Rocks, Stones, Gemstones--Metaphysical Purposes

Today's stone is Celestite.

Celestite (also known as Celestine) is a very powerful stone. It emits a very high vibration and can be used to restore the inner balance. It helps to integrate instinct with consciousness.

To those on a spiritual path Celestite marks the direction, facilitates insight, and helps expand the mind. Celestite has not only the ability to clarify and center the mind, it also purifies the heart. It helps dispel worries, solve conflicts, and restore harmony in difficult circumstances. Relationships that are at the turning point may profit from this properties as the stone seems to create a perfect climate for reflection. It helps to find a creative solution to the conflict and facilitates communication. It helps to think and articulate clearly. Celestite also helps to analyze and comprehend complex concepts. Artists, writers, and musicians may find new inspiration as well as new ways to connect with the outside world.

Celestite is said to alleviate despair and worry, helping the intelligence to perceive things more optimistically. This is in part facilitated by its purifying action on the aura. It assists in bringing order to our higher vibrations. Celestite balances the yin and yang energies in the energy field of the individual.

It helps one experience the positive side of rationality, encouraging different methods of analysis and bringing fluency to communication. It helps establish balance in general, but especially between the masculine and feminine aspects of the personality.

Useful for those wanting to experience leaving the confines of the gross physical body - astral travel, both in the waking and dreaming state. As its name suggests, it can help forge contact with the angelic realms.

Celestite is an extremely popular tool for use in communication with angelic and other spirit guides. This is a crystal that will instantly life you above the mundane, once it has caught your eye.

Mediation with Celestite will open a clear channel of communication, allowing one to tap into the perfect power of the universe's total love. It will teach you the peaceful trust in acknowledging and accepting that each of us is part of the Divine Plan, and that it is the ebb and flow of ones life which propels you to where you need to be.

Use this stone to assist one in remembering dreams, keep a stone under your pillow and a dream journal beside your bed, each night request the aid of the crystal in remembering and each morning just as you awake, write what your memory brings. As dreams are tools to the subconscious uses to help the physical and the conscious heal and evolve, this stone will enhance the process through more lucid dreaming, keeping dream records and as a communication channel between the two realms.

Astral Travelers can use the crystal to improve accuracy in achieving pre-determined destinations.

Celestite is worn or often carried to aid in creating eloquence and to promote compassion for the earth and our fellow creatures. It has been used to relieve headaches as well as tension in the body, for it removes stress from the physical form.

Celestite should be cleansed in a bowl of tumbled hematites, if it has points, the points must be positioned so that the points always point towards the sky. These crystals will only need recharging occasionally, which should be done briefly in the sun. Be careful not to leave your stone too long in the sun, as it may cause discoloration of the Celestite.

Celestite that has been compressed for millions of years is known as Angelite.

We went to an Art Market today (monthly sale upstairs in the art supply store) and met someone who sells crystals. She says she has some Golden Healers and a couple stones Gryph is interested in, so we're going to make an appointment to see what all she has. She does the darnedest thing with wooden boxes; she's made them so that the stones one puts inside get cleansed and recharged. Gryph bought one, plus some small stones including a lodestone. It feels like metal, extremely cold. I've never seen one before.

Lodestone is fabulous and I'm thrilled that one found Gryph. Last year a small one chose me. They an iron ore so, like meteorites and tektites, they do feel cold. That box sounds super cool. Does that person have a website?

No she doesn't, Miss Scarlett, and more's the pity. She says she is the non-techiest person in the world. Mostly she sells at metaphysical shows. We were just lucky that she came to sell at the Art Market.

OK, thanks Cath. Perhaps I'll come across her at one of the shows.

Only if you're in Kansas, hon. I didn't get the feeling that she travels much. I took a picture of the box Gryph got and put it in my gallery so you could see it. I don't think the seller actually built the boxes herself; I think she did charge them though, so that they cleanse and recharge the crystals. The little box was $15; if you want to contact the seller, I'll pm you her information.

Today's stone is Lodestone, also known as Magnetite.

Lodestone is a potent stone for manifestation helping you to attract what you most desire including both desirable situations and people. The stone is naturally magnetic and it has an impressive capacity to balance the hemispheres of the brain. It may aid you to bring whatever you most want into your life and its magnetic properties makes it a highly effective spiritual grounding stone.

The vibration of this stone will attract into your present situation the experiences or opportunities that you need to experience in your life.

This unusual stone is a strong aid to visualization, and it may help you to magnetize the things that you desire, to come into your life. The magnetism of these stones make them have a strong attractive vibration.

This is strong stone for abundance and prosperity and they may aid you to attract many things that you desire such as love and commitment within your personal relationships. Lodestone/Magnetite has a deep positive vibration with a magnetic attraction to help you bring into your life what you most want.

The magnetic qualities of this stone allow you to have a more balanced view of life, so it may aid emotional problems.

This is a strong spiritual grounding stone, that works by grounding you down through the base chakra to the earth chakra and Mother Gaia. This is an excellent stone to use if you are on the spiritual path. Use it in meditation as it is most helpful to assist you to enter the deeper meditative states. Your connection with Mother Gaia, and a deeper appreciation of the planet will happen naturally and easily at this time.

It has a strong vibration, and was known in the past as a Shamans crystal. This is because of its strong ability to make the earth connection. In the past it has been used within magical practices to ground your intentions through the earth chakra to Mother Gaia. This earth connection makes Lodestone/Magnetite an excellent stone for healers to use.

You will find this stone's vibration to be very effective to assist with balancing the entire aura. For this purpose you may use two stones; one at the base of the spine, so that its energy is at the base chakra and one at the crown chakra.

It may particularly strengthen your intuition, if you are a highly rational left-brained logical person. This stone will help you to develop your intuition and will aid you to have greater confidence in the flow of feelings that come from the Divine source.

If you deliberately and consciously direct it this stone will also aid you to release negativity. This is best done while in a meditative or relaxed state, where your intentions can be made clear to your higher self.

It is said to aid psychics who have been putting on weight as an energetic protective measure, to no longer energetically feel the need to do this.

Thank you StrongButch. For as long as I can remember I've been drawn to stones. My Mom was the same way. They are like old friends and bring me much peace.

I am very familiar with Medicine Wheels. Since I live in an apartment mine is in my dining room where a great number of my stones and feathers are. It's my sacred space.
