Smokey Quartz – Painkiller & Detoxifier

Posted on June 22, 2018 by Sargam Mishra

In the realm of dark crystals , the children of mother earth the Smoky Quartz offers a beautiful transparency that draws light into the shades of black and brown. These crystals can be as pale and surreal as a clouds of smoke, as dark and clear as the midnight waters, and sometimes really rich like liquor, this crystal honours its deep connection with the Mother Earth.

It is a talisman of the Root Chakra, and anchors the wearer in the natural world, drawing white light energy from the Crown down through the body to be deeply rooted into the physical/material plane. It initiates movement of primal forces within the body and activates one’s survival instincts in a purified way. It brings strength and stability, and a sense of personal pride in walking the Earth and inhabiting a human form.

11 Ways to Crystallify Your Life

Posted on April 12, 2018 by Sargam Mishra

Standard

Today, more people than ever before are open to using healing crystals. These gems have thousands — sometimes millions — of years of the Earth’s history stored within them that you can harness to tap into your most magnificent self. But just like with any healing practice, diet, or exercise, a crystal routine that works for one person won’t necessarily work for another.

There are countless ways to work with these amazing stones.

11 ways to Crystallify Your Life

1.Using Crystals as Healing Tools

As a Pranic Healer I was introduced to crystals in Pranic Crystal Healing course and I loved how crystal lasers, disintegrators , extractors could reduce the healing time by 1/10th or even less. Mainly we use clear quartz crystals for healing but amethyst, rose quartz , black onyx can also be used by advanced healers based upon the patient ailment.

2. Crystal Jewellery

Crystal jewellery has been around the days of the kings and queens who adorned themselves with precious and semi precious jewellery. Jewellery is an excellent way to experience the energy of these beautiful minerals and have said to be effective in raising the vibrations of the wearer. One of the best ways to wear them is in the form of bracelets, earrings and also necklaces. Ensure to cleanse and charge your jewellery regularly for maximum benefit. Check out Crystal Alchemy Jewellery which is handmade and energized so that it vibrates at the highest frequency.

3. Carry them in your purse/pocket

The magic of crystals can be felt when you are constantly in touch with them. One of the best ways is to carry a crystal in your pocket or purse and pull it out whenever you need to center yourself or bring your attention back to the intention you’re working towards. I have a bowl of crystals and based on which one attracts me on a particular day I just keep it with me and use it as a touchstone to center myself when needed.

4. Create Your Sacred Space

Sacred spaces have quickly become popular — they’re now a must have in of yoga and meditation practice spaces. Using crystals in these calming displays adds a beautiful piece of earth energy and brings a peaceful, grounding presence. The crystals also remind you to reconnect with your intention each time you revisit your space.

Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals for sacred spaces, because it emits positive energy and fosters a deeper state of meditation. Crystal points can help you set an intention in your space. Simply place one point on top of a piece of paper with your intention written on it, and the point amplifies the intention into the universe.

You can do this for your goals and wishes too we will do this in our upcoming event This Wesak Make A Wish

5. Sleep Well with your Crystals

After a tiresome day you can choose to relax with your crystals , you can put them under your bed or your side table ensure the crystals are cleansed and charged. Then place them in your hand , close your eyes and just ask for what you need. It can be clarity, rest, peace, astral travel …just be creative with crystals and you will experience their presence.

Look for crystals that are of the Earth element, these are commonly browns, earthy reds and black. Crystals that are grounding or associated with the Lower Chakras are usually very helpful (sleep is a Lower Chakra activity).

Crystals that are calming, soothing, stress reducing, comforting and cleansing. For shapes try to stick to rounded forms like Tumble Stones, Eggs and Spheres. Some of the recommended crystals are Rose Quartz, Haematite, Red Jasper, Howlite, Selenite.

6.Bring positive energy to your décor

Healing crystals have been popping up in several home décor magazines, and for good reason. Larger crystals make for jaw-dropping statement pieces that work to shift the energy of a space. Amethyst, Clear Quartz for example, dispel negative energy and emits positive vibes — it’s the perfect addition to any room.

7. Use Crystals as the DIY Spa Treatment

Crystals can infuse many self-care routines with healing properties. For a DIY crystal treatment, bring your crystals into the bath with you or let them soak in the water you use to wash your face. The crystal energy will have a peaceful and restorative affect on your at-home spa day.

sargam mishra rose water elixir You can soak your rose quartz overnight in a bowl with some jasmine fresh flowers or rose petals and use that water to wash your face myth is beautiful women like cleopatra used these too.

8. Place crystals on your body

Putting crystals on your body has a completely different effect than simply holding them. If you’re working with a specific chakra, pick a stone that corresponds to that chakra and place it on your body. This serves to stir the energy around that chakra and bring up the emotions that you need to heal.

To start, use smoky quartz to give your root chakra grounding energy or place an aventurine over your heart to open your heart chakra to giving and receiving love. You can place a quartz crystal above your head to open your crown chakra for enlightenment and guidance. Keeping a stone over your third eye during this process can help you enter a deeper state of meditation.

9. Make Your Own Beauty Elixirs

You can create your own beauty elixirs for example rose water /lavender water readily available in market can be energized by Rose Quartz and Aquamarine small soft tumbles. You can also put your beauty products on a rose quartz plate to energize them.

10. Use them in Your Meditation

It is beneficial to choose a crystal that radiates healing properties or energies that are in alignment with what you want to achieve from your meditation. Setting an intention and meditating with your crystal each morning enhances and magnifies the expected outcome. When your mind is focused on your intention from the stillness of your meditation and energy of the crystal, you will have better motivation and inspiration for achieving your goals or receiving certain energy.

11. Amplify the Energy of your Kriyashakti

After you have written your Kriyashakti /wish you can place a clear quartz pyramid, point or cluster to amplify its energy this can help you in faster materialisation of your goals.

Crystal Cleanse Rituals

Here is one of the most asked about post on How to cleanse & Recharge the crystals.

First let us understand why we need to cleanse a crystal after we have purchased it.

When you get a crystal, you may be excited to use it just like the way you get it as you feel they are new to you, but frankly for the crystal it is a long journey before reaching its final destination in your hands. The crystal was mined from the earth, passed off to different handlers, who then gave it to a vendor, to sell to a retailer, where it went through the touch of various customers before your eyes caught sight of it and it was taken.

That’s a lot of collected energy and subtle programming. Because we all want a fresh start for our new journey with our crystals, it’s important that the first step you take is cleansing your crystals.

Key Take Aways…

How to cleanse your crystals with the power of mantras, cleansing crystals like Quartz or Selenite, the sacred smoke of sage, sandal wood, lavender, and use prana from nature like the earth, light of the moon or sun and air

As a crystal lover I have explored several ways of cleansing my crystals some techniques are highly therapeutic for my own spirit as they are for my crystals. From getting some relaxation & meditation during the full moon, or enjoying a nice mantra sound, carrying some of my crystals during spiritual retreats, laying them out on a sunny beach, or letting them be in sunlight/moonlight often are some fun methods for cleansing and charging my crystals to get both me and my crystals in the highest, purified spirits.

Use your crystals as often as needed. Your crystal’s energy can get congested, heavy and dull, just like your own. So be sure to do a periodic crystal cleansing to get the most out of your continued work with your stone.

6 Simple Methods for Cleansing & Charging Your Crystals

1.Sunlight or Moonlight Spa

As a healer when you feel the intensity of energy becoming less from your crystals or it appears heavy it is time to cleanse and recharge. They may even appear as dull and not as vibrant it is a sign let them connect with nature. Let your crystals bathe outside in light of the sun or moon for at least 4 -6 hours. Especially with the large crystals in your home, although it can be a process, make sure that you place them outside to clear and recharge at least once a month.

Be gently aware of the nature devas in the light, earth and air surrounding the crystals and invoke them to cleanse your crystals thoroughly. You can put a salt water bowl to absorb any dirty energy expelled by the crystals.

2 Visualisation & Meditation

Light a candle and place it in the middle of your crystals. After completing your meditation use the excess energy to purify and recharge your crystals. With the intention of cleansing or charging, picture pure white light emanating from your hands and passing through the crystals. Sit in a clear and centered state, tune into your crystal, and simply ask it to clear or charge, depending on what you feel is needed.

3.Using Crystals to Cleanse Crystals (Quartz or Selenite)

You can pair your crystals with either a selenite or quartz crystal! Both of these crystals have the unique ability to cleanse, recharge and purify the energy of other crystals, without diminishing their own energy. Lay your crystals and tumbled stones on a piece of Clear quartz or a selenite charging plate for 6 -8 hours. Place your jewelry on a large crystal cluster every night and next morning they will be energized to wear and work with you.

4.Smudge and Clear your Crystals

Not only will burning Sage, Frankincense, and Sandal wood , Lavender make your home smell great and purify it, they’ll have your crystals feeling great too. Immerse your crystals in the sacred smoke until it seems to come back to life. This is likely the best option for larger, harder to pick up crystals. Simply use your a feather or your hand to waft the smoke over and around the crystal.

You can use natural incense sticks to smudge (3-5-7)

5.Mantra Therapy

Use the sacred chants of ‘OM’ to cleanse your crystals, sound bath can help the dirty energy within the crystals to disintegrate. Use 108 Om Chants and ring the bells a couple of times to cleanse the space around the crystals. You can place a saltwater bowl also to absorb the dirty energy.

6. Allow Crystals to Sleep in the Mother Earth

We could all use an energetic reset in nature every now and then. To give your crystal that revitalizing pleasure, place it on the soil or even bury it within the Earth for 24 hours.

Note: make sure you are mindful when placing certain crystals in water; many of the softer ones that are salt-based will dissolve when they get wet.
