Welcome to Crystal Wisdom. In keeping with the theme of the power of thought (energy form) and the positiveness that we clearly need to exude so as to heal ourselves and this planet, I posed the following question to many fellow colleagues; namely, what crystals and gemstones might you select as being needed to accomplish this?

Please continue to refer to the Gemstones and Crystals Book List that I have compiled. I am still working on the creation of prototypes for several gemstone kits that will feature my domain name and graphic, Portals of Spirit, but it will take time before I am able to offer such here.

The most effective way to use any gemstone for healing purposes is to wear it as close to the skin as possible. Some women like to "hide" their gemstones within the deep inner recesses of their bras, but the vast majority prefer to wear their chosen gemstone around their neck on a silver or gold plated chain.

Gemstones may, if so desired, be held in the hand while you are watching television during the evening or while you are reading a favorite book or magazine. The healing energies of your chosen gemstone(s) will then be gently absorbed into your physical and mental bodies whilst you are relaxing.

You may also like to place your gemstone under your pillow at night whilst you are asleep; thus allowing the energies of the stone to gently penetrate your subtle body whilst you are in a deep state of sleep.

Certain stones can help you to develop your spiritual abilities and gifts. Use an Amethyst, for example, in developing your intuitive awareness; a Lapis Lazuli for acquiring wisdom and truth and a Moonstone for obtaining humanitarian love and sensitivity. Use your gemstones wisely in the pursuit of all your ambitions and needs.
