Crystal Garden - It has been a week since I went to Crystal Garden and purchased healing crystals. Let me tell you - the energy is amazing! After clearing the crystals (more later) I used what I knew about Feng Shui and placed the crystals in my home where the energy is needed.

Whenever I leave the house I bring the crystals with me - I also purchased a beautiful silk bag to carry them around in. I can pull out the crystals as needed. For example, I was getting filled with some anger and resentments at my ex for things said and done so I took out the crystal, Aragonite - Blue, which is helpful in periods of stress and/or anger and provides insight into basis of problems. I put the crystal near my heart and let the energy in. You can also just hold the crystal in your hand for a while. I have even put the crystal on my neck, right on my pulse.

CLEARING CRYSTALS - is necessary before any stone is used in healing. The clearer the energy of the stone, the more powerful it is. Crystals and healing gemstones need to be cleared as soon as they are purchased to cleanse the rocks of any negativity. There are several methods. I chose to do two different cleanses. Thats part of my OCDness...

The first method I did was to hold the crystals under cool running water, points down to drain the negative energy right down the sink!

I also purchased sage at the Crystal Garden. I ran the stones through the smoke from the sage to purify the stones.
