Some peices are like wands, wide, slender and transparent. Others are quite
opaque. Celestite is found around Lake Erie, California, Mexico. A nodule
form is found in India and Madagascar. This mineral is used in the manufacture
of caustic soda, special glasses and for the colour red in flares and fireworks.
Healing Properties:
Celestite is a subtle expander of consciousness. It provides
the energy to co-create with celestial realms. Celestite provides openness
and expansion of one's consciousnesss, lifting the boundaries of awareness
to greater expansion, giving one the ability to articluate messages from
the higher realms.The result will be more spontaneous understanding of
higher spiritual aspirations. Celestite acts as a companion in endevours
of spiritual expansion. It is a bringer of peace and serentity to mental
activity. It facilitates the opening of chakras between the Throat and
the Crown. Celestite's blue ray stabilizes the opening and functioning
of the Third Eye. This crystal helps develop and highten telepathic abilities.
Despite the appearance of delicacy, Celestite provides
grounding and rational assessment of lofty visions. It lets you speak authentically
about spiritual matters.Celestite encourages you to maintain a positive
attitude by reducing the tendency of self-destruction, promotting self-love
in dark corners of one's being. Celestite is said to be good to help those
who fear heights (air travel, mountain hiking) and to those with digestive
disorders.
Selecting Celestite for Healing **
New Section**
As Celestite often comes in nodules or geodes, try getting
a "cave" of Celestite. That is, a bowl-shaped specimen where the
colour is strongly blue and the termination points are well formed and
not broken. The bowl-shape captures energy, runs it into the crystal and
purifies the energy before sending it back to the user. For small peices,
tape them onto a larger clear quartz crystal and aim the crystal into the
4, 5, 6, or 7th chakras. Smaller peices can be taped directly to
the 3rd Eye (see below). If you are fortunate to have a completely spherical
or egg-shaped Celestite, you will be in for an amazing journey of consciousness
and ascension.
Suggested Uses for Healing:
As Celestite is a very subtle energy crystal, using this
crystal for several weeks or months is not unexpected. Results may vary,
of course. For physical ailments or mental conditioning, try using a gem
elixir (available from Light Mountain, Toronto, Canada). Gem elixirs usually
provide a reliable, stable dosage of vibrational crystal energy. For fortifying
telepathic and celestial attunement, tape a small transparent piece of
Celestite at your Third Eye with surgical tape for use every night while
sleeping. Wear a larger piece in a pouch between your Heart and Throat
Chakra for day-time attuning. As Celestite is very brittle, it is not often
used in jewelry pieces. To increase the benefits, obtain a large nodule,
about 4" or larger in diameter and sleep with it next to your head or near
your Crown Chakra. The experience of Celestite will be quite intensified
and is cummulative over a period of time. The only trick to working
with this crystal is the amount of exposure you get, sort of like building
up a good tan. It takes time.
