can help us on our own road to healing.
Speaker 2: Isn't that fascinating?
Speaker 1: It is, and I know it's true. My heart does
Speaker 1: funky things and beats fleered. I will take a piece
Speaker 1: of pitolite onto my heart over my breast, and I
Speaker 1: can feel my heart matching its rhythm and bait to
Speaker 1: the energy that's submitted from that pital life.
Speaker 2: I know you're saying you know that this is true.
Speaker 2: But what's so cool is science has proven this is
Speaker 2: all true. Take for example, you know we've talked before
Speaker 2: about Marcel Vogel, the IBM scientists who created the vocal crystals. Well,
Speaker 2: he started studying crystals in the nineteen seventies and when
Speaker 2: he was studying them under a microscope, he noticed that
Speaker 2: the crystal patterns took the shape of what he was
Speaker 2: thinking about, and he hypothesized that this was connected to
Speaker 2: the vibrations connecting our molecules with the molecules of the crystal.
Speaker 2: This is how he went on to create his own
Speaker 2: unique special way to cut a crystal, which is called
Speaker 2: a vocal crystal, and he has taught people how to
Speaker 2: cut crystals like this and use them to help direct
Speaker 2: healing energy. Vocal crystals are really expensive. Do you have one?
Speaker 3: I do not.
Speaker 2: I don't either. I have a vocal style crystal. So
Speaker 2: you can get vocal crystals that are called vocal style
Speaker 2: cris because they are cut by someone who is imitating
Speaker 2: the vocal style. But there are certain people in the
Speaker 2: world that are certified and trained in the vocal cutting,
Speaker 2: and those crystals are really really expensive. But the research
Speaker 2: done on them is amazing. In mind that crystals can receive, hold, direct, project,
Speaker 2: and reflect light, so it makes sense that they could
Speaker 2: help us with difficult energies like depression or anxiety, because
Speaker 2: when we're feeling sad, the light seems far away. If
Speaker 2: a crystal has been proven to hold and emanate light,
Speaker 2: and has been witnessed to help us align our energy,
Speaker 2: then I think it's pretty reasonable to assume they can
Speaker 2: help us to take in more light and help alleviate
Speaker 2: any sadness or worry you're feeling.
Speaker 1: Well, you know that's true, Samantha, And and I think
Speaker 1: about just flowers, for example, We readily accept that different
Speaker 1: colored flowers or different kinds of plants have different jobs
Speaker 1: to do from a universal energy perspective, so we can certainly,
Speaker 1: I think, except the idea that that is true. With
Speaker 1: all the variations of crystals and stones that there are
Speaker 1: in the world, they're millions and we still keep discovering
Speaker 1: new ones. Yes, it's a wonderful thing, isn't it. And
Speaker 1: you know, Samantha, we get a zillion questions from folks
Speaker 1: about stones, and we get messages on Facebook with a
Speaker 1: picture of a rock saying what is this? And sometimes
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to tell what it is looking at
Speaker 1: a picture.
Speaker 3: There are some.
Speaker 1: Really good books out there, and we'll be talking about
Speaker 1: those later in the hour that we recommend that you get.
Speaker 1: But we do recommend that if you're going to work
Speaker 1: with stones, you really work from a real reputable book source.
Speaker 1: The more that you learn about them and the more
Speaker 1: that you build a personal relationship with your stones, the better.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I always invite folks to do,
Speaker 1: even with tumbled stones, just grab into your bowlestones, close
Speaker 1: your eyes and just by the connection of the vibration
Speaker 1: between you and that rock, see if you can figure
Speaker 1: out what you've got in your hand. Because of quartz
Speaker 1: will feel different than an obsidian energetically.
Speaker 2: One of the things I did to start learning the
Speaker 2: different stones, I just went on eBay and I would
Speaker 2: order different pounds, Like I would just google one pound
Speaker 2: mixed gemstone lot and I would order it. A pound
Speaker 2: of mixed gemstones usually runs you between seventeen and twenty
Speaker 2: five dollars. It would come in the mail, I'd cleanse
Speaker 2: the stones, I'd dump them out on my carpet, and
Speaker 2: I would get the crystal Bible out and I would
Speaker 2: just try to identify each one, and if I couldn't
Speaker 2: from that book, I'd go to Melodies or Cassandra Easton's.
Speaker 2: If I couldn't from those books, then I would just
Speaker 2: go online and I would google blue stones and hit
Speaker 2: images and scroll through until I found a picture that
Speaker 2: matched what I had. And as I kept doing that
Speaker 2: over and over, I would learn about each of the stones.
Speaker 2: But then I would start to notice patterns. So blue
Speaker 2: ChIL Sidney looks a lot like blue Lay Sagat, but
Speaker 2: blue Lay Sagit always has those lovely striations of lines
Speaker 2: going through it, whereas Blue ChIL Sedney doesn't. It normally
Speaker 2: has a little bit of brown in it, and it
Speaker 2: has a different milky texture to it. So I just
Speaker 2: kept getting new and new stones and.
Speaker 3: Learning that way.
Speaker 2: But there's a number of different ways you can learn
Speaker 2: to identify the stones. And really, sometimes when people come
Speaker 2: to me after class and they're all free tic, I
Speaker 2: have this stone, I need to know what it is.
Speaker 2: I need to know what it is. Obviously I help
Speaker 2: them identify it, but I always say to them, you
Speaker 2: don't have to label this stone, you don't have to
Speaker 2: give it a name, just become its friend. And ask
Speaker 2: the stone, why is it here for you? Just because
Speaker 2: we know that watermelon tormaline helps with love and heart
Speaker 2: and self love issues doesn't mean that's why it's in
Speaker 2: your life. It might have come to you for a
Speaker 2: different reason. It might have come with you to help
Speaker 2: you work on opening up yourself to loving others rather
Speaker 2: than receiving love. So don't get so caught up in
Speaker 2: identifying the stones. Get more invested in creating relationships with
Speaker 2: the stones.
Speaker 1: The more you create a relationship with the stone, it's
Speaker 1: like your family. You know your relatives, You know the
Speaker 1: plants you planted in your yard or in pots on
Speaker 1: your deck. Your rocks are the same way, and they
Speaker 1: have personalities, they have energy, vibrations, and the more you
Speaker 1: get to know them, the more I want to say successful,
Speaker 1: but that's not really the word I'm looking for. The
Speaker 1: more accurate your work with them will be because they
Speaker 1: will be doing what they're meant to do in their
Speaker 1: relationship with you.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So the point of today's show is to
Speaker 2: talk primarily about cleansing versus charging your stones. So first
Speaker 2: let's talk about why do you need to cleanse a stone?
Speaker 1: Dem they get dirty and I don't mean that flippically.
Speaker 1: I mean it quite seriously. That's one layer and one
Speaker 1: level of cleansing. Just when you clean your bouse and
Speaker 1: you dusted and you say, good golly, Helen, the world
Speaker 1: did this table get covered in this layer of dusts
Speaker 1: So if you've got a bowl of crystals on that table,
Speaker 1: they've gotten dusty too. In addition to that, because they
Speaker 1: absorb energy from the world around them, they need to
Speaker 1: be cleaned energetically. So keep in mind that cleaning and
Speaker 1: clearing are two entirely different things, So you need to
Speaker 1: clean them before you can do anything else with them.
Speaker 3: They need to stay clean.
Speaker 2: Yes, So think about it this way. If, as we
Speaker 2: said at the start of the show, if stones do
Speaker 2: not change their energetic vibration, picture them like a sponge
Speaker 2: that you brought home from the store to clean your counters.
Speaker 2: Does the sponge clean your counters? Yeah, it does, But
Speaker 2: what does the sponge look like after it's cleansed your counters?
Speaker 2: It looks kind of nasty. So you've got to then
Speaker 2: wash and scrub the sponge. This is what crystals do
Speaker 2: for us. So yeah, Deb's right. They do get dirty
Speaker 2: and physically dusty, but they also get energetically funked up
Speaker 2: as well because they've worked with your funked up energy.
Speaker 2: So if you bring a crystal into your energy space
Speaker 2: to specifically work on increasing your joy or helping you
Speaker 2: remove blockages to abundance or inviting more love. In the
Speaker 2: way it does that is by absorbing any blockages, any
Speaker 2: negative energy that you're carrying within you, so it can
Speaker 2: clean that away, brush it off, and bring your energy
Speaker 2: up to the alignment of that stone. In that process,
Speaker 2: that stone takes on what it's absorbed from you, so
Speaker 2: you have to cleanse it of that so that it
Speaker 2: can be willing, ready, and able to continue working with you.
Speaker 2: When you get a stone home from the store, you
Speaker 2: also have to think about all the people that touched
Speaker 2: that stone. Rocks are millions of years old, so before
Speaker 2: it arrives in your home, it has been in other
Speaker 2: people's homes. It has been in other people's hands, it
Speaker 2: has been another lands countries, it's been in the mailing system.
Speaker 2: It's been handled a million different ways throughout the years.
Speaker 2: So the very first thing you want to do is
Speaker 2: cleanse the stone before you start working with it. But
Speaker 2: this is not a one and done because once you
Speaker 2: bring your stone home and then you properly cleanse it,
Speaker 2: and then you work with it. You still have to
Speaker 2: keep cleansing it. It's just like us. We need to
Speaker 2: bathe every day. Crystals do not need to be cleansed
Speaker 2: every day. The general rule of thumb is about once
Speaker 2: a month. Now, if you're working with the stone daily
Speaker 2: to do something serious, like let's say, for example, you're
Speaker 2: working on healing your inner child, and you're working with smithsonite,
Speaker 2: which is my go to for that. Yellow chilcedony is
Speaker 2: also a great stone for that work. And let's say
Speaker 2: every day you're working with that stone, maybe you're holding
Speaker 2: it in meditation as you do cord cutting, or maybe
Speaker 2: you've placed it in a grid over a picture of
Speaker 2: yourself as a child, or maybe you're just tucking it
Speaker 2: under your pillow at night and listening to a guided
Speaker 2: meditation to heal inner child issues. And you're doing this
Speaker 2: every day for about a week, then you're going to
Speaker 2: want to cleanse that stone on a weekly basis. So
Speaker 2: it depends on how you're using the stone, but the
Speaker 2: general rule of thumb is once a month.
Speaker 1: I have a necklace that I wear that has a
Speaker 1: phantom quartz, a moonstone, and hey, metamorphosis quarts on it.
Speaker 1: Those are my go to protection stones. That are my
Speaker 1: stones that heighten intuition when I'm doing work. I mean,
Speaker 1: that necklace is my it has been for many years,
Speaker 1: my go to combination of rocks when I'm working. And
Speaker 1: there are times when it feels like that necklace weighs
Speaker 1: about one hundred pounds around my neck, and when it
Speaker 1: reaches a point where it feels like I am just
Speaker 1: going to topple over because those rocks have done all
Speaker 1: the work.
Speaker 3: That they can do and they need a break.
Speaker 1: I know it's time to take that necklace off and
Speaker 1: clean it and let it.
Speaker 3: Rest for a bit before I work with it again.
Speaker 1: That's what we mean by really being connected to the
Speaker 1: energy of the rocks that you're working with. It's because it,
Speaker 1: believe me, that gets cleaned way more than once in
Speaker 1: a mole. Whereas the general rule you're talking about is true.
Speaker 1: But if it's a stone that is really your like
Speaker 1: the stone that you use, for example, when you're doing
Speaker 1: meditation work and that sort of thing, you know when
Speaker 1: that rock needs.
Speaker 3: Cleaning, you just know. And that's the same with me
Speaker 3: with that neck I.
Speaker 2: Wear a clear quartz necklace every day, and I cleanse
Speaker 2: that every night because it's clear quartz, and because I
Speaker 2: wear it every day, so clear quarts its main job
Speaker 2: is to amplify whatever energy is around it. So if
Speaker 2: I'm feeling sad or tired, it's going to amplify that.
Speaker 2: If I'm feeling happy and excited, it's going to amplify that.
Speaker 2: If you wear a stone every day, I definitely recommend
Speaker 2: you cleanse it way more than once a month. I
Speaker 2: just get into the habit because it's clear quartz and
Speaker 2: it's set in sterling silver. I take it off every
Speaker 2: night when I'm washing my face and brushing my teeth,
Speaker 2: and I just run it under the tap water, and
Speaker 2: I say, I cleanse the stone of any energy. It
Speaker 2: is a crude being around my neck all day. I
Speaker 2: ask that Angel surround this charm so that when I
Speaker 2: wear it, I come to no harm. And then I
Speaker 2: put it back on my neck and I go to bed.
Speaker 2: When I sage my house, I also run my crystal
Speaker 2: necklace through there, and I run the sage smoke over
Speaker 2: all the crystals in my house. So I do recommend
Speaker 2: if you're wearing stones every day that you should cleanse
Speaker 2: them a lot. I don't think you have to do
Speaker 2: it every day like I do, but more than once
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 1: As we talked a couple of weeks ago, I wear
Speaker 1: always my Besica Pisce's ring, and it's silber, but it
Speaker 1: gets clean too. Any kind of jewelry that goes on
Speaker 1: my body that is there because I need it for
Speaker 1: my spiritual and intuitive work, it all gets cleaned in
Speaker 1: that way, not.
Speaker 3: Just my stones.
Speaker 2: Before we talk about specific ways you can cleanse your stones,
Speaker 2: we're going to take a quick break.
Speaker 1: Hi, folks, it's Deb and I'm here with my friend
Speaker 1: Zara Renee, and I'm just so excited to share the
Speaker 1: news of not only a new course, but a whole
Speaker 1: new metaphysical adventure that we've called the Sacred Summer Series.
Speaker 4: Deb, thank you so much. I'm so pumped to be
Speaker 4: on this journey with you. It is going to be
Speaker 4: so much fun.
Speaker 1: It is, isn't it? And you know this is coming
Speaker 1: about because students have asked me over and over again,
Speaker 1: how is all of this stuff connected? How do we
Speaker 1: paint a whole picture not just paint by numbers.
Speaker 4: Well, there's nothing wrong with numbers, dev no.
Speaker 3: No, there's not.
Speaker 1: And I love numerology, as you know, and that's one
Speaker 1: of the courses that we're going to be offering this summer,
Speaker 1: along with Animal Spirits and mythology and arch types.
Speaker 3: You know how I love archetypes.
Speaker 4: I know you do, and having taken your courses before,
Speaker 4: I know that they're not just fun, but they're foundational
Speaker 4: for metaphysical work.
Speaker 1: That's true. I believe they are, and so folks, it's
Speaker 1: exactly that this exploration a foundation of metaphysical work that
Speaker 1: we've teamed up to bring to you with some twist
Speaker 1: core courses that will be offered in May, June, and July.
Speaker 4: That's right, and Deb and I are offering a free
Speaker 4: information session about these courses the topics. Registration discounts more information.
Speaker 4: It's that's happening on Saturday, April eighteenth, So head over
Speaker 4: to Dev's web site.
Speaker 1: That's devoen dot com.
Speaker 4: And register now for the Sacred Summer Series free information session.
Speaker 3: I am so looking forward to this, folks. We so
Speaker 3: hope you will join us.
Speaker 4: We'll see yall there.
Speaker 2: Okay, So, there are so many ways you can cleanse
Speaker 2: a stone, and no one way is better than the other.
Speaker 2: I want to make that clear.
Speaker 1: So, Samantha, one of the easiest ways to clean a
Speaker 1: stone is with your breath, because when we're breathing out,
Speaker 1: we are sending out positive energy. Basically, that is our intention.
Speaker 1: And so one of the easiest things to do is
Speaker 1: to hold the stone in your hands, take a deep
Speaker 1: breath and breathe all them and as you breathe on
Speaker 1: the stone, you are sending it positive energy and light,
Speaker 1: and you are inviting it to do what it does.
Speaker 1: The stone does under its normal circumstances for what it
Speaker 1: was grown to do. And you can do that just
Speaker 1: real easily anytime you need to, Particularly if you're wearing
Speaker 1: a stone, you can kind of pull it off around
Speaker 1: your neck and just breathe into it and you've cleaned it.
Speaker 2: Another easy and foolproof way to clean your crystals is
Speaker 2: with rice. It doesn't matter if it's brown rice or
Speaker 2: white rice or jasmine rice. Any rice will do. Not cooked,
Speaker 2: not cooked, yes, just get a box or a bag
Speaker 2: of rice, pour it into a glass bowl. You want
Speaker 2: to try to use any natural bowl, so pottery or
Speaker 2: ceramic glass. You don't want to use tupperware, for example.
Speaker 2: You want to keep the natural elements going and just
Speaker 2: pour the uncooked rice into a bowl and soak your
Speaker 2: crystals into that dry rice. The way I think about
Speaker 2: it is if rice can help us save our iPhones.
Speaker 2: You know, if you dunk your phone in water, you
Speaker 2: can put it in a bowl of rice and the
Speaker 2: rice will absor of the water from that phone. I
Speaker 2: feel it's the same with crystals. When you put your
Speaker 2: crystals in a bowl of dried rice, the rice is
Speaker 2: soaking up and absorbing any negative energy. That crystal has
Speaker 2: a crude. When you're done, you weave it in there overnight,
Speaker 2: so about twelve hours, and then when you take your
Speaker 2: crystal out, it is cleansed. Do not cook with that rice,
Speaker 2: just give it back to the earth and do not
Speaker 2: use it.
Speaker 1: You can also, of course, you sage. Just buy a
Speaker 1: bag of dry sage and again put it in a bowl,
Speaker 1: a natural bowl, and put your crystals. Nestle them down
Speaker 1: in the sage and put some sage on top of them,
Speaker 1: and do the same thing. Let them soak, but not
Speaker 1: in water, but soak absorbing the energy of the sage overnight,
Speaker 1: and then do the same thing with the sage. You
Speaker 1: can sprinkle it back onto the earth or you can
Speaker 1: take it outside it and burn it if you'd like
Speaker 1: to do that, but sage works very well.
Speaker 3: Also.
Speaker 1: Probably the question we get asked the most about cleaning
Speaker 1: crystals is why using salt water often? In fact, I
Speaker 1: responded to a Facebook question about this the other day
Speaker 1: when I said, well, don't watch the its in water,
Speaker 1: and the person didn't know what I meant by ikes,
Speaker 1: and I realized that that was a lot of information
Speaker 1: on Facebook. So ites are those stones where the last
Speaker 1: part of the name of the stone is it so Angelite, celestite, selenite,
Speaker 1: az a right, exactly this heights.
Speaker 2: No rule with salt water is any stone that has
Speaker 2: a hardness level under seven should not be placed in
Speaker 2: salt water or any water. Melodies books have listed all
Speaker 2: the properties of every stone, including their hardness level, but
Speaker 2: you can also just google it as well. What hardness
Speaker 2: level does you know as a right have and it'll
Speaker 2: pop up for you. So if it's under seven, do
Speaker 2: not put it in water. But if it's harder than that,
Speaker 2: so for example, Absorrian, amethyst, Carnelian, those stones work very
Speaker 2: well washed in water. I use plane old tap water,
Speaker 2: Samantha plane tap water, and I use plain old table salt.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I use sea salt if I have it, which
Speaker 2: I do these days usually, But it doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be all that fancy stuff. And I just want you
Speaker 2: mention that because so many crystal teachers will say, you
Speaker 2: have to use sea salt, you have to use Himalayan salt. No,
Speaker 2: you have to use distilled water, you have to use
Speaker 2: spring water.
Speaker 1: Don't get you in all the rules. I have to
Speaker 1: tell you something, you know. Remember I've been doing this
Speaker 1: for more than forty years. You know, sometimes simple is
Speaker 1: really best. Folks have been working with stones all a
Speaker 1: lot longer than my forty years and have used exactly
Speaker 1: what I just suggested, plain old water and plain old
Speaker 1: salt and let them soak overnight. It's much more about
Speaker 1: the energetic connection and intention than anything else from my perspective.
Speaker 2: From mine too. Now, if you really really love cleansing
Speaker 2: your stones in salt water, there is an indirect method
Speaker 2: you can use. You can fill a bowl with salt
Speaker 2: water and then put a smaller empty bowl inside that
Speaker 2: water so that it's kind of like floating on top,
Speaker 2: and then you can put your crystals in that empty bowl.
Speaker 2: And that's called the indirect method of cleansing them. So
Speaker 2: if you have a selenite or a celestite and you
Speaker 2: just really want to cleanse it in salt water, that's
Speaker 2: a way you can do it. Another way I love
Speaker 2: to cleanse my stones is just with the earth, where
Speaker 2: I just dunk them in soil. So if you have
Speaker 2: a little rg garden or a window box or a planter,
Speaker 2: you can just pop your stone into the earth and
Speaker 2: allow it to be back in its natural home overnight.
Speaker 1: I think that's a lovely thing to do, particularly with
Speaker 1: stones that have worked really hard and are earth stones.
Speaker 1: So greenstones for example, and brown stones particularly really like
Speaker 1: to be putting a flower pot, for example, overnight. I
Speaker 1: mean that makes them really happy.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 2: Although I know I've told this story before, but I'm
Speaker 2: going to tell it again for a new listeners. Is
Speaker 2: the first time I tried this. I have window boxes
Speaker 2: on several of my windows, and I thought, well, how nice,
Speaker 2: because I was afraid of just you know, popping them
Speaker 2: in the earth of my yard and then forgetting where
Speaker 2: I put them. So I thought I was gonna put
Speaker 2: them in my window boxes. So I had mainly clear
Speaker 2: courts that I was collecting at that time, so I
Speaker 2: put all my clear courts half in and half out
Speaker 2: of my window boxes. And I look up in the
Speaker 2: morning and I'm just making my tea and going about
Speaker 2: my day, and I see smoke billowing past the windows,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, holy cow, my house is on fire.
Speaker 2: I go running outside. All those window boxes were on fire,
Speaker 2: because you know, with the window boxes you have like
Speaker 2: that straw base, right, and then the soil and the
Speaker 2: light hit the clear courts and boom. I had a
Speaker 2: little fire. The stones were fine, my flowers not so much.
Speaker 2: So just be careful if you put clear courts out.
Speaker 2: It would recommend you bury them in the earth, leave
Speaker 2: them so that they reflect and end up setting fire.
Speaker 2: But that's a good thing to know.
Speaker 1: If you're out in the quids and you're camping and
Speaker 1: you don't have any matches, that's the way you can
Speaker 1: start it.
Speaker 3: Five if you beat it. I get this is true.
Speaker 2: Bound is also a really easy way to cleanse your stones.
Speaker 2: And this is great for those of us who are
Speaker 2: crystal hoarders, and we have crystals in every room dead.
Speaker 2: We get this question a lot because every full moon
Speaker 2: we'll always post something like, don't forget to put your
Speaker 2: crystals out, and then we'll get a question going. I
Speaker 2: have one hundred and seventy five crystals. I cannot take
Speaker 2: them all out in the moonlight. And I get that,
Speaker 2: and we're going to talk about that after the break.
Speaker 2: But if you do have crystals in every room, in
Speaker 2: the thought of cleansing them individually every single month, just
Speaker 2: exhaust you. Simply get a bell, a tibetan singing bowl,
Speaker 2: a crystal bowl, any sound. Clap your hands and go
Speaker 2: throughout the room, directing the sound over all of your crystals,
Speaker 2: and set the intention that the sound, the energy of
Speaker 2: that vibration of sound going through the air will cleanse
Speaker 2: that crystal and all of those crystals in your home.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind that just clapping your hands raises the
Speaker 1: vibration in a room.
Speaker 3: Don't forget that.
Speaker 2: Think about when you're in an audience and you've got
Speaker 2: the producer who comes on before the show and gets
Speaker 2: everybody amped up and excited and clapping. Why do you
Speaker 2: think they want us all to clap before a production,
Speaker 2: a play, a comedian, a talk show. It's because clapping
Speaker 2: gets the energy up, and it gets us happier and
Speaker 2: ready to receive the performance. We're about to see. So
Speaker 2: clapping has a long history of lifting and raising vibrations.
Speaker 2: You can also just get feathers now. If you're like me,
Speaker 2: you might collect feathers. I know that's kind of a
Speaker 2: weird thing to do, but I think you do it too.
Speaker 1: Deb I can't even tell you. I probably I have
Speaker 1: almost as bath fathers as I do crystals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I find a feather on my walk, I
Speaker 2: pick it up, I take it home. I put it
Speaker 2: in the freezer, and I also put it in boorax
Speaker 2: to kind of get any germs off of it. But
Speaker 2: then I keep the feathers. Or you can purchase feathers,
Speaker 2: I suppose too, And you can just put crystals in
Speaker 2: a little bowl of feathers, and that is said to
Speaker 2: help them cleanse as well.
Speaker 1: The other thing you can do is that if you
Speaker 1: can run your stones through incense, not just sage but
Speaker 1: any kind of incense really. But one thing you can
Speaker 1: do is waft the incense smoke over your stones using
Speaker 1: a feather. So there are ways to work in combination
Speaker 1: with some of their.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great suggestion, And you can use the sage smoke
Speaker 2: if you don't want to use up all your dried
Speaker 2: sage in a bowl. You can just burn the sage
Speaker 2: and use the feather to brush the sage smoke over
Speaker 2: all of your crystals. The crystal clear spray that I
Speaker 2: make on my website, I use that to cleanse my
Speaker 2: crystals all the time. If I'm just kind of lazy
Speaker 2: or tired that month, I'll just go around my house
Speaker 2: and sprits on there because it's got all cleansing properties
Speaker 2: in there. It's got the sage, the frankincense, the lavender,
Speaker 2: and a little dash of sea salt. So you can
Speaker 2: just sprints those on your stones as well. And you
Speaker 2: can always make your own too. So there are so
Speaker 2: many ways to cleanse a crystal. These are just some
Speaker 2: of them. And know that no one way is better
Speaker 2: than the other. The only thing you want to be
Speaker 2: careful about is water, because those stones with the hardness
Speaker 2: under seven, they are just a little bit gentler and
Speaker 2: shyer than the other stones, and they need a little
Speaker 2: bit more caution. All right, So let's talk about how
Speaker 2: to charge your stones when we come back from our
Speaker 2: little break. Hey, guys, in April, I'm teaching the be
Speaker 2: your Own Psychic class that will start Wednesdays in April
Speaker 2: on April eighth, from seven to eight thirty pm Eastern.
Speaker 2: In this jam packed interactive course, you'll learn how to
Speaker 2: work with your chakras to awaken and strengthen your intuition.
Speaker 2: You're partnered up with someone new from class each week
Speaker 2: to practice all of the exercises in the course. Some
Speaker 2: of the topics covered include working with guys and angels,
Speaker 2: how to start doing readings, finding your community, working with
Speaker 2: your clayers, and using psychic tools. The four week class
Speaker 2: includes lots of handouts, three guided MP three meditations, and
Speaker 2: class recordings. Just go to Samantha Fay dot com and
Speaker 2: click the Upcoming events tab. Hope to see you there. Okay,
Speaker 2: so let's talk about charging crystals. So, deb when you've
Speaker 2: already cleansed the stones, they're ready to work with you.
Speaker 1: What do you do then, Well, then you need to
Speaker 1: have a relationship built with the stone that connects the
Speaker 1: two of you energetically. Stones do what they do, they
Speaker 1: have jobs to do, and there's nothing really that you
Speaker 1: can do about that. You know, a long time ago, Samantha,
Speaker 1: you and I did a podcast episode entitle There's a
Speaker 1: Rock for That, and we talked for an hour about
Speaker 1: how stones do certain things. Some stones are used for healing,
Speaker 1: and some stones are used to enhance your psychic ability,
Speaker 1: and some stones are repel negativity, and they do all
Speaker 1: these different things. And it almost sounded like at the
Speaker 1: end of that episode that if you just went and
Speaker 1: got a rock, all this stuff was going to happen,
Speaker 1: because that's what the rock naturally does. And sometime later
Speaker 1: we did a podcast episode entitled There's not a rock
Speaker 1: for That, And that's because and we did that episode
Speaker 1: because while it's true the stones do what they do,
Speaker 1: but to coordinate your energetic field with theirs so that
Speaker 1: the stone does what it does naturally in conjunction with you,
Speaker 1: and your intention is something that you have to take
Speaker 1: responsibility for. You want to clean the stones, and then
Speaker 1: you want to charge them in the sense that you
Speaker 1: ask the stone to work with you.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of.
Speaker 1: Times back in a long time ago, when folks were
Speaker 1: just starting to work with crystals, we would often hear
Speaker 1: folks say, well, I'm programming my crystal to do so
Speaker 1: and so, and that word just doesn't sit well with
Speaker 1: me because the stone already does what it does, but
Speaker 1: will it work with you?
Speaker 3: And that's where you match your energy with the stones.
Speaker 1: So you ask, you don't program, you ask the stone
Speaker 1: to work with you in a particular way. Here's an example.
Speaker 1: I have a beautiful amethysts geode, and amethyst is a
Speaker 1: natural healing stone.
Speaker 3: That's one of its jobs.
Speaker 1: But I have asked that particular geode to be the
Speaker 1: stone that works with me with my prayer list. I
Speaker 1: think I got seventeen names of people in dire physical
Speaker 1: crisis right now. That list sits with that amethyst geode
Speaker 1: right this minute, and that stone said, absolutely, I will
Speaker 1: do why now naturally do and try to be helpful.
Speaker 1: So that's what I mean by charging the stone, and
Speaker 1: the way that we charge stones can be as simple
Speaker 1: as sitting in meditation with the stone and holding it
Speaker 1: in our hands and asking that stone to do what
Speaker 1: it naturally does. Another example is mahogany obsidian works very
Speaker 1: well in protecting us against storms. And I have a
Speaker 1: palm size piece of mahogany obsidian and two smaller tumbled
Speaker 1: pieces that during hurricane season or an altar specifically for hurricanes,
Speaker 1: And as the season started in June, I pulled them
Speaker 1: b out of the bowl, I cleaned them, and I
Speaker 1: charged them by holding them and asking them to once
Speaker 1: again do their job for me and my little island,
Speaker 1: and that's what they're so far doing. But there are
Speaker 1: a lot of other ways to charge stone, so.
Speaker 2: Each stone has its job to do. In general, you
Speaker 2: can look to the color of the stone to help
Speaker 2: guide you with that. This is why knowing the chakras
Speaker 2: is helpful in everything, but especially with crystals. So for example,
Speaker 2: any red stone is going to help with passion, energy, drive, ambition, focus,
Speaker 2: root chakra stuff. Any orange stone is going to help
Speaker 2: with creativity, sexuality, fertility, body image, sacral chakra stuff. Yellow
Speaker 2: stones help with will, confidence, self esteem, joy abundance, Solar
Speaker 2: plexus green stones help with growth, abundance, love healing. Pink
Speaker 2: helps with love, forgiveness, self love, romance, so heart chakra things.
Speaker 2: Light bluestones are great for communication, peace, truth, angelic connections.
Speaker 2: Throat chakra dark bluestones help with intuition, wisdom, surrender, trust,
Speaker 2: third eye chakra. Purple stones help with spirituality, dreamwork, connecting
Speaker 2: to the higher sell from the divine crown chakra work.
Speaker 2: Brown stones are great for grounding, protection, stabilizing think earth chakra.
Speaker 2: Black stones are great for grounding and protection as well,
Speaker 2: but also shielding and absorbing negativity. White stones are wonderful
Speaker 2: for nurturing, calming, instilling peace, lifting vibration, and purifying the energy.
Speaker 2: Let's say, for example, you're walking through the mall and
Speaker 2: someone's following you and harassing you and kind of scaring you.
Speaker 2: If you go up to a salesperson aka a Rose
Speaker 2: Courts and you ask that salesperson, hey, this person keeps
Speaker 2: following me and talking to me and kind of bothering me.
Speaker 2: I'm a little nervous. Can you help me? The rose
Speaker 2: course is going to be like no, but I can
Speaker 2: help you find this item you're just going to fall
Speaker 2: in love with. But if you go up to the
Speaker 2: security guard aka the hematite and say, hey, this person's
Speaker 2: following me and kind of creeping me out, can you
Speaker 2: help me, that heematite security guard is going to be like, heck, yeah,
Speaker 2: stand behind me.
Speaker 3: I got you.
Speaker 2: When you're working with a stone, you can't ask it
Speaker 2: to do something it can can't do. So I wouldn't
Speaker 2: go to a Rose Courts for protection, and I wouldn't
Speaker 2: go to a Haematite for love. Make sure you know
Speaker 2: the general energetic vibration of a stone before you ask
Speaker 2: it to work with you. Once you know that, then
Speaker 2: you can sit with the stone. You can ask the stone,
Speaker 2: why did you come into my life? What is our
Speaker 2: work here together? If you have acquired a stone for
Speaker 2: a specific purpose, like helping you create more abundance, so
Speaker 2: let's say you've gone to a citrine or a pyrite,
Speaker 2: you can ask that stone, Hey, I've been having some
Speaker 2: money issues and money worries. Every time money comes to me,
Speaker 2: it seems to flow right back out of my wallet.
Speaker 2: I ask that you help me recognize any patterns I
Speaker 2: have in my life that are blocking my ability to
Speaker 2: create permanent abundance, and I ask that you help me
Speaker 2: recognize opportunities for creating more financial abundance in my life.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about moon's energy versus the Sun's energy. This
Speaker 2: is a question we get a lot. Do I cleanse
Speaker 2: my stone in the sun or the moon? Do I
Speaker 2: charge my stone in the sun or the moon. You
Speaker 2: will read different answers to those questions on different websites
Speaker 2: and different books. If I want to charge a crystal
Speaker 2: with the energy that I'm asking it to help me with,
Speaker 2: I will sit out in the sunlight on a sunny day,
Speaker 2: and I will ask that stone to work with me
Speaker 2: for the intention that I have set, and then I
Speaker 2: will set that stone out in the sun for a
Speaker 2: few hours to soak in that energy of the sun
Speaker 2: and charge it up with all that healing vibration.
Speaker 1: So let me talk about how I see it. A
Speaker 1: lot of stones are really wonderfully charged in sunlight, but
Speaker 1: moonlight also charges stones. And particularly remember that it's from
Speaker 1: moonlight that we are connected to our intuitive selves, and
Speaker 1: so stones that particularly with our intuitive abilities, stones that
Speaker 1: have healing properties, I charge them in moonlight, and I
Speaker 1: literally envision that beam of light coming from the moon
Speaker 1: comes into those stones and does a reset basically on
Speaker 1: the stone's ability to do its job. So I do
Speaker 1: use moonlight and moon water. Sometimes I will also take
Speaker 1: water outside in the moonlight and let that water be
Speaker 1: imbued with the energy of the moon, and will also
Speaker 1: sometimes wash my stones with that. Now that said, another
Speaker 1: question that we get all the time is, as you
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Oh Gagali, I have one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five crystals.
Speaker 3: Do I need to put them all out in the moonlight?
Speaker 1: Well, probably not every month, but every once in a
Speaker 1: while for me personally, the answer to that question is yes.
Speaker 1: There are several times during the year where everybody gets
Speaker 1: physically clean and then they get laid out in the moonlight.
Speaker 1: That may mean outside, or I have a screened in porch,
Speaker 1: so sometimes I do that. But also sometimes just in
Speaker 1: a window sill. What happens if it rains, the moon
Speaker 1: is still up there, the moon is still shining. The
Speaker 1: energy of the moonlight comes through the clouds even if
Speaker 1: you can't see them, So sometimes just on a table
Speaker 1: in front of the window sill. But I do that
Speaker 1: several times a year. And one of the things that
Speaker 1: helps me with is that I think sometimes I get
Speaker 1: stagnant with the energy of stones because this stone has
Speaker 1: always been in this place, or it's been in this
Speaker 1: particular place for a long time, and the energy needs
Speaker 1: to shift and be moved around in my home, particularly
Speaker 1: if I'm setting new intentions for something. So sometimes I
Speaker 1: like to get everybody cleaned, everybody charged, and then I
Speaker 1: move folks around so that they get to know each
Speaker 1: other and work together in a different way, and I've
Speaker 1: set and asked for new intentions to be met. Conversely,
Speaker 1: there are also stones in my house that do exactly
Speaker 1: what they have done since the day I've cleaned them
Speaker 1: and charged them and brought them home initially. For example,
Speaker 1: I have a clear quartz cluster that has been on
Speaker 1: the floor next to my front door since the mid
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. That has always been the stone by my
Speaker 1: front door door. I have a piece of fuse shite
Speaker 1: that is on the railing on my porch that has
Speaker 1: made it through three hurricanes and never moved except for
Speaker 1: when I pick it up and clean it.
Speaker 3: It's still what to ask it to do.
Speaker 1: Then, That's what I mean by having that relationship with
Speaker 1: your stones is knowing that folks that need perhaps to
Speaker 1: be moved around are willing to do a different job
Speaker 1: or work in another constellation. That's what happens when we
Speaker 1: create a grid. And that's a whole other conversation I
Speaker 1: would imagine.
Speaker 3: But is it.
Speaker 1: We're asking stones to work together to do something. So
Speaker 1: sometimes you want to charge them and move them, and
Speaker 1: then other times you want to charge stuff and put
Speaker 1: them back to do what they've been doing.
Speaker 3: Gee for some time.
Speaker 1: Again, it's that individual relationship with your stones.
Speaker 2: Well, I agree with those people who email us or
Speaker 2: facebook us and say I have too many crystals to
Speaker 2: put out in the moonlight. I totally get that I
Speaker 2: have we too many crystals. It's embarrassing. They're lining all
Speaker 2: my windowsills, They're over my windows, They're in bowls in
Speaker 2: every room. They're strategically placed everywhere I rotate. And what
Speaker 2: I do is I just invested in a bunch of
Speaker 2: treys at Home Goods. I get all my trays out
Speaker 2: and I put all my crystals on those trays and
Speaker 2: I bring them out onto my deck. Now we live
Speaker 2: by the beach, and so very very very often during
Speaker 2: a full moon, it is raining and I don't have
Speaker 2: a screen, so I don't put them out obviously in
Speaker 2: the rain. But what I will do when it rains
Speaker 2: on a full moon is I will put out a
Speaker 2: bowl and I'll just collect the moonwater and then i'll
Speaker 2: leave it out in the morning sun as well, and
Speaker 2: then I'll pour that into a spray bottle. I'll add
Speaker 2: some essential oil of sage and frankincense, and then I'll
Speaker 2: just sprit those stones with that moonwater. So that's something
Speaker 2: else you can do if you're just not feeling up
Speaker 2: to putting all your crystals on trees and bringing them out.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't have to just be a full moon.
Speaker 2: One of the things I have in my crystal course
Speaker 2: is a whole section on how to charge and cleanse
Speaker 2: your stones with the different phases of the moon. So
Speaker 2: let's say, for example, you're looking for a job and
Speaker 2: you really want to grow a new job that you're
Speaker 2: working on, or a new project you're working on at
Speaker 2: your job. Well, a great stone for that would be
Speaker 2: garnet or green aventurine or massa get And so you
Speaker 2: could take that stone and put it out under the
Speaker 2: waxing moon, and when you go out in the morning
Speaker 2: under the sunlight, you can sit with that stone and say,
Speaker 2: I ask that you help me with this new job
Speaker 2: I'm applying for, or to grow the success of this
Speaker 2: new project I'm working on. Or let's say you're working
Speaker 2: on letting something go. Maybe you've just gone through a
Speaker 2: really hard breakup, or you're leaving a job, or you're
Speaker 2: working on getting rid of a bad habit. Let's say
Speaker 2: you're starting a diet. Well, appetite is actually a really
Speaker 2: good stone for losing weight, as is eihlight. And so
Speaker 2: you could take either of those stones and put it
Speaker 2: out under a waning moon, which is when we let
Speaker 2: go of things, leave it out there, and then in
Speaker 2: the morning sit with that stone and say, please help
Speaker 2: me on my fitness and healthy diet goals. So you
Speaker 2: can work with the phases of the moon. Or again,
Speaker 2: if you're starting something brand new, you let's say you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: starting September first, I am going to start that writing
Speaker 2: project I have been thinking about for months. Soda light
Speaker 2: is a great stone for writers. So you could put
Speaker 2: a soda light out under the new moon, and then
Speaker 2: again in the morning, sit with that soda light and say,
Speaker 2: you are going to be my muse, and I ask
Speaker 2: that you work with me with my writing project and
Speaker 2: help bring it to fruition. And then keep that stone,
Speaker 2: either wear it as a bracelet or a necklace, or
Speaker 2: just keep it in your pocket when you're writing. So
Speaker 2: think about the phases of the moon as you're working
Speaker 2: with crystals as well.
Speaker 1: That's important. And again it's about really having clarity of
Speaker 1: your intent to work with what the stone naturally does.
Speaker 1: We've alluded a couple of times to the books that
Speaker 1: are our go to books. Let me say them for
Speaker 1: you and that might be helpful to you. My go
Speaker 1: to primary book is Love Is in the Earth by Melody, expensive,
Speaker 1: but it's huge and it's a gigantic encyclopedia, and I
Speaker 1: learn something new and see a new stone every single
Speaker 1: time I open that book. So Love Is in the
Speaker 1: Earth by Melody. I know Samantha really loves The Crystal
Speaker 1: Bible by Judy Hall. And then we both love Cassandra
Speaker 1: Esen's work and she has several great books that we recommend.
Speaker 3: I really like her.
Speaker 1: Healing with Crystals is my favorite of hers, but she
Speaker 1: has several others. So Cassandra Eason, Melody and Judy Hall
Speaker 1: are our three go to gals.
Speaker 2: Now, there are some crystals that people say never need
Speaker 2: to be cleansed, like catrine, cornelian as as two light,
Speaker 2: and kyanite. They're said to be self cleansing stones. My
Speaker 2: kyanite blade, I've had it for years and I work
Speaker 2: with it every day when I do a chakra cleansing,
Speaker 2: a chakra balancing, when I meditate, when I sleep at night,
Speaker 2: I always have that kyanite blade with me because it
Speaker 2: helps to and balance and align your chakras. I know
Speaker 2: it doesn't need to be cleansed, but I still do.
Speaker 2: I still sage it because I feel like it's such
Speaker 2: a hard work in little stone. But I just wanted
Speaker 2: to mention those are some stones that are said that
Speaker 2: they don't need to be cleansed, and their job is
Speaker 2: to clean other stones around it. That's why I always
Speaker 2: say to keep, for example, a tumbled Carnelian in your
Speaker 2: bowl of stones. So again, just kind of go by
Speaker 2: how you feel when you're holding that stone. If you
Speaker 2: feel has taken on a lot of energy, even if
Speaker 2: it is said to not needing a cleansing, I think
Speaker 2: it's a good idea to just give it a little
Speaker 2: bit of extra love and attention.
Speaker 1: And I guess I can't stress enough the need to
Speaker 1: really research and learn. But in addition to that finding
Speaker 1: your own relationship with the stone, and that really does
Speaker 1: require time. It requires practice, It requires testing to see
Speaker 1: what happens. Here's a say, and sometimes you're not sure,
Speaker 1: but apophylyte, for example, is known to prevent kitchen fires.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I believe Melody says
Speaker 1: it does. So there's a piece of a patholyte on
Speaker 1: my kitchen stove. Well, so far, so good.
Speaker 3: Seems to work. I'm very grateful.
Speaker 1: Whether or not it does. I don't really know, other
Speaker 1: than to say I'm got to saying it's so far,
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 2: Well, Apopolytes grow in a natural pyramid shape, so they're
Speaker 2: also said to lift the energy in any room it's
Speaker 2: placed in. So it's a great idea to have an
Speaker 2: apophylyte pyramid in any room, not just the kitchen. It's
Speaker 2: such a high vibration stone.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: The other question we get a lot is where do
Speaker 2: I start? What stone do I get? Usually I would
Speaker 2: say start with Clear Courts, because you can do anything
Speaker 2: with the Clear Courts. Rose Chords vibrates to love or
Speaker 2: moss Agate vibrates to growing and healing and health. Clear
Speaker 2: Courts doesn't have that. It's a clear slate, so you
Speaker 2: can ask Clear Courts to work with you on anything
Speaker 2: you ask it to work with you on. Another great
Speaker 2: place to start, I think, is to just get a
Speaker 2: stone that represents each of the seven chakras. If you
Speaker 2: just have seven stones that represent the seven chakras, you
Speaker 2: can use it to work with your chakra meditation, and
Speaker 2: then you can use the individual stones in a chakra
Speaker 2: bag to work with individual items. So for Jasper, you
Speaker 2: can use it for grounding or protection and Carnelian to
Speaker 2: cleanse the other stones and to act as a cheerleader
Speaker 2: for yourself in anything you're going through, or to help
Speaker 2: with sexuality issues, body image issues, or creative projects. Citrine
Speaker 2: is great for confidence and stilling joy and creating abundance.
Speaker 2: Green aventurine is great for love and romance, health healing.
Speaker 2: Angelite is wonderful for working with your angels, for connecting
Speaker 2: with throat chakra issues, instilling peace, learning to communicate more
Speaker 2: authentically accurately. Sodo light is wonderful for third eye stuff,
Speaker 2: opening your intuition, trusting your intuition, and working on endurance,
Speaker 2: enduring through the goals that you're setting for yourself. An
Speaker 2: amethyst is called the all healer. It's great for connecting
Speaker 2: to the divine within you and around you, and to
Speaker 2: your higher self. So if you have a chakra bag
Speaker 2: of those seven stones, you're going to have a great
Speaker 2: foundation for learning how to meditate with stones, working with
Speaker 2: them for individual goals, and also you can use chakra
Speaker 2: stones for a reading. So for example, let's say you're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I have a question and the cards aren't really giving
Speaker 2: me a very specific answer. You can use a bag
Speaker 2: of stones and do a reading with them. Sometimes I recommend,
Speaker 2: if you do have a bag of chakra stones, that
Speaker 2: you add a black stone and a white stone, so
Speaker 2: like a snowy cortz or a black obsidian or hemid
Speaker 2: tight and then you can use those for yes no answers,
Speaker 2: and then the other stones you can use for your
Speaker 2: own intuitive interpretation. So let's say, for example, you are
Speaker 2: really not enjoying your job right now and you're thinking
Speaker 2: about leaving. You could just shake the bag and ask
Speaker 2: should I leave this job, and then just reach in
Speaker 2: and pull three stones and see. For example, if you
Speaker 2: do past, present, future, and Carnelian comes up in the past,
Speaker 2: soda light comes up in the present, and let's say
Speaker 2: green aventurine comes up in the future, Well, the Carnelian
Speaker 2: in the past could mean that in the past you
Speaker 2: really loved this job and you had a lot of
Speaker 2: passion and enthusiasm for it. Right now you kind of
Speaker 2: just have to endure it and stick with it. But
Speaker 2: the green Adventurian is showing new growth coming and so
Speaker 2: to me that would represent maybe it's time to start
Speaker 2: sending your resume out. So there's a lot of fun
Speaker 2: things you can do with crystals besides just placing them
Speaker 2: in your home or meditating with them. You can use
Speaker 2: them to work with your intuition as well.
Speaker 1: I hope that folks really will take a lot of
Speaker 1: what we've said today to heart and try working with
Speaker 1: some of the ideas that we've shared with you. I
Speaker 1: feel like we've given you a lot, so I hope
Speaker 1: we have an overwhelmed folks. One of the questions I
Speaker 1: know that we're going to get from this podcast episode
Speaker 1: is where's a reputable place to buy crystals? Samanthay, you
Speaker 1: want to make suggestions for folks what to look for
Speaker 1: in a reputable store.
Speaker 2: Sure, so, you definitely want to look at customer reviews.
Speaker 2: You want to look at the crystals and how they're described.
Speaker 2: If they're described as A grade or B grade, that's
Speaker 2: going to let you know they know a little bit
Speaker 2: more about the stones that they're talking about.
Speaker 3: You do want to strive for.
Speaker 2: An A grade or triple A grade stone. You want
Speaker 2: to look at the about section, so see do they
Speaker 2: know a lot about these stones or are they just
Speaker 2: selling any crystal out there. You want to look at
Speaker 2: their reputation online, look at the pictures, compare it to
Speaker 2: other pictures of crystals and see if they look like
Speaker 2: good quality stones. The first time you buy from a
Speaker 2: crystal store online, buy something inexpensive like under twenty dollars
Speaker 2: and get it home and see how is it packaged,
Speaker 2: what does the stone look like? Does it feel good?
Speaker 2: There are a lot of great places you can look
Speaker 2: for stones online. My personal favorite is Exquisite Crystals. They're
Speaker 2: exquisitely expensive, but not always and you know what you're
Speaker 2: getting is really really great stuff. Pointsolight dot Net is
Speaker 2: also pretty expensive, but again very high quality stones. Healing
Speaker 2: Crystals has some great stones on their website. They also
Speaker 2: have a wonderful newsletter and a lot of fun facts
Speaker 2: and information on their website. Those are just three. There
Speaker 2: are so many others out there, but just look around,
Speaker 2: check out reviews. I think it's best before you know
Speaker 2: a lot about crystal to get crystals in person. So
Speaker 2: if you have a metaphysical store in your town, if
Speaker 2: you have a crystal store in your town, obviously that's
Speaker 2: even better. But just kind of look around, get a
Speaker 2: feel for the place, the energy, the tone of the
Speaker 2: place that you're buying from, and see if it vibrates
Speaker 2: with you. Also keep in mind that crystals will find you.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how that will happen. People will just suddenly
Speaker 2: give you a stone, or you'll just suddenly be drawn
Speaker 2: to a stone and not even know why. So know
Speaker 2: that crystals. Just as much as you're looking for crystals
Speaker 2: or trying to choose one, very often a crystal will
Speaker 2: choose you. And be open to that and allow yourself
Speaker 2: to be guided to the stone that is choosing you.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely true. I should tell a story real quickly.
Speaker 1: I had gone to England. I was in a crystal
Speaker 1: store in Glastonbury and there was Lara Moore and I'd
Speaker 1: never seen it before, and I wanted to dive into it.
Speaker 3: I want it, to drink it. I wanted to cope.
Speaker 1: It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
Speaker 1: To this day, I don't think I've ever felt the
Speaker 1: way I felt about that stone. It was just an
Speaker 1: amazing connection. And so I emailed Joe, emailed him and
Speaker 1: I said, what is this rock? Why am I in love?
Speaker 1: So he sent me back information about it, and of
Speaker 1: course I realized why I loved it so much, and
Speaker 1: found it really amusing that I had to go all
Speaker 1: the way to England to find a stone that was
Speaker 1: a waterstone connected to the Dominican Republic but whatever. But
Speaker 1: it was ghastly expensive and I didn't buy it. And
Speaker 1: I came home and I told Samantha about it, and
Speaker 1: she said, oh, I know where there's a Larimer pendant.
Speaker 1: I saw it last week in this store in town.
Speaker 1: And this is a store that was opened on Sunday
Speaker 1: afternoons at one o'clock. I was at the door waiting
Speaker 1: for them to unlock the door. Then I went in
Speaker 1: and bought the necklace at Samantha had told me about.
Speaker 1: And it's one of my most wonderful possessions.
Speaker 3: So I knew.
Speaker 1: That the stone Laramar was meant for me, but I
Speaker 1: didn't know until I got home and Samantha that told
Speaker 1: me the particular setting it was in and how I
Speaker 1: got it.
Speaker 3: And so here we are, me and my Laramar. We'red buddies.
Speaker 2: I love that. Well we are at a time. I
Speaker 2: hope that you guys have enjoyed this show. Have a
