Purification, energy cleansing, and elevated awareness are just a few of the gifts provided by Selenite crystals. This powerful stone has a high vibration that works its magic on the crown and third eye chakras, giving its users the ability to connect with higher consciousness, intuition, and spiritual guidance. It’s capable of quickly and effectively cleansing your auric field, plus, it can dissipate the negative energies that accumulate in the physical and energetic bodies. Take a deep dive into the benefits of owning and using Selenite crystals in your everyday life, then add a new piece or two to your collection today!   What is Selenite? Selenite, which is closely related to fibrous gypsum, is a hydrous calcium sulphate mineral. The stones are typically long and tubular in shape, with a natural wand-like look to them. With a hardness of 2 on the MOHs scale, it’s an incredibly soft stone that in some instances, can be bent in the hands of its users. Selenite crystals have been used by many civilizations throughout history. The name Selenite was given to the stone by the ancient Greeks (from the Greek word Selene, which means moon). Some say it was given this name because the colour and sheen of Selenite crystals reminded the Greeks of the moon itself. Others say the name was given because Selenite was exclusively used by the Greeks to make windows that allowed one to see the moon at night. In Ancient Mesopotamia, Selenite was used to keep evil spirits away, which is not far off from the cleansing and purifying intentions with which we use these crystals today. Although Selenite can be found in Australia, Greece and the US, the most popular form used by healers and those with mineral kingdom practices, come from Mexico.     Working with the Selenite Wand Selenite is a powerful stone that when used in wand-form can strengthen the properties of other crystals, open the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, cleanse the auric filed and break up negative energies, elevate conscious awareness, clear stagnation, and so much more. Point your Selenite wand directly at the Third Eye to clear the higher Chakras and create space for elevated awareness. Use the stone in meditations that are designed to help you meet with your spirit guides or visualize past and future incarnations. Or close your eyes and rest a Selenite stone over your heart to receive guidance or higher wisdom from you spirit guides. Similarly, placing a Selenite wand along the spine can help to clear the energy pathway and align the Chakras. Selenite can also be used to activate crystal grids which may be made with a variety of stones depending on your intentions (such as working toward emotional healing, manifestation, spiritual enlightenment, etc.). Consider pairing Selenite with Amethyst, Angel Aura Quartz and Blue Calcite to create powerful combinations for vibrational healing. Another popular way that many crystal owners use Selenite is to cleans and purify other stones in their collections. Set your intention and then point your Selenite wand at the stone you intend to cleanse.   Keep Selenite Vibrant and Strong Whether you use your Selenite Crystals frequently or not, it’s important to purify and recharge your crystals regularly. As a stone that is associate with the moon, Selenite does especially well when charged under the light of the full moon each month. If you need to clear the stones more often, set your intentions and use sage to cleanse each stone. There are many other methods for cleansing and recharging crystals, but when it comes to Selenite, using water is not advised. Selenite is a very soft stone, and with time, water can dissolve and damage your Selenite crystals.   Selenite for your Astrology Although all individuals can benefit from adding Selenite to their collections, Selenite is especially recommended for individuals who were born under the Taurus sun. Taurus people tend to be very earthly beings, and as such, may struggle to connect with higher energies and/or other worldly beings. Selenite can help a Taurus evolve spiritually and experience greater happiness throughout their time on Earth. Additionally, it can help Taurus people clear away negativity, eliminate harmful thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and enhance intuition. All in all, if you’re a Taurus, adding Selenite to your collection may help you experience a greater sense of inner peace and establish higher connections while remaining grounded.   Start Working with Selenite Today Ready to incorporate the purification, energy cleansing, and elevated awareness that comes with using Selenite into your life? Open your Third Eye and Crown Chakras, cleanse your auric filed, break up negative energies, elevate your conscious awareness, clear away stagnation, and work toward your own spiritual evolution with help from the all mighty Selenite.

Have you been expanding your knowledge of crystals lately, reading up on Sacred Geometry, and looking for ways to combine the powers of crystals and sacred geometry in your practice? Creating your very own crystal grids is one way to go about magnifying your intentions, but did you know that purchasing crystals that come cut in the various shapes of Sacred Geometry can be a bit like taking a short cut? Earlier in your exploration of crystals, you may have read about the various shapes crystals come in, particularly simple shapes like spheres, towers, pyramids, geodes and more. To revisit those basic shapes, check out our guide to crystal shapes and what to expect from each one. If you’re already refreshed and ready to dive even deeper, then keep reading! Today we’re talking about some of the less common and more complex crystal shapes. Orgone Energy Devices Orgone isn’t so much a shape as it is method for managing the energy of certain crystals. Orgone Energy is comparable to what the yogis call Prana and traditional Chinese culture refers to as Chi. It’s a life-force energy that is believed to exist in-and-around everything at all times. Orgone crystals are designed to manipulate Orgone Energy to promote healing. Making Orgone Energy Devices involves the infusion of resin with a mixture of quartz crystals and metal shavings. These devices can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the intention behind the device. Although the intention behind all Orgone Energy Crystals is about shifting negative energy to positive energy, the shapes you choose and how you use these stones can play a role in what sort of energy is shifted. Like all crystals, you can use your Orgone Energy Devices in meditation, for manifestation, as decoration, under your pillow at night, or however you prefer. Since Orgone Energy Crystals are man-made, it’s important to choose a trustworthy retailer when purchasing them. Poorly made Orgone Crystals won’t have the same powerful effect as those that are made more skillfully. Merkabah Crystals Merkabah shaped crystals look a little bit like two pyramids put together – one pointing upward, the other pointing downward. The result is a 3-dimensional star-like shape, similar to the star that is commonly seen within Jewish Religion. This shape is highly effective at helping its users connect with the Higher Self, and establish higher states of consciousness. Use Merkabah shaped crystals in your meditation or Reiki practice, and when exploring alternate realms or planes of consciousness. Commune with the divine, seek spiritual protection, and work on rising to meet your full potential. This shape pairs well with crystals that facilitate divine connection, spiritual protection, and higher consciousness, such as Amethyst, Obsidian, and Clear Quartz. Crystal Skulls Have you ever seen a crystal skull before? These are crystals that have been cut, carved, and polished to resemble the shape of a human skull. Skull shaped crystals have been used for their protective abilities for more than 2000 years, and although some may associate these specially carved stones with “dark magic” or the occult, this simply isn’t true. Many mineral kingdom practitioners use crystal skulls to protect against negative energy, create an energetic barrier around their auras, dissipate their dark emotions, and prevent the negative emotions of other people from attaching to their own emotional bodies. You can also use your crystal skulls to activate the Crown Chakra and work with psychic abilities. Skulls are ideal for doing shadow work, and pulling hidden emotions to the surface so that they can be released. You may find that you like to use crystal skulls as unique decorations around your home or office, and doing so offers the added benefit of protecting your energy while occupying these spaces. Consider pairing this shape with crystals that offer similar benefits. Skulls work especially well with protective stones like amethyst and obsidian.  Selenite Plates Selenite is a unique stone with the special ability to clear and charge other crystals. Selenite plates are special trays made from Selenite crystals that are designed for this exact purpose. To cleanse and charge your stones, simply place them on your Selenite plate. You can choose to leave them there overnight, or perform a quick ritual with a specific intention in mind. Selenite also has the ability to magnify and amplify the energy of anything that is placed upon it. That means you can also use your Selenite plate to strengthen your intention when working with crystals. These plates come in a variety of shapes such as rectangles, circles, triangles, hexagons, bowls, and so on. Working with a particular shape has the same effect of working with a grid. When adding a Selenite plate to your collection with the intention of amplifying the effects of your crystals, be sure to choose a shape that works with the energy you’re calling in. Platonic Solids A Platonic Solid refers to some of the three-dimensional shapes we often see in Sacred Geometry. These shapes are characterized by having equivalent sides, angles, and faces, such as Cubes, Pyramids, and Octahedrons. Crystals that are carved into the shapes of specific Platonic Solids give you the opportunity to work with both the crystal’s energy and the energy associated with the Platonic Solid you’ve chosen. For example, a Rose Quartz Pyramid will offer its users the emotional healing and Heart Chakra activating benefits of Rose Quarts, plus the balancing and stabilizing energies provided by the Pyramid Shape. Crystal Flames In the world of crystals, the flame shape represents the element of fire. Working with the fire element can promote transformation, inspire creativity, provoke personal empowerment, and so much more. The fire element is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra and working with this energy can help to stimulate your solar plexus. Need to give your Solar Plexus a powerful boost? Choosing crystals that offer similar benefits, and purchasing them in a flame shaped variations can pack a powerful punch! Consider stones like Citrine, Yellow Aventurine, Agate, and Sunstone. Or, work on igniting your creativity by adding a flame shaped Carnelian, Lapis Lazuli, or Garnet to your collection. You may choose to meditate with these stones, use them as decorations in your home and office, or use them as the centre piece for a crystal grid. Freeform Crystals Although often polished and carved to show off their natural beauty, Freeform Crystals tend to be irregularly shaped. Depending on their size, these crystals can work well as natural decorations for your home, or as stones you can easily carry around with you in your everyday life. Without a specific shape, these crystals may not offer any added or amplified benefits on their own, but will still work well in meditation, manifestation, grid work and everyday use. Rough Crystals Crystals that come in raw and natural forms are the most basic. While some may have natural shapes that resemble their inner anatomic structures, which can take the form of certain Sacred Geometric patterns, most will be irregular or unusual, rough and at times awkward, with some level of natural imperfection. Some believe that these naturally shaped, untreated stones are more potent than those that have been polished and cut into various shapes and sizes. Whether this is true or not, Rough Crystals are much more aligned with nature and therefore offer an extra dose of grounding, and can promote earthy energies in the spaces where they are kept. These crystals are also excellent tools for anyone who is working through issues with perfectionism, self-acceptance, and natural beauty. If you are someone who needs more grounding in your life, or, if you’re interested in working with Earth energy, then you may benefit from adding a few Rough Crystals to your collection. Choosing the Shapes that are Right for You There’s no right or wrong way to choose the shapes of your crystals. You may choose different shapes for different crystals depending on your personal needs, or even just based on what you like and find attractive. Differing shapes have the ability to offer new energies and benefits into your crystal practice, which is great. However, the important thing to remember is that every crystal has its own properties, uses, and benefits. While selecting specific shapes may amplify your intentions, having the wrong shapes for the wrong intentions won’t hurt you or your practice.  Ready to add some new shapes to your collection?

    Do you want to learn how to cleanse and recharge your crystals at home, quickly and increase their high energy vibrations? Crystals are mostly natural and come from all over the world, and they carry a vibration and energy with them that has a particular effect on their surroundings, but also the energies surrounding the crystal can affect the crystal itself. These energies could misalign the true natural vibration and it is important for them to be restored before using the crystal or after you have used it a few times. To maintain the energy of the crystals they need to be cleansed and recharged now and again once they find their new home. We will take you through 6 ways you can use to clean and recharge your crystals.  Sage smoke - smudging Our preferred way of cleansing crystals is by bathing them in sage smoke; this process is called smudging. Sage smoke has a deep cleansing effect on multiple levels. Firstly, we use it to realign the crystals’ energy after its journey to us and before the journey to you.  This is also great if you want to gift your crystal to a friend afterward and they will be ready to use straight away. Most types of sage are antimicrobial and some also have antibacterial properties. This helps to keep bacteria, fungi and viruses at bay. To smudge the crystals you will need a smudge stick, a ceramic or clay bowl and a lighter. After lighting the smudge stick, you can place the crystals in the bowl and fan the smudge stick around the bowl so the crystals are  bathing in the smoke. Another way is to leave the stick in the bowl, have the crystals in your hand and fan the smoke towards your hand but away from yourself. *Please never leave burning sage unattended, we recommend to always have water nearby. Check out our range of Sage Cleansing Sticks here   Dry brown rice Leaving your crystals in a bowl of dry brown rice will draw out any negative energy that the crystals may have. Simply submerge the crystals in dry brown rice overnight, or preferably for at least 24 hours and dispose of the rice straight after. The various forms of water Not all crystals are safe to cleanse and recharge with water. We recommend this method only to cleanse hard crystals such as Amethyst and Quartz. The best water cleansing ritual will be to fully submerge the crystals in a natural stream of water and dry straight away afterwards. Running tap water will also cleanse the crystals from any misaligned energies. A third water ritual is using saltwater. Again, natural saltwater will be most effective to use, alternatively you can add rock or sea salt to a bowl of water and leave the crystals to soak for a few hours.   Use of mother earth Mother earth has given us wonderful and powerful ways to help animals, humans and herself. You can place your crystals onto the soil, bury them in the ground or even place them in plant pots that also benefits the plants!  Simply place the crystals for 24 hours onto or into the soil. Please be mindful that some crystals do not like too much sun as that may cause harm to their colouring. Also be careful of any creatures that may be interested in your shiny gems as well.   Other crystals Yes, you can use other crystals to cleanse and recharge your crystals as well! For example, Selenite has a powerful cleansing effect on all crystals. We love to place the crystals on a Selenite stick or slab for at least 12 hours. You can also use larger crystals, especially big Amethyst cathedrals that have stronger and higher vibrations. Simply place the smaller crystals in or on top of the cathedrals. Additionally, a crystal like Carnelian that is a self-healing stone is also great to use. Try to pick the mid to larger pieces that have  strong enough vibrations to provide cleansing energy. How to recharge your crystals We at Tali & Loz love to live by the moon cycle and we take our crystals with us on this journey. Of course, you know how the moon has a strong effect on Mother Earth and everything that shares her space. The oceans' tides follow the moon, and there are even more births around the full moon than the new moon as human behavior is affected by the presence of the full moon. Similarly, the vibrations of crystals will be much stronger after you bathe them in full moonlight. They feel full, vibrant and powerful after a good bath. We love to place the crystals in a safe place outside, facing the full moon if possible, or otherwise on the window sills. We start our ritual early in the evening and take them inside once we have woken up. Some crystals don’t like sunlight so we would suggest not to leave them out for too long.   All of this information may leave you with extra questions as well. We have collected the top 3 questions on cleansing and recharging your crystals for you right here.   How often should I cleanse the crystals? There is no ‘one size fits all’ answer here unfortunately. We recommend to cleanse and recharge at least once per moon cycle, so every 29 days. But, sometimes you may need to carry particular crystals with you more often or have them around you when something stressful or traumatic has happened. In that case, we recommend to cleanse them as soon as possible after the event and feel their  vibration. If the vibration of a crystal feels weak, leave it  aside until a full moon recharge.   If Selenite, Large Amethyst and Carnelian charge other crystals, do they need cleansing and charging as well? Even though Carnelian is a self healing crystal, we believe our Carnelians LOVE a full moon bath. This is also true  for Selenite and larger crystals that can charge other crystals. We don’t find that charging other crystals weakens their energy at all. . But giving them a bit of extra love with  a full moon bath certainly gives them a boost.   How do I know they are properly cleansed and charged? This is a question that will be answered by your own intuition. Crystals have a certain vibration, each individual piece has its own energy, which comes in to play when you choose a crystal.  After a cleanse and recharge session, simply hold the crystal between your thumb and index finger, feel its energy and if needed just close your eyes for a second or two. If you feel the crystal feels weak after a full moon, charge the crystal another night straight away and then most certainly, your precious stone will feel vibrant. If you just did an ‘in between’ moon cycle cleanse, you can introduce another cleansing session, or alternatively place the crystal aside for a full moon charge. *Feel free to leave your questions and comments below or email us!   Love & Light, Laura   Related Blog Posts Want to learn more about how crystals can help you heal emotional or physical imbalances?

  The Crown Chakra is the 7th chakra and is located at the top of your head. Also called Sahasrara or the crown lotus, it is represented by the colour violet, deep purple, white or gold. This is why, as you will see, white and light violet-coloured stones are some of the best and most popular choices to use for Crown Chakra healing.  Whether you are a novice or an expert in meditation work, using crystals can be an incredibly powerful addition to your practice. As you learn more about the best stones and crystals for your Crown Chakra, you will also heal parts that have been neglected and open up access to higher states of consciousness.  Why work on your Crown Chakra?  If you are meditating with Crown Chakra crystals or contemplating doing so, you are probably already on a spiritual journey. You have chosen to change your life and move towards a state of higher knowledge, consciousness, and self-realization.  One of the most important things to keep in mind is that working on your Crown Chakra requires that all other chakras be in alignment first. This is because a lot of high vibration crystals work together and stimulate all chakras from the heart up, that are focused on spirituality and healing.  When you chose to work on your Crown Chakra, you are choosing to improve the energy flow governing your body and how it travels through to everywhere else.   What does a blocked Crown Chakra feel like?  If an open Crown Chakra leads you closer to deeper understanding and spiritual awakening, a blocked Crown Chakra can lead to fearful and toxic thoughts that move you further away from your inner truth.  You may feel more pessimistic with the way your life is heading and exhibit cynical or rude behaviour out of the blue. Your friends and family may also comment that you have lost a bit of your energy or "flame" and are constantly tired.  As you work on rebuilding your Crown Chakra and correcting the imbalances, the fearful and guilty nature will be replaced with bliss and you will start to appreciate life around you once again.  Repairing a blocked or imbalanced Crown Chakra may also bring back confidence in yourself and your abilities to set new goals and dreams for the future. It will also stop destructive behaviours that were holding you back.   Crown Chakra Qualities:  Knowledge Bliss Higher consciousness Presence Wisdom Realization Read more: Basic Guide for the Seven Chakras   Best Crown Chakra Stones and Crystals  You can shop our Crown Chakra Crystal collection here or discover out Crown Chakra Set!   Amethyst  One of the most popular crystals for Crown Chakra work, Amethyst has an  intense high vibration and is one of the most powerful spiritual stones to use during your meditation.

People who incarnate in this world to facilitate healing in others come in all varieties, from yoga teachers and energy workers, to mental health counsellors and nurses, and beyond. However, regardless of what avenue you find yourself exploring as a healer, incorporating crystals into your work is a game changer. To get the most benefit, you’ll want to explore our top 15 best crystals for healers. Whether you work in a healing profession or simply bring healing to others in your everyday life, these crystals offer a variety of benefits to serve your needs as a healer.   Crystals for Protection All healers – regardless of what sort of healing field they work in – must protect themselves in order to do their work with integrity and good intentions. If you want to avoid being negatively impacted by your good work, or holding onto anything that’s not yours, add a few protective stones to your collection. There are several stones and crystals that offer spiritual and energetic protection, we recommend Tourmaline, Labradorite, and Obsidian as the best crystals for healers when it comes to protection. Tourmaline Like Quartz crystals, Tourmaline comes in a variety of forms, colours, and  energy spectrums, but when it comes to seeking protection as a healer, Black Tourmaline is the way to go. These stones offer psychic protection while keeping the auric filed clear, even when you’re working with someone who suffers from extreme imbalance, chaotic emotions or destructive energy. Keep the bad vibes away by carrying this stone with you while at work, and meditating with your Tourmaline following a healing session, or shift at work. You may also find that sleeping with Tourmaline under your pillow at night offers an extra dose of auric clearing and purification so you feel refreshed each morning. Labradorite Labradorite is an extra special crystal for healers. This powerful gem offers protection by creating a force field throughout the aura to shield your energies within, completely blocking out anything and everything external. It can prevent others from plugging into your energy field and draining you as you do your work (whether they’re trying to do so intentionally or not). Wearing or carrying this stone while engaged in your duties as a healer is a must for protection. As an added bonus, it can also help to boost your spiritual gifts and abilities. Activate and strengthen your inner magic while at work with this stone, or during your own, personal meditative experiences. Obsidian Obsidian is another stone that comes in a variety of colours and types, but when it comes to protection, Black Obsidian is the way to go. This grounding stone offers its users psychic protection and has the ability to cleanse away negativity. Keep this crystal in your healing space to protect your environment from negativity, or wear it and carry it with you to give your own energetic field an extra dose of protective energy. Black Obsidian is ideal for eliminating any negative energy that you may be carrying with you from your own experiences with life, as well as helping the people you work with in eliminating their own negative energy. That’s why it’s one of the best crystals for healers.   Crystals for Higher Consciousness and Good Vibrations As a healer, it’s important to have a high level of conscious awareness and good vibrations to positively impact your healing environment and the people you work with. Isn’t that why you’re a healer – because you have the ability to impact energy in a positive way for the benefit of others? That doesn’t mean you don’t need a little extra help sometimes, though. You are human after all. Find support in continually elevating your conscious awareness and keeping your vibrations high with help from Clear Quartz, Fluorite, Celestite, Angelate, Blue Topaz, and Super Seven Clear Quartz Working with Clear Quartz in your own meditation and crystal practices can help you keep all your Chakras aligned and in check, which is essential for  maintaining high conscious awareness and good vibrations. Amplify your energy and abilities while using this stone in conjunction with your work, or program your stones to help you manifest certain intentions in your work with yourself and others. Clear Quartz is the only stone that can be programmed with an intention, making it an essential crystals for healers. Fluorite Much like Black Obsidian works to clear away negative energy, Fluorite is like a psychic vacuum cleaner with the ability to do away with confusion, mental clutter, and negative thoughts.

Celestite The energy of Celestite works like a gentle nudge toward expanding your awareness for access into higher realms.

It has the ability to facilitate communication by stimulating the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. You can also bring soft, positive and uplifting energies to your environment by placing Celestite clusters throughout your healing space.

Angelite Another good crystal for working with angels and spirit guides is Angelite, which  works as an anchoring talisman for the energies of these energetic beings. Wear or carry this stone with you to aid you in receiving loving guidance from the energies that exist on higher planes, whether that guidance is for you or the individuals you work with in your healing practice. Blue Topaz Blue Topaz in an excellent crystal for healers because it helps to clear the lines of communication between you and the people you work with. Use it in your work to help to magnify your psychic abilities and gifts, particularly as it relates to following your own inner guidance. Or work with Blue Topaz regularly through meditation to gradually enhance your abilities over time. If you feel called to work with crystal grids and layouts in your work as a healer, Blue Topaz is an excellent stone to work with.
