Crystals for kids, what could be better?! What child isn't curious about shiny, sparkly things? What child isn't curious about shiny, sparkly things? Children are facing challenges that we as adults never could imagine in our childhood. Isolation from friends and family, limited educational and social opportunities, and all but non-existent sports outlets are the reality of a child's world now. This has created a state of fear and anxiety. Children may develop a fear of

losing family members or becoming ill themselves. They may become more clingy and less likely to develop independent skills. These feelings may manifest as nightmares, sleeplessness, lack of appetite, separation anxiety, and behavioral changes. Older children are concerned about the cancellation of academic and athletic programs that will impact college choices and financial aid possibilities. Depression, anxiety, stress, stress, stress.

As a teacher in public schools for over 30 years, I have seen the impact that anxiety and stress have on children in social and learning settings. I have worked with children of all ages using a wide variety of strategies and best practices to help them. Breathing, stress balls, break time, dance it out, community share, imagine your favorite place, name animals alphabetically, sing, extra playtime, the list goes on. Everyone has different triggers and certain techniques will work best for certain people. Add crystals to the top of this list.

The first thing crystals offer a child is a visual and tactile experience. Children love to explore. The variety of shapes, colors, textures, and sizes alone is captivating for kids (adults too for that matter). This interaction immediately begins overriding stress, anxiety, and depression by simply redirecting a child's attention. Couple that with the metaphysical properties of particular crystals or crystal combinations and we move to a higher level of relief. Another bonus is that Earth science curriculum includes fundamentals of mineralogy, paleontology, geology, oceanography- all related to crystals.

For example, an amethyst cluster offers a beautiful color that will shimmer in different ways as it is turned in the light. It has an interesting surface to explore. Emotionally and mentally amethyst promotes calm and balance. Known as the "sobriety stone", it helps with breaking addictive behavior patterns. Metaphysically, amethyst is a third eye stone. It promotes higher-level thinking, getting in touch with one's own spirituality, and helps overcome negative thoughts. Is a child aware of all these benefits? Do they need to be? I like spinach, it appeals to me. I put it in salads and omelets. I can't rattle off its organic content but I still get the health benefits it provides. The same holds true for crystals. You can provide your child with a crystal that you have sought for her or his specific needs. Crystal combinations can be created for your child. Getting a drawstring bag with fascinating crystals is always exciting! Conversely, take your child to a store (or just put some crystals on a table) and watch. They are instinctively drawn to what best suits them. You know your child. I have many clients that consult me on this and we create a crystal pack best-suited to their child's personal needs. All of these approaches are great. Find what works for you!

Here are some easy ways to begin incorporating crystals into your child's life.

It is so easy to wear a bracelet, necklace, earrings, or pendant. Participate in a workshop to make your own jewelry. Not only will you have the benefits of the crystals, but it also offers a creative outlet and a sense of pride wearing a personal creation. It might even open the door to a new hobby!

Kids can grid! They do not have to know all the reasons for what they are doing OR they can learn about the properties of crystals and be more mindful in their choices. Kids will instinctively and intuitively create grids that serve them regardless of their conscious knowledge of such.

Give kids a bunch of crystals and let them go! By encouraging them to create designs they will benefit from the interaction with the crystals and may create a grid that is left in place for a bit of time. You may be very surprised at where their intuition leads them!

You can create a crystal grid for your child. If you are not familiar with this consult a crystal practitioner and have one custom created.

By simply playing with them, children receive benefits. They are open to creative processes with no restrictions. It is so interesting to see where this leads them. What criteria are they using to sort? What do they choose as a focal point in a design/grid? They will sort, swap, stack, arrange, PLAY.

However you chose to integrate crystals into your child's life, they can only benefit. It's not easy being a kid all the time. Here is an excellent, natural resource to take the sting out of things. Kids and crystals, it's a great combination.

It was just after writing the above musings that I decided to leave my computer and go across the apartment to get a piece of bumblebee jasper to bolster creative inspiration. Instead, I returned to my workspace with a small amethyst cluster and three medium to small size skulls. This is how crystals work.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Blog time. What to write? I am stumped for a topic to write about that others will find interesting and can connect with. I know what I like but I find that I am reticent to share because I worry about form, content, resonance with readers, etc. Ever feel that way? Hard to believe that a go-getter, self-motivated, ambitious individual like myself worries about this.

It was just after writing the above musings that I decided to leave my computer and go across the apartment to get a piece of bumblebee jasper to bolster creative inspiration. Instead, I returned to my workspace with a small amethyst cluster and three medium to small size skulls. This is how crystals work. I went looking for one crystal for a very specific purpose and found five others that apparently were more suited to my needs at that moment (unbeknown to me).

Having recently moved and still in the process of unpacking all my stones, I reached for the box that I thought contained the bumblebee jasper. It didn't. Instead I found the others. It's surprising that these stones were the most readily available. (Each one was still individually wrapped in packing paper so I had no idea what I was opening). I could have continued to tear the place apart looking for the bumblebee which would have resulted in frustration, lost writing time, and, for me, could have been the beginning of a downward spiral. Depression and I are no strangers to one another. We have met on too many occasions and as such, I have had to work to handle it. I have my bag of tricks to use when I recognize a trigger or hint of it sneaking in. Crystals have become a part of that tool kit.

Metaphysically speaking, amethyst heightens the connection with the higher mind and/or intellectually psychic self. All of the four skulls have some pink tourmaline in them and two of those are combined with sodalite. Pink tourmaline is wonderful for easing anxiety, stress, and worry. Sodalite has long been my go-to for intuitive work and communication. Hmmm. I began blogging while feeling a bit stressed about finding a hot topic. I seek a particular crystal that I think will be very helpful in today's writing process and within minutes find myself back at my workspace with stones that ease stress, help with communication, and aid in listening to my inner voice and looking deeper. Coincidence? No. Similar occurrences have happened before so I have to rule out too many multiple "coincidences". Wouldn't the bumblebee jasper aid in some of these areas as well? Most likely. However, at this time I needed or resonated with these stones. Crystals may share attributes but each has its own distinctive qualities. I like bagels and english muffins. They're similar but different enough to be unique in their own right. Sometimes you want a bagel, sometimes an english muffin is what really hits the spot. The same with crystals.

Each of these crystals invoked a memory. The amethyst cluster was a gift from a teacher that had a great impact on my life. I received it very early in my crystal studies. She had massive confidence in me, allowed me to ask her anything and everything, and boldly predicted that I would teach about crystals in the future at which I Ioudly laughed. (A story for another time). The skulls were from a recent trip I took with a close friend. This particular friendship began in a crystal class and the adventures we continue to embark on together are special. Simply finding these crystals brought back memories of working with people I admire and great times spent together. What a perk of just going to get a stone for my work area!

Not only did I connect with five crystals that completely suited my needs at this particular time, but I also got practice in listening to my intuition and trusting myself. By accepting that these were the crystals that I needed, for now, ending the hunt for the bumblebee jasper and returning with them to my office, the opportunity to share this real-time experience unfolded. It captures the mystery and reality with which crystals work. I feel no worries, no anxiety, the opposite of stress. I am ecstatic that I could relay a crystal experience in my life as it has actually been happening. How great is this?!

Do I think these crystal properties simply caused any anxiety or other feelings to vanish? Not completely on their own. It is the combination of working with these crystals, learning how I resonate with them, and listening when a new possibility presents itself. It is the integration of them in daily life. The end result? My blog entry was written with joy and excitement, not anxiety or stress. I time spent with crystals that I have not seen or worked with in a bit, giving me another confirming instance of crystal energy at work in my life. Small but not to be overlooked bonuses; I had to physically get up and move to walk through my apartment. I unpacked yet another box. I enjoyed memories that were inspired by the found crystals. I took the time to consider a possibility other than what I intended to be worth pursuing. I went with the flow. Crystals work in our lives as anything else. Sometimes there are big moments, but more frequently there are a lot of smaller moments. These smaller, everyday happenings comprise more of life and remind me to be aware and grateful. What are your small, triumphant moments?

“What crystal do I use to get through?”. My answer, whatever feels right. As things change, sometimes hour by hour, what is needed or works best will also change. Intuition is the best guide.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I pondered what to share right off the bat and was overwhelmed with the possibilities that might help, encourage, or enlighten. I decided to go with the question that I have been asked repeatedly during this time of change, challenge, and somewhat bizarre circumstances; "What crystal do I use to get through?". My answer, whatever feelsright. As things change, sometimes hour by hour, what is needed or works best will also change. Intuition is the best guide.

For instance, being faced with a barrage of necessary decisions about school, finances, work, etc., I have been keeping sodalite nearby. It brings emotional balance and supports rational thought and objectivity all of which have been essential in my life this year. However, the major reason I resonate with it so fully is its capacity to heighten my intuition and self-trust. Physically, sodalite boosts the immune system, aids in balancing the metabolism and helps with calcium deficiency (I am osteoporotic) which is also a bonus.

Alongside sodalite, I have kept howlite. It is an excellent stone for stress management (and who has not been feeling stress in this crazy year?!) while facilitating calm communication. It too is good for bones and helps relieve muscle tension. (I am a runner so that

certainly doesn't hurt). Throw in rose quartz for self-acceptance and general love. I have found this trio to be excellent to "get through it all", move forward without second-guessing, feel confident in my choices, and compassion for others.

As things would have it, I did not specifically seek these three stones. I recently moved and still have not unpacked everything. Interestingly, these three stones surfaced, unpacked. All the others are safely bubble-wrapped in taped boxes until I can get their new space ready. These three just "popped up" and have been in my workspace during this time of personal transition and Covid-19 responsiveness.

It never fails to amaze me how that works. More than once a stone has presented itself at the right time and in the right place without me purposely seeking it. Conversely, because of these unique instances, I become more skilled at knowing what crystal(s) I need during the various episodes that continue to unfold in my life. That is one of the many wonders of crystals. The more in tune I am with crystal energy, the more I grow in my awareness of the guidance and support they offer.

The healing and transformative power of crystals has enriched my life in multiple ways. Through a series of events, crystals found me (it was not the other way around). This journey has taken me to Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Kauai where I have studied under and am certified as a crystal healing practitioner and teacher by Katrina Raphaell and The Crystal Academy of Advanced Healing Arts. I am certified Level I Shamanic Healing through the teachings of Shaman Victor Barron.

The connection of art and spirit has always been with me. Music has been a major force in my life. I hold a BA in music and M.Ed. in education and have taught music in public school and private settings. I sing professionally (jazz, blues and adult contemporary) all over the DC Metro area.

I now practice and teach crystal healing ; synthesizing my experience in music and other healing modalities in my crystal classes and sessions. I consider it a privilege to share this with others and invite you to join me in learning more about connecting, healing and growing with crystalline energy.
