Selenite – the
Spiritual and Meditation Worker
Selenite comes from the Greek words “selene” which means
“moon,” and “lithos” which means “stone.”
It was believed to wax and wane with the moon. Selenite is a crystallized form of
Gypsum. It is a very soft mineral and
should be kept dry, never immersed in water.
If Selenite gets wet, it will dissolve.
Selenite has several metaphysical uses – it is believed to
help garner protection from the angelic beings, and help connect with one’s
guides or guardians. It raises one’s
Higher Self and Christ Consciousness. It
protects one from the dark influences and shields the user from negative
energy. During meditation, Selenite can
help one gain access to past or future lives.
It provides a clear picture, letting one see what needs to be done to
resolve a situation. Selenite is an
excellent tool to cleanse and recharge other healing crystals. Selenite never needs to be cleansed or
recharged itself.
Mentally and emotionally, Selenite sooths and comforts. It provides peace and tranquility. Selenite can be used in a grid in the corners
of a room or in a tabletop grid to promote harmony within a home and create a
safe, peaceful environmental for children and family. It can also be used to
strengthen the memory and aid in memory retention.
Physically, Selenite will heal and repair on the cellular
level by removing energy blockages, and is often associated with the spine and
skeletal system. Selenite has been said
to help those with epilepsy by decreasing seizures. It is also believed to be
good for a breast feeding mother.
Selenite can be found in many forms – as a rough stone, a
tumbled stone, made into lamps and candleholders, as a lighted cathedral, wands,
carvings, and as slabs. They are perfect
to use in grids and as an accessory in a room because of their gentle, healing
vibration.
