A Broader Perspective and Hawk's Eye

[Guest guest]

Good Morning!

 

A Broader Perspective and Hawk's Eye

 

Limited views and opinions are stifling. They detach us from reality,

decrease our awarenss and shut down our mind. We all have a limited

view of some areas of our life. Gaining a broader perspective is self

awareness. Being able to open up your mind, allowing a free flow of

thoughts and ideas can be liberating. Welcoming a new opinion or way

of doing something can bring new meaning to your life. If you give up

your closed thouughts and make way for a different opinion, you may

be suprised at the outcome.

 

Hawk's Eye

 

Properties: This stone, also called Falcon's Eye helps us to gain

perspective, to see (and face) situations fully. Hawk's Eye is the

stone of vision, insight and psychic awareness. It allows us to see

the overview clearly and unflinchingly, as from a Hawk's eyes. This

stone is often used to balance pessimistic behavior and therefore

dissolves negative energy and the thought patterns associated with

it. This " all seeing stone " allows perspective on any situation and

it can help gently attune the Third Eye and will enhance psychic

abilities such as clairvoyance. It helps us to look at an emotional

block that may be buried deep in our psyche. This versatile stone can

be used to heal earth energy and helps us to become grounded when

used at the Root Chakra. This stone should be used for those who want

to blame others for their problems and are not able to look at their

problems directly. Hawk's Eye can be found in colors including:

 

Blue: Deepens meditation. helps us see the truth (self, others,

situations) in order to grow. It can help gently attune the Third Eye

and will enhance psychic abilities.

 

Gray: is the color of individuals. It gives off the impression that

you are self-sufficient and have good self-control and prefer to be

uninvolved. Gray is associated with independence, self-reliance, and

acts as a shield from influence. However, gray gives off a negative

feeling and can make a person who is around this color frequently,

feel lonely and self-critical. Gray takes on many of the

characteristics of black and white since it is a combination of the

two.

 

Green: Helps strengthen the heart and our emotional connections

between the Heart Chakra and our mind. This has a strong connection

to nature.

 

Folk Remedies: This crystal is recommended for improving circulation,

bowel movements, legs and a psychosomatic feeling of a stiff neck,

frozen shoulder or pit in the throat (Plum Pit Qi).

 

Feng Shui:Hawk's Eye is used primarily in the Southeast (Wealth)

corner as it attracts abundance.

 

History: Hawk's Eye is a variation of the quartz family, (SiO2). When

quartz becomes imbedded between the fibers of crocidolite, the

process results in two crystals; blue, green, gray crystals called

Hawk's Eye or the golden brown crystal called Tiger's Eye. Found

primarily in mines in South Africa, it has recently been more and

more difficult to get tiger's eye here. Alternative mines include

those from Griqualand West. Hawk's Eye (and its variations) where

used by Roman soldiers in battle for protection. It's appearance was

thought to be all seeing due to its appearance as the " eyes of a hawk

or falcon " .
