“Sunstone brings a sense of freedom, fun, and adventure into your life, relationships, and creative pursuits. It burns through lower feeling states that keep you from being who you really are. Sunstone helps you shine and radiate your gifts into the world!” ~A Goff

Can you believe that half of the year is already gone, and summertime is basically here? The summer solstice is right around the corner, on June 21st. It marks the longest day of the year, a time when we are at maximum light. The progress of the sun throughout the year represents our journey of achieving enlightenment, and so we are at the peak on this day. It is a time when light triumphs over dark, a time for us to focus on ascension, integration, and wholeness. So make time to celebrate your conscious awakening on the solstice! The summer solstice is ideal for honoring and connecting with the Divine Masculine, which is represented by solar energies. The Divine Masculine is the part of yourself that makes things happen in your physical reality. It’s about strength, structure, right action, walking your talk, and shining your light and gifts into the world with confidence. Summer is also a time for your sacral chakra to sizzle with passion, desire, and sensuality. The sun heats things up in the love and creativity departments. And finally, summer is also known as a time of “life in full bloom.” This is a time of picnics, fireworks, social gatherings, vacations, and general fun and celebration. It is more about basking in all of the good spiritual work you have done in the past year rather than starting new projects or going in new directions. I want to share with you six crystals that can help you connect with these energetic themes of summertime, along with a crystal layout you can do with them to help you brightly shine your light.

Rutilated Quartz

Rutile is a titanium oxide crystal that looks like brown, gold, silver, or red needles. When we find Rutile inside of amplifying Quartz, it creates the effect of antennas or channels of connection to various multidimensional realms, beings, or potential timelines. It delivers these higher energy streams into the etheric, third eye, and crown chakras, and it also assists with grounding these frequencies into the cells. This helps with spiritual activation and enhancement of psychic gifts, especially relating to channeling, meditation, and healing. The Rutile also helps us to connect with the Earth grids. This enables us to flow the higher energies down into the planet and to also receive nourishing and grounding Earth energies. Rutilated Quartz is a powerful manifestation stone, assisting us to pull in the potential reality that is best for us. It is also a vibrational healer that cleanses and vitalizes the aura and removes negative energy. It releases blockages to spiritual growth and past traumas. Rutilated Quartz guards against psychic attack, and it helps relieve anxiety, depression, fears, and other energetic constrictions. It is a perfect choice for assisting us in the areas of ascension, integration, and enlightenment. Continue reading →
