Harness the Power of Amethyst

Free Your Mind.

Discover all the magic in the world. Let go of the restrictions you may have, and allow the power of belief to change your life. 

The power of belief is a magical thing. When you believe in an idea, you give it power. When it comes to crystals, some people believe, and some don’t. Past cultures have attributed certain stones to be protective, a love enhancer, a spiritual guide and more. The reality is stones, crystals, and other minerals work for some people and don’t for others. My opinion is, they work well in combination with other more tangible practices. For example, if you are attempting to relive anxiety, crystal healing in combination with orally taking CBD, applying lavender essential oil, and changing your eating habits could work very well. 

Amethyst is one of the most common crystals in the world and is recognized by its purple color. Depending on the quality of your Amethyst, it can sometimes be clear instead of a deep purple hue. The crystal is transparent, and can be found in clusters, points, or as a geode.

Properties    

When others direct negative energy towards you, Amethyst has the power to transform it into love. The stone is protective on many different energetic levels. It is known to open another reality to those who introduce it into their life. This other reality can be one that is more spiritual, sobering, cleansing, and/or tranquil. The stone can help get energy moving, releasing energetic blockages from a person or space.

Many individuals use it when meditating due to the calming and spiritual effects that overtake the mind when the stone is worn. The stone can help people feel less scattered, allowing the mind to focus. It can enhance the manifestation of new ideas and create a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around you. The stone's energetic properties aid in the transmission of neural signals through the brain. Because of this, Amethyst helps reduce nightmares, improve sleep, facilitate realistic goals, improve memory, enhance motivation, and facilitate common sense. This stone will also center you on an emotional level, instead of living a life with emotional highs and lows filled with anger, fear, anxiety, and grief. The stone evens you out, making you more like a Buddhist Monk verse the Incredible Hulk.

This stone also connects you to a divine power, promoting self-love, encouraging selflessness, discovering your true nature and connecting you to hidden psychic abilities you may have. Amethysts can transmute lower energies into higher frequency energies. Many people like to sleep with the stone to stimulate out of body experiences.

Healing Abilities

Amethyst can have physical healing powers when paired with an individual’s power of belief. All objects in this world give off an energetic frequency. The type of energy that Amethyst stones give off have been known to help people with tuning their endocrine system and metabolism. And that’s not all, it can boost the production of hormones, enhances cleansing of organs, and boost the immune system. The stone relives mental, physical, emotional and psychological stress or pain. It is known to release tension which makes it an excellent reliever of headaches. This stone has even been credited for being beneficial to the cellular disorders, skin conditions, respiratory tract and lungs, and it can remove parasites.

How to Use

Amethyst bonds the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of a being. It is known to stimulate the throat and crown chakras and cleanse the aura. When you wear it, its healing traits are most noticeable when worn over the areas of those two chakras. You may also hold clusters or points to your body. If you use a point to heal, remember that when you point the crystal towards you it will push energy into the body. If you want to draw energy out, you’ll want to point it away. You can also place clusters around your space to enhance the area. Remember that Amethyst can fade in sunlight, so avoid placing it directly in the sun for a prolonged period of time.

Whenever you receive a new crystal you’ll want to cleanse the energy it has picked up on the journey to you. Different types of minerals need to be cleaned in different ways, there are a few ways you can cleanse Amethyst. One is to go to the ocean shore and allow the waves to wash over it repeatedly as you hold it. While the waves wash over the crystal, set your intention for the use of the stone. You may also do this in a bowl of salt water. If you think the crystal is in a more fragile condition, you can also leave it in a pile of sea salt overnight. When you remove it, carefully brush away all of the salt.

The Holistic Path of Your Beauty

Alors, Ça Pousse? (ACP) In English it translates to "So that’s growing?" It’s the name of a French skin care line that has truly unique products completely derived from the Earth. I first found them on Instagram and was super intrigued by the way they describe their ingredients. They use solar created Flower Elixirs in their products.  The goal of this process is to harvest the “vibratory message” of the plant, this will echo our emotions and inner well-being.   

Their concept: Vibratory cosmetics for body and mind in an eco-design.

Their philosophy: Harmony with Nature and the cycles of the Moon.

The concept and philosophy speak to my inner hippie moonchild. The balms also last much longer that other creams you would normally buy, while being the most unique holistic products I’ve ever encountered. They don’t use any preservatives and provide consumers with a concentrated botanical formula because there is no water in the balms.

It acts as a gently soft scrub for your face.  It illuminates the complexion thanks to hemp particles and harmonizes the spirit by the power of its elixirs.  Botanical and vibratory alchemy of 9 garden plants.

Chill Out and Take a Bath

Hey folks,

I’ve been adulting for a few years now, and sometimes it can get a little crazy. Especially when you're building your own business, working to build other people’s businesses and all the other things that go along with your 20’s. Health insurance and student loans are two issues that always seem to get at me. It’s funny that getting health insurance would be one of the things that stresses me out, because stress is not good for your health! With all these little built up issues sometimes we just need to chill out! And I know a lot of us out there will preach about exercise, mediation, yoga, or really any kind of activity that can help you reduce stress in life. But honestly, when I’m super stressed, mediating becomes almost impossible, especially if I’m attempting to do it on my own without a guide. While yoga totally helps me clear my mind, sometimes all the emotional stress is met with being physically exhausted. When this happens, there is only one thing I can advise...

TAKE A BATH.

That’s right stop trying to think about ways to calm your mind and stop feeling all the stress. If you really have things you need to think about, think about them in a bath! If you're physically drained and feeling mental stress…. There is only one thing to do. Soak in the tub! However, I have some advice on how to make your bath even more relaxing.

Look for these items in a Bath Soak Mix

 

Soak in something that has the calming effect of Lavender in it.

 

Add Epsom Salt, it pulls out toxins and leaves the skin feeling lovely.

And why stop there now that we’re talking about skin!

Argan Oil

If you are really looking to hydrate your skin anything with Argan oil will work wonders! It is known to treat rashes, bug bites, and even skin infections. It is an all-natural moisturizer and it is super healing with antioxidants, Omega 6 fatty acids, and vitamin A & E.

Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil is also an amazing ingredient, especially if you find yourself in the sun a lot. The antioxidants found in this oil can combat the effects of UV damage combat free radicals.

I’ve found an amazing cosmic brand that makes a perfect mix of these items!

Try the Beauty Bath Soak from Luna + Quartz

Get your Bath on lovelies!
