What do I do with my energy? and crystals/stones

[Chanting Bear]

I'm wondering if anyone else has explored the effects of crystals and stones on their dogs energy? Crystals and stones are frequently energetically classified as water, earth, wood, metal, fire or storm/wind. Most have a predominate energy, but there are ones that have more than one. These properties are based on the crystaline stucture, the minerals present, the conditions under which they form along with some more esoteric principles. Based on a crystals properties, they can either intensify energy or ground it.

My 70 lb rescue dog Bear has so much disorganized energy that a animal behavioral medicine veterinarian classified him as having generalized anxiety disorder. Although much progress has occurred with NDT, it has been a slow, frustrating and exhausting road.

One thing Neil mentioned about the energy of indoors being too intense for some dogs and when they get anxious, that anxiety literally bounces back to them and perpetuates the energetic crisis really got me thinking about the environment in my one bedroom condo.

I first removed everything but the essentials from one room and arranged the furnishing using basic Feng Shui principles. The helped calm Bear considerably, but he still had his energy explosions.

I have collected crystals and tumbled semi-precious stone for the last 45+ years, and all of them are out on display. I gathered them up and sorted them based on their energetic properties and set them out in bowls. Over time, he consistantly preferred to sleep next to the earth and water ones, seemed neutral about metal and wood and avoided the fire and wind/storm ones.

I have removed all the fire, wind and storm stones from my condo and he has chilled out considerably. I'm in the process of trying to determine which stones he is most drawn to so I can place them in a small velvet bag and attach them to his collar.

Update: Bear and I have selected Hematite, Smoky Quartz, Green Calcite, Brecciated Jasper and Amethyst,

I'm very interested in sharing anyone elses experience with dog energy and crystals.
