Scottish Greenstone or Iona Marble
Highly beneficial to boost deep meditation and spirituality
Hi there and welcome to my latest newsletter. I trust you are all well.
Today’s edition focuses on Scottish Greenstone also known as Iona Marble.
This stone is known as Scottish Greenstone because depending on where it is comes from it may or may not be from the area of the sea around the beautiful Iona island.
So here is a little history about the island of Iona. Mining was stopped on Iona some time ago, but there are still some divers who bring genuine stone up from the seabed around the island.
In addition stone with a similar energy is found in areas of Scotland close to Iona. This island has a beautiful energy as in ancient times the island of Iona was in use by druids who lived there for a very long time.
These druids are known to have carried out ceremonies that permeated the island with a strong quite peaceful, magical and mystical energy.
The Irish Abbot Columba was a renowned poet (later named a Saint) who settled on the island in 563 AD with 12 of his followers.
It is said that when he was looking for a place to settle after he chose exile from Ireland, that he decided to live here after looking at various areas of Scotland.
I would think that the reason for choosing this place to settle was that he recognized the strong positive, calming and quite mystical energy when he visited there.
He left Ireland after bloodshed caused by his actions. This was triggered when he copied sections of the gospel, which was not allowed by the church at the time.
He felt he should leave to prevent the bloodshed but he later returned to Ireland but spent much of his life in Scotland.
Columba helped to set up a monastery on Iona and from then on his followers lived there, with the monks spreading their religion to the people of Scotland from this base.
Many of the monks in the monastery lived their lives in silent contemplation, as the energy of the island with its deep sacred vibration was powerful to bring peace of mind and harmony and encouraged a deep connection with Spirit.
Scottish Greenstone commonly helps you to experience deeper meditation. The vibration that these crystals embody can help you to more easily enter the silence and travel to the higher realms.
Part of making this connection to the energy of this place relates to a need to reach out to spirit. If during meditation you ask the Divine to create this connection, you may be taken to a space where you can allow this vibration to help you to make a connection to this powerful energy.
This island embodies a strong magical mystical energy and you can connect to this by using these stones in a crystal meditation, by holding them in your hand or placing them nearby.
Scottish Greenstone will assist you to make a connection within the crown chakra which is the highest chakra in the body and can aid you to bring the energy down through your entire energy system.
The vibration of these stones may also connect you up to the etheric chakras, including the soul star chakra which will aid the flow down to the crown chakra.
Pendants like the one pictured above have a flat back, and this is beneficial as they sit against your skin, allowing the stone’s vibration to easily move into your energy system.
Wearing them may also help you to connect with spirit guides or teachers in the higher realms too.
This connection may help with the development of mystical gifts and may aid work with supernatural practices through a connection with spiritual teachers.
These stones have a lovely calming energy that will energize both the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra and is a good stone to use to place under the pillow to create improved sleep.
