July 2018 Blog with Spotlight on Clear Crystal Quartz
/Our theme for July is “Independence and Abundance” and our Spotlight is on “Clear Quartz Crystal”.
"Independence is happiness" Susan B. Anthony
The theme of “Independence” is timely because on July 4th we celebrate American Independence day. There is so much we can sometimes take for granted living in this great and complicated USA. Sometimes in my angst over the news I can forget how very fortunate I am to be in land of the free and the home of the brave. This got me to thinking about my own "independence".
What does it mean to be personally independent? A true feeling of independence starts with an energy that fuels the human spirit. But here is what I quickly conclude that a sense of independence is also recognizing that freedom is a state of mind. Of course it help to have that “state of mind” in the USA (for those of us who are fortunate enough to live here). Independence also means having a sense of connection, gratitude, awareness, self-reliance, dominion and safety. So the ironic thing is to be "personally independent" we need healthy connections to others. Ha! Interesting. So being personally independent means having:
- Connection – fostering healthy relationships (spouse, family, friends)
- Gratitude – deep appreciation for all that you have
- Awareness – being awake to the moment
- Self-Reliance – knowing you can do it
- Dominion – owning your personal space
- Safety/Home – no matter where you are “home” is within
Personal independence is something that no one can ever take from you, because it has nothing to do with external stuff. Your personal power is where you reign.
“ Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune in to””
This quote by Wayne Dyer (1940-2015) really touches a nerve in me. Maybe abundance is not something we have to “get” maybe we have always had”. Hmmm…thought provoking. I recently started reading the “The Abundance Project Book” by Derek Rydell and found some of his thoughts helpful.
My friend Kacey Morabito Grean recently interviewed the author Derek Rydell on her radio show/podcast and that is what inspired me to get the book. You can listen to the Podcast here. You can click on image to the right to be taken to Amazon to purchase a copy of the book.
SPOTLIGHT ON CRYSTALS – CLEAR CRYSTAL QUARTZ
Clear quartz is the most iconic of the quartz family. One of the most abundant minerals in the world, clear quartz is found on every continent. For this reason, quartz is tied to many ancient cultures from around the world. The term “quartz” comes from the Greek word for “ice”. For Crystal Healing therapy Clear Quartz is considered the “master healer”.
Quartz has a hardness score of 7. That makes it extremely durable, and apt for a wide range of uses especially in our electronics driven world. Quartz is in our cell phones, computers and more. The hexagonal structured system of the crystal is made up of silicon dioxide. Just as the human body is comprised of silicon dioxide, the earth’s crust consists of 12% silicon dioxide. Many believe that this similarity in cellular composition accounts for the interactive communication between gemstones like quartz and the human body.
A scientist at IBM, Marcel Vogel, has studied the connection between human emotion and the molecular structure of crystals. He believed that the crystal’s cellular formation was susceptible to change depending on what he was thinking at the time. According to Vogel, the crystal reacts to your “program” and mirrors it in its own composition.
Quartz is an amplifier. It can be programmed to manifest intentions. To program the quartz with your intentions, hold it in the palm of your hand, and focus on what you want to transfer into the crystal. The crystal’s memory will download your intentions, and help to manifest those goals through its ability to amplify in the same way it does in technological devices. However, quartz healing properties will amplify any energy surrounding or being put into it, so making sure to occasionally cleanse the stone is important in order to maintain a positive energy.
You can cleanse you Quartz by running it under water, placing it in the moonlight, or on a bed of Himalayan salt.
Quartz can help open up the mind and elevate negative perspectives to more enlightened point of view. Its metaphysical purposes are vast, from helping to expand consciousness to facilitating open communication and stimulating the chakras. For those needing clarity of mind, clear quartz healing properties will eliminate energy blockages and allow energy to flow smoothly throughout the body.
