Metaphysical
properties:
Quartz
helps to develop determination and structure in your life and helps focus your ideas and inspirations. Clear quartz acts as
an amplifier for both positive thoughts and energy and can therefore be good to have around when positive action and focus
is needed. It can be held or worn to bring more power to situations and to promote clarity of thought. Quartz is a stone of
harmony and will tend to produce a more balanced state in you regardless of where you are. It is often thought of as the stone
of the stars as it helps to bring you in line with a higher purpose, both in a personal and a more universal way. It can also
aid in bringing about altered states of consciousness and stimulate psychic abilities.
In terms
of healing clear quartz can help to stimulate healing in the chakras of the body and also in healing the four bodies: physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual. It also tends to combat radiation and static so can be good to have near a computer monitor.
Clear
quartz has been used by many traditions such as Celts, Native American, Egyptian African, Mayan and Aboriginal in the use
of healing, communicating with spirits and attaining an enlightened state.
Clear
quartz helps to dispel negative energy you may have absorbed from other people. If you tend to put yourself down, quartz may
help you fight that feeling. It is good to hold or have around whenever you feel foggy, uncertain or would like to see your
way more clearly. It is one of the most frequently used crystals because of its wide-ranging benefits.
