Gemstone of the Month:  Petalite

Petalite promotes tranquility, upliftment, expansion of awareness, bringing the spiritual into the physical, and opening to higher worlds.  It is associated with the element of Air and the 6th and 7th chakras.

This stone has a deep connection to the realm of Spirit, thereby promoting a profound sense of peace and joy.  In this space, rest and healing may take place and worries and concerns of the physical plane are released.  Petalite is a stone of vision, opening the inner eye to higher dimensions.  It enhances psychic powers such as clairvoyance and telepathy.  It also has a grounding aspect that keeps you connected to earthly life while you are off exploring new realms.

Petalite activates the higher mind with a soft, balance energy that can easily lift you up into higher realms and awareness during meditation or maintain a higher level of awareness during daily activities.  Its calming qualities can be attributed to its high Lithium content, which balances and calms traumatized emotions and energies.

Excerpts from The Book of Stones by Simmons & Ahsian

I was speaking with a woman who told me that she has been depressed and miserable over an upheaval with a family member.  The situation had caused a rift in the family and, as a result, she was unable to move forward in her life.  Her friend advised her to forgive the relative that caused this problem.  Now she was struggling with trying to find the ability to forgive him and was exhausted from the effort.  Her new mantra became, if only I could forgive him.

Some feel that to forgive is divine; that by doing so, it enables the person to get on with life.  There is also the idea that the person being forgiven will transform in some way that will be to his or her benefit. 

In this regard, it seems that forgiveness is a selfish act, designed to make all parties feel better and to move the offender in a more positive direction that benefits not only himself but everyone around him.  This type of intention is manipulative, attempting to modify another person's path without their consent.  It takes an assumption that the person wants to be forgiven or that he or she feels they have done something to warrant being forgiven.  That person may feel completely justified in their actions.  

Within forgiveness is contained aspects of guilt, remorse, worry, doubt, manipulation, and submission.  Forgiveness takes energy and requires a specific action on the part of the person who has been "wronged" toward a person they have judged to be in error. 

On the other hand, acceptance requires only that the person who feels hurt examine what it is about the situation that is creating this reaction.  By doing so, it promotes insight into the self and affords the opportunity to base the next action on your own highest good.  It may be time to end the destructive pattern created by the relationship with the other person and so the decision would involve separation without judgment. 

Rather than tormenting yourself over "why" someone did what they did, accept that it is part of their path and you only have control over your own path.  You have the power to make your path the best it can be.  If there is an obstacle in the way that cannot be moved, go around it, adjust your actions, and transcend the issue through your own development. 

Acceptance brings inner peace, for there is no guilt or manipulation involved.  It allows one to see the lessons inherent in the situation and the growth opportunity it presents.  Rather than forgiveness, acceptance gives you back control over your own life by removing the power someone else's actions have over you.  It is not about what they did, but how you respond to it, how you grow from it, and what you learn from it.
