Bloodstone - Improve the circulation of your Blood Flow Energy




What is Bloodstone?
Bloodstone Gemstone Bloodstone is a form of chalcedony, fine cryptocrystalline quartz. It has also been known as heliotrope, which means "sun turning" in Greek. Bloodstone is a dark green gemstone with red flecks. It is a form of silica quartz and it is also commonly known as green chalcedony. Bloodstone is still known by the name of heliotrope in Germany. The name 'Heliotrope' was given by the Greeks which means 'turning or revolving sun'.

The bloodstone was believed to represent the blood of Christ Jesus. It is said that bloodstone was first formed when drops of Christ's blood fell and stained some green jasper at the foot of the cross. Because of the legend, the stone became a favorite material for carving Christian art and the gem is also referred to as the 'Martyr's Gem'.


Types of Bloodstone
Plasma and heliotrope are two types of bloodstone. Heliotrope is lighter colored, somewhat translucent, and has red flecks while plasma is dark green, opaque, with little or no red in it. Bloodstone is considered a semi-precious stone and the stone should be protected from scratches and sharp blows since it is only rated at 6.5 to 7 on Moh's Scale. Bloodstone can sometimes be found mixed in with other type of minerals, or as pebbles along riverbeds.


Uses of Bloodstone
Wear or carry Bloodstone as an amulet of protection against threats or bullying, whether verbal or physical, and for guidance to withdraw when appropriate and the courage to confront when needed. Sew a small Bloodstone in the coat of a child or teenager who is being bullied. Carry one for strength when adjusting to new circumstances.

Wear or carry Bloodstone to increase mental clarity and to aid in decision-making. It provides a mental boost when motivation is lacking, and can revitalize the mind and body if you are exhausted.

Bloodstone stimulates dreaming and heightens intuition. It is marvelous for increasing creativity and cultivating a project from the idea stage through to actualization. It encourages blessings and prosperity. 



Bloodstone is a nurturing mother goddess stone, helpful in easing misunderstandings or difficulties with mothers or mothering issues. It also assists human and animal mothers in the bonding process after a traumatic birth or one where mother and baby were separated for a time.

Working with Bloodstone invigorates the system, boosting energy levels and increasing endurance in physical activity. It is beneficial for everyone from athletes to invalids for its steady vibration of purification and well-being. Use as a good luck charm for sports competitions or matches.

An excellent stimulator of the immune system, use Bloodstone to ward off colds, flu, infections and inflammation. It is also a remarkable aid for revitalizing and re-energizing the body after illness, injury, or physical exhaustion.

Bloodstone’s magical properties allow one to draw upon the power of the weather for personal healing, such as tapping into the winds to bring change or the rain to wash away sorrow.

Moss Tree Agate Healing Properties

Moss Tree Agate Healing Properties


Meaning
Moss Agate is not banded, and therefore not strictly an Agate in scientific terms; but is included in the Agate family. Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. It is clear to milky white, with dendritic inclusions of manganese or iron that has grown into patterns similar to moss or lichen. Spots of red may occur in some specimens, and occasionally the crystal is dark green with bluish inclusions.

Throughout history and all cultures, Moss Agate has been known as the crystal of gardeners and agriculture. It was considered a miraculous healing stone for tribal priests of the past, giving them power to interact with our human organic system, and was used as a talisman to make warriors strong and victorious.

Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing and strengthening influence.

Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonizing Yin and Yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe.

Uses and Purposes
As a stone of abundance, Moss Agate is known for its benefits in agricultural pursuits and has been successful in promoting the growth of new crops. Planted in a pot or flower bed, it increases the overall health of plants.



Moss Agate is also a stone of wealth, attracting abundance in all forms. In the workplace, it draws new business and gradual expansion, increasing prosperity over time. It is good for small businesses and the self-employed, and a fortifying crystal for financial institutions. Keep one near when working on tax returns, spread sheets or figures that will not add up, and one with bank papers to encourage savings.

Useful as a birthing crystal, Moss Agate aids midwives in their work, reducing pain and assisting in delivery. It is a stone of new beginnings.

Moss Agate is extremely beneficial as a body strengthened in times of stress. Its steady energies aid those who feel unstable or ungrounded. It is an excellent stone for convalescing after illness, or in recovery from addictions. It enhances mental concentration, persistence and endurance, making it useful as an aid in physical exercise programs, therapies, or body building.

Moss Agate is a cleansing crystal, useful for clearing personal energy systems as well as environmental. It is helpful in reducing sensitivity to weather. It brings new friendships, and worn as jewelry or placed over the heart at night, will attract new love or the re-growth of former love. 



As a professional support stone, Moss Agate detoxifies body energies in veterinarians, and helps prevent sensitivity to food products for chefs, bakers and cooks.

Physical Healing Energy
Moss Agate enhances the acuity of the senses and neuronal activity. It helps eliminate depression caused by left-right brain imbalance, and stimulates mental function by improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities.

Moss Agate is anti-inflammatory and helps treat infections and swelling, colds and flu, and lowers fever. It is useful for long-term illness and recovery, boosting the immune system, and is thought to prevent hypoglycaemia and dehydration. As an elixir applied to the skin, Moss Agate treats fungal and skin infections and irritations.

Moss Agate is helpful to the circulatory system, regulating pulse and other heartbeat irregularities. It cures buzzing in the ears. Wearing an Agate in the middle of the chest strengthens the cardiac muscle, and heals emotional disharmony.

Moss Agate stimulates the digestive system, relieves gastritis, and aids in the elimination of toxins from the body. Agate may also reduce the symptoms of epilepsy, and for some people guards against sleepwalking.

Emotional Healing Energy
Moss Agate brings peace and stability to the emotional body. It is especially helpful to those who experience extreme mood swings and those addicted to emotional drama in their lives. It soothes volatile tempers and promotes patience, wholeness, and inner calm.

Moss Agate releases deep-seated fear and stresses, expanding one's personal space and growth. It stimulates a good self-image and strengthens positive personality traits, including the ability to get along with others. An optimistic stone, Moss Agate is helpful for those suffering from difficult life circumstances, depression or brain imbalances to find hope and trust, and to keep trying.


Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy
Agate stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negative energies. Its cleansing effect is powerful at all levels.

Moss Agate is associated with the Heart Chakra, located near the center of the breastbone. It regulates our interaction with the external world and controls what we embrace and what we resist. It gives us the balancing ability to be ourselves within the environment. When the heart chakra is out of balance you may feel either controlling or controlled in a relationship, and become critical of the little foibles of others. You may well find yourself having inappropriately strong emotional responses to everyday external stimuli. Green crystal energy is used to resolve blockages and to re-balance the heart chakra, helping us understand our own needs and emotions clearly. We can deal with the ebbs and flows of emotional relationships, understand their cyclic nature, and accept the changes.




Spiritual Energy
Moss Agate encourages the spiritualization of one's life in all aspects, helping to overcome negative behaviours which may be karmic attachments from past lives, and to find the will to replace these patterns with the Divine blueprint of one's Higher Self. Its steadfast energy holds these aspirations into view until manifestation can take place.

Agate raises awareness and links into the collective consciousness of the oneness of life. It encourages quiet contemplation of one's life experiences that lead to spiritual growth and inner stability.

Moss Agate opens the lines of communication with the devas and Nature Spirits, reminding us that the world itself is a living being, physically and spiritually.

Color Energy
Moss Agate utilizes the energy of green. It is a "growth crystal" - a powerful conduit of the earth's Life Force of birth, development, and creation, and of the power of nature's constant renewal. It is a potent aid in nurturing, whether of fledgling family relationships or a new business venture. Green crystals are perfect for keeping a venture on course, a project on schedule, and life on track. Lighter Green crystals promote spiritual growth and renewed commitment to a higher purpose. Those of a darker hue are talismans of physical growth and strength, and safety in travel.



Meditation with Moss Agate
Moss Agate provides a wide variety of crystal formations conducive for meditative focus. The intricate movements within the crystal encourage a calm, relaxing state and open the mind to higher thought and inner truths.

Project your goal or the image of a completed project into a Moss Agate, and it will magnify the intentioned energy and assist in achieving the goal.

How to Use The Crystal or Gemstones Ball / Sphere for Healing

How to Use The Crystal or Gemstones Ball / Sphere for Healing


Most important thing you need for healing with a crystal ball is "CLAIRVOYANCE"

Clairvoyance means clear seeing, into the future, into the past, into other dimensions and beyond the physical eye range. We all possess clairvoyant powers, but the modern busy world means that we do not often use them and so we may miss opportunities and hazards. But you can easily learn to use these powers to make decisions and to see what lies ahead. You can also discover past lives and see your angels and spirit guides.

Clairvoyance works mainly through seeing images though you may also get information in words and as feelings or impressions. You may see these symbols in your mind or within a large crystal you can use for focusing your clairvoyant powers, for example a crystal ball or a crystal pyramid. One of the most effective and easiest methods is the crystal ball.

Crystal balls
Clear natural quartz crystal balls with marks that look like cracks, inclusions and sparkling rainbows are best for clairvoyance. Some people mistakenly think these are broken but ones that are totally clear inside are much harder to use. Anyone can read a crystal ball with markings in it as the cracks form physical images that help the psychic or clairvoyant eye to pick up the hidden psychic information they hold. Clear quartz crystal can be used in sunlight, moonlight, or by candlelight.

Amethyst crystal balls are good for answering questions about healing and health, for matters concerning the past, for complex relationships such as love affairs or step families, for issues concerning women, for issues of guilt and blame, spiritual matters, private worries, fears, and addictions. Amethyst is best in moonlight or candlelight.

Rose quartz is good for questions about love, family, animals, fertility, self-esteem, the home, and children. Good in moonlight or soft natural light but not bright sunlight. Not so effective with candles.

Using Your Crystal Ball
The following is only a suggestion or starting point from which you can find a way that works best for you.
  • Use a quiet room where you will not be disturbed. Create a relaxed atmosphere by burning candles or incense or by playing soft music. I suggest working by candlelight as too much light on the ball can make the images distorted or difficult to see. Dim lighting also relaxes the eyes, making it easier to focus on the ball.
  • To reduce reflections, place the ball on a dark surface such as a small black pillow or cushion, piece of velvet, or silk handkerchief reserved especially for this purpose.
  • You may wish to perform a cleansing ritual on the room and yourself, followed by a protection ritual before beginning your work with the ball.
  • Attain a meditative state using whichever method works for you. It is very important to relax your mind and body as this is key to using many psychic abilities including crystal gazing.


  • Hold the ball in your hands for awhile to energize it and strengthen your psychic bond with it. Think about the purpose for this session. You may wish to visualize the topic, or ask a question about it either in your mind or out loud.

Reading a crystal ball or Crystal Gazing
This is the simplest method but spend a few minutes just looking for images in the ball so your eyes get attuned to crystal pictures.
  • Ask your question.
  • Either light a candle so the light shines in the ball or work with sunlight or moonlight.
  • Turn the ball round in the light and allow pictures to form within the ball one after the other, using the cracks and lines within to make spontaneously the shapes of animals, birds, stars, scenes, and people.
  • Choose the clearest or largest image first. What is it saying about your question?
For example a boat on a stormy sea with land ahead says that the changes you are making or planning are difficult but you will soon reach your desired goal.
  • You may hear words in your mind or feelings and impressions that will add information.
  • Sometimes your chosen image will change into a second image, but of not turn the ball gently in your hands and focus on the next clearest image.
  • Keep choosing images until you can see no more.
  • Now totally relax and just write everything that comes to mind about those images however seemingly unrelated.
  • Do not read what you have written until you have finished writing. As you read what you have written the answer to your question will become clear.
It is okay if you do not see any images the first several times you use the ball. Most people need practice at achieving the necessary receptive and relaxed state of mind before images will appear.

Crystal ball gazing takes a lot of practice and patience, but in time you will become more receptive and more adept at reading the crystal.

Thank the ball for its message and put it away.

The Three Images Method

This is an alternative slightly more complicated method using a crystal ball and you can as I suggest to adapt it for understanding past, present and future concerning an issue. If you prefer you can use three images as three aspects of the same question as seen from where you are now.
  • By seeking just three key images and interpreting those as a sequence in relation to the question asked you can usually get to the heart of any matter.
  • This time expand each image in your mind to extract as much information as possible from it and any associated ideas before moving on to the next. If alone record your thoughts aloud on tape or scribble down impressions.
  • First focus on the question and any possible time frame, weeks, months or years.
  • Look towards the centre of the ball and name aloud the first clear image.
  • What words come into your mind and what do you feel about the image? For example if a bird is it a flying bird, a nesting bird, a caged bird? What species of bird is it? Is it one you like or fear? Is the cage door open and does the bird want to stay inside?
  • Now identify another image and then a third.
  • Try to obtain as much detail as possible. Even if you cannot get much form the crystal ball image close your eyes while holding the ball and see it in your mind and its background/context.
  • You may decide to use to first image to interpret what it is from the past that is relevant now, the second as crucial but maybe hidden present information and the third as the possible steps to future happiness or the outcome of planned change or action.
  • Whether or not you do this or use the three images to expand the current issue, try to weave the three images together and see what they are saying For example the bird sitting inside the cage that is open may be too scared to fly out, may not want to or not realize the door is open.  Who is the bird (usually the person who has asked for the reading)? What is the cage? A relationship, a job going nowhere, a home that has become confined, suggesting that relocation would be desirable? How do the other images expand the theme or give direction?
  • Whether alone or working to help someone else you can weave the images together to find a solution and a way ahead.
It is okay if you do not see any images the first several times you use the ball. Most people need practice at achieving the necessary receptive and relaxed state of mind before images will appear.

Crystal ball gazing takes a lot of practice and patience, but in time you will become more receptive and more adept at reading the crystal.

Thank the ball for its message and put it away.


Extra useful equipment for clairvoyance and crystal ball reading

  • Creating a beautiful working place for clairvoyance work helps your everyday mind to relax into a softer more intuitive mood so that you can more easily access hidden information.
  • Light incense if working indoors whether as cones, sticks or granular incense that burns very beautifully and easily on charcoal disks in frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, benzine,  rose, pine, jasmine, magnolia or musk.
  • Alternatively burn floral fragrance oils in an aroma lamp or any of the above fragrances.
  • Scented or white candles will not only shed light on the ball but open your psychic awareness of what you sense as well as what you see and hear.
  • Place four protective crystal, glass ceramic or metal angels to stand at the four corners of your table (optional).

Crystal Ball Gazing


Crystal Ball Gazing




Crystal balls have been used for scrying for thousands of years. Scrying is the art of looking into a reflective surface, such as glass, water, a mirror, or a crystal, to gain mystical insight.

Most everyone is familiar with the image of a gypsy fortune-teller gazing into her crystal ball and divining someone’s future. Along with this image comes the common misconception that crystal balls have magical powers that enable them to foretell the future.

Crystal Ball
However, the images seen with a crystal ball aren’t the foretelling of future events, but rather images from deep within one’s subconscious mind, and the crystal ball is the door through which these subconscious thoughts can be accessed. When using a crystal ball, a trance-like state is induced that dissociates one’s consciousness, enabling information from the subconscious to pass through the mind’s eye. It is here the images are seen, not in the crystal itself.

Selecting a Ball
Most crystal balls are clear and made of glass, lead crystal, reconstituted quartz, or natural quartz. Although clear quartz is the most common crystal used for scrying, smoky quartz, amethyst, beryl, selenite, and obsidian have also been used.

Most crystal gazers prefer a ball that is at least 4”-5” in diameter so reading is easier and less straining, but a 3” ball works just as well. As per my experience I am using the crystal ball approx 3" to 4" size. I wouldn’t recommend using one much smaller than that.

Cleansing
When you get your ball, wash it using a soft cloth, water, and mild soap. This will not only make your ball clean physically, but also help cleanse the ball’s energies as well.

To completely cleanse your ball of any previous and/or negative energy, it is best to smudge it as well. To smudge, simply light a sage smudge stick and pass the ball through the smoke several times. Your crystal ball should be cleansed (smudged) before each use.

Handling and Storage
A crystal ball is very personal. You shouldn’t let anyone else touch it as their energies and subconscious thoughts will pass onto it and “contaminate” your ball, causing inaccurate readings. The ball may also lose its charge, or your personal influences with it may become weakened and/or corrupted.

When not in use, you should wrap your ball in dark cloth and keep it in a light-proof box in a place where it will not be touched by others.

Charging
To charge your ball, place it in the light of a full moon (when the light is strongest) for several nights. This will also make it easy to remember when to recharge it.


Do NOT place your ball in direct sunlight. This will weaken the ball’s magnetism and may render it unable to draw images. This is why it should be stored in a box, away from light. 

Crystal ball gazing takes a lot of practice and patience, but in time you will become more receptive and more adept at reading the crystal.

Thank the Ball for its message and put it away

Gemstone Spheres: meaning and symbolism


Gemstone Spheres: meaning and symbolism


crystal ball-kalpesh dave


Crystal and gemstone balls have been used for divination since at least medieval times. They are a traditional symbol of the occult and hidden wisdom, and much more. Some of their uses include:
  • Healing
  • Cleansing
  • Rituals
  • Decoration with a purpose
    Crystal Ball Gazing 

The Sphere symbolizes wholeness
The sphere as a shape is an ancient and universal symbol that represents unity, completeness, infinity - the whole universe. Crystal spheres are often used to increase self awareness and a powerful mind. Closely connected to the spiritual nature of our complete self, crystal spheres help to bring out integrity, clear thinking, and a better union of body, mind and spirit.

Whether used for crystal ball gazing (scrying), aura cleansing, meditation, rituals or as adornment to a room, crystal and gemstone spheres radiate special energies that are created from the earth itself!

Energy direction
Unlike the focused energy of a wand or egg shaped crystal, a ball emits energy in all directions equally. These make a useful tool to perceive a complete picture (of self or situations) - moving energy around and through the entire environment.

Using Gemstone Power
Each stone contains energy that is unique to the type of stone. Getting to know the properties and benefits of thousands of stones can take a lifetime - but is a rewarding and fun adventure. I invite you to study crystals and gemstones, their origins, folklore and current day uses. I have included a short list of some of the uses of gemstone spheres in the right column of this web page. Explore the meaning of gemstones and get creative with spheres for your specific purposes. 

Meditation: A gemstone or crystal sphere can be used during meditation. You may want to hold the sphere or just gaze upon it when meditating.

Healing: Crystal healing should be done by a professional and in conjunction with traditional medicine. Find a professional in your area who offers a workshop or seminar.

Decoration with a purpose: Place a gemstone sphere in a room or on your bedside dresser or office desk to emanate a particular energy that you feel is needed.

For example, a rose quartz sphere at your bedside surrounds the room with love. A crystal ball will cleanse the room of negativity, while a jasper sphere will emanate protection. Bring money to your business with a malachite sphere on your desk. Increase your luck with the stock market with a black tourmaline sphere.
  
Crystal Ball Gazing: A Crystal Ball used for gazing should be kept wrapped in black silk. When using the Crystal Ball for gazing it is best to hold the Crystal Ball in your hands with the black silk between your hands and the Crystal Ball. You may use a stand for the ball if you find holding the ball uncomfortable.

You must experiment to find what time of day or night is best for you. You must relax and sit passively. Make sure you are comfortable. Take several deep breaths. You must have patience. Concentrate on a question.

Often colors are seen the Crystal Ball. Green, blue and violet are excellent omens. Red, orange and yellow are negative omens and you must take care. Black is unfavorable and much care must be taken until it is no longer seen.

A white brilliance is very favorable for you, meaning your life is on the right track and will be improved. You may see movement or even visions in your Crystal Ball.
