Essential Oils and Gemstone Guardians Cards

Working with Essential Oils and the Cards

Aromatherapy, or the practice of using essential oils, is a wonderful adjunct tool to help you create balance, happiness, and health on all levels— mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. When I was a child, the aromas of our kitchen and garden were my earliest connection with aromatherapy and using fragrances from the garden for health and well-being. My love for crystals, minerals, and gemstones dovetailed with the use of essential oils, and I am sharing my revelations and realizations with you.

You may already be familiar with my work in other card decks and books about using crystals and gemstones with angels, archangels, animals, masters, mystics, saints, and even as an avenue to uncover your soul purpose. This booklet guides your use of Essential Oils and Gemstone Guardians Cards, where you will learn to partner gemstones with essential oils and use the power of positive thoughts to have a more rounded experience of complementary self-care.

Everything has energy, and it makes sense that there are specific gems with specific vibrations that match the energy and qualities of essential oils. I’ve chosen 42 of the most commonly used essential oils for this deck and put them into six life categories: Love, Health, Money, Safety, Happiness, and Intuition.

Each card is two-sided, with messages, positive thoughts, and the matching gemstones for each of the 42 chosen essential oils. Use both sides of the cards to encourage, inspire, and educate yourself daily. The card is color-coded to match the category for the intention. The front side includes an affirmation and a photo of the matching gemstone for that essential oil.

This deck is an excellent tool to improve your knowledge of the qualities of essential oils and their vibrational matching gemstones. Adding the crystal or gemstone employs color, vibration, geometry, and the gemstone kingdom in conjunction with the plant kingdom and brings your awareness to another level of understanding. (It is also a great way to have a collection of crystals at your fingertips without going to the expense of assembling a collection of gems!)

There are many ways to work with this deck. Use the cards as you would gemstones and essential oils. Of course, it is beneficial to inhale the aroma as you read the intentions and affirmations and gaze at the crystal on the card. Whatever you focus on creates your reality, so allow yourself to pick a card of the day or the week to get to know both the essential oil and the crystal while integrating the positive intentions and thoughts. You can take the cards with you wherever you go, as they are easy to carry and improve your mindfulness practice. Your desk, purse, backpack, and nightstand are just a few of the places you can place the cards, so that they serve as friendly reminders.

Use this deck to learn ways to use essential oils and the matching crystal intentions. The power of positive thinking, combined with intention and visualization, is based on metaphysical principles.

Essential Oils and Gemstone Guardians Cards teaches you about using the aromatic parts of plants in the form of oils and mists paired with crystals with a matching frequency to improve overall well-being and happiness. This kit will help you to understand metaphysical principles and the physiological benefits provided by the chemical constituents of the essential oils and the color, geometry, and vibration of the matching gemstone.

When a gemstone and essential oil is matched with a daily affirmation, the stone and essential oil amplify the intention. The combination of aromatherapy and crystals help you focus on designing your reality according to your dreams and visions. In my work with color and crystals for three decades, I’ve found that to use a stone most effectively, it is best to associate an intention with it.

The more information you have about the qualities associated with specific stones, the more creative you can be with using these valuable tools to improve your life. With this deck alone in hand, you have access to use 42 essential oils, their meaning, and a positive intention to create your world filled along with the matching crystals and gems.

Will an essential oil or a crystal magically help you manifest your dreams and reality? Yes and no. Yes, because when you decide to use the combination of a crystal and aromatherapy to create your world, it is the decision that makes it all fall into place. Once you decide your path, the essential oils and crystals are your allies and part of your team to take action and make it a reality. And, no, because neither the crystal nor the essential oil will create your reality without your clear focus and action to make it happen. It is all up to you. The essential oils and gemstones are your allies to design your reality. This deck goes beyond a set of cards with some information; it serves as your oracle and teacher. The cards help open your consciousness to the matching vibrational energies that can come together to bring forth your dreams and visions. Essential Oils and Gemstone Guardians Cards is a tool to meet and learn each oil extract and the bark, bush, flower, root, and plant or tree. It is your guide to meet and establish an alliance not only with the plant kingdom but also with the gemstone kingdom.

Why does this all work together so well? Everything is energy, and all energy has a vibration. Crystals also have energy and vibration, and their vibration is based on the stone’s color and how the stone grew in the earth. Every stone has a spiritual component to help you further develop your spiritual connection. Likewise, the mental use aids in maintaining mental focus and clarity, while the emotional use of a stone can help you deal with feelings and unblock underlying challenges. The physical benefits of crystals range from healing your physical body, to physical needs like money and career.

SAMPLE CARD WRITE-UP

Geranium and Rose Quartz

Color Code: PINK

Geranium essential oil brings a healthy balance. It reminds your body through the olfactory nerve that you are in a constant state of restoration and healing. The vibration of this essential oil deters jealousy and opposing forces. Inhale this aroma to let go of the energy that brings you down and to raise your thoughts to focus on solutions and cooperation. This harmonious vibration seeps into all aspects of your existence, including physically, mentally, and emotionally. On a spiritual level, invite the precious energy of your guardians and angels to uphold you and deflect anything that isn’t for your highest good.

Allow this aroma to waft around your space, and focus on the pink color of rose quartz as you make it your intention to have compassion and be kind. Build a bridge between your chakras to connect your human existence as a grounded individual on this planet with your spiritual one. The soothing pink color of the rose quartz crystal is perfect for situations where you need to feel comforted and surrounded by unconditional love. Use it when you need to amplify your feelings of unconditional love for others as well. It is a good stone for grief, loss of love, friendships, better connection with all beings, and cultivating existing relationships.

When the Geranium and Rose Quartz card shows up in your day, let yourself focus on your heart throughout the day. Make it a practice to continue to return your attention to your heart again and again. Notice how much easier things are and how much happier you feel when you make mindfulness a regular practice.
