Reiki sessions with Stephanie are available on Thursday evenings and some Saturdays at SaltTreeYoga!

✨ Featured Friday: Selenite ✨

If you've ever had a Reiki session with me, there's a good chance you've encountered Selenite. 🤍

Selenite is a huge part of Earth Prana Wellness—used during my Reiki practice and in the creation of each Reiki-infused healing bracelet I make. I use it in so many different ways that I thought it deserved a Featured Friday of its own!

🤍 A Little About Selenite 🤍

What is commonly called Selenite in the crystal world is often actually Satin Spar, a fibrous form of the mineral gypsum. True selenite is generally clear or translucent and has a different crystalline structure, while Satin Spar has the beautiful silky, fibrous appearance you see in my photo.

Although they look different, true selenite and Satin Spar are traditionally associated with many of the same energetic properties. In crystal and energy-healing traditions, they are commonly associated with cleansing, purification, clarity, peace, protection, and energetic balance. They are also traditionally believed to help clear stagnant or unwanted energy and support or amplify the energy of other crystals.

🌿 How I Use Selenite at Earth Prana Wellness:

✨ Every Reiki-infused healing bracelet I create is energetically cleansed on a selenite tower before I add it to my inventory.

✨ On a personal level, when I'm not wearing my own healing bracelets, I store them on a selenite tower to cleanse them daily, and I highly recommend you do the same. 😉

✨ Selenite is always present in my Reiki service room, remaining part of the energetic environment during every session.

✨ During a new client's first Reiki session, I place a small piece of selenite over their heart and leave it there for the duration of the session, with the intention of supporting the clearing and balancing of their energy centers. At the end of their first session, I give them that piece of selenite to take home with them. 🤍

I often recommend carrying their selenite with them as part of their personal energetic practice and as a reminder of their intention for balance and protection. Another option is to place it under their pillow or near their bed as part of a peaceful nighttime ritual, with the intention of encouraging calm, restful energy and peaceful dreams. ✨

For me, selenite has become much more than just another crystal. It has become a part of the foundation of my Reiki practice and of Earth Prana Wellness. 🌿

There's just something about that soft, luminous white energy that feels especially appropriate for Reiki. ✨

🤍 A Little Selenite Care Tip 🤍

Satin Spar is a very soft form of gypsum—about a 2 on the Mohs hardness scale—so it can scratch and break fairly easily. It is also sensitive to water, so keep your selenite (as well as any healing bracelets that have selenite beads in them) dry and avoid soaking or rinsing with water!

🤍 Selenite: a beautiful symbol of cleansing, clarity, balance, and light—and one of my absolute favorites.

🌿 One of my favorite parts of offering Reiki is watching someone arrive carrying the weight of the week…and seeing the peace on their face as they leave. ☺️

Sometimes we don't realize just how much we're carrying until we finally have a quiet moment to put it down.

A Reiki session gives you that time. Time to slow down. Time to breathe. Time to step away from the noise and responsibilities of everyday life and simply be present with yourself and receive.

I love creating a calm, supportive space where you can relax, reconnect, and give yourself some much-needed time to reset your energy. 💚

✨ Featured Friday ✨
Mercury Retrograde Support Bracelet

Mercury Retrograde often brings miscommunication, technology hiccups, delays, and feelings of mental overwhelm. While we can't stop Mercury Retrograde, we can choose to move through it with greater awareness, grounding, and calm.

After one especially challenging day during Mercury Retrograde last November, I felt inspired to create something that could help bring a little more balance and calm to my life. 😵‍💫
I selected each crystal in this Reiki-infused bracelet for its unique energy to support clear communication, emotional balance, grounding, and protection.

💜 Fluorite
Known as the Stone of Mental Clarity, Fluorite helps organize scattered thoughts, improve focus, and encourage sound decision-making. It's a wonderful companion when life feels confusing or chaotic.

🩵 Blue Aquamarine
Aquamarine carries a soothing, calming energy that helps reduce stress and supports clear, honest communication. It encourages you to express yourself with confidence and compassion.

🖤 Black Tourmaline
One of the most well-known grounding and protective stones, Black Tourmaline is believed to help absorb and transmute negative energy while promoting a sense of stability and security.

🩶 Labradorite
Often called the Stone of Transformation, Labradorite supports intuition, resilience, and adaptability. It reminds us to trust ourselves as we navigate unexpected changes and challenges.

💙 Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli encourages wisdom, self-awareness, and authentic communication. It supports the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, helping us speak our truth while trusting our inner guidance.

✨ Reiki Infused with Intention
Each bracelet is cleansed and infused with Reiki energy, carrying the intention to help you remain grounded, calm, protected, and centered throughout Mercury Retrograde.

Remember, Mercury Retrograde doesn't have to be something to fear—it can be an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

🌿 If this bracelet speaks to you, send me a message to learn more or reserve yours.
