HBIC of Crystals

Let's talk about the HBIC of crystals, an Amethyst.

An amethyst is a purple hued stone. It's the birth stone for February and the stone of an Aquarius zodiac sign. Amethyst's are a part of the quartz family and date back to 2000 BC. They are mined and found all over the world.

One of my first crystals was an Amethyst and it truly is a great one to start out with. Amethysts are known for protection, peace, cleansing, healing in anxiety, headaches, stress and so much more. They are great for healing practices, reiki and meditation. I use an Amethyst when I meditate and also have one at the front door of my home. They are very calming when holding. It has helped tremendously with my anxiety.

Amethysts are said to break patterns and aid in moving to a higher consciousness. Vibrating higher is the goal!

They should be cleansed and charged regularly as they can take on a lot. Amethysts can be placed in water but keep them out of the sun as their beautiful purple color can fade.

A great way to cleanse is in the rain or with sage. Charging in the moon light or air works wonders but placing next to selenite is also a great was to charge.

Like I said, an Amethyst is a great stone to begin with. It is a 'do-it-all' stone and is easy to work with. I recommend picking out your own stones, especially an Amethyst. It is best to focus on the stone you are drawn to, as it creates a connection and allows the properties to work better with and for you.

When meditating, here are some affirmations I say with my Amethyst.

I am protected.

I am at peace.

I am calm.

I am healthy.

I am loved.

I am safe.

I do not accept toxicity.

I allow change.

I accept challenges.

I choose my own path.
