Thank you to all those of you braving the winter cold here and else where in the Northern hemisphere and are continuing to plant crystals as and where you can.
No new planting records for this week, but several crystal orders are going out which feels good and we are busy making plans here for several crystal planting trips both locally and further afield.
If you would like to plant crystals to help our beautiful planet and her inhabitants and don't know where to start have a look at The Crystal Earthworks website (see links) and get in touch if you would like any further information.
A specially programmed rose quartz will be ignited at 8am GMT tomorrow 25th January and remain active until 8pm.
Its focus will be:
'To send peace and healing to the lands and people of Zimbabwe'
This is in support of a day of prayer for Zimbabwe on this date. Please connect in by sending prayers or focusing on the image of rose quartz above at any time between the hours given.
Thank you for your support.
Although crystals can be planted at any time of year some of the sets to do with the cleansing of the earth and regeneration of the natural world may bring about optimum healing when planted in winter when much of the plant life to an area is dormant and animal life is hibernating.
This is particularly applicable to areas of the globe where the seasons are marked.
Planting in the winter months literally prepares the way for maximum growth and renewal in the spring. Just as you might physically mulch the garden in winter, in light terms by planting specific crystals at this time you are feeding the earth with light to cleanse and strengthen all within. Such crystal planting will also help the survival of animals, birds and other life at what is often a time of great vulnerability and challenge.
A Pure Strength set consists of a Pure Grace Heart and four malachite as shown in the photograph below.
This configuration brings healing, alignment, and strength to the natural world, facilitating cleansing, strengthening, renewal, growth and regeneration.
It has a particular relevance to trees, so essential to life on our planet yet will also support the natural web of life at all levels.
These sets are ideally planted to forests, woodlands and wildlife parks and may be planted at any time of year, yet winter planting for the reasons described is particularly effective.
Once the crystals are in place they will work in perpetuity and will be naturally cleansed by the elements.
The set is best planted with the Pure Grace Heart to the centre of the allotted site for planting and with the malachite to the centre of each of the edges of the site in the configuration shown in the photograph or with the malachite to the corners of the site depending on ease of access and what intuitvely feels best for a a particular area.
Tonight's Crystal Earth Meditation is:
'For sustained peace and healing to the Middle East'.
The image above is of the special crystal configuration for this meditation. Please use this as a positive focus.
Thank you for your connection.
Woke up to this beautiful, yet stormy sky this morning - unfortunately not had chance to write about the Pure Strength sets as further meditations for peace in the Middle East have felt to be the priority.
The focus for tonight's 'Crystal Earth Meditation' to be held at 'The Peace Sanctuary' in Ripponden, West Yorkshire UK is:
'To bring strength, peace and protection to all animals in difficulty'.
Please use any positive image of an animal you are drawn to as a focus.
Hope you can join us - further details are available on the meditation page of The Crystal Earthworks website.
Records received to day for the planting of several aura crystals to key buildings in London,UK and in Palma, Majorca.
Also for planting of Pure Strength set to Belver Woods in Palma and Pure Grace Heart to Lluc in Majorca and for a further Coastal Rose Heart in Scottish waters to the mouth of the river Annan.
Thank you!
Details of the aura planting projects and Coastal hearts project are available on the Community Planting page of the projects website - see links.
Details of the Pure Grace hearts are given on the blog posting 8/03/08 and I hope to write more about the Pure Strength sets on Friday as this is a relatively new way of working which feels increasingly important for the planet in current times.
Our first Crystal Earth Meditation of 2009 is :
'For peace in the Middle East'.

Those of you who read this blog regularly will know that on the 14th of September this year 'The Grace Project ' was launched. This project operating under the umbrella of The Crystal Earthworks is focused on working specifically with children and young people to teach them a greater understanding and appreciation of the natural world and instill a sense of care and concern for others and our planet through the use of crystals.
The seeds for this part of the work have been partly sown through raising my own children - still very much ongoing as they are only six and eight! As I am sure it is for many parents, I have rare moments of feeling I am doing a really good job and many other moments when I feel I have much to learn. However this week I had one of those moments when I felt I must be doing something right and that it would good to share it with you all.
My daughter Ellen who is six, was asked yesterday at school to write her wishes for Christmas on a piece of paper entitled 'Christmas Joy' to go in a cracker and this is what she wrote:
'I wish people are happy.
I wish people dont pollute.
I wish everybody has a great lafe (life).
I wish everybody has a home.'
I felt really touched that in these times of materialism and with all the pressures on children to have the latest toy, gadget, or present especially at this time of year that these were her wishes.
Below is a photograph of some art work she did this summer of the Earth divided in half to show how she felt it looked in a polluted state and how it could look in purity!Thank you Ellen.
If you live in the North Yorkshire area and feel like joining us for a few moments of peace in amongst all the festivites of Christmas then come along to the Robinson Institute in Glaisdale tonight at 7.30pm.
This is the last of this series of meditations but I hope to begin a further set in early spring 2009. If you live further afeild then please feel free to connect in from where ever you are based through 8pm.
We will be using a combintion of citirne and malachite crystals to cleanse and reconnect the mind and body to heart flow.
Just sit in a quiet space, at the alloted time, relax and become aware of the beat of your heart.
Hope you can join us.

The focus for tonight's Crystal Earth Meditation is:
'To send peace and healing to the lands and people of Zimbabwe.'
This meditation will use a Pure Grace Heart and four chrysocolla in the configuration shown above. Please use this image as a positive focus. Thank you for your connection.
I have had a few enquiries in recent weeks about how best to crystal plant sites where violent and traumatic events have taken place. Whilst any location is unique in its history of events and therefore the crystals best planted to bring healing to it, 'Planting for Peace and Healing' is always a good starting point. This involves griding the site concerned with specially programmed fist sized chunks of rose quartz in sets of four which can be added to for locations which are not naturally square or rectangular in shape.
This type of crystal planting is simple to do and will bring about profound changes to the energy imprinted to the land within the crystal circuit planted, returning peace and purity to the very earth itself and bringing peace and healing to all visiting or incumbent to that place.
Crystal Earthworks can provide ready programmed sets of crystals for this purpose with an accompanying leaflet to guide the planting.
Full details of how to both programme and plant crystals for this purpose will also be in 'Crystal Clear' the book being written on behalf of the project and due for publication towards the end of 2010.
Alternatively if you are able to attend one of the projects introductory workshops you can then go on to study at home how to programme and plant crystals in this way.
Full details of all these options are available on the projects website.

Barack Obama has shown us all the huge potential for positive change this week and given hope and inspiration to many. His journey, self belief and vision in many ways for me symbolise what 'The Crystal Earthworks' project is all about. We face increasingly challenging times at a personal, national and global level and it is often difficult to feel empowered or to have the belief each of us as individuals can make a positive difference. Crystal planting provides just such an opportunity. This simple act can bring about healing to the land, its inhabitants and the planet as a whole, in a unique and powerful way. It represents an opportunity for each and everyone of us to make a positive difference to our lives and the lives of others, an opportunity to action positive change. Please visit 'The Crystal Earthworks' website via the link if you would like to know more about the project and its work and how you can become involved.

Lots of records in from the summer for Cornwall, Somerset, Wiltshire, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland, Tyneside, and Aberdeenshire for the UK and for France - Lourdes and the Pyrenees.
Thank you to all who have contributed to making the planet a 'lighter' place to inhabit in this way over the last couple of months.
Records received this week include two for Liverpool, with Topaz aura being planted to the main library there and the University Hospital.
I have also been out continuing to plant the telecommunications masts and pylons in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Yesterdays work felt amazing with a clearing of the heaviness felt around the mast I was planting as soon as the crystal was in place and a patch of blue sky appearing firstly overhead in an otherwise very grey vista! Unfortunately I forgot to take the camera so accompanying photograph is of a pyrite chispa which is the type of crystal used to negate the negative effects of pylons and telecommunications masts.
(Please visit link to Crystal Earthworks and go to the Community Planting Projects page for further details of this work).
