QUALITIES

Composed of over 23 different minerals in an Amethyst, Citrine and Green Quartz base, Auralite 23 is an extraordinarily complex crystal that, paradoxically, brings you to a point of complete stillness and simplicity. This stone is more than 1.2 billion years old, formed at the moment when multicellular creatures first emerged on Earth, and so takes you ‘back to the beginning’. Auralite 23 can be called upon for comfort and calming, especially during times of shock or distress. Its gently soothing waves of energy remove stress and allow you to put down any burdens you are carrying. If you need to reflect on a course of action, it assists you in applying the knowledge you already have to plan and then to let go – and stop worrying. It is particularly effective if racing thoughts prevent you from sleeping.

WHAT THIS CRYSTAL BRINGS TO MINDFULNESS

Auralite 23 has the ability to shut down the constant mind chatter that so often plagues us, taking us into a place of calm serenity. It gives a feeling of switching off the ticking clock of time that relentlessly pushes us onward. The crystal offers a space to breathe and relax, to let go and enjoy inner solitude.

CRYSTAL REFLECTION

The clock stops. All is stillness.

USING THIS CRYSTAL

Gaze at the crystal, or its photograph, with softly focused eyes. Breathe in deeply. As you breathe out follow the lines as they spiral down from top to bottom, allow your thoughts to drift away into the reflection until you come to a point of stillness. Alternatively, place the crystal on the middle of your forehead when meditating or make a grid of three crystals around your pillow to help you sleep.
