CRYSTALS: Iolite

QUESTION: Hi, I have a question for you about Iolite. I used this crystal for the first time during a class for finding your inner goddess. Each week we focus on a different chakra along with yoga and have crystals that correspond to that chakra.

Since using Iolite on the third eye, I've felt very emotional, crying, kind of like a roller coaster ride. Very anxious, i feel like i have so much emotion that is coming out, and right now feel very depressed , worried, upset...but maybe this is releasing of old emotions? I feel very overwhelmed by these emotions. One of the healers at the class mentioned that sometimes when you open the third eye, you can open it too much and things come in a flood. I'm not sure if that might be what's happening?

ANSWER: HI, thanks for your question. I have heard similar stories with Malachite at the heart. I always suggest those who are feeling a strong emotional release to counterbalance the aggressive crystals with something softer. For Malachite, I suggest Rose Quartz. For you I would suggest Angelite or Celestite since you are working with the third eye. If these emotions are something you are not ready to deal with right now, I would stop using the Iolite for a while and calm the emotions at the Solar Plexus with Moonstone.

When you are ready to deal with the emotions, it is going to come out and you will have to face them, but in the end, you will come out much stronger and your mind will be very clear. But, everyone has go on their own pace!

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: Bitter Heart

QUESTION: Hi - I have purchased stones from you recently, I wanted to know what YOU would recommend as a healer. I am going through a very bitter divorce and one of my children has moved out of my house which has left me broken hearted, bitter, hateful, the list goes on. What would you recommend for me - I have been using rose quartz, amethyst and crystals - not finding much release. I also use obsidian to block negative thoughts coming my way. I would love your suggestion.

ANSWER: Hello, thank you for your email and your purchases. I highly suggest using Malachite for such strong emotions you are feeling. Malachite is a power stone used for releasing such harsh emotions and eventually bringing forgiveness. I recently suggested the same to a friend who went through a bad relationship, and she is now starting to feel the positive effects of the power stone! But beware, that this is a very intense crystal which can bring up all of those negative emotions at once. You may feel out of balance for a while as the emotions are being released, so don't fear, just let it take its course. I would also suggest using Rose Quartz and Aventurine to alleviate some of this intense energy release.

So, clean, charge and program Malachite as you would any stone and then place it over your heart while lying down, imagining all those negative emotions being drawn out by the crystal. Let your mind "re-live" these emotions up to 3 times, and then let them go. You may still feel them, but try to look at it from a "third person" point of view, sort of like a movie. Your healing will take as long as your own mind's willingness to let go, but Malachite will be a powerful aid in the process. While not doing direct healing work, I would suggest wearing a Malachite pendant or necklace.

For me, Obsidian is a bit more protective of outside forces. For your own negative thoughts, I would suggest Apache Tears, which are also great in releiving grief and bringing forgiveness.

Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you. Please know that we are always hear to help you with your crystal healing related questions.

CRYSTALS: Constipation

Releasing emotional (which in turn causes physical) constipation is a matter of focusing in on the stomach area, also known as the Solar Plexus Chakra. This is our emotional centers. When we feel emotions, we feel them here "in the pit of our stomach"....when there is an energy blockage here, you will feel frustrated, congested, like the world is squeezing in around you.

You may have heard of the increasingly popular "stomach massage" used by energy masseurs to release tension in this area. You can achieve a similar effect on your own by using Fluorite crystals. Fluorite is great for digestion, calming the nerves and healing of the Solar Plexus chakra. I use a Fluorite Massage Wand, it is smooth and you can roll it over the stomach like a rolling pin. Other crystals and shapes can be used as well as long as you clean, charge and program the crystal for relieving the congestion in your Solar Plexus area.

Ultimately, we want to achieve a balanced emotional state, and this starts with opening up the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy that lies around and within our stomach.
