Amethyst and the Path to Divine Purpose
The beauty of Amethyst is enchanting for many people. Its shade of purple is stunning, and healers and crystal lovers alike value its broad accessibility. This mineral comes out of the Earth in abundance. One can find amethyst in jewelry, carvings, specimen pieces, sculptures and at every gem and mineral store.
While people gravitate toward it for its beautiful purple hue, it is genuinely an excellent stone for awakening.
Tools for the Seeker
Amethyst connects the user to Source and to the Higher Self. It guides our true identity and divine purpose, guiding us down the right path.
Amethyst is truly a stone for spiritual attunement. A person who is awakening to the potential of working with spirituality and to opening up to their intuition and self-awareness will find Amethyst an essential tool to have in the esoteric toolbox. This stone is essential for anyone who realizes (or is beginning to feel) their soul is more extensive than they have yet to understand.
Using Amethyst for spiritual attunement means fulfilling the need to feel we are in alignment with our higher selves and our divine life purpose. When people start to do this, there may be a sensation of feeling lost or questioning one’s identity and reason for being here. I have experienced these feelings as well, since doing this work, to some degree, for my entire life. When I began working with Amethyst and other crystals, they helped align me with who I am. They showed me where I needed to be, where I am going and why I am here.
Relationships with others and the Self are affected by our ability to work through our experiences and feelings. By developing intuition, one notices a sense of wholeness as the subtle bodies integrate. Amethyst not only helps you do this but it will guide you toward a fuller and deeper path of recognizing your true potential.
The Purple Crown
Amethyst is powerful in aligning and opening the Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head. This is considered your spiritual chakra. In visions, I have seen this chakra exist between the physical and etheric realms. Amethyst opens the flow of energy from that spiritual center. It shows and opens you up to what’s above you and then integrates what is below the Crown Chakra in the physical body. Amethyst may even be grounding for certain people in this way.
Working with Amethyst is easy. Wear it, carry it, meditate with it or sleep with it under your pillow or by the bed. I prefer to meditate rather than sleep with this crystal as it feels more comfortable. It is essential to find what method works best for you. Amethyst is great to place around the house! Put a piece in every room.
Keep in mind that Amethyst needs cleaning, so remember to clear your stone from time to time to keep the energy bright and fresh. Also, remember to keep Amethyst out of direct sunlight, as this will cause its purple color to fade.
