CALCITE CLEANSING STATION

This is my gorgeous hunk of calcite that I got not long ago, calcite is the perfect tool for cleansing other crystals and tools you wish to use in rituals or on yourself. Cleansing stations are easy to use just place the crystals or objects on the calcite and place in a quiet place, this can be inside or outside.

Calcite is also a really good tool to use to cleanse yourself, it works great with the mid-section/ stomach area and our emotional centre. It promotes proper elimination and encourages calcium uptake in bones. 

Calcite is also great for meditation and uplifting your emotions.

This is my little charging station working away outside with my new collection of crystals. There is Raw Emerald at the back, Black obsidian/ dragon glass arrow head, agate ball and my favourite cavansite in matrix

CLEAR QUARTZ

LAVENDER/ PATCHOULI

Lavender and patchouli oils can be inhaled or applied topically. When inhaling add 2-4 drops in a cup or bowl of boiling water, add drops one at a time to avoiding making the scent too strong. Lavender and patchouli can also be applied topically, you can rub them into your temples. Adding a few drops to your bath can also help relax you.

PEPPERMINT OIL

Peppermint is a soothing home remedy that has been shown to benefit tension headaches. This fresh-smelling oil has vaso-constricting and vaso-dilating properties, which help control blood flow in the body. Headaches and migraine pain are often due to poor blood flow, and peppermint oil helps to open and close the vessels that promote flow. Peppermint home remedies also open up the sinuses so that more oxygen can get into the bloodstream
