I love all the bohemian fashion, the dresses and the patterns but my favourite is the jewellery. Here in town there is a cute little French shop which sells all kinds of amazing hand made bohemian jewellery. You can find some real French jewels here.
I've always been interested in different kinds of gemstones and healing and energy that they give.
I use them in diferent times in my life, to cope with emotions, illness or stress.
For example
Moonstone - it is said if you give your lover a moonstone necklace when
the moon is full you will always have passion with each other. Moonstone
is a very personal stone. It is a reflection of the person who owns it.
It does not add or detract, only shows how it is. This is why the
moonstone is said to perceive that which "is".
Healing properties unique to moonstone are its lunar energy and it talent to balance
emotional upsets. Moonstone has a gentle energy (sometimes referred to
as feminine or mothering energy) that helps to ease stresses and
feelings of anxiousness. It can be used to enhance intuition. Moonstone
is a good crystal tool for anyone who wishes to reflect on past
circumstances to learn life lessons from.
Rose Quartz has a gentle energy. It is a heart healer of physical heart ailments as well as emotional heartbreaks. Rose quartz is a timely gift to offer someone who desires to learn self-love. You couldn't ask for a more loving teacher.
Jade teaches acceptance. Carries serene and calming energy. It helps a person become less critical of self and others.
Lapis Lazuli has an Egyptian energy. Lapis is
a stone that has been said to unlock mysteries as it helps one move
through confusion and emotional blocks and dig through fog/muck to the
root of problematic issues.
Amethyst is highly spiritual/healing stone and is associated with The Christ Consciousness and helps one tune into ahigher awareness of knowing.
Turquoise stone is an advisor of the highest order, little wonder that it was a revered as a spiritual stone by Native
Americans.This stone can be used to help one learn spiritual lessons through meditation and/or dream visions.
Saphire in Hebrew lore, King Solomon and Abraham both wore talismans of
Sapphire, and the Law given to Moses on the Mount was said to be
engraved on tablets of Sapphire. The Greeks wore it for wisdom at Delphi
when seeking answers from the Oracle at Apollo’s Shrine. Buddhists
believed it brought devotion and spiritual enlightenment, and the Hindus
considered Sapphire as one of the “great gems” used in offerings in the
temples for worship and to align astrological influences. In
Christianity it was used in ecclesiastical rings, and was cherished by
kings and nobility for its powers of protection and insight.
[Kunz, 104, 241][Mella, 103][Eason, 247][Fernie, 96, 102-103]
As a talisman, Sapphire was thought to preserve
chastity, discover fraud and treachery, protect its wearer from poison,
plague, fever and skin diseases, and had great power in resisting black
magic and ill-wishing. It healed ailments of the eyes, increased
concentration, and would lose luster if worn by an intemperate or
impious person. [www.sacred-texts.com]
Today Sapphire is still a Stone of Wisdom, a royal
stone of learning, mental acuity and psychic activation, a seeker after
spiritual truth. Its pure Blue Ray brings order and healing to the mind,
lending strength and focus, and an ability to see beneath surface
appearances to underlying truths and to utilize that knowledge. It
stimulates the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, allowing one to access
deeper levels of consciousness in order to gain a fuller understanding
of self. Associated with the planet Saturn, Blue Sapphire embraces
order, structure, and self-discipline, and is ideal for accomplishing
goals and manifesting ideas into form. Sapphire’s power to transmute
negative thoughts and energy also makes it highly effective for earth
and chakra healing.
Hematite is a grounding stone. This silver-gray metallic gemstone is often used as a
grounding tool to aid those who tend to avoid worldly tasks/events by
out-of-body flight.
I will slip one in my pocket if I know I'm going to be placed in a
trying situation such as a job interview, a funeral, or courtroom
dealings. Hematite helps me be comfortable in my body when I'd rather
escape.
Kyanite is best worn near the throat chakra. This blue crystal helps facilitate channeling and will open
communications centers to enable contact with your guides and angels.
Kyanite is probably best known for its balancing properties that align the chakras. There is no need to cleanse this stone, it clears itself automatically of negative energies.
Citrine is a wonderful yellow colored stone to carry with you. It helps to manifest your goals. This energizing crystal also keeps one cheerful because it is filled
with empowering solar energy. It attracts abundance and personal power.
Energetic-wise, it is comparable to the yellow topaz.
