I work in a crystal shop

[slim116]

So cool working at a crystal shop!

Here's how I use some crystals...

Hematite & Blue Aragonite for Grounding and Aligning focus for the mind
I usually get headaches from doing magick, or thinking, or mental stimulation (usually a pulsing headache in third eye area)... I lie down and put a hematite flatstone on my forehead and... instant relief, and i let it rest there for a while. Then once all the static of the headache wears off but I still have a scattered mind, I switch it with Blue Aragonite as this I find this focuses my multiple thoughts into one thought (like closing a whole bunch of open tabs on your browser and only using one).

Obsidian for Wards
I have a ward jar with a few obsidian tumbles (and a few other non-crystal ingredients), good absorption and reflecting back negativity, curses.

If you want your life to change in an unexpected way, I heard Malachite might be your best bet. Also heard it may create big changes that are uncomfortable, but it is for your highest good in the end. I haven't had personal experiences yet so can't confirm, but I do want to get my hands on some Malachite one day.

Crystals work with subtle vibrations.

If the OP is still watching this thread, I suggest spending any free time in the shop placing individual crystals that appeal to you in the palm of your left hand to listen to what they feel like.

Rose quartz is a safe bet. Amethyst is also a good one, often very healing. Be a bit cautious with clear quartz if anything is making you anxious or angry, as it tends to amplify whatever you're already feeling.

Ok you are bringing me some ideas, but first of all I am curious if you feel differences when arranging them in different patterns around the candles. Did you experiment with that?

Its a bit New Age, but Reiki and Katrina Raphael and her followers first systemized 'stone grids' and 'crystal arrangement' for healing, and it later got generalized for magickal workings, if that offers any leads?
