Lemurian Quartz

Lemurian Quartz are considered to be one of the most powerful crystal forms. They teach us that we are all connected in spirit and help us value others and treat each other kindly. They help to clear and activate chakras and remove blockages. They are wonderful for all kinds of healing, energy work, meditation and Reiki. They help us connect with higher spirit. Also called “Lemurian Seed Crystals” or "Lemurian Star Seeds",  Lemurian Quartz Crystals were originally found in Brazil. The ones we offer are from the Minas Gerais, Brazil  mine.   Metaphysical Lore states that there was once an advanced ancient civilization called Lemuria, that was very peaceful and evolved. When it was their time to leave the earth, they wanted a way to communicate with us in the future. Legend says they planted these crystals (or seeded them) for us to find in the future. The crystals were programmed with messages of love and healing from the Lemurians. These crystals are encoded with their messages of light to be found in the distant future  by us. That time is now. The legend also says that the Lemurians planted the crystals in a grid pattern on the earth and in other dimensions. When you hold one of these amazing cyrystals, it is said that you connect with the other energies in this grid.  Lemurian Crystals have a distinctive look.  Instead of smooth sides like most quartz has, Lemurians have  horizontal striations or grooves on one or more sides.  Some will have one grooved side and the rest smooth, others may have more grooved sides. The Lemurians are formed in sand instead of rock which causes these distinctive markings. Lemurian Quartz Crystals are often found in the shape of a Laser wand, which is a great shape for directing energy. As opposed to Quartz Crystals that you program, Lemurian Quartz Crystals are a type of Quartz that you activate instead.  They have already been programmed by the Lemurians. As you meditate, rub your finger along the grooves on the side of a Lemurian Quartz Crystal to activate and and allow yourself connect to the Lemurian energy grid and knowledge.

Reason, Season or Lifetime

I just love this and as we look at starting a new year 2015, I want to share this with you. You may have read it before but it is always worth another read!

Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you figure out which one it is,you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;to provide you with guidance and support;to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

About Indigo Gabbro (Mystic Merlinite)

About Indigo Gabbro (also called Mystic Merlinite)

Indigo Gabbro is a relatively new crystal mined in Madagascar and a few locations

in Alaska. It ranges in color from light indigo purple to black. This stone is a combination of minerals including feldspar, chlorite, serpentine, muscovite, pyroxene, and magnetite. In fact, Gabbro is an essential part of the oceanic crust that underlies the Earth’s surface.

The energy of Indigo Gabbro creates a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds inspiring the holder to accept and highly value their psychic abilities. Also good for easing temper, calming hot flashes, bruises, sprains and immune system disorders, Indigo Gabbro is associated with the 3rd eye and root chakras and aligns with the astrological sign of Sagittarius.
