Carnelian can be a very helpful stone. It seems to have the ability to help us ground ourselves in the present, to make decisions based not on our past ("I've always done this" or "I don't like big changes") but on exactly where we are in the present moment; thus teaching us to focus and manifest personal power. The stone is believed to help in the flow of creative energies. It also strengthens astral visions. It can energise us, stimulate courage, self-confidence, ambition, and mobilise us into action, helping people to speak out and assert themselves. Orange is one of the best colors to use where shock, or an accident, or illness have occurred. Where there is rigidity, stiffness, or inflammation, carnelian can help restore the correct energy flow.
Celestite gives one peace of mind and relaxation, thereby accelerating spiritual growth, allowing creative expression to blossom and introducing your higher self to divine awareness. This crystal promotes clear thinking and, thereby, the vocalisation of truth. When we learn to release expectations, be they positive or negative, we develop a new kind of understanding which is based on trust, rather than on certainty. With this level of trust we are able to stop filtering out information which doesn't agree with what we "know," and learn to receive without judgment new insights. Because of its peaceful energy, this crystal also helps to cool anger and to relieve tension. In meditation it is most effectively placed on the throat chakra, although you can get some very interesting results by placing it on the third eye. Celestite, a beautiful crystal which connects with the Celestial Kingdom, will attract Angels into your life. Also denoted for channelling and beautiful dreams.

Chrysocolla is one of the gentlest of stones. It is not a high-energy stone like Quartz, Rutilated Quartz, or Smoky Quartz, and unlike Obsidian, Malachite, and Lapis Lazuli, it doesn't bring buried emotions to the surface. Its role is to soothe and calm. Its color alone is soothing, a deep blue-green which might remind one of a secluded mountain meadow or the bottom of the sea. Some people have said that Chrysocolla looks like the earth as seen from space. This, in combination with its Goddess-like qualities, makes this is a natural stone to use in meditating for world peace. Hold this very special piece of the earth in your hand, and visualize the peace and calm which emanate from it spreading until it circles the globe.
