Our little zen garden has gotten me thinking a lot about crystals and stones, and their healing powers. It’s not something that I really know much about, but I’ve always found it fascinating. I love the idea that placing crystals around your body or in certain parts of the home can bring healing properties and positive energies. I also love the idea of crochet covered stones, and gold-painted rocks like the ones in our garden – a fun DIY project that can be used for decorative purposes around the home – and perhaps even make it a more zen like place in the process. Here’s some more inspiration I’ve gathered around the web, and if any of you know any good websites or books for reading more about healing with crystals, I’d love to hear about them!

I am a huge rock collector. I have everything from stones to crystals! Love these photos! I love how mysterious they are.

Wow! Just wow! These are amazing!
The Book of Stones by Naisha Ashian is the best guide to the healing properties of crystals. Her meditation CD’s are also amazing.

hey fp! i’ve recently just got into collecting and using crystals for energy healing~ since i’ve just started i picked up these books ~ The Essential Guide to Crystals by Simon and Sue Lilly… and Crystal Prescriptions ( the a-z guide to over 1,200 symptoms and their healing crystals )by Judy Hall. They’ve both been helpful!! Another neat way to utilize crystals is to wear them… so i’ve been wire wrapping crystals,stones, small animal bones.. it’s pretty easy and very beautiful. heres one of many tutorials on how to make them~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K50VS8GtZr8 . the video and lady is a little lame but worth trying if interested :)
i was doubtful of it actually working but i find myself slipping an amethyst into my pocket every morning regardless! haha
That is so beautiful! This makes me want to collect rocks and crystals.
