Crystals for Light and Awareness
by Margaret Ann Lembo
Celebrate enjoying more light in our lives. Crystals can amplify the spiritual light within to empower and enliven. It is lovely to glow and radiate light and well-being in all interactions. This self-improvement tip will increase your happiness and the happiness of those with whom you interact.
Yellow stones, in their essence, are beacons of joy and balance. They support the solar plexus chakra, the center of confidence, mental clarity, personal power, and high self-esteem. This chakra is your gateway to absorbing and integrating life. Embrace the hope that comes with the understanding that you have the power to shape your experiences.
The solar plexus chakra is the powerhouse that gives you the strength to stand in your power. It is the part of your consciousness responsible for digesting life, food, and nutrition, and is your reminder that anything you put your attention into can manifest.
Amber, a powerful ally in your journey of self-discovery, aids in setting boundaries. As you delve deeper into self-awareness, you gain the strength to break familial patterns, overcome poor health, and reject abusive behavior. Adorn yourself with an amber bracelet or pendant, and affirm: I am the guardian of my sacred space. I am shielded, nurtured, and cherished.
Citrine, the yellow variety of quartz, is a stone of self-confidence and joy. Its warm, sunny color is a reminder of your own inner light and magnificence. Use this stone to help you overcome depression and relieve feelings of inferiority or unworthiness. Affirm this statement while holding citrine: I honor and respect myself. I allow others to see my magnificence, for I am worthy of joy and self-confidence.
Amethyst, a gateway to transformation, is excellent for altering any situation. As the opposite of yellow on the color wheel, it holds the power of change. When faced with challenges in friendships or situations where you feel powerless, remember, you have the ability to change the outcome. Immerse yourself in the swirling energy of purple and the heart of amethyst through visualization and imagination. With amethyst in your grasp, affirm: I perceive, sense, feel, and understand that life is a marvel. It is effortless for me to improve things by envisioning a better path.
Do you need to transform agitation, jealousy, self-sabotage, and impatience? Wear some peridot to lighten the emotions and invite acceptance, empathy, tolerance, and love. Maintain a focus on the blessings in your life. Open your mind to unlimited possibilities. With this green gem nearby, think like: I know that good fortune results from good thoughts and energy.
Cultivating personal power through awareness is essential. Your thoughts, words, and actions will strengthen courage and self-confidence. We create our lives with our thoughts, actions, words, and deeds. Your intentions vibrate into the world and return to you in the form of your reality. Take a grounded and optimistic approach with high self-esteem to design your reality.
