Often we wish we could improve the relationships we have with people in our lives, or find new companionship whether it is for love or friendship. But with the current state of the world, this can seem more and more difficult.

Opal has the power to remind us that we receive back the energy that we send out. By keeping white opal nearby, you’ll find yourself suffused with its generous and noble energy, which will be naturally reciprocated in potential friends and lovers.

Meditating with opal is an effective way to quickly cleanse yourself of feelings of betrayal or hurt from a past relationship. Once these feelings have passed, you’ll find it easier to repair your relationship or start again fresh.

Certain people are highly receptive to the emotions and energy of others. Although this grants a unique ability to sympathise with others, it also often means taking in a lot of negative energy, which will quickly wear you down.

Hematite is the ideal stone for rebalancing your internal energy. Try meditating while holding hematite in order to connect your root chakra with the earth. This will balance the meridians within the body and reset the energy balance, leading to feelings of calmness, security and reduced stress.

The word Merkaba is formed of three other words; Mer meaning light, Ka meaning spirit and Ba meaning body. Put together, this connotes the union of the spirit and the body, surrounded by light.

The symbol, a tetrahedron formed of intersecting pyramids, is said to be the shape of a divine vehicle made of light that can transport or connect the spirit with higher realms.

Dowsing pendulums are a divination tool used in spiritual healing and dowsing. Pendulums can be used to locate and resolve blockages in the chakra. When a pendulum is suspended above each of the chakra points, subtle changes in the motion of the pendulum can indicate where energy blockages or problems are occurring. With meditation or reiki techniques the chakra can be rebalanced, leading to health improvements in the parts of the body related to that chakra.

Pendulums are also very effective at neutralizing negative energy. They can be used to cleanse someone’s aura, or dispel negativity in a room.

Want to increase your creativity, improve emotional expression or calm an overactive mind?

Stress and anxiety can have a clouding effect on the spirit. The treadmill of work or school life can easily lead to the closing off of the mind to the higher spiritual self. This makes it harder to remember dreams and interpret signs and synchronicities that are meant to guide you in life.

Turquenite is known as an “attunement stone” for its ability to open and prepare the mind to receive higher energies. This can lead to unlocking new levels of creativity and balance emotions.

Many people are fond of Turquenite for its uncomplicated and soothing energy, which makes it perfect for insomnia sufferers, who often experience deeper sleep and more meaningful dreams when they keep Turquenite nearby.
