All this week I have been watching cars… not something I usually do while I am at work, but there are roadworks at the end of the street. There is also a road closure, but very few people are actually taking any notice of it. There are so many signs saying you cannot turn right at the end of the road it is quite ridiculous, but, astonishingly, drivers are still driving straight up to the barrier, putting their indicators on and expecting to turn right… and they have been doing it repeatedly … for days.
It has become so bad that workmen are not actually working any more. They are lined up at the barriers to make sure that people don’t ignore the signs and turn right… and drive straight down into the big hole in the road, I assume. Some of the poor men have even had to take huge amounts of verbal abuse from people who are insisting they should be able to turn right, whether the road is closed or not. There have been times when I could hardly believe it and, scarily, times when it has been all too easy to believe since “me as the centre of the universe” is such a common attitude now. I seriously don’t like it at all!
But, I digress… the point of mentioning the roadworks is this – I want you to take a moment out of your busy day and check that you are not behaving like some of these daft drivers.
We have just come to the end of a 9 year and we spent most of the twelve stressful months clearing rubbish from our systems – thought patterns, behaviour patterns. You name it we found it, we worked with it and we darn well went ahead and cleared it… over and over again. Most of us worked so hard that by the time we came to this year we were completely exhausted!
But, now, of course, the trouble is this – we were probably stuck in those old patterns for so long there is a chance that they have become our automatic responses to certain situations and we could be those drivers… just driving down that road and expecting to do the same thing as we always did when we get to the end. We would have done or thought the same thing for years, always reacted the same way for years, always expected the world to react the same if we did the same thing… the trouble is…. none of that is true anymore.
So, please take the time to check that all your new ways of thinking and behaving are up and running and that you are not slipping back into any of the old, redundant ways. You seriously don’t need to do that anymore. You are free to embrace totally new ways of being, thinking, behaving, and it really is time to make the most of the nice shiny new version of you that you created by doing vast amounts of clearing work last year. You don’t want to give that old version any opportunities to raise its ugly head and sabotage you! Find new things to do and discover different ways of reacting, especially if repeating patterns are coming up for you.
One way of doing this is to use crystals to keep your brow chakra clear and, of course, your mind free from all those old, deeply embedded responses.
If you work on this energy centre, it will help you to remove fear as a default response to anything that appears in your life to challenge you, especially the fear of thinking and behaving in new, unfamiliar ways. It will help you trust that the world simply is not going to end just because you don’t do what you have always done for donkeys years. This in turn will then allow you to have a fabulous and truly abundant life…and who wouldn’t want that?
Also, the crystals will help you make a deeper, more appropriate connection to your intuition and the higher versions of yourself that can help you through this tricky transitional period. The stones will also help you tap into the knowledge held by the higher versions of yourself (higher self and your soul, depending on where you are on your journey) and access their wisdom and power, which, of course, is really yours anyway. You’ve just forgotten! It’s all there inside you. You just have to accept that and run with it really!
Amethyst would be a really good stone to use at the brow chakra. There are many countless reasons why you should do this and I could be typing forever if I tried to put them all in a blog. It’s an amazingly effective stone. But, I want to go with this advice – if you are drawn to using amethyst just: GO FOR IT!
Don’t worry about what the stone does. Just focus on whether or not it is the best thing for you to use. If it is, you will know, and choosing this way will help you start to make empowered choices about using crystals rather than depending on your mind to make the choice for you by looking at endless lists telling you exactly what it can do for you.
Amethyst is a wonderful crystal and it works. Seriously, what else do you need to know? It’s really more about is – it the right intuitive choice for you when you want to do some work! Whatever happens, this lovely version of quartz will always bring intense spiritual growth whatever you do with it, and, surely, that is what we all want, isn’t it?
Another stone to consider using is sodalite. It will help you enormously if you want to do this kind of work. So, just do the same thing – feel around whether or not it is the right stone for you to use. It is already a brow chakra stone, so its vibrational frequency will work well in this energy centre. Just focus on finding out if it is the right one, if it will benefit you to work with it.
One way of doing this and starting to choose this way is to take a piece of amethyst and a piece of sodalite, line them up in front of you and set the intention that you want your eyes to be drawn to the one you need to use the most. Trust me, it will work every, single time!
And, of course, as always, you are the authority on your journey on the earthplane and, if you find you are drawn to another brow chakra crystal… run with it!! You always know the vibration you lack… always…. so your job is to allow yourself to be drawn to this vibration in crystalline form and use that particular stone with conscious intent to adjust your frequency and re-calibrate your system. It really is that simple!
So, please take a look at all your responses and make sure they really, truly are appropriate ones for the new you. Most of us did so much work last year that we deserve to be embracing a new, easier way this year!
But, it always comes down to a choice at the end of the day. So are you reacting in the old ways… or responding to situations … what is your:
response-ability
i.e. the ability to respond to a situation and make empowered choices to deal with it rather than allowing yourself to be dis-empowered by it all.
Both amethyst and sodalite will be more than happy to help you what ever you decide to do! they are marvelous crystal allies.
Bright Blessings
