Variscite is recommended for anyone suffering from chronic pain or fatigue who is feeling an emotional turmoil as a result.  Variscite reminds us that the physical body and the emotional body are deeply entwined, and that when one part suffers it is normal for the other part to respond in kind.  Variscite is an excellent teacher when we are working on our brain chemistry and trying to find a good life balance.  It encourages us to pay attention to what we eat and how those foods affect our body and mood.  It also encourages us to notice what causes stress and whether our stress responses are reasonable.  Variscite reminds us that coping mechanisms are great for short-term problems, but can be negative habits if used long-term.  Eventually we have to stop “coping,” and actually face the problem and start the healing process.  It may not be easy or pleasant, but it is the way to peace and wellbeing.  Variscite is also a lovely talisman to help with digestion, joint pain, and male infertility.

In feng shui, Blue colored Crystals and Gemstones bring us the element of Water.

The Water element is one of the most vital elements because water represents the flow of energy. The flow of energy, or “chi,” is crucial for creating a harmonious and well-balanced environment. Water's domain encompasses spirituality, intuition and emotions.

The Water element symbol: Wavy lines

Blue Water element Solfeggio frequency: 741 Hz - Throat Chakra - Awakening, intuition. By potentially stimulating the mind, promoting creativity and self-expression, and providing mental clarity, listening to the frequency of 741 could help with intellectual work and problem-solving. It can also support decision making, which can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. Known as a “detoxifying frequency,” 741 Hz is sometimes used to help those suffering from chronic pain.

Water Energy is traditionally placed in the: 

• Entryway - Use a compass to determine direction (see directions below)
• North - Career and Life Path, Wisdom, Knowledge

Variscite is also amazing to wear or keep in your kitchen to support a healthy diet.  

A balance of Water Energy brings:

• inspiration, rejuvenation, wisdom, insightfulness, luck, wealth, abundance, prosperity, stillness, quiet strength, purification, spiritual connection.

Too much Water can create the feeling of:

• unbalanced, the sense that you're drowning emotionally, you feel overwhelmed, overly social, depression, lethargy, weight gain.

When there's not enough Water Energy, you may experience:

• a lack of sympathy, loneliness, isolation, stress, pettiness, grumpiness, ill, malnourished, unhealthy cravings, harmful habits.

The main entrance of a home is more than just a way to enter the house. It is believed to be the gateway to success and advancement in life. Feng shui considers the main entrance to be one of the key areas of a home, often referred to as the "mouth of qi" in Classical Chinese philosophy, representing the flow of life force.

How to check the Feng Shui direction of my front door?

The facing direction of your front door can be found by standing at the entrance of your home or space and looking outside, and then, with the help of a compass, finding out where it points. Do the process at least 3 or 4 times to get the correct idea.

C L E A N S I N G   &   C H A R G I N G :

Cleanse = Eliminates Stagnant Energy.

Charging = Crystals need to be Charged in order to Replenish their Energy, just like a battery!

Crystals & Gemstones function similarly to batteries, emitting positive energy at a specific frequency into our bodies, resulting sometimes in a tingling sensation. Crystals absorb and convert negative energy, but they have to use their own energy to create a protective shield, which is necessary for deflecting or repelling negativity. When we use a crystal, it will eventually run out of energy and need to be recharged, just like a battery. In its depleted state, the crystal may have also absorbed negative energy, necessitating cleansing and then recharging it. 

~•~•~•~•~•~

Cleansing and charging Variscite is important to maintain its energetic properties and effectiveness. Here are some methods to cleanse and charge this beautiful crystal:

C L E A N S E

 1. Water Cleansing: Gently rinse Variscite under running water for a few minutes. Make sure to dry it thoroughly afterward, as prolonged exposure to water can damage some crystals.

2. Salt Cleansing: Bury Variscite in a bowl of salt (preferably sea salt) for several hours or overnight. The salt helps absorb negative energy.

3. Smudging: Use sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs to smudge your Variscite. Pass the stone through the smoke, allowing the cleansing energy to envelop it.

4. Sound Cleansing: Utilize sound tools like singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks to cleanse your crystal. The vibrations can help clear stagnant energy.

5. Earth Cleansing: Bury the Variscite in the earth for a day or two. This method allows it to reconnect with the Earth’s natural energy.

C H A R G E:

1. Sunlight: Place Variscite in sunlight for a few hours to revitalize its energy. Be cautious, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade some crystals.

2. Moonlight: Charge Variscite under the light of the full moon. Leave it outside or on a windowsill overnight to absorb the moon's energy.

3. Crystal Cluster: Position your Variscite on a clear quartz or amethyst cluster. These crystals can amplify and recharge the energy of other stones.

4. Intentional Charging: Hold Variscite in your hands, close your eyes, and set an intention for its energy. Visualize it absorbing and radiating energy aligned with your goals.

5. Sound Charging: Similar to cleansing, using sound vibrations can also charge your crystal, enhancing its properties.

 Maintenance:
To keep your Variscite energetically vibrant, cleanse it regularly, especially after significant use or exposure to negative energies. A good practice is to cleanse it at least once a month or whenever you feel it has absorbed too much negativity.

Programming your Crystals & Gemstones involves setting your intentions and infusing the Crystal with your desired energy. To program your Crystal, find a quiet space, hold the Crystal in your hand, and visualize your intentions. Focus on the qualities you wish to enhance or the goals you want to manifest. Feel the Crystal’s energy merging with your purposes, and state your affirmations or intentions aloud. The vibrational energy emitted by spoken words holds great power, as do our thoughts, our crystals are tools that amplify and direct our desires and wishes.
