Yoga Month: Crystals for Intention

What is often considered living in the NOW, intention can be defined

as "a determination to act in a certain way". Intention is a tool

that can be used to bring about change. With clear intent, we

formulate a greater deliberateness in order to achieve the end

result.

When you break down the process of what true intention really is, you

will find a process that unfolds before you. By applying this

process, you create your intention. Here is how you map out your

intentions, either on your yoga mat or in your daily life:

1. Have purpose : Your reason behind your intention is purpose.

Having a purpose infers a more determined path.

2. Design your intent : This suggests a more careful, laid out and

calculated plan of action. What, when, why where, how.

3. Improve your aim : By improving your aim, you add to your

implications or target effort directed toward attaining your

intention.

4. Gain your objective : Create a clear objective by aiming for

something tangible and immediately attainable.

5. Reach your goal : The goal is the result of your intention, put

into action and attaining it by thought out effort and un-waiving

focus.

Crystals are great tools for intention. Any crystal can be programmed

for a particular intention. Some crystals have additional properties

relative to intention. These include: Apophylite (Mirror),

Lepidolite, Quartz (Clear), Sapphire.

Mirror Apophylite

Properties: This has the reflective qualities of being able to

receive back what intentions are sent into the "mirror' of this

stone. It has been used for centuries in India in the "art of

gazing". One Mirror Apophylite is usually passed down from generation

to generation. It is often called upon to reflect doings from the

past to its user, in order to see both the good and the bad aspects

of a families' past. Allowing the gazer to be aware of and work on

improving the deficiencies from within. It provides a clear and

absolute connection between the physical bodies and the astral bodies

of its user. Mirror Apophylite is an extremely powerful crystal and

will also enrich the users' intuitive capacities by stimulating the

Third Eye Chakra.

Lepidolite

Properties: Lepidolite is a lithium-mica. It is high in lithium and

was originally mined for the mineral. Calms and relaxes. Gently eases

intensity of feelings, stress, mood swings, depression, manic-

depression, self-criticism, anxiety, addictions, worrying. Brings

hope, relief, gentleness, self-love, patience, self-forgiveness,

unworried sleep, mental/emotional balance, well-being. For master

gland and immune system, skin, DNA. Balances Brow Chakra with new

spiritual love. Fragile; salt water cleanse may cause it to break

apart. .

Clear Quartz

Properties: Clear Quartz is thought to amplify both body energy and

thoughts. It can assist in the creation of power, clarity of

thinking, meditation, cleansing, clearing the aura, spiritual

development and healing. Clear Quartz is considered the "stone of

power". A dedicated healer. Pure white light passes through it

easily, leaving all the colors of the spectrum unaltered and giving

substance to the argument that Clear Quartz crystals can help balance

all the elements needed to make us whole and fulfilled. Amplify

whatever influences are present in an individual or location. Acts as

a purifier and tunes into the frequency of each individual. Will

unblock specific areas or organs blocked from transmitting or

receiving the flow of energy throughout the body. Helpful in guiding

our search for the meaning and importance of existence. Helps in

meditation. Can be used in conjunction with any other stone or gem

for specific physical problems. It will amplify the effects of

individual stones and attune the treatment to the energy of an

individual person.

Sapphire

Properties: Sapphire is helpful for communication, insight,

intuition, clairaudience, inspiration, spiritual prayer/devotion,

peacefulness. Especially for the Throat Chakra. Also: wisdom, will,

centering, cheerfulness, luck. Reduces radiation effects, anxiety,

procrastination. Some effects subtle. May strengthen by posing

challenges to overcome.
