Amethyst
With Tara Johanna
Amethyst is a purple crystal that can be found in many different forms and in combination with many different crystals. (chevron amethyst and ametrine are just a few examples.)
It is a very creative crystal, and is very helpful in assisting artists in their projects. It can be used to boost creative thoughts and relieve writers block.
Amethyst is a great healer, healing people, plants, animals, and situations of negativity. It is very protective and repels psychic attacks, paranormal harm, or ill-wishing and curses. The negative energy is returned to the universe and transforms into loving, positive energy.
It is very calming and therefore is very beneficial for anyone who suffers with anxiety. It assists the
transmission of neural signals through the brain and relieves obsessive compulsive symptoms and hyperactivity in animals and children. When placed under the pillow, it can help cure insomnia and night terrors/nightmares.
As for physical healing, amethyst aids the digestive system, heart, stomach, and skin. It strengthens the immune system and reduces pain and swelling. It can also be used as an elixir for the treatment of arthritis. Amethyst also heals headaches and migraines and reduces stress and nervous tension.
Amethyst is very useful for the emotional body, bringing a peace over a stressed and overworked mind. It eases mental anxiety and can calm those who are especially easily angered. It can also be used to help fight addictions.
Amethyst works with the higher chakras, mostly with the third eye. This means that an amethyst can be placed on the third eye chakra to help enhance psychic abilities and clairvoyance. It brings the soul in a deeper connection with the divine and angelic beings, making communication much easier.
*****PLEASE KEEP IN MIND*****
Although amethyst is very useful in calming the mind, those with schizophrenia, psychosis, paranoia, etc. should NOT be given amethyst to work with the third eye. As amethyst does increase psychic abilities and clairvoyance, it can in some cases make things worse for those who suffer with mental illness or psychotic symptoms.
Amethyst is one of the best crystals to use with meditation as not only does it bring one closer to the angelic realm, it also brings a calmness throughout the mind that may ease those with recurring thoughts.

Carnelian
With Tara Johanna
So for the past week I’ve seen multiple carnelians online and in person. I’ve been drawn to them more than ever, so I’m wondering if I was meant to write about it this week for someone else who needs to hear it?
Carnelian comes in many varieties of colours, ranging from an almost pinkish orange, to deep brown. It attracts prosperity and good luck. It is also well used to boost stamina for those who work with their hands on a daily basis.
It promotes confidence and clarifies the voice, which can be useful for singers or stage performers. It can enhance courage to help overcome difficulties, and help women with fertility issues/conceiving a child. It can also be used to aid the success of in vitro and artificial insemination. The orange and deep red colours are important with love and the reproduction system of a woman. Thus, easing menstrual cramps and symptoms of menopause.
Carnelian stimulates the metabolism and helps bring blood to the organs and tissues. It helps absorb vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, and improves overall circulation. It can reduce varicose veins and hemorrhoids, heal lower back issues, arthritis, and accelerate the process of healing bones and ligaments. It is also useful in healing depression, keeping one grounded and finding that sunshine in life.
It is also very useful in helping the body detoxify from alcohol or drugs, easing symptoms and helping the body balance naturally.
It’s a very creative stone, helping with motivation and creative ventures. It improves concentration and stops recurring thoughts from hindering any progress.
Carnelian can also shift feelings of rage and anger into feelings of love. It can help those with anger issues to become more peaceful. It can also protect the aura from other’s anger issues. For example, if a coworker is especially angry, carnelian can be used to repel those feelings of anger, and instead promoting love. It can also alleviate jealousy and possessiveness in relationships, troubles with eating disorders, and aid with male mid-life crisis.
Carnelian works with the sacral chakra and base chakra. Because of its range of red/brown to orange/pinkish colour, it can help one stay grounded, enhance intuition, and aid those with the inability to feel joy.
When used in meditation, it can aid those with a fear of death and enhances the acceptance of the circle of life. It is also a great crystal to use with past life issues or questions. It can carry not only the secrets of one’s entire past, but the stories and records of our planet, where we came from, and the universe as a whole.

There is a warning that comes with this crystal. When meditating on it to deepen your understanding of yourself, you may find out information or see parts of yourself that you may not rather see. However, once you come to an understanding of everything, it brings your spiritual understanding to a complete other level.
