I love working with crystals and know that there is always a stone that will help me to work through any blockage in my life, whether it is energetic, emotional or indeed in my creativity. Crystals always have a powerful impact on me and what's going on around me and can really help me to get back into the flow of life. If you've never used crystals, why not give them a go?
Creativity is associated with the 2nd, or sacral chakra, located just below the belly button. The traditional colour for this chakra is orange, so most orange-coloured crystals and gemstones will help enhance your creativity. But I also think it's worth looking at some that help to open up the third eye or brow chakra as this is associated with visualisation and 'seeing' new ideas, as well as inspiration. These are elements that can really enhance any creative endeavours.
Although aventurine is green and not associated by colour with either the sacral or the brow chakras,it is said to be good for releasing blocked creative flow and activating your imagination.
Moonstone can also release blocked creative flow and is the perfect stone for connecting with your intuition and goddess energy, both of which can inspire creativity.
Amber promotes creative self-expression.
Tiger's eye helps released blocked creativity and in recognising one's own natural talents and abilities.
Green tourmaline rejuvenates and inspires creativity and draws the wearer towards prosperity and abundance. I think that's an added bonus, especially if you wish to earn a living from your creative pursuits.
Citrine is associated with creativity, abundance and opening up to intuition. It also enhances individuality and self-expression and encourages you to explore new things and move forward.
Amethyst helps you to open up to new realities and assimilate new ideas. It helps to stimulate the 3rd eye chakra, increase intuition and enhance visualisation. Brilliant if your creative leaning is towards anything visual such as painting.
For a really potent mix, try ametrine which combines amethyst and citrine and all the qualities they bring into one powerful stone.
You can use these crystals as tumblestones and simply keep them in a pocket, purse or handbag. Or you could wear them in a piece of jewellery while working creatively, especially if they nicely polished gemstones.
Alternatively, why not use crystals to enhance your creativity by creating some creative space?
If you wanted to create a 'creative' area you could place these crystals, or a selection of them around a candle of yellow or orange. This may be a good place to meditate on your own ideas or creative thoughts. Make sure you keep some paper and a pen handy though as you just never know what creative ideas might spring to mind once you start using crystals and gemstones to tap into your creative side.
