Amethyst Healing Crystals
I wanted to talk about one of my favourite healing stone, Amethyst. Since it is February, my birth month and an Aquarius, Jan 20th-Feb 18th, my birth stone is the Amethyst. So it has always been very near and dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy learning about this precious stone and it's healing properties as much as I do.
Amethyst is a remarkable stone of spirituality and contentment, known for its metaphysical abilities to still the mind and inspire an enhanced meditative state. Its inherent high frequency purifies the aura of any negative energy or attachments, and creates a protective shield of Light around the body, allowing one to remain clear and centered while opening to spiritual direction. Amethyst stimulates the Third Eye, Crown and Etheric Chakras enhancing cognitive perception as well as accelerating the development of intuitive and psychic ability. It initiates wisdom and greater understanding, and is a stone of comfort for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
Amethyst’s ability to expand the higher mind also enhances one’s creativity and passion. It strengthens the imagination and intuition, and refines the thinking processes. It helps in the assimilation of new ideas, putting thought into action, and brings projects to fruition. It is a talisman of focus and success. (1)
Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.
Using amethyst to decorate the home is a choice many make for its appearance, alone. However, the stone can have many metaphysical benefits as well if placed in the right room. An amethyst in the family room can assist in familial bonding time, and provide the confidence and calm necessary for open communication. Amethyst in the office will bring intuition for making tough, gut decisions in business, and stress-relief for long work days. Placing an amethyst somewhere in the bathroom is another way to relieve anxiety during a soothing bath.
Amethyst is the birthstone for February, and known as the Zodiac stone for Aquarius. It is also linked to the element of Wind. This element is believed to activate the mind, and assist in clairvoyance and intuition. It is the ideal stone for meditation that seeks to discover the reason for certain behaviors or actions, both on the part of oneself, or another. Whether you are looking to meditate for relaxation, abundance, protection or communication, a good mantra is: “I trust myself, I see what I need and it will come to me." (2)
Amethyst is particularly stimulating to the Third Eye and Crown Chakras.
The Third Eye Chakra, also called the Brow Chakra, is the center of your perception and command. It directs your sight and everyday awareness of the world. You relate to yourself through the third eye chakra. When the third eye chakra is in balance your thoughts and internal communications are healthy and vibrant. An open and balanced third eye chakra opens you to new ideas, dreams, and visions, and can control the flow of energy within all the chakras.
The Crown Chakra is your gateway to the expanded universe beyond the physical body. It controls how you think, and how you respond to the world around you. It connects you to the higher planes of existence and is the source of universal energy and truth. When the crown chakra is in balance then all your energies are in balance.
Amethyst brings calmness and clarity, and is a wonderful stone when working in times of confusion or chaos. It provides common sense and flexibility in times of crisis.
Emotionally, it calms and synthesises, and aids the transmission of neural signals through the brain.
This stone is helpful where insomnia is caused by an over-active mind and protects against recurrent nightmares.
Amethyst promotes responsibility, self worth, spiritual peace and meditation. Amethyst enhances memory and improves motivation, making you more able to set realistic goals.
It can help you to remember and understand dreams and facilitates the visualisation process. Amethyst balances out highs and lows, promoting emotional centring.
It dispels anger, rage, fear, and anxiety, alleviating sadness and grief, it supports coming to terms with loss. (3)
