*I almost always thoroughly cleanse my stones by smudging with white sage or sage.  I use that along with another method that I have personalized to cleanse
for your personal meditation/intention benefits for the Bliss Sticks.  I’m sure you’ve developed your own method as well.  You can cleanse them in running water,
river water by letting the water pass through your hands while holding them, by leaving them overnight in sea salt.  (not all stones should be left in sea salt, if not
sure, running water will do fine in most cases).
*Although this chart is not all conclusive, some stone properties need to be ingested or bathed in by soaking stone for a period of time in water or liquid to use for
healing.
*It is important to cleanse the stone before using them in any ritual because of residual energies from touching them yourself or others.
*Receptive stones are great for grounding, however just as everything has a frequency equivalent, so do your stones and they will absorb the power you give to
them.
*Projective stones are dynamic as they will draw from you into your environment, so be sure what you wish to draw out is what you use them for.

The beauty of these and gemstone collecting can be enhanced dramatically by purchasing a magnifying lamp.  I inspect these stones personally and find some
of the pits and inclusions add character to the stones.  Remember, no two gemstones are alike.  They are as individual as the bearer of them.  "Banded Stones"
are stones that have a white ridge or series of white lines encircling whole or part of the stone, these are extra powerful energy generators.  You may wish to
purchase a "medicine bag" to carry them with you during the day so they do not get chipped or marred from banging against other object you carry taking the
one out that you are going to work with and focusing on that one during your meditation.  

Our Bliss Sticks meditation candles have been studied and considered for their overall properties much like this chart with the mixing of aromatherapy to
enhance meditation and inner guidance.  If there is a particular stone you would like to suggest for a future Bliss Stick meditation candle, please write to us for
consideration.  Although this chart is incomplete in all there is to know about the above stones, I’ve covered a good amount.  Enjoy them as I know you will use
their wisdom therein for the highest good.  If you have any other questions, I’ll do my best to answer them or get the information for you.

To be aligned with your
Purpose, I greatly believe in the alignment of the chakras as a wholesome approach to what is going on inside of you is manifested
outside of you.  By cleansing these areas and keeping our intentions pure, we can greatly change our outcomes.



Thank you

Chakras & Auras: A Crystal Healing Approach by Certified Crystal Healer Ashley Dalke

Chakras are vortices of energy found in the aura, or energy field, of the human body. These energy centers act as satellites to the universe, taking in energy, using it to influence the mind, the body, and the spirit, and then returning it back to the universe. Each chakra rules a specific section of the physical body, specific emotions, and certain aspects of one's spiritual self. There are seven major chakras found along the spine, but there are many other minor chakras located all throughout the physical body.

In crystal healing, the seven chakra system is most commonly used. However, there are many minor chakras that can be used under particular circumstances. In fact, all of these chakras are influenced by the crystal's healing energy during a healing session, but the energy is typically more precisely directed to the body's seven main energy centers.

Please Note: The seven most commonly known chakras have been numbered 1-7. Other minor chakras have been bulleted. This listing appears in order from the base of the spine toward the crown of the head.

- Gaia Gateway Chakra
- Earth Star Chakra
1. Root/Base/Perineum/Muladhara Chakra
- Coccygeal Chakra
2. Sacral/Pubic/Spleenic/Pelvic/Swadhisthana Chakra
- Navel/Sea of Chi'i/Door of Life Chakra
3. Solar Plexus/Diaphragmatic/Power/Manipura Chakra
- Lower Heart/Sacred Heart Chakra
4. Middle Heart/Shoulder Blades/Anahata Chakra
- Higher Heart/Ascending Heart/Thymus Chakra
- Base of Throat/Base of Neck Chakra
5. Throat/Will/Back of Neck/Vishudda Chakra
- Zeal Point Chakra/Mouth of God/Talu/Lalana Chakra
6. Third Eye/3rd Eye/Brow/Ajna Chakra
- Manas Chakra
- Indu Chakra
- Upper Forehead Chakra
7. Crown/Sahasrara Chakra
- Golden Crown Chakra (Gateway Chakra)
- Causal Chakra (Gateway Chakra)
- Soul Star Chakra (Gateway Chakra)
- Stellar Gateway Chakra (Gateway Chakra)

The chakras also correspond to particular auric realms (layers of the energy body).
Please Note: This listing appears in order from the innermost layer toward the outermost layer of the aura:

-Physical Body
-Etheric Body
-Emotional Body
-Mental/Vital Body
-Astral Body
-Etheric Template
-Celestial Body
-Causal/Ketheric/Intuitive Body

An Exercise for Aura Health:

One should strengthen and protect the aura in various everyday life situations. One should especially strengthen the aura if he or she knows that he or she will encounter an individual that will drain his or her energy, as this is extremely detrimental to the auric body. This should also be done if one knows that he or she will have to spend time in a negative energy environment or deal with a situation surrounded by negative energies and emotions.

To protect the aura, one should close off their energy body to others by engaging in the protective posture (feet crossed at the ankles and with thumbs and fingers touching).

To strengthen and energize the aura, one can undertake the nostril breathing technique. In this technique, the breath is used to strengthen the auric field and to balance the mind and the physical body. This technique is performed by alternating one's breaths, breathing in through one nostril and then out of the other.

To begin the technique, hold the nostrils between your thumb and index finger. Place your right thumb and finger over your nostril (without squeezing) and exhale. Then connect your tongue to your palette just behind your front teeth. Next, press your thumb against right nostril to close it and inhale through your left nostril for approximately three seconds. While keeping your right nostril closed with your thumb, press your index finger onto your left nostril. Your nose should now be closed between your thumb and finger. Keep your nostrils pinched shut for approximately 15 seconds. If 15 seconds is too long for you, then reduce the time limit to amount that you feel comfortable with. Now, remove your thumb so as to open your right nostril, but continue holding your left nostril closed with your index finger. Slowly release your breath through your right nostril for approximately three seconds.

Remove your right hand from your nose and place your left hand on your nostrils with your thumb pressing on your left nostril. Inhale through your right nostril for approximately three seconds and press your left index finger onto your right nostril, so as to close it. Hold this breath for approximately 15 seconds. Then, remove your thumb to open your left nostril, but continue to press your right nostril closed with your index finger. Slowly release your breath through your left nostril for approximately three seconds.

Repeat this exercise, while alternating nostrils for approximately three to five repetitions.

To purify the aura, one can perform the cleansing vortex exercise. In this exercise, one visualizes a whirlwind of purifying, healing, white light which surrounds the entire auric body (beginning at the Causal/Ketheric Body). One should then visualize this whirlwind removing all negative energy and transmuting it into positive energy. Then, one should visualize that the vortex departs into the earth and this positive energy is released into the earth for the good of all beings.

Once the aura has been strengthened, protected, and cleared, one is ready to absorb the healing energy of the crystals.
