Switch off your automatic pilot – wake up!
Malachite is a powerful stone of profound transformation. Life is lived more intensely under its influence. If you have been suppressing toxic thoughts or feelings, it brings them to the surface, releasing historic anger and psychosomatic causes of dis-ease. Malachite breaks old ties, releases inhibitions and removes outworn patterns, and so sets you free to be your authentic self. The experience may be temporarily traumatic but ultimately therapeutic, as you are no longer pulled back into past dramas. This stone teaches you to take responsibility for your actions, thoughts and feelings. It helps you to develop empathy for other people and makes you less judgemental, allowing you to know how it feels to be in their place.
Journeying through Malachite’s convoluted patterns releases your mind and your emotions to remain focused in the present. It helps you to stay with a feeling, breathing gently as you fully experience it, and then allow it to move on. Hold the stone in your hand or keep it in your pocket to remind you to stay with the process and not pull away. Ultimately, Malachite teaches that a feeling is just that – a feeling. Neither good nor bad. And it too shall pass.
The road less travelled. Fearlessly going where others fear to tread.
Gaze at the whorls on your Malachite crystal (or its photograph). Be aware that these are the ingrained patterns that run your life, going around and around. Recognize where you have been running on automatic pilot for so long. Suddenly move your eyes, changing focus to the edge of the crystal. Step off the hamster wheel into the now.
