QUALITIES

Eye of the Storm is a stone of dynamic stillness and emotional peace. It switches off the body’s ‘fight or flight’ mechanism (see page 22), de-stressing you and placing you in a still, calm space. Acting rather like a life-support system, the stone contains raw energy on which you can draw. It also stops you obsessing over details, highlighting that what you focus your mind on is what you’ll see. It reminds you that knowing the current picture can only help you to make an informed decision; and if your choice is based on yesterday’s forecast, the moment has passed. Eye of the Storm offers a higher perspective, enabling you to rise above ‘pressure’ (the situation around you), ‘wind’ (thoughts), ‘likelihood of precipitation’ (emotions) and so on. It shows you what you have to let go in order to achieve serenity. With the help of Eye of the Storm, you can take the decision, make the move and cease worrying about how it will work out.

WHAT THIS CRYSTAL BRINGS TO MINDFULNESS

Eye of the Storm has an incredible ability to bring calmness in the midst of chaos. It creates a strong central core nothing can shake. This crystal makes you feel like you’re standing in the still heart of a hurricane. Pandemonium may be whirling all around you but you objectively assess what is happening and choose how to respond – if at all.

CRYSTAL REFLECTION

Standing in the eye of the storm. Savouring tranquillity.

USING THIS CRYSTAL

Place the crystal, or its photograph, over your heart for a few moments. Breathe in slowly while saying to yourself, ‘I breathe calm into my heart.’ As you breathe out say, ‘Calm remains in my heart and radiates all around me.’ Carrying the stone assists but simply putting your hand on your heart and quietly saying these words is sufficient to restore inner calm once you have absorbed the crystal energy.
