Muscovite - Balance, Clarity, Relief
✨🔮
Have you ever walked into your local metaphysical store and wondered: what do all these crystals mean and why do they represent these things? And, who says?
Here at Crystal Blue, I can relate to such musings. I considered myself a crystal connoisseur for years before I was given the opportunity to run this shop, and within the first week I realized how little I actually knew. I am happy to share with you my findings, conclusions, creations and perspectives - as well as a little insight into the nature of Metaphysics.
Metaphysics
One of my favorite authors, Matt Acutt, who wrote Datalogical Metaphysical Theory, brings an excellent perspective when he states: "One of the most important real-life applications of metaphysics involves a concerted effort to contrive co-ordination between oneself and the rest of reality."
We are all trying to make sense of ourselves and the world. Some find religion, some find logic, and some find crystals.
For centuries, natures inspiration has been a guide for many healers. It can be challenging in today's modern world to bridge the disconnect between metaphysics and natural science. Before we had scientific understanding of the world around us, we had our own interpretation. And for years, that worked. It wasn't until the late nineteenth century that science as we know it today came to be. Today science can seem like it is the enemy of metaphysics. But what if they could be friends? I think that they can, and here's why:
Intentions are powerful. Crystals and rocks influence our mental state simply through the act of bringing a concept to the forefront of our minds. Science agrees with me when I say that what we think directly influences our moods and behaviors. With the right crystal, you can direct the energy of your life.
Muscovite
Balance - Clarity - Relief
Muscovite is an earthy stone that gives the impression of fragility when handled. It's part of the Mica family, which is characterized by a crystal structure consisting of aluminum silicate sheets weakly bound together by layers of positive ions. I think it's Muscovites fragile nature that gives it the gentle ability to bring clarity to a persons life. When holding it, pieces often fall off, representing the shedding of old ideas that no longer serve us.
Muscovite is known to encourage enlightenment about your past experiences. The reflective nature of the stones layers gives us many small mirrors in which we may self-examine our experiences, reactions, thoughts, feelings, and resulting behavior patterns.
The relief of understanding our past and creating new direction for our lives is huge.
Muscovite is a powerful stone that relates to the crown chakra and third eye chakra, both of which are known to encourage us to look at our connection to the divine essence of reality.
There are many ways to incorporate crystal healing into your daily life. My personal favorite involves placing the crystal somewhere in my home, office or car. I like to put it somewhere I will see it every day. When I choose it's location, I don't think too much about it. I take a deep breath, feel into my body, and when the location is right, I get a sense of connectedness that radiates from my chest in an outward motion. In other words, when it is in the right place, I feel at ease.
A note from Irene:
I believe every person experiences crystals a little differently, and that there is no right or wrong way to use them to enhance your life. I love meeting each person that comes into our shop and helping them find a tailored solution to their needs. As with most things in life, it's about the journey, not the destination. Crystal healing is a constant learning ground for me. I maintain an open mind and open heart, and let the journey unfold as it may 💟
