A clear to transluscent mineral that forms when sea water evaporates, white selenite might be called the “salt of the earth”. As humans, our own saline blood naturally resonates with this delicate stone and its striations of high frequency energy. Existing on the border of the physical world and pure white light, selenite creates a bridge, allowing integration of the very highest levels of frequency into form. Its close association with both water and air/wind elements gives insight into how this “liquid light” might benefit us most. Although this stone’s effect on our emotional body is calming and stabilizing, it also strongly activates our spiritual connection to source, bringing a higher awareness into our “feelings”, creating a deep sense of peace. This awareness assists us in aligning our soul and heart vibrations or “higher consciousness” with our human emotions.

Selene is the Goddess of the moon. Her energy is felt within this ally, creating a direct connection to divine feminine wisdom. Our 6th, 7th, and soul star (above the head) chakras are quickly opened and energized when using selenite. With this stone in hand, placed on or around the body, we are safe from over-emotionalism, and may experience strong insight to our higher purpose, with support from our spirit guides, angelic presence, or other light beings. Using this stone with any others amplifies the qualities they offer. This synergetic quality is an important gift of selenite. When we need to detach from day to day drama or maintain the focus of our intentions, selenite links and balances the mind’s intelligence and spiritual “knowing”.

For meditators, selenite is an wonderful ally for clearing monkey mind, expanding awareness, and attuning with the divine. For healers, selenite is an essential tool. I use this light filled stone in most sessions at some point, to clear stuck energy, to bring in light and anchor it in the body. Often I use black tourmaline, another powerful ally (I plan to write about it next time) as a grounding polarity stone in this process. But it is important to be cautious around how much light energy any person can handle at the time in body layouts. Keeping selenite in our homes, especially near an entrance, or close by rose quartz or amethyst, is desirable. And this beautiful white stone is a wonderful choice when creating stone grids. Physically, selenite brings strength to body tissues, bones and teeth, soothes the nervous system, stimulates memory and facilitates cell regeneration.

Never put selenite in water for cleansing. Over time it would disintegrate. Placement in sunlight or moonlight for occasional recharge is enough, as it is self cleansing. I use plates of selenite to clear other small stones after use, sensing a “grateful friendship” exists in their sharing of space and energy.
When we use peach-colored selenite( also called red), it focuses the energy of healing on moving past emotional wounds, helping us look ahead rather than back in time. It also regulates moodiness, and transforms resentments or self shaming into acceptance and forgiveness.
