My first encounter with a crystal hologram was actually a decade ago: A friend of mine showed me a piece of fluorite that he was having difficulty clearing.

These memories, whether we're conscious of them or not, inform our feelings, behaviors fears and beliefs. Memories are subjective interpretations of events. So in ancestral healing, we can't change or edit the event, but: We CAN change the energy charge they carry.

I recently had the divine pleasure of being interviewed by Molly and Madison on their podcast “Demystifying Magic” (links inside), talking about crystals and consciousness, private rituals, and my early days as a healer in New York. They asked me this question: “What are the top 5 crystals you’d recommend for someone who is just starting their collection?”

I remember the first time a crystal opened a portal for me into the spirit world: I was sitting by a lake with a piece of staurolite (pictured above) and I dropped into trance. I felt mists come up around me, and I was transported to the isle of Avalon…

… The wisdom I've channeled from the crystal consciousness + my Lemurian ancestors is that our souls are infinite, that we've led many lifetimes on this planet, and the memory of all we've learned, experienced, healed, and yes also our karma and wounds, is carried in the light codes of our DNA…

Stone has memory, and as it bears witness to all life on this planet, it remembers. Rocks and stones are the bones of this Earth, and their energy + wisdom is deeply healing for us, especially during turbulent times… In turbulent times rock energy stabilizes us, revitalizes, nourishes our nervous system, and helps us feel grounded and secure.

The ancient Lemurians, who encoded the seed crystals, related to Water as its own entity, with spirit and consciousness, and worked with it as a conduit for healing, communication, and memory.

When I hold my Lemurian seeds under water they begin to sing - and the seeds still buried under earth or water sing back. It's like whale song or mermaid cries expressed in crystalline vibration.

There will always be more for us to heal, right? But I realized that if that was my sole focus I'd be stuck in that process for the rest of my life, without ever actually enjoying myself… Crystal alchemy is powerful medicine because it's transmutation and transformation. It's deep, conscious change. It's mining the gold, the treasure we carry within, and mastering our reality by patterning it outwards through our energetic fields.

I’ve been in the process these past few months of deepening into my trust in Spirit, and the stone consciousness, by honoring the Universal forces that shape us and the higher powers that guide us. I’ve been letting go of my need to control (a fear-based impulse motivated by the need for safety), and allowing myself to be guided, supported, provided-for in my life and work.

It’s a Temple Heart or Dow formation (three 7-sided faces alternating with three triangular faces that terminate in a perfect point), and while I had no real idea what this meant at the time or how to work with it, it felt like something had been returned to me.

I took that as a sign of significance.

For many people energy clearing involves lighting up some sage and wafting it around a room or through an aura. Can I tell you, from years of energy clearing experience, that it often needs to go so much deeper than this?

Dating back to the times of antiquity, of ancient Egypt and Greece (and before), to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, and the secret mystery schools of Goddess sects, healers, and holy temples, alchemy has been around for a long-ass time.

Alchemy is more than a chemical science: it is also a philosophy. It is a belief that through the workings of consciousness one can transcend from base human experience to that of divine illumination.

There’s a magic that happens when we combine crystal energy with congruent sound frequencies: it has an alchemical harmonizing effect that we experience right down to a cellular level. Let’s explore!

We love high frequency crystals, right?

They’re powerful, sexy, activate higher levels of consciousness + psychic awakening…

What could be bad about high frequency crystals?

I was first guided to start listening to Solfeggio frequencies by the stones when I was downloading what would become my “Istaria Crystallis™️: Crystal Alchemy + DNA Light Coding” program. I’d sit in meditation while holding different crystals and let the solfeggio frequencies wash over and through me.

It was at times a mind-blowing experience.

As the summer unfolds with the upcoming solstice (or winter, depending on where you are), consider skipping out on the circles, gatherings, chants, rituals. Consider spending it quietly, in nature, with your soul, Spirit, and a sacred stone.

This is a conversation that comes up a lot in spiritual circles but is rarely brought to the fore: How do you come out as spiritual to the people in your life or community that may not be open or receptive to your beliefs?

It’s a reasonable deduction that if you are drawn to a particular crystal it’s because you need its energy medicine. But what if it has a hidden message for you instead?

We have a partial solar eclipse happening on Saturday April 30th at 18:45 UTC , and I’ve been feeling the churning this past week:

Shadow aspects, unhappy memories, frustrations, and discontents – it’s very like the eclipse to bring these things to the surface.
