“An illusion is a static image, displaced in the stream of
time, and for that reason is unreal.”
In this fast paced era of telecommunications and media
messages, it is easy to fall sway to the subliminal patterning of mass minded
marketing dynamics. With so much bombardment from external stimuli, it is important
to distinguish the illusory from reality. Only an awareness and acceptance of
the present moment can combat the illusory values of materialism, competition,
and commercialism. While the ubiquity of
foreign values may seem overwhelming, tools exist to penetrate the illusions of
the technology age. One such tool is amethyst crystal, whose properties are
related to the third eye chakra and penetrating illusions. |
| The Pineal Gland, associated with the Third Eye Chakra |
The third eye chakra is located between the eyes and
corresponds anatomically with the pineal gland located deep in the center of
the forebrain. This gland produces melatonin, a sleep hormone, and maintains
daily hormonal rhythms. It is said when this chakra is balanced, the third eye
opens and the individual is able to perceive the true nature of reality.
Naturally, amethyst finds association with wisdom, intuition, and healing.
The soft to deep purple hues of this crystal are soothing
and help ease tension. This is a crystal often paired with meditative practice as
it helps ease individuals into a deeper state of awareness. Amethyst helps to
soothe the mind and emotions while keeping consciousness stimulated. The
strength this stone lends allows mediators to turn towards traumatic or
unresolved issues with a sense of support and purpose. Tensions from the overworked
body, mind, and emotions will be eased while restorative vibrations take their
place.

| High Grade Amethyst |
Often, amethyst is kept under a sleeping pillow or bed
mattress in order to keep this crystal close while dreaming. Amethyst acts as a
stone of psychic protection, allowing us to rest while holding at bay the
negative encroachment of nightmares and uncanny dreams. This crystal has been
used as a sleep aid since the time of the ancient Greeks. It is said resting amethyst
on the third eye relieves insomnia.
Amethyst also has a powerful effect on the physical body.
Associated with the pineal gland, amethyst has been known to boost the
production of hormones and stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and
endocrine glands. It supports oxygenation in the blood, aids in treatments of
the digestive tract, and strengthens the immune system. Amethyst is an easy,
go-to good-for-all kind of crystal.
