Quartz: The Master Healer

One of the most powerful of energy stones, quartz crystals are also some of the most commonly available as well as largest and most diverse in the mineral kingdom.

Clear quartz may be the first color that comes to mind, it is naturally found in nearly every color all over the world. Many favorite stones are actually quartz minerals, such as citrine, amethyst, agates, aventurine, calcite, chalcedony, tiger’s eye and others.

Quartz is often mixed with other crystals and stones. It is frequently part of common rock such as granite and gneiss, and in sediments like sandstone. Rutilated quartz is when (typically clear) quartz is found with filaments of other minerals, like angel hairs laid throughout.

Not sure of one of these beautiful varieties are a form of or related to the powerful quartz crystal? Each of these varieties share a hexagonal lattice, naturally forming in points with five sides, and whose qualities naturally amplify energy and intention.

By nature of it’s diverse color and composition, quartz is a powerful tool. For this reason – ALWAYS check your energy and intentions before working with quartz of any kind.

Resonating at the level of an individual’s needs, quartz amplifies energy programmed into it, for better or worse, and continues to transmit that energy throughout the world and into the etheric realms.

In ancient times, these stones were thought to be alive, taking a breath once every hundred years or so, and many cultures thought them to be incarnations of the Divine.

Alana Fairchild in her book, Angel Crystals 444, describes clear quartz as 

“… a Master Healer. It amplifies energy – hence the teaching from the Angel of Clear Quartz is to become clear and aware of your energy, intention and thought.”

Wear jewelry adorned with clear quartz or carry a small clear quartz stone in a pocket to feel its energizing benefits throughout the day and to keep it close at hand for trying moments.

Also, add a clear quartz stone to your water bottle or in a bath for cleansing and healing throughout your body.

Spiritual Ecology, The Cry of the Earth

Showing the deep connection between our present ecological crisis and our lack of awareness of the sacred nature of creation, this series of essays from spiritual and environmental leaders around the world shows how humanity can transform its relationship with the Earth. Combining the thoughts and beliefs from a diverse range of essayists, this collection highlights the current ecological crisis and articulates a much-needed spiritual response to it. Perspectives from Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity, and Native American beliefs as well as physics, deep psychology, and other environmental disciplines, make this a well-rounded contribution.

“Our present ecological crisis is the greatest man-made disaster this planet has ever faced. Its accelerating climate change, species depletion, pollution and acidification of the oceans. A central but rarely addressed aspect of this crisis is our forgetfulness of the sacred nature of creation, and how this affects our relationship to the environment. There is a pressing need to articulate a spiritual response to this ecological crisis. This is vital and necessary if we are to help bring the world as a living whole back into balance.” – from Spiritual Ecology:  The Cry of the Earth

Obsidian for Cleansing Spiritual Smog

Color: typically Black, as well as other colors and patterns
Chakra: Root
Associated with: Aura cleansing, Grounding, Releasing anger or resentment, Protection
Resonates well with: Clear Quartz and Selenite

Obsidian rock forms from molten lava that cooled very quickly and had no time to form into glass. There are a number of different variations of this mineral, and it comes in a range of types and colors. This includes the gorgeous snowflake and rainbow obsidian, forming in intricate patterns. A gift from deep within the earth, obsidian has been used for tools and jewelry since the stone age.

As with many black stones, obsidian’s resonance is a natural grounding and healing energy. It’s rich dark colors resonate with the root chakra, helping to connect one’s natural flow solidly and safely to the earth, lending protection and dispelling negative energy.

Obsidian meaning is deeply rooted in its reflective nature, well suited to amplifying psychic abilities and prophesy. Obsidian cuts through illusions to reveal the reality of a situation, and is often used to “clear the smog” in auras and energetic channels.

All these attributes can be soothing especially for those whose faith may be shaken or faltering, lending one a sense of confidence to continue exploring your spiritual path.
