Intro to Crystals

Many people are drawn to crystals – even when they don’t know about the powers they have.  Crystals can help heal just about anything, including a bruised heart and a troubled mind. 

Some of the most popular include:

  • ROSE QUARTZ:  When you wear rose quartz, the energy it has heals the heart. The vibration is love.
  • AMETHYST: When you have trouble sleeping, place amethyst under your pillow. It will help you sleep and dream. Its vibration helps you to relax.
  • CLEAR QUARTZ: Helps clear your mind.  Clear quartz can help you remember things and your recall will be better.  Carry the crystal on you when at work or in school.

Crystals come in a variety of sizes and styles.  Uplifting Connections carries tumbled stone crystals, large raw crystals, pendants, tabbies, lamps, pendulums, and more. 

When you use crystals with Reiki, you can call on the light to activate on the person so your healing goes into the body at the point of concern or pain.

The best way to use Crystals is topically.  They always give off their healing vibrations, so keeping them on or near you can work wonders.  You can also use them to help clean the energy in a room or a house. 

If you are looking to set up a healing space, place them in the room you will be working in.   It takes about a half hour for the healing energy to build in the room.

I hope you will try to use crystals.  I have been working with them from the age of 8 when my sister Chris gave me my first crystal.  Little did I know how I would come to need them in my life or how much a part of my life they would be from that day on.

I love to share my knowledge about crystals.  There is so much to learn!  The more I learn, the more I love them.  There are hundreds of different types of crystals used for a variety of things.  I teach classes on crystals in which we study the different types of crystals, how to take care of them, and much more.  I also  offer crystal healings at Uplifting Connections.  If you have any questions, find me at the store, and I’d be happy to help you!

How to Prepare for and What to Expect from a Reading

with Eileen Mallen-O’Brien and Cheryl Ceurvels

  •  Have questions ready (if you have any).
  • Let your Reader know if you are looking for something specific such as spirit communication with a specific person or insight on a job opportunity, particular life event, etc.
  • Give the reader the time to ‘tune in’ to spirit.
  • Be open to receiving the information that is offered.  Information comes more easily to the reader when you are relaxed and at ease.
  • Write down anything that you do not understand, as it may be pertinent in the coming weeks or months.
  • Answer questions openly and truthfully to help the reader interpret the information they are being shown.  (We do not ‘fish’ for information from you – promise!)
  • Your reading is not set in stone.  Life is variable and these messages are meant to give guidance and support.
  • Be open to your Highest & Best.
  • Expect guidance, inspiration, aha! moments, direction, and comfort.
  • Have fun!

When you are able to be open, you will receive a great reading filled with insight as the flow of energy between you, the reader, and your guides will be free and easy.  We want you to have an uplifting and comforting experience and to leave knowing you are loved and that you are never alone; your guides and angels surround you always.
