Rocks for Lovers: Bow Chicka Wow Wow

Not just love, love... but bow chicka wow wow, blow your mind, curl your toes, red hot passion, put your back into it, kinda love.  Do I have your attention yet? ;)

OK.  Maybe we've lost enough of that holiday weight at this point that we can muster up enough give-a-bleep about having a super sexy evening with our respective Snuggle Bunnies.  Groovy.  I'm in.  (If you aren't into it this year, no worries, just flip Hallmark the bird and put your sweats on and have some chocolate anyway. :) 

If you are an energy baby, like I am, and would like something buzzy to support love, passion, and intimacy events, well by golly, you've come to the right place.

 

I bent Christopher's ear, my ETE work-mate, to see what he considered to be "rocks for love", and we constructed a crystalline grid that we both thought would do the trick, so to speak.  He's really good with the historical and traditional body of knowledge about rocks, and I am more a "do and learn" kind of person, so it's always interesting to see in what ways we come up with the same things and in what way we don't. 

 

So, let's begin. 

 

When you think love and passion, there are several types of energy centers/colors that come up.  Obviously, red.  Red is a root chakra color and we definitely want to tickle that area.  Orange is next, that is the belly/sacral chakra that actually is directly related to sexuality, creativity, and other zesty things.  However, while things are all hot and bothered "down below", you also want to cultivate a whole lot of heart and emotional support "above". (Let's be honest, without soulful, meaningful love... you might as well just invest in a really good toy and have lots of batteries.)  The heart center is tickled by both pink and green. 

 

When you consider the larger picture, the entire system is involved in true love making.  So there is a lot of wiggle room when considering what stones you might wish to select in any love support combination.  Make sure you pay attention to what is calling you on a personal level, eh? 

 

Christopher turned me on to some other stones too, which I wouldn't have necessarily known were love stones, but it made perfect sense to me when he explained it.  Stones that have a traditional connection to love goddess/planetary energies, like Venus, were considered to be love stones.  When we were first playing with the grid energies, he said the version that I liked was a little "butch", so he added some Venusian influences, like a layer of emerald and a copper rich center stone that is a chrysocolla in matrix, also known by the trade name of "Quantum Quattro Silica".  It is afterall, a grid meant for two genders, at least this one, though it makes sense I responded to a more butch model at first. (Yee haw.)  Both the emerald and the chrysocolla in matrix would correspond to traditional "Venus" associated rocks.  He also has introduced me to the "attraction" of magnetite and lodestone, which are natural magnets, when it comes to attracting to you what you want, such as in an abundance grid, or just in "attracting" in general, like in a love grid.  He's such a smart boy, that one. 

 

Chris wrote a whole blog article on the planetary gemstones of Venus linked rocks, which you can find here: Planetary Gemstones of Venus

 

Crystalline Grid for Lovers  aka: Valentines Grid

 

OK, so here is what we put together for a seductive Valentines Grid that has a little something-something for both male and female participants.  Keep in mind we have a warehouse full of rocks from which to choose, and this is the combination that seemed to pop the best.  It isn't the only combination, by a long shot.  If you are constructing your own,  have fun with it. ;)
 

Center Stone

Chrysocolla in Matrix (may also have: shattuckite, ajoite, malachite, smoky quartz, dioptase): This adds the Venus energy with copper, but the blue would correspond to communication as well as stimulating the psychic and spiritual centers.

 

Outside Layers from Inside to Outside

Magenta Rose Quartz: This would help to open the heart, which is always a good thing.

Garnet: I call garnets "happy marriage" stones because they are known for passion and intimacy. 

Emerald: For deep love, also a Venus linked stone.

Starry Jasper: This is a red jasper that has both pyrite and hematite inclusions.  I love this stone because it pulls complex duty; release, vitality, spirituality, warmth, groundedness.

Magnetite: For attraction!

River Carnelian: This tickles the belly chakra, but I also like that they were in a river. Flow, rush, gush. 

 

Crystalline grids can be set up and activated under a bed or on a nightstand next to the bed since they radiate a nice broad energy field when they are up and running.   

 

There are other options, of course.  You could simply get 4 rocks and do a four-stone bed grid, if you don't want too much fuss.  The only question in this instance is what single rock would you want to amplify under your bed for rockin' love making?  I asked Chris which type of rock he would want to use to grid his bed, if he could only choose one.  I thought he'd say Shiva Lingam, but I was wrong.  He actually selected carnelian because he said it would be good for stamina, activating the sexual centers, and that kind of thing.  He said stamina twice.  (Boys.)  It's a solid selection, really.  I particularly like the river tumbled carnelian because it is fire and water at the same time.

 

If I had to select a single stone to grid my bed, hmmm... that is a tough one.  I might actually select shungite because it is all about alchemical blending of elements, which is pretty sexy, but it is also about melting into the primal pulse of creation.  Umm, yeah, Mamma like.  It also isn't a very subtle energy and seems quite competent to get a party started and move some serious energy.  You can read my blog article about shungite here. 

 

If I were going to make a gem elixir of various stones to drop into my pre-love libations, hmmm... rose quartz, moonstone, sunstone, shungite, garnet, ruby, carnelian, heck, why choose.  Throw them all in the pool and make it a free-for-all. 

 

If you aren't familiar with gem elixirs, you can read my blog article about them here.

Solar Storm Mitigation: Solar Flare Support

OMG.  The solar flares this year are so flipping active that it seems like every other week we are having to deal with another CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) that's smacking solar particles into Earth's geomagnetic energy field.  Yes, it can create beautiful Northern Lights, but for those of us who are a little sensitive... Geez Louise... enough already.  We're about ready to crawl into a hole and cry for awhile.

The Metaphysical Corner chat group on Facebook is awash in stories of people really having a hard time staying comfortable through the more active solar activity.  The symptoms include feeling like you are having PMS, brain fog, inability to ground, an increase in migraines and other physical pain, exhaustion, nausea, inability to sleep or trouble sleeping, or that feeling of being wired and tired simultaneously.  I have noticed that solar plexus "power issues" also seem to pop up, which is something that I solved in my own space with a couple of well placed golden moonstone.  These kinds of issues are getting more intense as the year progresses.  So, it's just ~up~.  

There are enough people having a really hard time that Christopher and I spent all day in the warehouse here at Enter the Earth to connect in with our guidance and get some relief going.

 

Some of you are familiar with the way I set up energy work, like in my book, Awake in Angelscape. It's kind of the "easy button" way of creating energy weaves of useful assistance.  It is like creating a download or process within one action command.  I used to call these "moments", now I just call the phrase to call the energy set an "action statement".  Umm, think it of like a prayer that is set up so all you have to do is call it by name, instead of reciting the whole thing to connect in with the energies.  I've also described it as calling into a pre-recorded message, but the message is an energy download intended to deal with a specific issue.  It is a spiritually based "ask and receive" system, as it does absolutely require spiritual cooperation to work.  In fact, I call this kind of work "Cooperative Spiritual Energy Work" cause.. well, I don't know what else to call it and it fits. 

Anyway, the process isn't that difficult, but it does require some up front time-on-task.  I essentially articulate the goal that I want from the work.  In this instance, I have called it "Solar Storm Mitigation".  That is the goal.  We want to mitigate the shit storm of OMG that is created from all this solar activity.  The next step is to list the intention set that I think supports the goal of the work. 

 

I try to put as much thought into this part because it seems to matter that I articulate my free will in a specific way.  However, since I am aware that I'm a tiny, little, limited human (at the moment), I then take what I think I need and kick it up to the spiritual level to be corrected in perfection and brought within Divine Will.  I call this "Spiritual CYA" (Cover Your Ass) because, well, just because you can throw your free will around in the  manifestation process, doesn't mean you should.  I give God/Divine Will overriding editing rights over every utterance I make, every intention I assemble, because... well, I'm not interested in working against Divine Will.  Once it's been kicked up to the Big Guy for correction and editing, then I seal the work so it maintains its integrity in perpetuity.  I do that with this action statement, "I ask to Bless, Optimize, Stabilize, Amplify, and Seal the work under God, now please."

 

Anyway...so that is a little instruction on how I set up energy work, which seemed relevant.  It's not rocket surgery.  You can do it too.  There is nothing special about me except that I actually spent a decade sorting this kind of work out instead of trying to be normal.  Everyone has their thing.  This is mine. 

 

So, Solar Storm Mitigation is the over-arching goal.  The intentions supporting the goal are as follows:

• Protection from the harmful effects of solar activity of any kind (solar wind, particles, radiation, emf, geomagnetic distress, and whatever else the sun burps up and causes in consequence...).
• Mitigation of discomfort and imbalances in our systems caused by solar activity of any kind.
• Oh Shit Mitigation (My phrase for whatever state it is when you are rocking, holding your head in your hands, and saying, "Oh Shit", in response to any particular event/issue/stimuli.  It's my way of saying, please give us super comfort when we are pushed beyond our ability to cope and make it so that we can cope.  Thank you, Oh Beautiful Master of the Universe.).
• Enhanced/Optimal grounding to relevant layers, levels, and systems of relevance, such as, but not limited to, the Earth's grid system, the spiritual grid system, the system of other energetically plugged in human beings (I call that the Tapestry of Light), and whatever else is relevant, God's Choice.
• Optimal Assistance from us to whatever the Bigger Picture happens to be.  If there is a way for us to be used as instruments for these solar storms to be mitigated on a global level, or somehow utilized in a productive way for human evolution or whatever else beneficial, please let us be instruments of the Highest Possible Outcome to unfold on Earth and for Humanity within Divine Will.
• Mitigation of the specific complaints of PMS-pissy, emotional weepy stuff, fatigue, wired/tired, sleep issues, brain fog, power issues, migraines, physical pain, and general lack of feeling in ones body properly.
• All Body/Whole Self Support in any way needed: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual, as well as in any subtle energy systems or subsystems, such as chakras, meridians. 
• EMF protection for sensitive technical systems, such as satellites, communications, and any other mechanical/technical stuff I can't even name that would be messed up with really strong flare activity that would make people lose their flipping minds.  (i-phone kaputnick mitigation?)

• Graceful integration of any beneficial shifts, or any other kind of benefit (known or unknown) associated with increased solar activity. (Hey, maybe there is a point to this somehow.)
• Optimal spiritual assistance, guidance, and cooperation with and from relevant helpers that are in Divine Alignment, and working exclusively within Divine Will, to support the Highest Possible Outcome to unfold on Earth and for Humanity within Divine Will with as much Ease, Grace, Mercy, Compassion, and Love as possible.  (Yes, I am redundantly redundant about being within Divine Will.  I find it an exceedingly good practice.)
• I request for the Highest Possible Outcome to unfold on Earth and for Humanity within Divine Will with as much Ease, Grace, Mercy, Compassion, and Love as possible.  I ask to Hold Space in whatever way I may to support that request. (That is my go to prayer and I'm redunantly redundant about that too.)
• I request for this goal and intention set to be corrected in perfection and brought within Divine Will and for any other appropriate intentions to be added at the spiritual level that may be needed or useful to the goal. 
• I request for any beneficial upgrades to be woven into the work automatically at the spiritual level as new needs emerge.  If those intentions need to be made at the human level, please send enough guidance for us to figure it out and articulate those intentions in perfect time.
• I request to Bless, Optimize, Stabilize, Amplify and Seal the Solar Storm Mitigation work under God/Divine Will, such that it maintains its integrity through time. 

Alrighty then.... so this work is available now.  To connect to it just say, "I request to initiate Solar Storm Mitigation, now please."  (Or something like that... you could actually just say "Run Solar Storm Mitigation. Or, "Solar Storm Mitigation now." Whatever, God is competent. )

On the physical tool side of things... obviously, I'm partial to rocks.  They are pretty and they give me a buzz.  You don't need them to receive the benefits of this work, but since we are physical beings, sometimes it's quite nice to have something physical to use to connect to the energies.

The best rock, at least available here at this huge warehouse of rocks, is Girasol Quartz.  It gave Christopher and I both the biggest hits.  It also is a good anchor to the Solar Storm Mitigation energy download.  We attuned all the Girasol Quartz in the warehouse to Solar Storm Mitigation, but... well, we asked for it to be rolled out to all Girasol Quartz on the planet, if it was okay for us to ask for that.  It sure seemed like it was okay to ask for it, but it's hard to tell what the heck is going on when you are all wooed out and in an altered state.  We asked.  If you have Girasol Quartz at home, go and give it a feel and see if it has an 'upgrade'.  If so, you might want to use it as a carry around piece if you are feeling uncomfortable.

So, for a single stone assist... get a nice Girasol Quartz piece.  If you want to go through the process of anchoring it to Solar Storm Mitigation for good measure, hold your rock and say, "I request to attune this rock to the Solar Storm Mitigation work, now please."  Give it a minute, then say, "I request to Bless, Optimize, Stabilize, Amplify, and Seal this under God/Divine Will, now please."

Next, Christopher and I went down a long list of rock resources to figure out what would be a really good crystalline grid to set up for Solar Storm Mitigation.  The ones that ended up in our crystalline grid are: girasol quartz, with layers of yellow opal, smoky/amethyst elestials, ruby, lepidolite, magnetite, and shungite. 

When we activated the grid, first, I felt completely normal.  I mean... just normal, which I guess is the point of mitigation work.  You WANT to feel normal, not all flipped out.  Then, the energy spread.  Then it spread some more.  It felt like it was weaving outward, which makes sense if we asked specifically to be anchored to appropriate systems.  It did feel like it went into the Earth's grid system, so that one activated grid may actually cover quite a bit of ground, perhaps even regionally.  Seems like a mighty nice thing to do for the neighborhood.

The other option we set up was a simple medicine set that has one of each of the stones in the grid.  This way it is a little more affordable, but you can do a lot with the single energies.  You can make yourself a medicine pouch, use the stones in your pillow case, stuff it in your bra, make a non-contact gem elixir, and so on.

Anyway.  So.  Solar Storm Mitigation.  We gave our best whack at it and hope that it helps some of you sweet, sensitive souls.  Hugs to All.  Keep breathing.  It will be okay.  I know, I'm redundantly redundant about that too. :)

Lepidolite: The "Oh Sh*t" Stone

I tell people all the time that if I could live in a rose quartz house and sleep on a lepidolite bed, that I would be a happy girl.  Lepidolite is the stone that I grab when I'm holding my head in my hands and saying, "Oh Sh*t!"  It's the stone I grab when I'm stressed, pushed beyond my ability to cope, being thrown through my "weird ceiling", or dancing on the edge of being okay and not okay.

Lepidolite is full of lithium, which is a psychiatric drug...and that would explain why I grab lepidolite when I feel like a ~Hot Effing Mess~. Thankfully, that doesn't happen very often and I have enough tools to right myself fairly quickly.  Maybe it is the large lepidolite slab that I have slipped inside my mattress that helps.  I love that thing.  It's the closest I can come to having a lepidolite bed, I guess. 

Like rose quartz, I could put lepidolite with anything, for any job, in any combination, and for any purpose... because... any healing work we do, or transitions we endure, require that we create some kind of shift from one state to another.  This means change.  Sometimes it means a whole lot of change, sometimes just a little... but we humans pretty much suck at "change".  It really tends to flip us out and makes us very uncomfortable, but there are a lot of changes that are positive, necessary, and good.  There are some changes which behoove us to ~suck up and deal~.  No one ever said growth was easy.  If it were, everyone would be doing it. :) 

Lepidolite is all about our being able to change, grow, evolve, expand, and move through necessary developmental "break throughs" with as much ease as possible.  Lately, it seems like we are all being tossed unceremoniously through our own "weird ceilings" in one way or another.  A weird ceiling is basically how far you can be pushed before freaking-the-heck-out and becoming a hot mess.  It happens when you come to an experience that contradicts a previous belief you may have held that isn't quite true.  For example, if you believed there were no such thing as ghosts/spirits or the afterlife,  and one day ~tada~, your dear Aunt Edna shows up in front of you then vanishes moments after she died.  Umm, that would probably be a little weird, eh?

The process of updating a limited, distorted, or false perception...well, it feels a lot like going crazy.  Think about it... your perception literally defines what you think is "real".... and real is what defines your "reality".  When your sense of reality gets a bit more expansive, you will first feel like you are going crazy.  That is where the "Oh Sh*t!" comes in.  Yeah, and you can't decide to take the blue pill after taking the red one.  Sorry, but there is no pushing that horse back into the barn once it's out.  If there was, I might have had a millisecond of temptation to be normal again.  But just a millisecond.  Thankfully, there is lepidolite to help me not lose my head when strange things are afoot.  And believe it or not, even as high as my weird ceiling is at this point in my life, I know I can still be thrown through it.  I learned not to say, "Nothing could surprise me anymore."  That's just telling the Universe that you are ready for the next big "holy shit" moment to knock you over.  Just take my word for that.  Or don't, and enjoy the consequences. :)

Mmm.  Lepidolite. *cuddles it*  Stacie likey.  Thanks for helping me stay sane when things get all jiggy.
