AMETHYST
Amethyst is one of the most effective crystals for healing. It reverberates with high-frequency energies of the Crown and Third Eye Chakra as it opens, activates, and heals.
Amethyst calms and soothes the mind, body, and spirit. It assists in the transmission of neural signals through the brain to aid in sleep, disband anxiety, and calm angry temperaments.
Amethyst opens the Third Eye to enhance intuition, and balance spiritual knowledge with intellectual reasoning. Amethyst protects against psychic attack, paranormal harm or ill-wishing, and returns the energy back to the universe after being transformed into positive, loving energy.
Amethyst is a wonderful talisman for use in the creative arts, especially in darker shades. It is often used as the Artist's Stone, the Composer's Stone, the Inventor's Stone, the Poet's Stone, and the Painter's Stone. Keep an Amethyst crystal or cluster in your artist work area to focus and amplify the creative elements of the Universal Life Force.
