Compassion is part of the human condition. While it has been shown in animal species for years now, it was originally thought to be a trait that was unique to human beings. Arthur Schopenhauer once said, Compassion is the basis of morality. When we recognize that we are lacking compassion in our daily life, we may begin to feel a bit lost. If compassion is the basis for morality, then without it, morality would be lost. It is hard sometimes to hold on to compassion when we live in such a dark world sometimes. We may feel like giving up. The soothing and influential vibrations of healing crystals can once again restore your compassion where it may have been lost or diminished. The reverse also works if you are looking to receive compassion. Others in your life could be too busy to see something is going on with you or notice an issue you are struggling with. With the right crystals, you can help draw more compassion into your life.

There is no other color that is more serene, peaceful, or patient than blue. Blue is the color of ice reflecting the slowly lightening winter sky as the deep violets depart and the sun climbs higher every day. As the winter slowly gives way to the budding spring, and life quickens, ready to burst forth, blue marks the beginning of life and emotion. Blue crystals are the crystals of trust. When we seek to become more sincere, act more responsibly, or become more trustworthy or faithful, these crystals give us the focus we require. Blue crystals also bring you water energy. Water energy is the energy of stillness, quiet strength, and purification. It embodies potentialities unrealized. It is yielding, formless, yet powerful.

What Authors Say About Crystals

Sometimes the harshness of life can run down our compassion for others. We start to become unaware of our self-involvement and our lessened sensitivity to others. The opposite can also affect us, when others are not giving us the compassion and understanding we need to get through tough situations. In times like these we can use the healing hues of dark blue crystals. We suggest using dark blue colored crystals such as Sodalite and Lapis Lazuli. You can also try crystals that other authors have recommended such as Angelite and Celestite.
