    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allowing stagnant energy to linger in your environment, you're inadvertently telling the Universe that you're fine with outdated, dare I say, "Meh..."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. Here's a quick snapshot of what that looks like: Crystals can be such a support when we’re planning our weeks and months ahead. That’s why, in my Your Crystal Clear Year Course, I share ways to connect with your crystals daily through meditations, self-care exercises, and more – because I know firsthand that connecting with your crystals daily can create more happiness, success, and alignment in your life!     This course includes self-check-ins, journal prompts, and more to support you on your crystal journey, like… a crystal grid recipe for motivation (plus a printable grid template) weekly planning template with crystal & planetary correspondences for each day an introduction to birthstones and zodiac stones (month-by-month) in-depth properties and write-ups for each of the 12 birthstones 8 easy techniques to help you create a sustainable self-care practice 7 Guided Crystal Meditations (1 for each day of the week) monthly card spreads for performing tarot or oracle card readings for the month ahead (with tips for interpretation)     As crystal healers, it’s important for us to stay in alignment and flow all year long. When you sign-up for my Your Crystal Clear Year Course, I’ll share practical ways that you can connect with your stones each and every day to craft a crystal practice that supports you as you step fully onto your path as a crystal worker.     Pin it!     Are you interested in becoming a Certified Crystal Healer?

    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.

    Crystals & A Card Spread for Insight at Samhain

    Samhain (pronounced the Gaelic way, SAH-win) is celebrated on October 31. This holiday marks the beginning of the dark half of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere and is the perfect time to hold space for ancestor connection, intuition, the thinning of the veil, death, introspection, rebirth, divination, and honoring the dead! It's a day to connect with ancestors and honor those who have passed on. Samhain is also an introspective time that can heighten intuition & divination, and call for meditation on death and rebirth. *If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you'll be celebrating the festival of Beltane today instead of Samhain to keep with the seasonal cycles.  The 3 Best Crystals to work with on and around Samhain are: Black Moonstone - A darkly reflective crystal perfect for promoting intuition and personal insight. Use it wisely when you're ready to ask big questions this month. Sangre Calcite - This deep red calcite is a powerful fire element symbol that makes it a great helper for vitality and motivation in the colder months. Howlite - This stone is associated with the world of dreams and that which lies "beyond the veil," making it a good complement for connection with ancestors and the spirit realm.     More Samhain Crystals: Black Obsidian Bloodstone Black Moonstone Black Onyx Carnelian Hagstone Howlite Jet Red Garnet Red Sangre Calcite Shungite Smoky Quartz Snowflake Obsidian Set Up Your Samhain Ritual Altar!        Samhain Symbols Ale or Mead Pumpkin Skull Besom or Broom Beans Cauldron Bat Key Squash Pomegranate Nuts Apples & Cider Bones   Samhain Herbs: Angelica Catnip Cinnamon Mandrake Mugwort Rose Hips Rosemary Vervain Wormwood     Samhain is Also Known As/Related To: Halloween All Hallows Eve Calan Graeaf Ancestor Night Third Harvest Final Harvest Day of the Dead Witch's New Year Sauin Bonfire Night All Saints' Day All Souls' Day Celtic New Year Tap into the ancient wisdom of your crystals and harness the liminal energy of the final harvest with our Samhain Kit! On this day when the veil is thin and we exist in liminal space, it’s the perfect time to hold space for ancestor connection, intuition, introspection, rebirth, divination, and honoring the dead. That's why I've created my Samhain Kit – to help you tap into these sacred energies through ritual, divination, meditation and of course, crystal energy.     Inside, I'll guide you through how to: Connect with your Ancestors: Learn how to communicate with your ancestors and guides during this time when the veil between worlds is the thinnest. Heighten Your Intuition: Deep dive with your crystals to enhance your intuition and inner guidance, helping you make important life decisions. Experience Powerful Divination: Learn to work with Tarot or oracle Cards with a powerful card spread that will help you gain clarity about what’s in store for you during the coming months as you navigate the dark half of the year.     But hurry! My Samhain Kit, along with all of my other Wheel of the Year Celebration Kits, are leaving the shop on Friday, October 31st...and once they're gone, they won't be back! Grab your individual holiday kits (Samhain, Yule, Imbolc etc.) – or purchase all 8 kits for a bundled discount to save 25% – just make sure to do so before they disappear for good!   Open yourself up to the messages of illumination at this time of the Fire Festival with a Sacred Samhain Card Spread!   This reading will cover 6 aspects of the Final Harvest and shift into the Celtic New Year with highly specific info to help you: Uncover hidden influences that are affecting the events in your life and navigate the thin, mystical spaces Hear messages from the universe specific to your unique spiritual path, intuition, and connection to your ancestors or guides Look into what you need to focus on now on your soul path by gaining insight into what to sow and cultivate now until the light returns     Interpreting Card #1 What are you harvesting now from the energy of this past year? This card helps summarize your journey over the past year and what has ripened and is now ready for harvest. Think of all you've been working to grow and create in your life - now is the time to reap the rewards of your efforts and call in the harvest.   Interpreting Card #2 What should you sow and cultivate from now until the time when the light returns at Imbolc? Now that you've called in the harvest and completed a cycle, what would you most like to sow the seeds of in this moment? What will serve you best in the coming year? The energy you focus on now will begin to show itself and come back to you in big ways by Imbolc. This card may hold some hints or inspiration on what to do next.   Interpreting Card #3 What should you release into the darkness and burn away in the bonfire of your soul? What needs to be released at this time? And what is no longer serving you? What is potentially holding you back from all that you'd like to embody in your life? This card is here to help you recognize and accept the things that are ready to be let go so that you can create space in your life for things that will better serve and support you in the coming year ahead.   Interpreting Card #4 Tips for navigating the thin spaces and walking between worlds as a powerful seeker. Samhain is the time of the thinning of the veil - when worlds co-exist and we are able to walk between worlds. What are you seeking right now? What answers have you been searching for? How can you traverse the realm of shadow or the Otherworld while keeping one foot planted firmly in this realm?     Interpreting Card #5 Future influences coming in at this time of the turning of the Wheel for the Celtic New Year. This card helps give you insight into any new, fresh energy that's coming into your life during this time of shift and change, What should you be on the lookout for? What may be on the horizon in the coming year? How will this energy affect you as you move forward?     Interpreting Card #6 A special message from your ancestors and guides about what you most need to know right now. This final card represents a special message to you from your ancestors of guides. What is it that they would like to communicate with you at this time? What lessons, knowledge, or wisdom are they passing on to you? How may you best heed their words?     Because Samhain is such a powerful time for intuition and divination, this is also a great time of year to practice the sacred art of charm casting:     In this method of divination, you’ll look at how the charms fall in relation to one another and use their positions and energies to tell a story.      Get started with my Samhain Charm Casting Divination Kit!   Are you interested in becoming a Certified Crystal Healer?

    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. Perfect for those seeking to deepen their connection to the natural world, this class offers both practical techniques and spiritual insight.     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!     Home is where the heart—and magic—live. By tapping into the energy of the hearth and the ancient wisdom of fossils, you can infuse your kitchen and home with sacred warmth, protection, and intention. That’s why I created the Fossils for Hearth Magic & Kitchen Witchery Course—a journey into the enchanting traditions of hearth magic and culinary spellcraft.     This course teaches you how to turn your kitchen into a magical sanctuary, using fossils as powerful tools to ground and protect your space.

    Boosting Your Self-Confidence with Crystals

    Confidence seems to be something we all struggle with at one time or another in our lives. Whether it’s a fear of public speaking, body image issues, relationship insecurities, or something else, a little confidence boost can certainly go a long way toward improving our lives. Using healing crystals for self-confidence is a simple but effective way to help you shift your mindset. It can take you from one of worry, fear, or insecurity to pure confidence. A few of my favorite crystals for self-confidence are: Citrine, Golden Tiger’s Eye, Pyrite (also known as Fool’s Gold), and Clear Quartz.  The 4 Best Crystals for Confidence: Citrine is the perfect companion to help you work through fears, hesitations, or blocks that leave you feeling less than confident in life. This stone will help you embrace your strengths in order to create the success you deserve in life. Citrine is an intensely confidence-boosting crystal. These stones are also known for their ability to instill an abundance of confidence. Especially to the area in your life in which you need it most.   To use Citrine for increasing your self-confidence (and ultimately receive more abundance and joy in your life), hold a Citrine crystal point (with the termination facing upward toward the crown of your head) over your solar plexus area for approximately eight to ten minutes. Do this one to three times per day. It’s best if you can perform this exercise while focusing on a specific intention. Try to direct this intention towards self-confidence, inner strength, self-worth, and your ability to receive. You may wish to create a short affirmation statement to repeat while holding the Citrine stone over your midsection. Saying this affirmation aloud during the exercises reinforces the mindset shift you’re trying to manifest. This will ultimately improve your results. Golden Tiger's Eye promotes confidence and inner strength. It also encourages personal will power to help get you through difficult situations. Additionally, Golden Tiger's Eye is known for mental clarity and focus. It can help you identify any potential blocks in your progress so that you’re able to move past them and grow through them with ease.  This enhanced focus also assists you in achieving your goal of becoming more self-confident. It keeps it top of mind and gently encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone and “put yourself out there” more. Pyrite has a strong, almost masculine energy that pairs well with Citrine and Golden Tiger’s Eye.   It instills strength, bravery, and courage in new or unfamiliar situations. It is especially useful when you find yourself in situations where you’re meeting lots of new people.  This crystal helps you embrace new experiences and enjoy them. It also helps you to stay positive and avoiding negative thought patterns (especially those that revolve around worry, anxiety, and fear).  Pyrite helps you dig deep within yourself and find strength and courage, even in the most uncomfortable or challenging of situations. Clear Quartz crystals amplify the energy of your intention as well as amplifying the properties of other crystals. When used with the stones above, results can be achieved much quicker than without the use of the Quartz crystal.   Your ritual is your anchor. When life feels unclear, chaotic, or heavy, a well-crafted ritual can help you return to your center — to the version of yourself that feels grounded, confident, and ready to rise. That’s why I created my Crystal Rituals for Personal Empowerment Course — a beautiful, self-paced journey into intentional, crystal-infused practices that shift energy, strengthen your intuition, and reconnect you with your inner strength. Inside, you’ll learn how to: - Create personalized rituals aligned with your goals - Tap into the energy of your favorite stones for transformation - Cultivate balance, harmony, and clarity in everyday life - Amplify your intentions so they’re crystal clear and energetically supported You’ll also receive: - A 55-minute video class - A 47-page printable slideshow for easy reference - A 22-minute guided meditation for self-confidence - 15 printable crystal grid templates for self-love - A self-love ritual tracker worksheet packet - 10 printable coloring pages to relax and realign This course retires from the shop on Friday, August 22nd — so if you’re feeling called to explore the magic of ritual more deeply, now’s the time to say yes.   Are you interested in becoming a Certified Crystal Healer?
