Crystal Energy Generators

If you are looking for a super charged crystal, then look no further than a crystal generator! These slightly space age looking wands or tools are six faceted crystals, often clear quartz or amethyst. It comes to a point at one end so that it collects and strengthens the energies in this place. These are wonderful aids to meditation or working alongside other crystals. However, you must cleanse and re-energies your other crystals after working with them as this is a very powerful force!


I have been working with this amethyst crystal energy generator lately as I have wanted to be very focused on something I am doing at work. The irony of the situation that I found myself in was that I was busy and so lacking in time to work with my crystals but tired and in need of the extra help! So my generator has come along to save the day.

I have been using it to accompany some affirmations that I have been working on and this is magnifying the effect of them and helping me to target exactly what I need to do. I’ll let you know if I get a promotion!

Blue Chalcedony

As I get older I have more and more of a problem with my memory! Not unusual I know but annoying never the less. It may not surprise you to find I have a crystal to help me with this, the lovely blue chalcedony. I don’t like to overuse this gemstone, and I could be tempted to keep it with me every day the way I am always forgetting things. But for anything important, this is the crystal I keep by me to help bring clarity and focus.

Crystals and Spells

I have been getting a little more into spells lately. A bit of a leap from working with crystals you may think! But not as far a leap as you may imagine as actually crystals are very often used by Wiccans and witches in their spell casting. So this lured me in and I’ve been giving it a go! I’ve only been doing a few basic spells to try and boost some of the energies and it’s not actually the first time I’ve done it, as can be seen in my post here.

But I am going to try and do some more with some spell candles as this fits with my beliefs on colours bringing different energies to you. Combined with my crystals I’m certainly going to be brightening the place up :)

There are some free spells that can be found here, if you want to look into this more.

Healing Friends

I had an interesting experience the other day that I’d like to share with you. There’s been a lot of illness around me lately and I’ve seemingly been fighting off coughs and colds for months now. So in other words, I’ve been a bit run down!

I had a friend round the other day and I was feeling a bit ropey but trying not to give in. Now my friend is one of those people that has an endless energy, a warm and friendly manner and people seem to be just drawn to her like she was a real log fire on a rainy cold day! I love the fact that she just seems to emanate this energy and doesn’t have to try, but I must admit on this day I was kind of struggling to do her visit justice.

She was talking away as I flopped down on the sofa and as she chatted, she reached out for a piece of amethyst and just caressed it absentmindedly. Almost immediately I started to perk up! It wasn’t a burst of energy or anything like that, more of a sense of calm and release washing over me. I was certainly more up for a natter.

I wanted to share this with you as I was interested in effect that someone with such loving and warm energies can have, a natural healing ability. Because someone else has handled my amethyst I should now cleanse the energies and neutralise them. In fact, I have left the piece she touched by my bed!

Chrysolla and compassion

When you’re feeling a little low yourself it can sometimes be hard to find the compassion and understanding that you should for others. It’s not that you don’t care of course, but just that you feel pressured or stressed and maybe not up to offering them your best help.

This is where chrysolla will come to your rescue. By calming you and helping you centre you will feel all the better equipped to provide gentle encouragement or support without feeling vulnerable to absorbing too much of the energies of the other person. For this reason I always find chrysolla to be a little like meditation! So use this crystal to sooth yourself before visiting someone or even leave it nearby to you as you talk.

Crystals and Colour Therapy

Another way in which you can use crystals is with colour therapy. It cannot fail to lift your spirits as the colours in the stones are so vibrant and pretty that they are simply a delight to have around. Here are some of the therapeutic effects of the colours and examples of the gemstones you can choose to work with.

Red for Energy and Vibrancy
Red carnelian, red jasper, red aventurine, red quartz

Yellow for Confidence
Yellow aventurine, some citrine, yellow jasper

Purple for Serenity
Amethyst

Orange for Wisdom
Some citrine, some tiger’s eye

Blue to Calm the Spirit
Blue banded agate, blue lace agate, lapis lazuli, sodalite, turquoise

White for Purity and Cleansing
Snow quartz

Green for Balancing Emotions
Tree agate, malachite, chrysocolla, green aventurine

How and Why Do Crystals Work?

How do crystals work, why do they work and how do I make them work for me?

The first point that needs to be made is that no one truly knows the answer to this question and it can at times be a controversial but exciting debate! The second point is that I am no scientist, which should come as no surprise to you.

But a quick summary of the scientific side is that it is to do with energies and vibrations. All objects and solid matter are said to be constantly vibrating at an atomic level and this includes both crystals and us!

We are obviously more complex beings than gemstones and this is why our vibrations and energies will get out of whack from time to time. Anything from illness to stress can put a strain on ours systems. By placing the crystals around us, we are absorbing their vibrations and rectify ours, put it all back into back into place.

In order to get crystals to work for you there are a few methods that you may want to try. Firstly, just by having them around you! This is simple but still affective. The vibrations will be further away from you but will be there all the same. So if you are short on time or just need a constant dose, then just place them around your home in the

To keep crystals close to you is also a very calming and therapeutic method. This can be done with jewellery and also by placing stones in your bag or around your desk at work.

I also wrote previously about using chakra points. This will help you to hone in on the areas that are causing you the most trouble and work directly with them.

Mostly, I feel that crystals work by you being open to them. By letting in the energies and forming what you could even describe as a bond with them, you will benefit all the more.
