Greetings!
The leaves are turning here on my mountain in Vermont as I put
to bed this third issue of our second year of Crystal Resonance
Magazine. Beyond the changing season and the smell of apples,
other things are in the air as well. I'm packing my bags and boxes
and preparing to move Crystal Resonance Magazine and Crystalis
Institute across the country to Sedona, Arizona!
The Multiverse works in mysterious ways. Just prior to my
recent teaching trip to Sedona the doors abruptly slammed shut
on my proposed move to Hawaii, which I had been planning for
almost two years. With yet another opportunity there dissolving,
it became abundantly clear that Someone had other plans for me.
As is always the case when one door closes, another opened. While teaching my workshop and visiting the crystal and
metaphysical stores to write the article in this issue, I was
clearly reminded of why I love Sedona. Beyond the commercial
aspects, it is still essentially a place where people go to work on
themselves, to learn and to grow. Sometimes that work is messy.
Sometimes its powerfully elevating. It is always transformational.
I have spent a lot of time in Sedona over the years, but I did not
think I would ever be living there. But, when the Multiverse says,
"jump", you jump. The Multiverse has spoken and I'm packing my
bags! I'm trusting I'll land where and when It has intended for me
to be. Like the Fool in the tarot, I've got my bag over my shoulder,
my little dog at my heels, and I'm whistling as I trust the Divine to
help me to fly.
The moral of this tale is that no matter how clear you are on
your intended goals, always keep in mind that you are a cocreator, and the other co-creator in that mix knows the plan better
than you do! Remain flexible, and be ready to jump when the
Multiverse changes the plan. It's all good!
Crystal Shopping In
SedonA
By Naisha Ahsian
Sedona, Arizona is known the world over as a center for spirituality and amazing natural power
and beauty. For over 10,000 years, it has been used as a sacred area for ritual, prayer and vision quest
by the many First Nations People that have called the surrounding areas home. The area of Sedona
itself was considered to be too powerful and sacred for daily living. It was, even many thousands of
years ago, a destination spot for deep inner work. People travelled here for vision quest, prayer and
purification; as they still do today.

The energies of the Earth here are pronounced
and varied, offering vortices of stimulating and
uplifting energy, and those that facilitate deep
inward reflection and exploration. Even people
who don't believe in the more mystical aspects
of Sedona's legends admit that this area has
something going on. Over four million people
pass through Sedona each year, drawn by the
stunning natural beauty of the huge red rock
formations that were carved eons ago by sea,
and later by rain and wind. Its proximity to
the Grand Canyon and Mogollan Rim, and its
location within the Coconino National Forest,
make it a convenient stop for the many seekers
of natural beauty that flock to this part of north
central Arizona.
Some of these seekers are looking for more
than just pretty snapshots of their vacation. They
come to Sedona seeking healing, deeper self
knowledge, and a greater sense of connection
with the Earth and with Spirit. Sedona has been
the New Age movement's equivilent of Mecca
since the early 1980's. It has gone through many
permutations over those years, with the human
energy changing dramatically as people come

here to heal and be healed. However, the energy
of the Earth itself here is a constant, regardless
of what the tiny humans upon it are doing. This
is the blessing of Sedona, and its continued
promise to visitors who make pilgramage to this
sacred area of land. The concentration of healers
and spiritualists that make Sedona their home
is a testament to the area's intensely expansive
energies, which are impervious to human activity
and are centered deep within the planet. Here,
you can find almost any healing and spiritual
modality under the sun, from traditional somatic
therapies to a rainbow of vibrational healing
offerings. And then, there are the crystals!
Sedona and West Sedona have many great
crystal shops, where you can find treasures large
and small. When I first began coming to Sedona
in the late 1980's, there were only a couple of
crystal stores where I prowled, finding things I
had never heard or dreamed of. Later on, when
I began showing at the Tucson Gem & Mineral
Show each February, I would escape after the
show (or even during) and head up to Sedona to
recharge my drained batteries. Today, it is still a
crystal lover's paradise, with the opportunity to
easily fill a couple of days browsing the various
stores in Uptown and West Sedona.
Many of the stores have been here for years
and have amassed beautiful collections of larger
specimens that you can enjoy (even if you can't
afford them!), as well as smaller pieces for healing
and meditation work. One of the best parts of
crystal shopping in Sedona is that you can be sure
that the store owners and staff are sympathetic
to the special needs of crystal healers and those
using stones for their personal growth. They,
too, are here for Sedona's spiritual energies!
There are two distinct areas in Sedona for crystal
shopping; Uptown and West Sedona. The main
road through both West Sedona and Uptown is State Route 89A. Off 89A you can find the powerful
vortex areas of Boynton Canyon, Secret Canyon, Red Rock Crossing, and Airport Mesa. As you come
into the Uptown area, you can take highway 179 down the hill for more great shopping, or to visit the
vortex areas of Schnebly Hill, Chapel Hill, Cathedral Rock, and Bell Rock.

We'll begin our crystal shopping excursion in Uptown, where you can walk between excellent crystal
shops while taking in the gorgeous red rock views toward the vortex area of Schnebly Hill.
Just off the main street (State Route 89A)
on Jordan Road is Infinite Light Healing
Studies Center and one of its stores, Peace
Place Gifts.
You may have seen ads for Infinite Light
Healing Studies Center and Peace Place Gifts in
previous issues of Crystal Resonance Magazine.
In addition to magnificent crystals that are
geared toward crystal healing, they also provide
an incredible array of quartz singing bowls and
other healing tools. Peace Place is also home to
the Reiki Center of Sedona, offering training in
several Reiki traditions, as well as Reiki Crystal
Healing, sound healing and Reiki drumming.
They also offer many services and treatments in
their treatment center, including crystal healing.
It was here that I conducted a recent Primus
Activation Healing Technique Certification
Workshop. Our group was truly blessed to have
such a beautiful and, well, peaceful place to do our
heart-centered work! One of my favorite aspects
of the store and center are the many huge crystals
throughout the courtyard, workshop space and
store. These amazing stones are freely accessible,
and you can touch, resonate, and meditate with
them to your heart's content!
Peace Place Gifts also offers many of their
products via online shopping at their website.

A block away, on the main street in Uptown are
the Sedona Crystal Vortex stores, located at
Canyon Breeze, Sedona Center, 300 and 270 N.
State Route 89A. Having two stores on the same
street allows Sedona Crystal Vortex to offer a
broad range of stones, including everything from
tumbled stones to large pieces for your healing
space, with a broad price range to suit everyone
from the crystal newbie to the confirmed addict.
The very friendly staff members I spoke with
informed me that there is a "hands on" policy in
the store, which encourages visitors to handle
the stones and to get to know them before
purchasing. There is information available on
each stone, to help you find just the right mineral
for your needs.
The two stores also offer psychic readings and
channeling services. One of the readers offers
consultations in Japanese, and phone readings
can also be arranged.
The treatments offered through the store
include a variety of Massage , Reiki and other
energy balancing techniques.

300 & 270 N. State Route 89A
Just across the main street from the Sedona
Crystal Vortex shops is Spiritstone. Spiritstone
offers a different focus in each of their three stores
in Uptown. Their main crystal store is located at
250 N. State Route 89A, next to the Fudge shop.
This enriches your crystal shopping experience
with the wafting scents of chocolate fudge. Need
I say more?
This store claims to have "the best prices in
the Universe". Honestly, I didn't do any price
comparisons, so I can't speak to that claim, but
I can say that they have a lovely collection of
stones here, with the huge Uruguayan amethyst
cathedrals beaming their energy throughout the
space. This store also offers Sedona Vortex Tours,
psychic services, and massage and energy work,
and online shopping for stones is also available.

The other two stores are located in the Sacajawea
Plaza at 301 North State Route 89A. One of these
stores offers crystals and gifts, and the other
focuses on large collector mineral specimens
and Native American jewelry.

From the main street in Uptown, we now head
back toward West Sedona. At the first traffic
circle, exit onto Highway 179 and head down
the hill. On your right will be Tlaquepaque
Arts & Crafts Village, and on the left will be
our next stop at Crystal Enlightenment on
the Creek and the Crystal & Sound Healing
Center.
Crystal Enlightenment on the Creek offers a
variety of massage, vibrational healing and
psychic services, and aura photos. They also
offer great stones, of course, with an interesting
variety appropriate for healing work. I found
some beautiful Creedite here, which is one of
my current favorites for my inner work.
In the back of the building is a meditation
garden with poweful (and huge!) crystals, where
you can sit and relax while listening to the sound
of Oak Creek, commune with your favorite new
stone friend, or tune into the energies of the
nearby Schnebly Hill Vortex.

321 State Hwy 179
Next door is the Center for the New Age.
This Sedona landmark is a department store of
New Age goodies. Each room has a different
focus. There is an extensive bookstore, a sacred
statuary area with imported Gods & Goddesses,
and rooms of healing crystals and jewelry.
Through the Center for the New Age, you can
book a UFO nightwatch tour or Vortex tour if
you've done too much crystal shopping and want
to get out and enjoy more of Sedona's magic.
Center for the New Age has the largest number of
on-site psychics of any store I visited. This center
hosts many events, classes, evening presentations
and other educational opportunities in addition
to the shopping opportunities, which abound
here. Online shopping is also available.

Heading into West Sedona from Uptown,
you'll see Stone Age on your left at 1385 W.
State Route 89A. This is the sister shop to Stone
Age on High Street in Glastonbury, England.
You can definitely sense the Glastonbury and
Arthurian vibe here!
The store specializes in Angel and Fairy items,
and even features a beautiful fairy garden in
the back of the store, where fairy statues and
art peek out through the foliage. There is a
good selection of magical and transformational
jewelry, perfect to wear while you're doing
sessions. Their selection of crystals and stones
is smaller, but it is select and focused on healing
and magical work. Healing sessions, massage
and psychic consultations are also available.
Online shopping is also available.
www.stoneagesedona.com
1385 W. State Route 89A
Crystal Magic is a broad spectrum store,
with many gift items, statuary, candles, incense
and other goodies; but it is best known for its
crystals. You can find unusual gem treasures
in the back room if you're willing to search for
them, and often you can find things you didn't
even know existed!
The front of the store has some lovely specimens
of the more popular and better known varieties
of minerals, as well as some lovely larger pieces
appropriate for your healing room.
Crystal Magic doesn't have a website, so you
will have to actually check them out in person.
It's worth it to stop in if you're in town!

Ph: 928.282.1622
Believe it or not, this isn't all! There are more stores that I didn't cover here because I didn't get a
chance to visit, or didn't get a response from the owners, or just plain don't know about them. However,
this will give you a taste for some of the amazing crystal shopping you can experience on your next
visit to Sedona!
Heal the Shadow
Using Crystals and Stones
by Robert Coleman
© 2014 Robert Coleman. All Rights Reserved.
Many of us love the blissful feelings and celestial experiences that can occur when we use crystals as
connections to higher vibratory realms. However, we are also all human beings enmeshed in lives that
may present many problems to us, including our health, relationships, financial prosperity, and other
areas. We are here in the rough-and-tumble physical world to develop a mastery of life’s experiences,
not to run away from them.
What we refer to as the “Shadow” simply means the challenging, painful, and
denied aspects of ourselves that we would really rather not have to contend
with. The Shadow develops from unacknowledged and repressed feelings
such as anger over a quarrel or feelings of shame or low self-esteem. It may
also contain deeply repressed traumatic experiences.
The Shadow is where we hide aspects of ourselves that are true to our nature
but are difficult for us to acknowledge. Societal, family, religious, and cultural
belief structures can actively discourage us from genuinely experiencing
ourselves as we are, or accepting the aspects of ourselves that don’t fit neatly into
predetermined boxes. These aspects can literally become “demonized” and
cast into the recesses of our Shadow, where they remain hidden but continue
to be active in our lives. These “Shadow Selves” can manifest in our lives as
failures, conflicts, obsessions, addictions, and other saboteurs.
It is important to address the Shadow because many of our greatest life challenges emanate directly
from this realm. Chronic problems and health issues that never seem to resolve, constant relationship
and family issues, and recurring business failures all point directly to the Shadow. In fact, because
our deeper spiritual selves are constantly establishing equilibrium, you will find the contents of your
Shadow playing out metaphorically over and over again in the problems you face in the world. These
are signposts inviting you to take action and step into your own Shadow.
Clearing the Shadow can be a daunting task and, if mental, emotional, or physical symptoms are
severe, should involve the assistance of qualified health professionals. The key is to take a mindful
approach when processing somebody’s Shadow, including your own.
Shadow Stones
From a stone-worker’s perspective, stones to engage with and heal the Shadow fall into four categories:
1. Stones of grounding and absorption- examples are obsidian, black tourmaline, and smoky quartz
2. Stones of calming, healing, and soothing- examples are blue calcite, seraphinite, and amazonite
3. Stones of stimulation- including clear quartz, moldavite, labradorite
4. Stones of realization and cognition- including dendritic agate, Siberian blue quartz, honey or
yellow calcite
Use the stones for specific purposes according to their talents. You don’t
need to use them all in every session. Stones may also cross categories: for
example Siberian blue quartz can be very stimulating while also enhancing
the intellect. Remember, stones can be highly subjective in the responses
they evoke; always key off of the client’s (or your own) feelings when
deciding which stones to use. And don’t forget to energetically clear your
stones often!
To conduct Shadow Healing, maintain a sustained intention to access
and release your client’s Shadow at all times. Use your stones to stimulate,
clear, soothe, or heal according to the needs of the session. Shadow sessions
should accomplish work and be productive. If you find yourself backing
off from engaging intense or difficult content with your client, conducting
Shadow sessions may not be for you. Your intention should always be to bring the hidden and
repressed into the light where it can be accepted and transformed.
When working with the Shadow, your client may experience mild to extreme emotional releases;
be ready for these. Sometimes sessions can take a long time; be patient. Avoid ending sessions early
in a way that leaves your client in a fog or emotionally distressed. Get them through it. Never judge
your client, always accept whatever your client experiences, and most importantly, you absolutely
must hold the space for your client and keep them safe.
Are you primarily interested in gently healing your client’s Shadow?
If so, seraphinite or even rose quartz may be all that you need. These
stones will rarely overstimulate your client, instead gently guiding them
to experience their emotions and release them in their own time.
A more adventurous (and risky) approach would be to first stimulate
the client with a stone such as moldavite, and then as the client’s Shadow
really gets moving, use a stone such as smoky quartz to draw the released
energies and emotions away from the client. You could even include
stones of realization and cognition to assist the client in processing and
understanding their experience. I love dendritic agate for this purpose
due to its very pragmatic and practical assistance.
When you are conducting Shadow healing on yourself or others using
stones, bear in mind that less may be more. Your client is holding their
Shadow at bay because it may contain substantial suffering. Respect this,
and always process somewhat lighter than you think is necessary. If you send your client in too deep,
they will bog down and you will have work on your hands to get them back in balance.
Although not a simple task, Shadow healing is a great work; you are moving the person through
the layers of illusion and unconsciousness that fetter their Spirit and cause them to think less of
themselves than they really are. It is an act of tremendous kindness to be willing to stand with a
person as they face their challenges head-on. The rewards can be dramatic and life-changing.
Good for you for taking it on!

Networking Earth
with the Crystal Grid Network
by Rachel Miller
©2014 Rachel Miller. All Rights Reserved.
The Crystal Grid Network is an online space for crystal and energy
workers across the earth to create simultaneous crystal grids, sending
light wherever it is needed. We schedule crystal grids each month,
connecting our efforts to create a resonant and awakened Living
Crystal Grid. As the founder of The Crystal Grid Network, I would
like to share with you the background to its recent launch and some
of the basics of creating a really strong, resonant crystal grid.
I recently completed the Becoming a Human Crystal Program
through Crystalis Institute, which has been invaluable in helping
me develop a much deeper relationship with my crystal and mineral
companions. I found that the more I worked with them, the easier
I was able to hear them, and to understand what they needed from
me. Over the last months I have found that they want to be involved. They seem to want to work with
us co-creatively, and they really enjoy participating in crystal grids and running energy together.
The incredible work of the Global Coherence Initiative (http://www.glcoherence.org) has proven that
it is possible for people across the earth to come together and work toward a common goal – sending
heart coherent love and light to wherever it is needed across the earth. It is my hope that the time is right
for us to consciously work together; and together create a globally connected ‘Living Crystal Grid’.
It’s really easy to create your own crystal grid – here are ‘8 Easy Steps’ to help you get started:
How to Create a Crystal Grid
1. Setting a Clear Intention
When creating a crystal grid it’s important to set a clear intention
for the purpose of the grid:
<< As you build and activate your grid, think about what
positive effect you would like your grid to have.
2. Selecting Your Crystals
Choose the crystals and stones you would like to include in your
grid:
<< It’s a good idea to ask your crystals who would like to
participate. They will guide you to select the right stones. Sometimes they may appear in your
mind as an image, or your hand might be drawn to the stones that want to ‘join in’.
<You
<
could research which crystals and stones might be helpful in supporting the intention of
your grid and include those?
3.Decide where to Build your Grid
Choose a quiet place for the grid:
<Think
<
about whether you would like to build the grid in your
home, or whether you might like to create a grid outdoors; for
example, in your garden, a woodland or even on a beach.
<Remember
<
that some minerals are water-soluble and will
begin to dissolve if they get wet (selenite & hanksite). So if
you’re going to use water-soluble minerals in an outdoor grid,
make sure its not going to rain!
4. Placing the Crystals
Before you begin placing your crystals, you might want to create ‘sacred space’ by saying a few words
to the earth, the ancestors, or whomever you feel you would like to honor and guide you. You may
choose to use a sage smudge stick to clear the space of any vibrational ‘baggage’, and to help you center
yourself first:
<Allow
<
yourself to be guided in placing the crystals. Do you want to have a central crystal with
other crystals channeling energy toward it, or away from it? Check out our website for other
crystal grid pattern ideas.
<Remember
<
that subtle energy runs through ‘terminated’ crystals, following their initial growth
pattern. So for example a crystal with a natural point will run energy toward its point - its
‘termination.’
5. Using a Pendulum
Once you have placed all the crystals you want to use in the grid you may choose to use a pendulum to
check that the stones and crystals are in the best place. You can do this by asking the pendulum simple
questions with a yes/no answer:
<Are
< the crystals in this grid placed correctly?
<Does
<
this stone need to be moved…or removed?
6. Clearing your Grid
It can be useful to clear the crystals and stones in your grid using sound vibration:
<You
<
can use Singing Bowls, Crystal Pyramids a 528hz tuning fork or other tools you have
which create a positive and resonant sound vibration.
<Some
<
people find that using a smudge stick is a good way to clear crystals.
7. Activating your Grid
Many crystal workers like to connect each crystal within the grid energetically using a crystal wand
by drawing energy lines between the crystals in the grid:
<Reiki
<
is a good way to activate your grid.
<Some
<
of us feel that sound vibration can help the crystals in the grid harmonize and create a
resonant pattern. You can experiment with any of the sound tools mentioned above to activate
your grid.
8. Electromagnetic Fields
If the crystals and stones in your grid have been placed effectively, it will generate its own electromagnetic
field. Have fun using dowsing rods to find the edge of any electromagnetic field:
<If
< your grid is running energy successfully, you should be able to find the edge of its
electromagnetic field quite quickly. Highly resonant grids can have a very large field many feet
from the edge of the grid.
<Allow
<
your grid to run energy for some time. Try listening to the crystals on when they are
ready to be removed from the grid, or when the grid should be disbanded.
Be confident in your own intuition. If something doesn’t work for you first time, you can always modify
your practice. Do whatever feels right!
Why Create a Crystal Grid:
Truly we could think of many more reasons, but we have gathered up our top 6 to encourage you to
build a Crystal Grid.
<1.
< In the same way that Reiki and Healing Touch can produce distance-therapeutic effects,
there is every possibility that crystals and crystal grids can do the same.
<2.
< If we work together as global citizens of the earth, there is every possibility that combined;
we can have highly positive effects.
<3.
< By creating a crystal grid, we are actively participating in the process of co-creation with
the crystal and mineral kingdom.
<4.
< If we practice creating strong resonant crystal grids together, whenever there is an urgent
need for the earth, its living systems or its people to receive energy and light (during natural
disasters or heightened states of conflict), we may be able to send that energy collectively.
<5.
< The creation of a crystal grid is a moment of celebration - we are alive on this beautiful
planet, and engaging in a co-creative practice with crystals and minerals.
<6.
< For joy, because it feels good!
We would love to hear how well your grid worked and see photos of your beautiful creations! Please

The Accidental Crystal Gridder
by Deb Paradise aka Tattood Buddhist

This is a story of guidance, and willingness – of messages
received, and surrender to what comes after. Have you ever
had some kind of idea or thought or inspiration that you did not
know what to do with, but couldn’t let it go?
I was quite suddenly yanked into a Healing vocation about 25
years ago -- first as an energy worker, a massage therapist, and
then Teacher, Facilitator, and advice column writer. I have been
connected to, and working with, Crystals and Stones for most of
my life. They mysteriously came to me from a myriad of places.
I was unexpectedly gifted a huge Rose Quartz, a big chunk of
Green Calcite, a rarified Dolomite and Calcite combo, and a
gorgeous Amethyst slab. A woman I had never met came to the
Crystal grid for Clarity. July 2014.
center where I worked. She handed me a beautiful Clear Quartz
Generator and said “I have brought you this crystal. I was told to bring it to you!” All my life, crystals
have showed up for me at the most unpredictable moments! But they were always in the background
of my work – not a primary healing modality.
Well, to the point—ha-- the POINT, get it? A few years ago I was awakened from a deep sleep by
Spirit. A sacred symbol was revealed to me. I was instructed to use for my business. When the timing
aligned, I was to create a Crystal Grid Cloth with this symbol as the grid pattern. At that time, I did
not even know what a Crystal Grid Cloth was. I was shown how it radiates the energy of Love and
Healing frequencies that are especially beneficial to the world at this time. The symbol itself creates
a “generative pulse” that transmits healing energy and intentions in both Sending and Receiving
states. Its frequencies and resonance work from the Atomic level and specifically boost the energies
of crystals.
I recorded the symbol in my journal and frankly, forgot about it. After
a while, it began to insist itself upon my awareness. Things began to
line up to bring this symbol forward. I met people and found resources
easily, in perfect order and timing. It was clear that an unseen force
was guiding me. As soon as I began to use it in my business, people
were commenting on it and talking about its effect on them. At the
beginning of this year, the “Atomic Boost Crystal Grid Cloth” was born.
A friend’s generous love and support gave me the confidence to finally
begin to announce and demonstrate my cloth. My friend on the Wisdom & Intuition Network suggested,
“Deb, why don’t you change your radio show to be about Crystal Activations?” At that moment the
energy opened up with a great big whoosh, and here I am!
I have always used crystals in teaching meditation and doing
healing work. I have lived with my crystals, carried them,
and taught others about them. But still, they were more of a
personal tool for me rather than a primary modality. Since I
began this “mission” for Spirit, my relationship with crystals has
deepened exponentially. Now, there is so much more specificity
in the communication and flow of energy. I work directly and
intimately with crystals every day. I love working directly with
my clients with crystals and the grid work has opened up a whole
Grid for group harmony.
new dimension in healing -- a path to intentional manifesting,
distance healing and a way to offer evolutionary global support. I feel that the crystals have always
held me in their realm, waiting until the time was right to bring me deeper by giving me a very
amazing tool to work with.
Last Spring was my first Crystal Grid Healing event. It was a huge success.
Now, I offer Free, once-a-month, 7 Day Healing Events. Each month,
while in connection with Spirit I set a grid, with a specific Intention. Folks
register, and each individual’s name is read onto the Grid and placed into
the Crystal Healing Bowl. There is a special event page with photos of the
grid and crystals, affirmations, channeled messages and inspirations about
the Intention for everyone to access and work with.
Every step is a step into the unknown. My story of listening to guidance and
surrendering to the flow of my life is still unfolding. This is, for me, a timely
reminder that, when it is aligned for you, the way will open. Sometimes
a crystal will just fall into your hands, so be open and ready to receive. If

The violet Flame and Sound
My favorite Ways to Clear Crystals
by Tina Marie Christensen
© 2014 Tina Marie Christensen. All Rights Reserved.
Clearing and cleansing crystals is an act of love for me. It’s like feeding my cats really yummy
chicken breast with sweet potato, or dancing and singing with the potted ficus in our living room.
The act of clearing crystals feels not only deeply nourishing and supportive to my crystal partners,
it also helps deepen my connection with them. Let’s begin!
The Setting
I prefer doing this process outdoors, where energy can flow freely on the breeze, and Gaia can have
direct access to the stones as well. However, it’s not necessary! And certainly during the winter
months weather doesn’t always permit doing this outside.
The Sound
I have a Tibetan bell and dorje that I use to clear
the crystals. The bell chimes to the note F#, which
resonates to the frequencies of peace, balance, and
harmony—perfect qualities for the stones I interact
with. I place the stones on a terra cotta plant saucer
(they can also be placed directly on the grass/ground)
and after a few deep, grounding breaths, I chime the
bell three times over the crystals. The initial rush of
energy this creates often leaves me breathless, but in a
good, whoa-that’s-really-cleared kind of way.
The Violet Flame
Following the clearing with the bell, I call on Saint Germaine, who is an ascended master and keeper
of the Violet Flame. I splay my hands over the crystals and ask Saint Germaine and the Violet Flame
to clear, cleanse, transmute, and transform any residual lower or negative vibrations from all levels
of the stones. All of the stones I have used the Violet Flame on love this! It’s like an energetic spa
bath for them, and I feel that even self-clearing stones like selenite can benefit from an occasional
visit to the Violet Flame spa. If you have concerns about using the Violet Flame on certain crystals,
then I would just ask the crystals if it’s okay. If it feels constrictive to move forward with it, then I
wouldn’t. If it feels like an open path, then go for it. Once I feel a ‘click’ or a sense of completion
with the cleansing, I then thank Saint Germaine and dissolve or release the Violet Flame.
The Divine Love Infusion
I work with many angels, archangels, and ascended
masters who I collectively call my Seraphim Symphony.
For the final part of this process, aka the icing on the
crystal cake, I call on a few archangels from the Seraphim
Symphony to team up with me to infuse the crystals with
divine love. The archangels I call on are:
-Archangel Gabrielle: for joy and love
-Archangel Michael: for power and purpose
-Archangel Raphael: for wellness and vitality
-Archangel Jophiel: for creative inspiration
-Archangel Sandalphon: for his supportive link with Gaia and stones
This final step in the process of clearing and cleansing crystals is a really beautiful, really powerful
heart-centered action. Again splaying my hands over or around the crystals, I call on the archangels
and ask them to assist me in infusing the stones with divine love. At this point the energy typically
rises like a magnificent wave from my heart and the presence of the archangels, and then wanes like a
tide gently rolling out to sea. The waning feeling is when I know the process is complete.
And that’s it! The crystals are now quite resonant with their highest frequencies and infused with
divine love. They are ready for anything!

4 Commonly Mis-Diagnosed Thyroid Illnesses
and How to Support Them with Healing Crystals
by Ashley Leavy
© 2014 Ashley Leavy. All Rights Reserved.
Medical experts agree that thyroid conditions seem to be on the rise. The causes, although still uncertain
for sure, are thought to be linked to a variety of triggers such as environmental toxins and pollution,
an increase in auto-immune diseases, radiation exposure, an increase in viral and bacterial illnesses
linked to thyroid disease, smoking, gluten intolerance, and eating too many foods with high soy or
iodine content.
With so many people being affected by thyroid conditions, it is imperative that healers and energy
workers know how to help energetically support this growing health crisis. Crystal healing is a great
way to complement and enhance the treatment you are receiving from your physician. For most people,
treatment will be an ongoing process because most thyroid conditions are chronic issues and are not
reversible. Crystals can be used to balance the energy relating to the condition itself (as well as the
outward symptoms), by working to bring your energy body into alignment, while the physical body is
being treated by your physician. This combination of traditional and alternative approaches to healing
will help to heal your whole self, both the energetic and physical bodies, so that you receive the greatest
possible benefit.
The four most common thyroid disorders are Hashimoto’s Disease (the most common cause of
hypothyroidism - under active thyroid), Grave’s Disease (the most common cause of hyperthyroidism
- over active thyroid), goiter (enlarged thyroid), and thyroid nodules (cancerous or non-cancerous
growths on the thyroid). Since each of these conditions has different symptoms and causes, the crystals
used to support you will vary.
Hashimoto’s Disease & Under-Active Thyroid:
Because Hashimoto’s Disease is an auto-immune disease, Carnelian or Serpentine can be used to
balance the energy of your immune system. Try wearing a piece of Carnelian or Serpentine jewelry
(especially a pendant on a short chain near the thyroid gland) to get the immune system back into
alignment so that it no longer disrupts thyroid function. The pendant should be worn continuously
and should be cleansed regularly, at least once per week, to ensure maximum benefit to your immune
system. Amber, Bloodstone, Clear Calcite, Orange Calcite, Tangerine Calcite, Lapis Lazuli, Malachite,
Black Tourmaline, Turquoise, and Vanadinite have also been known to balance the energy of the immune
system so they would make good alternative choices to the Carnelian or Serpentine.
The symptoms of Hashimoto’s Disease are quite varied and often mimic symptoms associated with
other health problems. Fatigue, ranging from mild to severe, and sleepiness are very common in people
with Hashimoto’s Disease. Getting your immune system back into balance will often help reduce the
fatigue associated with this condition, so using the Carnelian or Serpentine, as described above, is a
great way to help support the you if you are experiencing chronic fatigue. However, for those days when
you feel particularly sluggish, try using a piece of Ruby or Garnet (carried in your pocket) as a quick
and easy pick-me-up. Citrine has also been shown to be beneficial for balancing the energy related to
chronic fatigue and tiredness, so it would make a good alternative choice to the more expensive Ruby
or Garnet stones.
Because Hashimoto’s patients feel constantly run-down due to fatigue, depression is a common
secondary symptom of the disease. Orange Calcite, Yellow Fluorite, Lapis Lazuli, Fire Opal, Pyrite,
Lithium Quartz, Rutilated Quartz, and Tiger’s Eye (Blue, Golden, or Red) have all been used successfully
for energetic support of those suffering from depression and its associated symptoms. You may try
holding one of these stones over your Sacral Chakra (your emotional center) or over your Solar Plexus
Chakra (the center where negative emotion is most commonly stored) for 15 minutes per day, everyday,
for at least three to four weeks. Be sure to speak with your physician about treatment options for your
depression (especially if it is moderate to severe). Instead of holding the stone over the chakra centers,
meditating with your chosen crystal can also help you to work through your depression. Make yourself
comfortable in a place where you will not be disturbed and hold the crystal in your hands. Take a deep
breath in and exhale gently. As you exhale, feel yourself releasing any feelings or emotions that are not
for your highest good. Continue to breathe in and out, releasing any unwanted energy as you exhale,
until all negative emotion has been released. Take another deep breath in and feel the energy of your
crystal begin to enter your physical body. It fills you up with positive energy. Continue to breathe in and
out, allowing the positive energy from the crystal to expand outward, until it fills your entire physical
body. Continue this breathing with your crystal, feeling the positive energy begin to expand out into
your energy field, until it has filled your entire aura with positive, healing energy. When you feel ready
you can slowly open your eyes, wiggle your toes, and drink a glass of water to ground yourself.
Constipation is a more minor side-effect of Hashimoto’s Disease, but can be quite uncomfortable if
it is chronic. To get things moving again, try using an Apricot Botswana Agate. You can hold the stone
over your belly for 2-3 minutes before and after each meal time. You may even want to try moving it
in small circles while holding the intention to ease discomfort and regulate your system. Additionally,
you may want to try stones associated with healthy digestion such as Ametrine, Golden Calcite, Honey
Calcite, Carnelian, Citrine, Yellow Fluorite, Red Garnet, Gaspeite, Pink Heulandite, Red Jasper, Apple
Aura Quartz, Papaya Quartz, Sunstone, Imperial Golden Topaz, or Green Zoisite.
Dry skin and hair are also commonly associated with Hashimoto’s Disease. Green Aventurine is useful
for alleviating skin problems in general, as are Brazilianite and Rainbow Fluorite. Pink Calcite, Pink
Chalcedony, & Peach Stilbite may also prove useful for returning skin or hair to its normal, healthy
appearance.
Women with Hashimoto’s Disease may also suffer from heavy or irregular menstrual periods.
Citrine, Peach Moonstone, Rainbow Moonstone, and White Moonstone can help energetically regulate
menstruation. Wearing a gemstone bracelet made from one of these stones is a simple way to help keep
your body on a regular cycle. It’s best to wear the bracelet all the time (if possible), but wearing it at
least during the time of your cycle (starting a few days before it begins and continuing to wear it until
a few days after it has ended) is necessary for effective results.
Heavy menstruation can sometimes lead to anemia (iron deficiency) which can cause feelings of
coldness, even when others are warm and comfortable. It can be uncomfortable and irritating to feel
constantly cold in your body. Green Apatite, Hematite, and Green Kyanite can energetically aid your
body's ability to absorb and use appropriate levels of iron in the body (reducing the anemia and thus,
reducing the coldness felt in the body). If coldness is felt, but your iron levels are shown to be normal,
Clear Fluorite may be used to help warm your body when you are feeling cold.
Goiter is also sometimes associated with Hashimoto’s Disease. See the “Thyroid Goiter & Enlarged
Thyroid” section below for more information about supporting thyroid goiter with crystals.
Grave’s Disease & Over-Active Thyroid:
Similar to Hashimoto’s Disease, the symptoms of Grave’s Disease are quite varied and often mimic
symptoms associated with other health problems.
Anxiety and nervousness are common symptoms of Grave’s Disease. I have helped emotionally support
many clients with anxiety problems over the years and the two stones that seem to work best for most
people are Aquamarine and Lepidolite. Having a small “touchstone” in your pocket that you can hold
when you start to feel anxious is a quick way to help you cope with your feelings. You can rub the stones
with your fingers and thumb (similar to a worry stone) to stimulate the reflex points in the thumbs
and release happy hormones into your body. This action, when combined with conscious control of
the breath has worked wonders for my clients time after time. Purple Botswana Agate, Alexandrite,
Epidote, Yellow Fluorite, White Opal, Electric Blue Aura Quartz, and Lithium Quartz have also proven
useful for alleviating anxiety and nervousness.
Another symptoms frequently experienced by Grave’s Disease sufferers is irritability. Blue Calcite,
Dumortierite, Sikhote-Alin Meteorite, Pink Dendritic Opal, Blue Tara Quartz (Quartz with Blue
Tourmaline Inclusions), Cobalt Aura Quartz, Ruby-Kyanite, Red Rutilated Quartz, Septarian Nodule,
and Violet Tourmaline are all useful for removing anger and irritability and replacing it with compassion,
understanding, and peace. These stones help get your emotions under control and allow you to see the
situation for what it really is, removing your irritation with the person or people involved.
Fatigue is also sometimes associated with Grave’s Disease. See the “Hashimoto’s Disease & UnderActive Thyroid” section above for more information about reducing fatigue and tiredness with crystals.
Increased or irregular heartbeat may not occur in all people with Grave’s Disease, but it is a fairly
common symptom of this disorder. This can be quite a frightening experience, leading to additional
feelings of anxiety which can exacerbate the heart issue. Apricot Botswana Agate, Green Aventurine,
Barite Rose, Dioptase, Green Heulandite, Pink Opal, Pink Nirvana Quartz, Seriphos Quartz, and Peach
Stilbite all work to correct and heal disorders of the heart. Green Heulandite has the additional quality
of aiding the removal of excess energy from the heart center ( which may be the energetic cause of
this symptom). If you have an increased or irregular heartbeat, you should immediately seek medical
attention, but these crystals may be useful to help keep you calm while you are in route to your physician
or to the hospital.
Excessive sweating is a more minor symptom of this thyroid disorder, but it can be uncomfortable,
embarrassing, or even lead to dehydration if not attended to properly. Apricot Botswana Agate can help
you bounce back from the effects of minor dehydration on an energetic level while you work with your
physician to restore the correct level of fluids and electrolytes to your physical body.
Diarrhea and frequent bowel movements are also common in Grave’s patients and can also lead to
dehydration. You can use the Apricot Botswana Agate, as described above, to help energetically assist
you in recovering from your dehydration. However, to work on bowel issues, Green Zoisite can be very
useful. Carry a piece in your pocket to help restore balance in your body.
Because of the primary symptoms associated with Grave’s Disease, many Grave’s patients have
secondary symptoms such as difficulty sleeping. Chrysoprase can encourage restful sleep and Howlite
can help you to feel more rested after even brief period of sleep. White Opal encourages healthy sleep
patterns so that you can return to a normal sleep cycle. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise helps to balance
the energy relating to sleep disorders (especially insomnia). Any of these crystals may help you sleep
better simply by placing them in your pillow case or on your bed side table. Since you will be using
them daily, be sure to cleanse them regularly (at least once per week) for best results.
Change in the menstrual cycle of women suffering from Grave’s Disease are commonly reported.
See the “Hashimoto’s Disease & Under-Active Thyroid” section above for more information about
energetically regulating your menstrual cycle using crystals.
Goiter is also sometimes associated with Grave’s Disease. See the “Thyroid Goiter & Enlarged Thyroid”
section below for more information about working with crystals for thyroid goiter.
Some people with Grave’s Disease may suffer from a variety of eye issues including bulging,
inflammation, redness, tearing, swollen eyelids, or sensitivity to light. Clear Calcite, Chrysoprase,
Citrine, Emerald, Blue Tara Quartz (Quartz with Blue Tourmaline Inclusions), Seriphos Quartz, Tiger’s
Eye (Blue, Golden, or Red), and Turquoise are all general eye healers. Small, lightweight stones may be
placed on closed eyelids (or just above the eyes on the brow if the eyes are too sensitive to place stones
there) for 3-5 minutes, twice per day, until the symptoms subside. This energy healing technique has
been shown to be most effective when both eyes were worked on at once, but if this is not possible, you
may work with one eye, and then the next.
Thyroid Goiter & Enlarged Thyroid:
Thyroid goiter (an enlarged thyroid) is most commonly caused by a lack of iodine in the diet. You
should work with your physician and a nutritionist to ensure that you are getting proper nutritional
requirements, but you can also use healing crystals to help you energetically absorb the appropriate
vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from the foods you eat. Golden Cat’s Eye Apatite, Peach Barite,
Brazilianite, Leopard Skin Jasper, Marble Jasper, Green Kyanite, Peach Moonstone, Chlorite-Included
Quartz, Papaya Quartz, Sunshine Aura Quartz, Serpentine, and Vanadinite all aid in nutrient absorption
while Bornite aids in balancing the nutrients to the right levels for your body. These stones can be easily
utilized by wearing a piece of jewelry (programmed to aid in nutrient absorption and regulation) or
by carrying a stone in the pocket. Alternatively, you may want to create a small crystal grid using one
or more of the stones listed, and then charge your food within the grid. To do this, simply place your
plate, bowl, or glass within the center of the grid for 1-2 minutes prior to eating while holding the
intention that the food is charged with the energy of the crystals. When you consume the food, eat
with intention and purpose, allowing the food to nourish your physical body and provide that which
is needed for your highest good.
When the thyroid is enlarged, it can often cause additional symptoms such as swelling or tightness in
the neck or trouble swallowing. Honey Amber works to soothe the thyroid gland while Blue Fluorite,
Blue Topaz, and Blue Calcite add cooling energy to reduce swelling. Wearing these stones in a pendant
on a short chain, close to the neck is best. However, an alternative way to get some relief is to hold your
chosen stone over the thyroid gland for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times per day as needed.
An enlarged thyroid can also result in coughing or wheezing, trouble breathing, or hoarseness. Honey
Amber and Honey Calcite can reduce coughing whereas Rose Quartz aids in opening the lungs to
reduce wheezing. Blue Fluorite, Blue Topaz, and Denim Lapis soothe the throat in general, making
it easier to deal with these associated symptoms. To use these stones, hold your chosen crystal over
the throat chakra as symptoms occur. The Rose Quartz can be held over the Heart Chakra (over the
lungs), over the thymus, or over the Throat Chakra to open the lungs and aid your ability to breathe
easily.
Thyroid Nodules & Thyroid Growths (cancer is rare):
Although the cause of thyroid nodules is often unknown, some nodules may be caused by Hashimoto’s
Disease or by a iodine deficiency. See the “Hashimoto’s Disease & Under-Active Thyroid” section
above for more information about using crystals to work with Hashimoto’s. See the “Thyroid Goiter
& Enlarged Thyroid” section above for more information about using crystals for regulating iodine.
Thyroid nodules can cause hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, so they are often undiagnosed by
physicians until they are quite large and then detected via a physical examination of the thyroid.
If the nodules are causing hyperthyroidism, then they can be responsible for causing several
uncomfortable symptoms including rapid heart rate, nervousness, and anxiety. See the “Grave’s Disease
& Over-Active Thyroid” section above for more information about ways to alleviate these symptoms.
The nodules may also be responsible for increased appetite or loss of body weight. These seemingly
contradictory symptoms mimic symptoms of other illnesses and often lead to misdiagnosis by physicians
until the nodules have grown quite large. Angelite can be used to control body weight, especially when
you are rapidly losing weight at an unhealthy rate. Carry a piece in your pocket or wear as a bracelet to
help regulate your body’s weight. To help regulate the appetite, we suggest using Blue or Green Apatite
crystals placed on your dining table or in your dining area.
Clammy skin is also associated with thyroid nodules. Colorless Fluorite may be used to warm the body
while Apricot Botswana Agate can regulate perspiration. Hold these crystals in your receiving (nondominant) hand when you’re feeling a bit clammy and visualize yourself returning to a comfortable
state of being. This may take anywhere from 2-10 minutes. You may do this as often as needed.
If the nodules are causing hypothyroidism (a result of Hashimoto’s Disease) or if you are experiencing
the symptoms associated with the disease (fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, or constant coldness)
see the “Hashimoto’s Disease & Under-Active Thyroid” section above for more information.
General Energy Healing Options for Thyroid Conditions:
If you suspect that you may have a thyroid condition, but have not yet confirmed this with your
physician, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible. In the mean time, you may
use healing stones like Angelite, Blue Apatite, Citrine, Blue Fluorite, Lapis Lazuli, Rutilated Quartz,
and Blue Topaz, which are all beneficial for general thyroid balance.
Alternatively, you can create a “mojo bag” or medicine pouch for energetically supporting each thyroid
condition, using one stone for each of the symptoms associated with that particular condition.
