We all have a team of guiding energy helping our soul in this lifetime and beyond. Your spirit guide team may consist of angels, ancestors, saints, ascended masters, goddesses, animals, and crystals. Crystals, like plants and trees, have spirit. They are alive with energy. This aliveness is why so many people are drawn to crystals and how crystals can lend to our healing.

There are six crystals that are called the Spirit Crystals, and every soul has a connection to one of these six. The six Spirit Crystals are amethyst, citrine, clear quartz, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and prasiolite (also known as green quartz or aventurine). Each Spirit Crystal is connected with an archetype, which helps a person evolve into their highest version of themselves. (Note that these are not traditional Jungian archetypes, but rather modern archetypes of spiritual seekers.) The Spirit Crystals are here to help you realize your past life wounds so as to heal from them and become empowered in this lifetime. Each Spirit Crystal acts as a teacher or guide for those that connect with them. The Crystals bring vibration and energy, but are also connected through their archetype with deities, plants, and rituals that bring healing.

Amethyst is connected with the archetype of the alchemist, which is connected to a past life in Ancient Egypt. The key healing of the amethyst is transmutation, and Amethyst helps you alchemize shadows and other unwanted energy into spiritual gold or gifts. Amethyst is connected with Ancient Egyptian deities, especially Thoth; Thoth wrote the Emerald Tablet, which many consider to be the first or foundational book of alchemy. Alchemy, on a metaphorical level, is really what spiritual evolution and spiritual journeys are about. Spiritual alchemy is what we all strive to do. It is the evolution. It is the magic. Amethyst aids us on this quest.

Citrine is known as the manifestor. The manifestor archetype is connected with a past life in Atlantis. Citrine helps to heal blocks in manifesting and receiving abundance. The fall of Atlantis is known as a cautionary tale; it was a paradise on earth until the people there became greedy and wanted more than paradise. People connected with citrine often have blocks in manifesting what they want. There is a part of them that fears that they are being greedy or that they are undeserving of abundance. Citrine helps to clear these blocks.

Clear quartz is known as the healer archetype. This archetype is connected to Lemuria. Clear quartz helps you transform from a wounded healer to a wholly healed healer. Lemuria is deeply connected with crystals. People sell Lemurian seed crystals; these special clear quartz crystals are said to be encoded with the records of the Lemurians before they all either died or hid away. All stones are record keepers, but clear quartz is the best at help you discover your own records. Clear quartz is the best conduit for reading the Akashic records (the reading of these records is one of the many tools of the healer archetype).

Rose quartz is the lover. The lover is tied to both Avalon and the angelic realm. Avalon was a mystical island of goddess worshipers. The people there were deep in their divine feminine energy, and divine feminine energy is the key to healing the heart. Rose quartz helps to heal the broken heart and open it back up to love in all forms. People connected to rose quartz often have wide-open heart chakras. They are very sensitive and loving, but many have closed their hearts through the hurt from others that they have endured. Rose quartz works to restore the harmony of the heart chakra, allowing it to be open yet protected.

Smoky quartz is connected to the archetype of the medium. Smoky quartz is connected with Paititi, the famous city of legendary gold. The gold is what lies beyond death. Smoky quartz can help you release your fears surrounding death and instead embrace your gift of connection with the other side. A healed medium is not haunted by the dead, but at peace in this lifetime and what happens beyond. Working with smoky quartz helps you to face the fears that are holding you back from your own evolution and empowerment. Jaguar is an important ally of smoky quartz. She helps you be the apex predator of your own fears. She helps you stand in your true power and confidence.

Lastly, aventurine or prasiolite is tied to the archetype of the sage and the ancient land of Shambala. Aventurine helps you stop doubting your wisdom and step into it instead. Shambala is a realm of peace and bliss. When you are at peace within yourself your true wisdom can rise to the surface. A healed sage is patient and quiet, allowing the wisdom to arise when it's ready. Aventurine/prasiolite helps to guide you to trust your own intuition and instincts. It helps you to focus in meditation and quiet the monkey mind.

You will reap many benefits from discovering and connecting with your Spirit Crystal, but the top three are:

1. Discovering significant past lives that affect your current spiritual journey. As explained previously, each Spirit Crystal is connected with an archetype and that archetype is connected to a spiritual place. Knowing whether you have ties to Atlantis or Lemuria will allow you to better focus your own spiritual path. So many of us know we have had past lives and often feel unsure how to begin this journey into uncovering them. Your Spirit Crystal gives you a lead into how this past life affects you in this lifetime. You are also provided tools to help heal the woulds that remain from this past life. You will learn to overcoming lessons from these previous lives to give you a fresh start in this one.
   
   
2. Learning about the different allies that connect with your own Spirit Crystal and how to call on these allies. Each Spirit Crystal is connected to a chakra, a sacred number, deities, plants, and other stones. When you discover your Spirit Crystal and all that it's connected to, your spiritual search will be focused. You will be given a list of tools that will help aide you in your journey. These allies all connect with your Spirit Crystal and will help deepen your relationship with your Crystal as well as yourself.
   
   
3. Understanding which types of divination, rituals, and practices best suit you. Each Spirit Crystal is associated with a form of divination that best suits your archetype. There are so many forms of divination that the choices can be overwhelming. Your Spirit Crystal will guide you to a form of divination that will come more naturally to you. You can also combine all of the Spirit Crystals to use for a special form of divination, as well. There are many practices associated with each Spirit Crystal, from chanting to ritual baths to meditations. Let your Spirit Crystal guide your spiritual practice and you will feel so much more empowered on this path.

If you are feeling the call to connect with a Spirit Crystal, follow that nudge. Discovering and connecting with your Spirit Crystal will help elevate your own spiritual practice and empower you on your path.
