Amethyst.....The Jewel of enlightenment

Today we are working with the Amethyst stone.

An Amethyst, beloved jewel of mystics, representing the crown chakra....is a stone that one will inevitably encounter early on the journey to self.

The color can range from light lilac to the deepest purple. The color of the Amethyst is the color associated with psychic abilities, wisdom and healing. The properties of this stone are crucial to spiritual re-awakening, and can help "ease" the path.

One of the most wonderful properties of this stone is that it helps you"get it"! The Universe, Spirit, your Guides and Angels, and all the many other entities that have elected to be at your service in this very special time, are communicating to you in ways that have nothing to do with the spoken human word.

Human language will always fall short in facilitating divine communications. Our language was devised by us to communicate with each other. Our thought patterns are limited to a human's understanding of his/her physical experience, and to a slightly greater degree, his/her emotions. Since we are extremely small and one dimensional, and the universe is incredibly huge, and multidimensional, obviously there is more to be seen, felt and communicated that cannot be explained or understood by our linear and limited human way of processing knowledge.

The Universe, and all its attendant entities communicate with you through visual images, odd occurrences, random messages in nature, animals, dreams, and in many other ways. An Amethyst accelerates your understanding of these seeming random events and portents. It gives you the gift of intuitive understanding.

If you are drawn to an Amethyst, you are about to be "bounced up" to a level that is actually an increase in your own vibration . One of the ways this is achieved is through the Amethyst's work in helping you release addictive patterns that may not serve your increased vibration. This can be , but is not limited to addictions to alcohol,drugs, sex and other numbing distractions. It can also be addictions to bad relationships, to caffeine, to being a victim, to any thing or circumstance that repeats itself constantly in your life and stops you from being the radiant, purposeful being you want to be.

Amethyst gives you the space to slow down, to recognize your desire and capacity for peace, for joy, and compassion. It quiets and stabilizes the spirit so that the healing process and the process of reconnection between mind body and soul can begin.

There are certain stones that I regard as "core issue" stones, and Amethyst is right on the top of the list. It is a major facilitator of the transformation process, and is literally the stone that will help you receive and understand the messages you receive from Spirit every day. It is your Rosetta stone , your translator, your teacher of love and compassion and wisdom.

Amethyst shows you the true nature of the divine self, and does it in such a loving and gentle way that you will find yourself applying a new found love, compassion and understanding to every situation. You may still have the old, self limiting thoughts, but they will be quickly replaced by the new, expanded connection to the higher self which will help you see the big picture, yours and everyone else's.

As with all stones, there is so much more to an Amethyst than what I have written. If you wish to add, or ask a specific question, please do. These wonderful stones can enhance your life in ways we have only barely touched.

You may wonder why we would need all these vibrations, all this help to be fully realized as balanced Spiritual/Human beings?

When we were born, we came into this world as perfect, radiant, joyful, fully connected beings. The process of separation of human self from divine self began shortly after. It is no ones fault. Parents, teachers, and religious figures can only teach what they have been taught, and they have been taught to be small, to give their power up to a disconnected God who gave us every gift in the world to enjoy and then wants to punish us for enjoying them. It is up to you to think past the smallness, and the fear. The perfection of the Earth has provided the some of the means by which we may do this.

The Journey you are on now is your reconnection to your own perfection. To the love that you know Spirit must feel for you because it is reflected in the love and pride you have in your own children, or any one that you truly love in a selfless matter. The first step is in loving your self. When you love and understand yourself, you can love and understand any body. You may not agree with their ways, or their opinions and beliefs, but it will no longer cause a bitterness in your soul.

Everyone is in a different place on their path, and they have a perfect right to be there. You are only responsible for yourself and your own journey, your own integrity, your own life. The only way to really teach some one a different way of being, is simply "to be" that which works for you the best, and brings you the most peace. Those who can see..... will see, those cannot see, will simply pass you by, and thats ok too.

Relax, Enjoy, you are right where you should be.

You will be guided with love, as surely as some day, you will become the guide, the gift, the love and understanding that you seek.

Good Night, Sweet Dreams!
