Crystals for depression

 

Does it seem odd writing about depression now? The sun shining and the warmth of spring easing out the aches of a cold and damp winter. But what we often ignore is that some people just don't like the sun. It gets them down in just the same way as Christmas or the dark winter nights might affect others. 
I was reminded of this by this email from a client in my inbox today and thought I'd share the answer with all. I hope it helps someone.
You helped me before Phil which I appreciated very much. Can you tell me which crystals are good for depression as I feel so low- I just can't be bothered doing anything and feel life is passing me buy. I hate feeling like this Thankyou 
There are quite a few crystals that can help you.
Garnet can help give you a boost of positive energy. 
Malachite and mookaite can even you out if your emotions are swinging up and down.
Malachite and zircon can help depression especially if it’s linked to insomnia and keeping you up at night.
Aqua aura and gold will help if you feel weighed down with burdens.
Tiger’s eye is a “feel better” stone and will lift you out of the doldrums. Quartz crystal and citrine may also help this.
Bowenite can help you put the adventure back into life.
Chrysoprase calms the mind and will help you see through the fog of confusion.
Sapphire and idocrase will help depression liked to a feeling of being spiritually lost.
Peridot will help cleanse your system leaving you feeling lighter and brighter.
Pink banded agate will ease depression brought on by matters of love or caused by a broken heart.
Kunzite, lepidolite and staurolite will help you change behaviours and climb out of depression.
Try Lapis Lazuli if your creativity has taken a knock.
Coral and jet can help if you’re depressed because you are tied up with other peoples issues.
Rutilated quartz and tourmalinated quartz can aid when the depression gets really bad and helps relieve despair. 
Smokey quartz if the depression is linked to personal issues of body, looks, injury etc.
And finally black opal can give you a “kick up the bum” when it’s time for you to move on out of depression.
With all these crystals keep them near you, carry them or wear them in jewellery and hold or play with them as often as you like.
Please feel free to email or phone if you have a specific personal question or if it's more general just comment on here and I'll reply soon.
Wishing you all a blooming spring :-)
Love and crystal light
Philip

Crystals for pregnancy

For you during pregnancy unakite and moonstone can be beneficial. Moonstone can help to balance hormones and unakite emotions linked specifically with this big change. Chrysocolla is good for both you and the healthy development of your baby. You can carry all these with you 24/7. Rose quartz is nice to have around but try having a bath with rose quartz. Use rough rocks and add bubbles of your choice  If you find yourself unexpectedly drawn to a different crystal it may well be the baby calling out – yes I believe this can happen! So just add the crystal to the ones you are carrying whoever it is meant for, it can’t harm, only balance.
Opal, Moonstone and Pearl are all traditionally used to ease the birthing process. Malachite and covellite can help birth too, easing both physical and emotional pain. 
Peridot has been used to stimulate birth contractions. Lepidolite is an odd suggestion, but it can help you let go of things and has been applied to aid difficult births (you won’t need that one but you might like one around anyway – it does lots of other good stuff )
 
Generally if you can I’d have a quartz cluster, amethyst cluster and rose quartz rock in the room with you. Coral and jade are traditional 1st stones for a child.
 
I hope this helps, please ask if you need more information. 
 
Most of these crystals are on the website but the ones that aren’t I have at the unit and there’s often more choice too, such as stunning amethyst clusters and a massive stock of quartz clusters and rose quartz rock. You’re welcome to visit or order by phone 07808 730750.
 
Wishing you all happiness and joy

I'm often asked about crystals for pregnancy and have written about it befor both on this website and in my magazine column in Take a Break's Fate & Fortune. I was recently asked this agin, the full Q & A are posted in the Forum. But this Blog seems to reach many more people so here goes...

Please help the ponies!

Dear Philip
I am the founder of a charity on Dartmoor that rescues moorland ponies, we are desperate to purchase some land that has come up for sale very close to our stable yard, the vendors are preferring to go to auction with the sale and not to sell before the auction.Is there a crystal that i can place on the land to aid our purchase. We are so desperate i have offered way above the asking price but with so many other prospective buyers i am afraid we may lose out.This will be crucial for are rescues anything you can suggest will be of great help, the auction takes place on the 6th May so your prompt attention would be most appreciated.
Love & Light
Maureen Rolls Animal Communicator
My reply...
Hi Maureen
You’re email has been forwarded by Take a Break’s Fate & Fortune magazine - What a problem! And it’s quite a quandary as to what to advise.
Citrine will bring abundance that could mean more land but could also mean NOT spending the money so you have more money for a future project or the general welfare of your rescues.
Adamite, Amethyst, Cinnabar, Citrine, Diamond, Dioptase, Garnet, Gold, Green Moss Agate, Lepidolite, Phenacite, Ruby, Spirit Quartz, Sunstone, Tektite, Tiger’s Eye, Topaz, Tourmaline and Verdelite can all be helpful in bringing abundance, the acquisition of wealth and material items. – so you could try any of these.
Green moss agate is also good for the land and may be the crystal that will bring the best outcome for all whatever that may be.
I personally like citrine and have a specific crystal that helps bring me what I need. Perhaps the ponies need one of their own? You’ll need a brand new citrine crystal. Cleanse it. Keep it with you/them 24/7 until the auction and ask it to help you specifically acquire the field for a reasonable price. You could try this with tourmaline too.
An alternative is to plant a basil plant and place a red tiger’s eye (falcon’s eye) crystal on the soil under the plant. Water well and see what it brings. Many people have found this works – have a look at my blog; here’s a link to the relevant topic http://www.thecrystalhealer.co.uk/epages/thecrystalhealer.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/thecrystalhealer/Categories/Philips_Blog&ViewAction=ViewTag&Tag=lucky%20red%20tiger's%20eye
Third option is to programme a quartz crystal with the intent of winning the land. I’ve covered this in detail in several of my books and it’s not a quick answer but if you are not aware of it and want to give it a go let me know and I’ll email some instructions.
I would also like to put this on my Facebook page and ask anyone else to send energy and healing thoughts to you, the land and of course the ponies. Please let me know if that’s OK.
I hope some of this helps.
Best wishes
Love and crystal light
Philip
AND what you can do...
SEND energy and healing thoughts NOW! And every day till 6th May. Also visit thier website http://www.swep.org.uk/ or email at mail@swep.org.uk

Attracting new customers

One question I'm asked in one guise or another most regularly is "Can you recommend crystals or gems I could carry with me or put in a bracelet or necklace to attract new customers OR any techniques that you know to work? And can you also recommend any books on the subject?"
And you thought from the title that this was going to be a list of my most attractive customers! No - couldn't possibly as ALL my customers are attractive :-)
Back to the question...
I always work with citrine and sometimes with red tiger’s eye (falcon’s eye) and basil see my blog – Philip’s crystal blog – Oh, yes, you're here arn't you? Anyway here’s a link to the relevant pieces http://www.thecrystalhealer.co.uk/epages/thecrystalhealer.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/thecrystalhealer/Categories/Philips_Blog&ViewAction=ViewTag&Tag=lucky%20red%20tiger's%20eye
 
I prefer citrine and have several crystals selected specifically for the task. Firstly you need to select one new crystal just to help you attract more customers. Cleanse it and then spend some time getting to know it. Ask it to help you find more customers, or you can be as specific as you like here, and keep it with you 24/7 repeating your request daily for at least two weeks. Then keep it somewhere appropriate, such as a till in a shop or by your telephone if you take phone bookings or perhaps by your computer if you have a website and just give it a rub when you need more customers!
 
Other crystals that may help include Adamite, Amethyst, Cinnabar, Citrine, Diamond, Dioptase, Garnet, Gold, Green Moss Agate, Lepidolite, Phenacite, Ruby, Spirit Quartz, Sunstone, Tektite, Tiger’s Eye, Topaz, Tourmaline and Verdelite can all be helpful in the acquisition of both wealth and material items. Citrine known as the “money stone” attracts riches. Keep a crystal in your pocket, purse or wallet. Amethyst, Cinnabar and Ruby help you focus on money matters and Iolite and Stibnite can aid financial management. If you are addicted to the material world then try working with Larimar to let it float away.
 
I’ve also produced a CD on Prosperity with Cassandra Eason that may be of some help see
http://www.thecrystalhealer.co.uk/epages/thecrystalhealer.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/thecrystalhealer/Products/02mu78
 
I also cover this subject in all my books in one way or another. And in closing as it says in someone else's book - may you live long and prosper.

Rainy day meditation, crystals for a rainy day

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 medmeditation_nights_2.jpgitation 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.
