Part 1 – Crystals to support conception.

I have been using crystals to support myself since I was 12 years old.  I was first inspired by my best friends Dad, Pete who used crystals for healing and he shared with a me a really powerful story about how he was able to support a new born baby that was born with a drug addiction.  He gave my first quartz crystal, and I have had a fascination and held a belief in their energy ever since.
I have used crystals to help support me through my last pregnancy and have also used their healing properties to support my children so I was absolutely delighted to come across a local crystal expert – Carly Wright.

When I heard that Carly puts together personal crystal prescriptions, I jumped straight into her in-box and asked if she would put one together for me.  Carly’s friendly and approachable nature put me instantly at ease and I probably overshared all that was bothering me in life!! Within a week a beautiful crystal prescription parcel arrived, along with what each crystal is good for and how to use them.  I was absolutely delighted.
So much so I invited her to write a blog about how you may want to consider using crystals, to support you with conception, pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

Carly has gone one step further and offered to write us a series of blog posts because she had so much amazing information to share.  
So without further ado here is Part 1 – Crystals to support conception, written by Carly.  

Crystals. The seemingly new craze of natural healing sweeping the nation. We have all heard of them, some of you may already have them. But do we really know what to do with them? Do we use them to their full potential? Are we really utilising their true healing benefits and using them to help our mind, body & soul?

Over the next few weeks I am going to introduce you to my wonderful world of crystals, share how they helped me and share with you just how you can harness the natural energy to be anything you damn well want to be. To achieve anything you set your mind to and to succeed in all of your dreams. I would say just watch me…but I am going to enjoy watching you 🙂

So the key areas I want to talk about are crystals all around fertility, pregnancy, birth and parenthood. I am going to introduce you to the beautiful crystals and their properties and how to use them in each area of your journeys.

So this week let’s look at how alternative therapies, particularly crystals can help you on your fertility journey. I’ve picked out the best bunch of crystals that suit this stage of your journey and will explain what they represent and how to use them.

First up we have Carnelian â€“ the crystal of creativity, motivation and endurance. Your go to energy boosting crystal. Bright orange in colour, even looking at it fills your soul with sunshine. This crystal is associated with the Sacral Chakra. This sits about 2 inches below your belly button and is the absolute powerhouse for male & female reproductive organs. The Sacral chakra often gets clogged due to old emotions. The best ways to clear and cleanse this chakra and its energy’s is to visualise a ball of bright orange light swirling in this area, visualise it moving old emotions and energy on. This exercise is even more powerful when placing a gorgeous piece of carnelian on the chakra.

Next we have Moonstone â€“ the crystal of new beginnings. Moonstone helps to align our female energy’s to the moon. It helps to harness and instil calming energy. It can bring soothing emotional stability. Moonstone is a must for females, what it does is help balance female cycles, our metabolism and our hormones. Moonstone is associated with the Crown Chakra – your connection to the divine universe. Working with moonstone helps to fully open your crown chakra and strengthens your spiritual connection with the universe. Visualise a glorious white light coming into your crown (the very top of your head) from above and let it envelope your whole body and soul, bathe in the warm white light and let your body totally relax and accept the new beginnings you are embarking on.

Moving onto Rose Quartz â€“ The crystal for unconditional love. Rose quartz helps us to embrace our self-worth and self-love. It helps to stimulate sensuality and is magnificent to help sooth and ease guilt and stress. It helps fill you with mothering love ready for the adventures life is bringing your way. Rose quartz is associated with the heart chakra. The chakra responsible for helping you love and be loved. This chakra often gets blocked due to resentment, loss and regret. Using a piece of rose quartz during meditation or as part of your self-care routine will help you instil those loving feelings into yourself. When used during meditation, imagine wrapping yourself in a beautiful pink bubble of love. When any other thought pops into your head, you need to send it back away in a bubble of pink love. Allow all thoughts, feelings and emotions to be full of love. To soak up the benefits of rose quartz without even knowing is to sleep with a piece next to your bed, or under your pillow. Rose quartz is excellent to have in the bedroom as it reignites the spark between the sheets, and brings you and your partner closer together.

The last crystal I want to talk about this week to complete your fertility set is Red Tigers Eye. This gorgeous rich coloured crystal is an extremely powerful gem, often used to enhance motivation and energy and aids in increasing your sex drive. We all know how day to day life gets on top of us and more often than not we put the self-care of ourselves and our relationship on the back seat. If you are finding this is happening to you, pop a piece if Red Tigers Eye underneath your pillow or mattress to stimulate your libido and increase that sex drive. You need to remember your self-worth and get that fire back in your belly, This crystal is an absolute must to bring healing energy to your soul and to allow you to fully enjoy the act of lovemaking and being worshipped in the bedroom like the goddesses you are!

Next week we will be delving into crystals to use on the next stage of your journey, pregnancy. Which crystals to use in each trimester and how to truly harness the healing powers of these wonderful earth gems.
