Not much has changed in my approach to sharing about crystals in the past 8 years since this interview! I still find working with stones to be one of the most powerful ways to connect with our intuitive wisdom and strengthen our connection with ourselves, others, and the natural world. Someone guiding you to find the right stones for YOU will always be a more powerful experience than having someone tell you the “top 3 stones” for… anything! One size doesn’t fit all, which is why I guess I don’t really fit in the set-up algorithm. 😊 Each one of us is unique, and we each need what’s right for us and our own experience.

If you’re seeking an expert guide who knows as much about walking the spiritual path as they do about crystals, please feel free to reach out to me. And if you are moved by the way I share my love of stones and people, please share this with others! ❤️🌿

Hi! I’m Laurelle. I see a lot of new folks on here this past week and thought to introduce myself again. 🌸

You’ll see I post a lot about crystals and energy healing. These are two of my passions and also what I do for a living for over 10 years. I even wrote a bestselling book about them called “Connecting with Crystals” (find the link in my bio). 💎

I like science—though it could be argued I only understand it from its spiritual perspective. ✨

I don’t have any special fingerprints on my fingers and thumbs, which I’m told means I am here to spread love. I do however have a special print on the spiritual mound of my palm, which indicates I am a spiritual teacher. I think my clients and students would agree. 💗

I love organic aged earl grey tea with raw honey (she says as she sips). 🌿

I am a Virgo, though not a typical one. Sure I’m all about health and being in service, and will analyze the crap outta stuff—but with a Pisces rising and an Aquarius moon I’m pretty chill, free spirited, and all about creative spiritual connection. Oh right, and a bit eccentric. 😂

I’m also a sap for a good love story. 💖

I love dancing, singing and playing with crystals. 🙂 Therefore I often dance and sing with my crystals. ⬆️ In fact, I was a professional actress, singer and dancer for the first half of my professional life—from musical theatre to dancing with Little Stevie’s Garage Girls-a-go-go. So much 60’s fun with that last one! 🙃

Did I mention I like playing with crystals?! 😂

Dubstep and trip hop are some of my favorite music genres. What is life without a good beat that you can dance to?! 💃

All said, I aim to be an aligned guide on your journey, recommending only what is in your highest good. I wish to empower you to be your most connected and present self, for when we are individually at our most whole, so is the world. 💞

I’d love to hear a bit about you, what we have in common, and what you dig about me and my work. Lots of love and blessings to you all, and welcome to the newbies! 💕

✨✨✨

The music is “Love Is” by my long-time friend @laurell eden. Check her out at LaurellEden.com

Crystal Healing Certification with author Laurelle Rethke
Greater Boston Area | September 18–20

What happens when you move beyond simply knowing how a particular crystal will work, to developing your own intuitive relationship with them?

In my Crystal Healing Certification : An Experiential & Intuitive Approach to Working with Stones, we answer just that. It is designed to give you both a strong foundation of knowledge and practical experience, while helping you develop and trust your own way of working with the stones.

Over this hands-on weekend, we’ll explore the energy body and how crystals interact with it, learn the essential crystal families and healing techniques, experience the stones through meditation and intuitive practices, and practice giving and receiving crystal healing.

We’ll be working with crystals from our friends at White Mountain Crystals to give you many beautiful stones to experience throughout the weekend. @wmc.rocks

And if you’re curious but not quite ready for a full certification, you can join us Friday evening, September 18th for Connecting with Crystals—an opportunity to cover the basics, and explore your relationship with the stones and your own intuition.

I hope youll join us at @webreathewellness in the Greater Boston area this September to develop your own deeper connection to the crystals and to yourself. ✨

🌿 Greater Boston 📍 WeBreathe Wellness 📅 September 18–20

This particular Desert Rose Gypsum reminds me of a person sitting in repose, re-examining or re-evaluating the way forward, taking the time to see things from a new perspective. To me, this type of shift in mindset and core beliefs is the miracle that can change our lives! This mineral is a wonderful ally for that.

Formed in the desert, these rosette-shaped tan to white crystals remind us that beauty exists even in the harshest conditions.

More grounding than other selenite varieties, Desert Rose Gypsum brings a gentle infusion of light that sprinkles down through our whole energy field to cleanse and steady us.

This amazing stone assists us to dissolve old programming and limiting beliefs so we may flower anew. It strengthens our purpose, and helps our new steps forward to take root.

It additionally cleanses and supports our root so we are grounded in light—and helps our root chakra to flower so we may manifest our greatest selves.

What a beautiful stone to use after these intense eclipse energies, or anytime we wish to move beyond what no longer serves us. It also works great with a StarDrop™ Meditation or Infusion. ;)

If you have a Desert Rose Gypsum handy, meditating with it to discover or release self-limiting beliefs is a powerful practice. If not, you can use this image to connect with its energies.

I hope this post inspires a new way forward for you. <3

WORKING FROM A LITTLE PARADISE 🌴

I may be away for the month, but I’m still very much at work — just from somewhere with a little more sunshine, palm trees, and sky. 😊🏝️☀️

And honestly, one of the beautiful things about much of the work I do is that we don’t have to be in the same room for meaningful connection to happen.

If you’ve been thinking about trying a virtual session, or haven’t yet had a chance to work with me in person, this is a lovely time to give it a try.

Sometimes a little distance makes it easier to create the space you need to hear yourself clearly.

I’m here. 🌴 And the work travels with me.

✨ Astrology Readings ✨ StarDrop Infusions & Energy Healing ✨ Spiritual Alchemy & Personal Guidance
✨ Private Instruction & Mentoring

Text me at 917-406-0225 to find a time, or book your session online—Link in IG Bio

I’m especially opening up space for personal guidance and healing work, with 20% off those sessions through the end of the summer. ✨

I wasn’t looking for a new water glass. Quite honestly, I was reluctant to let go of the one that I’d been using for almost a decade. I still loved it!

But this crystal-filled glass just kept catching my attention… so I decided to give it a try.

And wow—what a result! I’ve been drinking almost twice as much water since. Apparently having a glass that calls out to you makes a difference. 😂

Crystals have always had a deep relationship with water, cleansing and mineralizing it within the Earth. I love how these crystal glasses continue that relationship—structuring your water and energetically infusing it with the stone of your choice.

Water additionally holds memory, making this a wonderful way to imbue it with the frequency of your intentions in a daily water ritual. 😊

Each of these glasses feature tiny crystal pebbles sealed between the two glass walls—so you can enjoy the beauty and unique qualities of your favorite stone with every sip.

Plus, I just love the sound the crystals make when I move the glass as I drink.

A beautiful way to engage with crystals—and your own personal intentions—every day. Plus drinking more water is not a bad side effect. 😉

Currently in the shop: 💜 Amethyst 💚 Green Aventurine 🩵 Aquamarine
💛 Citrine 💗 Rose Quartz

(The Fluorite and Kunzite have already found new homes, but I’m happy to order more if you’d like one! There are other stone choices too, like Carnelian and Garnet.)

Side Note : In one week I’m heading to San Juan for a month—so if you’d like one shipped before I go, let me know by August 10th. ✨

Crystal Water Blessings 💦

So… rings are now a thing! 🙃💍😊
Custom-made to order with the Stone of your choosing.
Crafted with care and created with love. 💗

✨✨✨

Many of you over the years have asked me about rings, but I just never found a design I really liked—until recently. So I went a little nuts making all of the above for you!

The benefit of hand crafted rings is I can create them with the stone of your choosing, in your size, with your intention woven in. And all of these designs have the stone touching your skin. :)

The above are all made with Crystals and Brass, but I can also create pieces in Silver or Gold for just a bit more. Please reach out if you see one that calls to you, or have one in mind you haven’t been able to find.

Blessing! 🙏🏼
