Transmute To Become Better With Time

Our Divine Download for December 1, 2024 is Ammolite/Better With Time from The Illustrated Crystallary. A long time ago, when the mountains were oceans, a cephalopod called an ammonite made its home in a spiral shell on the ocean floor. It's she'll was much like the shell of a snail or a conch, lovely in its spiral form but otherwise unremarkable. When the ocean receded, these cephalopods failed to recede with it. Their remains were fossilized in what became a mountainside. The pressures of time and the soil matrix of the mountain caused their chemistry to shift, becoming opalescent and sparkling. Time changes everything, Ammolite knows. What in your life needs spaciousness and time so it can become a jewel? Like the nautilus shape of the ammonite shell, our lives are an ever-expanding spiral. We pass through the same lessons, growing and expanding with each return. These become the core themes of our life as well as opportunities for growth. In the midst of a cycle, it can be hard to see your own patterns. In retrospect we can often come to greater understanding. We tend to think that animals stay animals and minerals stay minerals. But this is the short view! Geological time knows otherwise. Pine trees fossilize and hard into Jet: lava's liquid fire solidifies to glassy Obsidian: your own bones turn into crystalline, growing a mineral called Apatite. Begin consciously noticing transmutations in your everyday life. Watch water become steam, paper become ash. How can you use these transmutations metaphorically and in ritual to support your own growth?

The pressures of time and every day life can definitely take their toll on our physical body and we can relax and restore with an Integrative Reiki Session. Schedule Your Integrative Reiki Session TODAY: Book Your Session HERE!
