I love hosting Kim Dowdell's classes and have learnt so much from her over the years about the crystal kingdom and 'stone medicine'. One of the crystals we discussed after yesterday's class on BREATHING, is Chrysocolla, I have a necklace and always feel the benefit of wearing it, so I thought I'd share this amazing crystal with you.

In moments of challenge and uncertainty, wise words from the heart can offer a soothing and peaceful refuge. One such source of tranquillity is the stunning blue-green crystal, Chrysocolla.
Known for its vibrant hues reminiscent of the ocean, Chrysocolla is a hydrous copper silicate mineral typically found in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. It is part of the same mineral family as turquoise, malachite, azurite – so often grow together That's the geology 'bit' - but this beautiful crystal is not only a visual delight but also a powerful tool for emotional and spiritual healing, so let's explore some of those.
Tapping into Inner Strength
Chrysocolla helps you tap into your inner strength, providing the resilience needed to move forward when faced with challenges. It helps you maintain calm amidst chaos, warding off and protecting against negative influences in your life.
Incorporating Chrysocolla into your daily life can bring about profound emotional and spiritual benefits. Whether you're seeking emotional healing, enhanced communication, empowerment, peace, physical healing, or creative inspiration, this beautiful crystal offers a path to inner tranquillity and strength.

If you feel lost for words, this stone can help you become more articulate in speech or writing.

Tibetan meditation pose
This unscrambles the energies making for clearer communication, clearer thinking, improved left/right brain integration and cheers you up in no time at all, so great for when you are feeling sad, confused or angry. It returns your energy circuits to default, reduces stress, and encourages release of past emotional baggage or trauma.
It is sometimes considered to be a blocking pose but in reality, if you are over-stimulated, you are naturally trying to unscramble so that you can understand more clearly, so it is the total opposite of being blocked, it is about wanting to be open and understanding.
Sit [or stand], cross the arms over the chest with hands under the armpits, thumbs out and up. Close your eyes, breath and smile. Stay in this position until you feel calm.

Put your arms out in front of you, palms facing outwards. Feet are still crossed.
