CRYSTAL AND GEMSTONE POWER
theories but one of the most popular is that all crystals have
the capacity to absorb energies, emotions & knowledge. The
variety in their composition means that each type absorbs
different powers & these powers are then naturally imparted to
the user or wearer.
How do you use Crystals & Gemstones? Firstly it is very
important to cleanse your newly acquired crystal or gemstone
even if you found it. This is basically to remove any influences
from anyone else who has handled the stone. There is no right
or wrong way to cleanse your stone & its best to experiment
with different methods until you find one that is right for you.
To cleanse your stones wash each stone separately. If you plan
to leave them to soak then use a separate container of water
for each stone & please be sure to use clean water for each
stone. This may seem obvious to some but you’d be surprised
how many people acquire several stones at once & just put
them all to soak together in a single container. It’s also
important to use a natural container not one made of plastic!
You may then wish to recharge your stone and this involves
using the power of the earth, sun & moon. I rinse my stones
under running tap water then bury them in some earth, (a
plant pot will do) for at least a day, so that they may receive
earth energies. I then soak them overnight in tap water with a
sprinkle of sea salt followed by placing them outside in
sunlight so that they may get re-charged or re-energised by
the sun. EVERY full moon I place my stones outside so that
they may also receive energy from the moon. Obviously, if I’ve
acquired a new stone & the next full moon is a long way off,
they don’t get placed outside for moon energies immediately.
It is then important to personalise your stone & get to know it.
Take the time to hold each stone and feel it with your hands
so that you may become attuned with it.
Should you share your Crystals & Gemstones? Many people do
not allow anyone else to touch or handle their stones and I too
have some some “special” stones that only I touch. However, I
have a large wooden bowl on my coffee table and it always
attracts attention from visitors who are often drawn to picking
up a stone and rolling it in their hand, like a stress ball. I don’t
have a problem with this as I like to think that they may “need”
something form whatever stone they’ve chosen.

have a problem with this as I like to think that they may “need”
something form whatever stone they’ve subconsciously
chosen. My children are also constantly “playing” with my
stones and sometimes ask to take a certain stone to bed with
them. This is why I periodically repeat the cleansing process
and recharge my stones. Having said that, it is important that
you treat your stones with respect, care and consideration.
Tumblestones and smaller pieces are great for carrying with
you each day or make excellent gifts for friends and loved
ones. I have a selection of stones that I change and carry
according to my feelings or requirements on a particular day. I
also have several pieces of jewellery containing different
stones and again change these to suit my needs. For example I
may wear a particular stone, or have one close by, whilst
writing my E-Books but if I’m planning a romantic evening
with my husband then I’ll be sure to change the stones later in
the evening.
There are numerous ways to use your stones – You can place
them under your pillow or on a bedside cabinet so you can
absorb their influences whilst you sleep. If you have an ailing
plant place some crystals around it or soak a stone in water
overnight and use it to water the plant the following day. Talk
to your stones, carry them with you, get to know them and feel
their energies working for you and then use them however you
feel is most appropriate.
