A Crystal Christmas
We are in the middle of the festive season and I hope all of you have had a joyous time. For those of you who are struggling, I hope that your crystals are helping give you that strength and stamina to get through the difficult bits.
Putting aside the loneliness, overindulging, family togetherness or not so togetherness, the anxiety and worries, the loss of a family member etc. If you’re in the right frame of mind Christmas is a wonderful time both to get new crystals and to reconnect with some old ones.
It’s been a long time since family gifted me crystals, they usually gift me something else or ask me to choose a crystal from them. It’s actually the only hobby or pastime I’ve had in my entire life when I haven’t got swamped with gifts to do with it. When I crocheted and knit I got books, wool etc, when I was getting into Yoga it was books and DVDs, when I had a fad cooking and baking…loads of books. Crystals I choose my own but they are still gifts, I think the risk of getting something I’ve already got puts my friends and family of choosing. It’s the crystals that are chosen especially for us, with love and care that have an added specialness. The sentiment, love and care that goes into hand chosen crystals and other gifts is a powerful and positive energy that we should spread.
My crystal collection has grown a little more over Christmas and I’ve had time to rearrange and reconnect with old friends. It’s been a time to try to relax and take time for me.
Christmas is that time that some of us have more time on our hands, but whether I’ve worked straight through Christmas time or been at home, it’s always felt a time of renewal and new beginnings. I think this is in no small part to the Winter Solstice and the turning of the season. The coldest and darkest part of the year emerging back towards the light.
At this time of renewal it’s beneficial to engage again with crystals. Perhaps have a periodic cleanse and recharge. Go through each one and remember why or how you were feeling when you bought that crystal. Perhaps you haven’t got time to spend on a ritual, perhaps you’re meeting yourself coming back, incorporate them in what you do to relax, put them near you, hold them whilst you watch TV or light candles and burn incense near to where you keep them.
As we move towards the New Year and resolutions utilise them when as you set goals and things you want to achieve. Let the crystals help manifest what you hope to achieve. As you set the intention for the New Year program your crystals to help you.
Perhaps have a little ceremony with candles and incense to celebrate your New Year.
Whatever way you wish to incorporate your healing crystals into your festive period, as we go forward into the New Year it’s important to also remember they are there to teach us to be kind to ourselves, to make time for ourselves, to take care of ourselves. Unless we do that we cannot reach our highest power. We can’t help others as well as we’d like. We can’t manifest all that could be.
As we go forward into the New Year, I want to wish you all a loving, happy, joyful and wonderful New Year. Let it be one of reaching goals, personal growth, abundance and self empowerment and mostly let it be full of crystal magic
