Crystal of the month: Selenite

A protective stone, Selenite shields a person or space from outside influences. Selenite can evoke protection from the angelic realm and also dispels negative energy. The powerful energies of Selenite help one connect with one's guides, guardians, Christ Consciousness and Higher Self. Selenite can be held or placed around a person to facilitate such a connection.

Selenite calms and soothes, bringing a deep peace and sense of tranquility. Use selenite in a grid around your home or in the corners of a room to create a safe and peaceful space. Meditating with selenite aids in access to past and future lives. This crystal brings mental clarity, clearing confusion and revealing the bigger picture behind any problem.

Selenite is a crystallized form of Gypsum, which is used for good luck and protection. The powerful vibration of selenite can clear, open, and activate the crown and higher chakras and is excellent for all types of spiritual work. Selenite can also be used to strengthen the memory.

I chose selenite as the first stone of the month because I resonate deeply with the cleansing and calming energy emitted by selenite. My first meeting with selenite was when I had an overwhelming emotional experience of clairempathy and clairsentience. I sought out my go to crystal source JaniceB for assistance with clearing out the negative energy that was clinging to me. She suggested to me a beautifully wrapped selenite and bloodstone piece that I hang at my office door to create a safe and peaceful space. I also used to it clear the energy on and around my physical body.

Since then I have acquired several more selenite pieces. I have larger pieces to charge my other crystals. I keep a piece near my bed. I have another piece near my bedroom door. I also have a selenite tower on my alter. I carry a small piece with me almost daily for when I am out and about. If you are looking for a crystal to start, selenite is an excellent choice.

This was the true beginning of a new relationship between crystals and me in my life. So much so that I am now a certified crystal healer. I continue to heal myself and others with the energy and vibrations of crystals.
