While many of us are drawn to the higher vibrations of rose quartz and turquoise, selenite is a crystal that offers strong healing properties that allow us to activate our crown and third eye chakras for access to a higher plane of connectivity and transcending experiences.

Sounds intense right? That’s because it is. Selenite is not as strong as other crystals in terms of vibrational frequencies but with proper use, selenite can perform incredibly powerful functions. This crystal can help clear energy blockages that prevent us from seeing clearly or hearing messages from our inner being and higher Spirit. It is an incredible stone for getting ourselves into alignment so that we may attract the experiences we want in our lives, as well as connect with our personal ease and awareness.

Selenite calls in positivity and light, clears and activates energy and can purify the chakras. If you are in search of guidance or answers, meditating in the proximity of selenite is a powerful way to connect to your spirit guide. Wearing selenite can help repel toxic or negative energy from external sources and people, and help maintain a sense of optimism and serenity. It’s white light radiates powerful healing properties on an emotional level and can enhance your meditation or yoga practice by supporting a mind-body connection.

Selenite can also be used to clear your other rocks and crystals of stale energy, simply by placing them close by. Further to, using selenite along with other crystals, for example in a grid, is a great way to enhances its benefits of connectivity to higher planes and calling in light.

With the moon in Cancer and the intense cosmic happens occurring this month (a solar eclipse, a supermoon, a blood moon, etc.) many of us are computing these cosmic energies into highly emotional vibrations. Whether you’re feeling sad, tense, irritable, nervous or uncertain, agate is recognized for its loving ability to help us get grounded and focused.

Agate stones can be identified by their stunning layers and signature bands, with an appearance akin to marble. Agate comes in a range of beautiful colours such as blue, green, grey, red, brown and yellow. It is a stone that is deeply connected to the Earth and vibrates at a slow and steady pace, making it an ideal crystal for balancing and harmonizing our chakras. In fact, different colours of agate vibrate and align with certain chakras. And while some colours will soothe and open up certain energy flows within the body, agate in any colour can help us find our balance in times of trouble or unease.

The slower vibration of agate makes it an excellent crystal for daily use, offering a soothing presence that can help us centre when we feel scattered or unfocused. It is a great crystal for when you are feeling overwhelmed as it will not overstimulate or interfere with our internal frequencies, but rather help us align with a more steady energy, stabilizing the aura and bring a sense of calm and harmony.

With the new moon here, it’s a great time to talk about citrine, the crystal most commonly utilized in manifestation and associated with joy and success.

Widely known as The Merchant’s Stone or The Success Stone, citrine has long been recognized for its ability to stimulate abundance and wealth, and is particularly useful when working towards manifesting our goals in the areas of finance or business.

That said, citrine is not magic crystal that will bring you an abundance of wealth simply by being in its presence. As with all stones and crystals, it is important to remember that it is our guiding will and intentions that are aided by the crystal in question.

Citrine works towards our goals of manifesting success through the energy and frequency found in its beautiful colours. Yellow and gold light activate and stimulate the Sacral and the Solar Plexus . These particular chakras are associated with our feelings of will, our personal power and our abilities to move forward with control, along with our joy and feelings of abundance.

Keeping Citrine close to your work space can aid in keeping us focused and strong as we work through the steps required to meet our goals in the business or financial realm.

Further to this, meditating with Citrine will bring clarity and focus, and can help aid in our creativity and inspiration, which is also helpful when working towards our goals. Citrine can help elevate our feelings of worth and optimism, reminding us that we are worthy of what we desire and keeping us optimistic about the path the universe sends us on to get what we want and need.

One of the first gemstones to be mined, the stone made its debut in ancient Egypt around 6000 BCE, incorporated into the designs of protective shields and made into jewellery for the likes of royalty including miss Cleopatra herself. Native Americans have long used Turquoise as a sacred stone to create a healing connection between heaven and earth.

Good Vibrations and Alignment 

Turquoise is one of the best stones to work with if you are feeling out of alignment. It is known for increasing energy flow, enhancing protection and clearing blockages in the Throat Chakra, thereby assisting in our ability to communicate our truth and self-love, awareness and self-realization.

Aesthetically pleasing and the perfect compliment to Instagram flat lays, Rose Quartz has been manifesting itself increasingly into our daily experiences at Age of Lapin and we thought it was time to pay more attention.

Naturally attractive with a light pink hue, Rose Quartz has long been deemed the stone of the hopeless romantic and has been used in love ceremonies and rituals for centuries. While it was Greek and Roman myth that first deemed Rose Quartz the stone of love, early Egyptians were the first to use it in beauty rituals, with the belief that it could prevent signs of aging.

Whether in its raw form or polished state, the soft pink of this stone will, without a doubt, magnetically draw those who are most in need. And while those who are looking for relationship love may search out Rose Quartz to assist in this area, we have found it to be a stone that works powerfully when we are in need of boosting our own love of self. You may find yourself drawn to Rose Quartz if you are feeling a need to reassert your personal determination in life or if you are feeling out of alignment and in search of something to soothe your soul.

Our relationship with ourselves is the ones we must pay strongest attention to in order to ensure other areas of our lives flow with positivity. If we are lacking in self-love, then all other areas of our lives are likely to be affected; relationships, work, and even our health.

Healing Properties (Emotional/Energy)

A stone of universal love, Rose Quartz is naturally healing, bringing forth warmth and compassion and is used to restore trust and harmony within self and for others. Rose Quartz encourages us to move towards self-acceptance and self-love, making it easier to extend these feelings towards those in our lives and those we come in contact with. Rose Quartz is useful for dispelling harmful negativity, and opening the heart and soul to welcoming more loving vibrations into your existence. Rose Quartz can have a calming affect, bringing peace and harmony to those suffering inner turmoil and grief. Rose Quartz can activate our Heart Chakra and as it is considered one of the stones of the Great Mother, it can also aid in our feelings of oneness with the Earth and Universe as a whole.

Daily Application

Meditating: Meditating with Rose Quartz will work towards releasing old emotional patterns that hold us back, and increase our vibrational frequency of compassion, both for others and the self.

In the Work Place: A piece of Rose Quartz in the work place can bring calming energy and aid in keeping nasty workplace gossip at bay.

In the Home: An excellent piece to keep on a mantle or beside the bedside table, Rose Quartz will elicit a calming and loving energy, opening members of one’s household up to greater communication, compassion and love.

Jewellery: Its lovely pink tone makes Rose Quartz a gorgeous piece of spiritual jewellery. Wear a piece of Rose Quartz to insert compassion, self-love and expressions of peace into your day to day.
