Ashwagandha (herb)

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

A powerful herbal medicine.
Used to relieve anxiety, reduce stress, and help against depression. With many benefits Ashwagandha can also help boost brain function, lower blood sugar aswell as cortisol levels.

Ability to increase muscle mass and strength, in sandskrit Ashwagandha means “smell of the horse” also for its unique smell.

Able to increase fertility and testosterone in men.
Ashwagandha also has anti-inflammatory effects and may help improve heart health by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Ashwagandha has a high concentration of withanolides, which have been shown to fight inflammation and tumor growth.

I personally use this in small amounts daily and have to say it is best used on a daily bases to get the full benefits.

The name Celestite comes from the greek meaning “heavenly”.
When discovered in 1791, it was named Fasriger Schwerspath. Then in 1797, when it was renamed Schwefelsaurer Strontianite Aus Pennsylvania.

The next year it was named Zoelestine, which is the German spelling based on the Greek word for “of the sky”. Finallly known as its original name Celestite although some have reverted back to using the name Celestine.

Fluorite is a semi precious stone.
Birthstone of people born between April 20th and May 20th. Zodiac Capricorn.
This stone is brilliant to bring to an exam or public speaking. Enhancing powers of concentration and self-confidence.
Fluorite is transparent and ranges from purple to yellow, green, clear, and even rainbow hues.
Fluorite helps you flow with your surroundings and make the best with what you got.
The phenomenon of fluorescence was first observed in fluorite, giving the phenomenon its name, rather than the other way around.

Taking up negative energies from the atmosphere, Fluorite is helpful with Chakra and aura cleansing.

Fluorite keeps the heart chakra in coordination and balance with the other chakras of the body.

The heart chakra keeps the hormones of the body in balance, and being the central chakra it is also responsible for the maintenance of other chakras.

Rose Quartz

A very loving energy, observing this light pink beauty alone always fills me with pure love energy.

When suffering heartache or grief I recommend working with this crystal. Even just having this close to your heart chakra can improve your self love, heal and open your heart to more pure love. I speak of the deep love not a passionate moment.

There are many ways to benefit from this beautiful energy.

A Ritual Bath (including Rose Quartz)

First gather some light pink candles, pink rose petals, rose water or essential rose oil, your rose quartz and some pure sea salt.
Run your warm bath water and add a handful of salt with the intention of cleansing your body and spirit.
When your bath has filled swirl in your rose petals, rose oil or rose water with the intension of filling your senses to allow you to heal emotionally and thereby also filling you with love.
Place your rose quartz next to your pink candles.
As you light your candles you may wish to call upon a God/Goddess or Archangel, or simply state your intention.
Lie in the bath and allow yourself to be infused with healing love energy.
Light meditation is advisable but again optional.
Rinse your body after the bath.

Drinking water (Crystal charged):

Another way to take this energy in, is by placing the Rose Quartz in drinking water jug. Leave it there for a few hours at least then pour yourself a glass and drink. As you drink take your time and be aware of the love energy you are taking in. This is very healing and will fill you with a beautiful glow.

(Beware some crystals are poisonous or dissolve in water)

Amethyst Crystal

Hi everyone,
Thought I’d start the next few days with a little information on a few crystals their properties and how they can be used in healing practices.
Today Amethyst.

Awakens intuition, mental awareness and promotes psychic abilities as well as being fab at relieving stress and balancing moods.
Amethyst can be used to open and work with your Crown Chakra and your Third Eye Chakra. Also associated as the birth stone of February.

In mythology there are tales of Amethyst.
It’s hue from the blood-red wine tears of Dionysus.
The Amethyst was actually a young virgin who found herself on the receiving end of the Gods wrath when he was drunk. The young girl cried out to the Goddess Diana for help, the Goddess turned her into a shimmering pale stone. When Dionysus realized his folly, he wept into his wine glass and in his emotion overturned his goblet. The white stone soaked up the wine until it glowed a gentle purple hue.

Amethyst can change with the rise and fall of the light or when placed in different temperatures.
It evolves with the body and is closely connected to our conscious experiences in life.
Associated with healthy cell regeneration, promoting hormonal balance, encouraging healthy sleep and rest. Amethyst helps balance metabolism and positively serves the endocrine system.
Helping the body find harmony so it doesn’t produce too much cortisol, this cuts down stress and tension.
The purplish hue of Amethyst also cleanses and detoxifies mind, body and spirit. Amethyst can also help those who struggle with brain fog or migraines.

A quick way of using Amethyst is to get a jug of moon water or distilled drinking water.
Place the Amethyst into the jug of water.
Say: “I infuse this water with the positive energies of Amethyst, gently remove that which no longer serves me. May this water bring love, light and happiness to my mind body and spirit. Blessed be.”
You can drink from this water through the day but be careful not to swallow your crystal, personally pouring from the jug into a glass is preferable.

Another way is to run a bath place your charged crystal above your head.
Light a candle with your intention of cleansing and energising that chakra for example.
Or simply place under you pillow to enhance healthy sleep.
You can wear your crystal during the day too.
Personally I like to have an Amethyst crystal with me during certain meditations.
Lots of love, light and Brightest Blessings always.
