Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a stone of empowerment of the feminine energies, in both women and men.  It emanates gentleness and power; teaching that genuine power best expresses itself through gentleness. 

It is a stone of the Goddess, and those who resonate with Chrysocolla will likely feel her ancient and enduring energies rising within themselves. 

Chrysocolla stimulates the throat chakra for clear communication of one's inner wisdom.  It can even be an aid to learning what that wisdom actually is. 

Those who have had the experience of being surprised by hearing oneself speak a thought more profound than that which one had in mind will know what is meant by this.  The process of formulating and speaking one's ideas, especially when it is done spontaneously, can reveal one's true innate wisdom. 

Wearing Chrysocolla, particularly near the throat chakra, can facilitate these and other gifts of expression.  Chrysocolla is closely attuned to the vibrations of the Earth and can facilitate one's empathic connection with the Earth's consciousness. 

In addition to activating the throat chakra, it can harmonise and balance the heart chakra and can link both heart and throat chakras with the base chakra, for greater life force and physical vitality. 

Chrysocolla is a cardinal Water element stone, governing the flow of energy and communication.  It is powerful for opening and cleansing the throat chakra, allowing one to channel the loving knowledge of the heart to others.  It assists us in owning the power of our words and in recognising how the words we use affect our reality.  It facilitates the expression of our heart's deepest truth as well as our mind's greatest knowledge. 

This stone encourages all of us to share our true selves, without artifice or masks, so our wisdom - not just our information - can be conveyed through our words and our energies. 

Chrysocolla is a powerful model for consciously considering the way one puts one's energy out into the world.  One can speak and say nothing, or remain silent and speak volumes. 

Chrysocolla teaches the value of both sound and silence.  Its calming, soothing energies facilitate flow in one's life and one's energy.  It can aid in dispelling fiery energies, angry words, or fear-filled sarcasm, so our most valuable truth is shared through our words or our silence. 

Chrysocolla governs all aspects of sound healing, whether through words or sound frequencies.  Its energy teaches us how sound affects our physical reality and how we can change that reality by adjusting the way we use our words. 

Chrysocolla's energy facilitates true communication between all beings by promoting the expression of heart energy.  Chrysocolla assists in the release of stress, anxiety and other fear-based imbalances in the body.  It helps one to own the value of one's experience, knowledge and contribution.   

It helps one feel more secure when communicating with others and helps dispel fear in social situations or when one is speaking in a highly charged emotional situation.  It assists one in releasing patterns of sarcasm, criticism and facetiousness in one's communication with others, as well as releasing the fear from which these patterns stem.  

Affirmation:  I listen deeply to the voice within and express it with freedom, spontaneity, passion and reverence.
