About Annie

Working with crystals Annie creates energy vessel cosmic armour jewellery pieces and personalised crystal sets to aid her clients needs. Teaching them how to harness their crystals and bring that magic into their every day lives.

How do you create a collection such as the menopause?

When creating any piece of jewellery, it's important to find out what the client wants from it. So, in the case of the menopause jewellery, we thought about the main symptoms and then looked at stones that could support this part of life.

Some stones are for protection, and they are signified as an amulet, and then there are talisman stones which are for boosting. As a crystal healer, Annie will spend time making sure that the balance is correct. She does this by meditating and listening to which crystals pop up and of course through research. The stones are adaptable and so it's important to get a clear understanding of how they can work with each person.

Key crystals for perimenopause:

Thinking specifically about perimenopause Annie suggests these three crystals

• MOONSTONE - for all female hormones. It has lunar energy and it is good to keep by you when you sleep
• MALACHITE - a more mature stone and also the midwife stone. This is often used to balance hormones.
• AMETHYST - travellers stone to support your in your journey through perimenopause, also very calming for anxiety which is another key symptom in perimenopause.

Some key do's and don'ts with crystals

Always clean your stones when you receive them. They will have picked up energy, negative or positive, during their journey to you. Annie suggests the simplest way is to lay them on a bed of salt, and then just throw the salt away. Then to recharge them every month in the same way.

Cleanse your stones every month. Moon bathing is often suggested for stones but it is much more complicated than just putting them out at night, as the different stages of the moon have different effects on the energy. So simple salt cleansing is still the best way to cleanse your stones.

Don't add them to water, some contain minerals that leach. If you want to charge your water you need to put them into a separate container, or use them outside the water.

Use them with intent. Think of crystals as your armour, and you can positively charge them and use them with intent. Spend time with your crystals and they will support and help you.
