Lives lost At Sea

 Two sets of crystal planting have been done in recent weeks in connection with lives lost at sea, at opposite ends of the UK. Both these plantings involved very different sets of crystals.

The first involved the placement of a Pure Grief Set to the village of Mousehole, in Cornwall, a few weeks ago. This was in connection to the Penlee lifeboat disaster in 1981 when the lifeboat Soloman Browne, based near Mousehole, went to the the aid of a coaster the Union Star after its engines failed in heavy seas. After the lifeboat had rescued four of the crew from the stricken ship, both vessels were lost with along with sixteen lives including all eight of the volunteer lifeboat crew. This loss of life was devastating to the local community and inevitably left a cloud of grief and anguish hanging over the area. The crystals planted, a Pure Grace Heart for flow and connection to the divine feminine, an apache tear for absorbing grief and sadness, a malachite for heart connection and a herkimer diamond for drawing in positive energy, were placed to lift held patterns of sadness and sorrow both from the land and local community and restore a sense of hope and renewed strength and positivity to all.

The second planting, was off Marwick Head on the West Mainland of Orkney, on Rememberance Sunday. This planting was in connection with the sinking of the warship HMS Hampshire on 5th June 1916, which when travelling North struck a mine laid by a German U-boat two miles off the Orkney coast.  Six hundred and fifty five men lost their lives, with only 12 surviving. Also in connection with HM Drifter Laurel Crown which sank on 22 June 1916, during minesweeping operations, also near Marwick Head, when she struck another of the mines laid.  All nine crew were lost. In this case the crystals planted were rose quartz for peace and healing and selenite for flow, combined to bring about release of trapped aspects of souls back to Light. This type of planting is very humbling work. The crystals were thrown into the sea at 10.50 am and ignited through 11am. As the crystals were activated the sea seemed to roar louder and a barrier of foam on the surface dispersed. A trail of white feathers had led me to the exact spot on the cliffs from which the crystals were planted.

Actioning Peace

With our focus on peace this week, it felt timely to re-share a few of the ways we can simply begin to use rose quartz to action greater peace for ourselves and others.

As with all healing and positive transformation, action begins with ourselves, for if we cannot find greater peace in our own lives, how can we begin to share that with others? It can be easy to lose heart and become caught up in stress and worry in the current challenges we all face. However carrying or wearing a small tumbled piece of programmed rose quartz can support us through difficult times, and help return a sense of wellbeing and positivity. To programme, simply hold the crystal in your right palm and ask that it veils you with  peace, healing and heart connection, then place to a jewellery cage or if it is to be carried in a silk or natural fibre pouch to protect its energy and so it can be easily pinned to clothing or placed in a clutter free pocket. Cleanse it regularly.

To enhance peace in ourselves and others, a fist sized chunk of rose quartz can be placed centrally to the home or work place. To programme, hold it on your right palm or if it is large in your left palm with your right hand over and ask that it veil all within its wake with peace, harmony and wellbeing. Place it in a clutter free space - on a chest, table or similar. Cleanse weekly.

Moving outside rose quartz can be placed on top of a simple stone cairn, programmed  to veil  your home / garden / neighbourhood / community with peace, healing and positive energy flow. (See 9/07/20 post for further details).

Alternatively a chunk of rose quartz can be programmed to veil peace, healing and positive energy flow to its place of planting and all within its wake. You can then plant it centrally to a garden space, to the rear of a favourite sitting place or bench, or out in the wider environment, for example to a grave you regularly visit or a favourite beauty spot. When planting in this way always place the crystal where it won't be disturbed either by digging a hole for it and covering it with earth, placing under a pile of stones or placing to flowing water for example in a stream, water feature or similar.

 Please note :

All crystals require cleansing both before programming and regularly when in use - daily overnight in water if worn or carried,  or weekly for room crystals. Where crystals are placed or planted  outside they will be cleansed by the elements and no further action is required.
Cleansing is essential to avoid the crystals becoming saturated with negative energy which can then drip back into the energy field of the user, or area of placement. To cleanse rose quartz simply place it in a glass container of water overnight, pat dry with a clean natural fibre cloth and then reprogram as given. Crystals new to you are best cleansed for a minimum of twelve hours in this way before use, as they will have connected with many different energies on their journey to you!

To programme your crystals to greatest effect, it is important to cleanse and align yourself and the space you are in first. This is simply done by stopping and being still, and then asking the Light (Universal /Cosmic energy) that all negativity be cleansed from your being and the room/space you are in and that the negativity is released to the Earth for transmutation, and then that you and the room/space are filled with positivity. Then you are ready to begin.
Simply hold the chosen crystal in your right palm (or place your right palm on the crystal if it is very large) and ask that it begins to work for you as given, for example, rose quartz for personal use:

"I ask the Light that this rose quartz veil me with peace, healing and heart connection. Thank you."

The call to Light refers to divine energy (universal/cosmic energy).

Climate Change Focus: Rose quartz

 This is the fourth and final of Crystal Earthworks Climate Change posts, inspired by taking apart in last month's Climate Marathon: climaterun.org. This week we look at the role of rose quartz in connection with all things planetary.

The greatest gift we can give to our beautiful Earth Mother and her inhabitants at this time is peace. If the world was to pause for a moment and then each and everyone of us stepped forth in our lives in a new paradigm of global peace, our planet would quickly become a very different place in which to live.

In peace, we are heart connected, in peace we care about not only about our selves but all those around us, in peace we feel a longing for Earth healing and positive change for the greater good of all. In peace we begin to make decisions or receive insights into how best we can, at a personal, community and planetary level, begin to make better choices to heal our planet, ourselves, our lives, and create sustainable ways of living for all.

So how can we connect to peace and surrender to it at a deeper level? As with all things the starting point is to change our own behaviour. Taking time to sit and be still, taking time to be really present in the moment, taking time to be outside in nature and allow the beauty of the natural world to begin to weave its magical spell of peace and wellbeing over us. These simple actions can help each of us to begin to lead more peaceful and fulfilling lives. Once we are doing this, we can then look to rose quartz to help us deepen those experiences.

Rose quartz is a true gift to our planet at this time. This beautiful pink crystal comes in many forms and has a myriad of uses in connection with peace and gentle healing. It can be worn, carried and used in meditation to enhance our connection to peace at a personal level. It can be placed to our homes, schools and work places to veil peace to all within its vicinity or used atop a simple outdoor cairn for meditation to veil peace to ourselves and our wider community.

Rose quartz can also be planted to the Earth to lift negative imprints of the past, either by planting fist sized chunks to the corner of a site such as a former battlefield, or used in combination with amethyst to heal an area of environmental disaster, or planted with pyrite to cleanse and realign a site to its true purpose of being. 

Like the other crystals in this series of posts, rose quartz is readily available, inexpensive and simple to learn to use to positive effect. It is thus our fourth crystal tool in negating climate change, yet should perhaps in many ways be the starting point of that journey.

Climate Change Focus: Smokey Quartz

This is the third of the Crystal Earthworks Climate Change posts inspired by taking part in this months Climate Marathon, which came  to a conclusion last Saturday: climaterun.org. This week we look at smokey quartz and its role in absorbing negative energy emissions from vehicles.

Scientific  evidence is such, that there can be few of us who do not now acknowledge that each time we get in a car and drive somewhere we are adding to the pollution of  the Earth's atmosphere through the negative vehicle emissions produced. In terms of personal and planetary cause and effect we are literally creating negative karma for ourselves each time we travel in this way. However we can act with greater responsibility. 

Firstly we can take positive action to drive the vehicle with the lowest environmental impact we can afford and that is suited to our needs. Secondly we can look carefully at the trips we make, reducing them where we can through car sharing and using public transport (always respecting the current Coronavirus rules in your area at any given time), or cycling and walking, where possible, for shorter trips. Combining several requirements for travel into one trip is also a good way of reducing the number of journeys made, thus our overall environmental impact. Thirdly we can use crystals to actively absorb and redirect the negative emissions from our vehicle of choice into the Earth, where they can be transmuted.

Smokey quartz  is a beautiful form of translucent quartz which comes in many forms and when appropriately programmed has great capacity for absorption, redirection and transmutation of the negative energy emissions from vehicles and our karma in creating them. It is usually used in the form of a dragon egg for this purpose combined with rose quartz in similar form as shown below.

Like pyrite and amethyst, smokey quartz is easy to obtain, inexpensive and simple to use in this way and is thus our third crystal tool in helping to limit climate change.

Crystal Planting Orkney

 One thing that remaining largely at home over the last 8 months has connected me to, is the immense potential for helping heal our beautiful planet and her inhabitants, that lies right on our own doorsteps.

Here are some of the amazing crystals planted across Orkney over the last two weeks. Its been a busy time with two new planting projects started, and another on the way. Its hard to keep up but I'm hoping to share further details in the weeks to come.

The foundation of Crystal Earthworks has always been in action, whether that action be to change our behaviour in order to tread more lightly on the Earth, take part in a healing meditation, or to place crystals to bring about healing for an ever growing array of purposes. Our amazing planet, and all who inhabit her, need our help more than ever in the many challenges we collectively face at this time. Yet within all that is unfolding, it is easy to feel restricted and disempowered.

Action for the greater good of all returns that feeling of empowerment, however small or large the healing gesture is, for we are all interconnected. Crystal planting is a part of that healing journey, easy to action, and with the potential to bring about positive change and healing for all.
