To represent the energy of the sun – sunstone
To represent the energy of the moon – moonstone
To align with heaven and earth – chrysocolla
If you can do this outside, it will be lovely, but since that is not always possible – anywhere else is just fine! Also, most people say do it at sunrise because this represents new beginnings… but once again, it’s not always possible. All you need to do is connect with the energy at sunrise and create your own time of new beginnings!
- Hold each of your crystals in turn, taking a moment to fully connect with each of them.
- Sunstone brings you the energy of the Sun, and through the Sun – the element of Fire. This is a hugely useful energy to work with – massive transformation!
- Moonstone brings you the energy of the Moon, and through the Moon – the element of Water – massively cleansing!
- The other gift of these two crystals is the masculine and feminine energy they hold, so work with them a moment before you move on to chrysocolla. Sunstone holds the masculine energy and moonstone the feminine energy, so with the moonstone in your non-dominant hand and the sunstone in your dominant hand – ask the stones to balance these two energies before you start and sit quietly while it happens. You’ll know when it’s done!
- Chrysocolla aligns you with Heaven and Earth and represents new beginnings. It is also a deeply, deeply healing stone and its greatest potential for healing is at the sacral chakra, so if at any point while you are working you feel you need to place it in this area – go for it. It will only do good things!
- So, hold your crystals, stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground – or floor if you are indoors – and send roots deep down into Mother Earth. This connects you to earth.
- Now take your awareness up to the crown and make a connection to Source, the Divine, God…. what word you use to describe this is just fine. This connects you to heaven.
- Now, as it is Solstice and the Sun is at the height of its power – become aware of the Sun, and allow the solar energy to flow into your system through the highest chakra you are working with at this time. Let it flow down to fill your central channel and then out into every part of your physical body. Let sunlight infuse your mind, body and soul with vibrant and healing light.
- Now, sit down and connect to the elemental energy of Fire which is carried by the sunlight in to your energy system. What do you want to transform at this powerful moment in time? When you have decided, breathe in the energy of fire, drawing it in to your system through the solar plexus – the place where you hold this element in your energy system – and set the intention to breathe it out towards whatever you want to transform. You may want to place the sunstone on the chakra before you do this because the crystal will clear and empower the solar plexus most effectively.
- Continue breathing this way until you feel you have sent enough Fire energy to achieve your goal and disconnect from the Sun, sitting quietly while your energy settles. You may want to check your energy system and ground any excess energy. You may have quite a lot!
- Now ground, return and send thoughts of love and gratitude to your crystals, and you can either place them on your altar or you may want to carry them with you throughout the day to remind you of the energy of new beginnings.
Additional stone to use on Solstice Day: Another crystal associated with the Sun is citrine. It would be a good stone to carry with you on Solstice Day. It transforms any negative energy into positive energy and it will help you focus on what you wish to manifest or transform after you have worked with your other three crystals. It also has the very handy ability to attract abundance of all kinds into your life!!
Have a happy Solstice!
Bright Blessings!
