Working with crystals during a Reiki healing or meditation is common amongst those who practice in this field. Before I get into the benefits of Neon Apatite, I will give you a short background on how I was introduced to crystals, before even realizing their healing abilities. Prior to becoming a Reiki practitioner, I heard about people using crystals for different purposes. I have to admit, I always thought it was non-sense and nothing more than a placebo effect. When I started my jewelry business in 2008, my first creations were made with Venetian Glass. The colors were so pretty and the beads were so unique but within a short time, my eyes quickly turned to raw gemstones. I remember seeing some very unique jewelry from a designer that created artisan type jewelry (jewelry that was right up my alley!) and the raw gemstones she used spoke to me, mesmerized me and captivated my attention. I can remember going through phases of wanting to work with aquamarine, then another phase of rose quartz, then amethyst, apatite..... it was like a need to be around certain crystals at different times in my life. Shortly before receiving my level 1 Reiki training, I was reading about how crystals are used in Reiki energy healing and for some reason, it all clicked and made sense to me. I have had moments during treatments when a client has a stubborn energy block that won't clear. I get a stone that I intuitively choose, incorporate the Reiki and amazingly there is a release that I and the client can actually feel.
What is neon blue apatite and when would you use it? Apatite is a naturally bright blue/green colored stone that was first discovered in Madagascar. It is associated with 2 chakras. The first being the Third Eye Chakra (aka. Brow Chakra). Meditating with this stone can open up this chakra, enhancing the development of psychic ability, clairvoyance and clairaudience. It helps expand the mind and brings clarity to thoughts and ideas. A wonderful stone to use for studying.
Apatite is also a powerful stone for the Throat Chakra. It aids in effective communication, self-expression and openness. It creates a feeling of ease in social situations and great to use for public speaking.
If you like to meditate, try doing it with a crystal and see if you can feel a vibration in the stone, warmth or even a connection. A few months ago I was clearing and setting Reiki intention into
a handful of black tourmaline chips. As I held them in my hand, the vibration was so strong that my thumb was actually twitching from it!
Crystals are beautiful specimens created by nature and harvested from the deep trenches of the Earth. Once skeptical of their "power", I now use them on a daily basis, not only for my jewelry but for my Reiki lifestyle. Go explore some books about crystals and visit a shop that have crystals for you to see and touch - I guarantee you will be intrigued!
I hope you enjoyed this blog - have a wonderful week <3
