			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>Did you know that April has been officially named &#8220;Stress Awareness Month?&#8221;  It seems appropriate, as millions of Americans tackle their taxes this month.  Stress is certainly an issue that we deal with, as the pace of life continues to accelerate in our already over-scheduled realities.  Being stressed not only affects our mental and emotional well-being, but it also permeates down into the cellular level and can have serious consequences for our health.  When stress hormones flood our bloodstream, they spike our blood pressure, heart rate, and glucose levels.  Hormonal responses to stress also suppress the immune system and inhibit proper digestion.  Many people live in chronic stress, and sometimes the causes of the stress aren&#8217;t going away anytime soon.  While you can&#8217;t always control or change stressful situations, you can learn how to manage your response. Lithium Quartz is one of my favorite crystals for moving into the peaceful flow of the higher dimensions and clearing the energetic roots of stress, anxiety, and fear.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Lithium-Q1.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Lithium-Q1-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Lithium Q1" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-760" /></a> Lithium Quartz is a high vibration Quartz crystal that contains a powerful combination of Lithium, Manganese, Iron, Aluminum and Kaolinite inclusions, giving this crystal a  pinkish grey or lavender color.  All of these work together synergistically to make Lithium Quartz a stress-busting powerhouse. Stones with a Lithium content are nature&#8217;s version of Paxil.  They bring us back to center and help to eliminate feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, worry, and fear.  Lithium stones also have the ability to activate the third eye, tuning us 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, 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 can assist us in processing and clearing problematic life situations, while bringing a smoother flow.  Since all of these calming, balancing, and healing minerals are inside of Quartz, their properties are strengthened and amplified, making their combined energy greater than it otherwise would be. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/100_16281.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/100_16281-300x224.jpg" alt="" title="100_1628" width="300" height="224" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-767" /></a>I am a person who is naturally prone to anxiety and an overly active mental body. Lithium Quartz is the first crystal I turn to when I feel these frenetic states coming on.  As I am writing this article, I have actually secured the Lithium Quartz, that is pictured to the left, directly over my third eye.  What I initially notice is that my breath naturally starts to slow down and smooth out any time that I do this.   Just this simple act of encouraging deeper breathing starts to bring a sense of calming relief.  I also feel my mental energy and thoughts slowing down&#8211;it&#8217;s a sense of coming back to center.  Then I start feeling waves of pleasant energy washing over my third eye, and then reverberating through my entire body.  It&#8217;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.  The Lithium Quartz vibration can feel as if you are immersed in a pink bubble of blissful, higher dimensional energy. It lifts your consciousness beyond lower emotional and mental states to a realm of peace and harmony.   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.<br /><br />There is definitely a sense of energetic housecleaning and higher attunement with Lithium Quartz.  It can transmute and release negative attachments and energetic patterns from any chakra or energy center in the body.  This makes Lithium Quartz the perfect, versatile tool for healers, who can place them anywhere on the body where discordant energy is sensed.  It will clear the disharmony, while bringing in positive, healing, higher dimensional light.  Lithium Quartz gets you in touch with your higher heart and higher mind, helping you to come from your higher self perspective.  It is very useful as a meditation tool.  Lithium stones naturally calm you down and activate your third eye.  So when you meditate with Lithium Quartz on your third eye, it is easier to see visions and to receive information and guidance from higher sources.  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.  <br /><br />If you are among those of us who are experiencing any form of stress or overwhelm this month, I would like to suggest a Lithium Quartz stress clearing activity.  You will need at least two, but preferably three, Lithium Quartz crystals.  Before you begin, cleanse the crystals and call in spirit to guide and support you. Put on some very calm and beautiful music, then come into a relaxed, reclined position.  If you have three Lithium Quartz crystals, place one on your third eye chakra, at the center of your forehead, and one over the center of your chest at the heart chakra.  You will hold the other in your dominant hand.  If you have only two Lithium Quartz crystals, place one on either your third eye or your heart, depending on which center you feel needs it most.  Then hold the other Lithium Quartz in your dominant hand.  Start by taking several long, deep, centering breaths.  If you are in a state of panic or anxiety, focus on making the exhale even longer than the inhale.  This signals your body to begin calming down.  Begin to consciously relax all of your muscles, beginning at your head and moving down to your feet.  Allow yourself to be bathed in the peaceful, pleasant Lithium Quartz energy.<br /><br />Once you feel as relaxed as possible, you are going to use the breath and Lithium Quartz to expel stress from your body.  Begin by bringing into your awareness a situation or thought that is triggering stress, worry, or anxiety in you.  (For example, &#8220;My taxes are due in a few weeks!&#8221;) See if you can tune in and feel where this energy is residing in your body.  Now hold the Lithium Quartz that is in your hand a few inches from your face.  Take a very deep breath, and imagine that you are gathering all of the energy of this stressor into a ball in the diaphragm area.  Hold your breath, and collect all of this energy.  Then forcefully exhale through the mouth, consciously sending this stress energy out of your body and into the Lithium Quartz.  Check in with yourself and see if there are any more situations that are causing a stress response, and repeat this technique to clear them all.  Once you have cleared as much stress as you can, return to normal breathing. Allow yourself to float in a meditative space, and be open to receiving any energy, messages, and advice from the higher realms.  End the meditation by imagining yourself fully encased in a pure, pink bubble of Lithium Quartz energy, surrounding you at least twelve feet in all directions.  Seal this bubble in gold, and then open your eyes.  To continue to receive the peaceful, higher dimensional energies of Lithium Quartz, you can use medical tape or a bandaid to secure Lithium Quartz to the center of your heart or over your forehead.  Be sure to throughly cleanse the Lithium Quartz that collected your stress.  Wishing you all a relaxing April, and remember this profound quote:  &#8221;The time to relax is when you don&#8217;t have time for it.&#8221; &#8211;Anonymous.  <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/100_1628.jpg"></a>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>&#8220;Dear Adrienne,<br /><br />Which crystals do you recommend to help with consciously reprogramming the negative mind?&#8221;<br /><br />T.G.<br /><br />Receiving a question like this makes me so happy, because achieving this can significantly improve our quality of life.  The reality we experience is a result of our dominant thought  patterns.  They form a blueprint for what we draw into our experience, acting as energetic magnets that attract life situations of the same vibration.  So there is great power in discovering which thought patterns are creating negative results in our lives, which ones bring us down.  It is best to be gentle when we catch ourselves in negative mental states, because many times these patterns aren&#8217;t even ours.  We absorb so much from the collective consciousness, society, the media, authority figures, and family units.  The good news is that, once we are able to become aware of the negative thought patterns and catch ourselves running these programs, we are in a place of power to shift these into something more beneficial.  We can work with our mental energies to project thoughts and ideas that resonate with beautiful higher qualities, which is a key to creating a higher dimensional lifestyle full of love, joy, and expansion.  In fact, I believe that this is one of the main reasons we have incarnated at this time:  to take our power as creator beings and to help shift the entire reality of Earth to a kind and loving space that honors all.  I&#8217;d like to suggest three members of the mineral kingdom that can assist us in reprogramming the negative mind, moving us into a brighter existence.   <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BT-in-Q-skull.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/BT-in-Q-skull-300x224.jpg" alt="" title="BT in Q skull" width="300" height="224" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-743" /></a>Black Tourmaline in Quartz is my favorite option for transmuting lower thought patterns.  Anytime you find Quartz that has Black Tourmaline inside of it, you have found a powerful combination stone for clearing out lower energies of any kind from the aura and chakras, while making repairs to your energy body.  Crystal expert, Robert Simmons, calls Black Tourmaline &#8220;the etheric vacuum cleaner.&#8221; It can actually transmute negative thought forms, lower vibrating emotional states, EMF&#8217;s from technology, psychic attack, or any destructive energetic debris or vibrations.  It can clear every layer of your auric field and bio-energetic body, transforming lower energy into positive and pure light.  Clear Quartz also brings in pure white light, and it has an amplifying effect that strengthens Black Tourmaline&#8217;s clearing and transmuting abilities.  Black Tourmaline in Quartz has a grounding effect that brings you back into balance and helps to rid you of outside influences.  It moves you back into your inherent, centered state of well-being.  From this space, it is much easier to tune into your own higher voice and establish it as the dominant program that runs your life.  The Quartz can then be deliberately programmed with your conscious intentions, and it will naturally amplify them to assist in more rapid manifestation of joyful living.  Instructions to follow!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/417684_2902479433498_1908437176_n.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/417684_2902479433498_1908437176_n-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="417684_2902479433498_1908437176_n" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-744" /></a> Citrine, the sunshine crystal, is another radiant option for clearing out the negative and adopting a positive and empowered frame of mind.  Like the sun, Citrine beams out happy, life-giving energy that can burn away and transmute clouds of negativity that affect our mental and emotional bodies.  It is especially effective for self-destructive tendencies, depression, anger, and fear, and it can make us less sensitive to negative influences in our environment.  Citrine is a stone of optimism and confidence, empowering a &#8220;can-do&#8221; attitude and your ability manifest wonderful things.  It naturally resonates with abundance, and it focuses our mind in a way to bring in blessings, success, and good things.  Since it is in the Quartz family, it also has the ability to amplify energies and to hold programs.<br /><br /><div class="mceTemp" draggable=""><dl id="attachment_746" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 247px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/474px-Apophyllite1.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/474px-Apophyllite1-237x300.jpg" alt="" title="474px-Apophyllite" width="237" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-746" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Photo credit: Photolitherland, Wikipedia</dd></dl></div> <br />Apophyllite is purifying stone with sparkling qualities that works with the higher mental and spiritual centers. Beautiful to behold, Apophyllite often expresses in pyramid or cube shapes, in clear or green colors, and has a high water content.  It connects us with higher spiritual dimensions, thoughts, and energies and grounds these into the physical body so that we can work with them here.  Perhaps partially due to the water content, Apophyllite is cleansing to the mind, helping us to let go of lower thought patterns and mental blocks. It is especially good at assisting us in releasing busy mind chatter or judgmental thoughts from our ego that would otherwise block us from connecting with higher mind activity originating from the soul level. It has this same cleansing effect on the emotional body, assisting in the release of anxiety, worry, and suppressed feelings.   Once this clearing is done, Apophyllite gives us an infusion of higher energies, bringing in a fresh and bright outlook from an expanded perspective.  <br /><br />All of these suggested crystals can be programmed with your intentions for releasing negative mental patterns and establishing a healthier mental body.  They have the proper molecular structure to hold whatever thought forms you place in them, and to amplify these.  I suggest programming your stones to assist you in releasing the mental programs that no longer serve you, and also in adopting new ones that enliven you.  Or you could program specific thought patterns that you would like to embrace directly into the stones.  For instance, if you catch yourself having a specific negative thought that you don&#8217;t like, you could program the exact opposite thought into your crystal. Here are the simple steps for programming:<br /><br />1.  Develop a present tense affirmation that describes the desired state.  Some examples:  <br />&#8220;I have established new, positive, healthy thought patterns and have released all of those that no longer serve my highest good.&#8221;<br />&#8220;I see the positive in all situations and people, and I respond in the highest possible ways.&#8221;<br />&#8220;My mind is aligned with my heart and soul, and my good attitude shines through in all of my actions.&#8221; <br />&#8220;I am a beautiful person, inside and out.&#8221; <br /><br />2.  Clear your energy, get into a good-feeling state, and call in spirit and your higher self to guide the process.<br /><br />3.  Ask the crystal for permission.  Crystals are alive, so it is good manners to respect them as the conscious beings that they are and to express the essence of the energy that you would like to program.  Then be open to a response from the crystal.  If it is on board, you will likely feel positive emotions or you will hear it say &#8220;yes&#8221; in your mind.  If you get any sense of resistance, then you might ask another crystal for permission.<br /><br />4.  Cleanse your crystal using whatever method you desire.  (Sage, running water, burying in salt, sunlight or moonlight, sound, with your energy and intention, etc.) <br /><br />5.  Place the crystal in your dominant hand, and then speak or mentally project your affirmation into the crystal.  You may also want to simultaneously hold a vision in your mind of what you are creating.  Repeat several times until you feel a click or shift, or get the message that the crystal has taken the program.  Normally, a crystal will be successfully programmed after you repeat the affirmation between eight and twelve times. You can always check with a pendulum to make sure the crystal has taken the program.  <br /><br />Once you have programmed your crystal, you can carry it with you in your purse, pocket, or medicine pouch, allowing it to work continuously to affect your energy and consciousness.  Also, place it on your bedside table while you are sleeping.  Perhaps the most powerful way to benefit is to spend some regular time meditating with your crystal on your third eye.  Focus on your chosen affirmation, and then spend some time making your thoughts as positive and beautiful as possible.  Think about all of the blessings and good things that you have in your life, and this will reinforce a positive mental state and attract in more good.  Once you feel like you are fully embodying a healthy mental state, you might want to remove the program from your crystal.  Simply revisit the last step and, instead of repeating your intention, say: “The program is now removed.”  Thank you again for this very important question, and may your thoughts create beauty in you and all around you.  <br /><br /><br /><br />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>I think I have an energetic allergy to brooms, mops, Mr. Clean, and SOS pads.  Just the thought of my cleaning supplies makes me dizzy and weak, and I find that I just can&#8217;t seem to get off the couch.  But once I move through the resistance and actually put these things to use in my home, I feel like a brand new person in a brand new space.  Sprucing up your living environment is always a good start to feeling clearer, but what about spring cleaning for the soul?  Now is a good time to really use some elbow grease and get after those dusty corners of your auric field.  It&#8217;s time to sort through all of those old experiences and traumas and get rid of the clutter.  And a little rearranging of the big pieces might create a much better internal feng shui and energy flow. If all of this sounds too daunting to do alone, might I suggest calling for crystalline back-up? Covellite, also called the blue healer, is a metallic, indigo stone that has a powerful vacuum cleaner effect for your mind, body, and spirit.  Not only does it help clear out what no longer serves; it can also heal underlying patterns of distortion and move you into the higher spectrums of reality.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/covellite-rough.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/covellite-rough-300x296.jpg" alt="" title="covellite rough" width="300" height="296" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-725" /></a>Covellite is an essential powerhouse stone for those on a spiritual path, and investigating its physical and chemical features explains why we can all benefit from working with it.  It is a copper-based stone, and stones with a copper content have a natural ability to pull out stuck energy, unhealthy mental and physical patterns, emotional traumas, and any lower energy that no longer serves us.  They also promote energy flow through the chakras and meridians.  In this way, they are Gaia&#8217;s gift for auric clearing and maintenance.  Covellite&#8217;s color rays are as deep, electric, and mystical as its powers.  Most specimens that you see are in the dark indigo family, with a metallic sheen.  Sometimes you also get hints of a purple-rose iridescence, as in my beautiful piece (pictured here).  Indigo, copper-based stones have a specialty of activating and clearing the higher chakras and spiritual levels of the being, getting to the karmic root of issues that are plaguing you on the physical, mental, and emotional levels.  That is why Covellite is prized as a healing and meditation tool.  It can activate your third eye and higher understanding of why certain situations have manifested in your life based on your entire soul history. Covellite then brings in higher dimensional healing energy to transform these patterns once and for all. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/covellite-sphere.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/covellite-sphere-293x300.jpg" alt="" title="covellite sphere" width="293" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-726" /></a>Covellite is the blue healer, because it has the vibrational flexibility that allows it to connect to the highest levels of the being, while also getting down to the gross physical level and assisting with healing miracles in the body.  Covellite is a godsend when you are facing cancer.  According to Crystal Expert, Melody, &#8220;This mineral has been used in the treatment of cancer, to stimulate disordered cells to re-order themselves and to purge any toxins from within the body.&#8221;  I have personally seen Covellite help a client to beat cancer, and I believe that it has a similar level of effectiveness with other serious illnesses that have a karmic cause.  Meditate with Covellite on the third eye, while holding the intention that you want to see and heal the root cause of an illness. The copper inside of Covellite will begin to draw the emotional or mental pattern to the surface of your awareness so that it can be released. I highly suggest placing Covellite over an area of the body that requires healing.  You can begin to feel its energy permeating into the cellular level, infusing higher energy.  And if you <em>really</em> tune in, you can feel a tangible sensation of reordering and restructuring happening, as if energetic building blocks are being stacked and placed into a stronger foundation.  It&#8217;s a feeling of coming into wholeness, of establishing the blueprint for healing firmly within you.  <br /><br />Covellite strongly activates your third eye and intuitive abilities, and it is a perfect stone to support psychics and healers in bringing their work to a higher level. It can be worked with to explore your Akashic records.  With the help of Covellite, you can journey to other lifetimes on this planet, and even in other realms, so that you can connect with your gifts and integrate other aspects of  yourself.  Because Covellite has a grounding quality that can bridge the higher realms and physical reality; it can activate abilities you had in other existences, so that you can work with them here.  Perhaps you discover a lifetime where you were artistic.  Covellite can help you to tap into the part of your etheric DNA where these skills are stored, so that they can begin to express in your current life.  <br /><br />If you would like to invoke the help of the blue healer, here is a wonderful exercise you can do to scan your body and clear old patterns.  You will need one Covellite stone, that you should cleanse before and after you work with it.  Lie down in a comfortable position, and then place the Covellite on the center of your forehead at the third eye point.  Focus on your breathing and take several nice, deep breaths, allowing yourself to relax and come into a meditative state.  Call upon your higher self, and feel the love and higher energy coming in and connecting with you.  Bask in this feeling.  Now ask your higher self and the Covellite to assist you in tuning into your body.  Hold the intention that you are doing a scan to discover if there are any areas of the body that are holding lower vibrating patterns or illness that is no longer serving you.  Allow the information to come in any way that you can best receive it.  Some of us are visual.  If this is you, you might try visualizing yourself floating above your body and seeing if there are any areas that stand out as being shadowed or having a physical indication of blockage.  Some of us feel things in our body, so you might feel a heat, tingling, or a twitching sensation in an area.  If you have developed clairaudience, or the ability to hear messages, your higher self might tell you where you have a blockage or an issue in your body.  Or you might just know.  The trick is to trust whatever is coming to you.  <br /><br />Once you have an idea of where you are storing lower energy, hold this intention:  &#8221;I am ready now to understand what this is about, to release the root cause.  Please reveal to me what I need to consciously understand for complete healing to occur.&#8221;   Take some more deep breaths, and just allow your higher self and the Covellite to surface what you need to know.  You might have a memory surface from this life or another life that will reveal to you the energetic, emotional or belief pattern you have been holding.  You might just get a subtle feeling or knowing.  Advice or guidance about how to shift it might also come to you.  Be sure to take note and follow through with any ideas you might receive. It is also possible that you might not get anything significant on a conscious level, and that is OK, too.  Trust that you are creating healing for yourself, and that it is unfolding perfectly for your highest good.   <br /><br />Now that you have more information, you are ready to begin healing this area.  Place the Covellite directly over the area where you sensed the blockage, illness, or lower vibrating energy.  Place your hands over the Covellite, and allow healing energy to flow.  You can ask your higher self and any other spiritual helpers to assist with divine intervention, healing, and highest good. Breathe and just be present, noticing what you notice.  You might actually sense the lower energy being absorbed by the Covellite, or perhaps you will feel an infusion of higher healing energy permeating down into the cellular level.  Leave the stone in place for at least fifteen minutes at a time.  You can repeat this last step on a daily basis if you are facing a health challenge.  Allow Covellite to assist you with your deep cleaning, and I know your life will sparkle in new ways.<br />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>&#8220;Dear Adrienne,<br /><br />I am really ready to find a romantic partner.  I know that men are visual creatures, so I was wondering if there are any crystals that can bring out my inner beauty or help me to be more attractive to the opposite sex?  I couldn&#8217;t find much when I tried to look this up myself, so I thought I&#8217;d ask if you have any suggestions.&#8221;  <br /><br />&#8211;R.F.<br /><br />We live in a culture that is fixated on physical beauty, and what&#8217;s interesting is that beauty really is a state of mind.  Have you ever had a day where you just felt really good and happy, and you noticed that you got more attention from strangers than usual?  Maybe you put on a new shirt that you liked, and you noticed more people looking at you, smiling, or even saying hello during your shopping trip to Target.  Or have you ever known a person who doesn&#8217;t have traditionally beautiful or handsome features; but because they exude such radiant and  captivating energy, they are constantly surrounded by admirers?  It just goes to show you that positive energy and feeling good can literally make you more attractive, because people want to be around somebody who naturally shines.  Crystals are perfect for helping you to keep your energy and attitude light and uplifted.  Another factor in beauty is physical health, and crystals can assist in neutralizing damaging toxins and in fortifying all systems of the body so that you glow from the inside out.  I do believe that regular and dedicated work with certain crystals can assist you in making subtle and real physical improvements that you can see in the mirror.  They can assist in balancing and boosting the endocrine system, which can contribute to weight loss and to slowing down, or even reversing, the effects and signs of aging.  Here are my top three crystal picks for helping you align with your true beauty.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/opal.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/opal-300x224.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image2222210" width="300" height="224" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-707" /></a>Opal is a magical stone of rainbow iridescence that can help you to become as enchanting as it is.  Opals express in all color rays and have many appearances: milky, translucent, banded, sparkly, fiery, even jelly-like.  With all of these variations, one thing that all Opals have in common is their intoxicating beauty, making them a prized gemstone in many ancient civilizations.   Opals have been said to increase many things, such as love, power, fortune, healing, psychic vision, imagination, and luck.  Ancient lore also says that Opals bring out and enhance the beauty of the wearer, and this makes sense based on its properties. Any stone with a flashy, iridescent quality will naturally uplift your heart, mood, and energy, elevating you to a happy, high vibrational place.  And this is what makes you truly attractive to others. Since Opal is Quartz-based and has a water content, this also makes it an extra-powerful energy absorber and amplifier that can hold programs.  So the magical key of this gemstone is to use it in deliberate ways and with intention.  I would suggest choosing a special and beautiful Opal ring that really captivates you with its radiant energy and colors, and dedicate it to bringing out your true inner beauty.  You can even program this into the stone by repeating this intention as a present tense affirmation at least eight to twelve times.  Then, before you start each day, gaze into your beautiful Opal and allow the vibrant colors and energy to transport your emotional state and consciousness to the higher realms of joy. Spend a moment appreciating something beautiful about yourself, perhaps the wise spirit in your eyes or the generosity in your smile.  Each time you do this, you strengthen and reinforce your intention, and you assist and empower your Opal to amplify and highlight your most beautiful features for all others to admire.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/dreamstime_17988644.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/dreamstime_17988644-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="dreamstime_17988644" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-710" /></a>Aquamarine, a treasured gem in many cultures, has historically been associated with beauty, purification, and the ocean. According to folklore, it was found in the mermaid&#8217;s jewelry box.  Aquamarine has a calming and uplifting effect, raising your vibration and helping you to easily move into the higher flows.  It is known as the stone of release. It helps you to let go of grief, pain, stifling patterns, and heaviness that you&#8217;ve collected throughout the years, so that your beautiful soul essence can shine through and be seen.  Aquamarine is a beautifying stone because of its ability to purify on physical and energetic levels, and also because it heals, balances, and fortifies the endocrine system.  It carries the cleansing power of water, which can be applied to pollutants and toxins we are exposed to that accelerate aging and damage.  It strengthens the cleansing organs of the body, so that we can more easily release these harmful agents.  Aquamarine boosts the glands of the body, strengthening the thyroid, pituitary, and pineal.  Therefore, you can work with Aquamarine over the throat and forehead on a regular basis to balance the hormones, boost the metabolism, and activate your spiritual gifts.  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.”  Perhaps this is why Aquamarine has been known as the fountain of youth stone.  I would wear Aquamarine daily as a pendant, so that it is in close proximity to the thyroid gland.  And if you are interested in gradually reducing or reversing the signs of aging, I would try the Beryl Rejuvenation Potion technique that I share in my book, <em>Crystal Healing for the Whole Being. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/dreamstime_xs_3630661.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/dreamstime_xs_3630661-300x211.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image3630661" width="300" height="211" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-716" /></a></em>Amber, a fossilized resin from ancient pine trees, embodies the warmth and life-giving qualities of the sun.  Revered as medicine in many cultures throughout time, Amber was also known to enhance beauty.  It magnifies the qualities that makes the wearer attractive.  Amber acts in a magnetic way.  For instance, if you rub Amber against wool, it will attract paper.  So perhaps Amber&#8217;s power of attraction will rub off on you!  It is this same magnetic quality that gives Amber another of its helpful powers:  the ability to draw out negative energy from the physical, emotional, and mental bodies and to help transmute it into positive energy.  In this way, it brings a sense of well-being and wholeness as it helps you to become more radiant and joyful.  Amber has been known to work on the endocrine and digestive systems.  With these systems highly functioning, you become teeming with life force energy and alluring vitality.  I would suggest carrying Amber with you as a loose stone that you can touch and rub throughout the day.  Rubbing a piece of Amber seems to activate its powers in a way that you can literally feel as bursts of positive healing energy.  I hope you enjoy working with these beautifying stones and recognize them as mirrors, reflecting to you your own enchanting beauty.  <em><br /></em><br /><br />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>February perfumes the air with roses and turns our attention to matters of the heart.  No matter what your relationship status says on Facebook, I like to think of Valentine&#8217;s Day as an inclusive celebration of love, in all of its beautiful forms and expressions. Love is the highest vibration in existence.  If there is one universal goal that is written into each soul contract, I believe that it says we are here to open our hearts, to expand love, and to experience deeper and greater levels of love.  We enter into the Earth plane with fresh hearts that are open and trusting, but inevitably we run into negative experiences and emotional traumas.  And many times we stuff the energy of these experiences deep within ourselves, where they create subconscious patterns that can block the highest and truest expression of our hearts. If we want our lives to be a living love letter from the Universe, we have to face these old hurts and to release them from ourselves. Sting preached it this way: &#8221;If you love somebody, set them free!&#8221;  I say, If you love yourself, set yourself free!   Rhodochrosite is a crystalline key for the liberation of your heart chakra.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Rhodochrosite.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Rhodochrosite-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image15442038" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-684" /></a>Rhodochrosite looks like a Valentine, with its whimsical swirls and banded patterns that express in varying shades of pink.  It can also contain yellow, orange, brown, and gray color rays, and it can be partially or completely translucent.  Its beautiful appearance gives us a lot of insight into its energetic and healing functions.  Most Rhodochrosite stones have distinct layers.  And encapsulated inside of these bands, you can often find sections of beautiful, circular patterns (see photo).  You may have heard the analogy that an emotional injury is like a layered onion, and you have to peel off the layers, one by one, to reach and heal the core pattern. The primary color, pink, resonates with the vibration of love and the heart chakra.  Notice in the photo that the deeper shades of pink in Rhodochrosite have a more transparent quality.  This reflects the clarity that exists when you are in the deeper levels of love, and it symbolizes the ability of this stone to clear the heart chakra.  Most Rhodochrosite also has a yellow-orange tint to it, which (according to crystal expert, Katrina Raphaell) brings in the energy of the solar plexus chakra and bridges the heart and the will centers.  This is key to Rhodochrosite&#8217;s functioning, because the solar plexus can be thought of as the guard of the heart chakra.  If this area is blocked by old fears and hurts, then the heart chakra is not supported in staying open and expressive.  Once the solar plexus is clear, it can blend with the heart and bring in the energy of empowerment and manifestation to the emotional body. So to summarize, Rhodochrosite helps us get through the layers and into the root patterns of the heart chakra, it can clear on these deep levels, and it can empower the expression of emotions. <br /><br />When I connect with the inherent consciousness of Rhodochrosite, I am greeted by a tender and encouraging being.  Rhodochrosite touches you on very deep and pure levels, reminding you how precious you truly are.  It adores you so that you can remember how to adore yourself.  When you engage Rhodochrosite for heart healing, it sheds its sweet light into any densities in the heart, cutting through old, pent-up emotions.  As Rhodochrosite helps to surface these, it holds your hand and brings in the forgiveness vibration.  This helps you to see the higher love and lessons in each situation, which is the key to healing and releasing.  Rhodochrosite then helps to gently mend any holes or damage to the energetic areas where the release occurred, normally in region of the heart through the solar plexus chakras. Upon releasing in this way, it is common to feel an exuberant rush of joy that is a symptom of newly liberated emotional energy.  Rhodochrosite then supports you in feeling safe to express this energy in beautiful ways. It gets you in touch with your higher self and your authentic feeling nature, and it helps to bring the love vibration of your soul into every aspect of your life. You might find that you are more spontaneous with your expression, sharing your feelings with ease and trusting that you will be cherished, just like a child does. <br /><br />That is why, after achieving heart healing with Rhodochrosite, I suggest wearing Rhodochrosite jewelry.  It will continually encourage you with the message that it is safe to share your emotions and to be vulnerable. Many times the restrictions we created in our emotional body occurred because we weren&#8217;t able to express how we were really feeling at the time.  Instead, we shoved that emotional energy down in an attempt to forget about it and move on. Rhodochrosite is a wonderful support when you need to &#8220;get something off your chest.&#8221;  It helps you to deliver your message in the highest and most loving ways, so that the other people involved feel honored. In this way, it supports you in keeping your heart clear and vibrant and in maintaining the healing progress you have made.  <br /><br />Here is a simple and powerful exercise designed to free your heart, called the Rhodochrosite Release.  You will need one Rhodochrosite stone, which you should cleanse before and after the layout.  Call in your higher self and any spirit helpers you like to work with, and ask for perfect support, guidance, and healing.  Lie down and place the Rhodochrosite beneath your sternum, between the heart and solar plexus chakras, and then place a bubble of protective white light around you.  Breathe and tune into the loving, supportive energy of the Rhodochrosite, and ask it to help you surface an old memory or emotional situation that has been holding you back.  This can be something that happened to you as a child or an adult, or even in a past life, that has been blocking you from expressing your true radiance.  Allow it to bubble up from the subconscious, and witness what you are feeling.  Take your power to shift this out of your field.  Send love and forgiveness to that version of yourself and to all others involved, flood the scene with light, and alter it in any way you&#8217;d like.  Then ask spirit to help you place the energy of this event into a bubble, and send it to the light to be recycled. End by placing your hands over the Rhodochrosite, and infuse pure love and light into this area.  You can repeat this meditation as many times as necessary, whenever you feel the need for heart clearing.  And wearing Rhodochrosite jewelry in the following days is recommended to reinforce the healing work you have accomplished and to keep your heart open.  So this Valentine&#8217;s Day, be sure to honor the most important relationship in your life&#8211;your relationship with yourself.  And consider giving yourself a present that nobody else can&#8211;the gift of pure Rhodochrosite release.  I love you all!<br /><br /><br />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>&#8220;Dear Adrienne,<br /><br />All I have been hearing about lately is how bad the flu is right now.  Several people at work have already come down with it, and I really don&#8217;t need that in my life!  I&#8217;ve been sanitizing my hands like crazy and taking good supplements, because I don&#8217;t fully trust flu shots.  I&#8217;m open to natural things, so I was wondering if there are any crystals that can keep me healthy during the flu season.&#8221;<br /><br />&#8211;C.D.<br /><br />With all of the frightening news stories out there about how bad the flu is this season, it makes you consider wearing a mask when you have to go out in public!  But remember that you are a powerful being, and ultimately your health is in your own hands.  I looked up what the underlying energetic cause is of the flu in Louise L. Hay&#8217;s ground-breaking book, <em>You Can Heal Your Life</em>, and I thought that the answer was pretty interesting:  &#8221;Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. Belief in statistics.&#8221;  So perhaps the first suggestion is to tune out some of these fear-inducing messages in the media, and to embrace and exercise your power to create health in your body.  It sounds like  you are already taking great steps to ensure your health.  Keep up the hand sanitizing and keep taking supplements to boost your immune system. It is also a good idea to drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and maintain a clean, alkalizing, healthy diet.  You can also work on a spiritual and energetic level to raise the vibration of your immune system.  Remember that things begin on an energetic level before they manifest on the physical body level.  You could work with releasing fears around your relationship with your body, repeating positive affirmations to support the optimal functioning of your body, and sending light to your immune system and entire body while visualizing that it is strong and healthy. There are several wonderful crystals that can support the immune system and reinforce health on the subtle levels.  (Please note that my crystal suggestions are not intended to take the place of medical advice, and that I suggest consulting a qualified doctor if you are experiencing an illness or medical condition.)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_xs_111564861.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_xs_111564861-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image11156486" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-675" /></a>Green Calcite is a powerful ally during flu season, as it is known to naturally boost the immune system while combatting viral and bacterial infections.  Calcite is a top stone for clearing lower energies that you are exposed to, while also assisting you in clearing old and limiting beliefs from your mental body. It is perfect for helping you to release those negative belief patterns of the collective consciousness that you might have picked up. Green Calcite also helps you to release stress and tension that would weaken your immune system, and it removes stagnant energy anywhere in the physical body.  In addition to its cleansing properties, Calcite is also a natural amplifier of positive energies.  Green Calcite expands the general health and vitality of your body, and it brings patterns of physical and emotional well-being into your auric field.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_xs_20537372.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_xs_20537372-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image20537372" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-676" /></a> Bloodstone is a top level healing stone that and detoxifies and fortifies many systems of the body.  According to Michael Katz, author of <em>Gemstone Energy Medicine</em>, &#8220;Bloodstone strengthens your immune system and keeps it alert and responsive to your body&#8217;s needs.  Bloodstone&#8217;s energy empowers certain microorganisms in your bloodstream that are vital to optimal immune function, making your body an incompatible environment for infections of all kinds.&#8221;  Another way that it supports the immune system is that it increases the flow of lymph.  A stone of well-being and vitality, it strengthens the root chakra and physical energies.  It has a solid protective quality that keeps out negative influences while instilling a sense of courage and empowerment.  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_s_19951104-1-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/dreamstime_s_19951104-1-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image19951104" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-677" /></a> Fluorite is another super-stone to help keep you immune.  It is a stone of perfect order and perfect health, as it purifies, releases, and re-patterns anything in the physical body that is out of alignment.  Fluorite is the one to grab when you feel you might be exposed to highly contagious infections, such as the flu, as it provides your body the strength and protection to avoid contracting the condition.  And if you do happen to come down with something, Fluorite has been known to knock out an illness at the first signs of it.  In addition to supporting the physical body and the immune system, Fluorite stabilizes and strengthens the other levels of your being: the auric field and spiritual bodies, the emotional body, and the mental body.  And the key to maintaining health is to have your entire being in balance.<br /><br />I would suggest choosing one, two, or all three of these stones to carry with you or to wear as jewelry during flu season.  If you want to do a crystal healing layout, a good placement would be over the thymus, located a few inches above the heart chakra at the center of your chest.  With the stone (or stones) in place, visualize pure, green healing energy circulating throughout your body, uplifting and strengthening all systems.  Place your hand over the stone(s) at your thymus, and allow light frequencies to flow into this area while you hold the intention that you are raising the vibration of your immune system. You can then visualize a golden shield of light around your aura, forming a powerful barrier of protection.  Affirm that you are in perfect health, and see yourself moving effortlessly through your day as any lower energy of illness just bounces off of your shield.  Spend at least eleven minutes doing this, and try it at least once or twice a week.  This will help establish an energetic pattern of improved health and well-being.  May you breathe easy this flu season!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]></content:encoded>

It is a graduation and upgrade of the Earth herself that will expand Earth&#8217;s dimensional reception from 3D to 12D and beyond.  I believe that what you experience on that day will depend on your personal light quotient. The Earth will be beaming a program of expansion and new possibilities, but it is our responsibility to move our energy, consciousness and light levels to a place where we are able to absorb and use these higher frequencies for our own personal ascension process.  It is a time of celebration, because with focused effort, we can learn to plug into this new grid system and begin a rapid acceleration of our spiritual growth.  And what better way to connect to the 144 Crystalline Grid than with crystals?  <br /><br /><div>Recently, I began meditating on which crystals might best support us in maximizing these new energies available through the 144 Grid; and once I posed this question in my mind, I noticed that Elestial Quartz started popping up everywhere I turned my head. I have always been attracted to these complex Master Quartz formations, which have an etched and layered appearance, many times with multiple terminations all over the face and body.  I can get lost gazing into the intricate internal layers, which look like a crystalline version of a computer motherboard with advanced circuitry. That is why Robert Simmon&#8217;s description of Elestial Quartz really hit home: &#8220;They are like crystalline switchboards linking multiple dimensions, times and levels of consciousness to one another.&#8221; Since this resonates so closely with the function of the 144 grid, I sat down a few days ago to meditate with the exquisite Smoky Elestial Enydro (pictured above) to see if I what would happen, and I was blown away!  I am not the world&#8217;s greatest meditator, but with Elestial Quartz, I quickly moved into an altered state of consciousness.  I saw a screen that looked like it had multiple lines of symbols made up of dots and lines.  It very much looked like an Arcturian light language that I saw at a conference earlier this year, and I got the message that this is what it was!  The symbols kept moving down the screen, then the screen was wiped clear and replaced with some of the most complex math equations I have ever seen in my life.  Most of them contained square root signs.  I couldn&#8217;t have made these up in my imagination if I tried!  I have heard that once you achieve a certain light level, that you begin to see light codes expressed in these mathematical ways.  I may have seen a symbol or two in my days of meditating, but I have never seen anything as clear, voluminous, or complex as what this Elestial Quartz was apparently downloading into me.  It was an entirely new level! So this was certainly validation for me that working with Elestials can plug us in and upgrade our system.  <br /><br />As my story illustrates, Elestials act as a perfect medium for transferring energy patterns, codes, and information from the higher planes into the human auric field and experience.  I agree with Crystal Expert, Naisha Ahsian, when she says that they connect to the full-spectrum of light. Then they structure and regulate this energy, so that it is the perfect and highest level that you can easily absorb and integrate.  My experience with the download of codes and light language felt like just the right amount of data that my system could compute and handle. I didn&#8217;t feel overloaded afterwards, but I did feel charged, energized and elated.  This regulating feature means that you never outgrow an Elestial, because it gives you more as you can handle more.  It can be your go-to master crystal for life!<br /><br />When you have an Elestial with multiple terminations all over the crystal, it looks like a crystalline brain.  And Elestials do work to upgrade and heal the brain.  My teacher, Katrina Raphaell, shared with us that it can help heal and repair brain cells that were damaged from substance abuse.   And in my meditation with Elestials, I was shown that it can assist in rewiring and upgrading your subtle energetic circuitry.  I got a sense of new neural pathways being created that align you with higher dimensional living.  Elestials can help you with repatterning your thoughts so that they are more enlightened and engrained; so that they become like a positive affirmation program that you run to attract more positive experiences into your life.  In fact, if you like to meditate on positive affirmations, doing so with an Elestial Quartz will strengthen and accelerate the effects.  <br /><br />Elestials are also master clearers that can act as a roto-rooter for your chakras.  They specialize in delving deep into all of the chakras and helping to surface blockages, negative thought or emotional patterns, or any energetic debris that is holding you back.  They have a gift of bringing to your consciousness the root causes of disease or disharmony, so that these can be understood.  Then they provide energy to help in transmuting them.  <br /><br />Elestials are perfect for those who feel called to work in power spots and planetary vortexes.  These places amplify an Elestial&#8217;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 and can assist in sending love, clearing, and awakening through the Earth grids to uplift the whole.   <br /><br />All Elestials are special, but my favorite variety is the Smoky Elestial Enydro.  Smoky Elestials, like all varieties of  Smoky Quartz, are especially powerful in clearing and transmuting negative energy.  Also, they have a more grounded quality, making all of these higher energies that they deliver to us more comprehensible and accessible to the human consciousness.  The visions that I have received when meditating with a Smoky Elestial have been more vivid and clear to me than with other varieties.  Smoky Elestials also offer more protection from negative energy and influences.  An Enydro is a water inclusion, and they appear more frequently inside of Elestial Quartz than in any other Quartz form. These very ancient water bubbles are typically millions of years old and are very pure. Enydros help us to become more spiritually open and receptive, and they connect us to our own subconscious and to the collective consciousness that unites us all.  Since we are made up of water, we are naturally in resonance with Enydro water bubbles.  They can be a wonderful medium to ease the transference of the crystalline energy and higher frequencies into our bio-energetic systems.  Water is also a natural cleansing element, so I intuitively feel that Elestial Enydros provide an extra dose of clearing energy.  For all of these reasons, I highly recommend working with a Smoky Elestial Enydro for the meditation I will now share, if possible.<br /><br />This meditation came to me when I asked for a crystalline formula to help us connect more fully with the 144 Crystalline Grid, so that we can maximize the newly available energies for spiritual growth. This layout will help to clear your energy centers and auric field, and it assists in activating your chakras and subtle energetic circuitry.  It upgrades your system so that you can absorb and integrate higher light frequencies, and it can connect you to other dimensional realities that are now coming online. I have tried this new layout on myself and clients, with remarkable and vivid results!  To do the full layout, you will need an Elestial Quartz, and also an Amethyst (preferably Auralite), a Blue Kyanite, and a Healer&#8217;s Gold.  However, it can be done with just an Elestial.  Before you begin, cleanse all of the stones, and call in your higher self, Divine Source, Metatron, and any other spirit helpers you like to work with.  <br /><br /> Hold or state this intention for the layout: “My chakras, meridians, and entire auric field is receiving the perfect level of clearing and activation now.  I connect with the 144 crystalline grid to receive the exact energies, downloads, and codes that I need now and can easily integrate for my spiritual growth and highest good.  I am plugged in.”  Place the Elestial Quartz above the head at the crown chakra, and place the Amethyst in the center of the forehead at the third eye chakra. Next place the Kyanite between the heart and solar plexus chakras, and place the Healer’s Gold a few inches below the feet.  Relax and meditate with the stones in place for about twelve minutes, or for the length of time that feels right for you.  This layout can work very quickly to connect you and do its magic, so in some cases it is only necessary to leave the stones in place for about eight minutes.  You might be absolutely amazed at the energy you feel and the visions that you receive.  It is possible to see the geometry and light of the crystalline grid and to feel yourself being literally plugged in.  You might also see the light codes that are downloading to upgrade your system.  This is a powerful activation process that is unique for each person who tries it, and I know it will assist in activating your multidimensional switchboard.<br /><br />.   </div><div></div><br /><br />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>&#8220;Dear Adrienne, My sister and I were chatting about how we always feel sick and gross after returning from our parents house for the holidays. Our parents (divorced, so, 2 sets of houses) always have tables full of pies and desserts, a ton of carbs from stuffing to sugary sweet potatoes and all kinds of festive cheese logs. Not things either of us usually eat for health reasons (I have various food sensitivities and she struggles with emotional eating and weight) so we both find that we gorge while there. It&#8217;s all so tempting and just sitting there, staring at us. I&#8217;ve tried for years, and now I think she&#8217;s trying, to talk to our parents about it but they&#8217;re deeply attached. These are foods that their parents served, baking and cooking is such a part of their memory and concept of what Christmas is&#8230; even though they&#8217;re all dealing with food related health issues from diabetes to cholesterol. Really, it&#8217;s madness. So that was a long explanation for you:  <br /><b>Q. Is there a crystal that we can carry to help us resist the temptation of gorging on all of this beautiful food that we know will not serve our wellness in the end?&#8221;</b><p>&#8211;T.M. <br /><br />With all of its decadent treats, holidays can really do in those of us who are watching our waste lines and our health.  Who wants to offend Aunt Edna by not eating her famous pumpkin cheesecake, that she spent half a day preparing with love?  Just one bite won&#8217;t hurt&#8230;but who can stop there? You can!  There are certain crystals and stones that boost your self control and help you resist the temptation to overindulge. So this year, you can leave the stretchy pants at home and wear these suggested crystals as jewelry instead.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lapis.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/lapis-253x300.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image12298336" width="253" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-657" /></a>Lapis Lazuli will lend you the inner strength and higher wisdom to back away from the cheese log. Highly prized by the ancient Egyptians and recognized by Edgar Cayce as one of the most beneficial stones for humanity, Lapis is a beautiful blue stone with inclusions of Pyrite and Calcite.  It is best known to help with spiritual mastery, as it activates your third eye, mental body, and ability to tap into the highest levels of wisdom and truth. When you are connected to your higher inner voice with Lapis Lazuli, it is easier to hear what your body really needs and to honor it as a sacred temple.  Lapis Lazuli is also a protective stone that seals and repairs your auric field.  With a strong energetic boundary in place, it is much easier to not be swayed by the ideas, attitudes, and persuasion techniques of friends and family and to stay true to yourself.   The specimens that have a higher content of Pyrite are especially useful for the purpose of being good over the holidays. Pyrite significantly enhances your willpower.  It naturally helps you to release bad habits and firmly establish healthy patterns.  It is also known to counteract bad influences in your environment so that you are unaffected by them.  <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dreamstime_6650092.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dreamstime_6650092-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="dreamstime_6650092" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-658" /></a> Amethyst will also assist you in vibrating beyond the influence.  This beautiful crystal radiates high energy from the spiritual realms and is known as the gemstone of spiritual purification and protection. It can remove negative influences and unhealthy attachments from your energy field.  Historically it has been used to combat overindulgence and giving in to passions or addictions that aren&#8217;t good for you.  It brings balance, calm, and emotional centering, negating many triggers that might cause us to binge or overeat.  This peaceful and centering quality can also be useful during family gatherings, when you are bound to be around people who are karmic button-pushers.  Amethyst will uplift the entire atmosphere of your holiday party and share its positive influence with everyone in attendance. Wearing Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli together would be a stellar idea&#8211;even the Pope is known to wear this powerful combination!  Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous holiday filled with true nourishment.  And remember that you can always bless those cookies with love to raise the vibration, if you must have one little bite.  I won&#8217;t judge or tell!<br /> </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>&#8220;Dear Adrienne, I have always considered myself to be somewhat prone to anxiety, and lately it seems to be getting worse.  My thoughts and my heart race a lot, and I can&#8217;t stop worrying about a number of things going on in my life and also in the world. It seems like there&#8217;s just not enough time to get everything done. It is affecting my sleep and also my relationships.  I am open to taking medication if it is necessary, but I would rather try something natural to help me first.  Are there any crystals that can help with anxiety?&#8221;&#8211;D.M.<br /><br /><div></div><div>Many of us can relate to what you are experiencing, and you are not alone. I&#8217;m noticing in my healing practice that a lot of people are feeling anxious during these times.  Time does seem to actually be accelerating, giving us the feeling that there are not enough hours in the day for our to-do lists. The ascension energies are pushing things to the surface, giving us a heightened sense of pressure.  And there is a lot going on in the world stage right now that can be cause for concern.  In my personal experience with anxiety, I have found that part of the answer is to move my energy and consciousness higher so that I can receive the energetic transmissions of the Divine realm.  Above the storm of the Earth 3-D realm, all is well. You have access to the frequencies of peace, and the higher truth that everything is going according to Divine plan and everything is going to be alright.  Anxiety can be a trust issue, a fear that spirit doesn&#8217;t really have your back.  It can also be a symptom of being too hard on yourself, putting an impossible standard of &#8220;perfection&#8221; upon yourself.  None of us are going to do everything perfectly while we are on the Earth plane, and society&#8217;s idea of perfection can be unattainable.  But from a higher perspective, the truth is that you ARE perfect, just how you are&#8211;even if your house isn&#8217;t completely clean at all times and you are consistently late!  So tuning into the  higher realms to combat anxiety sounds good in theory, but it can be difficult to get there when you are in the midst of a panic attack.  Luckily, there are some crystals that can assist in calming yourself down and coming back to center.  <br /><br /><div class="mceTemp" draggable=""><dl id="attachment_642" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dreamstime_12451589.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dreamstime_12451589-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="dreamstime_12451589" width="300" height="200" class="size-medium wp-image-642" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Kunzite</dd></dl></div>Did you know that the mineral kingdom produces its own brand of anti-anxiety medication, and with no undesirable side-effects? Crystals and stones containing lithium naturally emit a calming energy that can counteract feelings of panic, worry, anxiety, and stress. Here is a list of stones that have a lithium content:  Kunzite, Hiddenite, Lepidolite, Petalite, Elbaite Tourmaline (Pink, Green, Watermelon, Purple, or Blue), Lithium Quartz, Eucryptite, Amblygonite, and Nuummite.  Kunzite is one of my favorites on this list, and it is the first one that I turn to when I feel anxiety coming on. Kunzite is a sweet, tranquil stone that connects with the currents of Divine love from the higher realms, and this loving frequency is strengthened and delivered to us through its striated structure.  A striated stone is one that has parallel grooves recessed down the length of the stone, which act as amplifying channels or pathways. Kunzite&#8217;s structure makes it ideal for transmuting lower energies and blockages into pure love. It has a natural resonance with the third eye and the heart, serving as a bridge between the two, while it activates and clears both centers. Anxiety is a state that is experienced in the mental body as excess energy or worry due to thoughts we are having, and it is felt in the emotional body as fear.  This stone can treat both the mental and emotional sources of anxiety at one time, giving a more complete sense of relief. Kunzite also creates a protective shield around the body, so that we are less affected by outside sources or situations that might provoke  anxiety. When we are under the peaceful influence of Kunzite, it is much easier to sigh deeply and relax into a meditative state.  It helps us to access higher dimensional realities and the love of the Angelic realm.  With our third eyes activated, we can more clearly receive the message that all is well from the higher perspectives, and that we are being taken care of in all moments.  If you feel panic coming on, I suggest putting a cloth headband around your head at the third eye level.  Then place one or more Kunzites around your head, with the striations pointing vertically.  You will be amazed at how quickly a sense of calm overcomes you!<br /><br /><div class="mceTemp" draggable=""><dl id="attachment_643" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/kyanite1.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/kyanite1-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="kyanite1" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-643" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Kyanite</dd></dl></div>Blue Kyanite is another high vibration, striated stone that can be an effective antidote to anxiety.  All light blue stones carry soothing energies and bring a sense of calm, which make them perfect for any nervous condition.  Other peaceful blue stones are Aquamarine, Celestite, Larimar, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Calcite, Turquoise, Chrysocolla, and Blue Tourmaline, But in my experience, Blue Kyanite is the most powerful of all blue calming stones. I gained a deep appreciation for it when I was studying at Katrina Raphaell&#8217;s Crystal Academy, and I got to experience first-hand how helpful Kyanite is in achieving a deep, meditative state.  I normally have problems meditating, because I have a very busy mind, but with Kyanite it was easy.  We learned to place Kyanite at the causal chakra, located at the back and center of the top of the head.  It is behind the crown chakra, at the place where your hair can create a spiral and where a baby&#8217;s &#8220;soft spot&#8221; is located.  This is the area where you to receive higher mental impressions from spiritual sources.  I see it as the seat of the evolved mental body, the one that exists beyond the normal mental static we experience and that is attuned to the cosmic mind.  When it is property activated, it is much easier to achieve a sense of serenity, and to live your life as a walking meditation of peace and higher flow.  You know that this area is activated when you get fleeting visions during meditations that drift away as soon as you notice them, like you experience in the twilight state right before falling asleep.  Kyanite has a special capability to activate this chakra, and in doing so it can override frantic mental states that lead to anxiety.  Kyanite is a bridging stone, helping to connect our consciousness to higher sources, to rewire subtle energetic circuitry, and to restructure unhealthy mental/emotional patterns. It creates the pathway for higher downloads of energy to be received and integrated.  It is also one of the best stones for clearing and removing negative energy, especially lower states of worry, fear, or panic.  When you feel an anxiety attack coming on, I suggest holding and stroking the striations on your Kyanite. It can send a calming transmission of energy through your entire energetic field and bring you back to center.  Then I would lie down and place the Kyanite at the causal chakra.  Breathe, relax, and meditate until you feel infused with calm energy.  <br /><br /><div class="mceTemp" draggable=""><dl id="attachment_644" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dreamstime_xs_2638805.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/dreamstime_xs_2638805-225x300.jpg" alt="" title="http://www.dreamstime.com/-image2638805" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-644" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Smoky Quartz</dd></dl></div>Smoky Quartz can pull us out of anxiety by bringing us back down to Earth and to the present moment.  Many times we are spinning in our to-do lists, worrying about what might happen in the future, or agonizing about what we did in the past.  All of these things take us out of the present moment. And in the present moment, it is likely that all is basically well.  In this now, you are sitting here and reading this article.  The roof is not falling down on you, the IRS is not knocking on your door, and I doubt that you are in any imminent danger.  Maybe everything isn&#8217;t exactly perfect, but I bet if you slowed down and just tuned into your immediate surroundings, you could find something positive and beautiful to focus on.  Maybe a flower outside of the window, or your cat purring next to you?  Smoky Quartz can help us to calm down and realize that we are safe, right here and right now.  It is a crystal that grounds us and connects us to the nurturing Earth grids, helping to dissolve and recycle our negative energy and mental/emotional states.  The vibratory rate of Smoky Quartz is slow and solid, and it gently uplifts and purifies us on all levels. Smoky Quartz also offers protection, so we can be assured that negative influences will not affect us. It can pull our attention back to the body, where we can breathe and shift our feeling state.   I believe that coming back into our bodies is one of the best ways to get relief from anxiety.  When you are becoming anxious, I would suggest stopping whatever it is that you are doing and picking up a Smoky Quartz crystal.  Take some conscious, deep breaths, and then gently gaze at the crystal.  Study it with all of your focus and intention; noticing every facet, line, inclusion, chip, and detail.  You will feel yourself calming down as you move more fully into the present moment.  Then, if possible, do some light yoga or stretching to keep your focus in your body.  <br /><br />I sincerely believe that these crystals and techniques can significantly improve your anxiety.  Give them a try and see if you get any relief. I also suggest looking at your diet to see if any adjustments need to be made.  Stimulants, caffeine, and sugar can all contribute to anxiety; and eating more raw, natural, organic, unprocessed foods can bring you back into a balanced state.  Remember, if you are still feeling overly anxious, it is always a good idea to consult with a trustworthy mental health practitioner.  There is nothing wrong with taking medication if it is needed.  Taking care of your well-being on physical, emotional, and mental levels is an essential and beautiful act of self love.  And I know that you are perfectly supported on all levels as you do this.  <br /><br /></div><div></div><br />]]></content:encoded>

There are multiple crystals growing inside of the points.</dd></dl></div><div>You know you&#8217;ve got a real case of the Mondays when your car breaks down underneath the freeway, and you have to call a tow truck to get it to the shop.  Then you get the message that your engine is completely destroyed, and that the price tag will be in the seven thousand dollar range. This was quite a shock, since my MINI Cooper has been taken care of pristinely and the mileage is still relatively low. My wonderful partner, Robert, used his helpful masculine energy to express our discontent and to request that they do something to make this situation better.  But the outlook wasn&#8217;t so good. The warranty had just expired a few months back.  So I went into my crystal room to center myself, when I saw my beautiful Manifestation Quartz cluster glittering at me in a way that seemed like a cosmic wink.  Alright, why not use crystal power to manifest a better outcome? <br /> </div><div></div><div>While I was in meditation with the cluster, I called in all of the souls at the dealership who had the power to make decisions in my case, and I sent them all a transmission of love and light.  Then I clearly stated my desired outcome, &#8220;The price of my car repair is significantly reduced, and I get it back no later than Monday of next week.&#8221;  I visualized this happening as completely as possible, using all of my senses.  Within only ten minutes of doing this meditation, I got a phone call from MINI.  They were going to split the cost of the new engine with me, and it would be done by Friday!  I could hardly believe it.  But it got even better.  A few days later, they called to tell me that they were able to knock another twelve hundred dollars off of the price for me.  As promised, I got my car back on Friday, and my total bill was about $5,000 less than I was originally quoted!  This just happened about two weeks ago, and it is just one of many success stories I&#8217;ve had using Manifestation Quartz. It is like having your own personal Merlin, who can assist you in tapping into the most desirable potential outcome and pulling it into your physical reality for quick and accurate manifestation.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/manifestation.jpg"><img src="http://www.adriennegoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/manifestation-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="manifestation" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-628" /></a> Manifestation Quartz is a rare formation in which a smaller Quartz crystal is completely encapsulated inside a larger Quartz crystal.  These are not to be confused with Phantom Quartz crystals, which are an entirely different creature.  Phantom Quartz has a ghost-like shadow inside of it, which can occur when minerals collect on a crystal matrix in the Earth. Then at a later time, new solution is brought back into the picture, causing the crystal to grow again around the phantom.  Manifestation Quartz is a complete Quartz crystal that forms and lives inside of another Quartz crystal, like an embryo inside of its Mother.  The outer, host crystal symbolizes you.  The inner crystal can be seen as the seed of your creation, what it is you want to manifest and bring into form. It also represents your spiritual resources, your inner Master, your soul who expresses its light and magic through you.  <br />   <br />The first time I worked with Manifestation Quartz, I felt like I had a magic wand that focused my intentions into the Universe like a laser beam.   Any Quartz will naturally absorb, store, amplify, and direct energy.  Quartz radiates pure white light and can be programmed for any purpose. It is one of the most versatile crystals, and it is a healing stone that can replenish energy and raise your vibration to a higher level.  So when you have one Quartz crystal growing inside of another, It&#8217;s like a double amplification of power.  <br /><br />Manifestation Quartz connects with the highest and purest frequencies of creation, and it directs this Divine force to animate our dreams and makes them so.  This crystal can enhance fertility in all senses of the word; it can powerfully activate your sacral chakra, your center of creativity.  It also activates your solar plexus, your center of manifestation and personal power through which you make things happen in your physical reality.  When these two chakras are activated and aligned, whatever it is you focus on will grow and thrive.  But one of the biggest keys to making things manifest in your life is ensuring that your will is aligned with the Divine Will, and that all parts of yourself are clear and in agreement with your vision.  Manifestation Quartz can also activate you higher chakras and help you connect with your soul and your true Divine Blueprint.  So if you are experiencing any uncertainty about what is in your highest good to create, it is recommended that you meditate with Manifestation Quartz at the third eye or crown. Ask for more clarity about your soul&#8217;s highest vision.  Once you get a clear picture of your highest path, and you feel that all aspects of yourself are on board and excited, then it is time to work with your Manifestation Quartz to draw it into your reality.  And how does that work exactly?  Here is a message that I brought through about reality-crafting from my beautiful Manifestation Quartz cluster.  <br /><br />&#8220;Dear Beloved Humans, do you have any idea how powerful you are?  Do you realize that you are plugged into a matrix of infinity, where anything can happen?  You can have what it is that you truly desire, for all probable futures that you can imagine already exist.  It&#8217;s just a matter of pulling in the one that you want to experience, and there are simple mechanics to it all.  Do you realize that there is much more to your imagination than fantasy and &#8216;make-believe?&#8217;  What if it were true that, when you are &#8216;imagining,&#8217; you are not making things up at all, but instead you were tapping into real alternate realities and timelines?  Entertain, if you will, the concept that every possible outcome to each scenario or decision or idea you have exists in a dimension beyond time and space.  What if you could step outside of your reality and look at all of the possible outcomes and choose the best one?  Through your imagination, you can do just that!  <br /><br />The first thing you have to do is to really embody the fact that you are a Master of Manifestation.  Feel it, own it, and be it, because it is your birthright as a spark of the Divine.  Then recognize that your imagination is your ticket to exploring possible timelines and outcomes.  Instead of calling it imagination or daydreaming, perhaps call it &#8216;surfing the timelines.&#8217;  Honor this process and set aside time for it.  Make your experience of surfing the timelines a regular and sacred practice.  Once you find a potential timeline that makes your heart sing and electrifies your energy on all levels, that is the one that you want to draw in. You will recognize it as a vibration of pure joy and crystal clarity, and you will feel a coherence within all levels of your being. Now Adrienne will share with you a how to send out a signal that will attract this timeline into your personal reality.  This is a process of magnetism, and it is simple to do just with your personal energy.  But if you would like to amplify your signal for an even more accurate and accelerated manifestation, you can work with Manifestation Quartz. I am speaking for my entire crystalline species when I say that we are happy to help you with this, and we are perfectly designed to do so. Adrienne will share with you now her technique for doing this.&#8221;<br /> <br />Call in Divine Source, your higher self, and spirit, and ask for guidance in creating the highest outcomes for yourself. Then cleanse your Manifestation Quartz, and place it at your solar plexus chakra or third eye.   Formulate a clear sentence that encapsulates the outcome you desire, in present tense form.  I did this when I declared, &#8220;The price of my car repair is significantly reduced, and I get it back no later than Monday of next week.&#8221;  You can add to your statement, &#8220;This, or something better, manifests easily for me now if it is for my highest good.&#8221;  Now fully envision the outcome you desire, with all of your senses, and make it as real and vivid in your mind as you can.  Play the scene in your mind and feel all of the positive emotions associated with getting exactly what you want.  At this point, you are beginning to move into vibrational alignment with the timeline in which this happens.  To bring even more clarity to this process, I suggest imagining a symbol to represent your desired manifestation.  It can be something very simple, like a red triangle or anything else that comes to mind. Superimpose this symbol over your vision of your ideal outcome or timeline, as if you are putting your mark or energetic signature on it.  <br /><br />Now mentally project the symbol you came up with into your Manifestation Quartz.  See the energy of your desire flowing into the smaller, internal crystal, where you are planting it as a seed for manifestation.  Imagine the symbol inside of the internal crystal glowing more and more radiant, as if it is building in energy and magnetic force.  Now that you have encoded the crystal with your symbol, imagine a powerful laser beam of light emitting from the crystal and connecting with the ideal timeline that you have marked with the matching symbol.  Feel the connection, and then allow yourself to feel the magnetic sensation of pulling that reality into yours. You might be surprised at how clearly you can feel this happening.  There are real mechanical forces at play here!  Direct the incoming energy of your ideal timeline into your solar plexus chakra.  Now you are one with your desired outcome.  <br /><br />While it is great to do this to improve your personal reality, I want to also invite you to create big and beautiful visions and outcomes for this entire world.  We are at a pivotal point in the evolution of the planet and of humanity.  It&#8217;s cosmic election time, and we all have an energetic vote and a say about what happens here. Remember that we have more Divine help than ever right now, and they will add their power, love, and assistance to our efforts, if we just ask them to help us. Also remember that one positive thought or energetic transmission can cancel out hundreds of lower ones. So spend some sacred moments surfing the timelines until you find one where all beings on the Earth are honored.  Start pulling in the one where we are living in harmony with the planet and where we have allowed in brilliant technologies to clean up the pollution we have caused.  Or how about the one where we realize that war is not the answer and where we all have an instant spiritual breakthrough that makes violence impossible?  Once you think you&#8217;ve imagined the best possible reality ever, challenge yourself to make it even better.  Remember that you are an Ambassador of Light, a Master who is here to change the world.  And you are doing it every day by being you.  Happy Manifesting!<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> </div><div></div>]]></content:encoded>
