Crystal of the Week,
Healing
Named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, because of its luminous moon-like glow,
translucent white Selenite has an ethereal quality, and is said to inhabit the space between light and matter.
White selenite has a very fine vibration and brings clarity of mind, and is great for working on the upper chakras, ie the crown(top of
head) and brow(between eyes) and for clearing the body’s aura of negative energy.
Using a Wand
Light and energy pass through the wand, flowing from the thicker end and focusing to the tip. So pointed away from the body a wand
will tend to draw energy away, and pointed towards the body will tend to channel energy in.
1.Point the Selenite wand to the brow or crown chakra to send light
energy in and awaken/activate them.
2.To clear the body’s aura and protect from negativity you can wave the
wand in a sweeping motion around the body
(not touching the body, but about 30 cm away) 3 to 4 times.
3.To release a negative block from the physical body use the wide
fluorite end to massage or rub the affected area, this will draw the
energy out, and the massaging action will physically relax the muscles in the
affected area.

Kyanite- excellent for attunement and meditation.
It is an amplifier of higher energies, stimulating psychic abilities and the intuition.
