Most people have heard of amethyst. Most people have worn it, not to mention used it in all sorts of ways. It is a popular crystal and easily obtainable and loads and loads has already been written about it, so I wondered why I had to do the same when there is so much information already out there… I had no idea until I read an article about an energy wave heading our way from the Great Central Sun. It is due to hit on Solstice Day and it seems we need to do some work before it gets here.
The incoming galactic energy is apparently going to help us reach a place where we can really take on board the fact that we are …. well, love! And nothing but love! And that everything around us is exactly the same… just love! The frequency of the energy wave is designed to dissolve any blockages we have in and around our hearts, so it will be useful if we start clearing now so the energy doesn’t have so much to do when it arrives and we will be far less likely to be discombobulated by it when it downloads into our systems.
It is also going to affect your mental body and your thought processes, helping you accept the truth of the fact that we are love… never easy when you are in a 3D world, surrounded by people who are vibrating at a 3D level and you are vibrating at a completely different frequency! But, this energy should help, so the more space you have in your Four Body System, the better it will be.
So, why amethyst if the incoming energy wave is designed to clear the heart? This crystal is usually recommended as a brow and crown chakra stone. But, it works incredibly effectively at the heart chakra as well.
One of the many things amethyst does in the heart chakra is to stimulate your heartspace, helping you to open yourself up to give and receive love and do this in more appropriate ways for you. It also helps you understand more fully what you need and desire and it will help you act on this deep inner knowing … again in appropriate ways.
Lastly – and this can apply to the brow and the crown as well as the heart, though the wisdom of this starts in the heart before it rises up to the higher chakras – amethyst will encourage you to release anything that is holding you back so you can fully embrace your spiritual destiny….
Well, they say spiritual destiny. Since you are a spiritual being any destiny you chose to embrace is your spiritual destiny really! And, at the moment the only thing we really truly have to do is come face to face with our Authentic Selves and embrace them, embodying them fully on the earthplane at this time.
So, back to why amethyst… or rather … how can we use amethyst at the heart? Well, it is ridiculously simple. All you do is focus your intent and place a piece of amethyst on your heart. Yes – it really is just that easy.
Most other stones used at the heart make you see what you have hidden away or, quite frankly, just buried so you don’t have to deal with it anymore. We’ve all … been there, done that on more than one occasion, there is usually a lot of stuff in that chakra! Anyway, heart stones more often than not, make you aware of all your rubbish. They make you see it in great detail and, quite often, they make you re-experience it and it can be quite horrible. I mean the reason you buried the darn stuff in the first place was because it was painful and you wanted to avoid dealing with it! So the gift of amethyst is – when used with the right intention – it just acts as a hoover and pulls the stuff out without you having to feel the pain all over again. Once was enough, surely!
So, sit quietly with your amethyst and ask it to help you clear anything which you no longer need on any level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – and if you are already aware of the blockage you need to clear – name it, so the stone can get to work straight away once you ask it to start removing energy from the chakra. Clear intentions always get clear results….
But, also add that you when you find what needs to be cleared (if you haven’t already named it) that you are made fully aware of the lesson you need to learn associated with the blockage otherwise you will only create it all over again at a later date. You can do this exercise without knowing specifically what needs to be released, though.
Once you have done this, place the stone over your heart and ask it to help you tune in to heartspace and connect with what you have stored away in your heart on a much deeper level than the conscious level. Amethyst is seriously good at this, which is why it also resonates with the higher chakras because the brow and crown are also connected to the way you access your deep inner knowing and your own innate wisdom. So if you are guided to place the stone on either of these two chakras while you are working – go for it! It will help enormously.
Then, when you feel ready, ask your amethyst to start pulling out any negative energy which is currently stuck in your heart. It will then magically become a hoover and just dragging stuff you don’t need any more out. It’s astonishing and extremely effective, and all you have to do is be fully present while the crystal works, co-creating your healing experience with it.
You will know when the release has finished and you can either thank the stone and cleanse it and put it away, or you can start all over again and remove something else. The choice is yours. You know what you need to do to become whole again. So just run with it!
The other bonus you get when working with amethyst is that it dissolves negative energy in your energy field when you are holding it, replacing it with its own high frequency vibration and this in turn acts like shield. It is like having a fabulous bubble of violet spiritual light all around you while you work with your stone. It holds you safely in a clean environment, making it easier to relax and go with the whole releasing experience.
Lastly, when you work with amethyst, it will gift you with calmness and clarity, so it is the perfect stone to use at the moment when we are completely surrounded by confusion, not to mention absolute chaos! It will also, at a more subtle level, clear the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies, and link them to the spiritual body. Both of these things will help you enormously, so if I were you I’d be talking to a piece of amethyst straight away!
