In this video, I want to talk about seven crystals that can be used for protection. And when I mean protection, I'm using that word very loosely, because I personally do not resonate with the idea of protection. Because for me, the word protection implies a threat. There's always like an underlying fear that resonates through that word protection. So for me, the word protection is not something that I really resonate with, especially these days.
These days, when I hear that word protection, the way I perceive it or the intention that I see behind the meaning of that word is really a way for us to strengthen our aura, to strengthen our force field from within, and to strengthen our power. Because after experiencing many, many lessons in my own life, I have come to understand that we are not powerless, that I am not powerless, that I have the power. So when I feel like I'm threatened by some outside force, there's an implication there, for me at least, that someone else is more powerful than I am. Something else is more powerful than I am. So I have come to understand that I can take back my power and I have my power and no one, really no one, has any power over me, other than the power that I allow an outside circumstance to have over me. So this is just my basic understanding. I have come to understand this fact and it has really proven to be very useful for me.
That understanding that I am a powerful person and I am not a victim has really helped me in my process of growth and evolution. And to be quite honest, I know there's a lot of people who go through a lot of things and there's so many people who are empathic and they feel things so strongly. And of course, there's always a lot of things going on and definitely we have to place boundaries. Definitely we have to protect our physical space if we need to. But this is not what I'm referring to.
What I'm talking about in this video, and when I'm going to be discussing these seven crystals, my intention is at least for us to use these crystals that come into our lives to increase our frequencies, to increase the light in our bodies, so that the need for us to build protective walls around us can be replaced with such high light that these walls around us or these threatening circumstances around us can fall to the wayside or dissolve or be eliminated completely by the sheer light that we ourselves hold. So this is where I'm coming from when I'm having this conversation with you guys today.
And you know guys, I honestly understand how important this subject of protection is to many people. And this subject of protection is a very, very sensitive subject because many people experience a lot of things in their lives and many people are in different stages of their lives going through difficult circumstances, you know, and protecting ourselves, protecting your being, protecting your space is a very, very serious subject. So protection is not something that I'm minimizing because protection of energetic space and protection of physical space is something that's very, very important for us. And protection is obviously something that all of us need to do based on our own personal assessment of what's going on in our lives.
But I can honestly say for me, based on my own spiritual journey, I have realized that increasing the light in my own life has been the most protective force for me. And again, when I'm talking about protection, I mean that the more I increased the light in my own life, the more the idea of protection, especially from others, completely disappeared from my thought process. Because I understood a lot of things and it took me a long time. And this is my own personal statement that I'm saying here and it doesn't have to influence anyone else. I'm just sharing that I discovered that when I increase the light in my own life, and I'm going to make a video talking about ways and means in which one can increase the light in their own lives, but in any event, increasing the light in my own life completely transformed me and completely erased the need for me to think about protecting myself, especially from outside sources.
Because in many ways I understood the concept of me creating my reality and I also understood the concept of other people reflecting things to me to help me evolve. And I also understood the concept of as within, so without. So those three ideas, of me creating my reality, other people reflecting to me things that were helpful for me, whether I was pissed at those people or not or how those people triggered me was not the issue, but they helped me to see aspects of myself that needed to be shifted because I was in a healing process, and also the concept of as within, so without, really helped me with this idea of protection.
But I'm mentioning this again guys, because this is just my own personal path, my own personal process and the things that I needed to understand in order to get myself out of a hole. People's lives are completely different, people are walking completely different paths. I mean you don't have to buy into my idea of protection. Certain people need this idea. There are some people who still come from the concept of protection from others and that's perfectly fine as well, because there's no wrong way or right way of doing anything. So in all things, everything is all good. Energy is neutral. It's just perception. It's just part of the process of each individual's life and it's all for the highest good of ourselves and of course ultimately the highest good of all.
With that said, let me quickly share the seven crystals that I personally recommend for protection. And keep in mind that any crystal that raises your vibration or any high vibrational crystal is a highly protective crystal. Any time you raise your vibration, you are really, really increasing the light in you and therefore protection is automatically guaranteed by the increase in light in your being, by an increase in light in your environment. So anytime you're raising your vibration or working with a high vibrational crystal, guess what's happening? You're increasing the protective energy.
The first crystal that I want to talk about is Black Tourmaline. Black Tourmaline is one of those common crystals that most of us have and it's a crystal that is often used for protection by so many. And I find that the protective energy of Black Tourmaline acts very, very quickly. You know I have a very interesting relationship with Black Tourmaline because I have discovered for myself that Black Tourmaline is a crystal that quickly stops negativity, at least for me. I found out about the power of using Black Tourmaline from a past experience where I was feeling like some negativity was coming at me from a certain direction and I had heard at that time that many people were using Black Tourmaline to protect themselves from outside forces. And at that time I was feeling that I was under some severe attack from some outside person. So since I had Black Tourmaline, I gravitated towards it and I used it and I found that it immediately grounded the angry energies that were running through my veins.
So I found that Black Tourmaline was very, very protective in the sense that it grounded me. And because it grounded me, I was able to focus on the anger that I was feeling inside me and work on myself. And because I worked on myself, it sort of fortified me, it strengthened my being and it protected me from whatever else I was thinking of doing or from having my thoughts running wild and from even incurring more and more negativity in my life. So remember, protection sometimes it's not so much about the outside forces but protection of your own energetic field, whereby you're building yourself and strengthening yourself. So Black Tourmaline is one of those crystals that I highly recommend.
The second protective crystal that I highly recommend is Obsidian, Black Obsidian or Snowflake Obsidian, but let me just say Black Obsidian. That is a crystal that is my personal best, especially at this time. And from my own personal experience, I have found that Black Obsidian is one of the best crystals for absorbing toxic energies. And I have noticed that when I'm working with Black Obsidian, the energy is very stable and it's like a long-term energy, very, very stabilizing and also very, very protective.
The difference for me between Black Tourmaline and Black Obsidian is that, for me, Black Tourmaline is for quick results and it's for short term use. And Black Obsidian is a crystal that I use for the long term. It's like it has energy that goes on forever and ever and ever. So that's the difference. Black Tourmaline short term, Black Obsidian long term.
And you know what, I always love to wear these protective crystals or energy strengthening or vibration fortifying crystals as bracelets. I just find it easy to carry the energy of these crystals around with me when I wear them as some kind of jewelry. You see here I'm wearing a Black Obsidian bracelet and this is a Black Tourmaline bracelet and this is a Snowflake Obsidian bracelet. And then I'm also wearing a Shungite bracelet, which brings me to the third crystal that I recommend for protection, and that crystal is Shungite.
Shungite is also a black stone that comes from Russia. It's mostly carbon based and it's a very good crystal that many, many people use for cleansing purposes, especially for cleansing water. So it's one of those good stones that you can include in your crystal elixir if you love to drink crystal elixirs. It's just so good as a cleanser. And also for me, it's a very good aura cleanser. It's just something that I personally understood when I was working with this stone, that it's a very good one that I should personally use at least for cleansing my aura. So that's why it's also one of the crystals that I wear as a bracelet. Because remember that anytime you're cleansing your aura, you're increasing the light in your being and therefore protecting yourself. So it's all good. There's just something about these black crystals that has a protective energy, quote, quote, protection, quote, quote.
The fourth crystal that I recommend for protection is the golden healer crystal. This golden healer crystal, it just makes me feel happy just hearing the word golden healer. The golden healer will raise your vibration. And you know how there's been images of those saints in the days of old who have this golden halo around their head? When I think about this crystal or when I'm working with this crystal, it just reminds me of that golden halo around the heads of saints. And that high vibration is so protective. And you know I always feel like when I'm working with this golden healer or when I'm visualizing the work with the energy of gold, I cannot even imagine during those times the vibration or the frequency of negativity. So for me, the golden healer is one of those high frequency crystals that totally, totally is very, very protective in a very strengthening, fortifying, high vibrational way. So that's the fourth crystal.
The fifth crystal that I want to talk about is titanium aura quartz. It looks like this. It's one of those crystals that has been bonded, you know, it's a quartz crystal that has been bonded with titanium. You know it's been fortified and strengthened with titanium. And titanium is one of those very, very strong metals. So you have quartz crystal which is very hard in itself and then you have titanium which is very tough, strong metal. And these two energies, the metal and the crystal fused together, they form a strong, strong force. So anytime you're working with titanium quartz crystal or any crystal that has been fortified with another strong metal, you know that is almost like protection right there.
And the fact that it has these beautiful, beautiful different colors that look like rainbows and they're just so, so beautiful, that alone brings a high vibration to the whole experience of working with energy for protection, quote, quote, therefore fortifying your aura and increasing the light in your being. Which I'll repeat again is the best kind of protection. Increase the light, protect yourself. Increase the light, protect yourself. Again, increasing the light is the best protection. That's just my take on it.
Crystal number six that I recommend for protection is mystic merlinite, or what is also referred to as indigo gabbro. It looks like this. See this beautiful tumbled stone here? It's just so beautiful. This is a very high vibration stone. It's indigo and black, or what you can even think of as violet and black. And those are very high vibration colors. And a raw piece looks like this one. Mystic merlinite or indigo gabbro is a very high vibration crystal. Violet, as you know, is a color that transmutes a lot of energy. It's a very high spiritually activating color, very high transmutation color. It's the color also of the violet flame, which I love very much, and which is for me a tool that transmutes negative energy or non-beneficial energies into light.
I love this stone because indigo gabbro carries the vibration of violet. And you know violet and black, black is an energy that absorbs toxicity, and combined with violet which is found here, indigo, violet, black, very, very powerful protective energies. When you're working with mystic merlinite, you are able to transmute negative energies into the highest light. And at the same time, you also have the added advantage of the black within which absorbs toxic energies.
And now for the final crystal, our beloved selenite. Selenite, yes. I mean it goes without saying that selenite crystal is a very, very purifying crystal. And every time you purify your aura, every time you purify your space or your being, you fortify and strengthen your aura, therefore increasing the light. And therefore what? Protection.
So that's it. Those are the seven crystals that I highly recommend for protection, quote, quote, which for me basically means increasing the light. So a quick rundown of those seven crystals are black tourmaline, black obsidian, shungite, golden healer, titanium aura quartz, mystic merlinite, and selenite. So those are my seven crystals for protection.
And I'd really like to know, what do you guys think about the idea of protection? What does it mean for you and how do you guys protect yourselves? Let me know in the comment section below. And in the meantime, keep fortifying your fields, keep increasing that light. And I'll see you guys next time. Radiate, shine, we are that big light. Love you guys. Bye.
