Day 1 - Carnelian

Today is the big day and we're starting off with an excellent crystal.

I really love carnelian and have used it for many different things. I typically use the middle piece at the bottom of the photo to realign my sacral chakra. I have also called upon its energizing qualities a time or two. As you can see from the photo, carnelian is associated with the element of fire.

The PDF that comes with the card echoes "creativity and action" in the message. Drawing this card alerts us to the fact that we have the potential to make our life what we will and that now is the time for action, of change. We have to put in the work and do.

This card is telling us to get moving and start working; we are being guided to create that life now as opposed to later. If you have a piece of carnelian in your collection, today is a great time to use it. If you're unsure how to connect with your crystals then I suggest YouTube as a resource - there are dozens of videos to get you started.

Check back tomorrow for day 2!

Day 2 - Blue Lace Agate

Yesterday's "Passage" speaks to us about communication. There are dozens of gemstones and crystals aligned with the Throat Chakra and are thus great for increasing our ability to communicate. My go to crystal for this Chakra is Blue Lace Agate and I knew that this stone would fit in perfectly.

Judy Hall's "101 Power Crystals" states that "Blue Lace Agate dramatically changes your ability to communicate and to speak your truth." 

This gemstone can be used in crystal grids and mojo bags, or just by carrying a tumbled piece in your pocket. Wearing this stone as a pendant is perfect because of it's potential proximity to your Throat Chakra. With a Mohs hardness of 7 it is a perfect stone to use to create a gem elixir.

Do you have a crystal or gemstone that you use to aid in communication? Please leave a comment to let me know what it is.
