Final Crystal Planting Opportunities 2010

As the snow melts, here in Orkney, crystal planting opportunities before the end of the year are once more opening up as we can finally travel further than walking distance from the house! If you are on the East coast of America snow and ice may be making this a little more challenging. One or two keen crystal planters have taken off to warmer climes to mark the end of the year - Majorca, Uganda and Goa.

Christmas Meditations

There will be special meditations through 3pm today Christmas Eve, 12pm Christmas Day and 3pm Boxing day, all focusing on Peace and using a Rose Heart of Light as a focus.

These specially programmed rose quartz crystal hearts bring peace to all in their wake and the meditations will focus on Peace at an Individual, Community, National, International and Global level.

Hope you can join us!

May peace be in the hearts of all this Christmas.

Winter Solstice

This years winter solstice felt very special in Orkney, as we were blessed with clear skies most of the early morning and at dusk, enabling amazing views of the total eclipse of the moon and of the last rays of the setting sun reaching the back wall of the chambered cairn at Maeshowe. Despite heavy lying snow and freezing temperatures an aqua aura was successfully planted in the vicinity of Maeshowe shortly after sunset as part of the global community planting project of these crystals - a truly inspiring day.

Aqua Aura and Rose Quartz

Someone was asking me about the best crystals to use or plant at this time of year. The two that stand out are rose quartz for peace and aqua aura for spiritual connection. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not and are experiencing winter or summer, peace and spiritual connection are always key in our lives.

The return of the snow!

With winter returning in spectacular style to Scotland this week crystal planting plans have gone up in the air as its difficult to even reach the main road here at the moment other than on foot. However it feels good to be able to help the birds, small mammals and other wildlife as the cold weather sets in with the snow quartz cairn in the garden and using snow quartz in the several drinking stations we have for the birds here.

Bimonthly Meditation for Bees

Tonight's Crystal Earth Meditation, 24th November 2010, is a continuation of our work to help bees across the planet.

As many of you will know bees have been suffering a dramatic reduction in numbers across the planet in recent years with potentially dramatic consequences for all of us if this decline is not reversed. There are many people across the Globe doing fantastic work to help reverse this trend, as well as increase public awareness of the current plight of bees and its planetary significance.

This meditation will be repeated every other month throughout 2010 and 2011. The focus is:

' To send strength to bees across the Globe'

The crystal focus for this meditation will be a Pure Strength Set combined with amber. Please use the image below as a positive focus and thank you for joining us.

Thank You

A big thank you to those who sent in records for crystal plantings for Universal Children's day. My youngest daughter asked to join in and chose to plant celestite next to the standing stone in our garden - thank you Ellen!

Universal Children's Day

The United Nations' (UN) Universal Children's Day, was established in 1954 and is celebrated on November 20th each year to promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide as well as to act as a platform to promote their well being.

In celebration of this event, this year, we are encouraging as many people as possible to plant a crystal to help children across the globe, tomorrow 20th November 2010.

Simply take a rose quartz or celestite crystal of any size or shape - it can be rough cut or tumbled.
Rinse it in running water to cleanse and pat dry with a clean white cotton cloth or similar.
Hold it in your right palm and ask that it be charged to bring peace (rose quartz) or angelic help (celestite) to the children of the Earth.
Then simply plant it to where you feel drawn by digging a hole and burying it, placing it under a stone or in a crack in a wall or in paving where it wont be disturbed.
It may be planted to a place of beauty, a place of need or a place directly connected to children - school, playground, home, refuge - trust your intuition.
Once placed, simply stand and ask that the crystal be ignited

Thank you for taking part in this simple, yet powerful act and for helping children across the globe.

This work is part of 'The Grace Project' which is the branch of the Crystal Earthworks responsible for developing crystal planting work in direct connection with children.

Meditation for Haiti

The focus for tonight's meditation 17th November 2011 is:

'To send peace and healing to the lands and people of Haiti.'

This meditation is in light of the continued cholera epidemic to this region and the current disruption to aid relief. Hope you can join us in helping those in great need.

Thank You

Thank you to all who have sent birthday good wishes, cards and even presents today - the message in one card felt really important to share:

'Let us celebrate and renew our commitment to
build a world free of all forms of violence.
Peace.'

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.

Apologies

Many apologies to all those of you who access the blog or website to check on the focus for the Crystal Earth Meditations. Unfortunately the Internet was down here yesterday so I couldn't update things. We did hold a meditation to send 'Peace and healing to the Earth and her inhabitants' using rose quartz.

If you would like to receive a weekly text re the meditation focuses please simply email your mobile number and I will add you to the list.

Many thanks

Coastal Heart To Waters off Fair Isle

The photograph below shows Gary Prescott planting one of the Pure Grace Coastal Hearts into the waters off Fair Isle about ten days ago - you can just see the crystal gleaming white in the upper left hand corner. Gary stayed with us in Orkney for a few days recently as part of an amazing year long cycle trip round the UK visiting as many RSPB reserves as possible to raise money for the RSPB, Asthma UK and WWT as well visiting schools and inspiring Eco friendly practice along the way.
