Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hello all! Hope that you're all having a beautiful day as you pause to take a moment and read my note. I've been studying and learning for 12 years now on topics from crystals to Reiki to Pagan studies to Buddhism.. I have gone through some energy shifts along my path and can feel myself at the edge of another one. This one is different though, it's so much more substantial then other shifts I've experienced. I can feel that this one will change me on every single level of my being and I'm fearful about that. I know that this is a positive change but I am fearful none the less. I know that I will be okay, though I still resist even though what is waiting on the other side of this fear is for my highest good. I'm not 100% sure what I am fearful of but I know responsibility and whether or not I am deserving is part of it. I've been working with crystals and learning about them for 10+ years though I haven't been working with them in a disciplined way. I share my home with many and know that their energy fills every space in my home. I don't sit and meditate with or without crystals on a regular basis and I actually have a little bit of trouble calming my mind and tapping in.. I've found that I have emotional feelings {from crystals} that are hard to understand before I have physical feelings or sensations.. Anyway, if anyone has any wisdom to share or information to point me towards or suggestions of any kind I would really appreciate it!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi Michelle, I am very familiar with the feeling you talk about here - although I'm not always so sure about whether it's going to be that dramatic a change ;o) But I do see what you mean. I'm definitely on a long slow path of dramatic change - LOL! I have trouble tapping in to my true thoughts and feelings sometimes, too. But if I'm feeling brave and really want to know what I think/feel I pick up some amethyst. For me this is *such* a powerful stone. It talks to me, in the sense that it puts me directly in touch with my inner/higher self so that I can hear myself. Give that one a go ;o) For reference, if you haven't worked with it before (altho you probably have over the years?) and you have trouble contacting yourself (!) then you might have a blockage that needs working through. So if you don't get any immediate effect then just carry a piece round with you for a while until you start to feel/see it working. Me, I had a major blockage in my third eye chakra. As soon as I wore just one bead of amethyst on a bracelet I got a huge headache. Every time I took off the crystal the headache went away. I would feel no 'help' from the crystal, just this headache! But I persevered and kept putting on the bracelet for short periods of time. After not too long the headache finally went away, and then the realisations began I've not had a headache with amethyst since but feel a wonderful communication with it. It could very well be that this communication with yourself will help you find the inner peace and courage to face this time of change Good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Michelle, Welcome to our group! Lots of warmth and acceptance here. Try to remember the butterfly as you renew yourself. It struggles out of the familiar chrysalis, where it would die if it stayed, and finds a bright and lovely world and wings to explore it! Everything it needs is right there for it. Calming stones are: 1. Howlite!!! My favorite for peacefulness and fear banishing 2. Blue lace agate - I feel this one would be good for you, and agates are grounding as well. 3. Botswana agate is a wonderful comfort during times of turmoil. Possibly some earth star or root chakra stones will help you stay grounded as you change. Jaspers, tiger iron, obsidian or hematite would be good grounders. Hematite is also nice protection. Try to find a time and place of quiet, and sort your stones with your eyes closed to find which ones want to be around for day and through the night. Don't be afraid to grow - all is well.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi Katy! Thanks for your message, it is very encouraging at this time! I have worked with Amethyst but not on a deep or intense level, very much just " scratching the surface " of the power Amethyst holds. Upon reading your experience with a blockage in your Third Eye I immediately had an understanding that, right now, the blockage I need to overcome is in the Throat and Third Eye {the Third Eye blockage will spontaneously remove itself as the Throat blockage is relieved}. Recently I have come to let go of part of the Throat blockage (this was something that happened " out of the blue " and not something I was focusing on happening..) and as I type out this message I am realizing that the small release that I experienced mere weeks ago was actually part of the HUGE release/shift that I am on the edge of experiencing. I KNOW {in every thread of my being} that with this shift comes great responsibility and a need to be humble, to trust and honor My Self and stay true.. I have known this for quite some time and it is this understanding that frightens me. Thanks again, your words have helped! Blessings to you!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Aww I'm really pleased I could help, Michelle I really admire you for sticking with it! I know there are so many things to change in my life, and some quite major, but I know too how frightening it is. That said, I have actually made enormous progress over the past 4 years just taking everything one step at a time, one day at a time. Then suddenly I look back and see how far I've come You saying this has reminded me of that too - so thanks as well! I liked your note about releasing some blockage from your throat chakra 'out of the blue'!! Given blue is the throat chakra colour ;o) Sounds like that's how it was meant to happen... Ooo yes, and as Cindy mentioned, keeping grounding crystals around you would be wise, to ground down that fear. Hematite is a wonderful grounding stone. Try that in combination with amethyst and you'll be topped and tailed Also consider rhodochrosite for the heart chakra, to balance you out and help you follow your heart.
