Sun Stone / Sunstone Healing Properties

Sunstone

Introduction and Meaning

 With the radiance of the sun and the fire of the solar ray, Sunstone carries the energy of Ra, the sun god, whose energy brings all potential life from within the Earth. It is a Stone of Leadership - of personal power, freedom, and expanded consciousness. Truly reflecting the qualities of Light, it brings openness, benevolence and warmth, strength, mental clarity, and the willingness and ability to bestow blessings upon others.

Known as a joyful stone, Sunstone inspires the nurturing of self in order to be of service to others. It restores the enjoyment of life, good nature and provides a sense of abundance.

Sunstone is a member of the Feldspar family, and is named for its warm shades of gold, orange, reds and browns that sparkle like the sun. Inclusions of Goethite or Hematite refract light between the different crystal layers and produce an iridescent effect as the stone is viewed from various angles. Sunstone may be clear and transparent, or opaque, and is readily available on the market. Clean red specimens, however, are rare.

Uses and Purposes

 Sunstone is an abundance stone. It encourages independence and originality, is inspirational in revealing talents, and attracts fame and unexpected prosperity. It is an excellent "good luck" crystal for competitions.

Wear Sunstone to feel alive and enthusiastic. It increases vitality and is beneficial in starting, and maintaining, a fitness program or aerobic activity, and for occupations requiring high energy throughout the day.

As a workplace crystal, Sunstone increases your profile and brings opportunities for leadership and promotion. Place next to your computer when advertising your own business or services online.

Sunstone provides a source of strength if you are dependent on others emotionally, or have suffered the sudden loss of a partner. It helps alleviate fearfulness and stress, and protects against those who drain your energies or finances. It is also an excellent crystal for phobia sufferers to ease fear of the dark, enclosed places, or the presence of other triggers.

Worn as a ring on the receptive hand, Sunstone helps one receive what is needed and desired. On the transmitting hand, it channels multiple healings and blessings to others. Worn as a pendant, Sunstone brings the heart's wisdom into alignment with the mind's inspirations.

 Physical Healing Energy 

Sunstone warms the body, increasing metabolism, digestion, and vitality. It stimulates self-healing powers, regulating and harmonizing all of the organs.

Sunstone is used to treat chronic sore throats, and to reduce stomach tension and ulcers. Placed on the Solar Plexus, it is excellent for lifting depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and is helpful in chasing away nightmares.

Since ancient times, Sunstone has been used as a grid around the body to relieve cartilage problems, rheumatism, and general aches and pains. Today it is also used to treat osteoarthritis, cramps, fever, various infections, and athletic injury.

Emotional Healing Energy

Sunstone is highly effective in cleansing the aura and chakras, and for removing hooks from possessive loved ones, lovers, or anyone draining of your energies. Sunstone surrounds these hooks with love and positive energy, and returns them to the source. It is especially beneficial when ties need to be cut, or if you have difficulty saying "No." It helps remove co-dependency, overcomes procrastination, and encourages self-empowerment and independence.

Those who hold back because of fears and self-doubt may find Sunstone melts away the sense of unworthiness, feelings of being discriminated against, disadvantaged or abandoned. It emanates a rich and positive spectrum of energies that re-balances one's emotional patterns, and encourages optimism and enthusiasm. It can help transform anger into energy and judgment into joy.

Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy

With its powers of the sun and light, Sunstone clears and cleanses all the chakras, restoring joy and nurturing the spirit. It is particularly energizing to the Base and Sacral Chakras, stimulating leadership and will, creativity and sexuality.

The red and brown shades of Sunstone activate the Base, or Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine that controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement. It is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When its spiritual energies are out of balance, you will feel flighty, disconnected from reality, and distant. When the Base Chakra is in balance, the physical body regains its strength and stamina, and the spiritual energy is rekindled in the form of security and sense of one's own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.

The gold and orange shades of Sunstone identify with the Sacral Chakra, or Second Chakra, located below the naval and above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It controls the flow of energy and is the center of gravity of the body. It is the center of the Life Force of the body, and controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body. Gut feelings, intuition, and other "non-linear" communication comes from this chakra. When it is out of balance the symptoms will manifest themselves as confusion, over dependency on others, repression of feelings, inability to feel joy, fear of sensuality or sex, and frustration. When it is in balance you have grace, feel pleasure in life, find you are flexible and can "go with the flow" and do so in good spirit.

Spiritual Energy

 Sunstone relates to people of faith - missionaries and others who give themselves in service to the world. It encourages us to act with grace, and aids in active, joyous meditation.

Sunstone carries yang energy, and balances with the yin of Moonstone. Worn together, these stones integrate god and goddess powers, assertive and outward success and inner harmony within your life.

Color Energy

 Gold energy in Sunstone brings success, enthusiasm, happiness, and power. It is traditionally the color of kings, riches, and the sun. Gold touches a deep part of our minds, conjuring up images of mystical places and adventure. Light Gold crystals provide us with the simple pleasures of life–cheerfulness and contentment. Dark Gold crystals have a deeper, more pronounced sense of devotion and commitment, providing us with a mature enthusiasm and ability to share a lifelong commitment of care and love.

The energy of Orange in Sunstone brings joy and friendship, pleasure, and family togetherness. It is a happy and sharing stone, integrating the parts of our communal lives, bringing things and people together. It is a stone of physical pleasure and intimacy. In lighter shades, Orange Sunstone promotes companionship and affection, while darker crystals deepen the sense of belonging and home.

Sunstone contains Scarlet energy, combining the energy of the pure red ray with the exuberance and joy of the orange. It reflects the color of strength and vitality, both physical and spiritual. Scarlet crystals are amulets of protection from physical harm. They help overcome fear and improve self-reliance, and are the crystals of victory, success, and skill. Lighter shades of scarlet, the lightly tinted red-oranges, are excellent talismans of dedication in young relationships. Dark Scarlet crystals are the key to the physical pleasures of maturity - in love, in life, and in relationships.

Red Sunstone brings a self-confidence built on fearlessness. It reflects the color of passion, energy, and life. It motivates. It is a very strong color - the color of fire and blood. Dark Red crystals embody strong, deep feelings, durable energy and quiet passion. It is a masculine color, particularly useful for increasing devotion and seeing the seriousness of life.

Selenite Crystal Healing Properties

Selenite Stone 

Selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum. The name Selenite comes from the Greek word for moon and means “moon glow," and these Selenite Wands do glow with a shimmery, pearl-like luster. The grain of the Selenite gives a lustrous shine that goes down the length of the wand to create a beautiful visual effect. 

“Stone of The Lightbody”

High Vibration Crystal  

Selenite is the perfect stone to increase the pace of spiritual growth.

Selenite has a very strong vibration which assist in healing at an energetic level, as it resonates with the higher frequencies, along with the higher chakras. Working with higher frequencies makes it effective in opening the Crown Chakra, Soul Star Chakra and those above. With a connection to the divine light it can bring those energies down and anchor them into the physical body. Use Selenite in a grid around your home or in the corners of a room to create a safe and peaceful space. Selenite also removes energy blocks from physical and etheric bodies. This will assist in increasing one’s spiritual transformation. However, it is a stone of positive energy. Therefore, it will gently enhance one’s transformation of spirituality and health in a positive direction.

Connects one with the divine mind and enhances communication with the angelic realm.

Selenite clears the aura of negative energies and motions, both physically and etherically, to deliver clarity of mind. It has the ability to help one whom suffers from childhood abuse to recover by allowing the remembrance of their soul’s intent and purpose. Healing of these blockages will enhance communication with divine mind, along with strengthening the connection to the angelic realm. Selenite allows access to the transpersonal chakras (eight chakra all the way up to the fourteenth chakra) which grants the capacity to take one directly into the higher realms.

Aids access into other dimensions to recover and activate psychic abilities from past lives.

Place on the Third-Eye, or Heart Chakra, to feel its energy flow into the Crown Chakra. Once it removes any stagnant energy, blockages or distortions within the Crown the energy of Selenite will then move into the higher chakras to trigger the flow of energy from the Stellar Gateway Chakra directly into the Soul Star Chakra. This is why Selenite is known as, The Lightbody Stone, as it anchors the lightbody into the physical body.

Selenite bridges the conscious mind to the super-conscious mind.

Crystal and Gemstone Healing Wands

Crystal and Gemstone Healing Wands

Since ancient times, crystal wands have been used for healing by healers all over the world. Some believe that they were even used by crystal healers in Atlantis. Today, crystal wands are still a common tool used by healers around the world.

Wands come in many different shapes and sizes, and also in many varieties of stone as well. Wands may be long or short, and the cylinder can be smooth or faceted. They can be pointed at one end and rounded at the other, or they can be rounded on both ends, or pointed at both ends. Some wands are wider at one end and tapered at the other, while others are not. Most wands are shaped and polished, but rough natural pointed crystals, such as quartz, can also be used as a healing wand.

Healing wands gather and direct energy. The elongated, cylindrical shape of a wand enables the stone or crystal to direct its healing energy in a straight line, and the wand's point focuses the crystal's energy so that it can be used on specific areas of the body.

Methods of Healing with a Crystal Wand

Crystal wands can be used in many different methods of healing. They can be used to heal the entire body or aura, or they can be used on a specific area of the body, or on a particular chakra. They can be used to scan the aura and the chakras to locate blockages, and then cleanse and heal them.

Wands can also be used in massage healing. Massaging the body with a stone wand helps to release tension from the body, while at the same time the stone's healing energy is transferred to the body. Smooth, round wands that are rounded on at least one end are the best to use in massage healing as they will not scratch or cause other discomfort to the body.

Pointed wands are good to use in reflexology, a healing method in which the stone's point is held at certain pressure points, mostly on the hands and feet, to heal ailments in particular areas of the body.

Choosing a Wand

Wands come in a wide variety of stones and crystals, so there are many different wands to choose from. Different stones have different healing energies and, therefore, have different effects on the body, aura, and chakras. As each gemstone has different healing properties, it is nice to have a variety of wands to use for a variety of different purposes. You might, therefore, wish to build a collection of wands made from a variety of gemstones.

A clear quartz crystal wand is a very good stone for beginners to work with as it is an all-purpose healing stone, having the ability to heal any ailment on any area of the body or aura. This makes it a good stone to have for your first wand.

Clear quartz is an excellent stone for gathering, storing, directing, and transmitting energy, but it can also transmute negative energy into positive healing energy. Its versatility and multiplicity of uses make it an essential wand for anyone to have. Clear quartz is also an amplifier of energy, and so it is good stone to attach a crystal stone to any stone wand to enhance and augment its healing energies.

When selecting a wand to use for a specific purpose, you should choose one made from a stone that is suitable to your intention. Therefore, it is good to know a little about the healing properties of different gemstones so that you are able to select a stone that harmonizes with the purpose for which you wish to use it. For example, to heal a broken heart, the best and strongest stone to use when dealing with love and emotions is rose quartz. But if you tried to use Sodalite, for instance, it wouldn't do much, if anything, in helping to mend your broken heart, as its primary properties are centered around communication and thought. If, however, you are lost as to which stone to choose, clear quartz is always a good choice.

Getting to Know Your Wand

Before using your wand, you may wish to spend some time with it to become familiar with its energy and to harmonize with it. The better you know your wand, the more effectively it will work for you. You can hold it while you meditate, or just sit holding it and feeling its shape, texture, and weight, and visually examining it to familiarize yourself with any patterns or changes in color it may have. You can also sleep with your wand, or even take a bath with it. Spending time with your wand will not only help to you become attuned to it, but you will also be receiving its healing energies at the same time.

How to Programmed your Wand

It is the power of one's intention that drives the energy of a wand, so it is a good idea to program your wand for its intended purpose, especially if it is specific. For example, if you want some crystal help with lowering your high blood pressure, you might choose a stone such as tourmaline, as it helps with many types of blood conditions. But tourmaline is also beneficial for many other areas of the body (the lymph nodes, spine, and endocrine system, for example), as well as for many other types of ailments (earache, insomnia, laryngitis, and epilepsy to name a few). And so you may wish to give your tourmaline specific programming so that its energy is focused on lowering your blood pressure. If you have chosen a stone whose healing properties fit well to your intention, the wand should readily and easily accept programming. (Read more about how to program a gemstone or crystal). 

How to Clean and Recharge Your Wand

Crystal and gemstone wands should always be cleansed and recharged after usage, especially when it is being used on multiple people or for multiple purposes. Otherwise, any harmful or negative energies the stone has removed from one person may be transferred to another. The easiest and most efficient way to cleanse a wand is to soak it in water for 12 to 24 hours. (Make sure first that your stone is not one that can be damaged by water.) And the best way to recharge your wand is to leave it out in the sun for an hour or so, or leave it out under moonlight for an entire night, which works best when the moon is full.

How to Heal with your Wand

There is no right or wrong way to work with a wand. There are, however, a few common basic methods. These methods are not set in stone, but are merely a rough guideline to help you to get started. A big part of working with stones, whether or not you are using them for healing, is listening to your intuition. The energy vibrations of a stone will speak to you if you listen. As you work with your wand and gain experience using it, you will eventually come up with a method which works best for you and your wand(s).

How To heal a specific condition (on yourself or someone else) 

1)   Begin by drawing the "bad" energy out of the affected area. Do this by holding the wand over the wound (it is not necessary to touch the body with the wand) with the point pointing away from the area being healed. While doing this, picture in your mind the crystal drawing the negative energy out of the body, through the crystal, and then out the pointed tip. Some people also draw a circle or spiral in the air above the wound by waving the wand in a counter-clockwise direction as they move it over the afflicted area. Some people speak out loud in prayer, or repeat the intention, or speak other words of healing. Again, there is no right or wrong way to do this. Use your intuition and go with what you feel is best. 

2)   To replace the negative energy with positive energy, and thereby heal the problem area, do the opposite. Hold the wand point down over the afflicted area as you visualize healing energy coming down into the crystal, through it, and then into patient's the body in a focused beam of energy. If you waved the wand counter-clockwise when drawing out the negative energy, then wave the wand over the area in a clockwise motion. If you spoke words during the removal of the bad energy, you may wish to also speak words while the problem area is infused with healing energy. Use your intuition to determine when the healing is complete. It could take anywhere from one minute to 15 minutes or even longer. After completion, some people say a prayer of thanks.

How to scan the aura and chakras to locate and heal blockages

1)   It is easiest to have the patient in a laying down position. Begin wherever on the body you wish and hold the wand horizontally over the patient, but not touching the patient. Slowly move the wand over the entire body. As you do this, take note of any areas in which the wand feels different. It may vibrate, or become warm, or feel harder to move, or feel heavier. These are the areas where there are blockages in the aura or chakras.

2)   Once you have finished scanning the aura, go back to the blocked areas and use the wand in the same way as above, first removing the negative energy, and then replacing it with positive energy.

An alternate way to scan the aura

• With the patient lying down, hold the wand point up and move it over the body slowly in small counter-clockwise circles beginning at the feet. Whenever you feel that there is a blockage, pause at the area and remove the negative energy as before. If you feel the need to change the wand's movement, then do so. Once the area feels clear, return back to the counter-clockwise movement and continue scanning the body up towards the head, stopping again whenever you sense there is a blockage. 

• When you reach the crown of the head, reverse the wand so it is pointing downward, and swing the wand over the patient's body in small clockwise circles, working your way back down to the feet. This will recharge the energy fields in the aura and chakras. If you once again feel an area of blockage, turn the point back upwards and remove the bad energy until it feels cleared. Then turn the point back downwards and return to waving the wand in small clockwise circles over the body, beginning with the area that was just unblocked. 

Note: Again, there is no right or wrong way to do this. Just listen to your intuition to find the way that is best for you.

Brazilian Agate

Brazilian Agate is formed from microscopic crystals of quartz laid down in bands. This is a very stable crystal. Agates are grounding stones, bringing about an emotional, physical, and intellectual balance. They aid in centering and stabilizing physical energy. Agate has the power to harmonize yin and yang, the positive and negative forces that hold the universe in place. A soothing and calming stone, agate works slowly but brings great strength. Its multiple layers can bring hidden information to light.

This mineral can be used to activate success in dowsing and in divining. Fastened with twine or leather upon the end of a willow, it has led the user to lost items. Brazilian agate can be used to facilitate immense strength, to assist one in diversification in fields of endeavor, and to promote meditative states and astral projection. 

Brazilian minerals such as Brazilian Agate are known for balancing the four energies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  It does this by cleansing and stabilizing the “aura”.  The net result is improved strength, courage, pragmatism, calmness and critical thinking ability, as well as better concentration, more confidence and an overall feeling of composure.

Physically, it has been known to improve digestion, blood circulation and help with bruises, muscle spasms, headaches, gastric ulcers and even childbirth.

Known for its natural beauty and banded, multi-colored patterns, the history of agate shows how it was widely used throughout ancient societies for mystical healing ceremonies.   Much of the Brazilian agate seen today has been found in volcanic cavities.   It was formed when a mixture of saline water and gas bubbles formed within cooling lava, which explains the intricate patterns and unique designs on these stones.

Worry Stones / Thumb Stones

Worry Stones / Thumb Stones

According to Irish folklore, if you use a worry stone made from Connemara marble and rub it during times of distress, it will free your life from all worries and bring you good luck.

What exactly are these stones that spell worry? 

Well, for those who don't know, the name may sound like a stone that invites trouble; however, what it actually does is just the opposite. Its smooth surface and flat shapes make it a friendly companion for you to carry anywhere at anytime and help you feel relaxed whenever you want.

If it were in our hands, we would name it something like 'soothing stone' or 'relaxing stone', but for now, let's just consider, "What's in the name?" What matters is the fact that this stone is used in related to behavioral therapy as well. Also, it has been scientifically proven that these stones benefit our psychology in many ways.

Meaning and Usage of a Worry Stone
Worry stones are a form of de-stressing stone that work towards relaxing your troubled mind when you rub them with your thumb. They are believed to be originated in ancient Greece. However, various other places including Tibet and Ireland are also linked with their origin. In fact, multiple Native American tribes are also known to have used this concept for relaxation. While initially, normal rocks found in water bodies were used for the purpose, these days, fancy stones with engraved markings of messages such as happiness, peace, calm, relax, and the like have come into the picture. In fact, these stones are also being manufactured using semiprecious gemstones.

Using it is as simple as rubbing the magic lamp and calling genie. All you have to do is place this flat stone in between your thumb and index finger. Rub the stone using your thumb so that the continuous motion activates the nerves situated at the base of your thumb that results in releasing natural endorphins. This, in turn, induces a sense of calmness and relaxation in the body and mind.

Yellow Calcite

Yellow Calcite and Honey Calcite

Yellow Calcite is often used to enhance one's will and self-confidence. The sweet, subtle, and vibrant energy of Yellow Calcite can sometimes be felt when placed directly on the Solar Plexus Chakra and can infuse one with a sense of new hope and optimism to face the future. Those who can benefit most from Yellow Calcite's work on the Solar Plexus are people who are pessimistic, sarcastic, or overly analytical.

Yellow Calcite has often been called "the great eliminator". People with anger management issues can meditate with Yellow Calcite to help open them up to knowledge of Divine Love and compassion, which can soothe the fire within that often causes violence.

Physically, Yellow Calcite can be used to assist in hormonal imbalances, painful muscles and the detoxification of the kidneys. It is a stone of healing and balance. Yellow Calcite can also help to calm anxieties and soothe the nerves. 

Honey Calcite is a stone that will gently amplify energy. It also assists in the challenges associated with change in general. It enhances psychic abilities, astral projection and higher consciousness.

Orange Quartz- Tangerine quartz

Orange - Tangerine quartz

 

Tangerine Quartz is identified as a quartz point, mass or cluster that is stained with a Hematite (Iron Oxide) film or coating.  This stain is on the outside of the crystal and can be removed when cleaned in an acid bath.  Polishing or tumbling can also remove the color.  Tangerine Quartz can range in hues from pale yellow to deep rust.

Metaphysically, Tangerine Quartz is a remarkable tool to use when working with the issues of Inner self (understanding, acceptance, growth).  It helps to evaluate and face these inner issues without judgment or criticism.  The energy of Tangerine Quartz allows for the forgiveness and release of past issues/traumas that no longer serve and in fact have held us back from going forward.

Tangerine Quartz works well with the Sacral Chakra energies, enhancing creativity and the acceptance of Change.  Tangerine Quartz supports balance in the Sacral Chakra and helps to "Put the Past in the Past".  It is a crystal of strength and tenacity.

 Tangerine Quartz exhibits an energy that allows a greater understanding of the events affecting us in our lives.  Tangerine Quartz can be used to find a place of calm and center after a physical or energetic trauma.  It can help heal from a psychic attack, fostering a sense of compassion and understanding rather than assigning blame.

A wrapped Tangerine Quartz Pendant or point would be a wonderful piece to use when you feel pulled in to a situation that is filled with chaos or drama.  It will give you the strength necessary to step out of this dense energy, as it raises your frequency to a more positive vibration, making your interactions with others more enjoyable and productive.

Had a difficult day? Place a Tangerine Quartz point at each outside corner of your bathtub with the points facing towards the center.  This mini grid will allow for the release of tension and stress built up during the day.  It will also ground and calm the chatter of the mind, allowing the “What if’s” and “I should have’s” to gently melt away.  This same formation can be used in meditation as well.  Simply sit as you would in meditation and place each point facing towards you-one in front, one in back, one on either side.

The energy of Tangerine Quartz is amazingly subtle, smooth and highly effective.
