Stones to Access and Heal Past Lives

One of the more powerful stones for aiding in accessing past lives is Chiastolite. Chiastolite is also known as the "Cross Stone" or as "Andalusite." More accurately, it is a form of Andalusite and has many suggested metaphysical properties. Throughout history it has been used to deflect ill wishing or curses and to dispel negativity. This is a very spiritual stone and can be used for many purposes, such as strengthening memory or lending strength in difficult situations.

One of Chiastolite's main properties is that of creating a bridge for soul transitioning or to help soul's cross over. It is a stone of death and rebirth. It teaches about the immortality of the soul and allows the user to develop new perspectives on old situations. In this way, it aids with changes, problem-solving and the releasing of old habits or destructive habits. Chiastolite, combined with Desert Rose (Selenite), not only breaks down the old habits, but also helps to create healthy new habits and patterns. These two stones also dissolve illusions, calm fears and allow you to face reality and move forward in a positive manner. Feelings of guilt are cleansed as they stabilize the emotions. They also help to clarify messages from across the veil and bring insight.

Like Desert Rose, Chiastolite will allow you to access past lives and astral travel. Some other stones that assist in travel are Petrified Wood, Dendritic Quartz and Phantom Quartz. Working with this Cross Stone can be disorienting or somewhat disconcerting if you are not ready to confront your past lives. One of my friends won't even touch it after experiencing a traumatic past life recall.

I suggest combining Chiastolite with one of the past life healing stones that will allow you to review that life, learn from it, heal it and progress in this life. Selenite, Phantom Quartz, Mangano (Pink Calcite), Wulfenite, Rhodonite, Serpentine (also Infinite), Unakite, Aventurine and Hematite are all past life healing stones that work on different issues. For example, Wulfenite would be for people who were persecuted for religious reasons in past lives, while Mangano would be used for forgiveness and releasing a heart that is trapped in the past allowing for unconditional love in the present.

Desert Rose has many of the same properties of Chiastolite, but works in a slightly softer way. It works especially well when placed in your environment to facilitate harmony and peace (as well as protection from negativity). It is an attractive stone that will blend into your environment when used for gridding purposes. This stone can also aid in changing a negative belief system into a more positive one while at the same time helping one to balance receiving and giving. This rose will enhance love, control emotional outbursts, and allow one to open up to love and trust.

There are other wonderful stones that you can use for meditation or accessing past lives or for crossing the veil like Icelandic Spar, Labradorite, Danburite and Amethyst. These stones can take a little more time and meditation to reveal your past lives but when it comes to healing emotions, sometimes slower is better.

When working with stones that leave you feeling as if you are still floating or disoriented, a ground stone would be good hold or place at your feet. I suggest stones such as Hematite, Obsidian, Onyx, Smoky Quartz, or Black Tourmaline. As always, you are the best judge as to what stones work best with your vibration. Experimentation is always fun but if you ever feel dizzy, nauseous or disoriented, stop immediately, get a drink of water and grab a grounding stone that you know works for you.

Amethyst, Ametrine and Citrine

Amethyst, Ametrine and Citrine are made up of the same mineral components but have had different experiences. Somewhat like siblings. They all grew up in the same family group but their unique trials and tribulations have given them separate skills or powers.

If I could only have a few stones to work with, Amethyst would be at the top of the list. This crystal is a n overall healer – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and energetically. On the physical level, Amethyst can aid with breathing and asthma, skin allergies, addictions, digestion and metabolism, immune system, hearing, eyes, heart, decreases pain and so much more. Mentally Amethyst will enhance and clarify our thoughts and cut through the emotions that are clouding our judgment. Emotionally it can calm our nerves, boost our self confidence, release worry and reduce stress as well as treat insomnia. Spiritually this gemstone increases the Divine Connection, relaxes the mind and increases focus for meditation and clarification of received messages. Energetically this crystal tool instills a steady energy, increases health and decreases stress to aid in balancing all chakras while protecting our energy field. Combined with Sulfur, this purple gemstone will shield against negative energy and ill-wishing.

Ametrine is a stone that contains both Amethyst and Citrine at the same time. It has the properties of both stones and is extremely helpful in times of transformation and drastic change. This stone balances the male and female energies (yin/yang). It enhances compatibility and the acceptance of others as well as self. Ametrine stimulates creativity and promotes an optimistic outlook. If you are moving into a new place, put Ametrine by the front door for the first month in your new residence. It will allow you to feel more at home more quickly. This stone is a great one for going through puberty as it balances hormones and emotions while keeping the body from developing too quickly and causing ‘growing pains.’

Citrine is Amethyst that has been radiated either naturally or in a lab. This sibling has been through the most experiences and traumas. It is a purifier, cleanser, balancer and regenerator of all the organs and main systems. It instills a sense of wellness, joy, self-esteem and abundance. It allows one to overcome fears and depression. Citrine combats exhaustion, chemical toxins, infections and aids in the recovery from chemotherapy and radiation. This invigorating yellow stone works especially well on thyroid/thymus, spleen, pancreas, blood, kidneys and bladder. Citrine is a stone of manifestation and turning dreams into reality by focusing your energy, hard work and desire.
