Pink Tourmaline (also known as Rubellite) is a relatively rare form of Tourmaline.  Tourmaline’s wide range of colours have intrigued people for centuries. In ancient Egypt, legend had it that tourmaline acquired its many colours by travelling along a rainbow in a journey from the earth to the sun. Other civilizations believed tourmaline could help one become more artistic and aesthetically inclined.  A stone of the Heart, it works beautifully for protection and balance.

We have explored Tourmaline itself.. but this beautiful pink form of Tourmaline is truly breathtaking.  With a similar log-like formation, Pink Tourmaline may be purchased rough or tumbled.  Due to its availability, it is usually mixed with another form of crystal or rock.  The photographs I’m showing you today, are of a piece here at the Studio.  Beautiful pink striations mixed with Quartz Crystal.  The pink can be from a candy pink through to a pastel barely-there pink.

 

Metaphysical Properties

Tourmaline, as a crystal group, is a natural seeker, energising and protector.  One crystal worker actually refers to Pink Tourmaline as The Guard Dog.  You may work with this crystal for any healing or empowering purpose designed to align, expand and re-energise.  They enhance the natural journey and remind you that you are both student and teacher all in one.

Pink tourmaline focuses and amplifies the Universal Life Force and the energy required to accomplish goals. They provide energy for our efforts to gain what we seek, enhance our lives, protect what we value and defend us from undesirable elements.

Tourmaline is a shamanic stone, providing protection during ritual work.  It has been used by many different cultures across the world, including the Australian Indigenous people.

Pink tourmaline therefore brings cognitive awareness and experience of Universal Love. To do so, it cleanses the mind, body and soul through the heart chakra.  It infuses love and a rememberance of connection.  Through this ability, it stimulates your receptivity to healing energy and the Wisdom of Spirit.

If you, or a person you are working with, has difficulty accessing their Life Purpose or Purpose of Service, Pink Tourmaline has the ability to clear issues, develop awareness and strengthen trust in the ways of Spirit.

 

Personal Healing

Pink tourmaline:

  • ·        Assists with physical balance – especially for reducing falls across all ages
  • ·        Releases stress, worries, depression and anxiety. It can be used in partnership with Black Tourmaline to diffuse obsessive behavior.
  • ·       Provides comfort to those who have suffered any form of abuse
  • ·       helps with sleep issues
  • ·        Develops an awareness of consequences
  • ·       Calms and soothes the heart, assisting with angina, irregular heartbeat and recovery from heart attack.
  • ·       Regulates the menstrual cycle to make conception easier.
  • ·       Eases the transition from childhood to puberty.
  • ·       Assists spinal problems or injuries, the nervous system, neuralgia and migraines.
  • ·       Balances the endocrine system, lung function and skin
  • ·       Releases destructive and self-sabotaging feelings such as guilty, worry, depression and anxiety.
  • ·       Renews the joy of life by stimulating happiness, joy, peace and calm.
  • ·       especially beneficial to those whose physical body has already manifested that pain into diseases or chronic illnesses.

Earth Healing

For healing grids and earth healing purposes, Pink Tourmaline can be considered as a Crystal Aphrodisiac.  It strengthens love.  However, the main purpose of Pink Tourmaline in earth or even Karmic healing is its ability to return unbalanced energy back to the sender – however it is not in its original form, it is sent back transformed, reversesed, enlightened as a beneficial energy of change.  Think of it as putting up the “Talk to the hand” energy – sending it back, lighter, brighter and stronger so the sender feels the desire to change their actions, thoughts and words.  Pretty powerful stuff!

When used in grids and for earth healing, Pink Tourmaline reminds the Elemental Energy of its true alignment and purpose.  It brings fertility and abundance naturally into balance – Just like the energy of Mother Earth herself.

Speaking of Mother Energy, during my research I discovered Pink Tourmaline aligns with the pre-Islamic Arabian goddess – Al-Uzza.  She is the ruler of fertility and wild beasts. Al-Uzza also has power over astrology and the changing of the seasons because she was believed to be the morning and evening star, Venus.   As Goddess of the Sea she is the guardian of fish and dolphins. She also was the protector of fishermen and sea travellers. Sounds like Aphrodite and Venus, yes?

Magickal Intention

This chant may be repreated to blend and utilise the energy of Pink Tourmaline.  “Balancing Pink Tourmaline, Clearing blockages seen and unseen.”

 

In summary, Pink Tourmaline is beneficial for:

 

  • ·        Heart and Base Chakra healing
  • ·        healing holes in the aura caused by abuse, grief and loss
  • ·        balancing emotions from the Higher Heart Chakra
  • ·        creating a loving foundation within relationships, projects and businesses
  • ·        remembering your connection with The Divine
  • ·        removing self-sabotaging patterns of behaviour
  • ·        sending unbalanced energy back to the sender

Correspondences
Primary Chakra: Heart

Elemental Association: Water

Astrological sign(s): Libra

Vibration: 7 – The Truth Seeker: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating.

 

Fun Fact:  
One of Tourmaline’s most distinguishing properties is its ability to become electrically charged simply by heating or rubbing it. When charged, one end becomes positive and the other negative, allowing it to attract particles of dust or bits of paper.

 

Please note: Note that healing crystal meanings are spiritual supports to healing and are not prescriptions or healthcare information.  Always use them in conjunction with conventional medical treatment.

Leo Full Moon Healing

by

Leo Full MoonThe Full Moon reaches its zenith in Australia, UK, Asia, New Zealand and Europe on Sunday, 27th January and Saturday 26th January in America – Let’s look to the Moon, the Stars and the Tarot to learn more about the Leo Full Moon…It’s time to feed our inner Lion!

Leo Moon shine your light

Spark my soul

With Creative Delight

Align my vision

With all I see

Infinite as I truly be.

The sign of Leo is signified by the Strength card in the Tarot Deck.  Within this card you will see the physical power of the lion calmed by its calm conscious mistress, The Young Maiden.  This connection of two differing forces indicates a meeting and blending to create your own personal power.  When we stand in the energy of the Leo Full Moon, we call on our inner courage, vitality, determination and diligence while tempering this primal force with our universal consciousness, intuition and wisdom.

By using both aspects in a positive way, we can harness the raw energy of creation, set our course and proceed with self-confidence in knowing we are demonstrating our own integrity.

You may notice during this Full Moon period, a need for control, power, being obstinate or arrogant.   Intolerance and insensitivity may come to the fore through outburst of emotion.  Strive for balance this Full Moon – standing in your truth while being sensitive and diplomatic!

Working with the energy of the Leo Full Moon – so, what can you do to help?

Leo energises self-empowerment and leadership – now is a brilliant time to be refocusing on your resolutions, goals, projects and making the CHOICE to move forward! Create a vision board (if you haven’t already done so), make a plan and follow it!

Ask yourself and contemplate on these questions: Who do I want to be in this amazing time of possibility? Who do I want to be for myself, my family, my friends and my community?

Reflect on your relationship with your mother, being a mother or wishing to be a mother.  Leo is associated with fertility and birth – you may also find yourself with a rampant sex drive.  If you are in a physical relationship – have some fun!  If not, this is an opportune time to visualise and ask for your ideal partner!

Leo energy awakens the heart center – the heart chakra, skin, muscles and bones.

Re-discover joy and fun in your life – from simply enjoying a creative project to spending some time and money to go and see a dramatic/musical performance (or movie).

As a social sign, get out there into the public – socialise, network and encourage others by using your emotional intelligence!  Some may try to ego-bluff or puff out their chests during this period, give them AND YOU space before making decisions about their actions.

A full moon in Leo is a perfect time to enhance and use your unique creative expression.  Many believe the myth that they are not creative; leaving creative expression to the artists and the musicians.  All of us have a spark of creativity within.  After all, we are all created by the Creator!  Her light of creativity is in us all.  We may never see our creations in the public domain nor our name in lights, however the joy you can receive from seeing your own creations in your own home Is a true HIGH.

Other ideas –

*Take a sunbath

* charge up your inner light with activities YOU enjoy

* Express yourself by changing your mane – maybe a trim, a new colour, or some new hair accessories

Some correspondence for Leo Energy – The Archangel Ariel, Fire Opals, Dragons, Volcanoes, Goddesses – Pele, Brigit, Hestia and Vesta; Gods – Agni, Hephaestus, Horus and Vulcan (no not Spock!).

Remember: The full moon in Leo is very good energy for claiming power, increasing courage, inspiring generosity, fame, creativity, and good luck. The qualities of the moon are flashy and highly energetic. A good energy for big rituals, big projects. The energy can be used to expand oneself into the light.

Enjoy the Full Moon.

May the moon bless your cycles within and around you

The Goddess Danu – The Primal One

by

The Goddess Danu is considered to be the most ancient of all the Celtic dieties. Her name means knowledge, wisdom, teacher, wealth and abundance. She is also known as Dayna and her Welsh equivalent, is Don.  These ancient references refer to her as both male and female and as the supreme divine source.

This Celtic goddess is associated with the Tuatha de Danann and is attributed with making them the famous race that we know today. When they were adrift in the oceans off the United Kingdom homeless and scared she invited them to her island where she taught them the skills that we know them for today. Danu is a lover and a giver through her guidance she recognises our potential and she is an artist craftswoman too!  I appreciate the warrior and the nurturing aspect of this goddess.

There are no known records of her folklore.  I’d like to share a story that Danu gave to me during meditation.  I am not claiming this as fact; only a way for us to connect with Goddess Danu.

This is the story of all that I be and how I claimed the race of people as my own.

Back in the mists of a time long gone, I resided within the tides and currents of the waters.  In tune with the cycles of the moon, I held the cycles of life, birth, death and rebirth within my hands.

Within the watery depths, I am aware of all that was, is and all yet to be.  On this particular day, under the Ice Moon, I felt a stirring within the fabric of the Universe. I felt the cries and pleas of a people abandoned on the sea above me.  Using my Wisdom Stone to scry the current events, I could see the wooden hulls of many boats drifting aimlessly on the stormy waters.

I knew that these were a people who knew war, despair and defeat.  Within their souls, I could see the spark of possibility and a grand future.  Even now, in the midst of their defeat, this spark would not be extinguished.  They sought hope and prosperity for themselves as a people.

Their being resonated within me.  I could feel the Universal concordances falling into synchronicity.  These were to be my people.  I looked closer within the Wisdom Stone to see a race of people tall in stature and broad in shoulder.  Their hair glistened with the colours of amber, gold and jasper.  Within their hearts, I could see the glow of magic waiting to be ignited and their minds held the capacity to understand and use the knowledge of nature.

With a new possibility in front of me, I appeared to these people on the waters.  Rising from the depths, I stood on the waves dressed in my robes of silver and white.  My auburn hair caressed the ocean breezes and I held my arms out in welcome.

“Failte, People of the Sea.  I am Danu and I offer to you my protection, my knowledge and my creativity.  Place yourselves within my care and I will give you shelter, strength and sustenance.”

Man, woman and child knelt within their boats and offered me their loyalty.  Deeply touched, I encouraged them to stand.  They were never to be a people to bow to anyone ever again.

With a gentle breath, I guided their boats to my Island home.  I helped them to become one with the land, air, earth and sea. To understand the cycles of the world around them and the wisdom that is held within each and every one of them.  I taught them craftsmanship, blacksmithery and the tactics of war – blending creative expression with a warrior spirit.

I awakened their passion and desire through work, rest and play. Their consciousness was transformed from being locked into the essence of their physical knowledge into an expression of the joy, ease and glory that can be through consciousness.

I helped them break free of the rational mind to embrace possibility.  They live intuitively, instinctually and in harmony with all around them.  When they are unsure which way to turn, they call on me, Danu The Primal Queen.  I lead them through the path of life with a joyful heart and eyes that seek the pathways of vitality and beauty.

These are my people – the Tuatha de Danaan. Fierce fighters with the soul of a bard, they now reside as the Sidhe – invisible to most yet an energetic force that propels each of you to be the best you can be.

 

Namaste
