Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Intuition & Crystals to Enhance Mind Power

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Intuition & Crystals to Enhance Mind Power

 

Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing

your inner self, or intuition, to perceive truth. By practicing this

art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the

ability to condition our mind to listen on a much more subtle level.

This developing can allow us the ability to sense energy and actually

perceive on an even more subconscious plane.

 

Techniques are vast and varied and include Meditation, Yoga, Qi Qong,

Visualization, Physical Exercise, Prayer or your own personal

techniques, all of which can be used in calming and clearing the mind

and achieving clearer perception. Greater self control and self

balance, awareness, inner peace and

connective energy to the source of truth are all important in the

path to attunement.

 

As our minds are conditioned to listen in silence, responses come

quicker and clearer to us.

 

When we tend not to trust our intuition, there are two specific

crystals which can help.

 

 

Crystals Associated with Intuition

 

The power behind Earth's minerals can be felt the minute you put a

crystal in your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the

treasures of the earth. These stones are filled with energy to be

used. Some of the best crystals for intuition include: Blue Lace

Agate, Charoite, Hematite, Kyanite, Malachite, Moldavite, Petalite,

Phenacite and Tiger's Eye.

 

Blue Lace Agate

Properties: Helps to focus on the inner source of love within you

that transforms and heals all wounds. Contains the qualities of

flight, air, movement, and grace. Highly inspirational when working

with the inner self. Works well with not only the Throat Chakra, but

the Heart, Third Eye and Crown Chakra. These stones (along with

malachite) assist in left/right-brain balance. Therefore, those who

feel stuck in their logical, rational selves can rebalance so that

they may hear their intuitive voices.

 

 

Charoite

Properties: The stone of transformation. Charoite helps seeing old

patterns with new possibilities. It is believed to open the heart,

allow inspiration, encourage service, and grants us the ability for

seeing more clearly (mentally, physically, psychically). It is

believed that this stone brings about faster healing. Some find it

useful for entity release work. Most effective on the upper centers

of energy, which are the Heart, Brow and Crown Chakra to

transmute/lift us out of troubled or stuck emotions and most of all,

fear. This brings about vibrational change and therefore stimulates

the Aura. Use this stone for transforming negative energies into

acceptance. Use Charoite to assist in the foresight and ability to

improve your intuitive vision.

 

 

Hematite

Properties: This crystal is the most recommended stone for grounding

and is associated with the Root Chakra, by encourages ones survival

instincts and is centering. Hematite condenses scattered feelings,

turns fuzziness into mental clarity, enhances concentration, memory,

practicality, helps those who study, do bookkeeping, detailed work

and helps with sound sleep. Considered the symbol of life energy,

hematite allows for more confidence, will power and boldness. Helps

us adjust to being physical. A protective stone and helps bolster low

self-esteem. Hematite is known to deflect negativity. It restores

equilibrium, stability and is also used for astral protection. It

brings our awareness back to the body and helps one maintain their

sense of self.

 

 

Kyanite

Properties: Kyanite is considered the " Earth Stone " due to its

soothing earth tone colors, as well as its grounding and tranquil

nature. The healing benefits depend on the color it comes in. Blue

Kyanite is most effective when placed on the Throat Chakra in order

to open the throat for communication and self expression. On the Brow

(Third Eye) Chakra, it enhances psychic images, foresight,

consciousness and meditation. Kyanite is used to answer questions,

especially in imagery, such as in vision, dreams or written

interpretations. It brings out our natural ability to manifest things

into reality via thoughts and visualization.

 

 

Malachite

Properties: Stimulates physical and psychic vision and concentration.

Use for the heart and solar plexus centers. These stones (along with

blue lace agate) assist in left/right-brain balance. Therefore, those

who feel stuck in their logical, rational selves can rebalance so

that they may hear their intuitive voices.

 

 

Moldavite

Properties: Powerfully expands psychic abilities, channeling. On

Heart Chakra. Eases longing to leave earth. On pillow, brow, crown:

Telepathic access to spiritual laws, info from higher regions/places

to help us and Earth to be healthier and more spiritual.

 

 

Petalite

Properties: Petalite is highly spiritual. It has been called

the " stone of the Angels " and will help one connect with one's

guides. It is also said to dissolve negativity and black magic

spells. Petalite has been used on vision quests for strength,

protection, and peace. It will balance one's yin/yang qualities as

well as one's mind, body, and spirit. It also enhances one's ability

to feel energy in stones.

 

 

Phenacite:

Properties: A powerfully loving, healing, spiritual stone. Clearer

stones intensely opens 3rd eye, Crown and Transpersonal Chakra as a

white light channel. Clairvoyance/spiritual communication,

meditation, astral travel, journeys. Helps one to map out a pathway

within the dimensions. Energizes meridians and healing of other

stones. It is a powerful stone for clearing and activating the

chakras, in particular, the Third Eye and Crown chakras. It helps one

to go further in meditation, and gives a deep awareness of one's

inner structures, the chakras in particular. Phenacite in general can

be used to amplify the energies of other stones used for healing, and

to balance energy within one.

 

 

Tiger's Eye:

Properties: This stone is most recognized for bringing money, psychic

protection, courage, luck confidence, willpower, clear thinking and

speaking to show us the personal power in life that we have. Very

versatile for the Yellow/Solar Plexus and Crown Chakra. Tiger's Eye

works on our mental plane by amplifying thinking and manifesting what

you think about. Helps separate thoughts from feelings, more

centered, less emotional. Tiger's Eye allows us to recognize both our

talents and our faults. It can reveal your true needs without our

self-serving or rigid mental attitudes getting in the way. Use

Tiger's Eye with malachite or pearl to benefit from their synergy for

mental/emotional balance and true understanding. This stone helps

change anxiety, fear and obsessiveness into practicality and logic.

Has the grounding energy of the earth, but is embellished with a

glowing warmth. A stone for people who need more confidence to

accomplish their goals. Draws helpful people and material things to

the wearer. Centers energy and mental focus. This stone helps us to

find our closest version of perfectionism without obsessive behavior.

Honoring All Hallow's Eve

 

Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated

among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish

immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the

nineteenth century.

 

The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is

shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of " All Hallows'

Day " ,[1] also which is now known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of

religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,

[2] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian

feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1. In the ninth

century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in

accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is

now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays

were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the

Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints,

and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was

celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although

secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil

was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II

calendar.

 

Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures,

hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when

spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is

most potent (according to, for example, Catalan mythology about

witches and Irish tales of the Sídhe).

[Guest guest]

As a former Brit (emigrated 1948) I am very interested, I have only a very

little knowledge of your field but I do have experience in rock hunting for

many years and in fact I have a front border filled with lapidary quality

rocks of all kinds, my late husband and I were avid rockhounds and always

either went out in the field or visited local rock shops for quality rough

when travelling. Now I am 81 so my rock-hounding days are done but what I

do need help with is improvement in energy and ability to concentrate on the

job at hand as I invariably get an idea and, quick, have to check up on it

and therefore never seem to complete routine (invariably boring) tasks.

 

I would appreciate your counsel on this matter, I have become agnostic and

anti doctors and especially 'big pharma' and I am appalled at some of the

blatent opposition to natural medicine that is going on. In fact I joined a

group called Natural Medicine (I think) which group is actively fighting the

FDA to try to stop the harassment of alternative doctors and those who are

trying to beat the system.
