The Magic of Crystals
Choosing a Crystal
The crystal that speaks to you is the one for you. Don’t be fooled by bright, shiny and big. These are not
necessarily the most effective, although beautiful crystals such as those recommended here can work
wonders. Small, misshapen and less attractive crystals often have the same power – and cost a great deal
less. When you visit a crystal shop, notice which crystal catches your eye first. It will probably be the one
for you. If you are looking for a specific crystal, plunge your hand into a tub and the one that sticks to your
hand has your name on it. Take it home, run it under the tap to cleanse its energies, and then hold it in both
hands and programme it to respond to you by dedicating it to your specific purpose.
Depressed
Beautiful pink Kunzite is an excellent stone for depression as it actually contains small amounts of lithium,
(used in conventional psychiatric medicine). Kunzite lifts the spirits, releases emotional baggage and
removes obstacles to your path. Place in your pocket and handle frequently, or make a gem elixir: place
the crystal in a glass bowl in spring water and leave in the sun for l2 hours. Bottle and sip frequently.
Lonely
If you are lonely you can do no better than to place a large piece of unconditionally loving Rose Quartz in
the relationship corner of your bedroom (the rear corner furthest right from the door) or alongside your bed.
It also make a wonderful candle holder for rituals to attract love (see The Crystal User’s Handbook.). It is so
successful that an Amethyst may need to be placed alongside to marshal friends and prospective suitors
into an orderly queue!
Heartbroken
Wounds to the heart can make you cautious about trying love again. This painful condition can be healed
with the help of softly banded Rhodocrosite. Worn as a pendant over your heart., this gentle stone teaches
your heart how to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down and improves your self worth. It is
excellent made into a gem essence and sipped three times a day for a month (add one-third brandy to the
gem essence to preserve it).
Angry
Anger can be a destructive and debilitating emotion. Soothing Agate gently dissolves the kind of bitter anger
that eats away inside you. If you choose the Blue Lace variety, you will find that it calms and lifts your
thoughts, and has the added benefit of opening your throat chakra so that you can communicate your
feelings clearly. Keep a piece with you at all times and hold it whenever anger threatens to overwhelm you.
Jealous
Peridot is an extremely helpful for anyone with a jealous nature as it alleviates jealousy, resentment,
spitefulness and anger, and reduces stress. It enhances confidence and assists in looking back to the past
to find the gift in your experiences, and shows how to forgive yourself. A clear emerald green, Period is
often set as rings, or pendants and can be worn daily.
Tired
Ametrine gets to the bottom of things! It’s powerful cleansing properties disperse negativity from the aura
and toxins from the body. An exceptional blood cleanser and energiser, it regenerates the physical body
and strengthens the immune system, it is particularly useful for chronic fatigue syndrome and M.E. For
maximum effect, place over your thymus (just above the heart) for twenty minutes night and morning, or
make into a gem elixir which can be sipped frequently.
Stressed
Crystals make wonderful palm stones to be held whenever you are stressed. Fluorite is particularly
effective as it not only relieves mental stress and helps you to think more clearly, but it also protects against
computer and other electro-magnetic sources of stress – leave yours on the computer when you need both
hands for your work and you will see an immediate difference in how you cope.
Uninspired/Unmotivated
If you feel uninspired try wearing a sunny Topaz. It sheds golden light on your purpose and inspires
limitless possibilities, your motivation gets a kick-start whenever this powerful crystal is near.
Impoverished/Poor
Abundance is a state of mind. It connects you to a constant flow of nourishment, support and creativity.
Place an abundant Citrine in the wealth corner of your home (furthest rear left hand corner). A geode is
splendid but if you can only afford a single point, it will still draw wealth to you in all its forms.
Pessimistic/Cynical
If pessimism is your problem, a glinting, glitzy Sunstone is your answer. Encouraging optimism and
enthusiasm, Sunstone switches to a positive take on events. Even the most incorrigible pessimist responds
to Sunstone. It is particularly beneficial when worn in the sun as this doubles its effect.

The Magic of Crystals
I have been working with crystals all my life both for healing and scrying. I’d
instinctively wear one myself, intuitively place several on a client’s birth
chart - or on the client if I was seeing them face to face, or I’d hold one for a
few moments to energise it and then send it wherever it was needed. My
home always has crystals around because they feel good to me, and many
are programmed to help other people, or the world. But it wasn’t until I
wrote The Crystal Bible that I appreciated quite how many crystals there are,
and the enormous range of possibilities they encompass. Researching
Crystal Prescriptions and The Crystal Healing Pack took me back to the use
of gemstones for healing in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and beyond.
It truly is an ancient science and has led me to looking at the history of
birthstones, which link my twin passions of crystals and astrology, in much
greater depth.
Crystals are objects of beauty and power. They can attract a
soulmate; protect you, your car and your home; energise or relax, and heal
everyday ailments. Crystals cleanse and invigorate the energies in your
home and workplace, and they can even change your future. I’d like to
share with you some crystals that I find particularly useful, many of these
are old favourites but there are one or two new ones too. Several of them
can be found in The Crystal Healing Pack in which I share crystal healing
techniques using twelve master healers that form an excellent ‘first aid’ kit
for every level of your being.
Good vibrations
If you are surrounded by good vibrations your health and wellbeing are
assured and crystals have always been revered for putting out good vibes. I
wear a beautiful piece of Shattuckite and Ajoite. This stone protects against
subtle ill-wishing, connects me to higher levels of being, and offsets the
effects of mobile phone and Tetra masts as well as computers. If you, like
me, are sensitive to mobile phone emanations, then taping a piece of Black
Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz (which is in the Crystal Healing Pack) onto the
phone works wonders as it re-integrates your auric field. Black Tourmaline,
Smoky Quartz and Amethyst (also in the pack) are excellent for turning
back ill-wishing or curses and are highly protective when worn in a spiral
around the neck – and, traditionally, Amethyst has the added attraction of
warding off inebriation. If you want to keep your energy clear at all times, a
Quartz crystal can be used to ‘comb’ all around your body about a foot out.
It absorbs negative energy, repairs weak spots in your biomagnetic field, and
re-energies your whole body.
A Labradorite crystal (included in Crystal Healing) with its unexpected
scintillating flash of blue is a wonderful energy protector that also pulls in
spiritual power. It is an excellent stone for therapists and those who work
with other people as it enhances intuition whilst preventing taking on other
people’s problems or negative thoughts or energy.
I believe that intuitively choosing a crystal is the best way of all of
selecting exactly the right stone. I keep a selection cleansed and ready to
wear. Each morning I look casually at them, if one attracts my attention, I
wear it. And feel better for so doing. You could do the same with the twelve
master healers in the Crystal Healing Pack.

If you feel stressed out and need to relax, lying with the stones from
the pack on your chakras does the trick. It cleanses and re-energizes each
chakra, balancing them; helping you to relax and bringing about a sense of
well being and good health.
Healing the heart
Going through the break up of a long relationship a year or so ago, my heart
felt somewhat battered and the crystal I found most soothing was Rose
Quartz. In a channelled message of hope and healing I was told not to let
bitterness enter my heart chakra. Rose Quartz gently melted the resentment
I was feeling and healed the abuse of trust, lifting away the bitterness. For
many months I wore a protective Rose Quartz pendant over my heart and
slept with a piece under my pillow to protect my dreams. I was able to use it
to send forgiveness in a ritual that I included in the Crystal Healing Pack
because, with so many relationships breaking up, people need help to do
this.
To heal further, in meditation I would travel the whorls and labyrinths
of Rhodochrosite as I attuned the divine love at its heart. I also used Rose
Quartz in a ritual to take back my heart from the careless hands to which it
had been entrusted. When my heart felt whole again, I used the Green
Aventurine and Rose Quartz from the pack to reactivate my higher heart
chakra, the place of compassion and unconditional love.
Rose Quartz is also the stone to use if you want to attract more love
into your life. Place the largest piece you can find by your bed, and put one
in the relationship corner of your house too – this is the farthest right corner
from the front door. If you can find a crystal that has two equal sized
crystals side by side on a common base place this here too. Many Candle
Quartzes can be found in twin formations that spring from a joint base and
they are excellent for this purpose as they symbolise mutual support and
loving interdependence. It will attract a twinflame into your life: a twinflame
being a soulmate without the karma and without the hassle. Something we
all need in our life!
Combating energy vampires
It is all too easy to lose energy to other people without really knowing why, or
even that it has occurred. The main symptom is a feeling of weariness or
slight depression, and very low energy. I used to think that this leaching
happened through the solar plexus but became aware that it happens to a
greater extent through the spleen chakra located about a hand’s breadth
beneath the left armpit. If you get a nagging pain there, or feel a tugging,
then an energy vampire is at work. This may be a family member, partner or
friend, client or work colleague. Fortunately the antidote is simple. Tape the
green Aventurine from the pack or, if you are lucky enough to find one, a
light green Aura Quartz crystal over the chakra, or wear one on a long chain
so that it reaches to the end of your breastbone.
Living in a safe space
Crystals are an excellent way to ensure that you are in a good space.
Unfortunately these days most of us are bombarded with unseen
electromagnetic radiation, to which many people are sensitive. I live near an
electricity sub-station, not my first choice of location as I’m all too aware of
its potentially health depleting effects – although I have turned this around
and affirm that it will energise me. As soon as moved in, I gridded the whole
3
garden with pieces of Black Tourmaline, positioning one at each corner. I
then placed Amazonite, Amethyst clusters and Smoky Quartz points on the
windowsills (with the points pointing away from the house to deflect the
energy). The house feels clear and, on dowsing, registers no averse
electromagnetic emissions. These stones are equally effective for any ‘bad
vibes’ that may be affecting your home or workplace. My computer is
surrounded with Fluorite and Lepidolite to further protect my energy but you
could use the Smoky Quartz, Sodalite or Amethyst from the pack for this.
Changing your life
And finally, if you want to change your life, find yourself one of the new Shift
Crystals. These amazing, high-energy stones formed from Quartz that was
laid down on Calcite. The Calcite then dissolved away leaving fissures and
caverns studded with beautiful crystals. When one was first put into my
hand, I simply could not let go. For years I have used a visualisation of
travelling into a crystal cave when leading meditations to find your soul
purpose. Now that crystal cave was in my hand and I could feel all my old
programming dropping away and the energies quite literally shifting as I
attuned to my purpose. It was a moment for which I had been preparing for
over a year. Naturally I took this new friend home, and I sit with it every
night. I can feel my life changing as I write.
