crystal woman, I'm not sure if this is where I should ask, or if I should start another topic...but is there any particular stone you would recommend for rage?

I have a HUGE (baseball size) snowflake obsidian that my husband got me for Christmas...I plan on working with it to bring up and release deep hidden trauma from when I was a child...but I am not ready yet. I don't know when I'll be ready. And until then, I really need something to help me with my burning rage. :cry:

Yep, the following is taken from the above index. Now I don't recommend you do this with the obsidian, but if you hold the obsidian in your lap (near root and sacral chakras) while you rage at the other black rock as noted in the following topic, that obsidian will help with the release in an orderly fashion.

ANGER - For anybody interested in a method for using rocks/stones for dealing with anger or rage, click below for a message posted a few years ago to the Talking Stick forum re: "Explosive Anger".

I would further suggest to you that you don't wait. You say you're not ready yet but that's because you are afraid. The longer you hold in that fear, the greater the risk there is of you getting physically ill with strange ailments that could have been avoided. Don't be afraid - just go find that big black common rock and use it as your personal whipping rock. Don't think about the reasons for why you are raging at it. Just rage at it without inhibition. The stones will sort out all the emotions and the reasons for you.

Thank you for the link (that thread was very interesting and informative!), and for the info. I am going to start looking for a big black rock immediately. I'm not sure where I'll find one around here, but I will look until I find it because I need to deal with this issue immediately...I can't keep putting it off.

i feel a little spacey when i wear my kyanite wand necklace. i have never charged it or my amethyst as i read neither one needed it. should i completely start over with them? maybe that's why i feel weird when i wear them. or is that a bad idea? and i tried to click on those links you sent me about the dream crystals but some of the pics. didn't show up. which one would you really recommend for trancing/vivid dreams? are they all the same? i guess the most important thing right now is taking care of the stones i have now---amethyst and kyanite. how exactly do i charge them?! thanks for listening to a crazy person! i have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to stones.

by **crystal woman** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 5:03 pm

Kyanite IS a spacey stone and best used for short-tem meditation/trancing rather than wearing on a daily basis for several hours. I'd suggest you use the kyanite for trancing, lie down with your eyes closed and place the kyanite wand over the third eye chakra. Then just go with the flow. Another thing you can do is place kyanite under your pillow when you go to bed and that can induce vivid dreaming.

I'm assuming you read the link about kyanite and about how it's a fallacy that it doesn't need recharging. I don't know who it was that ever started that rumour that certain stones don't need recharging, but whoever it was they've done a great dis-service to people who use crystals. Yes, you definitely should recharge both the amethyst and the kyanite. You can do that by sitting them in a glass bowl in the sink and let cool running water trickle into the bowl for half an hour to an hour. Then let them air dry. You will see a noticable difference in their appearance when they've dried off, just from recharging them in running water that way. Another way to recharge stones is to place them on top of a quartz cluster from just overnight up to several days.

cw - while we're on the subject of stones that make one spacey/aren't ok for regular/daily use etc. I can't recall if we've ever asked you to make a list of stones that ARE generally ok for daily use???????

by **Red Cloud II** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 5:41 pm

thank you so much for all of your help today! i can't believe i was told i didn't have to recharge my stones. i probably got tons of negativity when i received my stones!

Good question MDV and I'm glad you asked it. Because there are so many thousands of minerals, and so many hundreds of them that get worn as jewellery, it's actually easier to tell you the most common stones that should NOT be always worn on a daily basis, and they are the ones I call manifestors. They don't just get you stoned, they can make unexpected events happen, usually of a karmic nature. And I need to say here that ALL stones, and even some of the elements like gold, silver, copper, platinum (they are elements, not minerals) are capable of making people feel spacey. Some are very powerful, some aren't, and most often people can develop an immunity to that spaced out feeling while still maintaining heightened senses.

Some of the more powerful manifestor stones that can cause severe reactions due to prolonged exposure are Lapis Lazuli, any kind of fiery Opal, Fire Agate, any kind of Tibetan quartz crystal, Alexandrite, Ametrine, very dark purple Amethyst, Siberian Amethyst, Brandberg Amethyst, Ruby-Zoisite, Rainbow obsidian, Metallic Sheen Obsidians, Apache Tears obsidian, Azurite, all colors of Star Sapphires, Star Ruby, Apophyllite, Specular Hematite, black Fluorite, Spirit /Cactus quartzes, Andara crystals. Andaras are fairly rare and newly discovered but it is a wild-card manifestor so use special caution with this one because it can cause long-term life-changing events to happen, and they aren't always positive.

Manifestors of a lesser degree of severity but that might make you feel hyperactive or overly emotional sometimes are Alabaster, Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Chalcopyrite with Flourite, Bloodstone, Spider Turquoise, Emerald, Chrysocolla, very dark blue or dark purple Fluorite, any vividly multi-colored Rainbow Fluorites, any color of Tourmeline, Larimar stone, Kyanite, Malachite.

The following information is taken from this previous post (under "Precautions" in the crystal index):

http://www.susunweed.com/weedforum/view ... ght=#28659

SOME PRECAUTIONS TO BE AWARE OF:

- A special note with regard to COLOR THERAPY. The best color for treating cancer is green. Ordinarilly white light can be used for most ailments, because it contains all the colors of the spectrum. However, white light is nourishing and should not be used to treat cancer because white light can nourish the unhealthy cancer cells. Green selects only healthy cells to work on.

- Geodes and thundereggs should never be broken up by hand or with hand tools. Geodes in particular may contain massive quantities of electrical energy, and depending on the size of the geode, it is possible to receive a burn or electrical shock if you break it open by force. Best to have it cut open by a professional lapidarist with the right tools.

- Some stones are too powerful to be worn on the body for very extensive periods of time. Included amongst these are opals, hematite, malachite, LAPIS LAZULI, fire agate, ametrine and amethyst. I mention these particular stones because they are most commonly used as jewellery on a regular basis and they all happen to be manifestors. That is to say that they are powerful enough to make things manifest even without your intent, sometimes when you have been thinking a lot about a random situation. These are great for practicing magic, but not for daily living when you might not be prepared for manifestations, the consequences of which you may have to deal with immediately.

The other thing about the very powerful stones is that it is POSSIBLE TO OVERDOSE on them after a few days of constant wear. Some of the symptoms of overdose may include: disorientation, spaciness, a feeling of being stoned or inebriated, acting in an overly spacey or ethereal 'non-caring' manner, sudden and unexplainable attacks of depression, grief or anxiety, or frequent laughing jags. You may feel as though you are walking 2 inches above the ground or as though your body is not there. Other indications of overdose is getting hives or rashes, experiencing unusual occurrences or paranormal phenomenon of a disturbing nature, or of attracting to yourself people who exhibit weird and psychically draining personality traits.

Your stones may try to warn you that they are being over-used by breaking, leaping suddenly out their settings, or just plain disappearing one day. The best way to treat such stones is to wear them for only limited periods of time and for specific purposes. After using the stone, remove it from your physical person and cleanse/recharge thoroughly with negative ions from running water, or by placing it on top of a bigger crystal or crystal cluster for a couple of days. They also like to be smudged with a smoking sage bundle. Remember, they're not trying to hurt you or scare you, they're trying to help you by sending you a variety of messages.

It is always possible to have too much of a good thing, everything needs to be applied in a practical manner. I have met people who have got themselves so decked out in stones and talismans and medicine pouches and rings and earrings and all mixed up metals - and these folks are out in La La Land because they've gone and got 'stoned' on the energy and overdosed on too many stones. They're on a totally different wavelength that nobody else can relate to and can appear to have symptoms of dementia. All they really have to do is take away all the stones for a couple of days to get back to normal and then just use a FEW different stones each day.

Red Cloud II - just read your post here... wanted to let you know, I'm a Reiki Master and would be honoured to charge your stones with loving Reiki energy if you'd like...

I love that we can share our healling thoughts and energy here, in this beautiful and nuturing place...

Just ask...

by **Red Cloud II** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 10:18 am

Healer Within,

I would LOVE it if you could help me charge my stones. When wearing my kyanite necklace before I knew any of this...I would feel so stoned and had a TERRIBLE run of bad luck. I didn't know if my luck could get any worse. And it started the day I began to wear that necklace every day. Now I'm better educated thanks to Crystal Woman. I am so thankful for her knowledge and blessed that I have all of you to lean on and teach me new things as I am very young/new to this wonderful world I've discovered! Just let me know what I need to do! And again, thank you so much for being so kind and for wanting to help me in this exciting journey!

Much love,
Red Cloud

It is so amazing to hear you say that these stones can not only make you feel spacey but can cause unexpected and sometimes harmful things to happen to you if you wear them for long periods of time. I was just telling Healer Within that I had a very terrifying run of bad luck while wearing my kyanite necklace every day. That entire month and a half I lost almost everything...and it all started the day I wore that necklace all day. I would totally forget where I was and what I was doing....very scary. I am totally convinced that there are so many things we are all unaware of especially when it comes to stones/crystals. We take advantage of these stones daily--wearing them for every day use. There is literally no telling how many people have been affected in negative ways by over using their jewelry. And they will never have you to explain that to them. They are probably scared/confused wondering why they can't remember things and why the sudden bursts of bad luck! AMAZING! I feel like at this point in time I am very fragile and still have so much to learn. Is there a crystal/stone you would recommend that would "heal" me inside and out? One that I could keep with me or on me at all times. I need much internal cleansing and to find out my purpose in life. I would love to tune into my former healing powers and my third eye. But I am totally clueless...as I have proved that by wearing the kyanite necklace for over a month straight! Thanks again for all of your information and for coming back to us! If you hadn't then I maybe wouldn't have been saved!

So thank you!!!!!!

Healer Within

I went to your websites attached to your reply and I would like to speak with you more in depth either by email or by phone. I have a friend that has abilities much like yourself and she has lead me down a certain path. I was hoping maybe you could validate that path. She says I am a former shaman/healer in several past lives and that I have the ability to heal myself and to get back in touch with that. But I'm trying.....I maybe need more help. She has also given me clues as to where my life should be heading and I wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. I feel so broken and so far away from home and I need HELP getting myself out and into the warm healing light. Please help---I am sure you are very busy. Just let me know what I need to do! Thank you!

Just want to make a little comment here about using Reiki on stones. Keep in mind that your stones are alive and possess a consciousness of their own, therefore your crystals that you have in your keeping may be considered sentient companions rather than possessions. As such, and according to the tenets of Reiki practise, it is important to gain permission from them (as living beings with a will of their own) before subjecting them to a Reiki treatment. It's been my experience that many stones will reject long distance Reiki treatments if they don't know where it's coming from or have never made the personal acquaintanceship of the Reiki practitioner.

The offer of a Reiki treatment that Healer Within has made is very kind and generous and I doubt that your stones will reject any long distance treatment from her. But I'd suggest that you explain to your stones beforehand that the offer has been made so that they are prepared to accept the treatment if they so wish because it's a very different kind of energy from what they're accustomed to.

If you have already given your stones a recharge in running water try wearing them for a day to see if a Reiki treatment is still required. If you still have the impression that your stones need further treatment then explain to them that they'll be receiving Reiki energy and that it is intended to help them, not to hinder them.
