Creating Better Intention With Crystals
Finding focus is a welcomed clarity in order to bring awareness to
our lives. How many people do you know who lead an almost incomplete
and unexamined life? Art of any kind is the ability to tune in and
make it your own. The attaining of your goal through intention is one
of the most rewarding and self gratifying accomplishments we can do
for ourselves. And guess what? You deserve every single bit of it!
Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing
your inner self, or intention, to perceive truth. By practicing this
art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the
ability to condition our mind to listen on a much more subtle level.
This developing can give us the ability to sense energy and actually
perceive our intention on an even more subconscious plane.
Techniques are vast and varied, all of which, can be used in calming
and clearing the mind, therefore, achieving clearer perception.
Include some of the following:
1. Clear intention is a result of meditation: Meditation is a time-
honored technique that can take you into infinite dimensions of
consciousness. It is a simple effort that becomes effortless as we do
it more and more. One major principle to meditation is the ability to
completely quiet your mind. By quieting our mind, it can allow us a
clearer picture of what we really intend.
2. Become more mindful: Mindfulness is the act of being fully aware
of what happens in each moment. Try living in the NOW. Be present.
Honor each moment you are given. Acknowledge each task you take.
3. Energy follows thought. As you think of your intention, you are
made aware of it. As you are made aware of it, you are able to bring
it to fruition by asserting your energy. When you program thought to
be positive, your intention will be positive. The outcome is
inevitable. Especially when you see it as such.
4. Moving is the action to your motivation!: There is a mountain of
proof that movement is the best thing for mind, body and spirit.
Moving helps with depression, increases our cardiovascular system,
moves energy (Qi) and blood, stimulates the brain, increases hormone
production and takes us from one place to the next. Use movement as a
tool to move intention forward.
5. Intention reverberates. When we throw a stone in a calm lake, we
can see how the ripples start at the center point, where we dropped
the stone (our intention) and move outward from that point. When we
specify our intention, it moves out through the Universe as do the
ripples in the lake.
6. Intention is a reflection of many values. Our values are a direct
reflection of our beliefs. When we have strong, sensible values, your
beliefs reflect it. These same beliefs are an expression of our
experiences. Most often, people who have relatively good or tolerable
experiences have a better outlook on their beliefs.
7. Make Room for Change: Make it a nourishing, self respecting place
for change to take place in your mind. In the same way, create a life
affirming, positive path to reach your goal. Make no excuses.
Procrastination is the bi-product of feeling unworthy. Self worth
leads us in the right direction.
8. A lack of awareness + not being grounded + being unfamiliar =
FEAR: Become familiar with what your intention is. Once you are
familiar with the reasons why your intention is important and
familiar with the information you did not know or understand about
reaching your goal, this takes the fear out of it! Take initiative
and responsibility in seeing your true goal through to completion.
This all begins with the intent. Once you are familiar, there is less
fear and you become more grounded in your approach.
9. Make Every Effort: to do something each day that brings your
intentions closer to your goal. You will do this now, because you
understand why you want to reach this goal, what it means to you and
the fear behind it is gone. You will make the effort now because your
are aware of the fact that you love and respect yourself more and
deserve to make the effort.
10. The Honoring of Ourselves: This is something we tend to lose
sight of, especially as we grow older. "Excuse instead of action"
seems to be the norm, instead of the exception. Honoring everyone
else first (husband, wife, children, family, friends, colleagues) is
the path we so often go down first, before we take care of our own
needs. If you are not in tip top (mind, body, spirit) shape, how can
you effectively care for others?
Crystals Associated with Intention
The power behind Earth's minerals can be felt the minute you put a
crystal in your hands or near your physical body. Crystals are the
treasures of the earth. These stones are filled with energy to be
used. Any crystal can be programmed for a particular intention. Some
crystals have additional properties relative to intention. These
include: Apophylite (Mirror), Lepidolite, Quartz (Clear), Sapphire.
Mirror Apophylite
Properties: This has the reflective qualities of being able to
receive back what intentions are sent into the "mirror' of this
stone. It has been used for centuries in India in the "art of
gazing". One Mirror Apophylite is usually passed down from generation
to generation. It is often called upon to reflect doings from the
past to its user, in order to see both the good and the bad aspects
of a families' past. Allowing the gazer to be aware of and work on
improving the deficiencies from within. It provides a clear and
absolute connection between the physical bodies and the astral bodies
of its user. Mirror Apophylite is an extremely powerful crystal and
will also enrich the users' intuitive capacities by stimulating the
Third Eye Chakra.
Lepidolite
Properties: Lepidolite is a lithium-mica. It is high in lithium and
was originally mined for the mineral. Calms and relaxes. Gently eases
intensity of feelings, stress, mood swings, depression, manic-
depression, self-criticism, anxiety, addictions, worrying. Brings
hope, relief, gentleness, self-love, patience, self-forgiveness,
unworried sleep, mental/emotional balance, well-being. For master
gland and immune system, skin, DNA. Balances Brow Chakra with new
spiritual love. Fragile; salt water cleanse may cause it to break
apart.
Clear Quartz
Properties: Clear Quartz is thought to amplify both body energy and
thoughts. It can assist in the creation of power, clarity of
thinking, meditation, cleansing, clearing the aura, spiritual
development and healing. Clear Quartz is considered the "stone of
power". A dedicated healer. Pure white light passes through it
easily, leaving all the colors of the spectrum unaltered and giving
substance to the argument that Clear Quartz crystals can help balance
all the elements needed to make us whole and fulfilled. Amplify
whatever influences are present in an individual or location. Acts as
a purifier and tunes into the frequency of each individual. Will
unblock specific areas or organs blocked from transmitting or
receiving the flow of energy throughout the body. Helpful in guiding
our search for the meaning and importance of existence. Helps in
meditation. Can be used in conjunction with any other stone or gem
for specific physical problems. It will amplify the effects of
individual stones and attune the treatment to the energy of an
individual person.
Sapphire
Properties: Sapphire is helpful for communication, insight,
intuition, clairaudience, inspiration, spiritual prayer/devotion,
peacefulness. Especially for the Throat Chakra. Also: wisdom, will,
centering, cheerfulness, luck. Reduces radiation effects, anxiety,
procrastination. Some effects subtle. May strengthen by posing
challenges to overcome.
