Selenite is a great crystal and especially when it's a generator crystal. I keep one in my bedroom and one in my office. Some of the properties of the ethereal selenite are, removing toxic energy or blocking negative energy, blocking negative entities and psychic attacks especially when used with black tourmaline in energy grids. Cleansing the aura and balancing the chakras are part of its uses, as is enhancing one's psychic abilities and is used in healing work.
Selenite is good for preventing nightmares, calming the mind and de-stressing. It is very important in spiritual work, use Selenite for emotional healing, mental clarity and focus. Selenite is connected to the crown chakra and the 5 chakras above the crown chakra. A word of caution in regards to the 5 chakras above your crown chakra. the first three are safe to use however the 4th and 5th can be used for connecting and communicating with non terrestrial beings or alien beings. I am not in favour of communicating with such beings and I feel this is not a safe or healthy pursuit.
Caution should always be employed when dealing with the unseen world as carelessness can be very harmful to one's mental health. Do not mess with things you cannot control or understand, one should only communicate with one's higher self, anything or anyone communicating with you via meditation must go through your higher self as a safety filter. Even then it is up to your discernment as to whether to allow the communication. This beautiful crystal is have guardian to keep by your side in this activity and other powerful protective crystals.
I strongly recommend you use rose essential oil on your main chakras, wrists, both the palms and backs of your hands, on your ankles, the top of your feet and the souls of your feet when meditating, or doing any spiritual work because rose essential oil has a very high energy and is very good for spiritual connection and protection. Blue Idaho Spruce is the highest energy of all the essential oils but it may not be available as easily as Rose. Rose is my favourite due to the fragrance and its spiritual uses.
Use Selenite to cleanse and energise other crystals, it is a must have crystal in your crystal tool kit. It is a beautiful crystal just to own with is loving warmth, purity, ethereal power and appeal. Do not get Selenite wet as this will damage the crystal.
