“Spectacular! Spectacular!
In words of the vernacular!”
~ From the movie Moulin Rouge

Rainbow Hematite, with its rainbow spectrum of colors, is a wonderful crystal for the aura, all the chakras and for grounding. Its natural composition is unlike that of its silvery grey cousin that has a hardness and reflective, silvery sheen. Rainbow Hematite is brittle and more fragile.  It is not always readily available and thus its possession is to be prized and its handling needs be gentle.

The smallest piece has oversize benefits to be gleaned from holding and layouts on the body.  Its energies are grounding but so enlivening at the same time.  It is like an aurora borealis sky that shifts and moves through your subtle body to activate and raise your vibration. It grounds in the awareness that you are so much more than you think you are.  And indeed, it is a great reminder that your energetic form is one of light and color and worthy of your regular consideration, treatment and expansion.

Rainbow Hematite lifts you out of the doldrums and infuses you with the abundance of the universe. It brings to your awareness that your walk on Earth is a joyous gift and when placed on the feet it brings about an acceptance of your journey onwards and upwards. With Rainbow Hematite you may go forth and enjoy your life on our bountiful planet.

Beloveds,

A New Year is beginning, yet another extraordinary opportunity to find the truth of you and to be more of who you are destined to be. Magic and wizardry applied to Self is your pathway to evolution in this auspicious year in the history of Mother Earth and mankind. New levels of Self Mastery await your discovery, your embrace and application.

For the many who sleep, the turn of this year is but another repetition of what has gone before. But for those of you who have awakened to the “Beginning Times” of this new cycle and age, multiple thresholds may be transversed, thresholds to higher levels of awareness, to expanded levels of connectedness within the Universe and to Universal energies that are the building blocks of the future.

No more cries, woes, doubts and fears; dare to step into a new chapter of Mother Earth’s history as a Co-Creator with other denizens of the Universe. Since the turn of this century, messages of exhortation, encouragement and enlivening have been permeating mass consciousness and many messengers have borne these tidings to those with ears to hear. Now you may bear the inscrutable smile of the Mona Lisa, knowing that you have the wisdom, the tools and the Divine guidance you require to bring you forward.

December 21st, 2012 marks not only the transition of the ages, but also your transition as a way-shower to lead humanity out of the dark times of old into the brilliant New Golden Age, The New Camelot. NOW IS THE TIME to put the past behind you and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are standing at the appointed hour, to be a conduit between heaven and earth. Move past faith into trust of the unfolding of the Divine Plan at this time.

Ascension belongs not to one man in time. The bell tolls for thee to step into the center of your own heart-light, to acknowledge to yourself what lies on the inside of you.  It does not serve you to hide, procrastinate or play small.  We, the Ascended Masters support you, applaud your efforts and relay back to you your intentions amplified for manifestation. We can take in all you have to say. We are an inexhaustible resource of the Creator serving humanity at this time.

As you enter this new 26,000 year cycle, you are paving the way for generations to come to benefit from this period of accelerated expansion and to shift into Divine Love. You are filling the breach in linear time to enable humanity’s leap into the New Golden Age.  Be Unconditional Love for yourself first, then outward to the world.  Manifest without your hard-won alchemy from within.

Your Obedient Servant,
Master Merlin

These two beautiful crystals are often found growing side by side.  While their structure and coloration are different, they work synergistically for a shared purpose.

Dark or electric blue Azurite, the Stone of Heaven, appears to have its layers deeply bonded together.  It is a stone of meditation and communication and for deep inner knowing. Azurite may be placed on the third eye or held for an accceleration of knowing the self and accessing one’s psychic abilities. Its powerful energies align you with your Higher Self and work through the spine, aligning the chakras. Azurite has a density and strong connection to Mother Earth and at the same time it helps the bearer to open up to energies from above. It has long been prized by the Ancient Egyptians and the American Indians for the insights it may bring in the form of talismans and jewelry. It helps you to blend the subconscious with the conscious mind, revealing more of the truth that is you. 

Azurite, in your deepest blue,
Show me of myself what is true.

Beware of wearing Malachite, it is said.  This green stone, the Stone of Transformation, with its dark-eyed inclusions within its green, black and white swirls and striations, may be the stone to bring up your issues, perhaps the suppressed emotions that have overflowed from your heart and are now resting in your solar plexus, your sensitive spot. It will assist you to recognize negative patterns and experiences and to be comfortable in changing situations. Malachite will soothe the heart and give you insight into what is preventing you from coming forward.

Malachite, Malachite, Stone of Green,
Show me what will not be seen!

Together Azurite and Malachite will work to increase your awareness of Self and shift those lingering densities that no longer serve you.

Whether you were seated at home or attending a community gathering, this Triple Stargate at 11:11 am or 11:11 pm, November 11, 2011, offers you the opportunity to be the link across the ages, between heaven and earth and most importantly, just to be. But think not that this is limited to a moment.  It is an acceleration point to enable the outpouring of Love from the Creator to register in the heart of humanity, for you to expand beyond the past, its lessons and memories. It is a time to step into the mastery signified by the number 11, to be in the center of your circle, your universe, a blending of masculine and feminine within the Self: one meeting one and being One.

That is your journey, your mission, both inward and outward.  To stand alongside the Shining Ones of Immortality, to become Masters, Wizards, Crystalline Beings of Light, to hold the balance, not as an intellectual exercise but because it is the diamond radiation in your heart, your brilliant core of Divinity. Own and embrace all qualities within the Self, as encoded within your DNA. No-one is greater or lesser than yourself.  You are the Shining Ones of Now, the Wayshowers, the Flame Holders, the Ones showing the way for humanity. From the core of the Earth to the Great Central Sun, all is well, all is unfolding according to the Divine Plan.

Shine your light to loved ones, family, community, friends, your nation and around the globe to ground this light for All Life Forms.  Connect to the stars, to Mother Earth, to sacred sites, to the crystal in your hand.  Your Love, intention and thoughts are paving the way for the creation of a New World for All.  The shift of the heart to Unconditional Love is the essence of The New Camelot, the New Golden Age and the New Paradigm for Planet Earth.

With Infinite Love to YOU
Master Merlin

We are uncovering around the world “new” or “New Age” crystals at this time of Ascension of Mother Earth.  While we may look and declare “This is something new!” ancient wisdom has taught us “there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).  Over millennia, even millions of years, certain combinations of elements have been forged together to form brilliant, colorful and unique crystals that are coming to the fore NOW.  It is truly a wonder that not only has Mother Nature forged their creation and they have been unearthed, but their vibration is for our use in today’s world. These discoveries enlighten us to the timing of the Divine Plan and the part we play within it.

Ancient crystals help us to grasp the concept that time is an illusion.  In linear fashion, we may conclude that “x” number of years were necessary for crystal creation, however their intrinsic properties and qualities were already in place before they were forged.  As above, so below. The consciousness that each crystal offers us is already infused into its matter.  We just have to   follow our instinct to discern the greater abundance and good they offer us. This a miracle of Divine Timing and, of course, this principle applies universally throughout our lives: we get what we need (not necessarily what we want), when we need it and when we are ready for it, not before. Opportunity and readiness must intersect.

Such a synchronicity happened recently for me. I have been digging further into the balancing of masculine and feminine energies, a focus of interest which I have been sharing in workshops of late. I was seeking a crystalline vibration that could assist this process, knowing that many other combinations of crystals could do the job.  However I sensed there was something more specifically oriented to handle the task.  As I was calling its presence forth, I discovered that a particular crystal had been discovered in 2006. Nirvana Quartz, as it has been named, has been found in the Himalayas as the glaciers melt.

Global warming has, no doubt, had an impact on the retreat of the glaciers in mountainous regions around the world and we are concerned about the acceleration of their melting, their impact on rising sea levels and the reduction of fresh water supplies. We have to own up to our culpability in this regard and learn how to ameliorate our methods of sustaining life utilizing what Mother Earth provides. Yet amid such awareness, is it not remarkable that there is a silver lining shining forth from the melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas: namely Nirvana Quartz (among other crystals)? While the discovery of an individual crystal may seem small or insignificant from a human perspective against such a vast earthly change, I can draw but one conclusion: out of drastic change something good may come. The vibration of Mother Earth holds within her being all that is required for her and our Ascension process.

Thus as I sit holding my Nirvana Quartz, “pink” for the heart and “white” for the mind, I am reminded of our need during this time of transition to recognize and activate the masculine and feminine powers of initiation and manifestation respectively within ourselves. To make loving, rational choices for the benefit of all; this is the message of Nirvana Quartz.  The universe itself has already exhibited these principles through the formation of Nirvana Quartz created aeons ago. We may know that even greater discoveries await our awakening to their presence and essence.  It is a matter of when our consciousness intersects with Divine Consciousness.  We are drawing closer, catching up to what is already there and in place for us.  The past and future intersect for us in the NOW through Nivana Quartz, breaking the illusion of time.

I like to call Peacock Ore, also known as Bornite or Chalcopyrite, “Peacock Rock”.  Its iridescent blue, red and purple colors shimmer and fascinate and are very enlivening.  The intrinsic component of copper makes it a great conductor of energy and a great activator for the aura and all the chakras.  Combined with its brilliance, it is known as the “Happy Stone”.

So named after the showy tail feathers displayed by the male peacock, Peacock Rock is an “attention getter”.  It will capture your attention away from negative factors and aspects of being that hold you back and are ready to be released.  Let its energies replace those that are negative and let it shift you into a place of inner brightness and joy. When holding the stone in meditation, circulate the energies from above your crown, down through your chakras, into Mother Earth and back up to your crown again.

Of particular note is that the peacock has long been associated with the Avatars, often illustrated accompanying Krishna and other “blue beings”. With its eye-covered tail feathers that are treasured for their beauty and value, it has been said that the peacock is a reminder, when gazing upon the Avatar, to be conscious of puffed-up pride and its pitfalls. Let the electric blue emanation of Peacock Ore clear, cleanse and energize you.

Peacock Rock, like the Avatars, says:

  “Let my light shine in your dark places. I am bursting with color and life.”

LIke other jaspers, mookite projects a steadying and balancing influence, revitalizing your base and foundation and stirring enthusiasm for the work ahead. Mookite helps you to make a choice in order to come forward. It is like a trustworthy friend who gives support and a harmonizing balance; simply put, its pleasing energy makes you feel good.

Mookite is a great chakra balancer with its variety of coloration, particularly from the third eye, heart, solar plexus down to the 1st and 2nd chakras. Its attribute of calm is a powerful ally in meditation and crystal healing therapy.  It is a masterful and multi-functional stone for your bastion of healing tools.

The Statue of Liberty, the torch-bearer who stands at the mouth of New York City’s harbor, is the symbol of Freedom celebrated on your 4th of July celebration.  The Goddess of Liberty is ready to kindle the flame in your heart, to light the way to your personal freedom.  You may be thinking in terms of freedom from war, hate and all manner of negative ills, but we, the Ascended Masters would rather direct you to consider the Freedom to be, to love, to create, to serve, to assist humanity and to discover and speak the Truth of who you are.

Freedom paves the way of the Goddess within to manifest what lies in your heart, your consciousness and at your feet. It is through Unconditional Love that you may surrender to how and where you are led; follow your guidance to your destiny.  At this time of Ascension, the rebalancing and harmonization of all life forms on Earth, you are the ones who may now step out of the old confines that have held you back.  What do you have percolating on your back burner of ideas and dreams that you would like to bring to light?  Fear, doubt, self judgment and self criticism are dispersed by the manifestation of Goddess Liberty’s  energies through you.  What a wonderful time it is for you to step out into the new paradigm of existence on Earth, as described in Merlin and The New Camelot: the Birth of Collective Christ Consciousness.

I AM with you, and the assembled company of the Great White Brotherhood exhort you to remember:

You are Free; you are free!

Your Obedient Servant,
Master Merlin

The shimmering aluminum silicate found within Kyanite gives it a “heavenly” quality.  Its sky-blue radiance aligns it with celestial energies and the higher vibrations to which we are attuning for this period of Ascension.  Most importantly, Kyanite cannot hold negative energy and for this reason it is the perfect tool for use with the higher chakras.

The blade formations of Kyanite make it a wonderful took for cutting through negative energies and illusion.  The blades may be held in the hand and used to clear the chakras and the aura, or they be placed on the body between the chakras to activate and align the energies between the chakras.  Kyanite is an energy shifter and an attunement tool.

Blue Kyanite also fufills a unique role in that it may be placed on the top of the head behind the crown and down towards the back of the head, i.e. at the Causal Chakra.   Here it may activate the energies of the Rainbow Bridge reaching from the Medula Oblongata at the top of the spine across to the Third Eye.    This bridging assists the inner understanding and alignment within the Self of those aspects of being that may be disparate.  Thus Blue Kyanite brings clarity and comprehension of Self within one’s consciousness.  It also helps one to understand one’s dreams.

Blue Kyanite is a wonderful crystal to clear and balance the throat chakra, to facilitate a deeper understanding and expression of the Self.  It assists one’s connection to the angelic realms and to opening the channels of Divine guidance beyond three-dimensional thinking and limitation; it is a psychic enhancer.
