Crystals to enhance the energy of your home

It’s important to have the energy of your home as you would like it. A calm, peaceful home is important for your well being. After a hard day at work it’s nice to come home to that place of relaxation and peace. Even if you work from home the same applies outside of your “office”. It can be cleansing and uplifting as well as peaceful and calm; you tailor it as you desire.

Crystals can help with this. But which ones as there are so many and all do different things! The short but complete answer is all crystals will enhance the energy/atmosphere of your home. There are some basic rules of thumb yes, and some crystals may suit certain environments and rooms used for specific purposes…. but in essence all will help.

Crystals radiate their own energy field thereby affecting the energy in your house. You may recognise it as the atmosphere or “feeling” you have whilst there. For example, everyone who enters my house experiences a sense of peace and calm as this is how I set it up, but you can choose how you would like it. It’s useful to have a basic understanding of which ones to place in your home as different crystals placed in different areas may achieve slightly different results. Amethyst is a great one to have, in geode form or beds ( a bed is a slab shape, geode is like a cave ). This crystal is multi functional, providing protection against all unwanted negative energies and at the same time calming and peaceful. This is why you often see large Amethyst Geodes in Spa centres, particularly in their relaxation rooms. It also provides a useful energy “Anchor” for your house. So place by doors and a corner of the house somewhere. It is one of the few crystals that is self cleansing and you can place other crystals on the Amethyst and it cleanse them also! I have a geode in each room of the house and in my bedroom I have one that I hang all my crystal pendants from

Like Amethyst, Smokey Quartz is a good anchor crystal and if you obtain a large piece should be located somewhere prominent in an important place where you spend allot of time. A book on Feng Shui would help for people first starting out on positioning of some crystals. Smokey is similar to Amethyst in that it’s good for cleansing and absorbing negative energies. Clear quartz or Quartz generally can be valuable but care has to be taken as often they have high vibration and can make your house very “buzzy”. In the main though it will be very large pieces that will have this effect. Years ago I bought a massive piece weighing 25 plus Kilos which felt great in the shop but in my lounge it was like being at a club on a Friday night full of teenagers partying with out the music or teenagers! It was just too much for my home so I had to return and replace it with something different. But that is an extreme example and unlikely you will come across that scenario.

Feminine angelic crystals like Celestite ( photo above ) and Selenite are great for promoting a soft angelic energy along with Rose Quartz and Lapis Lazuli. Agates are strengthening and grounding and very nice in candle holder form so you have the benefit of the crystal and a lit candle which is always nice and relaxing. Septarian is another lovely crystal formed in the earth from various elements including silt. It’s harder to obtain but worth it and helps to banish nightmares and is a good multi purpose healing crystal. Black tourmaline as always placed around the house at key locations to absorb negative energy and electromagnetic smog which could be very detrimental to your well being.

Smaller crystals such as tumbles are great for placing around the house in every room, on tables, shelves, windows sills, cabinets, in small bowls or loose. The same applies for larger pieces as any and all crystals will help make your home a nice place to be When choosing what and where the general rule of thumb is to clear your mind and ask your self while holding or focusing on the crystal where you think it should go. You may even hear the crystal answer you in a manner of speaking….go with it and trust your feelings in the matter, you will know. So fill your home full of crystals and feel better

Crystals to help you sleep

Amethyst Geode. Click to enlarge.

One of the most common problems I help people with when healing is a problem with sleep. Even if it isn’t precisely that problem, more often than not it’s a contributory factor or an off shoot of the main one. Let’s face it, sleep is pretty important and without it we just cannot function. Sleep is where we rest our physical bodies and minds. Repairing, rejuvenating, calming and ready for the next day. Here I will mention a few crystals that will aid you in this area.

One of the main things to consider is exactly how your sleep is impaired? For example, is it due to dreams or nightmares? Stress or not being able to sleep till the early hours? Waking up early or during the night to name but a few. Establishing the cause is the next step. There are so many reasons this could be and of course the answer would differ for each one. Meditation, breathing, removing outside influences and other things, all of which would help.

Something people forget to consider is Electromagnetic radiation or Geopathic stress. These two things are in some ways closely linked, but still separate. I don’t wish to go into too much detail here as that is a separate blog all together. Electro magnetic smog ( see previous blog entitled “Crystals and electromagnetic smog” for full details ) is caused by electricity around the house, wireless computers, mobile phones, wireless mobile phone bases are the biggest culprits. Geopathic stress is caused by an interference of the earths natural magnetic fields by either natural means, i.e. underground streams, fault lines, or man made such as the foundations of a large building.

Crystals can help with this. Generally speaking you should place the crystal under your pillow or next to your bed. Also with crystals intended specifically for blocking electromagnetic radiation should be placed close to anything electrical in the area you sleep, like plugs or adaptors, lap tops, TV’s etc. Always turn anything electrical off at the main socket if possible. Black tourmaline, Smokey Quartz and Amethyst are great for this. Amethyst is good for helping you sleep generally and should be placed under your pillow or close to your head on a bedside cabinet for example.

Any kind of calming gentle crystal is also good. I personally find Lapis Lazuli ( deep blue with gold flecks in it, raw or polished ) and Rose Quartz great for helping me slow down and relax, both mentally and physically. I hold either in my hand as I lay in bed and drift off, its a lovely feeling. Celestite is a beautiful pale blue crystal, best in a raw form, very angelic, gentle and soothing to have close to you. Selenite is similar in many ways to Celestite, another angelic feminine crystal, great to have in the bedroom or any room. Also it can be placed in the corners of the room or house forming a protective energy grid and helps stabilize erratic emotions. Lepidolite Mica and Hematite will also assist with insomnia.

It is important to remember we are all different. We vibrate at different frequencies at different times in our life, therefore we must find the right crystal for us. What suits one person may not suit you. Hold the crystal if possible and see how you feel inside, then try it out at home. The right one will come to you. Trust your adviser and yourself with using the right crystal and if either doesn’t feel right, change it. If I can help in anyway please contact me, I stock most of these crystals if you need them. Enjoy your sleep

The Power of your words

Your words have power. They are an extension of you, your vibration, the signal and energy you transmit. They can be positive or negative, it is your choice. We all know about the more obvious aspects of words with expressions like ” The pen is mightier than the sword ” or “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”. But is this actually the case?

Words, spoken and written have been responsible for wars, international crises, segregation, prejudice, fear, suspicion, mistrust, indoctrination, loss of friendship and love, and loneliness to name but a few. On the flip side of the coin, they also contribute to world peace, respect, joy, contentment, friendship, learning, love and understanding. So wouldn’t it be wise to think about what we say before we say it? Take a deep breath before we offer those words out to be received?

We are all energy. At a sub atomic level we vibrate which science has unequivocally proved now. When we speak, we have feeling behind what we say and intention, even if it’s subconscious or not realised. So if it is something negative, like I don’t like you, or you annoy me, or you fool, it offers a negative vibration which impacts on yourself, the person you offered it to and everything around you. On a mass global level with many people offering this type of vibration the scale of effect is huge.

This is demonstrated by Dr. Masaru Emoto, a graduate of Yokohama Municipal University and the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. He is now world famous for his research and photography of water. He set up a controlled experiment with two samples of water from the same location and placed them in two test tubes. Then wrote the words hate on one and love on the other, froze them and photographed each at a cellular level, recording the crystalline structure on film. The results were astonishing. The water with hate written on it showed crystal structures malformed and fragmented. The water with love written on it formed beautiful hexagonal crystals. Similar experiments were conducted with children speaking to the water voicing words such as “fool, ugly” compared to “beautiful and thank you” offered comparable results. Beautiful crystalline structures for the former and malformed, dark fragmented structures for the latter.

Taking this a step further, if you read my previous blogs, you will know that we are anything from 55% to 75% water, depending on what journal you read. So if we feel negative or are offered negative vibration, it doesn’t take much to realise the effect it can have on our body at a cellular level. In this negative cellular state we can become ill, feel bad and even assist towards dis-ease as our bodies are in this cellular state of negativity. Of course, we can counteract this with good words and intentions, meditation and so forth. But how often do we do this? And isn’t is better to not offer or receive that negative vibration in the first place? Feel the difference in your self and day to day interactions when you are mindful of this. You will feel better inside and so will others around you.

My point is this; be mindful of your words and the feeling you place behind them, especially when aimed at someone directly. The impact is far greater than you may have previously thought. Think before you write and speak, and be aware of the impact it will have, both on your self and others. You will notice a difference almost immediately in the way you feel if done in earnest. The long term implications for your well being and health maybe nothing short of staggering, never mind a general sense of peace and contentment on a deep core level. Isn’t that worth being mindful of what you say?

The Pigeon

Yesterday I was returning from Staffordshire having visited a crystal warehouse to purchase some beautiful crystals for you guys. I had spent a lovely couple of hours acting like a child in a candy shop and was in a good mood as I was travelling down a small country A road. Suddenly I saw a puff of white feathers explode in front of a car travelling towards me. As I continued to watch, now transfixed, I saw that a pigeon had been hit by the oncoming car. I slowed down, continuing past for a closer look….the pigeon was still alive! His head was up as he tried to move but was unable to walk or fly.

I turned into a side road 20 meters ahead, spun the car round and pulled up in front of the pigeon protecting him from further harm and got out. The position was not great as in one direction it was a long sweeping bend, but I put my hazards on and got out of the vehicle. Quickly I went to the pigeon and saw that he was still moving but appeared to be fading fast although I could see no visible injury. As you can imagine it was only seconds before other vehicles came up behind me, forced to slow down to get past, but out of all the vehicles that did only one sounded his horn. The rest looked on with a mixture of sympathy or mild interest. Gently I picked him up supporting his head and wings in both hands and laid him down on the wide grass verge. His mouth was opening and closing, his tongue sticking out, body trembling. I noticed a car pull up behind mine and wondered what the driver wanted. To berate me for partially blocking the lane perhaps?

Turning my attention back to the pigeon I placed my hands over him, channelling healing energy, blessing him and asking for help from my guides. Very gently I lifted him in my hands slightly off the grass, speaking in low soothing tones, encasing him in loving gentle white light. After a few seconds he closed his eyes and died.

I then saw his spirit rise up, confused and in shock. Lost. He had just been hit by a car in a massive impact and his physical life taken from him in violent suddenness. I called into the spirit world for help soothing his spirit at the same time, feeling him calming. A group of birds in spirit form appeared…white, beautiful and loving along side a brilliant circle of white light, calling and moving towards him to help the pigeon pass over. After a few seconds he flew towards the light and I could feel the gratitude emanating from him as he joined his brethren and the beautiful circle of white light. It was so moving and I felt my eyes well up. He just flew into the circle of light with his friends and disappeared.

Stroking his body I placed it deeper into the verge amongst some taller grass, thanked my guides and all in the spirit world who helped me, stood up and made to return to my car. I then noticed the other persons car who had parked behind me and the young lady driver who was standing watching me. I approached her and she said ” I cant believe you stopped. ” I said ” I saw it happen and saw that he was still alive, so came back, I couldn’t just leave it ” Her face was one of complete seriousness and amazement as she said ” That’s what I was doing too. I cant believe you came back, it’s so wonderful. One of those moments you never forget in your life”

I looked at her with deep emotions running through me and replied. “I’m a healer and a medium. It’s what I do”

This is not the first time I have helped an animal cross over. But the first time someone witnessed me. That pigeon had a spirit and could feel. His gratitude for me helping him when dying was overwhelming. Even while writing this and re living the experience, I feel tears coming unbidden to my eyes. Respect all living things. They are no less or more than us. We are all part of life in this universe and allot more love for all things would go a long way. Amen to that.

How to unwind in under one minute

Sounds impossible? It is not! This is a simple way to wind down your metabolism, still your mind, body and yes, still your spirit also.

How many times have you been at that wound up point during the average week? Doing anything, anything at all. At work, talking to someone, in the house cooking , cleaning , talking to your partner or children, in a business meeting or just at the end of a gruelling day. Maybe even the start of the day! Or about to do something and you are too excited, anxious or nervous. Well here is a simple technique to resolve this situation in as little time as it counts to pause in your actions.

There are two parts to this, breathing and pausing. The pausing comes first. Whatever you are doing…wherever you are, just pause. Stop what you are doing. Even if for a second or two. But just ……stop. Make sure your feet are on the ground and close your eyes, take a full deep breath, filling your lungs to capacity and breath out. Fully. Like a sigh almost. After the exhale count in your mind up to five in thousands. One thousand, two thousand and so on. Don’t worry if you cant, count to three instead. You will be surprised though. You can count more than five if you wish, but it is not a competition. The counting after exhale will make you slow right down and feel immediately calmer. Breath in and repeat. The effect of this process is nothing short of astonishing. Try it.

You can repeat this breathing once or twice or for a whole thirty minute meditation. The exercise can be completed any place, anywhere and any number of times during your day. At a bus stop, in the car, at the office, in the kitchen, sitting in your favourite armchair, in a shop or even in the shower. Obviously you cant always close your eyes so only when your situation allows it safely. Adapt it to your needs. If you do this as a deep meditation in a quiet place for fifteen to thirty minutes, you will find that you can count for much longer, reaching an amazing state of peace and stillness within. Or use it for everyday slowing down in seconds. I personally use this exercise on a daily basis. Enjoy the peace and stillness

People today would be happier with fewer possessions?

In the modern world people have the opportunity to acquire many different material objects for all kinds of reasons. For example, to make their life easier, a micro wave oven, a mobile phone. Or something that will give them pleasure like a luxurious car, a branded handbag or clothing, the latest sound system, plasma television, DVD player or massive house to name but a few. All of which people would, including myself, give perfectly valid reasons for owning them. And why not?

Why not indeed. But there is a flip side to this coin. The truth of the matter is that many people acquire these material goods in an attempt to make themselves happy. This reason is fundamentally wrong on a very deep level. You see, happiness should come from within. Have you ever seen rich or famous people who still seem to be unhappy? Using drugs and becoming addicts, alcoholics, suffering a string of broken relationships and marriages, plastic surgery all the time to make themselves physically more pleasing to the eye. Even sometimes committing suicide at very young ages. If owning all these material goods and having everything money can buy makes you happy, then why does this happen? Of course, most would agree that money gives you choices in life and can certainly make your life easier. But happy? No. Maybe on a superficial level yes, but not true happiness. That comes from within.

This feeds the argument that people who wish to be truly happy and at one with themselves should have nothing other than basic needs like food, a roof over your head and clothes on your back with a warm fire for winter. That’s great for those who desire that style of living. Personally, I prefer the balanced approach. Find happiness within and enjoy your material world at the same time, making sure that material goods are pleasing for me and enjoyable but not the attempted method to achieve deep happiness within. Unfortunately not many in this modern world of technology and greed see this. However, the winds of change are blowing and people are starting to see beyond their house, cars, 2.2 children and half a Labrador. It is a gradual wind, a mere whisper in the grand scheme of things, but gathering pace never the less. Long may it continue.

How to not be lost for words

We have all at some stage been lost for words in our life or the right words simply wont come! This could be in a board meeting delivering a package for your promotion, talking to a difficult member of the public or customer for your business, a family member or friend you are trying to get a point across too without offending them. Even that first contact in a relationship where the energy is so strong that you cannot get your words out and very embarrassed! How frustrating, often embarrassing and dare I say it annoying sometimes is this?

There are allot of techniques available to prevent this from happening in the first place but in this blog I wish to just out line a very simple technique when either caught in that situation or just prior. The main thing is to be “present” and in the “moment”. What I mean by that is to be focused and grounded. Feel where you are, your feet on the floor, the clothes on your body and what, if anything, you are touching in that moment. A table, a door handle, a book, whatever. The reason is that when you are caught speechless or seem unable to voice the right words to avoid that embarrassing moment is all your energy at that time is rushing to the upper half of your body making you feel empty headed. Focusing on your feet on the ground brings your energy back into balance and “grounds” you, connecting your energy back to the earth. Suddenly you will be able to think straight and get your words out! Scientific studies with children at school have found that asking a child to place his feet on the ground brings the child back into the present, more focused and well behaved, allowing them to reconnect and find the answers they were asked for.

Remember you can do this just prior to your interaction or at the time it happens. Just feel your feet on the ground, be “aware” of them. Even while in the middle of talking you can do this. You’ll find the words will flow allowing a sense of confidence and balance avoiding that embarrassing lost feeling!

How To Energise your water

What I recommend to everyone is to place crystals in your water. This literally energises your water. Cleansing it and adding the energy from your crystal. Buy mineral water from the local supermarket or wherever you wish, pour it in a jug and place your crystals in the bottom. Alternatively with your water filter place the crystals in the bottom of the container. The crystals should stay in there and not be taken out. ( They can be removed and cleansed/recharged every now and then ). Leave the water in there for at least 30 mins before drinking. Use it for cooking, your kettle or just drinking. This way you have cleaner purer water and then energised with the crystal.

Personally I use and recommend to all my clients Amethyst as it is a great cleanser, protector, energiser and so many other things. Just a small tumble size piece, rough or polished will suffice. It is a marvellous multipurpose crystal and is a superb base for your water. Further on from that, pour a glass of this water, place another type of crystal, Red Jasper or Fluorite for example in the glass. Leave it overnight to fully charge your water before drinking the next day and absorbing at a cellular level the energy properties of that crystal. You are actually playing at Alchemy! Adjusting the energy composition of your water to suit your needs.

Clients I speak to about this all notice a difference, even in the basic taste. So energise your filtered or mineral water and feel better.

The Importance of Water

Water. Everyone always talks about water and life as we know it. There is no doubt how important water is to our well being. Depending which scientific study you read or which research body findings you look up, our bodies are anything from 55% to 75% give or take made of water. This varies depending on the above, your sex, what your body fat percentage is and so forth. However, we all agree how important it is.

There are many in depth scientific studies out now including photographs of frozen water from different sources that show very clearly the difference between certain types of water. It is amazing to see and I recommend anyone to obtain a copy of this book “The Hidden Messages in Water” by Masaru Emoto. It will open your eyes. It most certainly did me a few years ago. Even different energy/emotional inputs alter the molecular structure of water as well. But that is another blog which I will touch on later.

So how do we improve the water we drink? Most of you would come to the conclusion that mineral water is the answer. Well, yes and no. It is better than tap water for sure. However, it is not a finite answer nor the only one. For some people buying large bottles of water all the time is not practical and you have the expense and plastic bottle disposal issue. You could buy a water filter from any reputable supermarket. Or even have a more permanent filter placed in your domestic water system with its own tap. For further health enhancing benefits place some crystals at the bottom or your water filter.
