A window to the soul
Window Crystal
On a call with my Soul Coach, she asked what I believe happens after death. I explained that when my Mom died when I was 7, I tried really hard to imagine what it would be like to die and found that you can never turn off that soul part of yourself, so even when the body dies, your soul still goes on. I just knew… at 7, I just knew.
She later asked if I trust myself and I explained that I have a very strong connection with my intuition/source energy/soul, and I trust it 1000%, it is just that I am afraid to follow it in fear of other’s opinions about it. I realized that as I child, the connection was easy to follow, but as we grow up and compare ourselves to others and try to fit ourselves into these boxes and labels, we shut down the voice of the soul. We program our minds with outside influence and sometimes lose touch with ourselves. (I have an open G Center in Human Design, so I am definitely subject to losing myself to others easily). She encouraged me to share from my soul, without fear. I explained that I have always been drawn to crystals and am fascinated by both the science and metaphysical aspects of them, but I am most strongly drawn to the nuanced formations, etchings, defects and markings of specific crystals that hold in my perSOULnal opinion, incredible power.
A WINDOW TO THE SOUL
A “Window Crystal”, also known as a Diamond Window Quartz, is a crystal with a diamond shape at the meeting of point of two crystal facets and two sides. This window is located at the top of the crystal, on it’s point, where crystals emit their distinct frequencies. Since the crystalline formation itself, it's precise repeating pattern, is what makes up the crystals individual energetic frequency, then a crystal with a pyramid missing is going to have somewhat of a different energy than another crystal.
This is why I get so excited to find these rare gems, if you haven’t already went and inspected all of your raw crystal points, go check. I believe crystals find you and if you happen to have one of these in your collection, or if you are drawn to these, there is a reason.
If you have a practice working with crystals, I would strongly recommend meditating with a window crystal and see what comes out of the window to YOUR soul.
In my meditations with window crystals, when I meditated with the intention “What is your window for? Show me”, I was brought back to my childhood, sitting on the top bunk of my bedroom I shared with my sisters. On top of the wall, there was a very small door to a closet (yes oddly just a closet about 10’ up the wall), but if I stood up on all of my stuffed animals, I could open the door and pull myself up into this closet and get a bird’s eye view of the room and some much needed space to withdraw.
The next vision I was brought was portholes. My Father’s bedroom used to have portholes as windows, (an actual ship’s portholes- the little round metal kind- my grandfather built the house and was a ship builder). I could see my Dad stepping out onto his porch, again with this birds eye view and the privacy of his own sacred space.
I then saw him at the end of his time on this Earth, battling some chronic pain that limited how much physical tasks he could do, he was stuck in his porthole’d room with just himself most of the time. I remember coming home from work to find him sobbing over buddies he had to leave behind in Vietnam and other war stories.
I understood the meaning of these visions to be that the “Window” of the crystal, is one that transports you to a sacred space inside of you, it is always there, high up and safe away from it all. You can connect with your soul here and you can heal here, when remove yourself from details, from the material, from the distractions of life, when you zoom out and go within.
Part of the work I will be doing with my Window Crystal, is healing from the years of hiding my true self, in order to try and fit in. I am zooming out and going within, acknowledging that I am weird, always was, always will be, and still determined to fully love and accept myself.
What comes up looking through the window to your soul?
