“Dear Adrienne, Mother’s Day is coming up, and I was thinking about getting my mom a piece of jewelry as a gift.  Can you recommend a good stone for Mother’s Day? I’d like something that will honor her. Thanks! ” –J.P.

The gift of gemstone jewelry is a perfect way to show your mom how special she is, since jewels are associated with treasure, beauty, and worth. It can be a power piece that will lend her energetic support throughout many years, plus she will be reminded of your love every time she sees it! Almost any crystal or stone would make a fine Mother’s Day gift, and I think the most important thing is to show that you’ve put some thought and care into your selection.  Pay attention to the colors she likes to wear and the styles of jewelry that she prefers.  For instance, I know that if I am going to buy any jewelry for my mom, it had better be big, bold, and colorful, since that is her personal style.  Another approach is to research stones that have the type of energy she might need to support her with a specific issue that she is facing.  If you do that, you can then make a little card to go with it that details the healing or energetic properties of the stone.  This will show how much thought you put into the gift, and it should certainly win you some brownie points! 

But to answer this question in general terms, there are several wonderful crystals and stones that naturally resonate with the qualities of the Divine Feminine, making them ideal Mother’s Day gifts. One of my top choices is Moonstone.  This magical stone is typically white with iridescent flashes, making it versatile to wear with different colors and outfits.  But its energetic properties are what makes it so valuable.  Moonstone is great for bringing out the feminine qualities of intuition and empathy, as it has a strong connection to the Goddess and lunar energies.  It helps women to embrace their power and to trust in their psychic impressions and in their feeling natures.  It is especially wonderful for those who are anxious or experiencing overwhelming emotional states, as it brings in an energy that is very soothi ng and calming to the emotional body.  This stone also provides protection to the auric field, as it clears and deflects negative energy.  And what mom couldn’t use all of that, wrapped in a simply gorgeous stone?

Another wonderful option is Chrysocolla, which resonates with goddess energies and gentle power. Its Caribbean color ray immediately brings in an uplifting paradise vibration.  And this color resonates with the throat chakra, making it an ideal option for a power pendant.  Throat chakra blockages are a common issue for women, as many of us have been taught to hold our tongues and only say “nice” things.  Chrysocolla encourages speaking your truth from your heart.  It also has a copper content, which is associated with the goddesses of Venus.  Copper stones are perfect for absorbing negative energies and clearing blockages.  It projects the energy of the balanced and evolved feminine form.  

I would also recommend Pink Tourmaline, as it is a high vibration stone that is a top carrier of the feminine ray.  My favorite new ring has two especially high quality Pink Tourmalines in it, and the energy is so vibrant and powerful, reflecting the deep love and passion of an enlightened heart. Pink Tourmaline emanates the comforting energy of nurturing and safety.  It gives you permission to be more vulnerable, as it’s message is that it is safe to open your heart.  Pink Tourmaline has lithium in it, which naturally calms you down and treats stress, worry, and depression, while also activating the third eye.  It is also naturally striated, which makes it a perfect channel and amplifier of high frequency energies. Pink Tourmaline is a great option for heart healing, since it transforms dense emotional patterns and repairs auric damage from past traumas.  This gemstone is the perfect symbol of higher love for your mom.

The wonderful thing about giving your mom crystal jewelry for Mother’s day is that you really can’t go wrong!  All crystals put off energies that are beneficial, and who doesn’t love sparkly, pretty things? As long as it comes from your heart, you know she will love it.  That’s the beautiful thing about moms!

May 2012 could very well be a turning point for the evolution of the planet.  Reputable metaphysical sources are all singing the same song: “Hold on to your hats! The cosmic forecast calls for intense astrological and numerological alignments that are sure to instigate major personal and planetary changes.” To kick off the month, we have the power date of May 5th, which is a triple five day.  (If you add all of the digits in 2012, they equal five, so this creates the 5-5-5.) In numerology, five is the number that embodies the energy of transformation. And this happens to coincide with the Wesak full moon, a time when spiritual people gather worldwide in celebration of the life of Buddha and his enlightenment teachings. This month’s astrological charts feature a powerful six-pointed star occurring from May 8th through the 20th, and astrologers are calling this a time period of heightened positive synchronicities. Then we have a rare annular solar eclipse on May 20th. Eclipses bring in an energy of important change and major turning points.  May 20th also marks the final phase of the Cosmic Trigger. According to Metatron (channeled by Tyberonn), the Cosmic Trigger is the download of geometric crystalline codes necessary for the completion of the planet’s expansion into twelve dimensions.  All that is happening in the sky above us this month creates energy fields that shower down to accelerate changes on the Earth plane.  To make the most of this cosmic weather and the opportunities given to us to transform ourselves with the incoming light, we can turn to Fulgurite, which embodies this process in its very formation. 

Fulgurite is born when lightening crashes, fusing the sand around where it strikes into an entirely new structure of a glass tube.  Due to the intense heat, sand is vaporized at the exact place of the strike, and the sand around where the lightening bolt hit instantly melts and congeals into a tube. That is why some people call Fulgurite “petrified lightening.”  In that instant of alchemy, silica-rich sand becomes a mold that captures the intense energy of lightening.  And because sand is essentially Quartz, this electrical energy is recorded and even amplified in the molecular structure of Fulgurite. People who can feel energy report a high-frequency vibration with Fulgurite. To me, it feels like a fast, pulsing energy. I have noticed that my thoughts move more quickly through my mind and feel more structured, as if Fulgurite is rewiring or upgrading my mental processes and circuitry.  Fulgurite consciousness is sharp and responsive.  Having a conversation with it can be like having your question brilliantly and lovingly answered before you are even halfway through the process of asking it.

When holding Fulgurite, I have always been able to tangibly feel a vortex being created above my head that naturally pulls my personal energy up. If you are sensitive to energy, you might feel this, too.  It’s like your etheric double is being pulled up and out of your body.  Perhaps this up-lifting sensation is what raising your vibration feels like. I’ve also noticed that I can change the direction that the energy flows through this Fulgurite-created vortex.  If I hold the intention that the energy is flowing down through the vortex, I can feel higher energy showering down through the top of my head and through my chakric column. My personal experience tells me t hat it is accurate to think of Fulgurite as a mini portal or vortex, just like crystal experts Robert Simmons and Judy Hall suggest.  So how can we apply this vortex power for healing and enlightenment?  You can place it over areas of the body where the energy feels restricted or stuck and direct the Fulgurite to suck out any energy blockages.  Or if you would like to activate certain chakras or infuse higher energies into an area, you can place Fulgurite there and hold this intention. Fulgurite is quick to interact with us, so you’ll notice its fast healing response when you ask it to help in these ways.

When I was in meditation with Fulgurite and focusing on its tube formation, it gave me a vision of all of the tube-like structures in our physical body.  We have so many: the veins in the circulatory system, the gastrointestinal tract, the nasal passages, the ear canals, the throat, etc. Aspects of our respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and lymphatic systems have tubes in them.  The message I got was that Fulgurite can be applied for the healing of the tubes in our bodies, especially if there is swelling or obstructions that need to be cleared.  So the energy of Fulgurite can help with health issues such as high cholesterol, respiratory infections characterized by excess mucous, tumors and cysts, urinary obstructions, Crohn’s disease, constipation, lymphoma or lymphedema, etc. You can place Fulgurite over the area in need of healing and clearing. Then visualize Fulgurite energy permeating into the tubes and acting like a vacuum, sucking out what is obstructing the tubes and clearing the passageways.  Since Fulgurite is from the Quartz family, it has the proper molecular structure for holding a program that you intentionally place inside of it.  So if you have a chronic health problem relating to the tubes in your body, you can program a piece of Fulgurite to heal the condition.  For inst ructions on how to program a crystal, please refer to my January Crystal of the Month article:  http://www.adriennegoff.com/january-citrine-programming-mastery-in-2012/    

Fulgurite’s tube structure also has implications for our spiritual body and advancement.  It is a pipeline to higher spiritual realms, and it creates a portal for inter-dimensional communication and energy transference.  One of its greatest gifts is that of spiritual attunement.  As spiritual seekers, we are working on raising our light quotients so that we can expand our dimensional access, and so that we can hold and radiate increasing levels of light.  Working with Fulgurite can give you an infusion of the next vibratory level of energy, so that your psychic and healing gifts 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 chann el 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! 

I’d like to share with you now a powerful Fulgurite attunement process, which will infuse your body and auric field with higher vibrational energies to quicken your spiritual gifts.  This is perfect to do on any of the power dates happening in May that I detailed in the first paragraph, as it will help in integrating the cosmic energies flooding the planet.  But keep in mind that it will work beautifully at any time that feels right for you. For this exercise, you’ll need three Fulgurites.  Before you begin, cleanse the Fulgurites. (For crystal cleansing instructions, you can view my new Youtube video: CLICK HERE.)  Then choose one of the Fulgurites to program wit h this intention, “I download into my bioenergetic system higher frequencies of light energies and codes, at the perfect levels that I can easily integrate, for the upgrading of my energetic circuitry and spiritual gifts. I take the process of activating my light body to the next level now.”  Simply hold the Fulgurite and repeat this statement between eight and twelve times, envisioning the energy of this intention pouring into the Fulgurite, where it will be stored and amplified.   

Now come into a comfortable, seated cross-legged position, with the other two Fulgurites on each knee. Hold the programmed Fulgurite at the heart. Take three full, deep breaths, and then do the breath of fire for about thirty seconds or for whatever amount of time is comfortable for you. Make sure your lips are closed and your diaphragm is relaxed, then breathe very rapidly and with equal focus on the inhale and exhale. The breath of fire activates the nervous system and all of your energy centers, purifies the blood and energy field, moves you into sync with yourself as all organs become rhythmically entrained, and it stimulates your pituitary gland. This will put you in the perfect space to receive an infusion of higher energies.

Hold the programmed Fulgurite above your head and start forming a vortex by making clockwise circles in the air.  Envision that this is a portal that connects with the higher dimensions, and your entire entourage of spirit guides exists on the other side of it.  Greet them and thank them for coming to support in this Fulgurite attunement process.  Next make about five clockwise circles over each chakra, beginning at the crown and ending at the root chakra, since five is the number of transformation.  As you do this, hold the intention in your mind that higher energies are flowing through the Fulgurite to transmute denser energies in the area and to activate the chakra, bringing it to a higher level of functioning.  If you are sensitive to energies, you will feel this happening!  

Now simply place the programmed Fulgurite on top of your head, touching the crown chakra. Then pick up Fulgurites on the knees, placing one in each palm.  Allow the Fulgurites to open and activate the chakras in your palms, so that you can channel higher levels of healing energies through your hands. You have just created a triangle formation of Fulgurites.  A triangular shape is perfect for manifesting your intentions and for integrating energies.  Now repeat aloud the statement that you programmed into the Fulgurite at your crown.  Then close your eyes, breathe normally, and feel all of your energy centers opening up and receiving the perfect mix of energies for your highest good and forward movement.  Meditate in this space for about fifteen minutes, and allow the synthesis to occur. 

There are many true stories of people developing amazing psychic abilities after they have been struck by lightening.  Working with Fulgurite is the safe and painless way to receive the en-lightening energies of lightening.   I wish you all a May filled with many personal breakthroughs and much illumination. If you fuse your power with Fulgurite, I will be shocked if you manifest anything less.

“Dear Adrienne, I am interested in making a crystal grid to help me with terrible insomnia and would appreciate any guidance you can give as far as particularly useful crystals and grid shape/placement for that.”  –D.M. 

Thank you for this important question–you are not alone. I’m noticing in my practice that sleep disturbances are on the rise lately.  This might be a side effect of recent intense cosmic energies and solar flares, which can heighten anxiety and amplify negative emotions as part of the purging process. We are shining light into some of our darkest internal places now, and the good news is that we can raise our vibration to new heights once we let go of these old patterns and stories. We are going through a lot, so take the time to love and nurture yourself.  Gentleness, compassion,  and self care are the keys to healing the root of all issues.  These are also the vibratory keys required to bring in a calming energy, conducive to sleep.   Luckily, there are several beautiful crystals that can act as a natural alternative to Ambien. I’ll share with you some of my favorites, along with some guidelines for creating a crystal grid to promote peaceful sleep.

As a general rule, stones in the light blue color ray have a natural calming effect to the body and to the emotions.  My favorite choice in the blue family for promoting peaceful sleep is Celestite. Celestite emits a sweet, soft, positive energy that gently encourages an internal sigh and a release of all that is troubling you. It naturally connects with the peace of the angelic realm and delivers their nurturing and loving energies to you.  With its sparkling yet gentle blue-grey color, it even looks like a slice of heaven.  Perfect for meditation, it elevates your consciousness and gives you a feeling of  carefree floating. It also can purify your bedroom environment, uplifting the energy so that you have an easier time relaxing on all levels.  I have slept with a Celestite on my bedside table for many years now, and I have enjoyed a decade of deep sleep, with many vivid dreams and astral travels.  Celestite is known to enhance your dream life, and my experience supports this.  

For sleep issues, it also makes sense to enlist the help of the lithium family, nature’s anti-anxiety and mood balancing mineral. Lepidolite has a high lithium content, and it is perfect to turn to for emotional help when life is becoming full of challenges. It can naturally relieve stress, anxiety, fear, depression, anger, or any of the lower emotional states that keep you wired.  Meditating with Lepidolite can bring you into a deeply relaxed state, where you can let go.  It also sends a clearing energy to all of the chakras and meridians, so that you can treat the energetic roots of the problem.  It is known to assist in curing insomnia and nightmares, as it wraps you in a serene bubble of light.

Prehnite is another one that I have kept on my bedside table for years, and it has gently rocked me to sleep time and time again.  It’s yellow-green color ray reminds me of lime sherbet, and its energy is that of calm satisfaction and peaceful joy.  If you are restless, nervous, or in mental overdrive, this stone will counteract that.  It is especially good for those of us who spin in our mental bodies when we are drifting off to sleep, trying to solve all kinds of problems or deal with potential futures that haven’t even arrived yet.  It also calms the heart and helps us to naturally tune into beings from other realms, especially the device realm, I’ve noticed.  

Moonstone might seem like an obvious choice, and it is perfect for escorting us gracefully into dream land.  It is very soothing to the emotional body, as it stabilizes erratic emotions and calms your response to emotional triggers.  It connects to the nurturing feminine vibration, intuition, and the cyclical nature of reality. And of course, it has been used throughout time to successfully treat sleeplessness.

There are so many wonderful stones to help us with sleep, and since you are asking about making a grid of several stones, let me just highlight a few more great options. Amethyst is wonderful for calming overactive mental energy and bringing in a higher energy of tranquility, purification, protection, and well-being. Danburite is a sparkling pink stone with a connection to higher dimensional realms.  It naturally brings a sense of peace to the subconscious mind and has been recommended as the perfect stone to place beneath your pillow to help you conk out.  Hematite is another one that I have used successfully beneath my pillow or by my bed to ground all of that erratic energy in my mental body so that I can get some z’s. Finally, Jade is known as the dream stone, and it brings in an energy of serenity, emotional clearing, and insightful dreams.  

Incorporating a group of the sleep aid stones together in a crystal grid would be a great way to create a powerful, calming forcefield.  After you select the ones that appeal to you the most, cleanse them with sage, running water, salt, moonlight, personal energy, or whichever method you like to use.  Then you will want to arrange them into a shape or pattern that resonates with your goal of producing a calming energy for sleep. I would suggest a circle or spiral pattern.  Circles emit an energy of wholeness, well-being, a nurturing feminine energy.  They also connect to natural cycles, such as the circadian rhythm. If you want to enhance your circle grid with a cute and appropriate touch, you could turn it into a peace sign.  A spiral grid would also be effective, because it helps you move into altered states of consciousness and brings you into a relaxed, meditative space.  Once you have placed the stones, you will want to activate your grid.  Simply state the intention of the grid aloud, then use a terminated Quartz or a Selenite as a wand to play “connect the dots.”  Pick one point on the grid to start with, and trace the pattern of the grid three times.  Sweet dreams!

Thank you so much for this very important question, and many blessings to you for the honorable work you have signed up to do!  The veterans you will work with are blessed to have you as a caring and enlightened source of healing. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a serious anxiety disorder resulting from exposure to severe psychological trauma, such as war, rape, or other forms of abuse. My heart goes out to those who suffer from PTSD, as it can cause flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbing, aggressive behaviors, avoidance of life, and interruption in sleep.  I would like to suggest three stones that I believe will be a great healing support for those with PTSD.

The first one that comes to mind is Nuummite, an ancient stone from Greenland that is dark with flashes of iridescent color.  One of the many gifts of Nuummite is that it can help us with soul-retrieval and clearing our etheric blueprint of injuries or traumas.  What I believe happens when we find ourselves in a serious traumatic experience, is that parts of our soul can splinter off due to the impact of the event.  We can actually lose parts of our soul energy to the trauma.  Perhaps this contributes to the flashbacks that people with PTSD experience, since part of them is literally still there, reliving the nightmare. Nuummite will help to bring those lost parts back so that they can be healed and reintegrated. Also, Nuummite does have a small lithium content, so this energy can help bring a calming effect to their emotional body. Just having the veterans carry Nuummite in their pockets will have a positive effect, and it will do this work on a sub tle, subconscious level.

The other stone that comes immediately to mind is Black Tourmaline.  Known as the etheric vacuum cleaner, this powerful stone will send its cleansing vibration throughout the entire energy system, transmuting any negative energy into positive and usable light.  It can also work to remove negative energy attachments that could have been picked up in during dark events. Having the veterans keep this stone on them will help them remain consistently clear and protected. 

One more suggestion seems appropriate for healing the heart and calming the emotions: Kunzite.  Kunzite is a beautiful, striated pink stone that has a high lithium content.  Stones with lithium in them are the best options for calming anxiety.  I know that when I start to feel anxious, placing Kunzite around my head and heart causes an immediate internal sigh and starts to bring me back down to a centered state.  Kunzite is perfect for helping those who have closed down their hearts to protect themselves from pain.  Its nourishing energies fill the heart with higher, divine love, while it gives you the message that it is safe to feel and to love again.  

 If you are working with a veteran who is open to alternative healing methods and who seems stable enough and ready to clear these traumas, here’s what I would suggest. Have them place a Nuummite on their forehead, a Kunzite on their heart, and a Black Tourmaline on their root chakra. Encourage them to relax and breathe. Call in God, Divine Source, or even Archangel Michael, who clears negative energy.  Tell them that they have all of the support from God and the power within to heal, and have them state out loud, “I now call back to me all of the pieces of my soul and all of my energy that has been lost.  I am healed, I am whole.”  The Nuummite will act as a magnet for bringing in lost soul fragments, clearing the trauma, and integrating the pieces.  Black Tourmaline will do its job to cleanse any negativity coming into the field.  And Kunzite will work to heal the heart and the emotional shock, bringing a calming and loving energy.   Keep the stones in place for at least fifteen minutes, and hold loving space for them.  Their higher self, the stones, and Divine spirit will do the work that they are ready to accomplish.  

If they respond well to this and are open to doing even more work, you might send them to a shamanistic practitioner or a healer who specializes in soul retrieval work.  From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for doing this incredibly important work! 

The world comes back to life and vibrancy when March brings us the spring equinox.  Here in the Texas Hill Country, the Devic realm plays its shining role, painting the hills with sapphire colored bluebonnets, ruby-red Indian paintbrushes, and other colorful varieties of wildflowers.  The weather is pristine, and the crystalline springs that flow through this land invite you to dip your feet in and release all of your worries for a spell.  We cannot help but be positively affected as the landscape around us bursts into beautiful life. Spring imprints us with the energies of rejuvenation, renewal, and abundance.  In ancient times, the spring equinox was celebrated in way that might seem familiar to us.  They hunted for eggs, which symbolize rebirth and Mother Earth.  They decorated with rabbit themes, since rabbit is a fertility symbol worldwide.  And giving a basket of goodies represented the abundance of the season.  Speaking of traditions, I believe that when they assigned Aquamarine as the birthstone for March thousands of years ago during the time of Moses, they knew what they were doing!  Historically considered to be the stone of happiness and everlasting youth, Aquamarine radiates refreshing energy that feels like a restorative visit to paradise or to the spa. Aquamarine will water your life into full springtime bloom on multiple levels with its uplifting and cleansing energy.

Aquamarine is a variety of beryl.  The beryl family expresses in almost all of the color rays and produces some of the most beautiful and highest quality healing gemstones on the planet, such as Emerald and Morganite.  Beryl’s internal crystalline structure expresses as such an aesthetically pleasing mandala, that I would consider hanging it on my wall as art. Its triangular silicate molecules link to form rings.  Circular patterns naturally radiate the energy of wholeness, unity, perfection, and divine feminine energy.  So it makes sense that beryl gemstones are generally some of the best around for healing and nourishing us, giving us a sense of well-being.  I love and recommend all beryl stones, however the one that has touched my heart the most with its pure and clear sentient energy is Aquamarine.  Aquamarine is a top choice for helping you to raise your vibration due to the many ways it can serve us.

Tuning into the ocean blue hues of Aquamarine can immediately encourage a feeling of peace, wellness, and relaxation, causing you to energetically sigh and let go of your burdens.  It has been called the stone of release, gently reassuring you that you can now let go of old grief, pain, stifling patterns, and heaviness from the past.  Aquamarine cleanses and purifies your energy, just like taking a swim in the ocean does. It helps to transmute these old energies, and in this way it brings lightness and a feeling of freedom.  The cooling blue Aquamarine energy is also very useful in crystal healing to counteract physical inflammations, such as tonsillitis, arthritis, skin irritation, irritable bowl syndrome, etc.  It can also be used to calm emotional and mental states, such as anger, jealousy, anxiety, or excess mental energy.  A nice side effect of a relaxed mind and emotions is that it becomes much easier to shift our consciousness higher and tune into our intuition. 

There is more to the energy of Aquamarine than its calming and cleansing effects.  I experience Aquamarine as being an activator of higher energy centers, a connector to higher dimensional beings, and an up-shifter through the joy vibration.  Most crystal healing experts report that Aquamarine is the perfect gemstone for activating the throat chakra, and I agree.  Its blue color ray and striated formation makes it a perfect match for clearing the throat of blockages, nourishing and opening your communication center, supporting the thyroid, and aligning your personal expression with your heart-felt truth.  But what I have noticed is that Aquamarine also works very harmoniously with the third eye, crown, and even etheric chakras. I sense an inherent consciousness in Aquamarine that is so incredibly beautiful, special, and high.  This consciousness has a sparkling and joyful quality to it. When I tune in, I feel an uplifting burst of energy that reminds me of the uncontrollable smile on your face and the heart opening you receive when you are in the presence of wild dolphins leaping, playing, and raising the vibration around them through their motions.  In fact, I would go as far as saying that I believe Aquamarine has a direct connection with higher dolphin consciousness. I have also gotten the message that you can work with Aquamarine to tune into your higher self, the fifth dimensional realm, and the paradise reality paradigm.  By meditating with Aquamarine on your third eye or crown chakra, you can activate your psychic abilities and connect with these radiant beings and higher realms.  If you work with sound healing, toning, or channeling messages, wear an Aquamarine necklace.  In addition to activating your throat chakra, it will also connect you to these higher spiritual energies so that you can use them for healing and up-shifting the energy of your clients.  Remember, dolphins can heal through sound and sonar vibration.

Aquamarine has also historically been known as the fountain of youth stone.  I believe that this anti-aging effect can be achieved, if we tap into the inherent higher consciousness and light in Aquamarine and enlist its help in working with the endocrine system for rejuvenation.  As we move through time, our glands begin to weaken. This causes secreted hormone levels to decrease, which deteriorates the functionality of all of our organs and cells. I like this quote from the YoungAgainForever website:  “If we can find a way to keep our hormones flowing, and the glands working at the optimum level throughout the span of our lives, we would have found the fountain of youth.”  

My belief is that we can begin consciously working with our bodies through love, intention, and positive action.  Many secrets lie in our “junk” DNA and in the parts of our anatomy that are multidimensional.  If we can flow higher frequencies of light into our bodies, I believe that processes can be activated to produce longevity and a highly tuned bio-energetic system.  It starts with self-love, taking care of our bodies, owning our mastery, and focusing on the outcome.  Your body and soul have an intelligence that can make it so!  I completely resonate with Melody, author of “Love is in the Earth,” when she says that Aquamarine can balance and fortify the glands.  I would like to suggest a simple crystal layout, using three small Aquamarines, an Amethyst, sound, and intention.  It is designed to nourish and energize your pineal, pituitary, and thyroid glands while programming your body to begin a rejuvenation process. 

Begin by cleansing the stones, and then find a comfortable space where you can lie down.  You will need two pillows, one for your head to lie on and one that you can place above your head, so that you can position a stone on it and have it aligned directly with your crown chakra.  Then call in your higher self, the Divine Source, and any spiritual beings you like to work with.  If you work with the Golden Dolphins or higher dolphin consciousness, they would love to assist you in this exercise. You might send a call out to any spiritual technicians that work with the body, and also call forth your body consciousness.  Start taking some nice, deep, cleansing breaths, then tune into your body and send it love.  You can visualize yourself inside of a pink bubble of light that permeates your body.  Open your heart and thank your body for all that it does to serve you, washing it in sincere gratitude.  Feel free to send extra love to any areas of the body that you sense need extra support.

Now you will activate your throat chakra and thyroid, as well as your third eye and pituitary glands, with sound, stones, and intention.  Hold the three Aquamarines in your left hand, and then tone the sound “hum” three times.  This sound activates and tunes the throat chakra. While you are making this sound, visualize the throat chakra bathed in pure Aquamarine energy while it gracefully opens and radiates beautiful sky-blue light.  Now hold the Amethyst in your right hand, and then tone the “om” sound three times to activate the third eye chakra.  Visualize the third eye being flooded with Amethyst energy while you are toning, and see it open and beaming purple light.  If you are sensitive to energies, you might feel these energy centers humming and opening as you do this. 

Next you will place the stones.  Place one Aquamarine on the pillow you will lie on, so that it will be in the center of the back of your head.  Place another Aquamarine on the pillow that is above your head, so that it touches your crown chakra at the top and center of your head.  Place the last Aquamarine on your throat chakra, at the base of your neck.  Finally, place the Amethyst on your third eye, in the center of your forehead.  What you have just created is a skewed diamond shape of stones in a vertical plane, or you can think of it as a cross.  The combined energy of these stones will flow into your chakras and begin treating your thyroid, pituitary, and pineal glands.  To strengthen this, you can visualize your thyroid gland in your neck being encased in a crystalline octahedron or diamond shape of nourishing Aquamarine energies.  Also visualize an Aquamarine octahedron around the pituitary gland, located directly in the center of the head, and the pineal gland, slightly above and behind the pituitary gland.  It’s OK if you cannot perfectly picture this, as your intention is what makes it so. 

Now align with your soul and take your power to create healing and rejuvenation in your body.  State aloud at least three times, “I command my endocrine system to come into its highest level of functioning for my highest good now.  My body is rejuvenating now.”  The Amethyst at the third eye connects with Divine energies and has the appropriate molecular structure to hold this powerful statement as a program.  The Aquamarines will work to invigorate all three glands and flow in higher dimensional light and rejuvenating energy.  Breathe deeply and spend some time visualizing your body becoming younger and more vibrant, inside and out.  See all of your cells being bathed in rejuvenating energy, and alter your physical appearance in your mind to look more youthful. In this way, you are sending your body a new program of the renewal and vitality you are now creating.  Leave the stones in place for a minimum of fifteen minutes, then remove and cleanse the stones. 

I would suggest doing this exercise at least once a week for four weeks, but you can repeat it more times if you get the intuitive feeling to do so.  You can also carry the Aquamarines and Amethyst with you in your pocket or in a medicine pouch to support this process throughout the day.  Place them on your bedside table at night to continue receiving the energies while you sleep.  A perfect companion technique is the “Beryl Rejuvenation Potion” that I present in my book, “Crystal Healing for the Whole Being.” The ancient philosopher, Pliny, made this poetic statement about Aquamarine, “The lovely Aquamarine, which seems to have come from some mermaid’s treasure house, in the depths of the summer sea, has charms not to be denied.”  When I gaze into my beautiful, faceted Aquamarine ring, I feel magical undercurrents that hint at the treasures buried in me, and I couldn’t agree more!
