I’ve put a lot of time into making an important decision about the Charms Of Light™ business.  It’s been a difficult thing to do, but I’ve always made a promise to myself to only keep doing what brings me joy, and that means there will be some changes.   Creating healing jewellery is a great love of mine and I am very passionate about it, so obviously I will continue this.  I will also continue teaching Reiki, doing guidance readings, and gemstone

I received the following email from a customer recently:…     “Have you ever met anyone who has a negative, immediate physical reaction to seeing Amber? I find I cannot look at it, it hurts my head and makes me feel sick. I remember this happening even as a child. Curious to know if you’ve ever heard that, or know what it would mean?” Amber is a powerful healer and cleanser, although it is actually a resin, not a stone.   Similar

I’ve had a lot of enquiries over the years about which crystals are helpful for fertility, pregnancy and childbirth.  In that time, I’ve created many special custom made Birthing Charms, Fertility Pendants, Fertility Bracelets, and Labour & Birth Bracelets  - like these .....              A couple of weeks ago I wrote about menopause crystals so I thought it was high time I should write about

Menopause is the third of three important stages in a woman’s life.  The first stage is The Maiden, the second stage is The Mother, and the third stage is The Crone.  This third, very powerful stage of The Crone, is where we get to embrace our truth and inner wisdom, whilst celebrating a new phase of life.  Unfortunately though, for many women it can also be a time of physical, emotional and hormonal stress with symptoms that can sometimes last for years, including

One of the questions I'm often asked is, "Can you suggest some stones/crystals we can place around the house?"   Our homes are our sanctuaries.  We want them to be a place where we can relax, feel safe, and be ourselves.  One way of enhancing those protective, nurturing and loving vibes is to place crystals around the home. Here are some suggestions:   Amethyst Amethyst relieves stress and strain, thereby encouraging a relaxing

With all that is going on in the world right now, it's no wonder I'm being asked for advice about gemstones to keep you safe from disease. Please understand one thing though, the most important thing you can do to keep yourself safe from any disease is to stay away from it.  Stay away from anyone who has it and stay away from anyone who is vulnerable just in case you are carrying it yourself. I know there are many people who are carers and keyworkers at this time.  These

Although well meaning, I believe that the many books written about the healing properties of gemstones, should come with guidelines.  People read these books and then believe that, because it is written, a particular gemstone is absolutely right for them.  Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple ....   It is true that certain gemstones are good for certain problems, however it is important to think about the whole person when healing and not just the illness, or

About a month ago I was contacted by someone who wanted me to create a healing bracelet for a relative who had just finished undergoing surgery and was having radiotherapy for breast cancer. For this particular person, I created a crystal bracelet containing the following gemstones:  Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Turquoise, Moss Agate, and Smokey Quartz.   Creating a healing bracelet with crystals that can help with radiation treatment, made me think again about

In addition to wearing gemstones, gemstone elixirs and essences are other ways that you can benefit from the powerful vibrations of gemstones.  They are easy to make and can be used for all manner of circumstances.  Apply them to your skin or spray them into a room, or even put them into your bath water.   There are two primary methods to make gem elixirs:  One is the Direct Method in which the gemstone is immersed in the water; and the other is the Indirect Method, in

All healing crystals, and healing gemstone jewellery, purchased from Charms Of Light™ are cleansed and Reiki enhanced before they are sent to you.  However, over time, they will pick up negative energies or vibrations and will need to be cleansed again and re-energised.  You may also wish to programme your gemstones with specific healing intentions, once they have been cleansed.  Cleansing your gemstones is also important before making a gem elixir.  Following
