True Beauty Starts From Within - Spiritual Diva

   True beauty starts from within. The energy you hold inside you, and in your auric field always manifests itself on the outside. Sometimes, we work so hard on the physical parts of ourselves that we forget to take care of our inner emotions and feelings. We beat ourselves up for all of our imperfections, and seem to only focus on what we hate about ourselves. Loving yourself is the most important factor in life. It affects everything from self confidence, to having healthy relationships, even being successful. It truly took me years to even "like" myself never mind "love"myself, but once I realized how much it affected my quality of life, I stared to look at it differently, and things slowly began to change. 

  I am a hairstylist, and own a salon called Spiritual Diva Hair Design.  I am also a reiki practitioner. Working in an industry that is focused almost solely on outer beauty, and one that is focused solely on inner beauty. I got to see first hand just how your inner energy can effect every aspect of life. I see amazing, beautiful women who hate themselves every day! I also see women that are very confident and truly love themselves. If you compared the quality of life of these two kinds of women, It is like day and night. You see, when you love yourself, you vibrate at a higher level, therefore you will attract things into your life that match your energetic vibration. Good things in life like success, love, and inner peace vibrate at a higher rate. When you loathe yourself, always put yourself down, and lack confidence, you will always struggle to attain the things that come easily to a person that has self love, because you have a lower energetic vibration. 

   Due to past experiences and emotional trauma, we form blockages in our energy centers called Chakras. When our Chakras are blocked or out of balance it can cause us to vibrate at a lower level . This can cause us to feel insecure, depressed, anxious, and even angry. Believe it or not, this almost always manifests itself on the outside physically. Hair, Skin, and weight can all be affected by chakra blockages. I see this every day as well. In order to have outer beauty, we need to first shine from the inside. 

  Crystals and gemstones have been my passion for years . I am fascinated by each energetic makeup, and how they heal the human aura. I have found that certain crystals help with unblocking the chakras pertaining to self love, and confidence. Just having crystals in your aura raises your vibration to meet It's own. You feel better emotionally and physically for this reason. Below are some of my favorite crystals for self love, confidence and physical beauty. 

MOONSTONE

is a stone for new beginnings, inner growth, and strength. It soothes emotional instability, and stabilizes emotions providing calmness. It enhances intuition, promotes inspiration, success, and good fortune in love and business matters. It aids in digestion, eliminates toxins, and fluid retention. Moonstone alleviates degenerative conditions of the skin, hair, and eyes. It balances hormones, and is great for PMS, fertility, conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. I find that when my hair clients have hair loss it is usually due to a hormonal imbalance. Due to the fact that moonstone balances hormones, I recommend putting a flat palm stone in your pillow case at night. Adding Aquamarine will work well also.

PINK TOURMALINE
Assists in restoring luster and shine to hair and nails, It increases collagen and helps to reduce wrinkles.  Wearing or having Pink Tourmaline in your aura helps release stress, worries, depression and anxiety. It can be used with Black Tourmaline to diffuse obsessive behavior. It is an amazing crystal for cleansing your heart chakra of destructive thoughts and feelings, and guides us towards self love and compassion. Pink Tourmaline helps us to change old relationship patterns that no longer serve our best interest. It helps you to trust enough to open your heart again to someone new, and helps you recover your joy of life again. 

AQUAMARINE
is a stone for courage and communication. This stone is an excellent tool for self-development. It assists in understanding the reasons for holding on to old thought patterns that no longer serve you.  Aquamarine is also great for hydrating the skin, fluid retention, hair loss and acne. I find Aquamarine helpful for PMS related water retention. I always wear this stone during that time of the month paired with Moonstone for hormonal balance.

MOOKAITE JASPER
 is a healing stone that gives strength and confidence. It shields from difficult situations and connects us to loved ones who have passed away. It brings us to the here and now, and helps to release the past and accept the future simultaneously. It helps us to accept change and to not be afraid of it. Mookaite Jasper also helps those who tend to procrastinate. Its energy keeps one focused and well-grounded while quieting distracting thoughts. It is great for focusing on a specific goal or for a motivational boost. Mookaite Jasper is known for boosting the immune system, and helping to counter the effects of aging. It helps you to emotionally accept the aging process as well. 

  Keeping these crystals in your aura with tumbled stones or wearing them on jewelry works well if held or worn on the left hand. Your left hand is your energetic receiving hand. Holding these crystals during meditation will bring clarity to the underlying issues that cause you not to love yourself. 

I use these four stones on my Beauty Inside & Out Collection for the reasons listed

above

How To Use Crystals And Gemstones For Stress And Anxiety Relief

   We all live in a world where stress is a part of everyday life. We rush from one place to another, trying to be everywhere, and do everything all at once . Although this fast paced way of life is sometimes unavoidable, constant stress and anxiety can wreck havoc on your immune system and your mental state. 

 Crystals offer a natural form of stress and anxiety relief. Crystals vibrate at a high level energetically. When you have crystals in your aura, they raise your energetic vibration to meet its own. When you vibrate at a higher level, you feel better emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Crystals encourage a more relaxed state of mind. They ease tension in the body, promote tranquility and a state of peace. Below are a few of my favorite crystals for stress and anxiety relief

Amethyst

 is a meditative and calming stone which works on the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to provide calm, balance, patience,and peace. It enhances intuition and psychic ability by making a clear connection between earth and the spirit world.
Amethyst is also great for meditation, lucid dreaming, telepathy, clairaudience, clairvoyance, and communication with angels. It also protects against psychic attack.
Emotionally Amethyst is used to relieve stress and anxiety. It eases grief, and loss, and assists in getting rid of addictions and compulsive destructive behavior.
Physically Amethyst helps with addiction withdrawals, headaches, insomnia, pain relief, circulation, endocrine system, Fibromyalgia ,Chronic Fatigue, and all around general healing.

Fluorite

calms and relieves anxiety and stress. It helps to overcome any form of disorganization and unblocks stuck energies making you feel more at ease. Fluorite cleanses and stabilizes the aura, and draws off negative energy and stress. It cleanses, dispels and reorganizes anything in the body and environment that is not perfect. It creates balance by eradicating disruptive cellular growth, and helps with cleansing and reconstructing DNA.

Blue Lace Agate

Is stone with a calming vibration. It helps with anger issues and a calming of nervousness. It is considered a happiness stone. Blue Lace Agate promotes inner stability, composure and maturity, and encourages security and self-confidence. It is helpful to wear or carry Blue Lace Agate if you have a hard time expressing your emotions without getting upset. It also helps people who get anxiety about pubic speaking . Blue Lace Agate is also helpful for new mothers who are suffering from postpartum depression. This is why I use it in my New Mom Collection.

Malachite 

   Is a stone of transformation. It assists one in changing situations and provides for spiritual growth. It heals on physical and emotional levels, drawing out impurities and stimulating the life force throughout the aura of the body. Malachite is a protective stone that absorbs negative energy, releases anxiety, and helps to keep a positive inner state. It helps with healing and releasing negative experiences and old traumas, especially from childhood. 

   After obtaining these crystals, make sure to clear them of any negative energies they might have absorbed before they got to you. Leave them in the moonlight overnight. Amethyst will fade in the sunlight so moonlight is the best choice for clearing and charging.

   These crystals carry the vibration of serenity, and I find that when I use them during meditation, they help to clear my mind of distractions. I can easily get into a meditative state when I am stressed out and have anxiety. I use the following meditation often.

. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, sit or lie down (whichever is most comfortable )
. Hold your crystals in your left hand (your energetic receiving hand)

. breathe deeply, in through your nose and out through your mouth

.  feel the muscles in your body release and your body sinking with every breath.

. envision a white light coming into your body through the crown of your head when you breathe in. When you breathe out envision a black or grey cloud of smog releasing any stress, anxiety, or negative energy 

. stay in this state for at least 10 minutes, longer if possible

This meditation has helped me many times. I use it whenever I feel overwhelmed. It grounds my energy and balances my emotions 

I make a Stress and Anxiety Reiki jewelry collection with all of the crystals listed above.
