Spring Cleaning with Crystals

  Spring is upon us!  There is a surge of excitement as we anticipate longer and warmer days. As crocuses and daffodils push through the ground and trees begin to bud, we are eager to shed our heavy coats and reach toward the sun with them. It is the March equinox, which marks the beginning of the new solar zodiac year in the sign of Aries. The equinox is all about balance & harmony, the time when day and night are of nearly equal length. It’s the season of Passover, Easter, and Ostara where we celebrate rebirth and new beginnings, re-establish hope, and plant new seeds. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is the season of the Wood element. The wood element is connected with the color green, its flavor is sour, its direction is east and the associated organs are gall bladder and liver. When the wood element (the liver and gall bladder) are out of balance it creates a condition called biliousness: anger, mood swings, irritability, lack of motivation, etc. This is the perfect time for cleansing, goal setting & planning and there are many crystal that can help support you.

    Aventurine is a green member of the quartz family that aids healing and growth. It attracts good luck and prosperity. It also promotes the opening of the heart chakra and the healing of the emotions.

  Citrine brings out one’s soul purpose; increases self-esteem & confidence, aids creativity, and attracts abundance. It is a great stone to wear while clutter clearing because it helps you to release those things you no longer need. A gem elixir of citrine can help you to detoxify the liver and shed excess weight that was gained during the winter months.

  Tree Agate is a white chalcedony with green mossy or dendritic inclusions that resemble trees. Tree agate helps you to see the beauty of nature. It is also a good stone to use for a grid around your garden to improve the growth and health of the plants.

 

  Garnet is an energizing gemstone that helps you to take action. It is also known as a stone for successful business.  

   Amber is technically not a gemstone or mineral, but a fossilized sap from prehistoric trees that has aged over the course of millions of years. Just as the sap is starting to run in the trees, the energy of amber will help you to get those creative juices flowing!

 

    Want more pep in your life? Carnelian is an energy booster! Keep a carnelian with you and feel the energy flow to you. It strengthens the physical body, bringing health and vitality.

   You use a sunstone and moonstone on your personal altar to represent the balance of solar and lunar energies.

  Also an egg shaped gemstone will make a great meditation piece at this time.
