CRYSTALS: Chakra Crack

QUESTION: hi satin crystals,i'm a friend of sheila's from boston. i don't know who is answering these emails but i do have a question.what stones do you recommend for healing chakra balance overall. a palm reader told me today my "chakra line has a crack". what to do?

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email! I just got back from Spain, so I apologize for the delay!For overall chakra balance, we use clear Quartz crystals. Crystals vibrate a subtle energy that allow you to balance your chakras that are out of line. When we do general chakra crystal healing, we use clear Quartz because of its general purpose and enhancing energies. However, if you wan to be more specific, of course, there are many crystals that correspond to each particular chakra~

You may also consider a Quartz chakra wand (like pictured) or a Chakra Plate!

Please let me know if you need any other information about crystals, we are always happy to help you out!

Your friend,

CRYSTALS: Broken Malachite

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, I bought that Malachite ring from you before you moved....remember the one I was obsessed with?! Anyway a few weeks later I saw a crack down the middle....I assumed I hit it against something although I'm not sure what. Anyway, it wasn't tooo obvious and it's been like that since June. I wear it all the time and I feel its goodness :) Anyway lately i've been thinking and organizing my thoughts and my heart... Then I was getting my hair done today at Aveda Salon and they had these Ayruveda oils...and I put on a Harmony oil..for balance. Then I was driving home and when I parked in front of my apt I heard something fall next to my drivers seat....I pulled up the malachite stone which was cracked down the middle into two pieces...it fell out of my ring. Now, is there any meaning behind it?? is it what I believe it to mean?? or was it just broken?? haha Your insight means alot to me.

PS. My sister loved the bracelet you made for her!!

ANSWER: Hi! I'm so glad to hear from you.

Well, when a stone breaks, it means that it has absorbed either too much energy and you need another of the same stone OR it can mean that it is done working for you and you can move on to another healing stone. Only you will know which one it is!

When we use crystals for healing, we are constantly cleaning them out of any negative energies they have collected from the client so that they don't get overwhelmed and break. As you probably know, Malachite is known as the "power stone" and it has a very strong energy to help release emotional traumas of the heart. If your heart is in a blocked state, it may be that Malachite is helping to transmute a lot of this energy and as it was not cleaned out energetically, it may have broke. On the other hand, if your heart is pretty balanced, it could mean that you may no longer need Malachite.

Malachite is a relatively soft stone, so if you think it has nothing to do with energies, it could just mean that a physical crack occurred if you were unintentionally hitting your ring against a hard surface! Either way, you can now bury the stone in the earth to help your plants grow or throw it out into the sea to be back in nature :)

I am always happy to hear from you, so don't hesitate to email or call!

Your friend,
Sheila Satin :)

CRYSTALS: Liver Self-Esteem

QUESTION:

Hi, I hoped you could offer some healing advice. I wondered if there are any crystals that help with liver function and/or hormones.

I have been seeing a holistic doctor for a couple years who did some biofeedback work and showed my liver is not functioning as it should, or is very taxed, and that my hormones are way out of balance. I had wondered about this as I have taken antidepressants for 11 years ( i think my low self esteem and negative thinking is the root of my health problems). I was also treated with a lot of antibiotics for a year or so for Lyme disease, and after this developed some food allergies, bad acne, and terrible PMS where i become extremely depressed the week before my period. My psychiatrist has put me on Prozac for the 2 weeks before my period, which helps a great deal, but frustrates me that I need this to function normally. I also have been taking Lithium for 8 years, for bipolar disorder, but have begun to wonder in the past few years if I am bipolar or if my hormones are just very unbalanced. My mother recently told me that she suffers with very bad hormonal problems also. I feel like I have been looking outside of myself for medications, to doctors, when what I need is to work on my self esteem and that this would help my whole body heal. As i work on my self esteem issues, are there any crystals that help liver functioning, hormones, and also with self esteem and expressing oneself?

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email.

First of all, you must deal with the root problem - low self esteem and negative thinking. These are symptoms found in the energy body and then show up in your physical body as all kinds of diseases. Accepting that you have these symptoms is the first step to altering your thinking. Negative thinking is a bad habit that many of us pick up as we are growing up in this society. I myself had to alter my mind frame over the course of years to finally begin looking at all situations in a positive light. Whenever you find yourself thinking a negative, self-defeating though, stop and alter it right then and there. You will feel much better.

Let's say someone asks you to give a speech in front of a stadium full of people. Your first thought may be, "I can never do that!". Stop right there and make yourself think "I can do that". It opens up a whole world of possibilities. Even if you don't believe yourself at first, your positive thinking will become a way of life over time.

Of course positive thinking will directly relate to your self image. Any defeating statements you think of yourself, turn them around the minute you are aware of your thought process. Focus on things that you are happy about. Turn "I look fat today" into "I'm having a great hair day". Start with small steps. It will be hard at first, but it will turn your whole life around, body, mind and spirit.

Now some crystals to help you in increasing self esteem, accepting yourself and self-love are Rose Quartz, Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite. All pink stones, relating to the Heart Chakra, where we emit and receive love energy and connect to universal love.

Next, to aid in your current liver situation, I highly recommend Red Jasper and Bloodstone. Red Jasper provides the physical energy to strengthen the organs and Bloodstone helps the liver clean the blood, regular blood volume and destroy old red blood cells.

You can choose to use this stones in any energy healing method, but I would suggest lying with Rose Quartz, Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite on your heart. This may take months to years before all the hurt in your heart has been dissolved, depending on how deep the hurt is. Remember to clean, charge and program the crystals for what you want before you begin. You may also want to add on a Sunstone to help you keep focused on the positive, light, happy side of life.

Remember to keep affirming the positive affirmation that you have programmed your crystals for, especially in the beginning of using them.

For your liver, I would suggest making gem elixirs for drinking, placing them in your bathtub if you take baths and/or wearing them as bracelets. Also placing them on your body helps tremendously.

If you need any other crystal healing advice, we are here for you!

With love,

CRYSTALS: Care

QUESTION: Hi, i am new to crystals i currently own a Rose Quartz and Amethest i wear them on a chain together, i was wondering how to clean and charge or program them.

ANSWER: Thanks for your question.

I would suggest cleaning and charging your pendants on a large cluster. clusters with more points are best as they are constantly circulating focused energy through the tips. This will effectively clean and charge your stones, especially if the cluster is kept in the sunlight. I have large Quartz clusters I like to use, but you can use any cluster you have available. If you do not own any clusters, you can also use dry brown rice, another one of my favorite cleaning methods. You will want to place these also in the sunlight to charge.

You can also simply run them under tap water, but again, if they with metals or on a chain, this may tarnish the metal. So, for jewelry you should stay away from water when you are unsure of the outcome.

Dry sea salt is another popular cleaning method, but for polished stones this could lead to scratches, depending on the hardness of the crystal.

If you have any additional questions, i am happy to answer them for you. You can also feel free to call our retail shop during store hours!

Sincerely,

Sheila Satin
