Aries

Aries Zodiac Sign

Mar 21 - Apr 19

Aries Overview

Crystals:  Amethyst, Citrine, Diamond, Aventurine
Day: Tuesday
Color: Red
Element: Fire
Most compatible with: Libra, Leo

Since those born under the Aries sign have a tendency to express a great deal of intensity in all of their life choices, a strong solid diamond can provide a degree of stability. By combining the healing properties of a diamond with the more positive aspects of their astrological sign’s personality, an individual can focus their lives and achieve whatever it is that they hope to work towards.

While a birthstone is normally given as a thoughtful gift based around a tradition in which stones are matched to birthdays, there are no reasons that the person receiving it won’t receive all the benefits of a high-quality piece of diamond. Healing diamonds are said to help with feelings of dizziness and may have an impact on how well someone sleeps. Those who want to eliminate bad auras have long turned to this powerful stone in the hopes of assuaging their concerns.

Balancing the Traits of an Aries

Since those born under the Aries sign have a tendency to be rather dominant, they charge forward like the animal that they’re represented by. While this is normally treated as a positive trait, it can easily turn into unbridled aggression. The diamond birthstone that they boast can help to bring balance and stability to their lives.

You might want to consider raw diamonds if you were giving a gift to someone born under this sign. Jewelry may prove to be a more traditional type of gift, but it’s one that’s valued nonetheless. People have been giving birthstone jewelry to friends and family on their birthdays for many years. It’s a time-honored practice and one that could be deemed quite romantic depending on the type of relationship you enjoy with the person that you’re giving a gift to.

In fact, there are a number of special jeweled settings that might be ideal for those who’d prefer to give a very romantic gift to their significant other. You might want to consider a set of jewelry that includes both the birthstone of your favorite Aries as well as your own.

Perhaps fittingly, diamonds are sometimes seen as a symbol of everlasting love. This could be due to the fact that they’re remarkably durable. There isn’t one dedicated way for people to calculate birthstones, however, so you have some other options as well.

Birthstones for those Born Under The Ram

Amethyst, which can help people deal with mood swings, has been seen as a birthstone as has citrine. That stone can help individuals retain their confidence, though that’s nothing something that many Aries will need at all! Everyone could use some better fortunes in their lives, which is why aventurine is also a popular pick for those who regularly give out birthstone-themed gifts. Over the years, aventurine stones have been almost universally associated with good fortune.

Don’t forget that you never have to be tied to a single stone when giving out gifts, so make sure to contact us today to learn more about what’s available.

Learn how these minerals offer potent healing energy: 

Amethyst

Avoid getting carried away from mood swings. Amethyst releases unique spiritual fairness and uplifting energy. 

Citrine

Incorporate this essential tool for your energy healing kit, it enhances confidence, creativity helps in making decisions in life and enhances mental clarity.

Crystals to Enhance Yoga Meditations

Crystals to Enhance Yoga Meditation
Yoga Pose

Yoga practices help both the mind and the body. Performing sun salutations is a great way to wake up and honor your form while practicing durability and downward dog. So is doing a corpse pose while inhaling slowly and not moving. You can go even further, however, when trying to increase spiritual energies. That is why we recommend using crystals to enhance yoga meditations.

Best Healing Crystals For Meditation Practice

We always recommend trying out the stones first during a session before deciding if they work for you. Either have them nearby on a cabinet or around your yoga mat or wear them around your neck or arm in a loose chain. You don’t want them to get tangled in your hair while doing a shoulder stand to plow. If they are surrounding your yoga mat, make sure not to step on them; that’s an easy way to lose the good vibes. 

Rose Quartz: A rose quartz necklace will invite unconditional love into your meditation session. The stone is the symbol of self-love and will help you filter out hatred and cruel words.  Wear it to invite tranquility as well, so that you can get the most out of your various poses.

Black Tourmaline: This stone is meant to symbolize protection. It is very easy for someone else’s negativity to affect you, especially if they are annoyed by how space fills up during a yoga class. In addition to letting the instructor move you to a more harmonic spot — though we recommend doing that if your partner is not showing positivity — use this stone to shield you from bad vibes. 

Amethyst: Before their spiritual powers were known, the Greeks believed that amethyst stones cured drunkenness and hangovers. They are good for helping you shed negative energy during a yoga class or stretching session. See if an instructor will place a geode in the room or place it next to the speaker that plays soothing music.

Steps To Encourage Powerful Healing During Yoga

  • Clear and Protect: Cleanse your space with smudge or incense. This also clears your auric field.
  • Be Calm: Find a quiet space or sit outside in nature.
  • Focus on your breath: Close your eyes and take deep breaths continuously.
  • Relax your body. Focus on opening your crown, third eye, and heart chakras. Unblocking these chakras will enhance your daily meditation routine. 

Perform the following exercise to unblock your upper chakras: 

  • Crown Chakra (located at the top of the head): Expand your conscious awareness,  by increasing your inner wisdom and attuning to your higher-self. Imagine a violet and white ray of light shooting over the sky. Every time you inhale it connects and activates. 
  • Third Eye Chakra (located between your brows): Imagine a violet light sphere in the middle of your forehead, as you continue to breathe, imagine the light getting bigger. This will open your third eye chakra, which will enhance intuition and psychic abilities. 
  • Heart Chakra (Located above the heart): Imagine a pink or green light sphere in the middle of your forehead, as you continue to breathe, imagine the light getting bigger. This will open your heart chakra, which will heal emotional wounds, increase compassion, love, and self-worth. 

How To Align Your Mind With Your Position On The Yoga Mat

Yoga Pose Crystals

When doing yoga, you need to focus on being present in the moment. It is very easy for various distractions to 

  • Meditate & Reflect: Take a moment to focus on your goals for each practice. Do you want to stretch away difficult times? Release any self-doubt and anxiety about the world? Or do you simply want to breathe for a few moments and remain within the zone? Setting an intention helps you accomplish it better.
  • Meditate with your stone daily. Hold a clear quartz or aquamarine (or any stone of your choice) crystal in your hand. The stones will bring more calm into your meditation session and relieve stress. Even if you don’t practice yoga every day, you can remember to breathe. 
  • Charge your energy tools! Know your lunar cycles. Different moon phases affect your stone’s healing powers in various ways. Take advantage of the full moon to amplify the energy of your crystals.

6 Crystals To Help You Sleep Better

Crystals To Sleep Better
Sleeping Well

Many people are sleep-deprived, owing to modern workday routines and distractions. Some of it is having too many electronics and lights, and the other part is drinking excessive caffeine or alcohol while forgetting to hydrate. Calming your mind after a long day can prove troubling as well. You can use the crystals that we recommend to help you sleep better. 

Obviously, make sure to hydrate before bed, not exercise at late hours, and create a routine to settle the mind. Sometimes, however, we can’t calm our overactive minds alone. Meditating with crystals can invite healing energy into your room and allow you to tuck in with ease and reduce anxiety dreams. 

Healing Stones For A Good Night’s Sleep

Use sage for cleansing your crystals, and the full moon to recharge them, and use incense in a pinch if you lack sage. Pair these stones with lavender, Valerian, and Jasmine essential oils at night to sweeten your dreams. They’ll also make your room smell nice. 

Another natural remedy that can improve your sleep is taking a warm bath with Epsom salt, thirty minutes prior to your bedtime. Measure out a spoon and place it in the tub while it’s filling. Epsom salt contains magnesium, which plays a huge role in our restorative sleep.  It also relieves aches and pains.

Sleeping Crystals

Reducing the amount of blue light, one hour prior to your bedtime can improve your sleep! See if you can turn off any computers, tablets or cellphones. Minimizing screen time at night will help regulate your circadian rhythm.

If you suffer from sleep paralysis, consult with your doctor for medical advice.  

Amethyst – Amethyst is a stone generally used for calming meditation. It was once thought to cure drunkenness but can be used to reduce stress at night. If suffering from nighttime worries, breathe while holding an amethyst stone to dispel worries.

Celestine – Use celestine to promote calmness at any time of the day. The stone helps release stress while bringing harmony and balance to your mind and room. 

Rose Quartz – This stone is good in general for meditation and self-love. It reinforces how you need to prioritize your mind, body, and soul. Use it to open your subconscious to soothing energies and reduce the doubt that comes with bedtime worries. At night, rose quartz reaffirms that sleeping well means that you are inviting a higher love into your life. 

Moonstone – Black moonstone is ideal because it channels the powers of the new moon. That way you can let go of anxiety dreams or other troubling thoughts from your subconscious. You can use it to protect your sleep and set good intentions for the next day, so that you start the morning freshly. We recommend having various moonstones to align with the lunar cycle.

Selenite – This crystal is also named for the moon but is known for channeling the powers of water. Water is the element of change and movement, as you see in river currents and ocean waves. Use selenite to unblock your chakras before bed, so that you have a harmonious aura.

Jasper – Do you have insomnia? Then using a tiger or textured jasper will help reduce the symptoms. Leopardskin and textured stones will also help. 

Experiment with an ideal arrangement for meditating and sleeping with these crystals. If you want to wear a pendant around your neck, make sure that it is smooth and does not wake you up in the middle of the night. See if they work better on your bedside table or a short distance away from your bed. Place your cellphone in the middle of the crystals to remove bad vibes from the messages it may contain.  

Prepare For A Restful Night With Crystals & Stones

Crystals & Stones will direct you to the right gems that will assist healthier sleeping habits. We believe that you can dispel negative energies and replace them with soothing ones. While you decide the best sleeping arrangements with your crystals, our experts can select the appropriate crystals for such an occasion.

Jewelry

This gemstone can go on anything; it can be found in necklaces, earrings, chokers, bracelets, and more. Luxury pendant aquamarine chokers are very elegant.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Zodiac Sign

Nov 22 - Dec 21

Sagittarius Overview

Crystals:  Smoky Quartz, Obsidian, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Lace Agate
Day: Thursday
Color: Blue
Element: Fire
Most compatible with: Gemini, Aries

The archer in the sky guides everyone born between November 22 and December 21. Sagitarrius represented Chiron the centaur to the Greeks, a healer and a teacher for great heroes. Chiron may have created the constellation to provide guidance for Jason, his most famous student, and the Argonauts. Other Greek groups identified the archer as Crotus the satyr, and a son of the god Pan. 

Sagittarius stands next to Antares, the star that represents Scorpio’s heart. The archer is ready to attack the scorpion to protect others. 

Balancing Traits Of A Sagittarius

Those who carry the sign are more likely to travel and seek adventure in other places. A Sagittarius is cheerful and generous, with their time and belongings, and has a great sense of humor. They have a lot of energy and express it through various aspects of life such as projects or hobbies.

Jupiter rules this sign in the zodiac, representing power and the ancient king of the gods. Fire is the primary element, to provide much-needed energy at the end of the year. Sagittarius are honest and upfront with their emotions. This means that you can rely on them so that when you ask questions, they will tell the truth.

With that said, too much honesty can become a drawback. A Sagittarius will always speak the truth, but risks sounding tactless. They may also be impatient in a situation that requires finesse. The sign holder may overcommit to their obligations and find themselves unable to honor a promise. They need to find balance in their lives. 

Birthstones For Those Born Under The Archer

Good gemstones for Sagitarrius help them find a way to focus their spirit and fun into productive tasks. They simply need a direction in which to travel or a map. A suitable crystal array will help them find focus and the push they need to accomplish their goals before the end of the year.

Lapis lazuli is a stone used for painting and to add a rich blue color to life; it also allows for more spiritual connection. Clear your mind when meditating with it, to understand when to say the truth and what to speak. Amethyst does the same, allowing you to tap into intuition to make a difficult decision, filling a mind with patience.

Other selections include labradorite, amazonite and clear quartz. Labradorite works with the third eye chakra, helping a user to find their purpose. A Sagitarrius may find themselves developing hip problems, and amazonite soothes the pain that results. On days with low energy, clear quartz powers up the body, and the spirit.
