All right. All right. Well, well, oh my. Yes. Oh, what a pleasure and what a joy it is to be with you – working and exploring with you and loving with you. Welcome.

During this Year of Opportunity, within this the most monumental decade in the history of humankind on Earth, we talk of a Great Awakening. We talk of it now; many will be talking of it as the next several years unfold.

Years ago we suggested that a Great Awakening was coming. It is now upon you. We have talked of this awakening as a tri-polar energy attempting to become a uni-polar force.

We have suggested that the Domain of the Spiritual is awakening. At the dew line of its consciousness, the Enlightened Beings and the Exceptional Ones from all ages and the Shining Ones of Sirius herald the return of the Goddess and of the Light She brings.

The field of play – Earth, called Gaia by some – is awakening. At her dew line of consciousness, crystals awaken, demanding to participate – demanding to be part of the creation of a New World that is now destined to be.

The complexity of individuality is awakening. At its dew line of consciousness, those such as you – the Mapmakers and Magicians of your current age – awaken more deeply than you have awakened before.

A tri-polar energy – the Shining Ones of Sirius, Crystals and their consciousness, and Mapmaking Magicians – is coming together, attempting to become a uni-polar force. Yes, there is a Great Awakening about. Yes, there is a Great Awakening happening. And you are part of it. You are part of the equation; you are part of the mix.

And out of it all, crystals are coming alive in your reality. You are reawakening your old wisdom as well as your ancient arcane mastery and artistry. You are awakening your crystal workings once again. Many crystals that you once knew in Lemuria – the Land That Imagination Forgot – and in Atlantis – the Land That Was Lost though it was never forgotten – are coming back to you. They are coming, once again, to be in your keeping and under your guardianship.

So we offer you a means of welcoming. We offer you this conscious reading-meditation to do when you come upon a new crystal or to do with a crystal already within your keeping. Before you continue, get that new or to-be-renewed crystal. Have in near. Have it close. Have it there before you.

And now relax. Relax as you read these words. Relax.

Be conscious of your breathing as your eyes gaze gently upon the page. Relax. Slow your breathing. Relax … Slower … Relax …

Slower … still … slower … still …

Hush.

Eyelids heavy. Be still. Enter the hush. Enter the silence. Enter. Still.

Eyelids heavy, eyes partly closed. Be still. Enter the hush. Enter the silence. Enter. Still. Enter …

Imagine.

In the hush, in the stillness, imagine. In the gentle gaze, behind the quiet haze, imagine.

Imagine that you are in your safe place. Allow your imagining, rich with thought and feeling, to flow as you sense yourself there. You are there. In your safe place, you are there. Imagine.

Imagine. Open your senses one by one or several at a time. Sense the colors, sense the shapes, of the sky and earth and of the terrain – of all that is in between. Imagine. Imagine the lights and the shadows. Open to the sights of safety.

Imagine. Open to the subtle sounds – to sounds that ears may not hear. Listen. Listen to the sounds of safety.

Imagine. Open to the gentle bouquet – to the fragrance – to the smells of safety.

Yes, touch … taste.

Imagine the touch and taste of safety.

And you are safe. And you are safe. Safe.

As your eyes traverse these words, you are safe. And you can feel it now, can’t you? You can feel the presence of your Higher Self. All around, within and without, you sense the presence of your Higher Self. You can feel it now. You can sense them now. However vivid or vague, you sense your Higher Self with you. Let it happen; let it be.

They touch you.

Your Higher Self touches you. They touch your heart, and you feel a gentle pressure there upon your sternum bone. They touch your mind, and you feel a gentle pressure there upon your brow. Feel it. Allow it. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine.

In a moment your eyes will fully close, and while you slowly count seven deep and rich breaths, your Higher Self will deepen your senses. When you open your eyes again, your sensing will be deeper. Richer. More profound.

Close your eyes. Your eyes close and you count …

With a gentle gaze you see these words again. In a silent haze, you see these words again. Imagine.

Turn your eyes to that crystal now. Slowly, you embrace it with your hands. Hold it tenderly. Hold it gently.

Speak to the crystal with your eyes. In the hush, speak with your touch. Speak with your eyes. Say what you want to say. Say from your heart and mind; speak with your eyes and touch.

Now …

Touch the majesty and magnificence. Open your senses to the majestic and the magnificent of this stone – of this consciousness in crystalline form. Open your senses to this crystal as you did to your safe place. Open to the sight, sound, and smell of its majesty; open to the touch and taste of its magnificence. Experience.

Sense a personal connection and a personal relationship between you two. Know that you can work together. You have found each other. You have found each other for the first time, or you have found each other once again. Open to the sight, sound, and smell of this connection; open to the touch and taste of this union and reunion.

A feeling comes, and thoughts begin to flow. … There are treasures and precious gifts waiting for you. When you and this crystal work as one, there are so many truths to be revealed and treasures to be unveiled. There are so many gifts that can precipitate from dream to reality – from creation to manifestation. There is a bounty in this connection. Welcome it. Welcome it.

Now there comes an alignment. You can sense it, can’t you? Wait. Be still.

You can sense it, can’t you?

Feel the alignment of consciousness between you at the dew line of human consciousness and this crystal at the dew line of Earth consciousness. You are a consciousness who has chosen a human vehicle to express and reflect who you truly are. This crystal is a consciousness, too. This crystal is a consciousness that has chosen a crystalline vehicle to express and reflect who it truly is.

Say hello. Say it with your touch; say it with your eyes. From the depth of your heart and mind, say hello.

Now lift the crystal to touch your sternum bone, and let it touch your heart. If it is too large to lift, lower yourself to allow this majestic one to touch your heart. Listen. Be touched.

Now lift this crystal to touch your brow, and let it touch your mind. Or lower your head – bow – to allow this magnificent one to touch your mind. Listen. Be touched.

Imagine.

Imagine.

Imagine.

Sense that ‘something more’ between you. Experience beyond where words have been and beyond where words can go.

Experience.

And say, ‘Hello.’

When you are ready, take a sharp and strong breath.

Breathe!

Open your eyes wide and full. You are awake. You are awake. You are awake in ways beyond what you may know. You are awake!

You are back here in the room with pages in your hand. Be awake. Be alert, alive, vibrantly awake, alert, and alive.

This reading-meditation can become a personal ritual for welcoming the crystals that come to you for keeping and for your guardianship. Just as you can use this method to personally welcome a new or renewed crystal, you can also use this means to say goodbye to a crystal.

From time to time, you will know that your watch is over. You know that it is time for this crystal to move along, to be kept and guarded by another. Often you express this knowing by giving a gift of a crystal to a friend. You can say goodbye to a crystal in a similar fashion.

As you acknowledge crystals – as you honor them with respect–they will acknowledge, honor, and respect you. Then the magic you can work …

Ah, the magic you can work together can be majestic. It can be magnificent. It can be the high magic that is sourced – not resourced, but sourced – in love, and whose only technique is choice.

It can be a magic beyond compare; it can be a magic beyond words.

Welcome.

As we close, we welcome you.

With love and peace,
Lazaris
