I was listening to Coast to Coast the other day and a man called in recommending “Kyanite” for help with dreaming and OBEs (out of body experiences). I did my own research and found the following description:
“Some say kyanite enhances creativity, broadens perspectives, and helps achieve mutual understanding. It is a stone of attunement. It brings calmness and tranquility and can assist with meditation. In terms of physical ailments, it clears up sinus congestion and enhances the treatment of muscular disorders. Kyanite is one of only a few stones that never need clensing or clearing. It assists in communication and mental awareness. It also helps in dream recall.
The corresponding astrological signs for kyanite are Taurus, Libra, and Aries. According to the chakra guide, which uses stones for clearing, revitalizing, and healing different sections of the body, kyanite aligns all chakras automatically and immediately. In this system it can also open the chakras. Blue kyanite is used specifically on the throat and third-eye chakras.”

I also found the following website, that gives even more information on Kyanite and other Medicine Stones:

I went that evening and purchased a kyanite pendant, and started wearing it immediately. And the first thing I noticed was the number of dreams I had. I also noticed that after spending a couple of hours in meditation, I felt very, very tired. I’m not certain if this was simply because I was tired, or if it as caused by the stone itself. Once I am well rested I will try wearing the stone again and see if the situation is the same.
UPDATE (10/26/2009):
I felt absolutely energized yesterday, so much so that I ended up getting a lot done. And since I felt much better, I put my necklace back on. This time, however, I took Mary’s advice and separated the kyanite pendant from my St. Joan D’ Arc pendant (put them on separate chains). Then last night I had another waking vision in bed (please see my entry called “Mohawk Haircut” under “Visions”).
With the above in mind, I believe the kyanite was helping to realign my chakras. And once that was completed, I am now feeling much more energized. I actually feel great! And am looking forward to many more visions, etc.
