I love crystals! When I was given the opportunity to handle and explore Michael Eastwood's Crystal Oversoul Attunements Healing Cards I was beyond delighted. Choosing one card from 44 cards for my first meditation/visualization wasn't easy... until, I stepped aside and allowed the Crystal Oversouls to choose one for me.
Each card in the deck is aligned with one element (air, earth, ether, fire, star, or water). Chrysocolla aligns with water... as a Scorpio with a natal chart saturated with water I immediately knew how I might spiritually be drawn to this crystal and card. Also, I am currently the caretaker (you can never truly own a gemstone or crystal) of a chrysocolla egg-shaped crystal. It is one of a small collection of egg crystals. Individually, each represents a child or grandchild. My crystal egg-babies are nestled inside an abalone shell symbolizing my current status as an empty-nester and crone grandmother.
The chrysocolla is the first crystal egg that came to me. It was a gift from a dear friend who acquired it in India during one of his travels. Coincidentally, when my oldest son attended college he studied for a semester in Jodhpur, India. Thus, my empty-nest crystal collection was birthed. I now have seven crystal eggs in my collection. The first three serve as representatives of the children I birthed, two others represent a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law. A sixth crystal egg was added to the collection when my grandson was born in 2008. Most recently, a rose quartz egg was added in celebration of the birth of my first granddaughter.
The Chrysocolla Attunement Card is numbered 26. The synchronicity of this is that my son was born on the 26th of November. I cupped the smoothly-polished crystal egg inside the palm of my right hand along with the card in hand (see picture). I felt the coldness of the turquoise egg quickly heat up as I grasped it firmly. I allowed my eye lids to lower slightly and my eyes soften as I focused on the chrysocolla mandala printed on the card. I am visually-oriented and enjoy meditating while focusing on imagery for intuitive purposes. Chrysocolla's purpose is vulnerability so I prepared myself to enter a doorway that would open me up to my true emotions.
I Felt Overwhelming Joy
I allowed myself to sink into the art imagery on the card. With my son's egg snugly tucked inside the grasp of my hand, my thoughts drifted to thoughts of my firstborn, remembering the morning he was born. Memories of being pregnant, giving birth, becoming a new mother, and holding him in my arms for the first time flooded my heart. As I focused on the eight crystal points on the mandala my sight blurred a bit as I watched the images come alive and dance, I felt joy.I Also Felt Waves of Sadness
My joyful elation from memories of my son's birth faded away as more somber memories of a man from my past began to surface. On the previous day I had attended his funeral. I dated him for about nine months in my early thirties. Before this week I have not experienced someone I had known intimately dying. My feelings of loss at his departure from this world is new and strange to me, you might imagine that my emotions would be all over the place. Meditating with the chrysocolla allowed me to delve into those raw and foreign feelings. My meditative state allowed me a safe space to experience the ebb and flow of energy as I attempted to sort out my feelings. Waves of sadness were eventually taken over by feelings of gratitude and solace.He was not a perfect man, nor I a perfect woman... together we were a bit of a tangled mess, oh, but what a wild and crazy roller coaster ride we had for a short while. This man had his share of vulnerabilities, yet he was not afraid to show them. This characteristic of his personality was his greatest gift to me. He was passionately in-tune with his feelings and was never shy about sharing how he felt with me and others. He freely expressed his emotions, good or bad, always! As I sat in silence with a crystal healer as my aid I soaked up more glimpses from our past relationship, recalling that I was paired with this man during a vulnerable time in my life. I am now realizing how much our shared time together taught me about myself and how I deal with and express my own emotions. For this lesson I am grateful to him both as a person and a fellow spirit traveler. I appreciate him for the role he played in teaching me and touching my life. R.I.P. Dan
Emotional Rebirth
As I'm writing this, it seems curious to me that the son I carried for nine months in my womb and a man I dated for a period of nine months both surfaced in my crystal therapy session. Interesting tidbit, perhaps nothing more. Still, it makes me wonder if my chrysocolla crystal attunement was a rebirthing experience for me in some way.Tapping into Your Emotional Side
If you are feeling stuck emotionally a chrysocolla attunement could be the appropriate energy to awaken or reawaken a memory that requires your attention or quiet reflection. Chrysocolla can help open a clogged throat chakra, allowing you to more freely express yourself.I hope to have more crystal therapy sessions using the Crystal Oversoul Attunement Healing Cards.
