      <title>Chakra Stone Set</title>
      <link>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/chakra_stone_set/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/chakra_stone_set/#When:14:33:00Z</guid>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spirit Dancer is now offering a set of chakra stones.&nbsp; This set of crystals makes the perfect gift for someone who is just beginning to explore the healing energies of crystals and minerals.&nbsp; It is also good for healers, and those who wish to expand their knowledge of the energy of stones.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
Slowly I began to be able to distinguish the subtle differences between the crystals.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; This collection of chakra stones contains some of the basic stones used in crystal healing.&nbsp; While they are not rare, they are used regularly for a reason - they work.&nbsp; The stones included in this set are:
</p>
<p>
                    <b>Garnet</b> - 1st chakra.&nbsp; This stone energizes, regenerates and grounds you.&nbsp; It provides good support for the issues of survival and fear.&nbsp; It is also very protective.
<br />
                    <b>Carnelian</b> - 2nd chakra.&nbsp; Activates the 2nd chakra, helps to develop and enhance creativity.&nbsp; It is warming and energizing and is a good detoxifier.
<br />
                    <b>Citrine</b> - 3rd chakra.&nbsp; A stone of power and wealth, this crystal helps us connect to our own power in a balanced way.&nbsp; Helps to overcome mental blocks and allows prosperity to flow.
<br />
                    <b>Rose Quartz</b> - 4th chakra.&nbsp; This is an excellent heart stone which promotes self-love and the love of humanity.&nbsp; Opens the heart to receiving love.&nbsp; Creates a peaceful field.
<br />
                    <b>Aquamarine</b> - 5th chakra.&nbsp; Opens the throat and encourages self-expression and the use of our creativity.&nbsp; Aligns the physical and spiritual realms.
<br />
                    <b>Iolite</b> - 6th chakra.&nbsp; A stone of vision, both physical and spiritual, this stone aids in meditation, giving the ability to &#8220;see clearly&#8221;. 
<br />
                    <b>Danburite</b> - 7th chakra.&nbsp; A stone of transformation, danburite has a high vibration, connecting you to higher guidance and the angelic realms.&nbsp; Allows a huge amount of light energy.
</p>
<p>
I have included a few suggestions below to help you get started with these stones.&nbsp; This is a really good introductory set of crystals.&nbsp; To purchase your set of chakra stones now <a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_shop/categories/C118/chakra_stone_set/">click here</a>.
</p>
<p>
<b>Practical Suggestions</b>
</p>
<p>
<b>Garnet</b> - This will increase the energy flow between you and the Earth.&nbsp; 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.
</p>
<p>
<b>Carnelian</b> - Use this stone on the second chakra, and place the aquamarine on the throat.&nbsp; This not only opens up your creativity, it allows for the free expression of it.&nbsp; When placing the stones on your body, leave them on for as long as you feel comfortable.&nbsp; If a stone rolls off it is finished for that session.
</p>
<p>
<b>Citrine</b> - Use this stone on the solar plexus to warm and energize the body.&nbsp; It is a good stone to use when connecting to your own internal strength in a balanced way.&nbsp; You can also use it to balance the upper and lower chakras, and to integrate higher spiritual awareness into the physical plane.
</p>
<p>
<b>Rose Quartz</b> - Place or wear this stone on the heart to open yourself to more trust and love in your life.&nbsp; 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.
</p>
<p>
<b>Aquamarine</b> - This is good to use with the rose quartz to calm and relieve stress on all levels.&nbsp; Aquamarine is also good to wear when speaking to allow an easy flow of words, in a calm and clear manner.
</p>
<p>
<b>Iolite</b> - To open up the 3rd eye, place and iolite on the brow and a rose quartz on your heart.&nbsp; This will begin to open you to your own vision.&nbsp; Iolite will also bring clear vision.&nbsp; 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.
</p>
<p>
<b>Danburite</b> - This stone is good to hold while in meditation.&nbsp; It creates a field of white light around you, and opens a channel to the Divine light.&nbsp; It can also be placed at the crown or 3rd eye to open to spiritual guidance and information.

      <title>Blue Green Kyanite</title>
      <link>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/blue_green_kyanite/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/blue_green_kyanite/#When:21:14:00Z</guid>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the Denver Gem and Mineral Show last month I came across a new find that was really intriguing.&nbsp; Kyanite has been around for awhile, however, this <a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_shop/categories/C116/blue_green_kyanite/">blue green kyanite</a> has a new feel and an interesting story to go with it.
</p>
<p>
Earlier this year there was an earthquake in Pakistan and during the quake, a mountain split open revealing this pocket of blue-green kyanite.&nbsp; It was as if the Earth Mother turned herself inside out to offer us a bit of her essence and beauty.
</p>
<p>
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.&nbsp; This is just at the point where our soul, spirit and body essences meet in the physical.&nbsp; It felt like a feeding of this heart space and at the same time an opening into something completely new.&nbsp; The lovely blue green color feels like water and the energy of the stone goes right to the feeling or emotional center.
</p>
<p>
Traditionally, both blue and green kyanite separately are amazing stones which create balance throughout the energy systems of the body.&nbsp; This is a stone which does not take on negative energy, and so does not need to be cleared.&nbsp; In addition to some of the more traditional meanings and uses for kyanite, this stone seems to come in with few &#8220;preconceived&#8221; messages; the information I get from it has few words, only feelings.&nbsp; It seems to be completely new and ready to be of service in whatever way we wish it to be.
</p>
<p>
Being a creature of words, I did sit with it until I received the following words:
</p>
<p>
&#8220;Beginning, always beginning&#8230;  The way forward is opened by the truth of your own heart as it comes to stillness and peace.&nbsp; This stone offers itself to the highest heart center to assist in its opening and well-being.&nbsp; It is a stone that opens and regenerates.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
This blue-green essence carries no record of past, only present and the way forward.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; It carries the light that comes from depth and inner resources.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
It is a reflection of what is possible when we break open the hard outer shell of expectation and &#8220;shoulds&#8221; and realize the truth of our own way.&nbsp; Within each piece is a message or picture of the gift of our own potential to shine.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
Blue green kyanite is truly a stone of the New Earth.

      <title>Cathedral Quartz Tabbies</title>
      <link>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/cathedral_quartz_tabbies/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/cathedral_quartz_tabbies/#When:20:52:00Z</guid>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received a parcel of <a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php/crystal_shop/categories/C45/Cathedral_Quartz">Cathedral Quartz</a> tabular crystals that knock my socks off.&nbsp; Lately I have been noticing more and more that my spirit - when it is allowed to soar - vibrates at higher and higher frequencies.&nbsp; I have been working with this for many years, however, there has been a noticeable shift in the last few months.&nbsp; Things are moving faster and faster and the higher vibration you can carry within, the easier time there is in adjusting to the speed of things.
</p>
<p>
These stones have assisted me to go to new levels of &#8220;lightness of being&#8221;.&nbsp; In addition to their great beauty, the cathedrals are right there with the energy of this time.&nbsp; They seem to glow from the inside out.&nbsp; When you pick them up, they automatically connect you to a light that is both within you and connected to Source.&nbsp; It is a simple thing, however, it can be hard to achieve in the seemingly chaotic place our world appears to be at the moment.
</p>
<p>
When you hold these healing crystals in your hand, or have them in your space, the awareness that &#8220;All is in alignment and perfection&#8221; is easy to come to.&nbsp; In a healing layout on the body, they can be used to bridge energy from the physical body throughout all subtle energy bodies, connecting it into that part of you that is eternal.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
Meditate with these stones and there will be new levels of awareness opening on a daily basis.&nbsp; And if nothing else, it will connect you to beauty that is timeless and infinite.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
Here is a short channel I received from the spirit of the crystal:&nbsp; &#8220;Purity of resonance dwells within you - there is nothing with which you are not in harmony.&nbsp; Allow this harmony to flood your field, experience it as Love, which is the highest vibrating emotion here at this time.&nbsp; Radiate light from the inside out - come to know yourself as Master.&nbsp; Use this crystal as a bridge to walk into the next dimension of your Earth experience.&#8221;  
</p>
<p>
This Cathedral Quartz is the stone for the next dimension, I can feel it.

      <title>South African Citrine</title>
      <link>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/south_african_citrine/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/south_african_citrine/#When:19:53:00Z</guid>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was in Tucson at the Gem and Mineral show this year, many of the pieces I was drawn to were green or gold.&nbsp; These South African natural citrines are some of the gold colored stones I brought home with me.&nbsp; In addition to the many great qualities of citrine, these crystals have an energy that is new to me.&nbsp; When I first held one and asked it to open its information to me, I heard the words &#8220;God-consciousness&#8221;.
</p>
<p>
As I have worked with the citrines further I have received more information.&nbsp; They seem to align &#8220;my will&#8221; with &#8220;Thy will&#8221; so that it is One.&nbsp; In working this way, we must give up control over anything and everything in our lives, knowing that it is always in Divine will anyway.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
It also works with a new heart center, based mostly in a multi-dimensional space.&nbsp; The new heart center is everywhere - it is an expansion outward into Universal Consciousness.&nbsp; This new heart center is no longer connected with fear, it is open to All and cannot be touched by lower vibrating Beings or situations.&nbsp; The crystals can be used to integrate &#8220;my will&#8221; with the will of Source, and in doing so &#8220;my will&#8221; is completely absorbed back into the One.
</p>
<p>
These South African citrines are your connection to that Source energy - whatever name you have given it.&nbsp; They assist you to recognize the multi-dimensional being you already are, and have always been.&nbsp; Following is an exercise you can do while holding the crystal in meditation:
</p>
<p>
Sit in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.&nbsp; Hold the crystal and get in touch with your breath, breathing easily and naturally.&nbsp; Ask for your fifth-dimensional self to come in and inform you about changes you will be experiencing in the new heart center, both physical and beyond.&nbsp; You may want to write the information, or just experience it in whatever way it comes to you.&nbsp; Gather golden light energy and bring it through your crown center into your new heart center based on what you have been told.&nbsp; Ask for any other information about opening and connecting to the heart energy available from Source.&nbsp; Sit for a moment more in gratitude and openness.&nbsp; 
</p>

      <title>Green Chlorite Phantoms &#45; NEW</title>
      <link>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/green_chlorite_phantoms_new/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_muse/green_chlorite_phantoms_new/#When:21:01:01Z</guid>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a stone of deep healing, specifically related to the heart.&nbsp; It releases emotional traumas stretching back through the soul&#8217;s many lifetimes.&nbsp; The releasing that can occur with this stone can be done gently so as not to send the person back into the trauma to re-experience it.
</p>
<p>
Green Chlorite crystals also have a deep connection with the earth energies, so that the healing one experiences is similar to laying down on the Earth Mother, and allowing her to take all of the pain.&nbsp; If you are not in a place to do this the chlorite phantoms can help.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
If you are experiencing sadness of grief that is not related to a specific event, but possibly to either past lives or energy picked up from somewhere else (or from the Earth herself), use this stone to clear it.&nbsp; Simply hold the crystal several inches from the top of your crown, and slowly move it down the front of your body, feeling the sadness or emotional turmoil dissipating.&nbsp; It is also helpful to lay the stone on your heart chakra for 10 minutes or so until you feel the sadness ebb away.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been having a lot of fun with these stones.&nbsp; Each one, in its own way, is very transformational.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
The <a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_shop/categories/C44/citrine/">Citrine</a> is like having a bit of the sun, right in the palm of your hand.&nbsp; You can feel its energy begin to synchronize with your own right in the middle of the solar plexus, creating a feeling of vibrancy and strength.&nbsp; It is a great stone to use when you are beginning a new project, to create abundance and energy around it.&nbsp; It is also good to use when you are physically tired, because it does energize the body.
</p>
<p>
The Russian<a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_shop/categories/C103/quartz_with_apophyllite_&amp;_ilvaite/">Quartz with Apophyllite and Ilvaite</a> is a stone of deep healing and transformation.&nbsp; It has shown up very recently to assist humanity with the deep work of release and the welcoming of light-filled energy from the Cosmos.&nbsp; I am finding the stones from Russia to be particularly interesting, they have a depth that is unique to the crystals I have come across in the last few years.&nbsp; It is pictured above.
</p>
<p>
Finally, the <a href="http://www.spiritdancercrystals.com/index.php?/crystal_shop/categories/C104/goshenite/">Goshenite</a> is a stone of clarity.&nbsp; It can be used for deep meditation and dreaming.&nbsp; I have also found the energy of this stone to be uplifting and joyful.
