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.

CRYSTALS: Vanadinite


QUESTION: hi, i got some vanadinite and i read in the crystal bible that it's poisonous, didn't know what it meant by the indirect method, does that mean i can't touch it? i put it in a ziploc but just want to make sure hahaha

ANSWER: Hi. Vanadinite is like Malachite, the dust can be harmful if inhaled or ingested in large amounts. Small stones will not affect you, but just to be on the safe side, we recommend the indirect method for gem elixirs. The indirect method is done by placing the stone in a glass jar or bowl separate from the water you are infusing. Using dry you should be fine, especially polished pieces which are not as flaky!

Sincerely,
