To relax the system and increase awareness, we recommend meditation with Amethyst. Its energy encourages the mind to be humble and surrender to that which is greater than itself in order to gain some understanding of how the powers of the universe can direct and guide one’s life. They represent personal identification with the Infinite and oneness with God. These crystals provide a soul connection and the highest self-illumination, as well as a cosmic doorway to other worlds. They are attuned to higher, more spiritually enlightened things, and embody true humility. The higher vibrational White and Lavender/White crystals are associated with the Higher Crown, Soul Star, and Stellar Gateway Chakras. Their violet rays have the universal life force of magic, dreams, inspiration, and destiny. Imbalances of the Crown Chakra are treated with Light Violet crystals. When the Crown is in balance, our energies are in balance. It is the fountainhead of our beliefs and the source of our spirituality. It controls how we think, and how we respond to the world around us. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and is our gateway to the expanded universe beyond our bodies. It is a color of mystery, wisdom, and judgment. The dark blue/purple crystals of indigo are used to treat imbalances of the Third Eye Chakra. When the Third Eye Chakra is in balance our thoughts and internal communications within ourselves are healthy and vibrant. Our consciousness is located here and we relate to ourselves through this chakra. It directs our sight and everyday awareness of the world. The Third Eye Chakra is the center of our perception and command. It is a perfect stone to gift to those with terminal illnesses or to use in preparation for a conscious death experience. It is an ideal crystal to hold or meditate upon during the death experience, of another or oneself, allowing the release of the temporal physical body with more ease, assuredness, and peace.
