I keep being asked about combining crystals, which crystals can you keep together? which crystals work well together and crystals that amplify other crystals. The simple rule (if there are any rules?) is that you can keep any combination of crystals together. Many people say that when they combine crystals they all work better. As each crystal is working not just on a specific issue but on an aspect or specific cause of the issue it is hardly surprising to find this. For example rose quartz, moonstone and chrysocolla all improve fertility but all work slightly differently. One will be the right one for you but we have little idea which (you could dowse these with your crystal pendulum). When you combine all three they always work, so they "appear" to be working better as a group than one by itself. As crystals work by balancing whatever they're working on, if you don't need a crystal it will just look pretty and do no harm.

There are many crystal combinations that work well together such as citrine and crazy lace agate for confidence or tourmaline and smokey quartz (smoky quartz)for protection. There are obviously too many to go into, the positive combinations are endless, so try them for yourself.

Ruby amplifies the effect of any crystal it's placed near. Other crystals are reputed to do this too such as green fluorite and diamond. And some change the effects like Herkimer diamond which brings out the spiritual side of any other crystal.

But, as I said, there are no rules... so try your own combinations.

Rain patters down on the windows, thoughts come and go floating through my mind. Meditation brings peace and allows healing energy to flow. I notice the citrine crystal in my pocket. Citrine brings light, energy, laughter and joy to any rainy day. And of course this sets my brain in motion.

So here are some crystals to pick you up on any day you feel a bit down,

"crystals for a rainy day.."
Firstly jasper helps lift your mood whist amazonite and calcite ease your fears and worries making you feel better. Quartz crystal brings light and sparkle into your life and carnelian energy. Copper, lepidolite and peridot are all "feel better" stones doing what it says on the tin! Chrysocolla can help any hormonal imbalance bringing you down and chrysoprase helps you see through any confusion in your mind.

And the thought of meditation reminds me to mention my new CD (not that I really needed reminding!). Meditation Nights - Angels of the Rainbow Waterfall. It takes you on a magical journey into a safe space in your own home, where you can relax and refresh your soul. Perfect for a rainy day meditation.

Surprisingly this is a question I am often asked! :-) Of course the real question is which crystals will help fertility and the answer is simple. There are 3 crystals that will definitely help: chrysocolla, moonstone and rose quartz. And the advice is always to work with all three together. They work in different ways and you never really know the reason, unless it's a serious physical one, in which case we can't really help facilitating pregnancy, but can still help you come to terms with your situation.

Chrysocolla works on both physical and emotional levels, moonstone on hormonal balance and emotions and rose quartz on mental and emotional balance. When there's no medical reason why you can't get pregnant there is always an emotional issue which may be concious or not. In fact, it's common for you to have absolutely no idea what the reason is. Trust the crystals and as I said, work with all three thither as they are all working slightly differently.

I've also seen great success with Reiki and reflexology too, especially when combined with crystals.
