Amethyst turned dark

It's cool that you are forming relationships with your crystals.  I have a ton but haven't really formed any kind of relationship or communications yet.  I really need to learn more about each one and spend time with each one programming it. Purified water is good. Soe will fall apart if soaked in water too long though like my apothyllite I have. Or desert rose. So you kinda gotta read about each one really and find something that works for you.  I know colored crystals may fade if put in the sun too long.  I found this it might help.  https://www.allcrystal.com/articles/how-to-cleanse-amethyst/    I think I'll start with maybe a couple crystals per day and focus on them until I get to all of them..ha  I have soo many different ones.  I'm not sure I'm supposed to put them all together either.  It really does matter if you connect with them and use words and stuff to cleanse and charge and set intentions for them etc. They all have their own particular frequencies and properties that help more with particular things.  Or just let them do what they're best at doing.  I'm usually always wearing certain ones or have like shungite or black tourmaline near me all the time or this huge 1 lb rose quartz I have. I have been meaning to look up Reiki and that sort of stuff but haven't yet. I know nothing about it.  Might come in handy seeings how so many people on here are into it. Nice to meet you.....

@rainyangel Thank you SO MUCH for this link, Angie!

When I saw that my crystal had turned dark, I picked it up in my hands and went downstairs. While I was walking I received an image of my amethyst on a specific windowsill in my house and I also saw the Moonlight. This amethyst has a very relaxed energy and I felt like it was saying, "Yo! Chillax, child! This is nothing to be worried about. Put me on your windowsill and let me bathe in the moonlight and it's all gonna be alright!". I read your link after that and was very surprised by the instant validation.

Another thing that I read is that you can let a clear Quartz crystal touch your other crystal to help with the cleanse. Again, it made me smile. I store my crystals in two boxes and each box has several containers to keep the different types of crystals separate (so they don't mix). I have two clear quartz crystals, they've been given to me by my Reiki teacher. When I picked one of them to give it Reiki this morning, it "told me" not to keep them together in the same box but put one of them in one box and the other in the other box and that this way they could help keep the energy clean in each box. I decided to call them my little soldiers. They were already filled with Reiki energy so I didn't need to hold them for too long.

I placed one of the quartz with my amethyst, the one that shares the same box. They're on my windowsill now and they "told me" to not worry, because fear and worry would defeat the purpose of the work my amethyst did today. All the instant validation that I got from the link you shared with me put my mind at ease. My crystals have been around for probably thousands of years and they know what they need. So I'll trust them.

It makes me laugh because I feel like a worried parent, but at the same time I feel that my crystals are very wise teachers. I feel blessed. This is all very unexpected to me but it feels right. Rocks and crystals have always reached out to me since I was a very small child. I used to pick up rocks everywhere I went and bring them back home with me. One day, my parents told me to get rid of them and please stop picking up rocks! I didn't listen and hid them in one of my drawers... until the drawer broke open. LOL! Rocks have always felt very strong and powerful to me. I guess all that is currently happening is not a coincidence.

@lane   That is awesome.  Yeah I love how old they are I mean I always wonder where exactly that particular stone or crystal spent most of it's life you know?  and know you're holding it.  You're making me want to pay more attention to mine and connect with them more as I really haven't as much as I could or should. I have a lot of great ones.  I guess Selenite and carnelian also can cleanse other crystals as well.  I have a selenite slab.  Yes sounds like your dear Amethyst would do well in the moonlight..smiles  Have you named it or will you?  I got a rope necklace thing that you can hold crystals in and changed them up whenever, it's cool.  I bought a piece of amber that is like millions of years old.  Like tree sap or some shit..ha   Like wow.  I wish I could feel the energies now but I really haven't gotten good at meditation or energy work all that well yet.  Kind of a beginner with the energy work stuff.  Been trying to detoxify my brain right now. Bought some pink salt for salt baths.  I heard ice baths are really good for you too. Or take a really hot one then shock your system with a really cold one and go back and forth.  Good for the energy body.  

@rainyangel One of my Tiger's Eye had a sad feel to it when I picked it up to give it Reiki. It showed me a very beautiful rock formation and I understood that it was where it came from but that it doesn't exist anymore because humans broke it appart. I didn't expect that. I didn't know rocks could be sad. I let it share its sadness with me and told it that I know humans are hurting Mother Gaia a lot and that it's sometimes very hard to accept. But, at the same time, it's not all negative because if this rock formation wouldn't have been broken, then I would have never had the opportunity to share this moment with it. And, moving forward, we can now work together to help Mother Gaia to the best of our abilities and help raise the frequency on the planet so that one day, humans won't feel the need to break the mineral kingdom, or any other kingdom, anymore. I held it until I felt the sadness leave and filled it with Reiki energy.

It's an eye opener for me.

I haven't named the amethyst yet. I will wait to see if a name comes to mind, but I will not name it myself. If no name comes, it's okay too. I already know its energy and its distinctive form, so a name is not really necessary. I'll see how it goes.

To feel the energy (of a rock or anything else) you really simply need to be open. Every time you think "I'm not very good at meditation or energy work", stop right there and let go of this limiting thought. Instead, make an affirmation: I am open to energy, I allow myself to listen to what it wants to tell me". Do not focus on what you think you lack, because that's what you will create. Focus on being open. Simply open. "I am open to high frequency energy" and see where it leads you. I still need to repeat this to myself several times a day. It's so easy to think in terms of limitations (in my opinion). We must remind ourselves constantly that we are limitless and we already know how to feel and understand energy. We ARE energy. Trust yourself.

@lane Thank you Lane.  Yes naming a crystal is probably kinda weird as that's probably not how it works with them naturally..ha I really love how connected you are with them.  It is inspiring me a lot.  I am going to practice being open more. It is actually what I'm focusing on these days. Surrendering, letting go, allowing, opening up, trusting etc.  Thanks for the affirmation and reminders to stop thinking in such limiting ways.  I do that a lot and I've been told that I need to change my self talk for sure.  I have the power!!   Like that He-man cartoon I used to watch back in the 80's.  ha  Well you probably weren't born then, I don't know.ha  Yes reminders, affirmations. 

I'm starting to write again now lately like an appreciation journal you know? And when I catch myself feeling bad in any way I stop myself and look at what I was thinking and try and work through that before I move on like don't let it slide.  Pay attention to my human and care about how she feels and what she needs, like EA says all the time. Practicing self love is a big one for me right now. I like to do mindfulness writing too and just now started back up with that. I bought a really nice big notebook to write things in.  Helps to be ver present and grounded, plus creativity is very connecting to your spirit I believe. 

You are making me really interested in learning Reiki and also connecting more with my stones. I want to pick up each one and connect with it. Cleanse it charge it and set intentions for it. Listen to is and ask it what it wants me to do with it or where I should put it. Hold it for the day or something.  Do that with maybe just a couple each day until I get to them all.  I have like I don't know maybe sixty different ones, don't know.  Most areaall together in a wooden dish and that's probably not good. All those vibrations mixing together. I usually just have a few around me, larger ones like rose quartz shungite, lapis lazui and amethyst and black tourmaline.  I kinda like carry them around from the living room to my bedroom at night.  I am sloppy with them all and not setting intentions or really holding and connecting . Going to do that from now on.  I think today would be a good day to look up Reiki too. I know nothing about it. Have a peaceful day.. ttyl

Such informative conversations 😊 I am learning too and thinking about getting my own crystal❤️
