Today was a tough day dealing with bureaucracy and red tape, none of which are my favorite things to do! The other people in my office were also feeling anxious nad angry with the bureaucratic delays that were happening. Of course, these delays were right when we most needed to have things go smoothly. So, I started envisioning what could be done with crystals and stones to help create feelings of centerdness, calmness and clarity instead of anxiety, anger and other such emotions. Here’s what I did: First, I mentally surrounded myself with a circle of amethyst heart shaped stones. Then, after connecting the circle and centering myself inside of it, I began to breathe with increasingly long, slow breaths. As my breathing slowed, I noticed my body. I felt my stomach relaxing so I consciously relaxed the small of my back. I checked further through my body and noticed that my jaw was clenched, my throat chakra was closing, and my chest felt like it was contracting. As I continued to scan my body, thoughts and feelings, I noticed that my prevailing feeling was of wanting to “get away”. Then I noticed that what I wanted to “get away” from was not so much from the frustrating situation, but the “vibes” in the space around me because I felt like I was being “swamped”. Much of my reaction was to the emotions which I was empathically pulling into my belly. Realizing that, I picked up two amethyst crystals and held one in each hand. (If you don’t have the amethyst crystals, just imagine that you do and continue with this process.) Then I put a rose quartz heart pendant around my neck which allowed the stone to rest over my heart chakra. Then I imagined that the color and energy flowed from these stones into my body and as it did, I progressively relaxed. I placed my attention on my heart center while continuing to breathe. Realizing as I did this that rather than “fleeing” the frightful and angry emotions both within and without me, I instead began to accept them. By accepting them, however, I didn’t continue to bring the “vibes” into myself, but rather I sent out love. To do this, I imagined myself to be centered inside an amethyst pyramid, the tip pointing into the heavens. I felt both protected and calm. Then I opened my heart center and imagined a stream of pink light flowing outward throughout my body and throughout the office. I imagined this calming, accepting light flowing into each and every person around me. I felt as if we all, bureaucrats included, were joined in this vast comic dance and that it was all “alright”. Then, when I felt that the time was right, I withdrew my attention from the pink light, envisioned myself centered inside the amethyst pyramid, and then imagined myself leaving the pyramid to sit in the middle of the circle of amethyst heart-stones. After mentally disconnecting the circled amethyst hearts from each other, I picked them up, cleared them, and wrapped them up. I kept the rose quartz heart pendant on so I would continue to feel the effects of this meditation…and I resolved to put more rose quartz up in my office. Blessings to us all!
