Crystal of the Day

Today ended up being two crystals: Blue Kyanite and a light blue Calcite. They are basically the only two rough cut stones in my entire bowl, everything else is tumbled stones, except for the 4 agate slices in there. These two basically stuck together when grabbing for a crystal this morning.

I love using both of these stones. They both seem to have a calming effect on me. The calcite has always helped me retain information better when I need to learn it the best, which reminds me, I need to start carrying my calcite with me during the day every day, but especially when I am doing my studying.

As for what the kyanite does for me, it's one of those that is hard to put into words. But it is also a stone that I really know when I need to be carrying it with me. And today was one of those days. I just need it on me. I love how crystals seem to have a mind of their own too and they know when you need them before you do.

Crystals had become my best friend a long time ago, then my life got turned upside down and they got pushed to the side. I still had them, just not out everyday, and definitely not even using them at all. Then a few weeks ago, I had a calling to start using them again regularly. I made myself a medicine pouch that I carry with me all day long on my person, that includes some stones that I know I need just for that day or that I need to carry long term. Some of these stones will be in the bag for quite a while. I'll just know when I'm done with them and they can go back into my collection of stones. But I am so happy that I finally got back into the crystals again. It has given me a perspective on life that I thought I had lost when my life got turned upside down several months ago.
