At the moment one of the best things you can do is to offer your physical body as much love and support as you possibly can. So below is a meditation which will allow you to do this, and it works really well for two important reasons:
- The frequency of the colour violet held inside the amethyst, depresses the motor functions of the brain just a little which is why it is one of the best meditation crystals. It won’t immobilize you, of course, but it will help you attain and maintain stillness, and this in turn will help your body rest and relax more easily.
- The sound will vibrate through your body, helping it rest and relax in a different way.
So, find an amethyst that wants to help you do all this, cleanse it, and just go for it!
Crystal and Sound Meditation
- Relax and focus on your breath, setting the intention that you want to breathe out anything that your body does not need any more. If you are aware of something specific like tension, pain, or stress, add this to your intention and it will enhance the result you get. Then just keep breathing out until you become aware of your body’s response. It will relax… if you let it.
- Now ground firmly and spend a few moments with your body, silently telling it you have put aside this time to offer what help and support you can with your crystal and your sound.
- Now before you start working, set the clear intention that you want to use the energy from your amethyst and the vibrations from your sound to clear any negativity you are ready and willing to release at this time.
- Now gaze at your amethyst, taking in every detail – its colour, its shape, the way the light affects it, the vibration that radiates from it in all directions. Become fully aware of it on every level and, when you are ready, close your eyes and see or sense it inside your head. The best place is right in the middle of your head between the two hemispheres of your brain.
- See or sense the crystal glowing, quietly radiating its calm energy outwards until it fills the whole of your head. Then let it flow down into the rest of your body. Let the lovely violet light fill every part of you and use your breath to release anything it has disrupted, so the negativity can flow gently out of your physical body, allowing it to relax even more.
- Now set the intention that you want the sound you are going to make for the next part of the exercise to resonate in the heart of your crystal in the centre of your head. The sound that is usually recommended is OM, but if you are drawn to something else or your body asks for something else, go with that. This is your co-creation with your sound, your crystal, and your body… no one else’s!
- Now take a breath and make your sound and allow yourself to become aware of the way it is resonating in the heart of your crystal. It is adding to the calming vibration that is already coming out of your crystal and when the crystal becomes full of your sound, a new combined frequency will start to flow out of it to fill your head and then it will flow down to fill the rest of your body. And all you have to do it keep toning the sound you have chosen to work and send it to the etheric crystal in the middle of your head until your body tells you to stop.
- Just sit in the sonic field you are creating and allow yourself to experience all the vibrations resonating inside it. See or sense the way they are helping your body, clearing it, soothing it, re-calibrating it and, be open to receive a message from your body at any time. It may want another sound after a while. Or it may want you to make the sound silently instead of out loud. Just go wherever the meditation takes you.
- If you are drawn to the space between your eyebrows and you feel the combined frequency of your sound and your crystal is opening the brow chakra, place your attention there because one of the gifts of amethyst is that it allows you to connect with your deep inner wisdom. If you feel drawn to do this, take this opportunity and rest your awareness in the chakra while you continue to make your sound. You may find you get an answer to a problem you have been trying to solve or you may find your awareness is drawn up to a higher aspect of yourself. If this part of you has a message for you, just listen with an open mind and an open heart and thank them for their help after you have received the information they have for you.
- When you eventually feel guided to stop, let your sound fade into silence, thank the etheric amethyst inside your head, thank the physical amethyst in front of you and, finally, earth any excess energy that is floating around your body, letting it flow through you, down your legs and into the earth.
- Now ground firmly and return your awareness to your surroundings.
I hope you and your crystal all have a grand adventure together and your body feels much better afterwards.
Bright blessings!
