* How to Create a Crystal Altar  Author Unknown

Creating your own Crystal Altar is easy and inexpensive. What is a
crystal altar? It is a special place where you keep your collection of
crystals for meditation and/or for an energy center in your home or
apartment. It doesn’t require much room, and can be set up in a few
minutes.

It can have crystals and stones, along with other items of nature,
such as feathers, shells, wood, water, candles and even a prayer card.
The point is you can use just about anything you choose. The important
thing to remember is that each of these items should be special to
you. I often put feathers on my altar that cross my path. You can use
a shelf or dresser top as long as it is a place that will not be
disturbed or that can not cause a fire when burning candles.

Once you have assembled your altar, the intention is to bring light
and energy to you and your surrounding area. You can program your
stones and crystals for specific use or just use them for decoration
and let them do what they do naturally, which is to dissolve and
balance energy.

Meditating by your Altar Can Help Bring You Peace

Here is something I personally like to do. If I have a friend or
family member that is having a particular problem with their health or
relationships, I draw a circle on a piece of paper. In that circle I
put the person’s name, along with positive words that can help them
with their particular problem. For example, if someone is having
health problems, I put their name inside the circle, and then put the
words: healthy, happy, peaceful, love, light, and resolution. Now I
put that piece of paper on the altar along with some tumbled stones
that I think might help with the situation. A piece of rose quartz can
always help by bringing in love and self-love. If you are familiar
with the colors of the charkas you might try a colored stone that
relates to that part of the body they are having trouble with.

Magnetic Hematite jewelry

Hematite has known favor amongst royalty since ancient Egyptian and
Greek times and that favor continues today as a must for some fashion
wearers. Named, after the Greek word, “Haima” for blood, hematite will
streak red when rubbed against a harder substance. When polished it has
a beautiful, black-gray sheen and, is often called the “Black Diamond”.
Many people that wear hematite and hematite magnetic jewelry state they
have a feeling of well-being or optimism.

Magnetic Hematite jewelry is well known for its healing power as well
as its beauty. Many studies have shown that magnets are an effective,
drug-free way to reduce pain from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome,
sore joints and muscles and reduce high blood pressure. It is said to
maintain the natural charge of the nerve cells, thus reducing pain,
increase the healing process, boost the immune system and improve
quality of sleep. Magnets help relieve pain from ailments of the hands,
wrists, and fingers, as well as pain in the neck, back, and hips, and
generally enhance physical energy and vitality. It also is reported to
help tension headaches and light migraines. In some circumstances,
people have noticed a difference within 24 hours of wearing the stones.

Making Gemstone Water

Making gemstone water is actually very simple, you will need the
following ‘ingredients’ for this:

* a glass vessel

* a gemstone

* bottled spring water or boiled (and cooled) tapwater

* a windowsill

Before you start making gemstone water you will have to make the choice
whether you wish to use the energies of the sun or the energies of the
moon. The sun will charge your gemstone water with soothing, soft and
warm energies while the various moon phases will give a different
result.

The Moon phases:

Waxing Moon: The energies of the waxing moon are suited for new
projects, new relations and to plant new ’seeds’.

Full Moon: The Full Moon is the symbol of positive magick, blessing,
creativity, healing and reinforcement.

Waning Moon: The energies of the waning moon are connected to get rid of
bad habits, negative thoughts and to build down things, to purge
yourself from all negativity from the outside world, but also from
within yourself.

New Moon: The New Moon is the time of death, a time to stop and look
inside yourself and to realize that you can always start again, no
matter what happened to you. It is the time to halt an illness or a
pattern of thoughts and give it a positive spin.

It is therefore important to ask yourself for which purpose you wish to
use the gemstone water before you start.

Put the stone in the glass vessel and fill it up to 3/4 with spring
water or the cooled down tapwater. Put the vessel with the stone in it
on your windowsill for 12 hours and leave it to ‘charge’ there without
interruption. If you have decided to make use of the energies of the
sun, you should take into account that certain stones may discolour in
direct sunlight.

You can enhance your immune system by drinking a few glasses of gemstone
water every day, but you may also use it to wash your face and/or hands,
especially for skin disorders it is advisable to use Aventurine water to
wash yourself. Next to that it is also possible to give your plants this
water, the stones that are highly suited for this are Jade and Moss
Agate.
