Finding Inspiration Series: Colors of Light

My ‘Finding Inspiration’ series was written out of a need that comes up in my practice, most often in Spring and Fall. I feel we all need a bit of encouragement and enlightenment now and then to help us move forward. Finding motivation through inspiration, like the magnificence of crystals can be the exact spark which sets you on your way!

Crystaline Color

What can be more inspiring than the brilliant purple hue of amethyst, the rich orange of carnelian or the deep pink of rhodochrosite? Color plays a motivational part as one of the reasons we are drawn to a particular crystal in the first place.

The color of crystals each have their own specific meanings or references…
