For many people January is a time of planning and embarking on new beginnings. Some of us can use a bit of help to get started and see things through to completion. Let’s talk about which crystals can support you in these efforts.
Rarely is it one crystal that does it all in achieving an intention. More often than not, it is a combination of crystals that bring the energetic solution together. For example, new beginnings entails more than just starting something new. The path to successfully accomplishing a goal is a process of thought and action supported by tools that keep you on track from beginning to end. This process can be outlined as follows:
1. Defining your desire / outcome / intention with clarity
2. Establishing a plan of how to go about reaching your goal
3. Embarking on the journey to achieve your desired outcome
4. Supporting yourself on the journey by keeping your energy high, focused, and aligned with your goal and your core values.
Each of these steps may need a different crystal energy to support your efforts.
The first step to a new beginning is knowing where you want to end up. For this step wearing a clear quartz bracelet brings focus, opens you up to inspiration of what you want to accomplish and where you want to go, and it helps you be clear on what success looks like. As you work through defining the desired outcome, your clear quartz bracelet helps bring all of your energy centers into alignment.
Now that you have a clear desired outcome, you need to establish a plan. For this step we look to Jasper which is the stone of organization and planning. Jasper helps navigate difficult situations and events and is known as the “supreme nurturer!” This stone is gentle and soothing and alleviates stress in times of strife. Awaken your courage and determination to embark on important and necessary pursuits by wearing your Jasper bracelet.
You have now made it through the two most difficult steps in the process of new beginnings; being clear on what you want to accomplish and creating a plan to get there. Now you are ready to take your first step!
Embark on your new journey with a moonstone bracelet. This bracelet supports, and even awakens, your dreams and visions for the future. Moonstone energizes your fourth chakra which supports your desire and encourages you to make heart centered decisions. This stone also works with the sixth chakra, which is your third eye. It keeps you true to your vision and alerts you to any upcoming challenges or junctions. Finally, moonstone engages the seventh chakra—our crown energy center which connects us to spirit. This energy center reminds you that you are guided every step of the journey.
While on your journey, if you find yourself struggling with decisions or finding the right people to help you, then this is the time to put on your Green Aventurine bracelet. This stone awakens your leadership skills, promotes decisiveness, and perseverance; it is because of these qualities that many consider green aventurine to be a stone of manifestation and prosperity.
Another very supportive stone to wear while on the path to success is Citrine. This stone keeps you strong and powerful. This was a most coveted stone in ancient times for its protective, energizing, and warming energy. Citrine supports your success by:
· Cleansing and balancing your chakra system
· Activating your solar plexus chakra, which is your power center
· Awakening your courage and strength
· Enhancing your concentration
· Helping you overcome fear, anxiety, and worry.
Your citrine bracelet will make you feel that you carry the power of the sun!
Applying the knowledge of crystal energy ensures that you are supported and poised to be successful in your new beginnings.
To your success!
