Summer Stone Magic
by Stephanie Pflumm ©Copyright 2005
Summer has always been a season of Magic. Perhaps it is because Mother Earth
is working her Magic all around us with the loving warmth of Grandfather
Sun. Flowers bloom to provide beauty, fragrance & sometimes fruit for our
bodies. Animals quickly raise their young, hoping to prepare them for the
inevitable Winter. Humans are busy decorating interstate highways with
orange barrels and families rush through weekend projects to improve their
homes.
All relations are doing what they need to do to make life happen. This is
the message & energy of Fire, the element that rules the Southern quarter of
the Medicine Wheel. To Do. Put the wishes & dreams that live in your heart
into motion & begin doing instead of just dreaming.
Have you been putting off an important project because you felt you lacked
the energy to follow through with it? Take advantage of Fire¹s strength by
moving forward & make your plans real. Once you have started, you may
discover a limitless well of energy to draw from.
Honor Mother Earth & the Creator that gave us this beautiful world by
working in ways to heal the planet. Join a local clean-up program for
creeks. rivers, lakes or roadways in your community. Help build a home for
those without, join a recycling group or sign up for a committee working to
preserve our natural resources.
While you are working, do not forget to take time to play. Summer is the
time to reward your inner child, or share the world with the children you
are raising. Remember the Fire in Winter¹s hearth. Doesn't the flame also
dance & play with the Air while it does the work of turning wood to warmth?
Here are some gems & crystals that can help enhance your work with Fire
energies and give you that extra push for getting through your big projects
this Summer:
Aquamarine:
Teaches you responsibility and organization. Keeps you focused on your goal,
so that you remain persistent in spite of setbacks. Aids in communicating
your ideas and goals.
Aventurine:
Stimulates opportunity, improves your leadership skills and helps you
respond to challenges on an instinctive level - allowing you to make quick,
confident decisions. Use green to give Heart to your efforts, pink to keep
stress levels low, blue for effective communication or white for protection
surrounding your efforts.
Bloodstone:
A wonderful stone for extra courage, it also strengthens your resolve and
can help lower stress. It improves technical or creative talents
Citrine:
A survivor's stone, it imparts courage when the chips are really down. The
crystal brings wisdom for making good decisions and helps remove
self-imposed obstacles.
Emerald:
This gem is especially helpful in large work situations, it promotes harmony
within the group and helps them work together for solutions. The crystal
also increases your own mental skills and focus giving you the tools you
need to overcome challenges.
Garnet:
One of my favorite business stones, it attracts good news, stimulates
success in business and helps keep your energy levels balanced.
Pyrite:
This Fire and Earth mineral increases self-confidence while allowing you to
stay grounded in reality. It illuminates opportunities and obstacles and
helps you see clearly how to take advantage of, or conquer situations.
Sunstone:
This fire crystal boosts self-confidence instilling an inextinguishable
joy-of-life. It helps you to quit blaming everyone and everything else for
your failures, allowing you to move ahead towards success. If your attitude
needs an adjustment, Sunstone works much better than other recommended
methods.
When the Medicine Wheel turns South and we enter the Season of Fire, now is
the time to act, to do that which your heart most desires.
