Fulgurite–Stone of the Week (December 29th-January 4th)

The start of a new year has a magical way of focusing us and hitting the reset button. January marks the time when the masses are meditating on new beginnings, self-improvement, and personal goal setting.  This is reflected in the act of writing New Year’s resolutions. Creating positive and lasting life changes becomes effortless when you can access and align with more of your soul essence and spiritual mission. Fulgurite fosters a higher connection that will quicken your spiritual gifts and manifestation power, taking you to the next level in 2015.  

Fulgurite

Fulgurite is known as petrified lightening, because it is created when lightening strikes sand and fuses it into an entirely new structure–a glass tube.  Since sand is basically quartz, this intense electrical energy is recorded and even amplified inside of the molecular structure of Fulgurite. Perhaps that is why people who can feel energy report that it has a vibration that is fast, pulsing, and hot.  It is both a container and a channel of high-frequency energy that can clear, transform, and upshift almost every aspect of your life.  

Fulgurite creates a miniature, handheld vortex that allows energy to be infused or extracted at any point of the body, depending upon your intention.  You can place it over areas where the energy feels dense or stuck and direct the Fulgurite to pull out any energy blockages that are holding you back.  Or if you would like to activate certain chakras or direct higher energies into an area, you can place Fulgurite there and hold this intention.

Perhaps the most potent placement for Fulgurite is above the head at the crown chakra, where it creates a pipeline to higher spiritual realms.  It essentially acts as a portal for inter-dimensional communication and energy transference.  As spiritual seekers, we are working on raising our light quotients so that we can expand our consciousness and access other dimensions. Working with Fulgurite can give you a download of the next vibratory level of energy, causing your psychic and healing gifts to rapidly advance.  It’s the same concept as receiving your Reiki attunements, which gives you immediate access to a higher ray of healing energy.  Whether you channel intuitive messages through your voice or healing energy through your hands, Fulgurite can quicken your abilities.  And you become the Fulgurite–the channel through which higher dimensional energies flow and manifest on the Earth plane! 

Speaking of manifestation, Fulgurite has traditionally been used to actualize your prayers.  I love what Crystal Expert, Robert Simmons, has to say about it: “The lightning energy, long believed to be the touch of the Divine, still resides in them, and they can act as magnifiers of one’s clear intention, building a powerful resonance between oneself and the latent powers of the higher worlds.”  If you are someone who writes New Year’s resolutions, here is how you can make that practice more powerful with Fulgurite.  Spend some time formulating your resolutions and visualizing all of the good that will come once they manifest.  Call in your higher self, and then blow each resolution through the Fulgurite and into the higher planes. Visualize the energy of each resolution moving at lightening speed into the heavens, where they will be received and then later showered down upon you as answered prayers. Reputable metaphysical sources predict that 2015 will be a powerful year of transformation, and there is no better stone to help you keep up with all of the shifts than Fulgurite.  Get yours on sale this week at Nature’s Treasures, and set the stage for an electrifying new year!

Rainbow Obsidian–Stone of the Week (December 22nd-28th)

This is possibly one of the most profound and reflective weeks of the year.  We are still in the afterglow of the Winter Solstice, which marks the darkest day of the year and the return of the light.  Christmas can bring up every emotion in the book–joy, love, excitement, sadness, regret, frustration, etc.  At a time when everyone is gathered with their families, old memories and issues are sure to emerge and can cause a vulnerable opening and a healing opportunity.  Rainbow Obsidian is the perfect stone to support us in navigating these deep December energies.

R obsidianRainbow Obsidian is a volcanic glass that is a rich black color.  But when you hold it beneath the light, beautiful bands of blue, gold, red, violet, and green colors make a flashy appearance.  This simple physical description tells the story of how it works energetically. Rainbows are a symbol of hope, and Rainbow Obsidian brings that energy into any inner darkness you want to shift. As Crystal Expert, Naisha Ahsian, so beautifully puts it:  “Rainbow Obsidian creates a bridge of light into the dark and painful places of the mind, body, and emotions, allowing one to go in and heal them.” Meditating with it allows you to shine your conscious light upon your hidden shadow aspects.  Then it helps you to create beautiful changes and rainbows where once there was darkness. 

Rain ObsRainbow Obsidian keeps your energy and aura clear, balanced, stable, and protected.  It contains Magnetite, the Earth’s natural magnet. Magnetite attracts and anchors light into the body, and it stabilizes the auric field.  Rainbow Obsidian also contains Feldspar, which helps you to release old energy blockages and to deflect negative energy that might come your way.  Since Rainbow Obsidian is born of fire and volcanic activity, it can help you to transmute lower energy and purify your bio-energetic system.  Wearing it daily as jewelry can keep your aura and chakras bright, clear, and in perfect order.

While most Obsidians have a blunt and hard-hitting energy, Rainbow Obsidian has a lightness to it that feels uplifting and joyful.  If you are a person who gets the holiday blues and feels depressed around Christmas, Rainbow Obsidian can lift your spirits and mood. Wear it as a pendant or gaze into the flashing rainbow colors for a positive dose of energy. Also, some family gatherings tend to be less than jolly and are instead filled with dense karmic exchanges and drama.  If this is what you anticipate at your holiday gathering, keep a Rainbow Obsidian on you for protection, shielding, and help to transmute any negativity and tension.  It is on sale at Nature’s Treasures this week, right in time for the holidays.  Bright blessings to all this holiday season!

Green Calcite–Stone of the Week (December 15th-21st)

The holiday season is upon us!  It’s a time of wrapping up lots of presents and lots of end of the year business.  When you have added stress and extra germs floating around due to cold and flu season, it can be a recipe for illness.  There are so many sick people right now that you might be tempted to wear a surgical mask upon exiting your home.  But instead of that, why not try wearing Green Calcite?  It’s a stone that can boost your immune system and improve your well-being in many ways.

dreamstime_xs_11156486 Green Calcite works on a physical body level to improve the functioning of the immune system.  When I work with it in healing sessions, I can sense the energy moving into the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow to help boost the production of white blood cells.   This is why many people have had success in eliminating bacterial and viral infections with Green Calcite.  Green Calcite is a natural amplifier of positive energies.  When placed on the body, it can expand your general health and vitality.  It connects to higher energy patterns of physical and emotional well-being and delivers them into the cellular level.  

Green Calcite is also a top clearing stone, releasing the root cause of illness in a variety of ways.  Many times it is stress and tension that compromises the immune system, making you susceptible to contracting infections.  Green Calcite has a highly soothing quality to it. Holding one can induce a sense of relaxation, like your are letting out a sigh of relief that releases anxiety and stress on a deep physical level.  Green Calcite can also clear general lower energies that you are exposed to, such as negative emotions from others or EMF’s from technology. It releases old energy that has become stuck, stagnant, or trapped anywhere in the body that would otherwise lead to disease. 

You can also work with Green Calcite to affect your mental body and to create wellness.  Many times your own thoughts and belief patterns can contribute to illness.  For example, if you believe that you are vulnerable to catching the flu at certain times of the year, then it is likely you will manifest that.  Or perhaps you have a belief that your respiratory system is weak.  Since your body is conscious, it takes your thoughts as instructions and runs with them.  You can work with Green Calcite to consciously reprogram your thought patterns around your physical body.  Write down the new beliefs you would like to adopt about your health. Then spend some time in meditation with a Green Calcite over your solar plexus chakra, focusing on your new beliefs.  

If you become sick, it is recommended that you seek treatment from a qualified medical professional.  But know that you can safely work with Green Calcite, in conjunction with any prescribed medicine, to naturally speed up the healing process. You could use medical tape to secure it directly over an infected area, so that it is continually infused with healing energy.  You could also place it over the spleen or thymus to boost the lymphatic system and the creation of white blood cells.  One other suggestion is to place it over the high body point. This point is located between the heart and solar plexus chakras, about an inch or two beneath the sternum. Activating it allows your entire physical body to vibrate at a higher rate. This increases vitality and helps to boost the functioning of all organs and systems to a higher level.  Please stay well this holiday season with Green Calcite!  Get it at Nature’s Treasures this week, while it is ten percent off.

Elestial Quartz–Stone of the Week (December 8th-14th)

Have you ever been in an altered state of consciousness, and all of a sudden you get a fleeting vision of symbols, geometry, complex mathematical equations, hieroglyphics, or something that looks like morse code?  I remember the first time I saw several lines of advanced math interrupting my meditation, I was worried that I was having flashbacks from trigonometry class!  According to Tashira Tachi-ren, author of What is Lightbody?, this is actually light language–an encodement or communication from the higher dimensions.  Think of these light codes as seeds of etheric instructions that take root and upgrade your bio-energetic system. This results in the awakening of your higher chakras, glands, subtle energetic circuitry, and psychic senses.  It is a mechanism that allows you to physically embody more of your higher self and soul gifts, so that you can rock this incarnation and achieve your spiritual goals.  If you are seeking a more vivid experience of light codes, look no further than Elestial Quartz!

Elestial Quartz is a master formation with an etched and layered appearance. Many specimens have multiple terminations all over the face and body. Crystal Expert, Robert Simmons, describes Elestial Quartz in this way:  “They are like crystalline switchboards linking multiple dimensions, times and levels of consciousness to one another.”  The first time I meditated with a large Elestial, I saw multiple rows of symbols made up of dots and lines.  It very much looked like an Arcturian light language that I saw at a conference earlier that year. Then my visual field was wiped clean and replaced with volumes of the most complex math equations I have ever seen in my life.  Most of them contained square root signs, parenthesis, and other math symbols that are meaningless to my conscious mind.  After this happened, I noticed a significant improvement in my healing abilities. So in my experience, Elestials really do act as a perfect medium for transferring energy patterns, codes, and information from the higher planes into the human auric field and experience. Working with them at the crown chakra can result in a major upgrade of your spiritual gifts.

According to Crystal Expert, Naisha Ahsian, Elestials connect to the full-spectrum of light. Then they structure and regulate this energy, adjusting it so that it is the perfect and highest level that you can easily absorb and integrate. In this way, they ensure that you are not overloading or frying your system. This regulating feature means that you never outgrow an Elestial, because it gives you more as you can handle more. 

Elestial Quartz looks like a crystalline brain; and what’s interesting is that they are helpful in upgrading the brain and in healing brain damage. They can rewire your subtle energetic circuitry and create new neural pathways that align you with higher dimensional reality.  Elestials also have a pronounced clearing effect.  They clear blockages from all chakras, and they help you to see and release the root causes of disease and disharmony. They can also purify and dissolve mental and emotional patterns that no longer serve you.  

Elestials are perfect for those who feel called to work in power spots and planetary vortexes.  These places amplify an Elestial’s energetic transmission. At the same time, vortexes open our psychic senses and increase our ability to receive the expanded light codes. When groups come together in power spots for spiritual purposes, Elestials will support this work.  They can assist in sending love, clearing, and awakening through the Earth grids to uplift the whole.  Elestial Quartz is truly an essential for anyone who is on a spiritual path; so be sure to get yours this week at Nature’s Treasures while they are ten percent off!

Crystals for Spiritual Upgrade & Light Code Integration

Have you ever been in an altered state of consciousness, and all of a sudden you get a fleeting vision of symbols, geometry, complex mathematical equations, hieroglyphics, or something that looks like morse code?  I remember the first time I saw several lines of advanced math interrupting my meditation, I was worried that I was having flashbacks from trigonometry class!  According to Tashira Tachi-ren, author of What is Lightbody?, this is actually light language–an encodement or communication from the higher dimensions.  Think of these light codes as seeds of etheric instructions that take root and upgrade your bio-energetic system. This results in the awakening of your higher chakras, glands, subtle energetic circuitry, and psychic senses.  It is a mechanism that allows you to physically embody more of your higher self and soul gifts, so that you can rock this incarnation and achieve your spiritual goals. 

If you aren’t seeing light language yet, don’t worry!  Everyone who is incarnated is going through this process, no exceptions. You can become more aware of these light codes and accelerate your spiritual growth by working with crystals and stones. Certain crystals can sharpen your psychic senses and awaken your third-eye vision.  They are amplifiers of energy and intention, and they can work multi-dimensionally as an interface between your consciousness and the higher planes to speed up your process.  If you are ready for a quantum leap, here is a formula of four magic minerals for downloading the next level of light codes.

They can purify and dissolve mental and emotional patterns that no longer serve you.  

Lithium-Q1-300x225-2Another high vibration crystal that is known for bringing in the light codes is Lithium Quartz.  I am often guided to place it over the third eye of my clients, and many report seeing light language for the first time. With Lithium Quartz, the kinds of light codes that you typically see are colorful energy fields, geometric patterns, and abstract symbols. I have also had the experience of holding a Lithium Quartz and watching etched triangles suddenly appear on the face of the crystal right before my eyes! Also known as records, these triangles represent coded information. According to one of my teachers, Katrina Raphaell, these records were deliberately programmed into the Quartz by ancient Atlanteans, and the information within has some connection with whomever ends up being the guardian of that specific crystal.  

Due to the lithium content, Lithium Quartz is perhaps best known for its natural ability to calm and clear stress, anxiety, depression, and fear.  Lithium-bearing stones also activate the third eye and move you into a higher, meditative state of consciousness.  In addition to lithium, this powerhouse crystal contains manganese, iron, and kaolinite inclusions. All four of these minerals are powerful in their own right. And when they are combined in Quartz, their individual properties create a synergy and are greatly amplified.  The presence of manganese and iron gives this crystal a grounding and balancing effect on the physical, mental, and emotional bodies.  It also helps to anchor the incoming light codes into the body for easier integration.  Kaolinite is like water–it cleanses lower patterns and brings in a smooth flow of energy.  The combined effect is a sense of slowing down, coming to center, rising above emotional or 3-D discordance, and connecting to the higher flows. It’s as if this stone delivers the calming touch of the Divine, a gentle sensation that is also very powerful, easy to feel, and fast-acting.  

kyanite1-300x225-1Kyanite is an energy connector and a transmitter all in one, due to its striated structure.  A striated stone is one that has parallel grooves recessed down the length of the stone. These striations act as channels or pathways for light frequencies and codes to be downloaded from the higher realms into the human energy system. Kyanite is one of the top stones for meditation, helping you to ease into an altered state and to consciously retain more of the experience. According to Katrina Raphaell, this is because it activates the causal chakra, also known as the fourth eye.  Located at the back and center of the top of the head, the causal chakra is where your hair can create a spiral and where a baby’s soft spot is located.  This is the area where you to receive higher mental impressions from spiritual sources. It is the seat of the evolved mental body, the one that exists beyond lower mental static and that is attuned to the cosmic mind.  You know that this area is beginning to activate when you get fleeting visions during meditations that drift away as soon as you notice them. Sometimes you experience this in the twilight state, right before falling asleep. The amount and quality of light language and codes that you can perceive is directly related to the degree that the causal chakra is activated.  Working with Kyanite will open the door.

Kyanite has many other beneficial qualities, such as calming the emotions, rewiring neural pathways, enhancing channeling and telepathy, and protecting the aura.  But one of its most useful properties is that it powerfully clears all forms of lower energy.  It assists in removing blockages and negative energy from all chakras, energy pathways, and meridians. Placing a large Kyanite vertically between the heart and solar plexus chakras can create a bridge that connects all of the chakras and promotes flow through your entire central column.  

Strom2bTiger Iron is a dynamic grounding stone that will serve to anchor all of the higher codes and frequencies of light that the previous three stones will usher in.  It is a combination of Tiger Eye, Red Jasper, and Hematite that naturally strengthens the first three chakras.  According to Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian, Tiger Iron enhances physical vitality, health, focus, and manifestation power. It helps to keep you protected, grounded, and feeling balanced in your body and in your life. Since it has a balance of electrical and magnetic energies, Tiger Iron can channel and integrate full-spectrum light into the physical body. The iron content in Tiger Iron connects you with the core of the planet and strengthens your grounding cord. This allows you to become a divine instrument, channeling light through your system and anchoring it into the Earth. 

Now here’s how you put all four crystals together to create major upgrade of your system. Begin by cleansing the crystals and calling in your higher self to assist with this process. Lie down, and place the Elestial Quartz above your head at the crown chakra. It will open a multi-dimensional gateway and allow the perfect infusion of light codes to come in.  Next, place the Lithium Quartz at your third eye chakra to help you perceive the light codes and ground them into the higher chakras. Then place the Kyanite between your heart and solar plexus chakras to clear your chakric column and draw the codes through your body. And finally, place the Tiger Iron a few inches below your feet to anchor it all into your physical body and into the Earth. Now visualize a wave of clearing energy entering the crown and flowing through your entire body and auric field. Then hold this intention in mind: “I now receive the exact energies, downloads, and light codes that I need and can easily integrate for my spiritual growth and highest good.” Place your hands over the Lithium Quartz, and be open to seeing a light code (or several light codes) stream in. You might see symbols, geometry, mathematical equations, hieroglyphics, or other images. Or perhaps you will see colors or feel sensations. It might be big, or it might be very subtle. Just trust that you are receiving what is best for you at this time. Relax and meditate with the stones in place for at least fifteen minutes, and allow the synthesis to occur.  After some processing time, you might experience an upshift in your abilities or an awakening of brand new metaphysical gifts. Welcome to the next level!

Hiddenite–Stone of the Week (November 24th-30th)

crystal_gratitude200Get out the stretchy pants, because Thanksgiving is upon us!  It is a time of embracing your family and friends, getting stuffed full of stuffing, and truly counting your blessings. You may be familiar with the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who wrote various words and ideas on paper and taped them to glasses of water.  He found a way to photograph frozen water crystals that formed on the molecular level as a result of the vibration of these words.  When asked which words and concepts created the most beautiful crystals and powerful healing effects, here is his answer: “There is a special combination that seems to be perfect for this, which is love plus the combination of thanks and appreciation reflected in the English word ‘gratitude.’ Just one of these is not enough. Love needs to be based in gratitude, and gratitude needs to be based in love. These two words together create the most important vibration.” Hiddenite is a lovely green to greenish-yellow stone that embodies and radiates the combined qualities of love and gratitude. 

images-28Hiddenite emits a high vibrational energy that clears and heals the heart, opening you to receiving blessings.  In this photo, you will notice that it has a striated structure, meaning that you can see parallel grooves or lines recessed down the length of the stone.  These striations act as pathways for higher energies to be amplified and channeled through the stone.  This creates a pronounced clearing effect, and it also infuses the area with love and healing. Many times we block the flow of abundance, love, and blessings due to self-worth issues, past disappointments, and limiting beliefs.  Hiddenite will cleanse the emotional and mental bodies, opening the flood gates to allow in all of the good that the Universe wants to give you. The specimens that contain a hint of yellow are especially useful for those of us who might require just a little extra boost to open a heart that is closed due to past emotional traumas.  The overall effect is like a burst of refreshing energy that brings in more hope, light, and appreciation.  

Hiddenite is a lithium-bearing stone, which gives it the ability to calm the emotions and awaken the higher mind.  It activates the third eye, which eases meditation and moves you into a higher state of consciousness.  When you look at your life from a higher perspective, it is much easier to see all of the higher lessons beneath challenging situations you have experienced. This naturally brings forward a sense of greater understanding and gratitude for your own journey and growth.  When your higher mind is activated, it is also easier to mentally access all of the ways in which you are blessed.  Then you can literally count your blessings, which triggers the associated feelings of joy and appreciation.  The state of gratitude is the synergistic result of your mental and emotional bodies, in harmonic co-operation. An open mind allows higher truths and interpretations of your life to be received and understood, while an open heart allows you to feel it and to allow in even more love and good. Hiddenite will open and harmonize both centers. 

So after you overindulge on the turkey this Thursday, here’s a little Hiddenite meditation that you can do to increase the gratitude vibration and open yourself to receiving even more blessings.  With medical tape, secure a piece of Hiddenite directly over your third eye. Then take some relaxing breaths and come into a meditative state.  Call in spirit and your higher self, and then make a list of at least 50 things in your life that you are grateful for, big or small.  The Hiddenite will activate your psychic and mental centers, assisting you in becoming more aware of all of the good things in your life.  Once you have completed your list, lie down and remove the Hiddenite from your third eye.  Place it over your heart chakra, and then read your list aloud.  Pause after each blessing and really allow yourself to feel the joy, appreciation, and gratitude for each thing.  The Hiddenite will provide greater heart opening and an amplification of the positive emotions you are feeling.  You can put your list in a place of honor, such as on an altar, with the Hiddenite on top of it to continue amplifying your gratitude vibration. Hiddenite is on sale at Nature’s Treasures for ten percent off this week, right in time for Thanksgiving.  So be sure to put it on your shopping list!

Mookaite Jasper–Stone of the Week (November 17th-23rd)

Being incarnated onto a 3-dimensional planet can be quite a trip–and modern living can take its toll!  We are increasingly becoming disconnected from nature, our instincts, and our true essence. And instead, we are connecting more to a compartmentalized, electronic world with shallow values and health-diminishing stressors.  When you need to feel and remember what being in a human body is really all about, you can work with Mookaite Jasper to tap back into your physical birthright.

Mook JasperFound only in Australia, Mookaite Jasper is a sedimentary rock formed from the skeletal remains of ancient creatures, silica, and other minerals. It can contain a wide and pleasing range of colors:  deep red, burgundy, mustard, white, beige, cream, mauve, and purple.  It is a stone that can activate the lower three, more physical chakras and link them with the third eye, our psychic center.  Having these chakras engaged can help us more consciously connect into the Earth grids, the ley-lines and energy currents that feed this planet.  We can begin to feel the Earth’s natural transmissions and draw them into our lower chakras to keep our bodies balanced, vitalized, and sharply tuned.   

Mookaite Jasper attunes us to our world, enhancing our intuition and gut-level, instinctual knowing about what is coming and how to respond. Crystal Expert, Robert Simmons, says that Mookaite can connect us with our animal instincts, and it can even assist with animal communication. Placing Mookaite Jasper at the solar plexus chakra can help you trust your gut when making decisions, especially when there are a lot of conflicting factors to consider.  It helps you to navigate whatever landscape or situation you are in, as if you have a strong inner GPS keeping you safe and on track.  

Mook AMookaite also tunes us into our genetic memory and ancestral line, so that we may reap the benefit of many lifetimes of experiences.  Our bodies are a storehouse of memories, even beyond our own.  There’s scientific evidence that suggests that the beliefs and experiences of our ancestors are literally passed down in the DNA.  Crystal Expert, Naisha Ahsian says that Mookaite not only helps us to tap into these ancestral memories, but it can also help us to clear big patterns and lessons carried over from previous generations.  She also shares that Mookaite can help us to slow down the aging process.  It vitalizes the major organs and regenerates the tissues.  It also works on the mental body level to shift your thoughts and beliefs around the aging process, aligning them with a higher level of truth around longevity and your potential for healthy living.  So if you are ready to be more at home in your body and in your world, Mookaite Jasper is your stone!  Get yours this week at Nature’s Treasures, while it is ten percent off.

Lithium Quartz–Stone of the Week (November 10th-16th)

We are now officially coming up on the holiday season, which can put even the calmest person into a frenzy.  Stress and anxiety is a pervasive issue, as the pace of life continues to accelerate in our already over-scheduled realities.  Luckily, the mineral kingdom gives us her very own natural version of Paxil–stones with a lithium content (such as Lepidolite, Kunzite, Hiddenite, Elbaite Tourmaline, and Petalite.)  Hands down, my favorite lithium-bearing stone is Lithium Quartz: a powerhouse for calming, clearing, and higher dimensional attunement.   

100_16281-300x224

Lithium  Quartz  contains a powerful combination of Lithium, Manganese, Iron, and Kaolinite inclusions, giving this crystal a pinkish grey or lavender color. All of these minerals are powerful in their own right.  And when they are combined in Quartz, their individual properties create a synergy and are greatly amplified. To give you a better appreciation of each component of Lithium Quartz, here are the energetic attributes of each inclusion:

Lithium brings you to a centered space and clears anxiety, stress, depression, worry, and fear.  It activates the third eye, tuning you into the calm energy of the higher realms.  

Manganese has a grounding quality that brings emotional balance and physical healing. 

Iron balances the mental and emotional bodies; and according to Crystal Expert, Melody, it can connect us with ancient healing techniques of Lemuria.  She also says that when Iron is combined with Quartz, the effects are amplified and the vibratory rate is raised to a mastery level.  

Kaolinite helps with processing and clearing problematic life situations, while bringing a smoother flow.

Lithium-Q1-300x225-2The combined effect is a sense of slowing down, coming to center, rising above emotional or 3-D discordance, and connecting to the higher flows. It’s as if this stone delivers the calming touch of Angels, a gentle sensation that is also very powerful, easy to feel, and fast-acting.  Placing Lithium Quartz over the third eye initiates a pleasant feeling of flow that elevates you beyond any immediate stressors.   This makes Lithium Quartz a perfect crystal for anyone who has problems relaxing, letting go of stress, or with insomnia.  It is also wonderful support for anyone who experiences anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.  As a meditation stone, Lithium Quartz brings you into an altered state of consciousness and relaxation–perfect for receiving higher guidance.   

Lithium Quartz is an excellent choice for healers, since it cleanses negativity and brings in higher dimensional frequencies and light codes. Lithium Quartz can transmute and release negative attachments and energetic patterns from any chakra or energy center in the body.  Place it anywhere on the body where discordant energy is sensed to clear it and infuse the area with pure light.   I do believe that Lithium Quartz can bring in downloads and higher light codes.  I have seen this happen in my healing sessions.  Clients have been able to see and feel coded information coming into their higher energy centers.  I have also had the experience of holding a Lithium Quartz crystal and watching etched triangles suddenly appear on the face of the crystal! Also known as records, these triangles that appear on Quartz represent coded information.  So “crack the code” of stress and lower vibrational states by working with Lithium Quartz.  You can get yours this week at Nature’s Treasures for ten percent off.

Unakite–Stone of the Week (November 3rd-9th)

Have you noticed that a lot of people are really working on themselves right now?  Perhaps it is because the cosmic energies this year have been highlighting for us what is not working, encouraging us to change whatever is holding us back from being in our true radiance and power.  If you are ready to make sustainable life changes and to heal big patterns related to health and emotional well-being, Unakite is the stone for you.

UnakiteUnakite is a lovely composite of pink Feldspar, red Jasper, and green Epidote.  It has very pleasing color combinations that range from moss to pistachio green entwined with pink, peach, and faint red.  These colors are related to the heart chakra, making Unakite a stone that nurtures, heals, and balances the emotional body.  When your heart chakra is in the proper balance, you have the ability to take in all of the good that life is offering and to not allow in negativity that is around you.  You are more easily able to deal with natural fluctuations in relationships and to respond appropriately.  And you experience more harmony, compassion, and positive connection.

Many spiritual teachers recognize that the root of physical disorders is usually a repressed emotional pattern.  If you have ever read Louise Hay’s book, You Can Heal Your Life, you have probably been astounded by the chart that gives the underlying emotional cause to any physical issue you are experiencing.  When you don’t express the emotions you are feeling, that energy has to go somewhere.  It ends up being stored in the tissues of the physical body. According to Naisha Ahsian, Unakite helps prevent these emotional patterns from turning into disease, or helps release them from the tissues if they have already manifested.  Part of the process of emotional release is identifying these old emotions and where they are residing in the body, and then letting them out in some productive way–such as through art, writing, communicating, or receiving energy healing.  But to achieve a real breakthrough, you should also work on releasing the thoughts and habitual ways of being that contribute to these lower emotional states.  Unakite can assist in all of these aspects of emotional release, creating a total healing. 

Unakite can also assist you in gradually releasing addictions and unhealthy habits for your physical body–such as smoking, drug use, excessive drinking, or overeating.  Major lifestyle change doesn’t normally happen overnight;  it is usually a process.  Unakite provides energetic support that is slow and steady, encouraging making changes in a sustainable way. Under its influence, you can begin to let go of the emotional triggers that cause the habits.  And over time, Unakite can instigate a detoxification process, helping your body to let go of the substances and energetic residues that are stored in the cells. 

Due to the Epidote content in Unakite, it is also a stone that can facilitate growth and expansion.  It is a perfect stone for those who are in a committed romantic partnership, as it will expand the love and support the relationship as it matures.  And if the couple is ready to expand the family by bringing in children, Unakite is known to help with conception. According to Linda Mason of crysalvaults.com, Unakite will support health during pregnancy;  and parents-to-be can begin forming a spiritual connection with the unborn child by placing Unakite over the womb.  So if you are interested in adding Unakite to your crystal toolkit, get it this week while it is ten percent off at Nature’s Treasures.  You will be glad you did!

Phantom Quartz–Stone of the Week (October 27th-November 2nd)

halloween phantomsBoo!  Do these crystals scare you?  They should!  Can’t you see the ghosts that are trapped inside?  They are Phantom Quartz, and you will find them haunting the shelves of Nature’s Treasures.  In fact, the employees are so ready to get rid of them, that they are ten percent off this week–right in time for Halloween!

Actually, Phantom Quartz is not at all frightening.  They are generally very ancient, and they have lived through many cycles of growth. The visible layers tell a story of their development and can be compared to tree rings.  When the crystal is forming, there is a pause in the growth process.  During this pause, another mineral or dust is introduced to the crystal surface.  Then the crystal resumes its growth, trapping the other minerals or dust inside and creating the effect of an internal, ghostlike crystalline apparition.  Phantom Quartz represents the entirety of our journey, the many phases of life and transformations that we go through while we exist in a physical body.     

close up phantomPhantom Quartz guides you in the process of accessing other life-times and even your entire soul history.  You can meditate with a Phantom Quartz and hold the intention of tapping into your akashic records.  Often when I do healing work with Phantom Quartz, I place it over the client’s crown or third eye chakra.  It helps me to receive visions and information about the client’s unique soul gifts or themes that they are working through in a series of lifetimes.  Sometimes a karmic pattern or miasm will become evident that has been carried over from the past. Phantom Quartz not only brings this information to the surface, but can also be worked with to consciously clear the pattern.  

According to crystal expert, Melody, Phantom Quartz symbolizes universal awareness and it brings people together to help save and renew the planet.  For those who resonate with the role of Earth-Keeper, this crystal is invaluable and can be used in a group setting to achieve positive outcomes for the planet.  With the aid of Phantom Quartz, you can travel back to the time when Earth was in her pristine, untouched state and bring that vision and energy forward into this time/space.  I believe that you can also tap into potential future timelines, where the Earth’s problems are solved, and anchor the outcomes here.  I found a blog on keen.com written by Divine Prince, and this statement really resonated with me:  “Some even believe that past life Light Masters and Crystal Masters left volumes of prerecorded holographic sound/vibrational/visual/audio empathic materials within these structures (Phantom Quartz) for our discovery at the time in creation when we would need them and be most able to develop the mental, spiritual, and light skill ability to access them.”  Perhaps that time is now, and we can begin to access this stored information for the betterment of humanity and the planet.    

I learned from reading Melody’s work that Phantom Quartz can also be used to commune with your personal spirit guide.  Here’s how I like to do it.  Gaze into the crystal, breathe, relax, and move into an altered state of consciousness.  Close your eyes, and then imagine that you are projecting yourself inside of the crystalline phantom structure, which becomes like a sacred temple.  Call your spirit guide to you, and be open to getting a vision or a sense of this being.  This is the time to ask any questions you have about your life or any specific circumstances that you need help with.  Allow any relevant information to flow into your consciousness, and trust what you receive.  So this Halloween, I hope you have an encounter with the right kind of phantom–Phantom Quartz!
