Balance; We’ve talked about it before, but as I’ve contemplated what today’s topic should be, I keep being shown by Spirit that there is still much need for balance in our lives. Today we will learn about bringing balance and harmony into our lives through the use of a variety of crystals. Some of these crystals are known to balance the masculine and feminine within us, while others are said to bring about a general sense of harmony.

Tourmalinated Quartz – brings the properties of quartz and tourmaline and is often seen as a symbol of unity. This stone is great at harmonizing opposite elements, such as helping shift negative thoughts and energies into positive ones and can help to bring balance to yin and yang energies. Tourmalinated Quartz can also aid in spiritual discovery while at the same time helping to stay grounded.

Ametrine – is a combination of amethyst and citrine and is helpful in connecting the spiritual and physical realms. Ametrine unites masculine and feminine energies, balances and soothes emotions, relieves depression and promotes inner peace and tranquility.

Rhodonite – is an emotional balancer and has the ability to show both sides of an issue, thus helping to balance yin and yang energies. Rhodonite also promotes forgiveness while helping to build confidence and alleviate confusion.

Picture Jasper – instills a sense of proportion and harmony. This stone offers comfort, alleviates fear and allows one to see the joy in simple things. Picture Jasper brings stability and balance, helps stimulate creative visualization and the release of emotions that no longer serve us.

Watermelon Tourmaline – helps to balance male and female energies. Watermelon Tourmaline also helps balance left and right hemispheres of the brain and can help to bring about creativity along with practicality. This stone is also good for calming overactive emotions.

Shiva Lingam – represents harmony and balance. It helps with facilitating the union of opposites, making it a great stone to strengthen and balance the whole body and adjust energies to balance masculine and feminine.

I encourage you to add one or more of these stones to your collection and experience for yourself the benefits they offer. Any of the crystals mentioned above can be worn as jewelry, held during meditation, carried in a pocket or placed nearby. As with any time we talk about crystals and their healing properties, it is important to note that crystal healing is not meant to take the place of treatment by a licensed healthcare provider, but rather to serve as a complementary aid in your personal healing journey.
