Protection Crystals

Question: Hello, I am working with people in the social work industry and i seem to pick up lot of heavy/confused/negative energies which drains me. Just wondering what types of crystals i could wear to protect or shield myself from absorbing such energies? Thanks.

Answer: Hi, thank you for your email. We have an article on our website regarding Protection Crystals. Here is the link: http://www.idigcrystals.com/info/I_Dig_Crystals_Protection?ref=Protection%20Healing%20Crystals

and here is the copy of it:

Crystals for Protection

Many times in life, we need some extra protection, whether it be from our own negative thoughts, outside dangers, violence, evil entities or foul neighbors. Here are some popular crystals you can program for protection.


Here are some popular crystals used for protection:

• Jet: this lightweight fossilized charcoal wood has long been used as a talisman against violence. If you are out on the streets or in an abusive relationship, program a Jet stone. Because of its weight, it is easy to carry with you or wear a large chunk.
• Pyrite: also known as fool's gold comes in a metallic silver to gold. Pyrite is great in deflecting unwanted energies. It is very popular in gridding your house or space to keep out negative influences. Place Pyrite crystals in each corner of the room, bed, car, office or whatever space needs protection.
• Obsidian: is one of our most popular crystals in transmuted negative energy to positive. Snowflake Obsidian is a great crystal in purifying negative thoughts to positive. Rainbow Obsidian brings in joy and helps to let go of the past, protecting your aura of depressing tension.
• Turquoise & Moonstone: are both known travelers stones. Carry these with you during your journeys to protect against unknown dangers.
• Black Tourmaline & Black Onyx: help to ground you to earth, thus protecting you during astral travels and contact with other entities.
• Carnelian: protects against psychic attacks. These can be negative thoughts that are sent to you, consciously or subconsciously. Wear Carnelian to bounce this energy back to the attacker.
• Lepidolite & Smoky Quartz: counteract the negative influences of radiation. Place these near your computer, tv, microwave and cell phones so not to be drained by the electrical forces.

If you need any other help in crystal healing, please let us know!

Crystals for Repelling Negative Energies

Question: Hi, i want to know from your experience which stone or gem is most effective that naturally returns negative energy to sender and does not need recharging much or at all?

Answer:  Hi, from our experience, the best crystals to repel psychic attacks (negative energies directed at you) is orange Carnelian and the best crystal for transmuting negative energies (in general, doesn't have to directed at you) is Obsidian. Both of these crystals need little to no charging.

Fatigue in Film

Obsidian, Lava, Bloodstone Bracelet

Question: Hi, I need advice for my friend. He is working in film industry and you know its a blood shedding job. His daily schedules are not on track, he eats and sleeps wen he gets time may be 1 hr sleep a day or so.. this makes him tired and i give Reiki daily yet its not sufficient for him. Kindly let me know if there is any thing else like a stone which he can wear regularly or a different healing procedure that can energies him daily to great extend. Because of this industry he gathers lot of negative energy daily, is there any remedy for both the problems?

Answer:  For your friend, Obsidian will be extremely beneficial for him in protecting him from absorbing other people's negative energies. Obsidian is one of our most popular crystals used for protection. For energy in general, I would recommend labradorite for increasing motivation throughout the day, red jasper for physical energy and quartz to enhance the aura. You could also try Selenite, which helps to seal the aura of energy leaks and drains.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

Rainbow Obsidian vs. Negativity

Rainbow Obsidian Ring

Question: Hi Sheila, By mistake I removed the information on rainbow obsidian. Was it that it's excellent for protection against negative energies or is it for removing the negative energies? Thank you.

Answer: Hi, rainbow obsidian is great for transmuting negative energy to positive wavelengths, therefore protecting the aura. You may find a list of metaphysical properties on our websites in case you forget in the future.

But of course, your emails are always welcome as well. 

Have a great weekend,

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: Obsidian

QUESTION: Peace & Blessings, I stumbled upon your Youtube page while looking for a decent "open chakra" video and really digged your chakra therapy cleansing technique. This of course lead me to your website and then I decided to email you. =) Heeeyah.. wusup Sheila Satin crystal balla!! lol jk Anywayzzz, I am interest in purchasing an Osidian Crystal similar to the one you used in that video for my recording studio. I may actually need a couple. lol So I was wondering do you have any that size and what is your price?

Also do you ever give seminars in New York?

When I saw your video I kept thinking to myself, "where do I meet someone like this". I am single, vegetarian, consider myself to be very positive and spiritual, love to meditate, have a degree in Media Communications, love to help ppl and try do humane things, etc. BUT!!! I am in the music business which I love (pop urban & hiphop) and most of the people I meet or work with are so not down with this! For example, some associates of mine have an incredible time joking about the organic foods i eat and most of them don't have a clue about meditation or crystals. REal TalK!! lol

Anywho, I guess I need your crystal theorpy class. Lmbo =)

I hope to hear back from you soon. tc God Bless.

ANSWER: Hello, thanks for your email.

We do have many pieces of Obsidian in our store as it's a very popular seller! We have tumbled stones for $1 each, smaller slabs that range from $10-20 depending on the quality of their rainbows, flat hearts that are $20/each, Larger chunks that are around $150, towers around $120-150, pyramids around $50, spheres that range from $15-$2012 depending on the size (you can imagine that the highest end of that spectrum is a huge bowling ball size sphere!). You can see some of the Obsidian: Click here, but a lot of the pieces are not online yet, so if you tell me what size and price range you are looking for, we can send you some pictures!

We do not have any regular classes held in New York at this time, but we do have a full schedule of classes, meditations and events in our San Francisco location. However, we do travel on request if there are at least 6 students interested in learning a particular subject.

It's great that you have a balance of physical and spiritual in your life. If you want to get more into the spiritual side of things, I would suggest joining one of your local www.meetup.com metaphysical groups or yoga/meditation centers in your area to connect with like minded people. Let us know about the Obsidian. We also have pendants, bracelets and can custom design jewelry.

CRYSTALS: Colon Cancer

QUESTION: Good afternoon - I've enjoyed ordering from you several times over. Please, I would like to ask your help. I have just learned this morning that a very dear friend of mine was diagnosed with colon cancer. Although I've worked with crystals for many years (off and on), I thought I would go to the experts with this question! What stone(s) would be the best to help aid her in removing the polyps and aid in her healing?

Thank you so very much in advance. I would also like to let you know I am a Shamanic practitioner, medium, clairvoyant, and do readings. If there is anything I would be able to assist you with in the future, please let me know and I will be happy to do whatever I can. Thank you again.

ANSWER: Hi, thank you for your email. We highly recommend Selenite and Obsidian for all sorts of cancer healing. Selenite is great in regenerating cells and sealing the aura from leaks. Obsidian is great in getting to the root of the problem, helping the person let go of any anger or hatred they may be holding (energetically the root cause of cancer), all the while protecting from and transmuting any negative energies. These two crystals will aid your friend in her healing process. If you need any other advice, we are only an email away!

CRYSTALS: Body Work

QUESTION: Wow thanks! Well I've already bought the Flurite pendent but I'm looking to add some accent beads - probibly 4. I've just bid on some obsidian beads and I also heard that Green Ruby Zoisite was good for body workers. Do you think all 3 of these will work well toghether? I'm still learning how to use crystal energy so I don't want to make a bomb (figuritivly speaking) Thank you for your help! Also would red coral be a good addition too?

ANSWER: Hi again, that is a good combination. In reality, you can not "go wrong" with the combination of properly cleaned, charged and programmed crystals. They are all emitting a positive energy and can work in harmony with one another. Ruby Zoisite is great because it pays particular attention to the Heart Chakra, our most important chakra centers! It is a balancer of the upper chakras with the green Zoisite and the lower chakras with the red Ruby. This crystal is also known to increase spiritual awareness, which is beneficial when working with energies!

Red Coral is a similar energy as Ruby as that it is stimulating the Root Chakra, your physical energy. So for that purpose it is definitely great, but I think the three crystals you have already is a good package for a body worker!

CRYSTALS: Obsidian

QUESTION: Hi! I'm really interested in the engergy properties in stones/crystals. My husband is starting massage therapy and they're learning about energy. I want to make him a necklace. I just purchased a fluorite stone for the centerpice to keep him from absorbing other energy (he seems to have a problem of getting everyones evergy) What are some other stones to go with this to help him stay focused and heal others? Thank you!

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email.

You are right to use Fluorite for his focusing, however, what we have found (from doing many crystal healing sessions with clients) is OBSIDIAN to be the BEST crystal to transmute the clients' negativity to positive energy. This way we don't feel so drained after the healing session because our auras do not absorb the negativity coming out. I would HIGHLY suggest buying some Obsidian for him to wear, hold or keep near him while healing.

I usually wear Obsidian bracelets or pendants or I hold a large slab in the hand I am not actively using. But, since's he's doing massage, it's best for him to wear it or have a large piece near his massage table (or even underneath it).

Thanks for your question,
Sincerely,
Sheila Satin: Crystal Healer

HAPPY PEOPLE INTERVIEW: Pamela Johnson

Pamela Johnson
Occupation retired art teacher
Location Missouri

Five things that make you the happiest:
1. Time spent with my boys
2. Creating my art work
3. Everything in nature
4. The books, music, people and occurrences that enhance the spiritual path I’m on right now.
5. Knowing that Spirit is present everywhere and that I lack for nothing.

What are your views on energy healing? I’m just now learning a little about it, but it makes as much sense to me as anything else out there. We are all beings of vibrational energy, so why not use the energy of crystals (or plants, animals, and people, for that matter) to increase our well being? Energy, no matter what form it’s contained in, all comes from the same Source, which in my view is only good and loving.

How do you call abundance into your life? By believing that I already have what I need and accepting it. I’m not always successful at this. Sometimes it’s very hard to put this law into practice, but I’m getting better at it.

What is your favorite crystal? Obsidian. Negativity is toxic, and one of the properties of obsidian is to repel that. What is one crystal or energy healing experience you would like to share with the world? I don’t have one yet.

How do you define success? There are lots of ways to feel successful. When I do something that “gives back” or is helpful to someone else in some way, I feel successful. Accomplishing a goal I have set for myself makes me feel successful. When I’m trying to understand and learn what a spiritual teacher is saying, that “aha” moment of finally “getting it” ( and sometimes it takes a really long time to get there!) gives me a great sense of success.

Three things that you would like to manifest in your life right now:
1. Unshakeable confidence that I can accomplish whatever I set before me to do.
2. Get my art out there into the best venues for me
3. “Can’t put a lid on it” creativity

What types of people do you want to attract into your life (this is so those who like your interview can contact you if they fit your description)? Positive people who are open to Life and celebrate the uniqueness of everyone on the planet.

**If you would like others to contact you, leave your email and any other of your sites you'd like to promote: psj4@cablemo.net;

a bevy of cures

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, last summer you told me of some crystals I could use for my health conditions which are severe arthritis, bone on bone in the knees and the same in my spine, no disk left in lower back. You recommended mochi balls and selenite. I have a couple of pieces of selenite, one is a rounded wand for massaging, the other a narrow rectangle piece that splinters so it can't be used for massaging. I recently ordered the mochi balls from you on ebay, as well as some citrine tumbled stones and the window quartz pieces/palm stones. I have numerous books but still get overwhelmed.

How do I use the mochi balls? I got the citrine stones to give to my children who are financially struggling in this economy. I don't know why I got the crystal quartz, I guess that will be revealed to me on a need to know basis. I also want to take some gemstone elixir but don't know which stones to use...I think you may have told be calcite. Is that yellow, orange? How many stones do I put into each preparation, and how much water? Do I use spring water, tab water, distilled? And what kind of container? Would a quart fruit jar be ok? It is clear glass but has a metal lid.

I am considering ordering your Dad's book? I will maybe next month or ask for it for my birthday later this month. I may need to get some calcite stones from you for the elixir if you have the kind I need.

I also have a friend who is going through so much grief. Actually, two friends. One lost her husband suddenly. I made her an amethyst and rose quartz bracelet but I feel that she is still suffering a lot. My other friend lost her husband 2 years ago and recently lost her oldest son in a car accident. As I look through all my books on grief, nothing jumps out at me for her. I know apache tears is good for that but I don't have the beads to make jewelry and she isn't open to the whole idea of stones. I do this jewelry thing to help those that don't realize how much stones can help. They are open to wearing the jewelry. I clean it and dedicate it to them as their needs manifest themselves to the stone. It is my way of helping people who aren't open to this way of healing. I know one doesn't need to believe in them for them to work...they just have to wear the stones.

I thank you again and look forward to hearing from you and getting your suggestions


ANSWER:
The mochi balls you use by rubbing over the affected area. I haven't done this myself, but several clients who have arthritis swear by mochi balls, so I wanted to pass on this information!

The Citrine crystals make sure that your kids keep them wherever they keep cash so that there can be a flow. Many clients also swear by Citrine and it is commonly known as the "Merchant Stone". I myself prefer Aventurine and Bloodstone, but again, it's up to personal prefernce and resonance with each crystal.

Calcite comes in many different colors. I use one tumbled stone (3/4"-1") to one glass of water, more or less. You will come up with your own method, but to start off, you can use this measurement for elixirs. And the water is again up to you. Whatever you are used to drinking. I drink tap water, so that is what I use, but if you're used to some other kind of water, I would use that. A fruit jar is fine. If you are concerned with the metal lid, I would just place a paper towel over that top if you are concerned with impurities falling into the water while creating.

My dad's book, "Incredibly Believable!" is a wonderful, uplifting and easy to read book. Wherever he is now in the universe, he is looking out for us as all the advanced souls are. We overcome our mortal dilemmas and crystals are definitely an aid in the right direction.

For your friends going through grief, I would definitely stick with black stones because these are much stronger in absorbing and transmuting negativity. If you can't find Apache Tear beads, definitely use Obsidian. Apache Tears are a form of Obsidian.

I also started my own jewelry line since we last emailed, you can check it out at http://sheilasatin.etsy.com/ and if you have any custom requests, I am happy to create!

You are certainly correct, you don't have to believe in the crystals for them to work! But it's just the more powerful when you do accept their energies :)
