Kyanite is excellent for attunement and meditation. It is tranquilizing and a powerful transmitter and amplifier of high frequency energies, stimulating psychic abilities and intuition. 

Herb

Chickeeed

Parts Used: Dried Arial parts

Collection: This very common weed of gardens and fields can be collected all year round, although it is not abundant during the winter. 

Chickweed finds its most common use as an external remedy for cuts, wounds, and especially for itching and irritation. If eczema or psoriasis causes this sort of irritation, chickweed may be used with benefit. Internally, it has a reputation as a remedy for rheumatism.

Infusion: pour a cup of boiling water onto 2 teaspoonfuls of the dried herb and lave to infuse for five minutes. This should be drunk three times a day. 

For external use, chickweed may be made into an ointment or can be used as a poultice. To ease itching a strong infusion of the fresh plant makes a useful addition to bathwater.
