Crystals for Hair Growth

If I were to ask you what is the thing that stresses you most? I am sure your answer would be thinning hair or hair loss that is adding more to your stress and tension!

You must have tried thousands of beauty or medical hair products, homemade remedies, medication etc. and the problem still continues. Understand that any physical condition that we face is a result of our internal turmoil or negative thought patterns.

Hair loss is a result of constant stress because we are constantly disapproving ourselves, trying to control things, not reclaiming our own power and trying to make things perfect. Can we come to this understanding that everything around us is perfect in its own way including us?!

Well my intention is not to go on a sermonizing mode, but to help you understand what lies beneath a so called “disease/illness” a condition.

Just the way we have many remedies, Crystals are also a very good choice to work with, when dealing with problems like thinning hair or hair loss.

The crystal that can be used for hair growth or should I say hair re-growth is Moonstone. Moonstone specifically alleviates degenerative conditions of the hair, skin and eyes. It is also the most beneficial stone for women and their energy.

So how do we use Moonstone to help us?

Making an elixir from it, and applying directly to the scalp is the most effective way of treating hair loss. The best method for making an elixir is to place a cleansed, and charged, stone into a glass bowl with about 1 cup of clear water. Place the bowl in the sunlight for 6-7 hours, then remove the stone, and add 1 cup Brandy or Apple Cider Vinegar to the gem water to preserve this elixir if it is to be used for more than 1 week (you will have enough here to last you for quite some time, so I recommend doing this step). Put this elixir into a brown glass bottle. If you are a Reiki practitioner, charging the water with Reiki will make it even more potent.

This method creates a highly concentrated gem elixir, and it is to be treated like essential oils, in that you must dilute it before use. For a scalp treatment add 7 drops to about 2 tbsp of water or oil and then apply directly to scalp and leave it overnight or couple of hours.

You could also add Amethyst along with Moonstone, as it will help you de-stress and release any kind of tension in your scalp.

Hope you like this hair growth tip. Do share your feedback once you try it.

Crystals for good sleep

 A good night’s sleep is the most important part of our daily life. It is essential that we sleep well in order to be active, healthy, calm and stress free. A minimum of 7-8 hours of good sleep is recommended by doctors in order to calm our mind and body. Lack of sleep starts up a domino effect that ends up influencing many areas of our lives; concentration, relationships, weight, emotional well-being, decision-making, communications, spiritually. All of this…left untreated…eventually ends up effecting our health.

Drinking coffee/tea or colas, eating just before sleep, eating heavy/oily/high calorie dinners, working on your computer, talking on the phone etc., just make matters worse by releasing hormones that wreak havoc on us physically, emotionally & spiritually.

There are many things we can do before we go to sleep in order to calm our minds and get a restful sleep. Listening to soft music, having a warm water bath, meditation, basic deep breathing exercise etc. help us unwind from the day’s stress and tiredness and sleep peacefully.

We can also use crystals to help us calm down, de-stress and surrender ourselves to a restful sleep. Here are few crystals that I recommend that will help you get your much needed beauty sleep!

1. Rose Quartz – Rose quartz helps in calming your heart. Holding a RQ crystal in your hand for few minutes before sleep and meditating will calm you down. You can also life down and place the crystal on your heart chakra as you slip into slumber.

2. Amethyst – Amethyst will help you sleep peacefully. If you are a person who gets nightmares and bad dreams, Amethyst is the crystal for you. It helps in de-stressing and release all tensions from your mind and body. Amethyst works on your third eye chakra, thereby relieving you from any heachaches or pain. Amethyst is also a lovely dream-time stone.

3. Sodalite – Sodalite is a powerful calming & soothing stone. When combined with Amethyst it relaxes, calms and soothes the nerves and body.

4. Lepidolite - Another crystal you could include is Lepidolite. Partly due to it’s lithium elemental content, it’s very good for calming your mind & encouraging sleep, ushering in good dreams as well. 

5. Clear Quartz – This is great for enhancing energies and clearing all negative energies from your bedroom. It will also help in amplifying the energies of the other crystals in the room.

You can either place tumbles or the above mentioned crystals under your pillow or make mojo bags with some aromatic herbs like lavender, Chamomile, Ashwagandha, Tulsi (holy basil) etc.


I am sure these tips will help you sleep well and face the day with gusto, happiness and energy. So have a good night, sleep tight and don’t let the bugs bite ;)

Hosting Angels at Home

When I first got an invitation from a friend to host Angels at my home, I was excited, happy and eager to know about it. I have been working with Angels for a long time now and keep calling upon them for any kind of help or guidance. But when my friend told me about this wonderful ritual I could not refuse.

To give you all a background, Irmi, a German medium, experienced a visit by some unnamed chosen angels, highly placed in the angel hierarchy, for her to be inspired by the film “Pay it Forward”. It has been said that by the 20th repetition the whole world could be affected, so large is the exponential function.

It is the angels’ desire to go out and for 5 consecutive days stay and work with three individuals and help them to fulfill three personal wishes. After this, each individual will send the angels on to three new individuals who have said YES to receive them. The angels will stay 5 days then continue onto the new hosts.

The angels always arrive at the new place on the agreed upon day at 10:30pm and leave 5 days later at 10:30pm.  Between this 5-day visit, the angels have a rest period of 5 days when they are on their way to the next three hosts. During this 5-day period, the next individuals prepare to receive the angels.

The Archangels who visit our home are - Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Metatron. By hosting them we are assisting them to serve humanity, mother earth and all universes in more direct ways, and they thank us for our willingness to participate.

The hosting of the archangels was started in New York in 2010 through someone’s spiritual guidance.

People who have hosted angels for 5 days have shared their experiences and it is special to every individual.

Angel Altar

Coming back to me. I welcomed the angels at my residence yesterday (11^th Nov 2014) at 10.30 p.m. Yes this is a standard time that the angels visit homes irrespective of where in the world you live. Before their arrival, I created an altar for them. The altar consists of a vase with white flowers, a white candle or an electric light which ever you can leave it on for 5 days, a letter to angels mentioning 3 wishes – one for mama Earth, one for your family and one for your own self and an apple that you will eat at the end of the 5 days.

I decorated my altar with some crystals as well. Placed the vase with white flowers, lights on, wishlist in an envelope and an apple. I was all set to welcome the angels. At exactly 10.30 p.m. I opened the door and welcomed the angels by reading out a small prayer. I felt so much of joy, excitement and peace. I showed them around the house and asked them to make themselves comfortable.

I was unable to sleep for a long time…was very hyper. I guess I was anticipating too many things. I relaxed and surrendered the need to experience something “wow” and drifted off to sleep.

I look forward to the rest of the 4 days. My intention is to seek guidance, direction and higher connection with the angelic realm. Will post my experiences after I complete the entire ritual.

Awakening the Shakti within!

I wanted to write something for women on Women’s day, but I could really not think of anything.  For being a woman meant so many things to me. Which aspect of being a woman should I write about? Should I write about her beauty or the repercussions of her beauty, her nurturing qualities or about being abused, her Shakti to stand up for herself or her vulnerability to succumb to pressures.

A myriad of emotions, thoughts and feelings ran across my mind when I actually paused and asked myself what it means to be a woman. As women we all have gone through bitter-sweet experiences in our lives ever since we were little children. My personal life was a roller coaster ride as well. But what I realized is that it is us that makes our experience. Whatever circumstances we may face, if we love, honor and respect ourselves, life too will.

We have also been told about how different we are from men. Right from our childhood we have been hearing this. So what if we are different? Does that make us bad? No...that makes us special. Rejoice in the fact that we are women! I think it is an honor to be born as a woman. Therefore it is our duty to honor ourselves, awaken the divine Shakti within us and unite with the blissful feminine energy that will give us absolute peace, love, grounding and power.

I think this is a right time to pause and take a good look at yourself. What you have gone through in life is remarkable but can you shake off the feeling that ‘it is not enough’ or ‘I am not good enough’ or ‘I could have done better’. All these are self-battering thoughts that only make you attract more struggle and misery. Wouldn’t you want freedom form such life? Would you want to reclaim your power as a woman?  If yes..then it is time.

I would like to share few tips that helped me immensely to realize my power as a woman and create a life as I wanted. I am happy to share these with you with the hope that this will also help you achieve your place.

 Start your day with gratitude – As you wake up, sit on your bed for few minutes and thank all the people, things and situations around you.

 Use Affirmations to set your intent for the day - Affirm “I now decide to have a fantastic day”, “I am successful in all my endeavors”, “I find joy and happiness in whatever I choose to do today”.
   

Create an environment that makes you happy – change the décor in your house, declutter your closets, get some new plants and connect with mother earth,paint your walls…do anything that will help you bond with your environment.

Respect your body – it does not matter what size you are. Love your body. Nourish it with healthy foods and beverages. Do not be critical about the way you look or the way you dress. Take pride in what you are and you will notice that twinkle in your eye.

Go on a self date – Go out once a week all by yourself and enjoy. It could be going to a movie, a dance class, shopping..anything. Be with yourself and enjoy your company.

Always engage in positive self talk – you cannot expect others to treat you respectfully and nicely if you do not respect yourself. Stop criticizing yourself. Give yourself compliments and pat yourself every time you do something.  

Take time out for yourself – However busy we are, we can easily squeeze in 10-15 minutes for ourselves..can’t we? This ‘Me-Time’ works wonders. It is time you unplug yourself from your daily chores and just be with yourself. Sit, relax, enjoy some fresh juice or green tea, listen to your inner voice. The result…you’ve got to experience it!!

Nurture a hobby – Many times we forgot about our passions and interests. Get in touch with your hobbies. Hobbies are a wonderful way to distress and calm your mind. Be it reading, singing, gardening, swimming..take out time for it.

End your day again with gratitude – what better way to end a day. Express your thanks to all the people who have touched your life. It could be your cab driver, or the vegetable vendor or a friend. Thank all. Most importantly thank yourself for being such a wonderful person – such a wonderful woman!.

The Magical Crystals

Crystals are the greatest gift from Mother Earth to us. The crystals are a source of high energy which can be accessed by us to heal, meditate and protect us. The crystal energies also help us in become more aware, build intuition, boost self confidence, relieve stress and so on. In fact crystals can be used for over thousands of uses. Crystals have been mined and used for over centuries. They have been used as part of jewellery, architecture (to adorn ancient temples) and also used as paint (for example Lapis Lazuli was ground to powder and used to paint the walls of temples).

If you wonder how a crystal affect the human body? Well the answer is that we all have life force or energy flowing within us. The energy is focussed in body in form of chakras.

We have seven major chakras – 

The Root Chakra, The Sacral Chakra, The Solar Plexus Chakra, The Heart Chakra, The Throat Chakra, The Ajna Chakra and the Crown Chakra. 

I will write in detail about Chakras and how to heal them in my next blog. Write now let us stick to crystals. Each Chakra has a specific function, when we're tired, stressed, unwell or depressed our chakras can slow down or even stop working (which really isn't that uncommon in the stressful society that we are a part of). Crystals are used by healers to help realign chakras, they can assist the healing process, and can be programmed for particular jobs.

Crystals have their own energy and frequency. They can enhance, promote and bring in chosen energies for our benefit. Like for instance -

•  Rose Quartz has love and nurturing energy. If you feel down or depressed, holding a Rose Quartz in your hand and meditating upon it will help you release the negative energy and harmonize yourself with the crystal energy and feel uplifted.
• Tourmalines help at times of change, within the tourmaline family there are different types: Black deflects negativity, Green brings emotional well being, watermelon (pink and green) and red help during times of change although in different ways.
• Topazes bring clarity, higher perspectives, and enhance creativity.
• Diamond is an amplifier and purifier
• Rubies strengthens the will and gives courage
• Emeralds help to turn negativity into positively.

  

Choosing the right Crystal for you

The best way is to let your intuition guide you, if you feel really drawn to one piece that’s the one for you. It can be incorporated into jewellery or be raw pieces.

Crystals in their natural form are the most powerful. When crystals are cut, shaped and polished they can lose their natural force. However if the piece you like has been shaped and polished working and wearing the stone will bring energy and life back to the stone and it will perform its natural function.

Here are some crystals that are available for sale. It is very critical to note that crystals need to be procured from authentic sources. There are lot of places that sell unnatural crystals that do not give the desired results.
