Beginner's Healing Crystal Set and Bracelet




Have you wanted to get started down the path of crystal healing, but don’t know where to start or what to purchase, I suggest these three stones; Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Hematite.

Amethyst helps balance and opens you up to spiritual light. It introduces one's guides and angels, gives awareness of self as part of a universal plan, aids in mediation; helps insomnia, headaches, alcohol recovery, increases sense of responsibility, self-worth, spiritual peace, eases stress.

Rose Quartz helps you to foster acceptance, inner peace, forgiveness, and self-forgiveness, heals heartache and loneliness, induces emotional release and clearing, eases fear, soothes grief, promotes heart healing through positive self-love, self-esteem, self-image, body image.

Hematite fosters peace and nonaggression, stops bleeding and hemorrhaging, prevents excessive bleeding in childbirth, heals karmic anger and rage, heals those who where warriors in past lives and in this life.

When I had walked into a new age shop years ago, I was angry and confused about some situations at work, and as I was explaining this to the lady who owned the shop, she said “Oh, you need to have the 3 most important healing stones, to which she promptly gathered a tumbled amethyst, rose quartz and hematite." I'll never forget it, right then and there was the beginning of my healing gemstone journey. After wearing them in my pocket everyday, subtle changes began to happen, I softened, I came to some realizations about the situation at work, and finally the situation was gone altogether. I got rid of the “Why Me Syndrome” and was able to replace it with understanding and forgiveness, which in turn, dissolved the negative situation. Did it happen overnight? No. But looking back I can see that the healing gemstones in their own gentle way have helped me through that situation. I also suggest purchasing what I refer to as my "bible" for beginners and even the more experienced crystal healers, "Healing with Gemstones and Crystals" by Diane Stein (you can purchase below).

Start down your healing gemstone path by purchasing your very own beginners healing crystal set below that contains the three basic gemstones that everyone should have. This three stone healing set comes in heart shapes which radiate love, and are put together in a gauze bag for your convenience to carry with you, or to put under your pillow for a more restful nights sleep and healing. A more detailed list of the healing properties of these stones will be included. These healing stones will be personally cleansed and programmed by me for your own healing.
