   Number 1: Top 5 Quick Fix Ways to Use Crystals for the New Year

   It’s a common practice to make a resolution to better yourself each time the new year rolls around, but it’s even more common that after a couple of weeks into the new year, those resolutions get tossed aside and forgotten - just like the previous year. Would you like to try something new this year? Something that will change your life right away so that you’ll actually want to stick with it? Make a resolution to clear and balance every aspect of your life, and it will result in a year you won’t want to forget. Read on to discover how you can call upon your crystals for the New Year! It's a new year! And many would have you think this means it's time for a new you. But... what if instead of a new you, you just gave the old you a little helping hand? Here are the top 5 quick-fix ways to use crystals for the new year to help you get clear, cleansed, healthy, & balanced: #1 - Clear Out Last Year's Energy to Make Room for Shiny, New Year's Energy We all do it... I do it, and you do it. You carry things from your past into the future. Sometimes these things are good, like happy memories, but other times, you carry around things that don't serve you going forward, like unresolved emotions. The New Year is a great time to start with a clean slate, so taking some time to dump your baggage is the #1 way to clear and balance your energy for the new year. #2 - Cleanse Your Space to Welcome in Some Positive Vibes Now that you've left your last year's baggage in the past (where it belongs!), it's time to cleanse your space of any energy that's no longer serving your highest good. By allowing stagnant energy to linger in your environment, you're inadvertently telling the Universe that you're fine with outdated, dare I say, "Meh..." energy in your field. You need to clear this energy out of your space so that the Universe knows you're ready for bigger and better things. Make way for positive vibes! Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post on Using Selenite & Black Tourmaline for Cleansing & Protecting Your Space so that you can welcome in some positive vibes. #3 - Clear Your Energy Field for a Positive Outlook You've gone through our first 2 quick-fix solutions for a great new year and you're on a roll! Our #3 tip is to use healing crystals to cleanse your energy field. There's no sense in clearing out last year's energy and cleansing your space just to be a big blob of energy that no longer fits in with the super positive vibes you're creating. I recommend a quick-fix Selenite "energy sweeping" technique for clearing out any energy that's not serving you in the new year. Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post, "Best Selenite Formations for Cleansing" so you can start the new year on the right foot. Having a hard time keeping your vibes positive? Whether it's your own negative thinking or bad vibes from others, sometimes negative energy is tricky to deal with. Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post, "Using Black Tourmaline to Transform Negative Energy Into Positive Vibes" so that positivity will prevail in the new year! #4 - Focus on Wellness & Self-Care Many of us remember to do the simple things like routine energy cleansing, but when it comes down to energetic self-care, it's easy to fall short. Quick and easy healing exercises are ideal (because you'll actually DO them), but are they effective? Let me put it this way, is it better to do little exercises more frequently because they are quick and easy? Or is it better to put off self-care because you don't feel like you have time, and then find yourself in an energy healing crisis because you've neglected your routine? If you're like me, you know the answer...it's always better to be doing something than to do nothing at all - especially when it comes to your energetic well-being. Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post, "3 Tips for Self-Care with Crystals" and get your New Year's self-care routine in place now! What's that? You like the idea of quick and easy, but this year, you've decided to make a REAL commitment to your energetic well-being...that's great! #5 - Be Proactive (and Preventative!) in Your Own Healing By now you've read our top 4 quick-fix tips for clearing and balancing your body, mind, and spirit for the new year. Hopefully you have some great ideas on how to address anything that needed some healing. It's great to address these issues as they come up, but the best way to tackle ookie vibes from creating havoc in your energy field is to stop them in their tracks before they ever affect you at all. The BEST way to do this is to act preventatively with energetic shielding (and crystals make great allies for this!). Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post, "Using Black Tourmaline Formations for Mind-Blowing Crystal Protection" to learn how to keep your field cleared and balanced. If you're like me, it's not always the energy of others that you have to worry about. At times, I can be my own worst energy when it comes to energetic shielding. Being a healer means being compassionate. Most healers are "bleeding hearts" in this way and can inadvertently be affected by the energy around them. Does this sound familiar? Do you care about others to a fault? Do you consider yourself an empath? Does this often leave you feeling a bit drained? If so, don't beat yourself up...it happens to the best of us. It just means that you need to focus a bit more on your shielding practices. Click Here to Read Our Classic Blog Post, "Shield & Heal Your Heart with Green Tourmaline & Peridot" so that you're able to heal and help from a stronger (less vulnerable, but even more compassionate) place. So... to re-cap, here are our Top 5 Quick-Fix Ways to Clear & Balance Your Body, Mind, & Spirit for the New Year: #1 - Clear Out Last Year's Energy to Make Room for Shiny, New Year's Energy #2 - Cleanse Your Space to Welcome in Some Positive Vibes #3 - Clear Your Energy Field for a Positive Outlook #4 - Focus on Wellness & Self-Care #5 - Be Proactive (and Preventative!) in Your Own Healing Once you're rested, grounded, and ready to start setting those New Year's resolutions, check out my blogpost all about Crystals for New Beginnings in the New Year, where I teach you how to program your crystals for new year intentions.

   Number 2: Crystals for New Beginnings in the New Year

   The new year is a common time to make big changes and set the stage for transformation and a fresh start. Most of us have grandiose plans at first, but quickly slip back into old habits. So how can you be sure to stick with your plans and stay on track with your goals in the new year? Try working with these top crystals for new beginnings! Crystals work great along with your intentions for helping you reach your goals. For example, Rhodonite is a fantastic crystal for new beginnings. To start a new routine in the new year, simply reach for a piece of Rhodonite and hold it in your hands. Close your eyes and think about exactly what you’d like to do differently in the new year. Visualize it in great detail - is it a new wellness routine, a commitment to read a book per week, or quitting a habit? See it as clearly as possible, as if you can see it playing like a movie in your mind’s eye. Once you’ve been able to visualize this new routine, hold the crystal over your heart for a moment to show gratitude to the stone. Your stone has now been imprinted, or programmed, with the information from your visualization. Once you’ve programmed your stone, simply carry it with you, in your purse, pocket, or handbag. Any time you feel yourself begin to stray from your new routine, just reach for your stone for a bit of support and a reminder of that good feeling you had during your visualization, as well as a reminder of what you're working toward and why it's important to you. This will help ensure that your good intentions for creating new beginnings keep their momentum the whole year through. Since you’ll be carrying your stone throughout the day, you’ll need to be sure to cleanse it frequently. One of the simplest methods of cleansing is to pass it through the smoke of burning herbs. Try rosemary, mugwort, or lavender. A great alternative method to smoke-cleansing your stones is to ring a bell or sound a chime near your crystal. Sound is a powerful cleanser of energy and is quick, simple, and convenient. For more ideas, see this article on other common crystal cleansing methods. And while you're cleansing your stones, you may wish to cleanse your space while you're at it. By allowing stagnant energy to linger in your environment, you’re inadvertently telling the Universe that you’re fine with anything in your life that feels stuck. Clearing this energy out of your space tells the Universe that you’re ready for new energy that's more aligned with your current vision and goals. Click Here to Check Out Our Classic Blog Post on Using Selenite & Black Tourmaline for Cleansing & Protecting Your Space so that you can welcome some new energy in the New Year! Something important to remember is that new beginnings don't just magically happen. Lasting change typically requires our effort and focus. Many of us remember to do simple things like routine energy cleansing. But when it comes down to energetic self-care, it’s easy to fall short. Quick and easy healing exercises are ideal (because you’ll actually DO them), but are they effective? Let me put it this way, it's better to do little exercises more frequently because they are quick and easy than to put off energetic self-care because you don’t feel like you have time. It’s almost always better to be doing something than to do nothing at all – especially when it comes to your energetic well-being.

   Number 3: Fossil Stone Benefits | 5 Fossils for Crystal Healing

   Fossils can be found in nearly every part of the earth, though for some reason, they’re often overlooked by crystal healers who are perhaps lacking the knowledge of all the fossil stone benefits they're missing out on! Perhaps it’s because they often lack the bright colors and glittering, gemmy appearance of many crystals…or perhaps it’s because many crystal workers are unsure of how to work with them. Whatever the reason, it’s time to change that, because incorporating fossils into your crystal work can be deeply rewarding and fulfilling. Though the types of fossils vary, they do share a set of energetic qualities whether they're plant or animal fossils, no matter the mineral type. Individual fossil types have added properties, but all fossils share the following qualities: Common Healing Properties of Fossils: Enhances your connection with nature and its flora and fauna Promotes journey work Facilitates access to your past life memories Enhances communication with your guides Promotes energetic protection Connects you to your ancestors (familial, spiritual, land spirits, etc.) Facilitates grounding Connects you with the energy of the Earth element If you’re interested in developing a relationship with fossils, here are a few of my favorites to explore… Top 5 Fossils for Crystal Healing: #1 - Ammonite Fossils for Crystal Healing Of all the fossils I’ve worked with, Ammonites may be my favorite. They’re a type of cephalopod and their spiral formation evokes a mystical quality that humans have been attracted to for thousands of years. Ammonite fossils are particularly beautiful, and the best are found in Madagascar, England, and Peru. There are various legends and folklore surrounding Ammonite fossils. For example, in England, people referred to Ammonites as “snake stones.” The story behind this is that St. Hilda of Whitby (614-680) prayed for dangerous snakes to be turned to coiled stones, in order to clear the land for a convent (other versions of the lore say St. Hilda turned the snakes to stone to protect the nuns at Whitby Abbey). People believed these “snake stones” to be holy, or at least lucky, and wore them as charms, often with a snake head carved at the end. One genus of ammonites is still known as Hildoceras in the saint’s honor. Properties of Ammonite Fossils: Promotes acceptance Facilitates spiritual journey work and inner work Enhances your connection with Goddess energy Facilitates past life recall Enhances your present moment awareness Facilitates animal communication Assists with receiving guidance from your ancestors Promotes grounding Enhances your connection to Earth energy and nature Aids in recalling your dreams or uncovering past life memories Assists in developing a regular meditation practice Learn more about Ammonite Fossils here. #2 - Belemnite Fossils for Crystal Healing Also known as Thunderstones, Belemnite Fossils are records of a type of squid-like Cephalopod that inhabited the earth from the Triassic period until the Cretaceous period. The “cone” is the most common fossilized portion of the creature, and they’re often found in a sort of bullet- or horn-shaped fossil. Properties of Belemnite Fossils: Aids in decision-making Encourages you to take action Promotes mental clarity Assists with enhancing focus Enhances your connection to your inner voice Facilitates the process of receiving intuitive guidance #3 - Echinoid Fossils for Crystal Healing Echinoids are fossilized Sea Urchins that go by many colloquial names depending on their specific shape. According to Kenneth McNamara, some of the names used to describe them include Thunderstones, Shepherd’s Crowns, Sheep’s Hearts, Bishop’s Knees, Fairy Heads, Fairy Loaves, Chedworth Buns, and Snake’s Eggs. My favorite name for them is “Fairy Loaf” because they really do look like tiny little loaves of bread. In rural England, Echinoid Fossils were used as protective talismans, good luck charms, and magical wards. Properties of Echinoid Fossils: Promotes nurturing and care Facilitates connection with your spirituality Enhances feelings of peace and calming Promote a feeling of lightness when you’re surrounded by heavy or negative energies Facilitates a connection to the energy of the Water Element... Elemental energies shape the world and guide our spiritual practice. By working with fossils, you can access these ancient forces and bring balance, empowerment, and connection into your life. That’s why I created the Fossils for Elemental Magic Course—a beginner-friendly journey into the magic of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit. In this course, you’ll explore how fossils act as conduits for elemental energy, empowering you to align with nature’s forces in your rituals, divination, and healing work.

Course Materials Include: A 30-minute video on fossils and elemental magic. Printable slideshow notes with key teachings and techniques. Are you ready to uncover the timeless wisdom of fossils and the elements? Enhance your spiritual practice and unlock elemental energy with the Fossils for Elemental Magic Course! #4 - Fossil Coral for Crystal Healing Fossilized Coral is one of the most diverse fossil types you’ll see. Coming in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, these fossils represent a huge group of different organisms. Some of these Corals are millions of years old and are visually fascinating. Some of my personal favorite fossilized Corals are from Michigan in the USA and are known as Petoskey Stones. Properties of Coral Fossils: Promotes vitality and life force energy Facilitates community connection Enhances creativity Encourages love Enhances your connection with nature Promotes feelings of relaxation Assists you in gathering wisdom and drawing on life lessons Instills courage and bravery (especially when facing new and unfamiliar things) Facilitates a connection to your ancestors (familial, spiritual, land spirits, etc.) #5 - Petrified Wood for Crystal Healing Petrified Wood is created when minerals replace the organic molecules in the plant material, capturing its structure in stone (typically Agate or Opal). This fossil is incredibly grounding and helps you with your emotions. Petrified Wood also supports you as you work to create more stability in your life with things like your career and home life to your spiritual practice and your connection with nature. Petrified Wood facilitates the development of persistence and assists you in overcoming obstacles that may be blocking your path. This stone helps you accomplish things by reminding you to take things one step at a time. Properties of Petrified Wood: Enhances grounding and stability Promotes motivation Enhances energetic shielding and protection Facilitates a connection with the Earth Element Promotes creative problem-solving skills Encourages you to take responsibility for your actions Assists with past life work Helps you establish a connection with the nature spirits (especially tree spirits) Facilitates access to ancient wisdom and ancestral guidance Helps you get focused and set a balanced pace for your day Instills patience Facilitates transformation and growth Strengthens feelings of willpower Learn more about Petrified Wood fossil stone benefits here!

   Number 4: 10 Best Crystals for Tarot & Oracle Card Readings

   I love to use powerful crystals to enhance my other spiritual work - it makes SUCH a difference in my ability to feel physically connected to what I'm doing. If you're looking to enhance your divination practice, the following stones are the 10 best Crystals for Tarot & Oracle Card readings. Crystal oracle cards are one of the quickest and easiest ways to tap into your intuition and call forth just the message you need to get you headed in the right direction. Whether you’re having trouble making a decision, need a little clarity about a situation, or want a little support and encouragement from the universe, oracle cards are a great tool to help you create just the mindset shift you need. You can place these crystals in your sacred space or on your altar, keep them near you, hold them for their energy, or even create a grid or circle of stones around you during the reading. Crystals are such a great support to this work and can really enhance the intuitive process. The 10 best crystals for Tarot & Oracle Card readings: 1. Angelite Angelite has the power to invite your guides and angels in to support you during your reading so that they may provide support, wisdom, or clarity. I also find it to be really soothing, so if I'm feeling a little scattered or anxious, i's a great crystal to have on hand to get you calm and centered before you begin. 2. Amethyst Amethyst, a purple variety of quartz, helps you tap into your intuition and decipher any messages that are coming through during your reading. Have you ever pulled cards for yourself only to feel stumped when it came to actually interpreting them? Try holding an Amethyst crystal while contemplating the meaning of each card, and then of the reading as a whole for more clarity and to see the bigger picture of what this means in your life at this time. 3. Black Tourmaline Black Tourmaline has the ability to keep you safe and protect you from outside energies while you're divining. Because it helps keep you grounded during intense psychic or spiritual work, it makes a great companion stone for any form of divination. 4. Selenite Selenite will ensure that your space is clear and free from stagnant energy or outside energetic clutter, a vital part of any successful reading. When there's too much excess energy, distracted thoughts, etc. focus and interpretation become difficult. But Selenite helps you tune in so that important messages can come through loud and clear. 5. Clear Quartz Clear quartz has the power to amplify your intention of receiving guidance from your cards throughout your reading. I recommend sitting with your stone in your sacred space before beginning your reading, and setting an intention for what you'd most like to receive. Alternatively, you can work with your Clear Quartz stone to help you get more specific about the question you'd like to ask during your reading so that any messages coming through will be focused and on point. 6. Rainbow Fluorite Rainbow fluorite promotes mental clarity so that you can stay focused on what you’re doing and keep your mind from wandering during the reading. It also encourages sharp decision-making, so if you're feeling torn between two different interpretations of a particular card or message, reach for some Rainbow Fluorite to help you feel into which one is most accurate (or if both are needed!). 7. Rose Quartz Gentle but powerful Rose Quartz will remind you to stay heart-centered and compassionate during your reading. Whether you're reading for yourself or for someone else, communicating from a place of compassion is important for seeing the bigger picture and for delivering difficult messages with empathy. 8. Smoky Quartz Smoky quartz will keep you grounded, allowing you to connect to the energy of the earth while you’re tapping into the intuitive realm for your reading. It also has an amazing shielding energy. 9. Labradorite
