Chakra Stone Set
New Offering
Spirit Dancer is now offering a set of chakra stones. This set of crystals makes the perfect gift for someone who is just beginning to explore the healing energies of crystals and minerals. It is also good for healers, and those who wish to expand their knowledge of the energy of stones.
Although I have always been fascinated by rocks, and their beauty, when I first began to discover the energetics of crystals, I was told to buy stones for each chakra color. I put them in a small circle next to my bed and each morning I would notice which one caught my eye - that was the stone I would carry with me during the day.
Slowly I began to be able to distinguish the subtle differences between the crystals. After taking my first crystal class, I started to place them on my body in different ways, which further increased my understanding of their magic. This collection of chakra stones contains some of the basic stones used in crystal healing. While they are not rare, they are used regularly for a reason - they work. The stones included in this set are:
Garnet - 1st chakra. This stone energizes, regenerates and grounds you. It provides good support for the issues of survival and fear. It is also very protective.
Carnelian - 2nd chakra. Activates the 2nd chakra, helps to develop and enhance creativity. It is warming and energizing and is a good detoxifier.
Citrine - 3rd chakra. A stone of power and wealth, this crystal helps us connect to our own power in a balanced way. Helps to overcome mental blocks and allows prosperity to flow.
Rose Quartz - 4th chakra. This is an excellent heart stone which promotes self-love and the love of humanity. Opens the heart to receiving love. Creates a peaceful field.
Aquamarine - 5th chakra. Opens the throat and encourages self-expression and the use of our creativity. Aligns the physical and spiritual realms.
Iolite - 6th chakra. A stone of vision, both physical and spiritual, this stone aids in meditation, giving the ability to “see clearly”.
Danburite - 7th chakra. A stone of transformation, danburite has a high vibration, connecting you to higher guidance and the angelic realms. Allows a huge amount of light energy.
I have included a few suggestions below to help you get started with these stones. This is a really good introductory set of crystals. To purchase your set of chakra stones now click here.
Practical Suggestions
Garnet - This will increase the energy flow between you and the Earth. In addition to using this on the first chakra, you can place it with any of the other stones to enhance and amplify their energy.
Carnelian - Use this stone on the second chakra, and place the aquamarine on the throat. This not only opens up your creativity, it allows for the free expression of it. When placing the stones on your body, leave them on for as long as you feel comfortable. If a stone rolls off it is finished for that session.
Citrine - Use this stone on the solar plexus to warm and energize the body. It is a good stone to use when connecting to your own internal strength in a balanced way. You can also use it to balance the upper and lower chakras, and to integrate higher spiritual awareness into the physical plane.
Rose Quartz - Place or wear this stone on the heart to open yourself to more trust and love in your life. Using this stone regularly will gently release old emotional issues and allow you to begin the process of self love, which is essential in finding the love that is available all around you.
Aquamarine - This is good to use with the rose quartz to calm and relieve stress on all levels. Aquamarine is also good to wear when speaking to allow an easy flow of words, in a calm and clear manner.
Iolite - To open up the 3rd eye, place and iolite on the brow and a rose quartz on your heart. This will begin to open you to your own vision. Iolite will also bring clear vision. To become more confident of your intuitive and spiritual nature, place an iolite on the 3rd eye, aquamarine on the throat and a citrine on the solar plexus.
Danburite - This stone is good to hold while in meditation. It creates a field of white light around you, and opens a channel to the Divine light. It can also be placed at the crown or 3rd eye to open to spiritual guidance and information.

Blue Green Kyanite
A Gift From the New Earth
At the Denver Gem and Mineral Show last month I came across a new find that was really intriguing. Kyanite has been around for awhile, however, this blue green kyanite has a new feel and an interesting story to go with it.
Earlier this year there was an earthquake in Pakistan and during the quake, a mountain split open revealing this pocket of blue-green kyanite. It was as if the Earth Mother turned herself inside out to offer us a bit of her essence and beauty.
When I first picked up a piece of this blue-green beauty, I was guided to put it on my heart chakra, and then just above the chakra to the higher heart. This is just at the point where our soul, spirit and body essences meet in the physical. It felt like a feeding of this heart space and at the same time an opening into something completely new. The lovely blue green color feels like water and the energy of the stone goes right to the feeling or emotional center.
Traditionally, both blue and green kyanite separately are amazing stones which create balance throughout the energy systems of the body. This is a stone which does not take on negative energy, and so does not need to be cleared. In addition to some of the more traditional meanings and uses for kyanite, this stone seems to come in with few “preconceived” messages; the information I get from it has few words, only feelings. It seems to be completely new and ready to be of service in whatever way we wish it to be.
Being a creature of words, I did sit with it until I received the following words:
“Beginning, always beginning… The way forward is opened by the truth of your own heart as it comes to stillness and peace. This stone offers itself to the highest heart center to assist in its opening and well-being. It is a stone that opens and regenerates.
This blue-green essence carries no record of past, only present and the way forward. It has come at this time to connect us with the peaceful and loving choices we can make - a way of being on the Earth in your own truthful place, and creating from there. It carries the light that comes from depth and inner resources. This blue-green kyanite is a gift from the Mother, arriving out of the chaos of the earthquake as a reminder of the beauty we all carry within us.
It is a reflection of what is possible when we break open the hard outer shell of expectation and “shoulds” and realize the truth of our own way. Within each piece is a message or picture of the gift of our own potential to shine.”
Blue green kyanite is truly a stone of the New Earth.
