Birthday Review

I felt prompted to review the past eight years, on this, the projects eighth birthday and it feels lovely to share with you all, how much has been achieved.

My own crystal planting work began in earnest in 1999 and continued into the summer of 2002. At that point, the coming together of 12 light workers for a course purely focused on crystal planting revealed that the seeds that I and others had already sown were to be a part of something much bigger than we had previously been aware of and with potential to bring great healing to our energy challenged planet. and her inhabitants.

From that initial coming together and the birthing of the Crystal Earthworks with its website through 11am on the 11th November 2002, much has been achieved. The first three years focused on introductory talks, courses, the provision of programmed crystals for planting for specific healing purposes, developing the website and the beginning of monthly crystal meditations for community and planetary healing. The website and leaflets written to accompany and guide the planting of the programmed crystals led to the offer of a publishing contract for the project for a book about crystal planting. Our first community crystal planting projects also began during this period.

A move to the North Yorkshire Moors followed, which provided many and varied healing opportunities and an inspiring location in which to write and work on the book. It was also during this time that two whole new bodies of planting work evolved with the birthing of the Aura Crystals for planting and the Pure Grace Hearts. The first seeds of work with children were sown, opportunities for introductory talks led to newspaper and magazine articles and this blog was started to inform and inspire a wider audience of the work being undertaken by the project and its healing potential. Crystal Earth Meditations expanded to take place every two weeks.

Five years later the project is now based in Orkney, the book is in its final stages, meditations are held weekly and the refining and development of the project as a whole continues.

Most importantly over the last eight years hundreds of records of crystal plantings have been sent in by a growing number of enthusiastic crystal planters. It is both humbling and inspiring to be able to say that the world is a far brighter place for all these plantings and the cleansing, healing and re-balancing these crystals continue to bring to the earth and her inhabitants.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank from my heart all those who have planted one, several or many crystals over the last eight years. Without you action, encouragement and support the project would not exist and the increasingly challenging times we and our beautiful planet all face would be of even greater severity and unrest.

The true healing potential of crystal planting work is only just beginning to be recognised and The Crystal Earthworks has much work to achieve yet we can all feel empowered to make a difference:

Vision

- When a person has a vision they are often described as a fool.
- If two of more share the same vision, they are said to be misguided.
- When 10 or more come together to empower the vision it is called a cult.
- When 100 enact a vision it is called a movement.
- When 1000 join the movement it is called a REVOLUTION.

As the Crystal Earthworks grows I pray that one day it will be a revolution bringing peace, healing and the strength of heart to all.
