Crystal Jewelry for Your Loved Ones

All gifts come from the heart but Crystal jewelry is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving! All crystals have metaphysical properties that can be used for healing.

Healing Jewelry

Crystals have been used for their magical and healing properties since mankind's beginning.  Each type of crystal/gemstone is formed by a specific group of atoms and each carries their ownvibrational frequencies (as does everyone and everything in the known universe).  Crystals increase the frequency of light while affecting its movement of photons, allowing them to evolve accordingly with environmental changes and our energy systems. Wearing crystal healing jewelry helps us to focus, transfer, and store this energy which can be received through our auras and chakra systems.  

When selecting your healing crystals or stones, it is important totrust yourself and intuition.  You may be drawn to a particular piece and aren't exactly sure why, although your unique subtle body knows what it needs, oftentimes before you areconsciously aware.

Crystal Healing with Gemstone Jewelry

When people think of using stones and crystals for healing, most likely they are picturing tumbled stones,crystal points, or shaped and polished stones such asgemstone wands. But, did you know that jewelry containing stones (precious or semi-precious) can also be used in crystal healing? Well, it sure can!

Wearing stone and crystal jewelry is an easy, convenient, and attractive way to carry healing stones with you all the time and everywhere you go. The jewelry can be of any type, style or design. For example, it can be a crystal wrapped in wire and strung on a chain; stone beads strung together as a necklace or bracelet; even faceted gemstone jewelry can be used for crystal healing! Stones that are set in gold or silver work especially well since these metals are good conductors of energy.

The stone does not need to be of any particular size and it does not need to be worn on or near any particular area of the body, regardless of what it is being used for. For example, it is often recommended that stones used to heal conditions of the heart (physical or emotional) be worn over the heart, but this is not necessary because one's physical body is surrounded by an etheric body (an energy field which houses the chakras) that directs the stone's healing energies to the appropriate area. Therefore, any form of jewelry can be used, including:

pendants
necklaces
bracelets
rings
earrings
and more.

Jewelry pieces containing multiple kinds of stones generally do not work for healing as their different energies usually cancel each other out, and so most jewelry suitable for healing contain only one kind of stone. Jewelry pieces with multiple stones can be used for healing as long as the stones are all the same kind, for example: a ring with several rubies or a bracelet of amethyst beads.

However, jewelry with two different kinds of stones will work if one of the stones is transparent and colorless, such as clear quartz or diamond. In this instance, the clear stone will serve to amplify the healing effects of the other stone.

Sometimes, jewelry containing multiple varieties of stone (usually only two or three) might work for healing if the stones' energies harmonize well with each other (ie. they have very similar healing properties). Usually, however, different stones are put in the same piece of jewelry because they look good together, not because their energies harmonize.

Several different stones and crystals can be worn for healing at the same time as long as they are in separate jewelry pieces that do not touch each other. To use your jewelry for healing, you would do the same with it as you would with any other healing stone (ie. cleanse it, charge it, program it, etc.). Smudging is the best method for cleansing the energy of your jewelry as other methods may damage it. You should cleanse and recharge your jewelry after each use, or, if it is worn regularly, it should be done daily.

All of my listings will have a description of each stone and it's properties!

How to Keep Copper Rings Clean and Shiny

Why You Need to Clean Copper

Copper will naturally tarnish over time, due to its exposure to the air and the sweat on your skin. Because of this, some copper jewellery is sold with a coating to prevent tarnishing.

Instructions

Make a solution out of warm water, a few drops of lemon or lime juice, and a teaspoon of salt. Mix it thoroughly.

Dip the tarnished copper jewelry into this solution. Leave it there for a couple of minutes.

Remove the jewelry and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if some tarnish still shows.

Use ketchup and a soft toothbrush to remove tarnish on a piece that contains soft or delicate gemstones. The ketchup is not safe on the stones, but using ketchup and a toothbrush will give you more control over the cleaning process. Only clean the copper and avoid touching the gemstones with the ketchup.

Use a jewelry polishing cloth to finish cleaning the copper jewelry and to clean around gemstones.

You can also use a polishing cloth to keep the luster bright on your piece between cleanings.

How to use My Effectiveness Habits App

My Effectiveness Habits App Rocks! Find on Google Play.

Dealing with Adult ADHD is tough within itself so I'm always looking for new apps and coping mechanisms to ensure that I am efficient every single day. I'm always on top of my to day routines.

I am in the process of trying it out so I'll update this post with more information once I have tried it for about a week or so but here is the description of the app from the developer  with instructions on how to use it should you be interested in downloading.

Please, find below some instructions for using the app. The general concept is as follows:

1. Write what is your Mission in life. Your mission is a general guideline to how you will live your life, is what you see as the meaning of life for you. It is a constitution, a foundation that will govern your actions and goals. Writing your personal mission may be not a one-time action, you will need time to write it, re-write it, re-think it. You may return to it time to time.

You can write your Mission on the My Mission page of the application.

2. Write down what concerns you have and which ones you can influence - visualise them in the circles. This will help you identify what you should concentrate on - actions you have influence on. Proactive, effective people increase their circle of influence.

Use My Influence page for defining your influences. This page helps you visualize your worries, and concentrate on what you can change, what you can influence, not what you don't have control over.

3. On the My Roles page define your roles. This helps you look on your life from different points. You can have different roles at the same time, the role may change depending on your priorities during the week. Example: at the university you are a Student, at home you are a Husband/Wife or a Son/Daughter.

To better visualize your role, attach an Image/Picture from Camera or from Gallery - visual information is better perceived by brain. To do so: Open Role -> Long-click on human icon in the top-left corner -> Choose source of image/picture

4. Set the goals you want to reach for each role. You can set long-term or short-term goals. Open a role, then add goals and see the goals added.

When doing something, almost anything, the so-called classic Todos are not just actions in themselves. You do them with some purpose in mind. You want to get a result from your "do-s". This is what goals are. And if you think of that result before starting, it will help you better understand the steps you need to take to get to that result. It can help you define what exactly you want as a result. And, even can help you understand that maybe you don't need that at all :)

5. Define concrete steps - actions. You can have a single step actions, or you can define complex, multi-level project, or simple checklists.

An action is a step in achieving your goal. Often called a todo, a task - it is something you have to get done to reach the goals. We've intentionally used the word action and not a todo or a task, because action is, after all, an action. It is a proactive word. It doesn't have an obligatory nature like "todo" and "task".

Actions in the habits can be of 3 type:
+ Single action - a one-step, atomic action
+ Project - a composite action, which can contain in itself all types of actions
+ Checklist - a list of checkable items.

6. Proritize your actions using 2x2 matrix (a.k.a. Eisenhower matrix) on the First Things First page.
Square 1 contains Urgent and Important actions - these are really urgent, burning, important things to do. Usually, they represent critical situations. You should not have much of these.
Square 2 contains Important, but Not Urgent actions - something you should concentrate on. This is something Important to you. Planned, well-thought about actions come here.
Square 3 contains Urgent, but Not Important actions - actions here are usually irritators - even if they seem urgent, since they're not important
Square 4 contains Not Urgent, Not Important actions

7. Assign tasks to week days (use weekly planning). Plan your actions ahead. Review regularly, but not too regularly.

For the matrix, your main work should go into Square 2 - you're more productive if you have your Important actions planned and under control. Remember: to be more productive, you have to do what is IMPORTANT, which might not be easy or pleasant, rather than urgent things.

Some more information can be found at our blog: http://andtek.blogspot.com.
Also, you can write us directly at ksasdk@gmail.com. If you have just any issue, feedback or a simple thought about the application that you want to share with us, we are very happy to get that.
