July 2021 Theme Independence
/
NYC Fireworks 2018
Our theme for July of “Independence” is timely because of course in July we celebrate American Independence day on July 4th. That got me to thinking about my own personal independence. There is so much we can sometimes take for granted living in this great and complicated USA.
“Independence is happiness.” Susan B. Anthony
What does it mean to be personally independent?
A true feeling of independence starts with an energy, a force that fuels and permeates the human spirit. But here is what I quickly conclude. 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. But it also means having awareness of connection, gratitude, awareness, self-reliance, sovereignty, and safety.
A Sense of Connection – fostering healthy relationships
A Sense of Gratitude – nurturing an attitude of gratitude for all that you have
A Sense of Awareness – being awake to the moment
A Sense of Self-Reliance – knowing you can do it
A Sense of Dominion – owning your personal space
A Sense of Home – no matter where you are at any time, “home” is within
Personal independence is non-negotiable; a commodity that no one can ever take from you, because it has nothing to do with external stuff. Your personal sovereignty is where you reign.
Clear Quartz Crystal is our Crystal of the Month.
“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune in to. —WAYNE DYER"
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 into the lore of many ancient cultures from around the world. The term “quartz” comes from the Greek word for “ice”. For Crystal Healing therapy it 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.
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.
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. You can cleanse and energize your Quartz by running it under water, placing it in the moonlight, or on a bed of Himalayan salt.
July is traditionally a month of vacation, it is also a month where we are invited to slow down, relax and allow contemplation. Keep your vibration as high as you can and navigate it well. Know that we are here at Rose Healing to support you.
