Crystals for the Third Eye/Brow Chakra

Third eye chakra is associated with the pituitary gland, eyes, nose, ears and skeletal system.
The brow chakra is related to the senses of sight and hearing. Balancing this chakra can help remove confusion or indecision and increase the ability to see clearly and make important distinctions.

Some signs that the Brow Chakra is out of balance are:

• Jumping to conclusions
• Confusion
• Indecision
• Inability to see the bigger picture in life situations 

The color associated with the third eye chakra is Indigo. Indigo is the symbol of spiritual attainment, self-mastery and wisdom.

Amethyst

a stone traditionally worn to guard against drunkeness and to instill a sober mind. Amethyst is a gemstone often worn by healers, as it has the power to focus energy. Amethyst clusters, points or several tumbled Amethysts placed in a window that receives sun most of the day are very beneficial to use in healing and to heal negativity in the home. 

 

Lapis Lazuli

Early cultures valued lapis lazuli more highly than gold. The Egyptians buried Lapis Lazuli Scarabs with their dead because they believed the stone offered protection. Lapis is believed to bring clarity to the mind and helps the wearer clear emotional baggage. Lapis Lazuli can help to shake away distress and painful memories.

 

Kiwi Apricot - Throat Chakra Smoothie

 Today's post is for the Throat Chakra a kiwi apricot smoothie. If you didn't read the first post on this, Throat Chakra foods are watery/liquids, fruits from trees and berries making smoothies, juices and teas a great choice.

Kiwi Apricot Smoothie - (tart)

• 1tbsp of cacao nibs

Blend all together until smooth in a high speed blender.

* Apricots have a high mineral content, which makes them helpful in battling disorders like anemia, tuberculosis, asthma, bronchitis, etc. High copper and iron content in apricots increases the hemoglobin in the blood. They are also high in Vitamin A and are said to help breakdown gallstones. Kiwis are full of phytonutrients, vitamin C and are a good source of vitamin E.

Sorry it is taking me so long to post lately. I've been outside enjoying summer..

Full Moon In Scorpio

This full moon is in Scorpio - expect high emotions, passion, a lot of hearing the truth as others see it, and uncomfortable changes. Scorpio is a healing sign but, it is a rip the scab off and let it bleed sort of healing. No more la la land - if you've been avoiding the scale, talking to someone about something uncomfortable whatever you are avoiding - the blinders will be coming off for a lot of people and they will be forced to confront the things they've been ignoring or setting aside. A good thing is there will be clarity of mind - if you want you will be able to focus in on problems/issues now so clearly that the solutions will seem obvious.

Stones for the Throat Chakra

 

Blue Kyanite
Blue Kyanite has an ability to align all of the chakras. Blue Kyanite will not hold negative energy, and thus never needs to be cleared. Blue Kyanite is especially good for working with the Throat Chakra and communication issues.  It cuts through fears and blockages, helping to speak one’s truth.  It is very useful for public speakers and performers as it strengthens the voice and heals the throat and the larynx.

Sodalite
Helps us find our truth. It encourages being true to self and standing up for your beliefs. Use Sodalite to strengthen the immune system, ease insomnia and balance metabolism. Sodalite strengthens the power of mind over body and bridges the gap between your thoughts and your feelings. This will allow one to use more logic and intuition, rather than the emotions from an over-developed Heart Chakra. * Place Sodalite next to your computer to help clear electromagnetic pollution :)
