Crystal Clarity

Energy is an interesting thing. It flows in many phases, and also builds up within structures of the material plane.

We either use this energy by converting things from one form to another (such as fossil remains to fuel), or by affinity – such as gazing at a sunset, or smelling a flower.

I was very ill a couple of weeks ago when my intestines froze / stopped working. For two days, I just lay in bed, hardly eating, drinking, or moving because my system was in toxic shock.

Environmental factors over three days caused this: a half cup of imbibed cabernet wine, heavy in sulfites; consumed boiled yellow onion and potato juices with a heavenly roast; and breathing in too large a quantity of spores from mildew and molds while driving a once-stagnated vehicle.

My system balked at the overload and just shut down. It was an excruciatingly uncomfortable state to be in.

When things began slowly moving again, I did not feel like I was really getting better, no matter how I tried to influence the equation with electrolytes, chewable papaya, etc.

Then, my son and I stopped by an esoteric beads-and-more shop before heading home from a trip one day. Inside, there was this large, raw, white crystal that fit perfectly into my hand and that I felt drawn to.

I had to have it. It had such a comforting feel to it, as if I were gasping for breath and it provided oxygen. It just soothed my senses and reminded me of how vital I used to be and feel.

I sat it on my lap all the way home. I lay with it on my stomach anywhere I felt blocked, once I climbed into the sheets on my bed.

I held onto its presence and told my cells to align with its beneficent purity. I put a prayer out to guide me and my body back to dynamic functionality.

Whether feeling affinity with the crystal shifted focus of my energy due to positive association, or whether the crystal was and is still full of such thrumming energetic harmony, all I know is I am significantly gaining my strength back on levels that were before denied to me.

The presence of this crystal has been like a dear friend come to stay with me, giving me a sense of love and light and warmth through these darker days of my life.

Its radiant and clear brilliance in the sun, revealing rainbow spectrums along fractal planes within it, mirrors how I want to be living more in a purified en”lightened” state of being – full of colorful vivacity.
