Wearing vs Placing Crystals

Quartz Merkaba Pendant can be worn or placed

Question: Does it matter if you wear the crystals or just have loose crystals in your home?

Answer: Hi, thanks for your question. It depends on what you want to accomplish. It is always best to have crystals with you throughout the day if it is for personal healing. If you want a certain energy for the home, I would place them around your house. If you are very self-motivated, you can keep a set at home to do layouts or meditations with, otherwise it's easier to wear with you through jewelry form or carry with you like tumbled stones in your pockets.

EVENT: OMG Malachite

This week we added Malachite to our Oakland Metaphysical Group’s practice. Together with the grounding effects of Tigers Eye, Malachite stirred up the energies in our hearts. For some it was too much, for others it was not enough...

Malachite is a beautiful, green-banded stone which is an altered form of copper. Malachite occurs when copper reacts with carbonated water or limestone. More water in the copper makes the green lighter; less water in the copper makes the green darker. The black bands of Malachite are ones that formed without water.

The weathered green you see on copper roofs is a form of Malachite. Bronze objects partially or wholly converted into malachite have been found at ancient Assyrian sites.

Malachite is a 3.5 - 4 on Mohs Scale of Hardness, a relatively soft stone, easily scratched. It is the same hardness as Calcite or Fluorite. Protect it from temperature changes & prolonged sunshine.

Zaire is a popular country for Malachite, but it is also found in many other places around the world.

Energetically:

• Malachite is also known as the POWER STONE.
• It has a strong, aggressive energy, effective in releasing trapped emotions and bringing change to those who are ready for it
• Working with Malachite can be a draining experience as it clears out your aura of negative experiences.
• Malachite breaks unwanted ties and bad habits
• It helps you to become more independent and responsible for your own actions
• It releases inhibitions and encourages expressing feelings
• Malachite is great in releasing psychosomatic problems developed in this life or past lives.
• It restores our ability to breathe deeply.
• You may want to counter the energy of Malachite with gentle energies of soothing stones like Rose Quartz
• Malachite enhances negative and positive energies, so it is only recommended for use on mellow, yin energy people or in balance with a softer stone
• For those who are balanced, confident and optimistic, Malachite will increase these energies

NOTES: Cleaning – do not use salt which will scratch the surface.

Malachite dust can be toxic if inhaled in excess.

Do not drink gem elixirs used from the raw material.

It may cause slight heart palpitations, if you are feeling uncomfortable, remove it immediately and replace it with a gentler stone.

If you are in the San Francisco Bay area, our Oakland Metaphysical Group meets every Monday from 6:30-7pm, feel free to email me at sheila@idigcrystals.com to join.

To obtain your own Malachite stones or have a jewelry piece custom designed, come to our store in San Francisco: Satin Crystals, 1718a Polk Street, San Francisco, California or visit us online at http://stores.ebay.com/satincrystals.

EVENT: OMG

Hi Everyone, thanks to those who joined us last Monday for the Tigers Eye crystal meditations. We did our grounding meditation to connect with physical energy and to this present reality. Then, we did our crystal meditation, imagining that we were inside our stones. This is all for relaxation, focus and enjoying the present moment.

Next Monday we are adding on MALACHITE crystals. This is a deep green, banded crystal which is popularly used to release emotional traumas of the heart. The Heart and relationship is something that most all of us are in desperate need of strengthening.

If you do not have your own stones, I will provide them for yo to use free in the session. Additionally, if you like any crystals that we use in our sessions, you are welcome to purchase them from us at a student discount. We are also all contributing our loose change to a donation box that we will decide what to do with at the end of the year!

RSVP if you are coming this Monday 6:30 sharp to 7pm.

I will go over the properties of Tigers Eye again and explain Malachite. If you have anything to add, you are most welcome.

We will be doing a grounding exercise standing up and then we will be doing a layout, so please bring yoga mats or something for you to LIE DOWN on!

You do not need to know anything about crystals to join us. Just be open minded and ready to enter a world of imagination and relaxation. Friends welcome.

CRYSTALS: Layouts

Another popular way to use your tumbled stones and small crystal points is to lie in "Crystal Layouts". There are an endless number of layouts you can create for all kinds of healing energies. The picture above shows the layout for Headache Relief.

Basically, you lay the appropriate stones and points around and on your body as you lie in the "energy grid" for a few minutes. This can be done just once to achieve the desired effect or daily!

There are specific layouts you can find online, in published books or take a class with us at Satin Crystals to practice and familiarize yourself with the benefits of crystal layouts!
