I think describing the way energized particles are ejected from the sun as the sun vomited is perfect. It gives you such a vivid mental image and you can almost see all those tiny pieces of solar energy (called the solar wind once they leave the sun and whiz towards us) flying away from the star. It looks beautiful and is amazing… until, of course, they slam into the Earth’s magnetosphere. That’s when those of us who are sensitive run into trouble. As the Earth’s magnetic field is disrupted, so are all the other smaller magnetic fields held within it, including ours. It’s a macrocosm and microcosm thing.
We also have to deal with a huge influx of light cascading through our system as well and it is rather like a really bright torch being pointed into all our dark places, illuminating them, and showing us all the things we have carefully left there where they can’t be found or even seen. Foolishly, we think we are safe, but this kind of light exposes them and brings them all up to the surface so we have no choice but to deal with them. How lovely for us, eh?
So, for those of you who knew the sun developed a coronal hole* last week, the chaos which followed with all the usual symptoms – exhaustion, mood swings, headaches, joint and muscle pain, nausea, irritation … the list goes on and on unfortunately – would have come as no surprise. It was only a pain in the proverbial! If you didn’t know, it will explain why you felt so appalling. Or, alternatively, you may have even been tempted to get a BIG stick and smack the back of someone’s head… or maybe it just me! But having your nerves severely jangled for days on end can cause all sorts of unusual and unexpected responses.
(*A hole forms in the surface of the sun allowing particles from the centre of the star to be ejected rather than just surface matter flying away.)
The really sensitive ones among us can feel the actual eruption from the sun’s surface. It’s a bit of a shock and then everyone else feels it about 48 hours later when the energized particles actually arrive – it’s a long way from the sun to here! And coming so soon after the week at the end of September when we had 8 solar flares, it has probably been a bit much. So, now things have started to settle, I thought I’d recommend a crystal to work with: Unikite.
Unikite – Stone of Vision and Transformation
Key Qualities: Release and Re-birth
Helpfully, the qualities of Unikite are balancing and stabilizing, both of which will help enormously and it also release emotions, so it will help you get rid of anything the influx of light brought up for clearing. It also resonates with the frequency of love, compassion and kindness which is useful again because we need all those to help ourselves and deal with other people who may have erupted into a full blown healing crisis. The stone is dedicated to balancing the emotional body, which will have a good knock on effect on the mental body as well, so if you don’t have a piece, dash out and get a bit immediately!
One of the other things Unikite does is help you release anything which is inhibiting your growth. This is good because this is what the solar flares are designed to do as well. So the two things work well together to help you move forward on your spiritual path. It facilitates re-birthing and allows you to integrate insights from your past and often enables you to see the root cause of the blockages which are surfaces, so you can clear them completely. What a fabulous stone!
Helpful Tip: if you have been feeling emotionally confused, anxious, depressed or as if you have no idea what the future holds for you, sleep with Unikite under your pillow. I think that description covers most things we have been experiencing since these huge energy shifts started earlier in the year and we are back to dashing to the nearest crystal shop, probably looking for an industrial sized stone. But, fear not, even a small tumble stone will work!
Sleeping with Unikite will also help if you want to resolve any issues from your past. When you wake, you will often find you have greater clarity about the whole situation and have new ideas about how to deal with it. Unikite encourages you to live in the present rather than the past, so it is great for this kind of work.
Chakra Work: the most beneficial thing to do right now is to use Unikite on the base and earthstar chakras – simultaneously if you have two pieces or work with the base then the earthstar. It stimulates these chakras, enhancing the grounding mechanism, and it will allow any excess energy in your system to move down through the base chakra, so it can be safely earthed. This will include excess electrical energy from flare activity and any mental and emotional energy you have generated during your clearing process. This will also mean you are more grounded, which is useful when your system is taking a battering! And if you add red jasper at the base chakra it will bless you with strength and stamina, which is exactly what we all need at the moment!
Heart and Thymus – the stone works powerfully at these two energy centres. It also connects the energy of the thymus chakra with the heart centre, which helps you be more loving and compassionate towards yourself (and others, of course!). It also helps you clear low self-esteem here and develop a real sense of self-appreciation.
Brow – It opens and activates this chakra and clears the way for the knowledge from the higher aspects of yourself (Higher Self, I AM Presence or Soul, depending on your current level of development) to flow down to your heart for understanding and implementation.
Meditation – hold your Unikite and notice the way the pink and the green swirl and blend together to make up this beautiful stone. Feel the serene energy of the stone flow into you, calming you. Ask it to balance and stabilize you on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – and sit quietly while this happens. Feel the crystal start to warm you and translate that warmth into self-appreciation. Allow yourself to become aware of yourself in new ways and to fully acknowledge exactly how special and unique you are and what fabulous gifts you bring to the earthplane.
Now ask the Unikite to bring to the surface anything which is inhibiting or limiting your growth process and or your ability to fully appreciate yourself. And, when the stone does this, intend that any negative energy is released with ease and grace. You do not have to re-connect with it, just breathe it out. Let it float safely away on your out breath.
If you become aware of any blockages in your chakras during the release process, place your stone there and ask for its help. Or if you feel any tension in your physical body, you can place the stone there as well. Just remember to blow on the stone to clean it if you move it to move than one location.
After a while, if you want to, you can use an affirmation to enhance your release process. And remember: sound + intent = healing or result. The thought you have before you speak or make any kind of sound will have a huge affect on what you want to achieve. So set the intention you want to resonate the whole of your physical body and your subtle bodies with the sound of your words and keep repeating them until you feel the vibration everywhere. And, if you can think of a better way to phrase this – go for it. The affirmation is only a guide for you to follow. However, you do not have to follow it blindly!
I release limitation on all levels and allow myself to open to a feeling of self-appreciation.
So, I hope you enjoy making a new friend with Unikite. It is a lovely stone and it will support anyone who is feeling lost, overwhelmed or who is having trouble focussing on the here and now. And if you are lucky enough to have more than one piece, leaving several in a bowl in a room will bring a gentle calming energy into your environment – what more could you want with all this mad, disruptive energy about? It also helpfully reduces the effects of electromagnetic smog.
And one last thing – if you need to boost Unikite’s vibration of love and compassion – use it with Varisite, Tugtupite or Dioptase.
Unikite is a stone which just keeps on giving. Have fun with it!
And I’d keep a piece handy for the last Supermoon in the series next week which is also designed to bring up more of our stuff…
Some days it feels like it will never end, doesn’t it? And, at this point, all we can do is hang in there and remember Unikite is happy to help. All you have to do in return is offer thoughts of love and gratitude after it has helped you! And clean it … leaving a stone cram-packed full of all your rubbish is a cruel thing to do!
