Problems with gemstones

[Statickitten]

Not sure where to put this, so I will try here. Is it possible to over charge or over program a rose quartz? I think I may have done just that. Ever since I did this, I never have any peace of mind, I am always constantly thinking of this individual. I should also mention that I sleep with it under my pillow and carry it around with me during the day. Also, I always have an amethyst and crystal with it. Could maybe one or both of those stones be affecting its energy? I appreciate any help that I can get. Thank you in advance.

Is this quartz pink? It sounds pretty, I want some.

Turquoise is still the coolest gem ever though. What other gem is named it's colour? I know an orange, but that's a fruit!

Hi Statickitten,

You can't over-charge or over-program a crystal, you can only incorrectly program it.

Crystals are programmed with intent. Best way to do this is:
1) Make sure the crystal has been fully cleansed and cleared. Cleansing by way of running water or letting it sit in sea water or water with sea salt mixed in. NOTE - don't do this with softer stones like Malachite or Calcite - they dissolve in water. Clearing can be done just by sending white light through it with the intent to clear any old programmings.
2) Awaken the crystal - this is to bring the crystal back up to an active vibrational level and can be done with tibetan bells, putting them in or near a good quality wine glass and running your finger around the rim to get that pure tone, or even just throwing them down on dirt, sand or even soft carpet. This step is not often considered, but awakening the stones is actually quite important.
3) Now the important part - programming.
First write down your intent for the crystal. Make it very clear and very concise. Hold the crystal(s) in your left hand and clearly speak your intent to the crystal 20-30 times while maintaining an image of that intent, what the results are that you want. This repetition is important as it makes sure your mind is fully focussed and very clear on what you want the crystal to do.

If you have other crystals around it, make sure they also have been cleansed. Clear quartz along sida another crystal will amplify the effects of that crystal, while Amethyst tends to bring about mental stimulation.

As to what kind of crystals to use for what  - the colour of the crystral is the key here. A few thoughts here -
For matters of the heart use rose quartz (very good for healing the heart) or any green stone
For matters of communication - any blue stone
For the mind - Amethyst or clear quartz.
For self love and inner strength - Citrine or yellow stones.
For emotional mattes - Carnelion or any orange stone

Also remember that clear quartz is universal and can be programmed for pretty much anything

Hope this helps
James.

Hi,
Excellent advice from James, as always.  

One more thing needs to be said though......

When using crystals and stones we need to be aware of when they have done the job you sought.  

For instance :-  Ever had a crystal around your neck for whatever reason you chose to wear it and after a day to a week, perhaps, the chain/leather starts to feel uncomfortable so that we fidget with it..  or in extreme cases the stone/crystal necklace will break/fall off.. ?

This happens because we continue to wear it after the work was finished.  Same thing can apply when using them in pockets, under pillows, etc.  

So, I tend to think we can tell when the job is done by being aware of the stone/crystal we are using....  when it starts to feel less than comfortable..  or you seem fidgety with it... it's time to cleanse and rest it.

And White-Lighting it like James said, is the quickest and clearest method, in my experience.

Love Always.
