Selenite is named after the Greek Goddess of the moon, Selene. This delicate, soft and serene crystal is one of "the" crystals to have around you to create peace, serenity and calm. Some crystals can disturb your sleep, but you can put this gem on your bedside table. Because Selenite is restful and soothing, it can be used for helping with insomnia. Try it out and see. Use it for clearing your mind and emotions, and to release stress. It does wonders for relaxation and meditation.
Selenite is a form of gypsum which means "liquid light". It can be white, peachy brown rose as “Desert Rose Selenite”, or orange and blue-grey. It is perfect for a baby's room or anywhere in the house you'd like to bring tranquility and stillness. I like the white and softer muted colors for nurseries and kid’s rooms. Feng Shui, “the ancient art of placement”, calls for using it in living rooms, bedrooms and the spiritual center of the house, the front left corner of your home. The one pictured above comes from my favorite crystal shop Kona Rock & Mineral on the Big where I used to live. I gave intuitive readings there and often recommended selenite to help with meditation and for clearing energy. I love a sweet selenite wand on my oracle card decks to keep them clean and clear in between readings.

Crystals need to be cleared from time to time,
some more than others. Obsidian never has to be cleared. It automatically
clears itself. Selenite, like kyanite and lepidolite cannot be put into
water. Cleansing your crystals under moonlight can be a beautiful full or new
moon ritual. Clear them every other month, or every season. The difference in
how they feel will be amazing, very much like when you wash your favorite
sweater or jeans. They feel brand new again.
I
also recommend clearing and washing your daily jewelry and pieces you wear
often. Psychometry, the ability to read inanimate objects works off this principal.
Energy and vibration can be read off an object that belongs to someone, or a
deceased loved one. A person’s energetic blueprint or vibration is carried in
the crystals and objects that belong to them.
I
am often asked if crystals really do anything for us. I have done performances
and workshops in crystal shops and it can be really hard to stay grounded. A
lot of them together make a room hum and vibrate. How do you feel when you
are out in nature? How does sitting by a beautiful stream filled with smooth
pebbles and stones sound? Heavenly right? We are connected to nature and all of
its elements. Its elements exist inside of us. The air is our breath. Our blood
is water. Fire is the heat inside us needed for digestion and
assimilation. Spirit is space in and around us. The Earth element is
our bones and muscles. Crystals are of the earth.
We
are taken away by the ocean's waves because we are 70% water. Looking up into
the night sky's stars take us to dreamy otherworldly places, yet we are made of
those same stars. Lush green forests connect us to the earth element. So
how can we not be touched by crystals? Make Selenite your go-to crystal for
rooms that need softening and quiet. Have one in your car, or at your work desk.
I have a big chunk of rose quartz, “the love crystal” in my car, another soft
and blissful stone. Combine these together for full-on peace, love and
serenity.
