Crystals for New Beginnings: Ring Out The Old: Kyanite

The power behind new beginnings, whether it is for a New Year or a new

day, can be found in the strength of our mental attitude. Encouraging

words, affirmations and other tools can keep us along the path we

desire. So engaging crystals as a tool for guidance seems only natural.

Love, abundance, creativity are often the ideas we strive for the most.

Kyanite

Properties: Kyanite is considered the " Earth Stone " due to its soothing

earth tone colors, as well as its grounding and tranquil nature. This

is excellent for surfacing and dissolving old beliefs. Kyanite reminds

us that everything which happens is for a purpose, and that we are

ultimately in charge. As we begin to look at the events of our lives in

this perspective we can find that beliefs which we accepted as fact are

brought to the surface.

The healing benefits depend on the color it comes in. Blue Kyanite is

most effective when placed on the Throat Chakra in order to open the

throat for communication and self expression. On the Brow (Third Eye)

Chakra, it enhances psychic images, foresight, consciousness and

meditation. Kyanite is used to answer questions, especially in imagery,

such as in vision, dreams or written interpretations. It brings out our

natural ability to manifest things into reality via thoughts and

visualization. Black Kyanite is best used for grounding and balance at

the Root Chakra. This is where it gets its " Mother Earth " reputation.

Folk Remedies: This stone is know for restoring energy balance and

quickly creating tranquility due to the fact that it is an energy

conduit.

Feng Shui: This stone is most often found in light blue and black,

which are both the colors representing Winter, as well as water. Used

in the Center direction, according to its " Mother Earth " reputation, it

is ideal for grounding, balance and spiritual growth. It is also used

in the North to create success. If you wish to effect change in your

life, use this in the direction you need it most.

History: Kyanite (Al2SiO5) is formed from Andalusite, which

recrystallizes when either a decrease in the temperature or increase in

the pressure occurs during its creation. This splintery stone is most

often found in light blue and black and is a variety of the mineral,

Disthene.
