Picked this beauty up at a favorite Portland, OR rock shop - Celestial Awakenings.
Green chlorite is in quartz combines to offer a powerful detoxifying effect. The chlorite detoxifies and invites you to clear out old energy to make way for new energy, while clear quartz amplifies and strengthens those properties.
I was drawn to this stone when I visited one of my many favorite rock shops, Terra Stones in Astoria, OR. Then, another piece of chlorite in quartz showed up yesterday in a subscription box. I've never had any chlorite in quartz before, so clearly there's something in the energy of this stone that is for me in my life right now. Perhaps not surprisingly, I've also been purging. For the past several days, I've gone systematically through drawers, closets, cupboards, shelves, and bins and ruthlessly thrown out anything that I feel no longer serves me or suits my current energy. It's been an intuitive process - if something doesn't make me feel fantastic, or if it weights me down, I get rid of it. With each item I throw away or donate, I feel new sense of spaciousness. I had so many possessions I was holding on to that just didn't matter to me. I also burned old paperwork there was no reason I need to save...things like old bills, and court papers from divorce and child support battles. These are energies from the past, and holding onto items that still support that energy keeps part of me planted there. I've rid myself of many items with, I'm sure, more to come. Many are things I once felt I needed because that's what responsible adults who had reached a certain "station" in life had, for example, certain types of art objects and china. Other things I'm ridding myself of are associated with unhappy memories in my life, hobbies I dabbled in but gave up, and so much more. I no longer have space in my life for these things I once had that were the accoutrements of a life that never really felt quite like mine. While I've purged physically, I've noticed an emotional and spiritual quickening, as well. My life feels lighter. I feel ready for and open to new energies I choose to cultivate in my life. I've shed the things I thought I was "supposed" to do and be so I can revel in a space where I am being and doing what I choose. What do you have that's holding old energy? Is it time to cleanse and purge? Is it time to make space for the most vibrant, joyful, and alive you that you can be? Today I'm feeling mighty clever and full of myself, as I've hit on the perfect crystals post for the season: a post about crystals with a holiday theme! In my books Crystals for Healing and Crystals for Beginners, I offer tips for finding the right crystals for you. If they call to you, and if they feel "right" when you hold them, then chances are they are the right crystal for you. It's an intuitive process that asks you to check in with your Divine guidance system to determine whether this crystal will serve your highest and greatest good. And naturally, pretty much any crystal that calls to you will do just that; it will serve your highest and greatest good if you select it with the intention it does so. But what about when you're shopping for someone else? How do you go about selecting the right crystal for them? The good news is the process is the same as choosing a crystal for yourself, only the focus is on them instead of you. Before you enter a crystal shop, take a moment to move into your heart center, and then visualize that person. State the intention (you can do it in your head if you're standing in the middle of a busy store, although in a crystal shop nobody is going to look at you funny if you state your intention aloud) you will find a crystal that will serve the highest and greatest good of that person. Then see where you're drawn, hold the crystal in your hand while holding the person in your heart, and notice if it feels right. It's that simple.

Hold it in your hands and infuse it with your loving energy, and then intend as you gift the crystal that it will serve in the highest and greatest good of the person receiving it. Any gift given with loving intention finds the perfect home because it is your intent that it does.
I love giving crystals as gifts. I enjoy the process of holding someone I love in my heart as I browse through treasures that come from the Earth. I love holding those crystals in my hand and infusing them with love energy meant especially for the person who will receive them. It's a unique and beautiful way to share energy with another.

The Grid's Overall Intention My overall intention for this grid is connection to and harmony with Source energy and my Divine guidance, and its integration with my physical and astral energetic centers including my chakras and auric fields. Grid Shape The mandala is essentially a circle, which sets the intention for oneness or unity and harmony, as well as the balancing of body, mind, and spirit. Intention (Center) Stone The grid's center stone is a zeolite (a group of aluminum silicates), which is a combination of scolecite, heulandite, pectolite, chabazite, stilbite, and prehnite. Zeolites help attune energies, connect you to Divine guidance, and connect to the Akashic records. This is my grid's primary focus. Stones that Focus Intentions (All inner circles except the center stone) The stones in the circles around the grids are varied but arranged symmetrically and include:
Finally, I have clear quartz points in a ring around the outside to amplify and direct the grid's energy into the space in the direction of the points, which is my entire living room and, since it is the center of my home, my entire home. Cleansing and Intention After setting the grid, I cleansed it with sound and focused on my intention for each of the stones, as well as the meaning of the grid as a whole. Now it is releasing a very powerful energy into the room to foster my connection with Source and help to maintain that connection as an integrated part of my body, mind, and spirit. |
