Your Crystal Cracked - Now What???

We’ve all been there - crystals crack, especially when used for energy healing. It starts with small fissures on the inside that let us know they are working. Or in the case of amethyst and citrine crystals, the colors may appear to fade with time, depending on how much energy they transmute.

When a crystal cracks, we thank it for its healing vibes and put it back into the earth so that it can recharge its energy and eventually be reabsorbed by the natural cycles in the earth. 




Can We Keep Them From Cracking?

You might be wondering if there is anything we can do to keep them from cracking; a fair bit of crystal care will go a long way to keeping them intact:
1) Clear new crystals by putting them on a bed of sea salt or brown rice. Then hold it in your hand and fill it with divine light, asking that it keep it clear and full of energy on a daily basis.
2) Rinse regular-use crystals with water at least once a week, and then fill it with divine light again to dedicate its energy. 
3) Keep your crystals in a cool dry place, out of the sunlight to preserve their color (especially important for rose quartz, amethyst, citrine and other varieties that lose their color). 
4) Tune into the crystal's energy and give it a break when it needs one, burying it in a potted plant for a few weeks. This last suggestion is essential. We can get a feel for a crystal's energy by holding it in our left, receiving hand, and sensing its energy levels. The crystal's energy might say "give me a rest!" in which case you might bury it in a potted plant for a month. Taking care of crystals keeps them with us longer. When the crystal is ready to come again it will pop into your mind. You can feel its energy with your left hand.

Crystals worn as jewelry may need more cleansing because so many people admire them on us. A few months ago, I had been wearing a lapis lazuli pendant and a moonstone bracelet everyday; they both fell off their silver chains the same day. A sign that they probably needed some rest as I had been wearing them for months. The social event that I attended that day was also intense, energetically speaking. 

Take care of your favorite crystals and they will be with you for a long time. Clearing crystals is wonderful and I also like to fill them up with energy afterwards, to give them an extra boost. Follow the links to my book: Chakra Healing & Magick. 💕💕💕

Does sharing have to be selfless or painful?

One of the things that I have had to let go of is the idea that if we help someone, it has to be 100% altruistic - in order for the action to be good. I don’t know if this is an idea that I adopted in childhood seeing others hold up selflessness as good - “give till it hurts” etc. The world would be a much better place if we knew that it is always in our benefit to help others. We always get something in return, directly or indirectly 💛 🫶🏻 Research shows that kindness makes for a much healthier society. I read a book last year called Shadow, Self & Spirit on transpersonal (or collective) psychology. There was a chapter on the psychology of evil and violence. People are less likely to harm others if they experience some form of compassion in their lives, or if they believe that someone cares about them - even if it’s a public figure, a politician, a celeb, or a deity like Quan Yin. Or better yet, family members, friends, and strangers. Random acts...

Is Manifesting for Real?

A while ago I wrote a post asking if spirit guides are real - pointing out that we have to challenge our beliefs, and also how we interpret what happens to us. Let's not get stuck in an idea or a worldview.  So today I'm going to take this approach to manifesting - is it for real? I don't think manifesting is for real, nor should it be the main focus in our lives. And honestly, I say this despite evidence to the contrary in my own life, i.e. things that I've manifested.   My issue with manifesting is that it's focused on ourselves, and what we can get in the material world. Personally, I've had good results applying conventional methods to get ahead - with help from my angels and guides. But still, it took drive and ambition to find a good corporate job in London, years ago. That and focusing on my personal competencies, and on the soft skills that were needed. Putting myself out there, networking, knocking on doors. Real world activities. And luck, that is a...

Looking into a Reiki Meta-Analysis (Clinical Study)

A few days ago, I came across a Reiki meta-analysis that was published last year. A meta analysis is a very large study that compiles other studies, in this case randomized controlled trials, and aggregates all of their data. As I have mentioned before, one of the challenging things about holistic studies, and clinical studies in general, is making sure that they accurately measure what they intend to measure. Note: I may come back to this in the future to keep refining information and thoughts, and to simplify it.  In the meantime, my first impressions :  Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.   Syst Rev. 2025 Mar 27;14(1):72.    The participants in these studies were cancer patients, surgical patients and people with chronic issues (including high stress) who were not hospitalized. There weren't enough people in those study groups to generate reliable statistics for cancer vs surgery, but when all of them...
