CRYSTAL HEALING Blue Crystals

Blue is the color of ice that reflects the slowly lightening winter sky as the deep violets depart and the sun climbs higher every day.

As the winter slowly gives way to the budding spring, and life quickens, ready to burst forth, blue marks the beginning of life and emotion.

Blue is the color of the true natural birthstones of those born as the world awaits the vernal equinox and spring (February 19–March 19). This is a time when new life is about to burst forth, a time of faith and trust.

Blue crystals are the crystals of trust. When we seek to become more sincere, act more responsibly, or become more trustworthy or faithful, these crystals give us the focus we require.

Trust is a complex need. We seek to trust others, and we seek to be trustworthy. Most of our interactions with others depend on mutual trust.

Blue crystals are excellent aids in ensuring that we are acting out our lives as worthy of the trust of our friends, acquaintances, and community.  Blue crystals are also used for the spiritual cleansing of spaces

The essences of blue crystals are excellent for sprays and other elements of spiritual cleansing regiments.

Blue crystals are also used for maintaining belief, being faithful, establishing order in one’s life, dealing with betrayal, and overcoming insecurity.

In lighter shades, blue crystals are tempered with subtlety. The color of shallow pools of water reflecting the sky, light blue crystals help us reflect, ponder, question, and relax in our acceptance of the life we have.

Use light blue crystals when you need to develop patience, reconcile differences, or seek forgiveness. They are also used for strength to face reality,

The light blue rays are excellent for recovery efforts from addictions or destructive behavior patterns. They aid in curbing tempers and helping us become mellower and milder. Their rays are potent, and they can help us to change our lives to become more dependable and cheerful. They help deal with grief, letting go of the past, and curing guilt.

The darker shades of blue are for enhancing respect and compassion in ourselves. Dark blue crystals teach us humanity, discretion, and honor.

Dark blue crystals help us act more charitably, and focus our efforts on service to others. They teach us grace, sensitivity to the needs of others, and tenderness in our dealings.

Several blue crystals can be effective in your healing regimens. Here are just a few of them including Azurite, Blue Fluorite, Blue Chalcedony, Lapis Lazuli, and Sapphire.

Azurite

No crystal embodies the pure Blue Ray quite like Azurite.

Azurite tempers the mind; it releases stress and confusion and alleviates worry, indecision, and thoughts that linger in the back of the consciousness.

To restore balance and control over emotions and reactions, simply hold the crystal and ask to have the troublesome thoughts evaporate. It is a rubbing stone that prefers to be touched to release its energies, so when wearing or carrying Azurite, remember to rub it often.

Azurite is a stone for connecting with sacred powers through religious music, such as Gregorian or Buddhist chants, choral music, and hymns; also for healing with sound, especially using the drums, didgeridoo, pipes, or voice.

Azurite lends the courage to overcome negative patterns of behavior stemming from insecurity and fear. It helps those who are deceptive or lie habitually to be more clear and truthful to themselves and others. It calms those who talk too much out of nervousness and encourages those who hold back from self-expression to verbalize their thoughts and feelings.

Blue Fluorite

Fluorite is one of the most collectible and highly sought-after crystals in the world, loved by mineralogists and metaphysical healers alike. Its remarkable cubes are at times, almost too perfect to believe, emerging like magic treasure in matrix rock, or tightly stacked cube on cube like a futuristic city in miniature.

It carries a calm, stable frequency that brings order to chaos, and scattered and discordant energies into cohesion and harmony.

Blue Fluorite opens channels of communication, both in this reality and between this plane and other worlds. It is wonderful for those having a hard time accepting the here and now to reach out to others.

Wear or carry Blue Fluorite to soften dealings with those who are brutally honest, and in the workplace to communicate logical thoughts that move actions forward when people argue in circles.

Use Fluorite to clear mental fog, confusion, or conflicting ideas, or to quiet worried thoughts and anxiety. It is ideal for overcoming any form of disorganization and is perfect for increasing thought and concentration.

Blue Chalcedony

Blue Chalcedony is a demure crystal, subtle and mystic, cool and serene, ethereal yet solid. It has an inviting, soft blue translucence, and an almost imperceptible movement within the stone that invokes a stillness of silent reverence. It's calming and speaks of spirit and trust.

Blue Chalcedony is an excellent crystal for public speakers and those who speak for a living. Lawyers and political speakers might benefit from touching this stone to the tip of their tongues while listening to their opponents to enhance their counterarguments.

Actors might rub it against their lips and throat, while singers may drink a glass of water in which Chalcedony has soaked for an hour before going on stage. Wearing this crystal around the neck helps overcome stage fright and the fear of public speaking.

As a stone of peace and peace-making, Blue Chalcedony encourages stillness and calm in the home for those at odds with one another, vying for their place in the pecking order. It is also beneficial for daily journeys to work, or stressful trips involving children.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought-after stones in use since man's history began. Its deep, celestial blue remains the symbol of royalty and honor, gods, and power, spirit, and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth.

Lapis Lazuli is a crystal of truth in all aspects. It reveals the inner truth and promotes self-awareness and the acceptance of that knowledge. It provides for the relief of things that may have been suppressed and allows for them to the surface, helping to diminish disease or repressed anger, and allows for self-expression without holding back or compromising.

Lapis encourages dignity in friendship and social ability. It encourages the qualities of honesty, compassion, and uprightness when dealing with others. It provides an awareness of one's motivations and beliefs and gives a clearer perspective of one's whole life. It reveals not only one's limitations but the growth opportunities and to utilize one's gifts and abilities.

Sapphire

The magnificent and holy Sapphire, in all its celestial hues, is a stone of wisdom and royalty, of prophecy and Divine favor. It is forever associated with sacred things and considered the gem of gems, a jewel steeped in the history and lore of nearly every religion.

To the ancient and medieval world, the Sapphire of heavenly blue signified the height of celestial hope and faith and was believed to bring protection, good fortune, and spiritual insight. It was a symbol of power and strength, but also of kindness and wise judgment.

Today Sapphire is still a Stone of Wisdom, a royal stone of learning, mental acuity, and psychic activation, a seeker after spiritual truth. Its pure Blue Ray brings order and healing to the mind, lending strength and focus, and an ability to see beneath surface appearances to underlying truths and to utilize that knowledge.

It stimulates the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, allowing one to access deeper levels of consciousness to gain a fuller understanding of self. Associated with the planet Saturn, Blue Sapphire embraces order, structure, and self-discipline, and is ideal for accomplishing goals and manifesting ideas into form. Sapphire’s power to transmute negative thoughts and energy also makes it highly effective for earth and chakra healing.
