In the spring of 2018, I experienced a shift. I had been involved with some very intense inner work and something happened that I wasn't expecting. I was deeply hurt and unsure about how to move past it. I was left wondering what lesson could possibly be so valuable that I had to endure this.

I decided that what the situation needed was clarity. Just two weeks prior, I had been guided to pick up 18 pieces of tumbled quartz. I was unsure as to why, but have learned the hard way that it's best not to question these things. Now, I understood.

I created a grid, using a clear quartz point and 13 tumbled quartz pieces. I placed them on a granite circle, as this would help focus the energy of the crystals as well as my intent. I left this on my altar and within 2 days, I began to feel better. Within a week, the answers started coming forward. Within two weeks, I understood why things had progressed the way they had and what I needed to do next.

I realize that I am extremely fortunate to have had the means to cultivate such an amazing crystal collection. I want you to know that if you seek clarity, you can do so with a single piece of clear quartz in whatever form you prefer (point, raw, tumbled, cluster) and a white tealight candle. Place the quartz and candle in a safe place where it will not be disturbed. Light the candle and say,

“Lead me to the tools that I need and the path I need to be on in order to gain the clarity I seek. I am open to all possibilities and am ready to do the work required.”

It is vital that you listen to your intuition. You can be led to a book, film, song, podcast, event, or any number of tools that will help you. But the fact remains that if you aren't willing to follow through, then you will not see results.
