About Annie
Working with crystals Annie creates energy vessel cosmic armour jewellery pieces and personalised crystal sets to aid her clients needs. Teaching them how to harness their crystals and bring that magic into their every day lives.
How did you start?
Annie was always picking up pretty pebbles and stones as a child, and that developed into a love of crystals and stones. The first stone she had, and still her favourite, is amethyst. Amethyst is know for its properties to be soothing and calming, this can help with anxiety, which is something she suffered with, and this is why Annie thinks it was her first crystal.
She was always creative and, lucky for us, redundancy ‘forced’ her into creating her business which was originally creating jewellery. Always thinking about the wearer with intent Annie realised that she wanted to understand more about the crystals and how they could support her clients and so she trained to become a crystal healer.
Basics of crystals – for the beginner
Your crystal will choose you if you let it. You should place your intention in the palm of your hand and hover it over the crystal, if you feel a pull then it is telling you that you need it.
To get the most from your crystal you need to use it with intent. Sitting with a crystal, quietly looking at the shape and the colours, can help to clear blocks and give you focus.
Each different stone has a different meaning, and can work slightly differently for the user. Annie suggests starting with a sone such as Clear Quarts which is the master healer and connects all your bodies Shakra’s.
How do you create a collection such as the menopause?
When creating any piece of jewellery, it’s important to find out what the client wants from it. So, in the case of the menopause jewellery, Annie and I thought about the main symptoms. Annie then created a collection of stones that could work together to help support this stage of life.
Some stones are for protection, and they are signified as an amulet, and then there are talisman stones which are for boosting. As a crystal healer, Annie will spend time making sure that the balance is correct. She does this by meditating and listening to which crystals pop up and of course through research. The stones are adaptable and so it’s important to get a clear understanding of how they can work with each person.
Key crystals for perimenopause:
Thinking specifically about perimenopause Annie suggests these three crystals
- MOONSTONE – for all female hormones. It has lunar energy and it is good to keep by you when you sleep
- MALACHITE – a more mature stone and also the midwife stone. This is often used to balance hormones.
- AMETHYST – travellers stone to support your in your journey through perimenopause, also very calming for anxiety which is another key symptom in perimenopause.
Some key do’s and don’ts with crystals
Always clean your stones when you receive them. They will have picked up energy, negative or positive, during their journey to you. Annie suggests the simplest way is to lay them on a bed of salt, and then just throw the salt away. Then to recharge them every month in the same way.
Cleanse your stones every month. Moon bathing is often suggested for stones but it is much more complicated than just putting them out at night, as the different stages of the moon have different effects on the energy. So simple salt cleansing is still the best way to cleanse your stones.
Don’t add them to your drinking water, some contain minerals that leach. If you want to charge your water you need to put them into a separate container, or use them outside the water.
Use them with intent. Think of crystals as your armour, and you can positively charge them and use them with intent. Spend time with your crystals and they will support and help you.
