All children love crystals. The vibrant colours, shapes and the textures available makes any kid’s eyes light up with wonder. And at times it appears the attraction is almost mutual. They say crystals choose children and I’ve seen this happen with my son, who as a toddler sat and picked out only the amethyst tumbled stones from my collection. Needless to say I began to place a few amethysts by his cot as a baby to soothe his frequent waking at night due to teething, and it worked.
Because children are so pure and so trusting at the most core level, crystal healing like most forms of alternative healing work faster on young ones.
Here are a few time tested crystals which may help your child. Always opt for larger, smoother pieces or large tumbled stones, so there are no sharp edges and no danger of swallowing the crystal. Do remember to cleanse your crystals after buying them and if possible, do get them programmed or energized according to your child. If the child is too young to wear it as a pendant, place the crystal in his or her room, or buy her bed. And if your child is still an infant, make sure the child doesn’t put it in his mouth.
Insomnia and Night Terrors – Amethyst
Anger – Howlite or Carnelian
Boosting Self Confidence – Carnelian
Clarity and Concentration for Studies – Lapiz Lazuli, Turquoise or Clear Quartz Crystals
Immunity and General Protection – Pyrite, Eye Agate, Moss Agate Hematite
Calming – Green Jade especially if the child is very sensitive or timid among strangers
Accident Prone – Turquoise
Love and Trust – Rose Quartz
These are just a few of the general crystal remedies for children. Benign with no side effects, some crystals may feel too heavy for the child. If you see him tugging at the pendant, keep it aside, rinse it under water and place it in his or her room.
