It's Memorial Day, so there is a lot of talk + thought about freedom and what that means. It's multi-layered, pragmatic and idealistic, philosophic and woven into the fabric of everyday life. Beyond the nuanced weight of the holiday itself, freedom has an energy, a voice that speaks to each person uniquely and universally. There's autonomy, choice, empowerment. There's ease, flow, inner congruence.
For me (in haiku), it's:
wild waves touch my skin
as I dance in the ocean
feeling the sacred
It's also:
knowing I can move,
and speak, and choose my pathway
- feathered with deep roots
It's also:
existing right here
in this bright and scattered light
all that's ever been
It's also:
a melting embrace
meadowlarks in prairie glow
wholly safe and home
One way that we can access the richest sort of freedom is by being grounded, feeling security as we navigate through life and find what makes us feel the most awake.
Hematoid quartz, often called fire quartz, is a good companion for this freedom quest. Combining clear quartz properties with hematite, and often infused with rainbows, this form of quartz is dynamic and, well, fiery, but also grounding.
It's not a heavy grounding, even as it helps us work on our root chakra, our security foundation. There's a lot of breath and movement to it. It shifts, transmutes, protects, cultivates passion and clarity. Physically, it is said to improve circulation, which is a bit like what it does energetically. Rooted, but flowing and oh!so!alive!
