Sodalite- For Enhancing Your Intuition!

Sodalite is a beautiful deep blue stone that is best known for promoting your own internal voice and intuition.  We ALL have intuition, but we often need help with listening to it in our busy world.  This is where certain crystals can really come in handy.  Sodalite has so many amazing benefits, and it is not really a crystal that I see talked about often, which is why I wanted to be sure to put a spotlight on it.

What sodalite can help you with:

• Enhancing your intuition!
• Bringing inner peace
• Helping you with confidence and self expression
• Healing your throat and third eye chakras
• Releasing old, stagnant emotions and energy that no longer serves you
• Aiding in your awakening process as it can stimulate your pineal gland and third eye- things that get quite gunked up in our world!
• Managing emotions if you are over emotional, or find it had to express your emotions correctly
• Enhancing psychic abilities (which we also all have!)
• Can aid in thyroid healing when worn as a necklace since the thyroid is associated with the throat chakra
• Calming down anxiety, phobias, or fears, and can even help with enhancing your brain function
• Supporting a healthy immune system, getting better sleep, and boosting the metabolism
• Helping to support the adrenal glands when they are over-stressed and sluggish

Shungite- The BEST EMF Protection

Shungite was one of the first stones I researched, and it was the main reason why I decided to get into crystals in the first place.  I was looking for affordable and effective ways for protecting the body from EMFs as I was getting quite sensitive to my computer while working.  I found a really amazing pendant made with shungite, and it helped SO much.  I learned the history of shungite (which I’ve summarized below) and I was sold- I was already in the mineral world, so crystals seemed like the logical next step.

About Shungite:

• It’s about 2 billion years old!
• It can absorb negative energies, and purify your body of negative energy
• Shungite is the only natural material to have powerful antioxidants called fullernes. Shungite has been researched because of this component and it earned scientists a Nobel Prize! That’s huge!
• This stone can only be found in one place in Russia, so it’s very rare
• It’s a very helpful stone for grounding, relieving stress, helping insomnia, and healing the root/base chakra
• It is one of the best stones for protecting the body from EMFs- and SO much more affordable than most of those trendy items that claim to do the same

Angelite- The Angel Stone

Angelite has been a personal favorite stone of mine for most of this year.  I tend to pick crystals by instinct, and this one really stood out to me when I first saw it. The soft blue color is just gorgeous, and its energy is very calming.

Angelite got its name because it is a very helpful stone for connecting with your own personal angel guides. It is one of the most popular stones right now since many people are learning more about this connection to angels and the Universe.

Benefits of Angelite:

• Helps the Throat Chakra by aiding in communicating with others, speaking your truth, and can help you become more assertive
• Helps the Third Eye and Crown Chakras as well
• Since it is a very calming and peaceful stone, it helps the wearer to receive downloads from their angels in a calmer way. Angelite can help with deeper meditation and to enhance your own innate intuition
• Can help to protect your body against negative energies, stress, and anger
• Can help with support for your thymus, throat, and thyroid
• Angelite is a stone of tranquility and peace, so it can help you to stay calm and present during times of stress
• Angelite can help more with the 3 top Chakras (throat, third eye, and crown) when worn as a necklace. As a bracelet or loose stone, it can help more with calming your energy, connecting to your angels, and protecting you against negative energy.

Angelite is one of the main crystals to try to keep as dry as possible. Since it is low on the Mohs Hardness scale, it is pretty soft and can be ruined easily if you get it wet often. Just take extra care with angelite!

Rose Quartz: The Love Stone

Rose quartz was one of the very first crystals that I bought myself.

I’ve always loved the color pink, so that could have been part of what drew me to rose quartz. A few years ago, I had a different practitioner tell me that my heart chakra needed healing and that rose quartz would help. At the time I had NO idea how a rock could help me heal (just being honest here!). But it’s definitely been the other most helpful crystal for me personally, along with the amethyst- they tend to be put together a lot in jewelry and they work pretty well together.

Rose Quart Properties:

• Known as the love stone!!
• Increases sense of self-worth
• Great for healing romantic relationships or attracting new ones
• Opens the heart for compassion for others
• Lowers stress levels
• Great for empaths as it helps to increase empathy for others while also creating better boundaries for oneself
• Can help with those dealing with grief

Amethyst: The Empath Stone

Amethyst is probably one of the most common crystals out there, and with good reason! It is quite a powerful stone. It is a crystal that I have always personally been drawn to. Once I started learning about crystals earlier this year, it made SO much sense why amethyst was going to be my main first crystal: it is so incredible for empaths!

Amethyst is well-known for aiding in enhancing our natural intuitive abilities, which makes it incredibly popular for those that are starting to learn more about spirituality and how the Universe has our back. It is a very soothing stone too- it is great for those that tend to suffer with anxiety and restlessness. Amethyst is one of the easiest stones to find too because of its popularity.

Amethyst properties:

• Helps with inner strength
• Can enhance intuition
• Can help with calming an anxious mind
• Very grounding
• Clears the body of negative energy while attracting positive energy,
• Helps to break free of old and stuck patterns
• Can help with sleep
• Encourages creativity
• Can stimulate the crown chakra
