The Fire Element

This article is the second of five covering my experience working with each elemental force towards my own personal healing as part of the Becoming Human Crystal program with Naisha Ashian. All five elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Storm) are present within us as much as they are present around us.

In the course, we work with the chakras and we connect with each element, using crystals to help heal, shift, and become aware of different aspects of ourselves. The second element we worked with was the Fire element.

The Fire element is energetic, stimulating, and very hot. Fire is what motivates us. It is the Sun that warms us. It's burning flame encourages us to take action and allows us to be creative in order to achieve our goals. Our digestive system, endocrine system, our sexuality and the meridian system are all linked to the Fire element within our bodies.

While working with the Fire element, through meditation and on a daily basis, I noticed that the energy from the Fire crystals was comforting and passionate. However, too much fire released pent-up negative emotions and created frustration within me.

I learned that when working with Fire it's important to find balance. When you channel Fire properly it can result in feelings of joy and vitality. Fire also gives us the will power to manifest our deepest desires. Sometimes releasing build up emotions is necessary in order to move forward, however it does not have to be released in an intense or violent way.

When we are in a state or anger, frustration, or resentment, it's a good indication that our Fire element isn't well-balanced.

Here are some crystals that are considered Fire element crystals which you can experiment with, to see how they can motivate, strengthen, and energize you:

• Sunstone
• Carnelian
• Clear Calacite
• Rhodonite
• Snakeskin Agate
• Tiger Eye
• Citrine
• Rhodochrosite
• Fire Agate
• Malachite
• Tiger Iron

Botswana Agate Stone Description

The Botswana Agate gets its name from where it is found, in the Republic of Botswana, South Africa. It is a stone that allows the release of suppressed emotions by helping you to see the bigger picture and finding solutions to the problem versus blaming others or your surroundings. This intern will allow for growth on your spiritual path. It also reminds you that love is all around you and do not let yourself feel hurt so easily.

The Earth Element

This article is the first of five covering my experience working with each elemental force towards my own personal healing as part of the Becoming Human Crystal program with Naisha Ashian. All five elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Storm) are present within us as much as they are present around us.

In the course, we work with the chakras and we connect with each element, using crystals to help heal, shift, and become aware of different aspects of ourselves. The first element we worked with was the Earth element.

The Earth element is solid, stable, and very present. Earth is all around us. Without Earth, there would be no us. Its solid state also represents physicality. It gives us security and allows us to survive. Our bones and tissues represent the dense aspects of Earth element within our bodies.

When working with the Earth element, during meditation, I noticed that the energy from the Earth crystals was very slow, heavy, and even sluggish. It helped me understand why some crystals can help with grounding. If we are having stress, anxiety or always worrying, this sluggish energy can help slow the pace down in order to refocus our attention.

If you're not prepared for this large energy it can even feel overwhelming. But when you welcome this energy it can help you feel calm, centered, and bring on a sense of gratitude.

When we are in a state of fear, feeling lack, or worried about our survival it's an indication that we aren't properly connected with the Earth element.

Here are some crystals that are considered Earth element crystals that you can experiment with, to see how they can help you feel grounded, secure, and stable:

• Pyrite
• Smoky Quartz
• Black Tourlamline
• Hematite
• Diopside
• Galena
• Obsidian
• Petrafied Wood
• Garnet
• Bloodstone
• Ruby

Lapis Lazuli Stone Description

Lapis Lazuli is a great stone of wisdom and awareness. It expands awareness by allowing you to see the bigger picture of yourself, from your abilities to your limitations.

From that perspective it then becomes easier to remain in a state of joy and serenity, to release stress and anxiety, and to focus only on what is truly important to you.

Emerald Stone Description

 

Emerald is known as a stone of the heart. This is because it connects strongly with the heart in order to surface deeply rooted negative emotions that we may or may not consciously be aware of. By becoming aware of these emotions, it is easier to properly analyze and process them. It's important to learn from the experiences that the emotions stem from in order to release them. Also known as a stone of abundance, it is through this sense of clarity and renewed energy that you can start to align with your deepest desires.
