I am now a believer in crystals!!.....

[CrystalSong]

Kyanite is actually a favorite of mine.
Two are always included in my sleeping field in a grid with a quartz cluster, Nuumite and black tourmaline.
I also have it in jewelry I wear often.
It is also used regularly in cleaning my aura and opening/cleansing and balancing my chakra's. I like it because it is very powerful.

It does take some getting used too, but like everything, we adapt, often more quickly than we expect.
These days I sleep with a huge amount of crystals nearby, but remember a time when 30 minutes in a crystal shop would have me blown out and staggering about. :)

staggering, really? this is just all new to me....
don't some stones cancel out the energy of others, when you have many around in the same room?

I have tumbled Ruby in Kyanite, and in the first week of having it...when I meditated with it I don't feel anything from it so I thought it has no energy at all. So I decided how bout if I just carry it in my pocket, then carrying it after more than 30 minutes I felt dizzy and some mild headaches and I felt uncomfortable with it that I have to take it off and put it in the grid. So I used it on and off ...but after 2-3 weeks that's where I could already feel its real energy. It's very soothing, gentle and warm, and the warmth I felt was more in my lower back and the dizziness and headaches are now gone.

But still, I could not felt any alignment of my chakras...as to which I am expected it to do. Just a warmth feeling in my lower back. Maybe, Blue Kyanite is very different to Ruby in Kyanite. I was a little bit hesitant if I still needs the Blue Kyanite.

Good luck
And Dizzy yea Black Tourmaline is ace xxxx

What is everyone talking about with a "grid"? What does that mean?

[Lisbet]

Nice story. I have read (and had) experiences of other stones being "too" powerful for sleeping next to! Sometimes it depends on the particular stone. For example some amethyst seems fine to put beside my bed, while other amethyst gives me terrible dreams! But you can never really blame a bad dream on anything but your own mind. Just some stones can intensify and bring to light something that is already there!

Crystal grids is a formation of crystals to manifest different things.

I have never slept with a crystal. I would probably wake up burnt to a crisp!

I'm very sensitive to crystal energy.

It really mean...you have already collected dozens of crystals and stones then you are become bored in just putting them in the box and decided to arranged them in the floor according to what your artistic creativity tells you.

But don't get me wrong, there are lots of info bout grids and their uses. And it really packs an energy that you can really feel if you are sensitive.

Funny you said that, that was my very first gemstone- black tourmaline. Lemme tell you, it works super good but you may wanna charge it under sunlight often for all it does :-)
