Directional Guidance - Crossroad Crystals.
Before I get started into what’s and why’s and how we can harness the energy of directional crystals. I’d like to share an observation which I have experienced. For well over 35 years of crystal collecting and 21 years of professionally rehoming our shiny friends. I have found that Mother Nature unearths “batches” (particularly of quartz) with one particular formation at a time. A crystal prescription from mother earth if you like! These crystals metaphysical vibrations always seem to coincides with our energy requirements. It’s happened so many times I can’t see coincidence in it - synchronicity is the keyword!
Me being me also i can’t help but layer this energy up another notch by delving in a little deeper. Let’s start with one of the hermetic laws of the universe - The Principle of Vibration.
In hermetic philosophy, vibrations are caused by ideas and subconscious needs ... Hermetic philosophy says that this isn't just a coincidence. Instead, let’s say when we resonate joy, we will actually attract people into our lives who bring us more joy. This also seems to be the way of crystals - whether this be on a conscious or subconscious level.
Directional Crystals
Cross Crystals are simply crystals that have another crystal lying across it. The second crystal may be at an angle like an X, or straight across like in a traditional “Cross” shape. I’m going to push that explanation to also cover formations where two major terminations from the same cluster base cross and point in two distinct direct directions., rather than just a single point with a crossing crystal.
So what is it about these cross road crystals that makes them so important for our energetic requirements right now?
Why I believe these are being unearthed at the present time, is our major planetary energy shifts- the planet is changing, human kind is changing and there are major disruptions occuring. A time to make major choices.
‘Crossroad’ crystals as the name imply are directional energy stones. We are on the cusp - of change and decisions to be made. Currently passing into the age of Aquarius - with a new year beginning off the back off a full moon, major eclipses, energetic movement and a global pandemic. Doesn’t it stand to reason this sudden ‘glut’ of crossroads have been sent to us to help guide us through the changes? Where are we going what are we doing on a personal as well as planetary level? Maybe just maybe some of the answers lie encoded in our shiny friends! If you are being guided to make changes in your life it may just be that these crystals have appeared now for this very reason.
Working With Directional Energy
Cross Crystals are very helpful to assist us in making decisions, especially when at a “Cross Road” in life. These crystals represent options, certainty and good decision making.
MEDITATION
The trick to working with these stones is meditation. Spending some quiet time with this stone to go over options you already know are available. By letting the thought process flow – try not to analyse the options, let ideas flow. Empty your mind, focus on your breath, and let new previously unknown options reveal themselves. I find it helpful to journal any thoughts and ideas then process and analyse them at a later time with a fresh outlook.
CONFLICT
Another way to use this helpful crystal is to place the crystal in the hands of the person doing the talking, while the other listens with patience and an open mind/heart. Then they may have their turn to hold the crystal and communicate uninterrupted.
Another talent Cross Crystals have is to show close partnerships/ relationships, that even though both are attached, they can each have their own interests, and directions they may each travel – yet still stay connected and in harmony with each another.
Not only are crossroad crystals good for assisting in decision making but they can also help teach tolerance and empathy for others who may have opposing views or opinions to our own.
Conflict resolution by people who have a close relationship with each other. When discussing the cause of conflict try placing a crossroad crystal between the participants.

CROWN CHAKRA
Our Crown Chakra is our connection to the divine and from where we can achieve bliss. It enables abstract thinking, where boundaries between the material and formless are blurred and elements take on their true, natural state. Awakening and unblocking the Crown Chakra removes cynicism and enlightens us to the most true state of the universe that we are a part of.
One of the things i love about crystals is that no two are the same, the subtle differences between each stone and the way we are attracted on a particular piece never ceases to amaze me. If you have awareness about your choice or attraction to a certain crystal really does speak energetically where you are vibrationally at. So if you are attracted to these particular stones change is in the wind, blockages are ready to be opened, decisions made and a whole new shift in energy is about to be unveiled.
