Crystal Healing for the Knees

Apatite Bracelet

QUESTION: Hey Sheila!!  Just stumbled on your blog… was looking for any info on best stones for the knees. Thanks.

ANSWER: For crystals for the knees, I would highly recommend Apatite, Malachite and Mochi Balls. Apatite is a blue-green stone that can be found raw, tumbled or bead form, it is a little more rare than your common stones. Malachite is a popular stone for strengthening joints. It is banded green and comes in many forms. It is a soft stone, so the beads are pricey because they easily break when manipulated. Mochi Balls are rough sandstone type clusters which are found in natural form. You will not easily find beads in this stone. This is a great stone for bones and joints as well.

If you need any other information, feel free to email me!

Sincerely,

Relieve that shoulder pain

Question: Hi, my husband is having a lot of shoulder pain. I read about healing qualities of Larimar. What do you think?


Answer: Hi, your husband's shoulder pain, we have found Mochi Balls very useful for muscle and joint pains. Also, Malachite is also popular for joint pains. As for Larimar, I haven't worked with it or heard about others using it for joints, but yes, reading about Larimar, it is said to draw out the pain in a gentle manner. I imagine it is akin to Jasper, a more slow working stone, but used over time it is very nurturing. If you do end up using Larimar, let me know the progress!

CRYSTALS: Joint Disease

QUESTION: Dear Sheila, I have been a customer of yours for the past few years. I'm 50 yrs old, slim build and 5'11". Have always been healthy and active. I have recently been diagnosed with a debilitating joint disease called Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton. The name for the disorder is derived from the Greek root "ankylos", which means bent or crooked and "spondylos", which refers to a vertebra. The term "ankylosis" therefore refers to a fibrous or bony bridging of joints.

My symptoms consist of low back pain, buttocks pain, stooped posture, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain with limited mobility, and the most irritable symptom, fatigue.

I have many crystals but would like to know which ones you'd recommend.

I've changed my diet and am taking alot of vitamins & minerals. My MD just started me on Cymbalta to help with anxiety, pain and energy. I "hate" taking it and am on my 5th day of which it would take a month to start working. My whole being is saying not to take it, so what do I do, I take it. I'm just leery of "brain altering chemicals" and dont want to lose my "clarity" and sense of self if you know what mean.

Any suggestions you can offer, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly,
Blessings.

ANSWER:
Hi, thank you for writing to us. First, let me say that you have the right state of mind in wanting to heal yourself without the chemical pills. Keep faith in those positive thoughts and you will be better in no time. Don't let "diagnosis" dictate your life. You are in control of you own destiny and if you want to live healthy for many years to come, it is up to you to make that happen!

That being said, I can recommend a few different crystals that have worked for other clients of ours. Of course, you may want to experiment and find the ones that will work best for you. LIke crystal healing books, we can guide you, but in the end, each one of us has different wavelenghts and will correspond to different crystals differently.

Lower Back Pain - place large pieces or several tumbled stones of Carnelian in the lower back region while lying down. Bones and Joints - use Mochi Balls (we have had the best results with these for those with bones, arthritis problems) by rubbing the affected areas and/or Malachite over the joints. Fatigue - Labradorite is a very motivational stone, used common in the athletic realm for endurance and Red Jasper for physical energy. Jasper also nurtures you in times of stress and illness. Of course, the Master Healer, Quartz is always effective in amplifying your energies and can be great in giving you strength, energetically and physically.

Please let us know how these crystals work for you! If you need any other advice or general support, we are just an email (or store visit) away!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Joint Pain

QUESTION: What crystal would you recommend for joint pain, and how should I prepare it? I’m going to give this a try.


ANSWER: Resolving to give it a try is the first step to regaining control of your own health. There are several crystals effective for joint pain. I would recommend using Selenite to relieve any pains followed by Mochi Balls to strengthen the bones.


Selenite you can use any form that is comfortable for you to hold or place on the affected area. For example, a client of mine had sprained his wrist, which was wrapped in bandages, so we swept the energy around his wrist with a Selenite wand. We then inserted a thin Selenite wand inside of the bandages, and whenever he could, he would place the crystal there to relieve the pain.

It may be helpful to imagine the pain as the color red; the color of our body in the physical world. Imagine Selenite as the healing white light of the universe, absorbing and melting away this red pain.

Selenite may be all you need. If not, proceed with Mochi Balls. Mochi Balls are rich Hematite concretions also known as Shaman Stones. These have been much sought after stones by my clients who have arthritis. They rub it over their weakened bones to strengthen the energy, grounding it back to the core of the earth. In this case, it's easy to imagine the bones/joints hardening and strengthening like the solid brown Mochi Ball.




Another client of mine used these two crystals to strengthen her knees after knee surgery. She's been dancing well before doctor-prescribed time!

You may use any form of Selenite you choose - wand, slab, heart, eggs, balls. Mochi Balls come in only one form. Selenite will absorb in water, so choose another cleaning method for this crystal. Clean, charge and program the crystals before using!

Again, time and frequency will be up to your intuition (your trust in your own instincts), how long you have had the pain and how strong is your willpower to heal. Main thing is, don't worry about it, just begin...

Sheila Satin
