Spirit Quartz
Spirit Quartz is only found in South Africa. Its unusual growth pattern is displayed by a central candle-shaped crystal form with faceted termination, and a main crystal body covered with small terminated points. Most Spirit Quartz is Amethyst, often blended with Citrine. It is also known as Cactus Quartz, Pineapple Quartz and Porcupine Quartz. Spirit Quartz aligns the everyday ‘local self’ with the Higher Self, and assists the Higher Self in manifesting through one’s human form. This creates a dynamic via which the speed of one’s evolution is increased and one’s positive effects upon other people and the world are greatly enhanced.
Amethyst Spirit Quartz directly links one’s conscious mind to the Higher Self, allowing one to comprehend and verbally express the knowledge and wisdom beaming into one from that aspect of the self. Citrine Spirit Quartz works directly through the third chakra, causing one to act directly from the will of the Higher Self, without necessarily understanding why. This makes it fairly obvious why a speceimen of both Amethyst and Citrine is so eagerly sought after.
It has also been used via placement in the center of a group, while the group is involved in healing or spiritual issues, in order to facilitate the connection with the energy between all members. It is quite useful in healing configurations (see "Love Is In The Earth- Laying-on-of-Stones") to generate the abundance of energy available. Spirit Quartz has also been used to increase both physical and intellectual fertility. It appears that the energy generated by Spirit Quartz is directly proportional to the number of crystals which overlay the single (or multiple) crystals.It is used to activate and to cleanse other minerals, to enhance and to increase the energy of other minerals, and to activate the properties of same. It has also been used to enhance the energy transfer of other minerals to stimulate healing on all levels.
The energy is multi-functional: Energy moves outward in many directions, and this quartz structure has the capacity to draw or to transmit energy through the may paths provided by the crystals covering the main structure. It is quite useful for energy magnification and for stimulation all portions of the physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and subtle bodies. It has been used to cleanse the chakras, and to supplant any voids and/or any negative energies which hard contained, with positive radiant white light. This crystal will rectify localized energy disturbances. It acts to dissipate the disturbance and to replace any disorganized energy with a stable, reliable energy which discourages further disorder.
Spirit Quartz can be used in astral projection and for dreaming by placing one or more pieces under your pillow to increase and intensify the desired state.Spirit Quartz symbolizes patience and perseverance which is quite important during healing states. It will provide protection and assist in maintaining a field of protection. It has been used in re-birthing sessions to enhance ones understanding of both the blockages which are removed and the reasons for which they existed.It both opens and activates the crown chakra, and assists one to channel desired energy to the proper goal. It brings the spirituality of the higher planes into the healing ceremonies while focusing the energy deep within the "essence" of the matter.
It is an excellent configuration for transmission of directional energy. In situations of physical healing, it has further served to return the healing energy to the user. IT allows one to see the duality of ones nature, rectifying the negative and building the positive. It has also been shown to assist on e in "visioning", meditation, and in a strong connection with the Inner Self, as well as with the Higher Self. If you do any kind of energy work, light work or healing, this special crystal is a much-needed addition to your collection of tools.
It can be used in meditation to provide insights to family and/or community problems. It is also estimable for those employed by organizations that assist others, i.e.: teachers, hospitals, etc., as the energy helps to stimulate a group cohesiveness and a willingness to work together. It also assists in bringing the "group" energy of other crystals to the surrounding environment. This crystal is a wonderful companion when one is experiencing the loss of a loved one, bringing understanding to the process and assisting in transition (for both).
