Crystals can be used to assist women of all ages and in all stages of healing. The awakening of the Self to a spiritual journey is not an easy task. It can demand much time and resources to achieve self-development and growth.
Crystals have a healing role to play in this fantastic journey. Crystals provide protection and give sanctuary for the deep healing a woman does within herself.
Crystals and gemstones have often been worn by men as jewelry, or to decorate formal suits to signify their official or regal status in society. In ancient times polished crystals were embedded on shields for protection during battle. Carved crystal amulets offered protection from poisoned wine. Gem and crystal crafting today is still almost exclusively men’s work. However, the use of precious metals and gem synthetics has slowly replaced the use of gemstones in popular men’s jewelry. The use of crystals for healing was popularized in the tale of England’s King Arthur with his wizard, Merlin, who lived in the Crystal Cave.
Crystals are truly gifts from the Earth. Children seem to have a natural attraction to pick them up and fully explore any kind of stone or crystal.
Some stones discovered in the twentieth century were not known to the ancients or to our ancestors, for they were not needed then. Their state of consciousness, or the state of the world, was a different one from ours.
The world has changed in many ways, both positive and negative. While there may seem to be many more temptations and pressures and dangers than before, there are also many more opportunities for spiritual growth and healing and peace. Some of the New Age stones have come to our attention in this time period to help us attune ourselves to the energies we need to cope with this new world and transform it into a better world.
Off of the top of your head, which crystals might come to mind regarding the topic of Ancient Mystery Schools and the accessing of past info?
This was the very question that I posed to a dear friend of mine by the name of Crystalmoon. This link is based on her reply.
The most effective way to use any gemstone for healing purposes is to wear it as close to the skin as possible. Some women like to “hide” their gemstones within the deep inner recesses of their bras, but the vast majority prefer to wear their chosen gemstone around their neck on a silver or gold plated chain.
Gemstones may, if so desired, be held in the hand while you are watching television during the evening or while you are reading a favorite book or magazine. The healing energies of your chosen gemstone(s) will then be gently absorbed into your physical and mental bodies whilst you are relaxing.
You may also like to place your gemstone under your pillow at night whilst you are asleep; thus allowing the energies of the stone to gently penetrate your subtle body whilst you are in a deep state of sleep.
Certain stones can help you to develop your spiritual abilities and gifts. Use an Amethyst, for example, in developing your intuitive awareness; a Lapis Lazuli for acquiring wisdom and truth and a Moonstone for obtaining humanitarian love and sensitivity. Use your gemstones wisely in the pursuit of all your ambitions and needs.

Recently I read a book entitled The American Indian Secrets of Crystal Healing by Luc Bourgault. There were words stated within that moved me greatly; words that I feel are essential to make note of here.
Simply go to Crystal Wisdom.
Indeed, Luc’s words are most powerful and merit careful re-reading and reflection and can be purchased through both Amazon (US) and Amazon (CDA).
Root Chakra (base of spine)
Smoky Quartz
Represented by the colour red, this chakra pertains to physical survival and stability. Blockages include feelings of not belonging and not being home (no roots); not being able to make a living, not being able to materialize goals. One’s core identity is developed here. Panic is a root chakra emotion. Smoky Quartz is a gentle grounding stone. It will draw out and absorb negative energies, replacing them with positive ones.
Sacral (Belly) Chakra (between pubic bone and navel)
Carnelian
Represented by the colour orange, this chakra pertains to creativity, feelings, sexual drive and pleasure. The unhealed inner child lives here. Blockages include the need to control; the need to hold on; the need to mother others and to be mothered; relationship issues, deep resentments over being manipulated or manipulating other people. Stress and trauma tend to become lodged at the sacral chakra. The Carnelian will balance all three lower chakras (base, sacral and solar plexus), encouraging confidence, practicality and the ability to feel at home in the world.
Solar Plexus Chakra (level of lowest ribs)
Citrine
Represented by the colour yellow, this chakra pertains to self confidence, empowerment, will power and the ability to be materially successful. Blockages include fear of one’s free will being violated; inability to free oneself from coercive situations; inability to accept responsibility; fear of criticism or of being ignored, fear of failure. Citrine helps overcome depression, freeing oneself from oppressive influences. This stone helps to restore one’s joie de vivre.
