This week I have chosen to feature Tiger’s Eye as my crystal spotlight. Tiger’s eye is a very beautiful and more well-known stone in the crystal community.  It has lovely bands of yellows, golds, and browns that vary from stone to stone. I have never seen two pieces exactly the same.

Tiger’s eye is not only beautiful but very calming as well as powerful. This stone aids in harmony and balance as well as aides you in releasing fear and anxiety. Tiger’s eye is also known for aiding in decisions and understanding by helping uncloud your emotions.

In the olden days it was traditionally used as an amulet against harmful curses. It helps block negative energies while building self confidence and strength of will.  It also enhances creativity.

I often keep tiger’s eye close by in all my studios and work spaces to help keep me calm , focused , and balanced while working on my creative projects.

Tiger’s eye stones are often found in South Africa but also found in Brazil, India, Western Australia , and even the USA. The meaning of the stones name is simple, the stone looks like the eye of a tiger or cat in some ways. Tiger’s eye also comes in a blue and red tone, all equally as beautiful with slightly different traits to each color.

Tiger’s Eye also helps with the solar plexus chakra with has powerful effects of “the will” or “ I can” in your daily existence. By carrying or wearing this amazing stone you will often be more active mentally and physically. It also helps bring out many psychic gifts and develop more earthly connections.

Tiger’s Eye is one of my personal favorites. I also use it in a lot of my handmade  reiki and full moon charged and clensed crystal jewelry.  Below are a few of my latest creations and more can be found in either of my shops. ( www.shantasticshine.com   or Via ETSY)

Carnelian the orange stone of protection , abundance, fertility and more!

Carnelian  from my Reiki 2 attunement- Photo by Shantastic Shine
- purchase pieces like these today from Indigo Flame Gifts

Carnelian, a very beautiful glassy yet translucent crystal that is a variety of orange tones and a mineral of the Quartz family. Carnelian is believed to help so many things. From helping even the shyest become a bold speaker to helping workers and architects construct master buildings. It was even worn by ancient warriors for courage and strength! Carnelian is a stone for many as you can see. It’s also a favorite of little old me!

Carnelian is used for many things  some of the other major uses and purposes are to attract prosperity and resources.  I personally used Carnelian in many of my grids for this purpose. It is also the crystal of ambition, drive and determination all amazing qualities to have. 

Carnelian also helps the voice and singers often wear it to promote confidence for their performances. If you are a singer it is said to be beneficial to wear it as a necklace. ( You can find carnelian necklaces in the Shantastic Shine Shop if you are in need of one asap!)  IT is also the stone that lends the courage needed to help overcome difficulties while defending a specific cause. It offers a sense of community and love.

Orange crystals in particular help with fertility and the sacral chakra as well. Carnelian is full of life force energy and stimulates the metabolism while activating chakras.

Another reason I have chosen to talk about carnelian today is because it helps aide us through the LEO FULL MOON which is coming TOMORROW.  Which means you should also be prepping all your crystals to charge under the moon tomorrow night.

Carnelian is a strong crystal that is also good for helping charge other crystals like citrine or selenite. It has a self charging frequency to it.  When going through my personal Reiki 2 attunement I choose 21 crystals from my Reiki Masters collection. 14 of them were Carnelian while the rest were honey calcite. I proceeded to build a grid (  I actually never counted how many I had just started picking from until after the actual ceremony , then realized I too choose 21 stones just as Usi did while going through his own process)  I still have these crystals and often use them in the center of my alter grids in my home where I am building my own reiki healing center. It helps make the house feel very calm and has indeed help me draw in some abundance.

 

I currently have a set of carnelian in stock for Crystal Gridding and would be willing to sell or trade it if interested please contact me. I also make custom reiki charged healing energy jewelry and could combine carnelian with your other favorite stones upon request. Feel free to contact me at anytime my email is shantasticshine@gmail.com. I promise I am easy to work with and would love to get you a piece as soon as I can.

Shine on always

Some say Merkaba some say Mer-kah-bah BUT WHAT IS IT?

Some say Merkaba some say Mer-kah-bah  BUT WHAT IS IT?

I’m sure many of you have heard this term used in the growing spiritual and enlightened communities. Though how many of us really know what it is? I've been doing some research so that I could share a bit more background on what this divine symbol really means.

My Reiki 1 Attunement series 1. The Merkba in the center helps
as a generator for the energy exchange for healing and transformation.
Prints of these are available in my shop
www.shantasticshine.com

In history it is said that the merkaba is the divine vehicle allegedly used by the ascended masters. Allowing a person to ascend or descend into higher or lower world.  Though the merkaba is much more than just a vehicle of ascension. It seems it can be really a vehicle for meditation transport to anything since this is a primal pattern created by all things in the universe both visible and invisible.

A better translation of this word is “mer” which means light, “ka” means spirit, and “ba” means body. So this essentially means it is a vehicle for the light spirit body, which can transport ones spiritual body from one dimension to another for study or growth.

The merkaba consists of two equally sized, interlocked tetrahedrons of light with a common center. Where one tetrahedron points up and the other down. This point symmetric in form is then called a “stella octangula” or stellated octahedron which can also be obtained by extending the faces of a regular octahedron until they intersect again.

Merkaba Horse - a part of my Spirit Animal Series also available in my shop.
2014 creation

Drunvalo Melchizedek describes this figure as a “star tetrahedron” since it can be viewed as a three dimensional version of the Star of David. When imagining the two superimposed star tetrahedrons counter rotating in movement with each other along with some specific “prana” breathing technique it is taught that a person can activate a non-visible “flying saucer” like energy field around the human body so that it is anchored near the base of the spine. Once activated this field is said to be capable of carrying ones consciousness directly to higher or even lower dimensions.

There is a very specific teaching of spherical breathing using 18 breaths that was given to us be Drunvalo Melchizedek which I hope to release in more depth in an upcoming article or video.

The term markaba is also a Hebrew word for “chariot” and has been used in the bible in Ezekiel 1:4-26 and refers to the throne or chariot of God, and the vehicle used by the four Cherubim to reach our dimension. Some of the earliest mentions of the merkaba were through prophetic visions of God in the heavens and used by the heavenly creatures surrounding God. 

Sets 1 and 2 of my Attunement Series. They can be interchanged and flipped. One of my favorite series. Available in my shine shop.

In more modern times there are classes and workshops given for Merkaba Light Activations. In which the learner will have a chance to be walked through activating their own personal merkaba with proper breathing techniques and meditation. For more information on such classes or workshops feel free to look them up in your local area or contact Guide Nick Bryce via Project Bring Me to Life, who also holds Merkaba Monday events at the Universe Building in Detroit Michigan.

Malachite – The Power Crystal

What is Malachite you ask? It is one of my favorite crystals!

Malachite has a beautiful rich green color similar to that of very healthy grass or a pretty pine tree.  It is actually made of a carbonate copper mixture. Malachite can also have some black spots or bands which simply adds to its beauty in my opinion.

Don’t be to fooled by its beauty though, this stone is POWERFUL and the dust from an unpolished piece can also be toxic if not handled properly.

It is said that malachite should be used by an experienced crystal or energy healer and will often find it’s owner at the right time. This stone is very important to cleanse every full moon and as much as possible. It absorbs negativity around it and can start to emit it at a powerful rate if not cleansed frequently and no one wants their negativity amplified.

Malachite is said to be the power and transformation stone. Malachite helps balance pure love, spiritual evolution, and “female monthly problems.” This stone will bring transformation in a positive way again and again if used properly.  Malachite is also a protection stone, it guards against radiation of all kinds, clears electromagnetic pollution and heals earth energies. It is also said to aide you in fear of travel. Of the current reality and the astral realm.

Malachite is dedicated to the heart chakra located near the center of the breastbone, it regulates our interaction with the external world and controls what we embrace and what we resist most. Malachite also stimulates dream state and brings memories more vividly to life.

Handmade Bracelet by Shantastic Shine - Malachite with a Lapis Focal. Charged and ready to be shipped to your door!<3

Malachite is one of my all time favorite stones. I've used it for healing and transformation of myself and in my family. I actually received my malachite heart in the mail the day my Grandmother went into the hospital during one of her last battles. That heart stayed in my pocket for 6 months and I used it many times to help cleanse her heart chakra and balance energies in the room.  The day my Grandmother passed away the heart literally jumped out of my hand and hit the ground, and broke.  This heart was sturdy and has hit the ground before. Where it fell from wasn’t more than about 2 feet from the ground and it broke into two pieces, She now has a piece of my heart with her forever and Malachite will forever remain one of my favorite crystals.

Feel free to e-mail me for a custom order. : shantasticshine@gmail.com

Featured above is my Confidence Growth bracelet
Jade is a stone of good fortune. It is a stone of wealth and prosperity and luck. It brings about inner peace and awareness, promotes self realization, and keeps us on track towards our dreams and goals. Ruling the heart chakra, jade helps to reduce emotional and mental stress, and keeps us honest. It may also help to improve agility, and muscle responses.
Onyx is excellent for concentration, focus, grounding, and confidence. It helps to stimulate logical communication, and sharpen your sense of hearing. Though the most popular onyx is black, it actually comes in a variety of colors including red and green.

Charka Bracelets Yay :D

Chakra bracelets are accessories designed to balance the seven chakras, which are said to be energy centers used for centuries by Indian and Eastern cultures. These bracelets usually consist of seven stones or charms in different colors or designs, each component representing one of the chakras — crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and base.

While some claim that the benefits of wearing chakra bracelets comes directly from the energy of the stones used, others say the bracelets merely promote awareness and allow for increased focus on keeping these seven energies in balance. In either case, the bracelets are used in alternative medicine to promote healing and vitality. A chakra bracelet may also be worn solely for aesthetic purposes.

Chakra Bracelets Include:
Root: Red Jasper
Sacral: Carnelian
Solar Plexus: Golden Calcite(beaded) / Citrine (chips)
Heart: Amazonite(beaded) or / Peridot and or Rose Quartz (chips)
Throat: Blue Lace Agate(beaded) / or Aquamarine (chips)
Third Eye: Lapiz, Sodalite
Crown: Amethyst


* Some Beaded also include:
Rhodonite
Lilac Stone
Tiger's eye
Jasper
Magnesite

Love and Light... things are about to SHINE so BRIGHT

Sorry for my lack of organization. However as always in the early stages of business and bloggin' growth there are big things happening. Worlds are changing and things are growing and being created! A lot of it because I am currently growing so much myself that it's ridiculously exciting.

I'm hoping to get some organized information together and start adding more motivational topics to the blog rather than just creation updates.

It's about time I spread more than just arts and crafts and spread some Love and Light in this world. Look out tis about to get real!
