Stone of the Month February 2022 – Agates
My “service” this month is to tell you about Agates, yes plural. Agates are one of the most abundant kinds of stone on Gaia. “Microscopic crystals of quartz laid down in bands, very stable.” They come in clear or milky white, gray, blue, green, pink, brown, orange, banded, and – beware – often dyed. If it looks too good, bright, perfect! Many have individual names and properties like Blue Lace, Botswana, Fire, Moss, Dendritic, and more. There’s one for every step of the way.

Releasing Expectations – “As with every new year, we want to discuss setting intentions, however, as the energy in 2022 will be moving quickly, we want to stress: going with the flow, accepting outcomes and adapting will be beneficial.”

Reflections on the Year
As we reflect on this last year, we’d like to start off by thanking everyone for their ongoing support. We have been tremendously blessed by our clients and classes. Energetically this year required us to be flexible and go with the flow. We also had to up our self-care to keep up with our output. Above all of the chaos know that these are exciting times we are living in with incredible opportunities. It’s right in front of us. We just have to open our eyes and be willing to see it.

On the topic of gratitude, I had to expand my usual realms of research to find good intel on crystals that can help us. It’s all about how a crystal or stone can raise our vibration generally to allow for gratitude to surface fully into being.
