meditating with crystals

I must say that I'm finding crystals an amazingly interesting area.

The cystals are wonderful. It's a whole 'new world' for me! A very holistic and calming one - much needed.

I like to choose a crystal that 'jumps out at me' (not literally!) and just lie quietly holding it. Each type of crystal gives off different energies. I'm very much into the hemetite crystal at the moment, which is very grounding.

The crystals have also helped me to meditate a little better (or try to lol). I'm still absolutely rubbish at meditating - give me 10 seconds and that's it, my mind is rushing away with thoughts. But I have found that it helps if I concentrate on the crystal in my hand and the feeling it gives off. That seems to calm my thoughts somewhat.

What am I talking about? I'm still terrible at meditating! lol

But it's all about practice right?

I've now got some Iolite out (a beautiful dusky purple/blue crystal that has greyish bits in it) and will be meditating (or trying!) with that later.

Wish me luck!
