CRYSTALS: Parasites

QUESTION: Hi Sheila,Would you check on what would be an ideal gemstone to help clear parasites and infection. This is for a friend of mine who's husband has been dealing with parasites and lung infection of a long time now. He is currently out of the hospital and at home. She is an amazing healer in her own right, however, she's at a loss. Our healing Circle sends her husband distance healing as he's too volatile to be around direclty. He is easily aggitated. She has determined that he has parasites in his brain. Any healing thoughts and energy you could send her way would be appreciated as well.

ANSWER: I would definitely go with green Serpentine. This stone is specifically for detoxifying the body of parasites. If you are dealing with the brain, I would pair Serpentine with Quartz, a great stone for mental balance and enhanciing other crystals. Please let me know if you need help finding either of these. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Unfog Brain

QUESTION: In the case of memory loss, would clear crystal be better rather than, say, rutilated or one of the colors such as rose or citrine? thanks a bunch.

ANSWER: In this case, I would definitely recommend clear crystals to unfog the energy that has been jumbled up in the brain. Other crystals can be used as a complementary energy, but I would definitely focus on the clear stones for working with the brain!

CRYSTALS: Brain

QUESTION: Hi Sheila. I'm trying to help a friend who has memory problems. His doctors have said he does not have alzeimer's, frontal lobe amnesia and has not had a stroke. The docs say a portion of his brain has ceased functioning. He is having problems with numbers and some language, does not remember how to use a computer keyboard (he made his living as a technical writer for many years) and little short term memory. On the other side, he's pretty happy, amazingly; has a good kind heart and is in good physical health. So far, he can take care of himself pretty well. I just try to keep an eye on making sure he takes medicine, exercises , eats and does some spiritual practice. His teacher recommended he focus on breathing practice and mantra. And that seems to work well. What would you suggest in terms of particular stones and patterns for brain healing and, I would guess, re-activation? i have used various crystals and lapis, selenite, albite and some others. I am a Reiki Jin Kei Do/Buddho master and use that as well. He has a real connection to tiger eye and has a couple of spheres, some tumbled stones and a mala of tiger eye. We're open to suggestions, thoughts, ideas. thanks a lot.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your question. I would definitely recommend Quartz for your friend's brain functions. This is the crystal for enhancing mental energy, a mental massager if you will! It will help to balance the right and left brains. You can use it in conjunction with Tigers Eye or any other of the crystals he has an affinity to, but definitely use as much Quartz as will allow in your healing practices.

Additionally, Sodalite and Lapis are also great mental stimulators. A combination of these stones will surely get his energies on the right track!
