Connecting with Crystal Energy.

Apache Tear Obsidian

Question: Hello Sheila, I've recently bought a pack of 20 apache tear smal tumbled stones. Well, I have 2 questions for a matter. 1st, I was tottaly lost when i got hold of the apache tears, usually, when I get hold of a new gemstone I figure out its essence, qualities, "spirit" or "personality", and how they "fit in me" i.e. how should I treat and use and regard them, but with the apache tears I got totally clueless... Is there a link you can give me to know more about this gemstone (I´ve read it's nearly the best for grief realiving and healing)?

Snow Quartz Cluster

The second: since I started working with and knowing gemstones, they appeared like out from nowhere and being described at ads or comments by sellers like something I could use for being a better person, healthier in every sense [....] in one sentence it's the same me with a burden coming from wherever you can imagine . The bottom line is... can stones help me? should I enphasize on any kind of stone? or in any bridges I should build towards the stones I already possess? (I have a 9 pound milky quarz with large incrustations of black tourmaline on my bed table BTW)... I dont know, whatever word you can give me.

Answer: Thank you for your email. In addition to the specialized property of Apache Tears being for grieving, forgiveness and mourning, they are a type of a Obsidian. You will find a lot of information on Obsidian online and can also check out our page at http://www.idigcrystals.com/servlet/the-template/obsidian/Page.

Crystals can definitely aid you in your life's path. If you are looking for more clarity, I would suggest you working with white stones like Quartz (as you already have) or Howlite or White Agate. If you do meditations, it would help you to hold these stones. If you do not, you may do layouts, placing them at your Crown or Third Eye chakras. You may also want to keep them in your aura at all times, in your pocket or wearing as jewelry. Remember to clean, charge and program the crystals you are working with to make them more effective and align your intentions with your healing aid.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Clarity

QUESTION: Is quartz a good crystal for clarity or to sort out/realize your inner desires? I feel like i have the answers I need inside of me...but can't quite figure out what these answers are. When i do have clarity on something, i don't move forward and stay "stuck" doing the same thing i've been doing.

ANSWER: Yes, Quartz is definitely a good crystal for Clarity. You can also try Ulexite (one of my favorites because I actually can feel sucking energy when I place it on my third eye). You may also want to work with stones that help you learn from your past so you can let go and move forward like Obsidian and Petrified Wood.

CRYSTALS: Clarity & Courage

QUESTION: Hi Sheila! A belated congratulations on your one year anniversary! I have a crystal question or am looking for crystal advice i guess :) Lately i've been very stressed out and overwhelmed with work and feeling depressed, maybe because of all the stress, and feel kind of like i'm questioning everything in life, where i am, if this is the job i want, regrets about what i haven't done with my life...wanting to change and express myself but feeling "stuck" inside of myself or unsure how to express myself. Feeling kind of lost and like i'm drifting. Maybe it's all a result of the stress of work, but i feel like i can't even think straight. Are there certain crystals that would be good to help with clarity and self expression and knowing yourself? Also overcoming fear and helping to just be yourself i guess? If you have any thoughts i'd love to know if you have any ideas. I hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer! I really like the new site you and your family have :)

ANSWER: Hi dear friend, thanks for your email. It was actually only our one month anniversary of our social network! It does seem like a year though with all of the positive activity!

I was "sleeping" on your question last night and this is what came to me...It's best if you start a one month ritual like I did with the money multiplier practice. This way it will help you to focus and really ingrain the crystal energies and affirmations into your body. I "saw" you lying down with a piece of Fluorite Crystal on your Third Eye (right at your forehead), Quartz points or just one piece of Quartz at your Crown (right above your head), holding Bloodstone crystals in your hands and wearing or placing a piece of Tigers Eye at your Heart.

Fluorite is for focus and concentrating. It has a very organized and collected energy, which you need right now for your Mental Chakra, which sounds like it is in chaos. Chaotic energy leaves you feeling confused, stressed and frustrated because you can not find a way to zero in on the solution to your problems. Quartz is an energy enhancer and working with Quartz at your Crown Chakra will help to connect you to your path in this universe. Our paths are clearly laid out, but as earthly humans, we allow mundane things to distract us and make our paths a blur...

I would suggest a Fluorite Slab or any flat Fluorite that you can place on your forehead comfortably. For Quartz, I really see you working with pointed crystals, with the points pointed towards your body, allowing the universal energy to flow into your aura.

Bloodstone is a stone of courage and sacrifice. This crystal often sacrifices its own colors to its patients, so you may see a change in color if you are really lacking in this energy. It is also a great circulator of blood, detoxifying your body and organs. I see you holding Bloodstone balls or eggs in your hands. If not, you can even use small tumbled pieces, but as usual, the bigger the better. Meaning as big as you can get without it being cumbersome.

Tigers Eye is another stone of courage and confidence. It is also a great business crystal, so if you're working with problems having to do with your job, this is a great on in allowing you to come to terms with what you really want to do and then giving you this confident energy to make it happen. When doing this layout, you can have a piece of Tigers Eye on your Heart, but I also recommend wearing some Tigers Eye jewelry during the day if possible. If not, then keeping a piece in your pocket to hold when you need to.

And, of course, you will first clean, charge and program all of these crystals before use. Set a start date and commit yourself to practicing this maybe 2-5 minutes each day with a strong positive affirmation. For example, you could say "Thank you for giving me clarity of mind and the confidence to pursue my dreams" You would, of course, alter the affirmation to whatever makes sense to you. Keep repeating it mentally or out loud. You can even make other positive affirmations as you go along. Intuition will take over. Every practice session will be different. You could even start a blog on your practice. That is what helped keep me motivated on my money multiplier practice, knowing that others were waiting to hear how and what I did each day. If you don't have a blog, you can start one right on your satincrystals.ning.com profile, where there are plenty of others interested in your success!

If you have further questions, I'm happy to answer them for you!

Sheila :)

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 12/13

Weekends are prone to enjoying freedoms of life...here's what happened in my Money Multiplying practice over the weekend...Saturday, I actually did the practice mentally while surrounded by the elements of life. I felt a sort of clarity, a peace among the chaos as I went over my chakras with my crystals, friends chatting, cat pacing, traffic buzzing...

Sunday, I used my long Aventurine Aura wand again, powering the chakras with the mantra "every day in every way, I am rich and richer"...really concentrating and getting into character helps you to tune in and feel the energies you are invoking. After this ritual, I thanked the universe for all that I do have in my life. Gratitude melted through my aura and I imagined yelling 'THANK YOU!' out into the universe and it reverberated through the galaxies without me having to make a sound...
