THIS ARTICLE IS FOR YOU IF YOY WANT TO:• feel the energy and the subtle vibrations of Crystals and Stones• rise the ability to sense all the subtle energies (environment, people and objects). Crystals are extremely fascinating creatures and we love their colors and shapes, but do they really have a sort of energy? Is it possible to feel the energy of Crystals? Really? The energy of Crystals is so subtle that any machines or technologies can measure it, except the most sophisticated and advanced system on the planet: the human body.Yes, your own body is the only system that captures, recognizes and channel the energy of Crystals and Gemstones as well as any other pieces of information in the form of frequencies that come from the environment, objects or people. If you want to develop this sensitivity but you don't know how to start, that's the right place for you. Are you ready? Let me give you just a couple of notes before starting:• IF YOU WANT TO FEEL CRYSTAL ENERGY YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN ANYTHING: The ability to sense energy is already within you, even if it's part of your unconscious mind. You don't have to gain any knowledge, you just have to discover your own personal key to awake this innate talent. If you think you're different, and you think you could never sense their energy, I can guarantee you're wrong.• THE IDEA OF FEELING IS NOT THE FEELING ITSELF: Probably you have read a tone of articles and books about crystal energy but still, you can't sense their energy! Why? Because the idea of feeling is not the feeling itself. You need to experience the journey, not listening to the story! Awakening the power to feel the energy of Crystals also means feel the energy of places, objects, other people and also your own energy more clearly. It means awakening and raising your Energetic Intelligence. In fact, the energy of Crystals is just a portion of the entire world of subtle vibrations. You can't feel information that Crystals bring if you don't train yourself to listen to the multitude of energies that constantly flows outside and within yourself.So, that's why the first two steps you should follow are about how to awake your innate ability to feel and understand the energy flow around you. FIRST STEP Allowing the energy flow The first step to awake the ability to feel Crystal Energy is activating the first (Root Chakra), Second (Sacral) and Third Chakra (Solar Plexus Chakra). The Second Chakra, the Sacral, is key. It has the function to let the energy flow into the body densely and fluidly. The Second Chakra is the energy of the inner alchemy where you experience sensuality, creativity, spontaneity, hunger, desire, pleasure and need. If you feel you need you should work to awake your Sacral Chakra, here's some activities you should try: • Experience physical movements: when you hear a song you love, let your body move in the most spontaneous way whether thinking you're doing the right movements or not. As an alternative, you can attend a dance course. • Work on boundaries honoring your body: try to say no with a sweet smile when is necessary and observe the feelings that raise within you. • Establish the rule of healthy pleasures for yourself: eat clean and testy, avoiding ready-made, too fat or junky food and drink more water. Cultivate healthy and joyful habits to yourself in general. • Boost your journey with the right Crystals: wear Stones and Crystals that assist you in opening your Sacral Chakra like Fairy Stone, Amber, Cacholong, Chalcopyrite, Brown Aragonite, Garnet, Fire Opal, Sunstone, Hematoid Quartz, Imperial Topaz, Tantalite and Vanadinite. Go there for more. SECOND STEP Recognizing the flow When you had re-established the energy flow of your base Chakras you also have to create a "new space" for yourself. It doesn't necessarily mean having more time for meditating, doing yoga or anything that requires more time to your schedule.If you want to develop your inner power to create, move and feel, there's a way that is usually much more effective and fast than meditating occasionally.Everything you need is a simple mind shift that doesn't cost anything in term of time and money and that completely transform your life contributing to melt stress gaining peace and serenity. So what do I mean with mind shift? Just pay attention to every energy around you every moment of your day, when you're driving, walking fast, over a meeting, during a coffee break with your colleagues, when you're washing the dishes, when you eat... every ordinary moment is an opportunity to discover yourself and the world more. Awakening your inner power to recognize the energy flow could sound a mystical "kind of hippy thing", but it's the opposite. Feeling the energy around and within you is fundamental in every situation, from the most challenging to the most ordinary ones. Every moment offers you the opportunity to build and raise happiness only if you are able to globally evaluate and understand the situation. If you want to do that, you need to have a quite clear perception of the energy flow, not just knowing the physical/material datas. WHAT TO DO IN PRACTICE If you're newbie in feeling the energy flow within and all around here's how you can awake this skill: Wherever you are, unlock your mind from everything is related to past or future. Everything you are and you have is the present moment. Pay attention to your breath. Now you're fully present, your body is solid, your heart is beating and your senses are informing you about what's happening around. Every gesture, sound, smile, color, shapes, smell and so on.Now you're present within your body.You're fully opened to your emotions and subtle feelings whatever they are, without judging, interpret or censoring them. Removing any expectation, just listen and be there to receive. That's key to manifest the unexpected and wonder. And again, judging yourself doesn't make sense, there is not a right or wrong here. Now you realize that events are the manifestations of your own energy and you're safe from mental and emotional invaders.This is an act of openness, not a skill. "As you train ears to appreciate harmonies, you can develop spiritual and psychic organs as the way to get access to the world of the soul" Rudolf Stainer THIRD STEP FEELING CRYSTALS Now that your can listen to your body and subtle energy more (second step) you're ready to feel the energy of Crystals and Gemstones. May you still need a little bit of patience at the beginning but I'm sure that what you'll feel will be authentic and extremely helpful for your personal and spiritual growth. WHAT TO DO IN PRACTICE • STEP ONE:Standing, take a crystal in your hand, if you never feel the energy of crystals before making sure to choose a stone with a quite simple vibration like Smoky Quartz, Black Septarian or Meteorite, for example. Feeling how it interacts with your energy field will be easier than with a stone with complex information. ps. to better tune your energy to your stone take off jewelry that could shield the fully interaction with your stone like Shungite or Diamond for example. • STEP TWO:Visualize (with open eyes or closed as you prefer) an energetic cone that intentionally comes from your heart to the stone and listen without involving the mind. If you prefer, you can also visualize the energy field of the stone that overlaps with your aura.Tune your attention to your stone now without any expectation, just listening. • STEP THREE:Pay attention to all the subtle vibrations within your body, every tingling, inspiration, every energy flow that your body unconsciously generates and start to observe your feelings and sensations.Try to ask yourself something like: Which areas of my body are the most sensitive to the stone? Where do I feel the stone most?Which sensations am I feeling? Or, as an alternative,knowing which is the Chakra that the stone stimulates you can start to experience how this Chakra reacts. For example, if you have a Carnelian in your hands, start connecting your energy to it. Then, listen how your Sacral Chakra (the primary area of Carnelian) reacts to the frequency of this Crystal. Doing that you can start learning where the Chakras are located and how its energy flows within your body. You don't need to reply at loud or by words, it's an inner job. Recognize the feeling and observe it.When the vibrations of the stone interact with your energy field and you feel a sense of releasing and openness, that vibration is the information you need to evolve, that is the stone that supports you over this moment of your life. and now? PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE If the first times you try you feel nothing, it's completely fine. You just need to train yourself to be more patient and accept the adventure with trust. Mind to don't expect anything, just listen and I can guarantee you that your progress will be unexpectedly fast. I know that "don't involving the mind" could sounds easy but actually it requires focus because we use to involve the mind, and also overstimulated it, in any process. With this practice you also learn to find your way to leave the mind instantly creating a place of relaxation when you're overwhelmed or you need to clean your mind before an important decision.

Looking for stones for your magickal toolkit? Here’s a crash course in 40 of the most commonly available crystals and gemstones. Working with crystals can improve your personal energy, amp up your spellwork, and help you create the life you desire. This handy guide will help choose the right crystals for you, whatever your goals might be. After you’ve read these crystal meanings, I encourage you to spend some time gazing at and handling your crystals. Crystals are a hands-on, eyes-on, heart-on hobby. One of the best ways to study them is to visit with them. It sounds kooky, I know—but many stones will tell you all about themselves if you take the time to listen. Collecting crystals is a blissful and transformative experience. Here at Grove and Grotto, our own crystal work has undeniably changed our lives for the better. But we never recommend crystal magick as a substitute for medical care. If you’re seriously ill or distressed, get qualified help before rock shopping, mmmmkay? Here they are, in alphabetical order, 40 magickal stones and their metaphysical uses: Amazonite Sea-green Amazonite carries all sorts of positive meanings: Serenity, creativity, and brave self-expression. It is one of the best talismans for artists and performers. It clears self-doubt and inspires love of beauty. Amazonite is found in a pale celadon hue (see picture) in Brazil, China, and Africa. The bright turquoise variety is a new discovery and comes from Madagascar. Amethyst One of the most magickal stones on Earth, Amethyst is a favorite of witches, healers, shamans and seers. Purple is a color that is seldom found in nature, and Amethyst has an exquisite vibration to match its rare hue. Amethyst is great for meditation and for managing the emotions. It calms anxiety and balances fear and excess. Amethyst gently stimulates dreams and visions, inspiring you to become your highest self. There are countless colors and shapes of Amethyst, each with slightly different properties. Angelite A lovely stone with a lovely name, Angelite is formed by the compression of Celestite over millions of years. (Yes, it is actually condensed heaven!) Angelite is soothing and uplifting. It is a popular choice among Angelic healers, channelers, and lightworkers. Angelite can assist in making contact with ancient guides and smoothing the way toward higher states of awareness. Don’t get Angelite wet—it didn’t wait all these millennia just to turn into calcite in your jacuzzi, thanks. Apatite Apatite is a semi-precious gem that can be found in a wide range of colors, most often green or blue. Apatite is a stone of confidence, truth, and creativity. It is used by energy workers to help balance overactive energy centers and stimulate underactive ones. Apatite is a wonderful crystal for working with the Third Eye and Throat Chakras. It helps awaken and develop gifts of clairvoyance, telepathy, and lucid dreaming. Apatite brings mental clarity and improved communication. It makes it easier to speak to others with authenticity and directness. Black Onyx Black Onyx is a glossy dark gemstone that evokes the deep and restful properties of Earth. It is a stabilizing, balancing stone said to assist with mastery of the body's energy. Black Onyx can strengthen determination and willpower, and help bring wisdom in difficult circumstances. Black Tourmaline One of the premier protective stones, Black Tourmaline has long been used as a shield against evil spirits and negative energy. A Root Chakra stone, it helps in grounding and releasing stress and emotional baggage. (It is especially useful for empaths.) Black Tourmaline is also considered a lucky stone—rub a piece of Black Tourmaline when you need a little extra boost of luck! Blue Aventurine Blue Aventurine is a naturally colored Quartz crystal. Sometimes called
THIS ARTICLE IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO:• learn how to start your journey with crystals• learn to sense the energy of stones and Crystals• improve your sensitivity understanding non verbal communication• improve your energetic intelligence• You want to start your journey as bioenergetic Crystal Therapist At the beginning of my journey with Crystals, I thought that just a few super-sensitive people were able to sense crystals' energy. Therefore, everything we could do was buy their books and memorize each crystals' properties, having a very scarce understanding of what these actually meant. I started to feel myself a little bit frustrated because all I could actually do was repeat what other people said about Crystals, and most importantly, I had many questions that no one could address as I expected.I was doubtful about the effectiveness of working with crystals and stones for healing. So I started studying more and more from the most popular authors, but, to me, it was like something huge was missing, although I could not figure out what it was. One day, I came across the research of Stéphane Cardinaux and Regina Martino, who, with a vast group of collaborators, in more than ten years of double-blinded tests, discovered that Crystals have a measurable electromagnetic field, and this field interacts with our own energetic field, repeating common patterns. In other words, Crystals and stones, with their subtle energy, affect our energy in a way that everyone can sense because it's part of our biology. Then, I started to investigate and experiment on my own and with a group of friends and therapists for years. Everything changed. I had found that vital piece that was missing. Crystals are not magic tools that only "the mystics" can understand. Instead, they are good for all of us because Crystals are natural beings of light, like we are. That's why the best tool we have to sense crystals is our own body. Not our mind, our visions, or specific rituals done at a specific time, but our own body, always accessible. Now you know that you can sense the energy of crystals and that you can use it to better understand your own energy and balance it. But how to start? Even if sensing stones is a skill you already have, it requires a little bit of practice before being able to manage it consciously and confidently. The purpose is not learning (you're already capable). Instead, it's awake your own ability to bring the message to the consciousness. This is how we become aware of our energy centers, raising our energetic intelligence with crystals. And then, you'll also identify the best crystal remedies for other people. All you need to do is train yourself in physical experiences with your stones, remaining open to every subtle sensation you feel, expecting nothing—just observing. In this article, you will find a selection of stones I recommend starting with. I selected these stones for your first steps in crystal healing because they provide a very simple frequency that stimulates only one energetic area. That way, you can focus your attention on one Chakra per stone. This approach will facilitate your journey in becoming more and more aware of how crystals work in the Chakra system. Learning to Master Body's Energy Flow with Crystals: the groundwork To prepare yourself to the practice your need a few minutes of quiet, with no distractions. Before practicing, you can go out for a walk, do some yoga or stretching, to relax your body and mind, supporting your own natural energy flow. Learning to Master Body's Energy Flow with Crystals: the practice Here's the stones you need:Labradorite, Black Tourmaline - Knees Chakra - Jet Stone, Smoky Quartz - Root Chakra (1^ Chakra)Sunstone, Brown Aragonite - Sacral Chakra (2^ Chakra) Citrine, Honey Calcite - Solar Plexus (3^ Chakra) Nephrite Jade - Heart Seed Chakra -Pink Kunzite, Pink Opal - Heart Chakra ( 4^ Chakra)Turquoise - Higher Heart Chakra - Aquamarine, Blue Opal - Throat Chakra (5^Chakra)White Jade, Fluorite - Third Eye (6^Chakra)Amethyst, Lepidolite - Crown Chakra (7^ Chakra)Cobaltocalcite - Soul Star Chakra. If you cannot take all of them, I recommend you to get at least one stone per Chakra (in this list, you have two). Ahead in this article, you find some basics about each stone and the sensations they provide within the body. They are not all feelings you may sense. Instead, just some possibilities. The important thing now is to focus on the energetic area where every stone works. For example, if you're working with Aquamarine, you may sense tension, release, tingling, or any other feelings at the level of your throat because of the frequency of Aquamarine vibes to unlock the energy in that area. By training yourself in sensing stones with this exercise, mind that: • you are not in competition with anyone. This is something you do for yourself. No one judges you. • if you do not feel anything, that's absolutely normal at the beginning. Many of the best therapists (and friends) I know felt nothing at the beginning of their journey, but they didn't give up, and at some point, something clicked. • be honest with yourself, do not expect to perceive anything, just remain open and listen. HOW TO DO • Find a quiet place.• Stay standing (identifying the areas that will be activated will be a little bit easier this way) with your feet well placed on the ground and your shoulders straight. Takes a few conscious breaths to your body to be in its center. • When you're ready, pick up your stone and focus your attention and your presence to it.Everyone has one's way of connecting to stones. If you're starting your journey with Crystals, you may have to discover your own unique way to do it if it does not come spontaneously the first time you try. • Now, listen to what happens within the area where the stone vibes. Give yourself permission to trust yourself. Everything you sense is real.Notice every subtle movement, tension, or release. Explaining these feelings is not actually easy, but do your best and take some notes before checking the ones I share here below.If you feel nothing or feel any kind of sensation in an area that is not related to the stone, that's ok. That's why you're here. Here below, you will find my very essential notes about each stone. It may help to verify and compare your own sensations with the basic actions. But again, if what you sense is not included in what you find here below, that's amazing. Here you find only the primary feelings, and plus everyone senses stones slightly differently. Behind every sensation, the key is the energetic area, the Chakra. You're starting your journey with Crystals, right? So the most important step now is sensing the frequency of each stone working in the area related to it. *NOTE: What you find here below are not the properties of stones but instead the feelings that their frequency produces. KNEES CHAKRA • Black Tourmaline: from behind the feet, a flow of energy rise upwards, giving more stability and solidity to the legs, enhancing its frequency until the below area of the back. Direction, verticality. • Labradorite: Opens a wide space from knees downwards. Openness, multi-direction. ROOT CHAKRA - 1^ Chakra • Jet Stone: the pelvis and legs (from the knee upwards) find relaxation, stability, and balance. Reliving of legs.• Smoky Quartz: Tingling in the thighs in the front, warm feet, head straight. Forward and vertical direction. SACRAL CHAKRA - 2^ Chakra • Sunstone: light tingling on the lower pelvis in the front, joy, relaxation. Large radius opening forward, without pushing• Brown Aragonite: support of the part between the lower back and the butt. Multi-directional opening with a sense of confidence, relaxation. SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA - 3^ Chakra • Honey Calcite: gentle and progressive opening forward at the navel level. Kind invitation to the unknown.• Citrine: intense forward opening at the navel level, encouraged by a forward thrust. HEART SEED CHAKRA • Nephrite Jade: spiral movement at the level of the middle back, just above the kidneys. Multi-directional movement in a circle. HEART CHAKRA - 4^ Chakra • Pink Opal: Opening a sweet, wide, and progressive space behind the back at the level of the shoulder blades. Proposal to welcome the infinite beauty of the present.• Pink Kunzite: straight back, the heart acquires new layers that strengthen it. Verticality, firmness in kindness. HIGHER HEART CHAKRA Turquoise: warmth in the thymus gland' area, between the heart and throat. Subtle tingling to the shoulders and arms. THROAT CHAKRA - 5^ Chakra • Blu Opal: slowly opens a large space in the back of the neck, relaxation of the ears and hearing.• Aquamarine: opening forward with encouragement to action in the throat, firmness, and freshness. THIRD EYE CHAKRA - 6^ Chakra • White Jade: relaxation of the muscles surrounding the skull, especially in the back and behind the eyes.• Fluorite: relaxation at the level of the temples. CROWN CHAKRA - 7^ Chakra • Amethyst: opening at the level of the cranial fontanel, relaxation of the muscles of the skull starting from the top.• Lepidolite: relaxation of the skull's muscles, its internal structures, and of face, up to the shoulders. SOUL STAR CHAKRA Cobalto Calcite: straightening of the spine. Breathing wider, clearer vision. Opening a space above the head. Mind that the key is practicing, like everything we learn in life. You'll see that the more you practice, the more you'll trust your senses, and the more you trust your senses, the more you'll be able to bring these sensations to the conscious mind spontaneously and be aware of them. COMMON QUESTIONS • When I connect my attention to Black Tourmaline, the only thing I feel is a kind of headache! Why? When an energetic area is deficient in our energetic system, we tend to engage the one that we typically use more frequently, and that commonly exceeds to interpret the message. Because of our culture and lifestyle, the irradiation of the front of the Third Eye (at the level of eyebrows) exceeds in most of us in the modern western world. That's why you sense Black Tourmaline on your head. Your root chakra bypasses the information to the third eye because it's not enough developed to decode the message. If so, working on the Root Chakra for a while will help tremendously helpful. Then you can come back to Black Tourmaline, and you'll see that your perception will change drastically. • After a few times that I work with my stones, I keep feeling nothing with any of them. Do you have any further suggestions? Sure, first, do not doubt your senses. Mind that crystals spread subtle frequencies, so what you'll feel is subtle sensations, so remain open. Second, with the crystal in your hand, do not try to visualize, imagine, or think. Just perceive the energetic space around your body. Feel how it's dense and rich. This energy includes the energetic space of your crystal because it's on your hand. Drive your attention to the area where your energy overlaps the energetic field of your stone. Stay there and be open to the senses. Third, practicing with other people in a group power up our perception drastically. It's tremendously helpful, especially at the beginning. Do you have any other questions or doubts about how to start your journey with crystals? Write everything in the comment and I'll be back to you very soon.
