CRYSTALS: Wand

QUESTION: Hi, how do I use the wand I got from you? Over the years I've only it kept it at my bedside and today I just held it...but forgot its purpose...for the first time in a very long time, it feels amazing ;)

ANSWER: Ah, you have the Amethyst Chakra Generator wand. there are many ways you can use it:

1. Accupressure with the tip
2. Massage with the rounded end
3. Opening the chakras with the tip (energy healing)
4. Scanning the aura for spiritual energy
5. Hold during manifestations or meditation
6. Keep in your spiritual corner

First, you will want to clean, charge and program the wand for whatever you want to do specifically. All this information can be found at http://www.satincrystals.com/servlet/the-template/crystalhealingcare/Page you may have already done this, but if you dont' remember, I would do it again. Especially if you have had the wand lying around unused for a while!

Amethyst is for spiritual energies, to raise your vibrations and anything to do with the head - headaches, insomnia, nightmares. Along with breaking addictions and helping you into a meditative state.

Sheila :)

ARTIST: Katy Atchison

An interview with fellow SF Etsy Artist

How do you feel when you are starting a new project?
Excited! I’m wildly animated about some of my work. When I get an idea...even if I’m at work...I have to sketch it out. `

Then, I’ll think of little captions and I’ll giggle to myself when I think of something really funny that I know will transfer well into a piece of art.

Lately I've been doing a lot more hand drawn art and reproducing the art for cards and printed material. It's been exciting to see some of my art translate into a greeting card.
here are a couple links to feature:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/61006615/fun-and-colorful-greeting-cards-set-of-5?ref=em

http://www.etsy.com/listing/63882950/giraffe-birthday-blank-greeting-card


2. What do you do for marketing your products?
I for SURE don’t do it alone!

Local businesses in San Francisco have embraced my art, and over the last few years my art has been up on a regular bases because of three shops that really believed in my art & crafts and wanted to feature me in their store. It’s inspiring and exciting to know that there are so many small businesses out there offering artisans the chance to showcase their art. I think you’ll find that the most hip of clothing stores and restaurants have teamed up with a local artists. And it’s not hard! - all you have to do to get in...is put yourself out there...they help you market – you help them market their store and everyone wins...even the customer! Because they end up with something that unique and original!

The shops that support me are listed here on my Facebook Group Page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=58486273605

Additionally, I’m usually in at least one show a month here in San Francisco...so I mostly market those shows or events via Facebook Invites to my fans or by posting flyers about shows around my office.

I started creating Facebook contests to try and get some more fans of my art through social networking...

It’s always exciting when the winner receives their art in the mail and gets really excited about it. I love getting the thank you cards and the emails of excitement.

3. How did creativity play a role in you childhood?
My dad was a production potter when I was growing up and my mother did a lot of woven textile crafts that we sold at craft shows on weekends. There was always something creative happening when my sister and I were growing up and it was definitely a team effort.
Some nights, my dad would be making pottery at the wheel, my mom would be sponging pots and my sister and I would be working on loading a kiln for a show coming up the next weekend.

Also, my Grandmother Atchison, who just recently passed away, was a very well respected decorative painter. She taught adult classes in the East Bay when I was little and also sold her things at local businesses. Her painting studio was something I coveted. I remember just wanting to get lost in there – like a kid in a candy store.

It was at 8 that I finally KNEW that I was going to be an artist when I grew up...later, I decided to develop a career in Graphic Design and do my art on the side. The balance is working for me right now. I’m challenged at work and I’m able to make art for the fun of it. I’m able to use my skills as a Graphic Designer in my artwork also. It’s a creative path that has made me feel really fulfilled and happy.

Art is in my blood and on my mind literally all day everyday.

4. What kinds of projects do you work on during your craft nights in your studio?

Craft Nights! Ooooo! So so so fun!

Well, now that you have my background...it’s probably clear that I can pretty much do anything crafty. I’m still a little “beginner” at knitting...but my craft nights tend to be more a grouping of artists who want to sit and gossip about life’s little challenges more than they are about a certain craft project.

I have a 5’ x 7‘ closet in my apartment that is filled literally to the top with art supplies. People who know of this little gem sometimes come just to look at my “stuff” in there and tinker around for a while with my vintage button collection or my features. :) I try to do a small project during that time that won’t take up too much space and won’t take longer than 2 hours to make.

Sometimes, I’ll even have cooking classes. I had a class at my space that was about how to make mini-pies in mason jars. It was SO fun and we all left with a few pies to bake at home. People still talk about that one.

5. How would you feel if art was suddenly banned from your life?

Well, I’d wonder why the world wanted to be so boring first...then I’d probably cry a bit. *tears (sad face)

CRYSTALS: Magnetic

QUESTION:Hi, i bought some tiger's eye beads at a crystal show and i'm wondering if they're real. Are they supposed to stick to magnets?

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for email. tigers Eye is not magnetic. It is a form of Quartz. however, if you have Tiger Iron (a combination stone of red Jasper, brown tigers eye and metallic Hematite) which is Hematite-rich, it may be slightly magnetic.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Soulmate

QUESTION: Hi Satin Crystals, just to let you know that I've received the crystal in good condition Thanks alot :)

If you don't mind to share, what makes you think this is a soulmate crystal when we're not sure if they grow with same height?or perhaps you know its same height before it was cut off?

ANSWER: Hello, the crystals do not need to be exactly the same length and base to be soul mates, they just need to be side by side in alignment. Two crystals with same base growing together are known as tantric twins. Below is more information on soul mates (a LOT more information can be found using Google Search). Hope it helps!!! -Lisa Satin

Two quartz crystals of equal length and size growing side-by-side are Soul Mate Crystals. The crystals do not need to be perfectly aligned side-by-side so long as they are of equal length and size. In other words one can be standing on slightly lower ground than the other, but they are both really the same length.

While a soul mate is generally defined as someone who will be the “love of your life”, we all have several soul mates not just one, and soul mates are not always connected (in human terms) through loving relationships. A soul mate is anyone with whom you have an unshakable deep connection at the soul level and is an entity who loves you so deeply and strongly that he/she will do whatever is necessary to facilitate and promote your spiritual growth. Most of us know by now that this is not necessarily a pleasant experience, although it is always a productive one.

In some systems of belief, a soul mate is one-half of a whole unit of consciousness who split itself into two for specific spiritual evolutionary purposes, while other systems support the belief that you have literally hundreds, even thousands, of soul mates. But no matter which of these two beliefs are
yours, your Soul Mate Crystal will help you focus on connecting with a soul mate, someone that will be helpful in your life and growth at the time.

Soul Mate Crystals are excellent meditation and Dream Stones, helping you to get in contact with and begin to integrate your various selves so you may ultimately reunite with you Essence of Soul (especially when used with Halite.)

CRYSTALS: Cancer

QUESTION: hey, I've been jewelry arting lately, on the hustle in Miami beach, I have a friend here with cancer and wanna ask u what would be good for her,lots of lov 2u crystal queen

ANSWER: Hello friend, this is a very common question we get these days. Cancer seems to be the disease of the generation. Energetically speaking, cancer comes about through much held anger, hatred or grudges. To release this pent up enery and bring forgiveness, many practitioners have found much success using Selenite Crystals. Besides being a very spiritual stone, Selenite aids in cell regeneration and sealing the aura from energy leaks. She will also want to use Obsidian, a great one to let go of the past. Pair these with Rose Quartz for a soft, forgiving energy.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Nurses

QUESTION: What's a good stone to carry around for someone working in hospitals? Looking for gift ideas for nurses.

ANSWER: Hi, we have many people who come in seeking to protect tthemselves from illnesses and sicknesses that surround them. We always recommend Rainbow Obsidian.

Many nurses like to wear pendants or bracelets of Rainbow Obsidian so that they don't absorb the patients' negativity.

If you need help finding Rainbow Obsidian pieces, we do have some on our website at www.satincrystals.com and can make custom items as well.

CRYSTALS: Coloring

QUESTION: Hello, You write in the article description that this stone is peach. In the photo it looks pretty much creamy white with a silver sheen / shimmer, but then photos on a computer often can't show colours that exactly. So I wanted to ask what you mean by peach - that colour can go into an orange or a pink direction (if both were toned down to pastels). Which is it, if any, in this case? I hope you understand what I mean. English is a foreign language to me and describing colours isn't the easiest thing anyway.

I also wanted to ask: Is this the sphere you are selling as MOONSTONE BALL 3" Crystal Healing Reiki Energy Sphere 06 in your own store? If so, is there any difference regarding the shipping fee if one buys directly or through ebay? Thank you in advance for your help.

ANSWER: You are correct; sometimes the camera can not capture the true brilliance of the crystals. This type of creamy white Moonstone is what we call peach as opposed to a little redder one that we would call Pink or a totally white one with blue sheen which would be a Rainbow Moonstone. The colors on the listing are pretty accurate. In reality the stone is a bit more peach in color. So, I would say that creamy white is a good description, running more towards the tan/beige coloring than any bright orange or pink. I hope that helps a little! The brilliant sheen can be seen on two opposite sides of the sphere.

All of our ebay items are also in our online store at www.satincrystals.com. The shipping costs will be the same. However, on our online store you will be able to use any discount codes you may have received with previous orders, through our mailing list or ones we list on the front page of our website.

If you have any further questions, we are happy to answer them at satincrystals@gmail.com

CRYSTALS: Upsetting

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, Lisa, and Ann, I have a crystal question i hope you can help me with. Someone told me that if you have a strong reaction to a crystal, like if you use a crystal and it brings up uncomfortable emotion, it means that you are in need of healing that specific crystal can offer. When i heard this, it made me think of an experience I had last year with rhodochrosite i didn't understand.

When i would use this crystal, afterward I felt very irritable and angry. I started speaking up and starting fights in my relationship. I was confused because as a crystal that helped with love and the heart, why was i getting so upset each time i used it? But i can see now, all the emotion that was brought up helped me to speak up about things that were bothering me. I have been afraid to use it ever since, because i didn't want to feel those emotions again...but now i wonder if maybe it was actually helping me to heal my heart by helping me face things in my life that were bothering me deep down. Months later, we ended that relationship and i see this was this ending was the best thing for me. I wondered, was it all in my head that every time i used the rhodochrosite i felt upset, was it just not a good crystal for me, but now i wonder if it was bringing me healing by bringing up the emotions.

If you have any thoughts, please let me know.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for writing! You are correct, some crystals can bring out stuff that you didn't want to deal with at a certain time. For example, Malachite is a power stone that will bring up past emotional trauma. It is so strong some people need to counter it with the calming energies of Rose Quartz. Both are heart chakra stones, but with different wavelengths. These blockages will be released when you are ready for it and crystals will definitely aid in this cleansing. Sometimes you are not ready to face the past and you may leave a crystal for a while, like you did with your Rhodochrosite (pictured). When you are ready (perhaps now that you are looking back and making some realizations!), you will be drawn to it again. Everybody goes at their own pace!

Sheila!

CRYSTALS: Lumps

QUESTION: Hi ladies, I have another healing question. The advice you gave me for my Asthma has been a great help. I have a lump in the armpit. I have had the breast removed and an implant inserted twice due to problems. Can you advise as to which crystal/s I can use to reduce the lump. I have been doing Reiki on the area. I would be grateful you could advise me. I dont want anymore surgery. Kind Regards.

ANSWER: Thank you for your question. I am very happy to hear that our crystal healing advice regarding your asthma has been beneficial to you.

Lumps that show up in our physical body are often caused by an energy blockage. Your body wants to detoxify itself and somehow things get blocked up as a result of poor circulation. A good crystal to help the body detoxify naturally is SERPENTINE. If there is inflammation, a good crystal to reduce any swelling is APACHE TEAR OBSIDIAN.

If you need any help finding these crystals, let us know!

Sincerely,

Sheila Satin

ADVICE: Sage Space

QUESTION: Sheila, I love sage. Do you think it would work for me? I don't think I have bad spirits around me, just bad energy. I guess all in the same time what's the difference. so maybe I should get some of this stuff when i come up to your store.

ANSWER: Yes, sage will definitely help to change the energies of your space. I used to not like the smell of sage, but I got accustomed to it working at the store and I do feel a difference energetically. Every time someone who has some unwanted energies walks into our store, we quickly pull out the sage after they leave to purify the energies to a peaceful one again! Many customers comment on the calm energies of our store, so it's really effective in keeping the peace!

You can purchase some from our store or on our online store!

CRYSTALS: New Apt

QUESTION: I might have to purchase some more "balancing crystals"! ;) actually, what's that stuff called that you're supposed to lite around the house to dispel bad spirits?

ANSWER: HI, we have a wonderful supply of balancing crystals! To light around the house to dispel bad energy, use sage. we have them for $12 for large bundles here and 10% off if you buy online with the code "FALL2010" right now :) You should DEFINITELY energetically clean out your home before you move into it! I do that before every apartment move and it's definitely been good energy living in all of the past places.

CRYSTALS: Walking

Pay attention to your walk. Are you stepping in the very center of your soles? Are your shoes grinding down on the payment evenly? The way you walk tells you a great deal about your state of balance, physically and energetically!

If you find yourself a bit off balance, leaning a bit too much to the right, grinding the outer edges of your heels...you are in need of some balancing crystals!

CRYSTALS: Color Variation

QUESTION: Hello, I find your products interesting. I have a question about the following product: Citrine Pyramid
http://www.satincrystals.com/servlet/the-1371/CITRINE-PYRAMID-5.6%22-Yellow/Detail
Why do some pictures of the same product show it as a bright bright yellow and others barely yellow with a lot of white?

ANSWER: Thanks for your interest in the citrine pyramid. We have photographed the pyramid from all 4 sides. Two of the sides have more white, and the other two are largely golden.

The piece is beautiful! If you would like to purchase it then you may do so directly through our website www.satincrystals.com or you can call us with a credit card at 415-776-7446, Tues-Sat 12-6pm PST.

Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you!

CRYSTALS: TV

QUESTION: When lying with crystals on pancreas, is okay to watch TV, or read?

Also, I have a large rose quartz on the floor beside the TV. Is this a problem either because of emanations or the TV programs?

Once again, thank you.

ANSWER: Hello, thank you again for your email. When lying with crystals, it is okay to be engaged in other activities as long as you have programmed your intention for the crystal to be activated for your healing purposes. However, focusing on the crystal and doing visualization is much more powerful in the healing process. Both methods can have their advantage.

Many people place large Rose Quartz in a home to help to calm the energies in a room, especially if there are noisy neighbors or a stressful environment. Placing Quartz by sources of radiation, like the TV can be helpful in protecting yourself from harmful energies, so it is definitely a beneficial location for your Rose Quartz.

Sincerely,

CRYSTALS: Guidance

QUESTION: Hello, I was referred to you by my aunt, who has had great experience with you in the past, when you were based in Orange County.

My friend has been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer, and will be undergoing a mastectomy this week. She'll have all the medicine she needs, however, I would like to find out about some recommendations for crystals I may purchase which focus on the healing of the body.

Just wanted to check to make sure you are open tomorrow at 12? I assume someone would be able to provide a little guidance for some things I may purchase for her?
Thank you for your help.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email. Our store hours are Tues-Saturday 12-6pm. We are very happy to guide you in your crystal selection at the store or online. You can always email us at satincrystals@gmail.com

CRYSTALS: Doubleterminators

DoubleTerminators are on double duty, transmitting and receiving universal energy through each pointed end! Whereas a single pointed crystal will focus the energy either in or out, doubleterminators can do the job both ways!

CRYSTALS: Self Cleanse

QUESTION: Where and how can I learn to self cleanse myself. I don't see any healing crystal services in my area. I would appreciate your advice.

ANSWER: Thank you for your question. If you live in an area where energy healers are not readily available, you can work with the crystals on yourself. As demonstrated by our friend above, you can do a crystal healing layout with flat crystals. In this case she is using crystals that correspond to the chakras to open and balance the energy blockages of the chakras.

If you have a crystal wand, you can scan it over your aura (your energy body), sweeping your aura as if you would for another person. The most effective way to clean your own energy body is to hold and meditate or visualize with your crystals in your hand - smooth spheres and eggs are great for this purpose!

After your self-healing sessions you will want to carry the smaller tumbled stones or wear crystal jewelry with you as a reminder of your focus throughout the day.

You can find a lot of information if you visit our website at www.satincrystals.com and click on the "CRYSTAL FAQ's" tab at the top of the page. You will also find videos on how to use the crystlas.

If you have any specific questions, please email us again! There is a lot to learn!

ADVICE: Passion

"Even though there were a bunch of things that I thought I “should” be doing, I knew that only focusing on the stuff I loved doing was the way to go." From "I Quit My Job, ARe you Next".

CRYSTALS: Depression

QUESTION: I sleep little, eat little, very sad most of the time. What do you do for the sadness, the loneliness?

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your question. You need to replace those feelings of loss with love. Self-love energy is brought to your aura with stones like Rose Quartz or Rhodonite. Apache Tear Obsidians may also help you deal with the "mourning". When my father passed on from this world, my family held on to Apache Tear obsidian stones.

Program these crystals for filling your heart with positive energy.

Realize that this is a lesson you have come to Earth to learn, and once you get through it, you will be stronger.

Even the act of being proactive will start to get you out of your rut, inch by inch.

Another option you may want to consider is going in to see a crystal healer. They can really open up your blockages. I have seen many clients who come in for depression and find that all of their chakras are at a standstill. Working with the crystals can really get the energies to flow again.

CRYSTALS: Healing Session

Living in our hectic lives, we need constant energy cleansings. Crystal Healing Therapy sessions can unblock the energies that have stagnated as a result of whatever situations you are facing. I recommend chakra and aura cleansing at least once a month. Whether you are working on yourself or seeing a healer, the ultimate goal of these healings is for you to be balanced enough to face any situation and come out unaffected!

CRYSTALS: Charoite

Charoite is often called a 'stone of transformation' as well as a stone of power. In particular it transforms negative emotions such as anger and fear into positive feelings. As a part of the transformation process it allows release of those negative emotions, so one can change and move forward. It is a stone of creativity, bringing spiritual growth and possibility. Helps release one from victimization, and enhances courage. It is used in spiritual work for entity release, rescue work, and prophesy.

QUESTION: Hi, I am beginning a gemstone/chakra medicine class in SF this weekend that requires me to have charoite. I see that you have the CHAROITE SLAB 5" Purple Superman Spiritual Crystal 01 listed on the website and just wanted to ensure that you have the stone available. If so, I would like to come pick it up on Saturday morning. I don't live in the city and drove in from Santa Rosa this past Saturday only to find a sign on the door saying closed for the weekend. I prefer to see/feel the stones over ordering them online. There are other stones that I need for later on in the class that I am interested in seeing, but this one I need for Saturday. Can you please confirm that you have the stone in stock. Thanks.

ANSWER: Hello, thanks for your email. We do have this 5"slab available as of now and it is the only piece if chariot currently in stock. We are open regular hours now Tuesday to Saturday 12-6pm.

Sincerely,
Sheila satin

p.s. We are also open by appointment for buyers and healing sessions.

CRYSTALS: Independence

QUESTION: I just got out of a long term relationship and I am feeling lost. Can crystals help me?

ANSWER: Hi, crystals can definitely aid you in finding yourself again. You need to fill those voids that your breakup has left you. Positive crystal energy is great. You can place the crystals over your chakras, wear them or hold them when needed. You will regain your individuality and who you were as a person before the relationship and who you are now. Often times we lose ourselves to co-dependencies in relationships and that's how we become soooo off-balance when the relationship ends. Re-train your mind and your thoughts to thinking in "I"...if your mind wanders to feeling sorry for yourself, tell it a positive affirmation instead. I am strong, I am free, I am...whatever words make you feel comfortable. It is similar to training our minds to think positively, to get out of negative, self-defeating thoughts and becoming an optimistic person.

Yellow and orange crystals bring personal strength - like Citrine, Tigers Eye, Carnelian and Golden Calcite. Use these at the Solar Plexus (right above your navel).

CRYSTALS: Meditation

QUESTION: I am having a really hard time sitting for meditation.

ANSWER: That's okay, meditation doesn't have to be about sitting still. Personally, I can't meditate that way either.

Meditation is anything that allows your mind to be in the moment - so whatever your hobbies are or anything healthy that you enjoy doing - walking, working out, dancing, yoga, lying down, daydreaming. For me, making jewelry with crystals is a form of meditation.

Even if you can't sit still for meditation, crystals can help your mind to focus on your objective. Some crystals that are useful for meditation are Amethyst, Lapis, Moonstone and Howlite. Of course any healing crystal can be used to program for meditation!

You may also want to try Group Meditation. We have a weekly Crystal Healing Manifestation Group meditation at Satin Crystals which is guided, so that your mind has someone calming voice to follow. If you can't make it to meditations with us, we also sell CD's of the session, just inquire!
