Blue, yellow & Green Apatite, Lithium Quartz, Apophyllite Point
Crystals and the Magic they hold
I have always had a love for crystals and stones of all kinds since I was a little girl never realizing the magic they hold. My Mother always had a collection of various crystals such as Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Clear Quartz and Aquamarine on her bedside table. I just thought they were pretty. Who knew crystals held so much magic!
I can remember finding all different types of rocks and minerals by creek beds. Pyrite was always a favorite and although it has always been called “Fools Gold” I always felt that it was real gold and had to have some financial truth to it. It promotes positive thinking and manifestation. It helps boost self-esteem as well. I did not know this about crystals when I was 7.
I used to find talc rocks too and used them to chalk hopscotch grids out on the sidewalk and I carried several in my pockets, along with the pyrite. Now I am aware that talc or magnesium silicate, is good for pureness of thoughts, clarity to the mind and is considered, by ancient cultures, a very lucky stone to have.
Once in a while I would get lucky and find quartz crystals of all types by the creek beds while hunting for crawl fish or tadpoles. I would just shove them into my pockets and go about my busy day exploring the woods and creeks.
Today, as you can see in the above photo, I have more exotic crystal specimens that I am happy to acquire by visiting Crystal Shoppes during this life journey. I go through different phases where I feel that I am in need of particular energy and I seek out the crystal stones that will enhance, amplify or alter my energy. My home has stones and crystals laden throughout, all for specific reasons and for the specific energy that I want my home to carry. For example, I have a large rose quartz crystal at on the floor of my front door and Black Tourmaline and White Selenite also at the entrance on the side table. This is to remove all negativity and bring peace and love into my home. As you walk around my home you find similar crystal set-ups to promote good energy in addition to bowls of various crystals for me to grab as I exit the house so that I am sure to be carrying the proper energy with me for the day.
This week, I chose 3 different types of Apatite crystals (blue, green and yellow), some Lithium Quartz crystal and an Apophyllite Point. I really needed to boost my energy and get out of my funky Mercury Retrograde mood and attitude, so I chose uplifting stones. The Apophyllite crystal carries a very high vibration that will uplift your spirit. It relieves tension, stress and anxiety and will help connect you to spirit guides when you are unsure of your direction. The Lithium Quartz crystal has similar qualities. It will help sweeten your inner life journey, calm and soothing, it also relieves tension, anxiety and depression. I chose the 3 different types of apatite crystals originally because they aid in weight loss and this Mercury Retrograde has me eating foods that are not necessarily that good for me, but they have so many other fabulous qualities and I am excited that I was attracted to them. Blue Apatite is great for lucid dreaming, astral travel, spiritual attunement and boosting self-confidence. Blue Apatite is also connected to the Throat and Third Eye Chakras. Yellow Apatite promotes prosperity and manifestation and is connected to the Solar Plexus Chakra, where all of our power lies. It is a fiery stone that helps our will power and promotes weight loss (thank goodness and I hope it works as summer is coming and my bikini is calling). Green Apatite clears away negativity and opens us up to knowledge and truth. It is a stone of manifestation, healing of animals and is linked to the Heart Chakra. All Apatite crystals boost energy and spirituality and by using all three colors, I will be well rounded in the energies they offer.
I will say that it has only been a day since wearing these crystals and I already feel so much better than I have in the last week. As silly as it may sound, I wear the gems in my bra so that they are as close in contact with my skin as possible and I balance them out on both sides. Left is the Feminine and incoming energies, the Right is the Masculine and outgoing energies. I like to be balanced. I will wear crystal jewelry for its beauty and mystical properties, but if I need direct magic, they go in the bra.
I will be sure to update you in the coming weeks to let you know if the Apatite crystals suppresses my appetite and I lose those 5 pounds that I have gained this week during Mercury Retrograde. In the meantime, you too can try out the experiment and get yourselves some Apatite. The uplifting energies of all crystals are well worth the trying.
