Because Saffordite is metaphysically known for dissolving implants, negative patterns, and emotional blockages, it is the perfect tool for the “End of Cycle” energy of the Number 9.
Here is a specific meditation practice using nine Saffordite stones, designed to help you (or your clients) cross that threshold.
The “Threshold of Truth” Meditation (Using 9 Stones)
Objective: To close a karmic cycle, dissolve an old timeline, and prepare the energy body for a new beginning (The 1).
Required: 9 Saffordite stones (ideally similar in size, though the 9th can be larger).
1. The Layout: “The Ennead Circle”
The number 9 represents the completion of a cycle. To harness this, you will not place the stones on the chakras, but rather create a container around you.
- Step 1: Find a quiet space where you can sit in meditation (Lotus position or in a chair).
- Step 2: Place 8 Saffordite stones in a circle around you.
- Imagine a clock face on the floor. Place stones at the cardinal points (North, South, East, West) and the cross-points (NE, SE, SW, NW).
- This creates the vibration of the 8 (The Infinite/Karma). You are sitting inside the karmic loop.
- Step 3: Hold the 9th Saffordite stone in your hands (cupped in your lap) or press it against your Heart Center.
- This 9th stone is the “Key.” It represents You breaking the loop and turning the 8 (Infinity) into the 9 (Completion).
2. The Visualization: “Burning the Velvet”
Saffordite is often associated with a high-velocity, violet/purple flame energy.
- Close your eyes and ground yourself. Feel the circle of 8 stones around you, creating a protective barrier.
- Ignite the Perimeter: Visualize the 8 stones on the floor lighting up with a violet or deep amber glow (the color of translucent Saffordite). Visualize this light connecting stone-to-stone, creating a ring of fire around you.
- The Threshold: Acknowledge what you are ready to release. (e.g., “I am releasing the poverty mindset,” or “I am releasing this past relationship.”)
- The Transmutation: Focus on the 9th stone in your hand. Imagine it acting as a vacuum. Visualize it pulling the “smoke” of that old pattern out of your aura.
- The Release: As the 9th stone absorbs the density, imagine it shooting a beam of light upward, sending that energy back to the Great Central Sun to be recycled. You are not just dumping the energy; you are completing it.
3. The Affirmation of the 9
While holding the 9th stone, repeat this mantra, which aligns with the vibration of the Threshold:
“I honor the cycle that is ending.
I transmute the lessons into wisdom.
I stand at the threshold of the new.
It is finished. It is done.”
4. Closing the Circle
- Place the 9th stone down in front of you (completing the circle or placing it atop the stone at “North”).
- Bow forward to seal the practice.
- Collect the stones counter-clockwise (widdershins) to “unwind” the energy you just released.
- Cleanse the stones immediately. Saffordite is a workhorse and will hold that heavy “9 energy” until cleared (water, smoke, or sound).
Why this works Metaphysically
- The Stone: Saffordite is believed to be ancient obsidian with tektite qualities, thus with a connection to the “Star People” or higher consciousness. It doesn’t just “ground” energy; it evolves it.
- The Number: By sitting inside the 8 and holding the 9, you physically enact the transition from “Karma” (8) to “Wisdom” (9). You become the master of your own circle.
The nine Saffordite stones became a sacred circle of passage, embodying the vibration of Number 9, and guided you to release, complete, and step gracefully into new beginnings.
