Collection: The Power Within Collection

This small collection features stunning rose cut blue kyanite, selenite, clear quartz and a beautifully formed butterfly.

I was inspired by the beauty of these pieces of blue kyanite as well as their meaning. Blue kyanite is a very powerful throat chakra stone, but what captured my attention most when reading about its properties is that it is one of the only stones that does not take on negative energy. When I read that I immediately thought of boundaries and how difficult it can be to set them in a healthy way without perpetuating the cycle of harm that permeates so many aspects of our lives.

Often when we set boundaries we do it by pushing against. We push because we haven't allowed ourselves to fully own who we are and what is right for us. If we don't fully own who we are we feel threatened, often unconsciously, and push against what seems to be invading our space. Pushing against, though, subtly perpetuates the paradigm of "power over', which is something many of us want to let go of. We want to let things that aren't for us bounce off of us or simply pass us by. We want to treat the expectations of others like a "loose garment" wearing it when it feels right and letting it simply fall off our shoulders when it doesn't. This takes practice and reminders.

The pieces in this collection are meant to serve as reminders that we are allowed to set our own boundaries based on what we know is right for us. They're reminders to bravely let things pass by instead of engaging in a way that brings us more of the same things that we no longer have space for.
