Featured Crystal: Axinite

Featured Crystal - AXINITE

I was browsing some crystals at my favourite local metaphysical shop, and I noticed Axinte, which I have never seen before.  It is one of those stones that you can get lost gazing into.  It's is refractive, seeing it in sunlight is different that seeing it while indoors.  Hold a light up to it to see all the layers within it.  It reminded me very much of my fire agate ring.

The info card said "Healing: communication, mind, fractures, organs, mental, physical.  Magickal: Brings spirituality into the world. The stone of friendship.  Helps develop psychic power.  Builds trust in hostile communities."  Sounds good to me.

I studied it more when I came home and, as with any brown stone, there are  great grounding properties to it, and helps create connections to Gaia, Earth Mother.  It is recommended to use in crystal grids for healing and connecting with the Earth.  It resonates with the Earth Star chakra, the chakra below our feet anchored in the earth.

Combine with a higher vibration stone when tapping into higher realms.  Due to the great grounding properties it is a great stone to accompany in astral projections, and to keep under pillow for lucid dreaming.  It aids in the return to your body, as well as aids in remembering the astral trip and in remembering dreams - lucid or not.

This is where my experience with axinite has solidified my newfound love for this gem stone.  I immediately felt grounded holding this stone.  For the past two nights I have been sleeping with it under my pillow and the dreams I'm having are extraordinary and I am remembering a large portion of dreams, including small details.  The dreams are like movies!


I look forward to working further with this crystal.  It is said that it helps accessing Akashic records.  Meditate laying down with the stone over your 3rd eye to help you in dismissing intrusive thoughts, and help calm your mind faster.  Axinite can help in transmuting negativity and minimizes the ego.  It allows you to be more flexible and aides in making changes that may otherwise be hard.

It is the zodiac birthstone for Aries.

It is a good stone to use in business and interpersonal relationships.  Wear a piece around your neck, or keep in a pocket.  It aides in communication and helps build trust.  It can help keep things clear and calm in otherwise sensitive and confrontational situations.

In the healing aspect. a Reiki practitioner may use these stones to help with issues of adrenal glands, the stone is said to give strength, endurance, and gives extra earth energy.  Helps when mending breaks and fractures to bones.  For those with back problems is aids in the alignment of the spine.  This is something that I may find use in, as I have an RSI (repetitive strain injury) to my upper back and neck.



Brightest Blessings,
Phoenix Rose

Dreamwork: Creative Triggers for Lucid Dreams

Lately a few people have mentioned to me the occurrence of "weird dreams," or dreams that are rather vivid and busy. Weird is a subjective term and means different things to different people, but I assure you that "weird" is quite normal in the dreamscape. Weird, strange, or peculiar dreams can be one of the best spring boards to dreamwork.  In my experience I have three different types of dreams: lucid, prophetic/psychic, and the typical strange dream we're all used to. I'll start by discussing my experience with lucid dreams because they require triggers. In lucid dreams I become aware that I'm dreaming.  I know that I am the conscious creator and if I feel the desire I can mold and shape things in the environment, including the people, places, and scenarios.  I can decide to sit on the ceiling, ride a bike through the air, or become another person. In my Strive to be Lucid post I mentioned that when you start becoming lucid you may startle and ...

Dreamwork and Crystal Combinations: Chrysocolla, Howlite, and Unakite

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon "All we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -  Edgar Allan Poe Dreams have always fascinated me. I will be sharing my experiences in a new dreamwork blog series. I have been able to lucid dream from a young age.  Growing up, and in my adult years, I continue to work with dreams, interpret, read and learn what I can about dreaming, and the dreamscape. What does "working with dreams" mean exactly?  I purposefully do things in waking life to encourage things to happen in my dream life.  If there are herbs, crystals, foods, drinks, music, or meditation said to enhance lucid or psychic dreaming, you bet that I'm going to try it out.  I will discuss more of this in future blog posts. First thing I want to talk about is this particular crystal combination because I am thrilled with the results.  (Even though this is not necessarily the most important thing in ...
