CRYSTALS: Pregnancy & Chakra Plates

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, Re. crystals and pregnancy: I read that a few weeks prior to delivery, the mother should keep her red stones - jasper or garnets, close to her to give her strength and energy for the delivery. What are your thoughts on this?

Re. chakra plated: other than one with all the chakra crystals, could one use more than one plate at a time? Could I also use Selenite at the crown, a grounding stone at the base and hand held crystals or would that be too much?

Thank you for your help.

ANSWER: Hi Barbara, yes, red stones are excellent to keep near the mother-to-be for strength and energy. People have also found fertility stones like Moonstone, Shiva Lingams and Unakite to be helpful in a smooth pregnancy. 

As for laying of the chakra plates, if you are doing a general healing, I would focus on the main chakras. If you are focusing on a specific intent, you can use as many crystals directed to this purpose as you want. However, keep in mind that some people are much more sensitive to crystal energies than others. For those who are sensitive to the energies, they may find it to be too strong and aggressive if you use many stones in combination.  If you are working on yourself, it is easier to judge. If you are working on others, I would experiment with adding a few other stones besides the chakra plates and if they are doing okay when you check in with them, then feel free to add more. Sometimes people are just not ready to deal with all of the energies that the crystals may be extracting or instilling, so you want to take it slowly with one intent and just a few crystals for the purpose. 

Sincerely,

CRYSTALS: Overdrive

pictured: carnelian bracelet

QUESTION: I was googling crystal changing colors and came across your blog. I have been wearing 2 Carnelian's for a month and 2 Aventurine's for a week to aid fertility.

I've been having IVF and have discovered my ovaries hardly produce any follicles/eggs even when on high dose of fertility meds so I have been carrying the crystals in my pockets or taped onto my skin on the ovaries with micropore tape to help and heal them and have noticed all 4 crystals have changed colors, they've got white bits on them and some parts has gone almost completely white.2 of them has now also got some tiny holes/dents which are black inside.

I have been under alot of stress leading up to my next treatment in a few weeks time after have been trying for a baby for over 8 years,have had 8 IVF's and 2 miscarriages and are feeling very scared of yet another failed IVF or another miscarriage and so on.

Is this why the gems have changed in a bid to heal me of negativity? Can you suggest any more crystals?

ANSWER: Thank you for your email. Yours is one of those extreme cases where the crystals are working on overdrive, absorbing excess negative energies from your aura. I have heard of a few cases like this, especially when there is some kind of extreme stress, like Apache Tears turning from black to clear to absorb mourning energy or Bloodstone losing all of its red color in cases of anemia and Garnets even starting to smoke in the strong presence of evil.

That being said, you are doing the right thing in taping these crystals to your skin in the appropriate area. I assume you have cleaned, charged and programmed your crystals before using them for healing? In your case, I would clean and charge them on a daily basis (programming is only necessary once), seeing as how hard they are working, they may lose their energy. I would also have a backup set of crystals to let one set rest while the other is working.

Above all else, fear is playing a detrimental part in blocking your healing energies. Naturally you will have fear, but I would suggest "tricking" yourself, reciting positive affirmations and thanking the universe for everything you already DO have to achieve all that you still want to have.

Other crystals besides Carnelian and Aventurine, I would recommend Moonstone, a great fertility stone and connecting with your feminine energies and Unakite, another great one for pregnancies, connecting to Mother Earth and her creative energies.

Appreciate all that is meant to be,

CRYSTALS: Fertility

QUESTION: Sheila, thank you very much for taking the time in sending me a reply. Last weekend, one of my friends told me that she's experiencing psychic attacks (actually getting the physical effects of it now) and I happened to be wearing my pendant. I instantly gave it to her, asked her to cleanse and energize. (She said she will program it the following day. It was already night time and didn't want her husband to see her). That was okay, right? If not, please tell me what I should have done.

Yesterday, we talked about the pendant again and I referred her to http://www.idigcrystals.com/, etc. and asked me if I knew of a stone that can aid her regarding fertility. She's desperate about having a baby soon. She had a miscarriage I think two or a year ago. I told her that I would look it up (I'll do some research about it and perhaps ask you ladies for your recommendation(s)).

ANSWER: Yes, you can definitely give your crystals to a friend in need, as long as she cleans and reprograms them to her own energies, she will not be affected by yours.

Moonstone is a great fertility stone when programmed for this purpose. Moonstone radiates with the feminine qualities of the Moon Goddess, yin energy.

You can also try fertility shiva lingam stones, which are egg-shaped stones but even on both ends. The Shiva lingam represents the primeval energy of the Creator. It is believed that at the end of creation, all of the different aspects of God find a resting place in the Lingam. The Shiva lingam also represents the infinite Cosmic Column of fire.

Here's a passage from my old blog:

QUESTION: good morning sheila, It's me again lol. I was wondering, would this (regarding the Quartz Shiva Lingam pendant) work similarly to how one of the brown lingams would work? I used one about 4 years ago to help me conceive my first child after I was told I could not become pregnant. I put a large brown lingam under the head of the bed and wore a smaller one around my neck. Just a couple of months later I was pregnant with my son. I am thinking about becoming pregnant again and when I was looking through deciding what to add to my order I came across this and had to ask :) Many thanks and Blessings

ANSWER: I think for your purpose, the lingam would be more effective. This piece will enhance your lingam work as it is a carving of the lingam in Quartz. Quartz, as you know, enhances all the energies around us, and with the lingam symbol, it will remind you of your purpose. It is also set in sterling silver, a metal which enhances the property of crystals as well.
