General Healing Set Planting

I had the gift last week of planting this beautiful combination of rose quartz and pyrite to the centre of a local estate which is currently being redeveloped here in Perthshire.

Fist sized rose quartz and pyrite chispa

In recent years there has been a pattern of Scottish lands and estates being bought up for development to enhance biodiversity and carbon capture through funded tree planting and peatland restoration, as well as to benefit the local communities in which they are located. Some of these have the well being of the Earth and all of her inhabitants at their hearts, others, whilst suggesting this is the case, can be fronts for less desirable outcomes. These crystals were planted to the centre of one such site to enhance the potential for its future development to be for the greater good of all. In this powerful combination the fist sized pyrite is programmed to cleanse and transmute any negativity held to the site of planting, realigning it to its highest soul path, whilst the fist sized rose quartz veils peace and healing to the place of planting and all connecting to it.

Meditations For Global Peace and Healing

Tonight, Thursday 12/09/24, and next week, Thursday 19/09/24, both through 8pm BST, we continue our regular meditations for Global Peace and Healing. 

The focus for both nights is:

‘To send peace, healing and heart connection, to the Earth and her inhabitants.’

using the beautiful heart shaped chunk of rose quartz shown below.

Please feel welcome to join us from wherever you are based across the globe.

To connect in, simply sit in peace in a quiet place through either or both of the allotted times.

Pure Strength Set

I planted this beautiful Pure Strength Set, exactly a week ago today, to the centre of Tenstmuir Forest, Fife. These beautiful crystal sets first birthed in 2008 are programmed to strengthen and nurture the natural environments and habitats to which they are placed. Comprised of a Pure Grace Heart and  four malachite they enhance growth, regeneration, vitality and flow to the area to which they are placed as well as adding to a growing global network of similar plantings. Further details of these sets and their uses can be found in the pages section of this blog.

Pure Strength Set to forest floor before planting

As I shared last week this particular set was placed just before midday last Wednesday, so I connected into our regular Pure Grace Heart Mediation from the site of planting within the forest. This was a very moving experience as although I had felt a release of energy and holding to the Earth on placing the crystals, there was a great enhancement of their energetic healing during the meditation. 

Site of planting

Our next Pure Grace Heart Meditation is later this morning, 11/09/24 through 12pm BST, and as I was reminded last week these meditations work not only in radiating out purity, flow and strength of connection to the Divine Feminine at both an individual and planetary level but also serve to enhance the energy of each of the Pure Grace Hearts planted both individually and in sets across the globe. Please feel welcome to connect into these meditations, full details: crystalearthworks.net in the Work section under Meditations.

Meditations For Global Peace and Healing

Thank you to everyone who connected into the beautiful Pure Grace Heart meditation yesterday through noon. This week I had the gift of connecting in from the beauty of Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, Scotland where I was doing some crystal planting which I'll be sharing more of in the next post. It really was a magical experience and a reminder that these meditations work on many levels. Firstly to enhance purity, flow and connection to the Divine Feminine, so key as we move towards greater balance of male and female energies both in our individual and collective lives and societal structures. Secondly to empower each Pure Grace Heart planted or placed across the globe thus facilitating the changes and transitions taking place as we move into the astrological Age of Aquarius. More about these beautiful hearts can be found in the pages section of this blog under 'Pure Grace Hearts’ and on www.crystalearthworks.net.

Pure Grace Heart

Tonight, 5/09/24, through 8pm BST we return to our weekly Thursday meditation for Global Peace, Healing and Heart Connection using the heart shaped chunk of rose quartz. Full details of these meditations are in last weeks post. All welcome.

Thank You!

Twenty two years ago today on the 22nd of August 2002, our inaugural crystal planting course came to a close, with those that had gathered visioning their individual and collective journeys forward to bring healing to the Earth and her inhabitants through this powerful way of working. This gathering was also the precursor to the birth of Crystal Earthworks several months later and all the healing and beauty that the project has brought to so many.

Each of the the original twelve attendees who were present at that time went on to action crystal planting in their own way. Some have been major contributors to the project at different times over the years, some moved on to other areas of healing and Light work, and some I have lost touch with and yet they remain forever in my heart.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your soul connection and your Earth healing work and for helping make the world a brighter, lighter place for all.

Lepidolite Placement

The second outside planting of crystals to our new home, and Crystal Earthworks new base was this beautiful lepidolite chunk. This crystal has been working with us over many moons first placed to our garden on the North Yorkshire Moors some 18 years ago, then to our home in Orkney, and now to the garden here in Strathearn.

Lepidolite is comprised of many thin layers and facilitates shedding and release of energetic dross and patterns of holding. It is perfect for planting to new places of living to release the energies of the past held to the buildings, land and its former and present inhabitants. A large fist sized chunk, programmed in this way, if placed centrally outside to a patio or seating area will work to gently release the held energy and requires no further attention as it will be cleansed by the elements.

Lepidolite can also be used in a similar way to help those who are elderly or terminally ill to release layers of holding and return back to Light. I used a fist sized chunk with my parents during their latter years to great effect. Placed to their cellar and cleansed once a month in water overnight, it helped energy cleanse and harmonise their home as well as working with them to release their own patterns of holding and attachment.

Lions Gate Meditation

Our regular Thursday Global Peace Meditation, tonight 8/08/23, through 8pm BST, coincides with the beautiful and transformational energy of Lions Gate, a key date in the astrological calendar for personal and planetary growth and positive manifestation.

To mark this auspicious day, tonights event will focus on drawing in the energies of peace, positive transformation and spiritual connection to all open to receive. The crystal configuration for this meditation is shown below, combining a Pure Grace Heart with four Preseli Bluestone, four Rose Hearts of Light and eight angel aura. This powerful combination of crystals supports the falling away of all that no longer serves humanity and all that can bring, whilst enabling new doorways to peace, healing and greater understanding to open.

Please feel welcome to join us from where ever you are based across the globe, with each and every connection empowering the healing effect of the meditation at both a personal and planetary level.

To connect in simply sit in peace, in a quiet place, through the allotted time, let go of all your own worries and concerns, and then use the words and image of the crystals as a positive focus in meditation, positive thought or prayer.

May blessings of peace and positive transformation be with all this Lions Gate.

Crystals and a New Home

As I mentioned in last weeks post about cleansing crystals, I have been gradually introducing crystals to our new home. The first ones placed were the beautiful amethyst, snow quartz, and angel aura shown below. These were planted in sets of three to each of the four corners of our garden forming an energetic matrix of protection (amethyst), nurturance (snow quartz) and angelic support (angel aura). 

Griding your home and garden with amethyst programmed for transmutation and protection against negative environmental energies is recommended wherever you live in current times. The other crystals are specific to our new house and area and the focus of the work to be taken forward in this latest stage of our lives and work.

Cleansing Crystals

I am gradually introducing crystals to our new home and will be sharing more of this in the weeks to come. Although all our house crystals from Orkney were cleansed and carefully packaged for the move south, it felt good to re-cleanse them before use here in Perthshire.

I’ve been using glasses of water on the kitchen window sill for smaller items but placed these larger ones in bowls of water outside overnight and they are now air drying in the sun. Cleansing of crystals is a vital part of their use and there is a page dedicated to how to action this in the side bar of this blog if you are interested in learning more.

Aura Planting and Meditations

Thank you to everyone who connected into the weekly Pure Grace Heart Meditation yesterday. I had the gift of joining this later in the day after grasping a break in the weather to plant the beautiful angel aura shown below to the top of Ben Chonzie, our nearest Munro (Scottish mountains over 3000 feet) here in Strathearn. Programmed to ground angelic healing into the Earth and all connecting to their sites of planting, these angel aura are part of Crystal Earthworks ever growing body of global aura planting work to connect and enhance higher energies into the planetary body of the Earth. 

Tonight, 18/07/24, through 8pm, we continue with our Thursday meditations for peace healing and heart connection. Please feel welcome to join us - full details of how to connect in can be found in the Peace Meditation post from 27th June 2024.

Gifted Citrine Points

Slowly getting back into things after being unexpectedly laid low and unable to post for a while. During that time the project was gifted these beautiful citrine points by a dear friend, colleague and fellow crystal planter. Although not of the highest quality they are perfect for pairing with amethyst to crystal grid sewage works, sceptic tanks or waste outflows. I’ll be sharing more of how to go about this in the coming weeks as well as actioning some planting work with them. 

Crystal planting work doesn’t need to be expensive as often lower grade crystals such as these points are perfectly adequate. These particular crystals were actually blessed to my friend by a well known crystal supplier enthusiastic about her extensive planting work to enhance her local community and the planet. What a gift - thank you!

Rose Heart of Light Planting

The third crystal planted on our recent move south from Orkney was this beautiful Rose Heart of Light. Specially programmed on the Full Moon in a high energy environment, these beautiful rose quartz hearts have been planted by many individuals across the globe for over twenty years, forming an ever growing network of peace, healing and heart connection. This one was placed to the site of the Clach a’ Mharslin (Pedlars Stone) on the outskirts of Kinloch Rannoch in connection to healing the energetic wounds of the passing of a pedlar there, as inscribed on the plaque on the stone.

Snow Quartz Planting

The second crystal planted, recently, as we journeyed south from Orkney to our new base in Strathearn, was the beautiful snow quartz shown below. Placed to the centre of a small copse of larch trees high on a hilltop above Kinloch Rannock in the Scottish Highlands, this felt to be the starting point of a new body of planting work. Snow quartz is a stone of great nurturance, flowing peace and Light to all in its wake. When appropriately programmed and strategically placed to high energy environments it can also feed these much needed energetic qualities into the subtle energy of the planet benefitting all.

More of this exciting body of work and how you can take part to come shortly.

Angel Aura Planting

I managed a couple of crystal plantings on our recent journey south from Orkney. The first of these was this beautiful angel aura placed to the edge of the stunning former churchyard of an ancient chapel attributed to St Ninian, near Helmsdale on the North East coast of Scotland. Specially programmed to enhance angelic connection to its place of planting, this crystal felt the perfect choice to further enhance the energy of this sacred site. It also added to Crystal Earthworks growing network of global aura plantings. Further details of this body of work and how to take part can be found on the 'Aura Plantings' page of this blog.

Final Peace Meditation, Orkney

Our final planetary healing meditation, here in Orkney, is tonight, Tuesday, 7th May 2024, through 8pm BST. The focus for this will be the beautiful rose quartz cairn here at Old Nisthouse which is currently programmed:

'To send peace, healing and the flow of heart connection to all.’

Please feel welcome to connect in from wherever you are based across the globe. Simply sit in peace, in a quiet place, through the allotted time, let go of all your own worries and concerns, and then use the words and image of the cairn as a positive focus in meditation, positive thought, or prayer, for the planet as a whole or a region of your choice.

Each and every connection empowers the regional and planetary healing effect of the meditation, as well as bringing a deeper sense of personal peace and wellbeing. 

Following this meditation the energy of the cairn will be closed, and the cairn itself dismantled, with the crystals being planted to bless the planet with a permanent crystal anchor of peace, healing, angelic and heart connection.

Crystal Earthworks will then be taking a two week break whilst we move location. The next event and posting will be on the 22nd of May.

Eternal gratitude to everyone who has connected in, and/or contributed to, the crystal planting work and meditations over our fourteen and a half years here in the far North of Scotland. Looking forward to new beginnings, a little further south, and continuing the work to support our beautiful Earth Mother in becoming a lighter, brighter place for all.

Final Plantings

With four days to go until our move south from Orkney, I’ve been doing some final crystal plantings, including several mariposite crystals to various local lochs and lochans. These amazing crystals, programmed to strengthen all forms of life within the bodies of water to which they are placed, are part of our work to nurture and strengthen the Earth and her myriad of inhabitants. 

The mariposite shown below was planted to Loch of Harray earlier this morning on a misty start to the day. Three swans came into view just after the crystal had been placed into the water.

There will be no formal Peace Meditation tonight, Thursday, 2/05/24. However the rose quartz global healing cairn here at Old Nisthouse in Orkney remains open and can be tuned into at anytime to bring  greater peace, healing and heart connection at both a personal and planetary level.  Crystal Earthworks final peace meditation, from its current base will be on Tuesday, 7/05/24, through 8pm BST.

Happy Beltane!

Happy Beltane! This Celtic festival of fecundity, falling midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice, marks the time when Earth energies are at their strongest and most active, here in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to an abundance of growth and fertility. As we are all one, and deeply connected to the Earth, these energies also reflect in our own lives, and we often feel more energised, motivated and drawn to new beginnings at this time of year.

For 2024, Crystal Earthworks is marking the occasion with the opening of the beautiful set of crystals shown below for four hours today, from 11am until 3pm BST. The configuration, comprised of four emeralds, four apple aura, four sunshine aura, eight angel aura and a beautiful Pure Grace Heart to the centre, will be programmed to promote positive growth, fecundity and new beginnings for the greater good of all.

Please feel welcome to connect into the crystals in the usual way at any time over the four hours of opening at this threshold time of new possibilities, harmony, balance and positive opportunity for all.
