Lavender Light

When you are experiencing— 

• An apparently insurmountable life situation
• Debilitating regrets or self-criticism
• Loss of direction in life
• Chronic indecision that renders you unable to act
• Mental cloudiness or negative attitudes bogging you down

When you want to—

• Experience the joy, wisdom, and guidance of your higher self
• Improve your self-esteem
• Clarify and strengthen your intuition
• Develop higher states of consciousness
• Cultivate greater mental flexibility and clarity
• Experience the benefits of cranio-sacral therapy

Lavender Light reveals the luminous beauty of your inner Self by clearing away the mental clouds that block your perception of higher truth. Each Lavender Light necklace contains eleven sections of five Sodalight spheres, one Lavender crystal cylinder, and one 14-karat gold bead. Lavender’s cylindrical form allows the Lavender’s energy to encompass the vibrations of its earthstone and metallic partners, thus enabling the Lavender to work harmoniously with the Sodalight.

When worn alone, Sodalight clears limiting mental energies in your aura and physical body. In Lavender Light, the Lavender projects these effects into the mind itself. Lavender helps Sodalight work in areas that it would otherwise be unable to reach, while the Sodalight adds a new dimension to Lavender's scope of activity. Lavender Light brings Sodalight's purifying energy into the very fabric of your mind and its intuitive aspect. There, it clears the mental clutter that hinders your experience of higher states of awareness, and it untangles any inappropriate “blending” of the mind—in this case, with itself.

When the mind blends with itself, it suffers the mental equivalent of an autoimmune response: one part of the mind attacks another. The most common symptom of this is destructive indecision. The mind runs back and forth between options and becomes confused. The person becomes paralyzed by the inability to act; forward movement is stalled, and opportunities are lost. The unique combination of Lavender and Sodalight in this necklace helps to repair the mind’s inappropriate blending and to restore its health.

Lavender Light’s eleven sequences direct the necklace’s energy to your intuitive aspect. The connection between your intuition and your highest Self, Soul, serves as a filter through which information passes between Soul and your other aspects. When, for various reasons, this filter malfunctions, communication between Soul and the rest of your being can become impaired. Then it can become easy for you to lose awareness of Soul and to believe that no higher intelligence is operating within you. Impaired communication with your highest Self can also make you feel scattered, out of sorts, and as though you’ve lost your sense of direction in life. Also, if you have negative thoughts and feelings about yourself, Soul will be unaware of them and thus unable to correct them.

Lavender Light helps restore the proper functioning of the connection between your subconscious and Soul. Thus, it is particularly beneficial when you are feeling down on yourself or are filled with regret or self-directed anger. The illumination offered by Lavender Light can also help when a life situation seems unsolvable or when you are looking for a source of true guidance and are continually befuddled by your mind. By dissolving the mental clouds that dim your connection with your highest Self, Lavender Light restores the beacon of your inner guidance.

Craniosacral Therapy in a Necklace

Lavender Light opens your crown chakra and adjusts the plates of your skull so that they are more flexible and responsive. These effects are similar to those of cranio-sacral therapy. When you wear Lavender Light around your neck, your skull begins to subtly move, pulse, and “unwind.” This unwinding, or increase in the flexibility, of the plates of the head is the physical manifestation of Lavender Light’s effects in the mind. 

Blue Phoenix and Lavender Light

Because of its effects on the mind, Lavender Light is an excellent companion necklace to Blue Phoenix when you are trying to move away from limiting self-concepts and bad habits.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Lavender Light necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Special Therapies

You can also use Lavender Light for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here is another focused treatment you can perform with this necklace.

Enhancing Lavender Light's Craniosacral Effect

The necklace's craniosacral therapy effect will be most pronounced when you are resting. Therefore, wearing Lavender Light during a quiet evening or overnight is particularly effective; then your body is relaxed and receptive to the necklace’s efforts to increase the suppleness of your head and what it represents metaphorically—namely, the mind. Increasing the flexibility of your head and mind are necessary first steps in softening your perceptions of yourself. This flexibility will allow you to receive, as often as possible, the love imparted to you by your highest Self. This love is palpable and the true source of personal strength, self-esteem, certainty, and belief in yourself.

Time Guidelines

For best results, when you first put on Lavender Light in the morning, give yourself some quiet time before getting busy with your day. If you put on Lavender Light immediately before jumping into activity, your body may not allow itself to be vulnerable and might resist its therapeutic effects. Therefore, it’s best not to put on Lavender Light in the morning and then run out the door for work. Instead, immediately after donning the necklace, practice your morning meditation or enjoy some quiet time, and then start your activity. This way, the Lavender Light will have already started a cycle of unwinding. During the day, the necklace’s other effects will come to the fore. Then, when you take a break or come home at night and relax, the unwinding effect will resume.

Lavender Light can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Lavender Light Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Lavender Light necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time.

Caution: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull Sodalight’s polish.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Therapeutic Quality Lavender Light

Lavender Light necklaces contain Sodalight spheres and Lavender cylinders.

Sodalight

Therapeutic quality Sodalight spheres are a deep, rich blue, with relatively consistent color throughout the entire sphere. When the highest-quality Sodalight is first fashioned into spheres, it has only a faint suggestion of white streaks or clouds. If more than 10 percent of the sphere’s surface is white, its therapeutic effectiveness is diminished.

Therapeutic Sodalight may also have tiny—sometimes microscopic—pinpoints of various other colors, such as black, gold, orange, and silver. Sodalight's nature is to purify the human aura and body by absorbing energies that do not fit its wearer’s overall vibratory picture. A moderate amount of these additional colors, or elements, allows the Sodalight to respond to a wider spectrum of these energies. However, if these colors cover more than five percent of the sphere’s surface, the sphere will lack the ideal proportion of essential and nonessential Sodalight components, rendering it non-therapeutic.

High-quality Sodalight may display its crystalline nature as reflective facets of dark blue or black. If the Sodalight is somewhat translucent, the facets may appear to be contained inside the sphere. Therapeutic Sodalight should not be so transparent or gem-like as to encroach on the properties of Indigo.

Sodalight is yet another gemstone that is commonly dyed. Dye hides any white streaks or clouds and prevents the Sodalight from expressing its healing energy. It also clogs the stone’s pores and thus inhibits its ability to absorb disharmony. Consequently, Sodalight that contains any dye is non-therapeutic.

Lavender

The Lavender gemstone is a derivative of colorless Quartz. Yet, unlike Quartz, the finest therapeutic Lavender is not optical in quality. Rather, it contains three elements, all of which are present in the same sphere: lavender color, translucency, and patches of cloudy white or light lavender color. Each therapeutic Lavender sphere exhibits a unique combination of the three essential elements. They work together to fulfill Lavender’s mission and produce its effects.

Lavender Color: The lavender color defines the Lavender gemstone’s mission. The energy of the color lavender has an affinity with the higher levels of our mental, emotional, and even physical bodies. When each of these bodies is stimulated with the energy of lavender, the body awakens to its relationship with the next highest body, inspiring alignment and cooperation among them all.

Translucency: The translucency in the gemstone clears the path for Lavender’s energy to do its work. Without translucency, Lavender’s work slows down drastically. Although non-translucent Lavender can generate the necessary changes, its path through the physical and subtle bodies is greatly hindered.

Cloudy Patches: The patches of cloudy white or light lavender color act as regulatory components by encouraging alignment to unfold in a balanced way. Without these patches, Lavender promotes alignment without attending to the need for change to occur in a balanced, gradual fashion. The cloudy aspect also helps the physical body to regain its balance more swiftly after taking a step toward greater alignment.

Optical-quality Lavender, which is completely translucent and contains no cloudy white or light lavender patches, will bring about alignment at the greatest possible speed. In the hands of an experienced gem therapist who knows how and when to use such a strong force, it is an invaluable tool. However, to prevent the physical body from reacting negatively to such a forced alignment, optical Lavender should be worn only for very short periods.

The finest quality Lavender is free of contaminants. Black flecks, a brown or green tinge, or any foreign matter that muddies the lavender color lowers the quality of Lavender’s energy and diminishes its therapeutic effects. The energy of such Lavender cannot reach into the higher vibratory levels of the wearer’s being. While small splashes or pockets of purple coloring enhance Lavender’s effects, large or numerous dark purple splashes or any coloring that makes the sphere look like Amethyst are contaminants. Such spheres do not support Lavender’s mission. The finest therapeutic quality Lavender is extremely rare.
