Amethyst: Surrender to Flow

Have you ever watched a flying V of geese pass overhead? They are gently in synch, in flow with each other and their shared path. Without second-guessing, they follow this path. None are worrying about where they are destined, where they will end up, if the leader knows where they are going, what the weather is like on the way. They have a shared intention of arriving at a safe place to rest and refuel and then it’s off again to their wintering grounds- again, this destination not discussed, but simply known. Or maybe they will know it when they see it.

This intuitive knowing and unflinching trust is the very definition of being in flow. The universal flow that surrounds us and moves through us is what guides geese to migrate, mammals to tuck in, mothers to care for their young, and those humans who listen, to follow their path.

It is a whisper to surrender fear-based strategizing and allow things to come together by simply following small nudges, hunches and inspired action. It is beyond logic or rational thinking. And though it is the path to our greatest experiences and most fulfilling life, we humans really struggle to fall into our place within the V.

But Amethyst can help. Amethyst is FLOW in crystal form. It carries the frequencies of ease and relaxation and is well known for helping with restless sleep and insomnia- the places humans find themselves when the MIND is swirling with worry and fear of the unknown. Amethyst’s magic is its soothing lullaby of surrender. Just let go, trust the process, it’s all going to be ok.

The idea is that the Universe has got your back. If you allow it, you will be guided easily to your desired destination (even if you don’t know what that is yet). If you begin to involve your brain, whose main job is to assume all things are unsafe, you will become a panicked flapping mess, tangling yourself and the beautifully synchronized flow of the Universal V.

Working with Amethyst helps your energy align with the divine frequencies of flow, trust, faith and surrender. Allowing us to also tap into the wise knowing of the divine realms, this third eye + crown chakra stone is a direct link to your intuition and inner knowing. 

When feeling stressed, worried, anxious, or fearing the unknown, call on Amethyst to help you reconnect to the guidance that lives within, the knowing that allows you to follow the whimsical whisper of surrender. Allow yourself to fall into synch with your intuition. Allow yourself to trust, it’s all going to be ok. The Universe is infinitely more intelligent than you are (sorry, not sorry) and has a path better than you can imagine all mapped out. All you have to do is go with the flow, babe.
