Malachite

Malachite is one of the most important stones for protection from negative energies.  It permeates the auric field with positive vibrations and strengthens the natural energetic 'shell' which can screen out hostile forces.  It activates the psychic 'radar' via which one 'feels' the presence of danger.  It offers a 'cloak of invisibility' which can keep one from being noticed by those who might pose a threat to one's emotional or physical well-being.  It even accentuates the vibrational equivalent of 'luck', in which synchronicities seem to conspire to keep one safe and protected.

Malachite emanates the healthiest energy pattern for the heart.  It benefits both the emotional heart and the 'muscle pump' itself through its harmonisation of the heart chakra.  It assists one in maintaining emotional balance, in which one remains in a positive, benevolent state but is not tempted to take on the emotional baggage of others.  It also offers an enhanced ability to see where one's own emotional traps and pitfalls may lay and to avoid them.

The solar-plexus (navel) chakra is also stimulated by Malachite, and in this case there is an enhancement of willpower.  In the presence of Malachite, it is easier to refuse all sorts of temptations, from ice-cream to infidelity, and in so doing, to realise one is also serving one's own highest good.  Malachite instills confidence and self-responsibility and is useful in making spiritual progress through right action in the world.

Malachite harmonises with Tiger Eye for physical energy and protection.

Malachite is one of the few green 'Fire' element minerals.  It holds the 'male' or yang polarity of copper's powerful electrical conductivity.  The energy of Malachite strengthens our ability to take action in the world and to create form from our thoughts and ideas.  It stimulates the solar-plexus chakra and promotes one's alignment with, and expression of, both personal and Divine will.  Its energy drives one to create and manifest one's desires and dreams.

Malachite carries the frequency of the enlightened leader.  It assists those in positions of great responsibility to carry out the Will of the Divine.  It can help one to 'step up to the plate' and take confident action and to find the resolve to overcome difficulty and to retain integrity to stay true to one's direction.  Malachite reminds us that we are co-creators in this world and that the possibilities for our creations are endless.

Malachite can be a powerful ally for those who are trapped in waiting for their reality to change.  It can assist one in perceiving the cracks in the walls that block one's progress, so you can make choices that will help break through limitations, barriers and apathy.  It stimulates one's higher passions for life and creating.  It provides strength to consciously own one's responsibility in moving forth in life in whatever direction one chooses.

Malachite's beautiful, rich, green colour reveals its ability to heal on physical and emotional levels.  Malachite can be used to draw out impurities, densities and attachments in the energy field.

Malachite reminds us that we have come here to co-create with the Universe and that fate is an illusion.  It helps us recognise and use our power in a constructive, creative manner.  It can be used as a grounding tool and will assist one in identifying the steps necessary to bring dreams, visions and wishes into physical reality.  It reveals energetic and emotional boundaries and helps one to honour those boundaries for both self and other.  It can be a powerful stone for protection from power abuse on psychic, energetic and emotional levels.

Malachite is ideal for burning through the fog of emotional confusion that can prevent one from making conscious choices. It is an excellent ally for those afraid to use their power because of past experiences with abusive individuals.  It can assist one in overcoming fear of confrontation or fear of self-expression.  It can help those who fear being seen or notices or who resist assuming their rightful place as a co-creative force in the Universe.

Malachite is excellent for reducing inflammation due to sprains, strains or other injuries.  It is also a fabulous support during fasting, detoxification and other cleansing rituals.  

Affirmation:  I align my personal will with my understanding of Divine will, and I move forward with clarity and confidence.
