The Water Crystal
Over the past couple of weeks, I've been journeying with three crystal beings who came forward to offer their energy and support during a sacred fast. When I prepare for a fast, I don’t do it alone. I bring in crystal allies to make the experience easier, so that I can focus my attention inward, rather than being distracted by any physical discomfort.
I listened for the stone beings who would help me with what has always been my biggest challenge during a fast—my thirst, especially in the first few hours. But this time was different. I completed the fast without the gnawing thirst I usually experience as the sun goes down. It was the first time ever I felt fully supported in this way—not just physically, but spiritually. These crystals didn’t just hold space for me—they reminded me of my own inner resilience.
The crystals were Aquamarine, Apatite and Copal. If you are having any struggles with thirst, during a fast or otherwise, think about inviting them in for support in feeling hydrated.
🌊 Aquamarine: The Water Crystal
This water-aligned crystal has often been my companion during breathwork, helping to gently open the airways and soften the flow of breath through the body.
In my recent experience with it, Aquamarine shared its water medicine. It reminded me that we are bodies of water, and that there are inner wells we can tap into when outer resources are limited.
🔷 Apatite: The Crystal of Hunger and Purpose
Apatite is another amazing stone beings. It is often overlooked—not getting the attention it deserves. Its name gives you a clue to its gifts — it speaks to appetite, but not just physical hunger. Yes, it has helped me naturally curb physical cravings (a wonderful bonus during a fast or anytime), but its deeper gift lies in illuminating a soul hunger—that longing for purpose and connection.
In my own journey, Apatite helped me not just cope with hunger, but understand it. It guided me inward to ask: What am I really yearning for? Because when we name our soul's hunger, something magical happens—it begins to dissolve. In its place, we find direction… and a renewed purpose.
🧡 Copal: The Crystal of Healing and Integration
If you've followed my journey, you’ve heard me speak of this sacred being before. A hardened tree resin, Copal holds the energy of the forest, the trees, and ancient Earth wisdom.
Why bring Copal into this crystal triad?
The word “Copal” breaks apart into something interesting: cope-all. And that's exactly what it offers us. A way to cope with all that comes with transformation.
Sap is the tree’s natural band-aid—a healer and protector. In this same way, Copal is the energetic glue that binds the watery energy of Aquamarine with the gift of Apatite to heal the soul’s hunger. It’s an integrator, helping us hold the energetic shifts that the other crystals awaken. I realized, quite spontaneously, that Copal glues energy together—what a beautiful metaphor for its medicine.
Even now, after years of deep connection with this stone, I’ve learned something new about it.

If you feel called to experience this for yourself, I invite you to call in:
