Amethyst reflects the purple
ray, and is associated with the awakening of the third eye,
or ‘Ajna chakra.’ It is one of the best stones to use for meditation,
as it provides a gate to the higher regions of awareness and an ability to
transform reality from one form to another. Amethyst’s gentle persuasion
temporarily stills the mundane thought processes that usually inundate the
consciousness so that the mind can experience tranquility. This crystal
guides the awareness away from self-centered thought patterns as it lures
the mind towards a deeper understanding. The inner calm and peace
initiated by this stone enable one to dive deep into the ocean of silence.
Only then can one cross the threshold into the realms of true
knowing and wisdom.
Because of the calming mental effect, Amethyst is a
stone that can be used for overworked, overstressed, or overwhelmed mental
states. It is one of the best crystals to use for migraine headaches as it
eases the mental anxieties that tend to cause such mental
conditions. Amethyst brings one the energies of composure and
enhancement in decisions and ability to manage any and all
responsibilities. It is said to help business affairs prosper,
as the mind becomes attuned to the highest good of any situation. Used in
the assimilation of new ideas, intellectual activities are enhanced by
interacting with this stone. Spiritual insight and psychic intuition
are coupled with intellectual reasoning to attain integral choices
and clear definition.
Amethyst has the ability to
transform lower energies into higher and acts as a healer at all levels of
mind, body, and spirit. It is also known for protecting the mind from
psychic attacks. It provides a clear connection between the Earth plane and
the subtle realms. It clears the aura and transmutes any dysfunctional
energy located within one’s body. Amethyst also bestows stability, strength,
and invigoration.
There are many physical uses
of which the healing powers of Amethyst are a remedy. As an elixir, it can
be used to treat toothaches, skeletal discomforts, posture and other bone
and joint-related sickness (such as arthritis). Amethyst also cures problems
within the stomach and digestive tract, heart and hearing disorders. It has
been known to treat various types of blood disease, and balancing blood
sugar. It has, since historical times, been used to encourage and support
sobriety. It is an excellent crystal for one who is attempting to find
freedom from addictive personalities. |
