TOOLKIT: Selenite (Crystals)

Selenite lamp

I discovered Selenite about two years ago during one of my bi-monthly shifts at Smile Herb Shop. The description included in the crystal basket said that Selenite was a good for communication with angels and spirit guides. My initial purchase was a small wand and tea light holder, which I light when I sit at my personal altar. My most recent purchase, a Selenite lamp (pictured left) sits on what has become my writing desk and is kept on at all times to infuse my space with positive energy and focus.

The energy that emits from my Selenite is a peaceful one that buzzes at my crown chakra. I find it is useful to symbolically establish audience with my spirit guides and find that the light glow is reminiscent of the heavenly body for which it is named - the moon. Upon more discovery, I have since learned the following about this newest addition to my toolkit.

Healing Properties of Selenite
Selenite has a direct effect on the emotional body. However, unlike stones that soothe and calm the emotions, Selenite activates the aspect of our nature connected to our true spiritual feeling and path. These crystals are particularly effective in stabilizing the emotional body and bringing erratic emotions under calm control. Selenite is water soluible and will dissolve if left in liquid. This important characteristic is also a great metaphor of the inherent power of the crystal to melt away exaggerated emotions with the stabilizing light force of your “true nature and feeling”.

Selenite has a variety of specific transformational qualities:

• Brings the fifth dimensional light into third dimensional matter.
• Quickly opens balances and activates any chakra and is especially good with the third eye, crown chakra, and the soul star chakra above the head. It’s the most powerful clearing stone for the upper chakras.
• Cleanses the aura.
• Clears and energize all the glands of the body.
• Clears all blockages in the energy field.
• Cuts cords of dysfunctional energy from the etheric body.
• Ideal for purification and energetic cleansing, which makes it a perfect tool for healers.
• Directs high frequency energy into the body, stimulating spiritual, physical and emotional healing.
• Opens the inner self to the spiritual world.
• Magnifies the energy of what ever is placed on it many times over (including other crystals).
• Adds positive intentions into the energy body.
• Elevates the frequency of physical matter and lowers the frequency of light, enabling a new substance to bring spirit into matter.
• Acts as a tool for enlightenment as it heralds the link between spirit and matter.

The use of Selenite has become a necessary part of my daily ritual. Even on those days when I have not planned well and my daily practice is obscured by earth-plane deadlines, I find that if all I can accomplish in that harried moment is to light a candle in my Selenite holder, it serves as an acknowledgement to my Guides and a mea culpla to them for my short visit. It is a beautiful and lightweight crystal whose expansive energies make for a most useful  addition to my toolkit.
