Carnelian, the stone of action, activation and joy.  And what better way is there to move ahead other than from a place of joy?   Traditionally associated with the second chakra, Carnelian’s energies are empowering and uplifting at the same time.  When we are ready to step out and let the road rise up to meet us, Carnelian’s energies will “en-courage” us and connect us to our inner motivation.  This crystal can help you move out of your comfort zone and fulfill your commitments.  This includes your commitment to honor yourself, to complete what is at hand or to shift gears towards your next level. 

Tumbled Carnelians, readily available, may encompass swirls of darker grounding energies that imbue a sense of being rooted.   The brighter orange hues usher in the joy and excitement we experience at the second chakra, helping us to bring our creative force into expression.    Our beloved avatar, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, is so often seen wearing an orange robe, bringing  joy and healing energies of unification to the planet.  When feeling tired or listless, Carnelian delivers an energizing  sense of purpose and direction, lifting the spirit and helping you to open up to new possibilities. Its energies are smooth, not jarring, and very pleasing.

So whether your focus is creation or procreation, Carnelian is comforting, motivating and very healing.  It is an important member of your crystal collection.

From the palest pink to deeper and lavendar tones, it ushers in a sense of Peace and a beautiful connection to All That Is within the Universe.  It consoles and soothes the heart and offers recalibration where wounds and emotional pain have constrained inner balance and harmony.  If in doubt, on any count, Rose Quartz is the answer.

When held or worn, it brings about that deep exhale of release and acceptance.  It ushers in forgiveness of self and others.  As one of the five major quartz crystals, it teaches self-love.  It is the stone of choice for children – of all ages.  When choosing a piece of Rose Quartz, it may be opaque, translucent or quite clear, but in all cases it is the pre-eminent stone for the heart.  It is “crystalline nectar of the gods” for the heart.

Greetings Beloveds,

It is always a pleasure for me to be able to connect with you.  Take some time to “smell the roses” and sit quietly with yourself in these warmer days.  The inner sorting out that you can accomplish when you are still will set you up for the busier days ahead.  It matters not if the odd cloud or two passes overhead and shades your view intermittently.  It will soon be quite apparent what adjustments need to occur, what your creations will be, what dreams you want to manifest.  The energies of these times in which you find yourselves are powerful and cleansing.  Let the oars rest in the pegs and float in that row boat.  The current will take you where you need to go.

Love is flourishing in Nature.  Be at peace with every form, the fashioning of every flower that you see, for it is for YOU.  It is created for YOU.  Let the Magic of Summer recharge you, let the transformative power of Mother Nature permeate your being.  It is the Love of the Creator “at play” for YOU.  Do not believe in lack or negativity.  Place your thoughts on beauty and your truth.  Let your inner barometer monitor the ups and downs of life dispassionately, with detachment.  Everything is evolving according to the Divine Plan.  Patience, patience.  You may call upon me to help you over the hurdles.  Then rest.

In Loving Service, Master Merlin

Found in an array of green colors, serpentine often carries splashes of purple stichtite, and then may be called Atlantisite.  It helps you access the ancient and timeless wisdom which is everpresent now.  It helps you shed the old fears while you step into the new you.  It is powerful and gentle at the same time, like the feminine energy that bathes the heart and encourages you to step forward in love.   It is a stone to assist kundalini awakening and its energies help with the energy alignment in the spine.

Serpentine also connects you to the etheric realms where nature spirits may be contacted to assist you with your personal evolution.  On a physical level, serpentine helps to heal skin ailments and gives a sense of general wellbeing and strength.  It is an enlivening gift of Mother Nature and a messenger of peace … ssssssssssssssss.

This prized stone bespeaks amulets, charms and jewelry.  It is to be worn and held for its curative energies and for balance and harmony.  While it is readily available today, it has been worn and carried by shamans and priests not only in the United States and South America, but also in Egypt, Russia and China throughout time.  Its vibrant green and turquoise coloration is a gift from Mother Earth to assist the balancing of our being with All That Is.

The blue/green rays that this gemstone manifests, are for the balancing of the throat and heart chakras respectively.  Turquoise facilitates an easing of expression from the throat in alignment with the feelings of the heart, and vice versa.  In other words, it helps you to speak your truth and mean what you say.

Wearing turquoise brings a sense of wellness, a brightness and a connection to Mother Earth.  Healing practices have long included the use of this stone.  It is the perfect stone for lightworkers to wear on a daily basis to connect to their truth and to be present in the NOW.

All of Mother Earth’s creations are for you to enjoy.  Observance and respect for all living things, whether seemingly animate or inaminate, will accelerate your connection to the Universality of All Things.  Take a moment to smell the roses, talk to a tree or play with the animals.  You have been provided a smorgasboard of wonders.  Do not take them for granted, rather allow your resonance with them to connect you to the Divine.  The more you embrace the Divine presence of All Things, the more you will find that you can love yourself.  For are you not wondrously made?  Love is the common thread of the Universe.  Without it nothing is.  You are Love.

This is a time for new things: new ideas, new love, new peace, new joy.  Let go of the past now and move forward with delight in the knowledge that you are the one you have been waiting for, you are the bridge between heaven and earth, you are the light.  Step up into your destiny now and be the truth of who you are.  Know from deep within that All is in Divine Right Order and nothing shall be withheld from those who are One with the Divine.  Be about your Father and Mother’s business.

I AM Eternally yours in Service to the Light,
Master Merlin

Black Obsidian is like a truth serum.  Some would advise to keep it covered under a cloth of black velvet, but I like to keep mine clearly visible and available, a constant reminder to walk and talk one’s truth in integrity.  It is extremely beneficial to hold it while looking within at oneself.

The Golden Sheen rings of pyrite appear like the rings encircling a planet, showing us that there is a golden energy in the darkness.  Therein lies this crystal’s use for scrying and divination, particularly in the form of a highly-polished, flat Obsidian mirror in the moonlight.  Black Obsidian also helps one to be grounded and to expand one’s psychic ability.  Be gentle with it, however, for it will shatter if dropped.

Lapis Lazuli, a powerful  meditation stone for the third eye, facilitates your seeing yourself beyond physical limitations, as a spiritual being.  Prized for its color and vibrancy, and worn by kings and queens of Egypt, lapis lazuli is the perfect talisman to carry as a reminder that you are the ruler of your own kingdom, both inner and outer.   It is a protector of the self, for it is in knowing the truth that you are freed from psychic attack, judgment and self depreciation.  Lapis Lazuli can bring you to the power of you, aligned above and below.  Its pyrite inclusions give you the courage to stand your ground and be yourself.

It is so important at this time of Ascension to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that your divine presence upon the planet is ordained.  It is not an accident that you are reading this!  Allow this truth to lift your spirits and go beyond wishful thinking to an acceptance of the Light that is YOU.  The vibration of Golden Citrine carries with it a strength of purpose that defies negativity, and Rainbow Lemon Citrine, in particular, combines this with a brilliance and liveliness that can clear your aura and chakras and align your Will of the solar plexus with Divine Will.  It clears away emotional debris and, when worn on a regular basis, maintains the brightness of your energetic system and wellbeing.  You can trust it as your talisman.  Put it out around your home and workplace, especially where arguments may have erupted.  Break through the clutter of conditioned thinking and repetitious patterning by placing this crystal wherever you choose to meditate and focus your intention.  Its brightness pushes negativity aside and does not hold onto it.

Hold Rainbow Lemon Citrine in your hands and rub and activate it with your fingers.  As you blend your energies with this royal stone, know that our shared Kingdom of the Universe offers every one of us the abundance that is our rightful inheritance.  Rainbow Lemon Citrine, with its gleaming rainbows and inclusions, shows us at a glance that there is a bright future ahead and you can participate and share in All That Is.  You can take this literally to your spiritual bank!  With this awareness you can set your intention to manifest, not only material wealth, but to raise your level of vibration to enable yourself to move out of any negative and stagnant situation and create a new, brighter world for yourself on all levels.  You are what you think you are and energy follows thought and intent.

This is a plentiful crystal from China.  The rainbows form a bridge for you to see the Light of Truth.  The Light of Source is reflected throughout the Universe and is held in this crystal.  Keep Rainbow Lemon Citrine close to your physical being to strengthen it.  Place it in a clearly visible place in your environment and henceforth choose to see the glass as being half-full, not half-empty.  Let the radiance of Rainbow Lemon Citrine assist you to optimize your own talents and abilities to manifest your dreams without negativity and hindrance.
