Crystals for Creativity

Creativity

Finding your Muse

Creativity is a trait that some feel they are born with while others wish they had. Deep down we all have artistic abilities within us, we may not know they are there or they may be pushed down by fears and insecurities of our ability. However, you too can bring that creativity out and make it flourish. Or you may already be a creative person and you are suffering from writers block or a block in your creative channel. Did you know that crystals can act as your muse?

The muse of the crystal world is none other than gorgeous amethyst. Amethyst is the red-violet ray that connects both time and color. It connects beginnings to ends, joins life to new life, and makes the great circle of life complete once again. It captures the dying rays of the sun, and sends the message that winter is arriving. In this way, amethyst is the color of creativity. As the world begins to cycle through a time of renewal once again, creating the means for the rapid growth of the new spring, we too prepare for new creations by allowing a quiet time of reflection and insight.

Amethyst Crystals

Amethyst Colored Crystals Bring You Creativity, Perception, Self Knowledge, and Insight

It should be no surprise that the red-violet rays of the beautiful Amethyst pushes our creativity out of the darkness and into the light. The color ray amethyst combines the fiery passion of the red ray tempered with the intuition of the violet ray. In doing so, it helps us see with both our emotions and our logic. Can there be any more potent combination than imagination and passion? This combination makes amethyst the color ray of vision, insight, and self-knowledge.

The Amethyst crystal itself holds the ultimate power of creativity. Amethysts are particularly helpful in artistic endeavors in which new, original results need to be created using the tools and methods of previous times. Amethyst crystals include the Artist’s Stone, the Composer’s Stone, the Inventor’s Stone, the Poet’s Stone, and the Painter’s Stone. They bring the natural power of creativity to us. They help us visualize, create, and invent. They stimulate our creativity.

Another deep and powerful amethyst colored crystal is the Cacoxenite. Cacoxenite in Amethyst mingles dark brown to yellow tufts of Cacoxenite, a phosphate mineral and major component in the Super Seven crystal, with the host crystal Amethyst. This combination brings a high level of creativity and new ideas to humanity by fostering thoughts that have never been thought of before. It is a calming stone, good in times of upheaval, and raises spiritual awareness of the creator essence in the beauty of nature and the kindness in people. Carry on the night of the crescent and full moon to transfer healing energy to the Earth and create an ethereal connection between all of the universe.

Amethyst’s ability to expand the higher mind also enhances one’s creativity and passion. It strengthens the imagination and intuition, and refines the thinking processes. It helps in the assimilation of new ideas, putting thought into action, and brings projects to fruition. It is a talisman of focus and success.

Cacoxenite in Amethyst is a calming and grounding stone to use in times of emotional upheaval. It is particularly suited to the creative individuals. When you need to be inspired, to be able to create in an artistic way, use an amethyst with Cacoxenite crystal to focus and energize your creativity.

Judy Hall suggests Lapis Lazuli which is a valuable talisman for gaining respect, keeping negative energy away, and for helping us to remember to be humble in our dealings with others.

Lapis Luzili encourages taking charge of life. It reveals inner truth, encourages self-awareness, and allows self-expression without holding back or compromising. Lapis Lazuli is also a powerful thought amplifier. It stimulates the higher faculties of the mind, bringing objectivity and clarity. It encourages creativity through attunement to the source.

Melody recommends Carnelian which is known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage. They have protected and inspired throughout history.

Known as the creativity stone, Carnelian is helpful in all endeavors in life, whether we create something small, or on a global level, creativity is the solution to any of our problems. It is by true creation and expression of who we are that we can come full alive.

Philip Permutt advocates Celestite which offers a gentle, uplifting energy which can raise and expand one’s awareness into the higher realms.

Celestite is good for creative expression, speech, and clear thought, especially about complex ideas. Promotes respectful love and natural abilities. It is good for music and art.
