Dear Seekers and IX Keepers,
As the calendar turns to 2022, the energies of winter continue to draw us into reflection. Yet the daylight is expanding, offering illumination.
Our theme this month is commitment, and we have filled this issue with articles to help you uncover your passions and strengthen your resolve. In your reflections, we invite you to include a commitment to Mother Earth. Her endless gifts include our beautiful Crystals, offered to us as vibrant expressions of her art and heart. Crystals support us with their stable strength, teach us to see with clarity and help us crystallize our commitments. As Mother Earth gives to us, let us remember to give back to her as well.
It is our greatest hope that this month’s Compass nourishes your consciousness with inspiration and content designed for your body, mind, and spirit on your journey of growth. We are here, with you and for you, throughout 2022 and beyond.

IX CRYSTAL - TERRA
About the Name
The name Terra means Earth or land.
About the Crystal
Terra is one of the IX Master Crystals. She’s an exquisite Clear Quartz Sphere with a diameter of 59 centimeters (23 inches). Terra represents the Earth element at IX and lives with her partner Luna, who represents the Moon.
Clear Quartz is the “stone of light.” It amplifies the connection between the physical and the universal energy of Spirit, reminding us that we are always connected. Clear Quartz can absorb, store, release, and regulate energy. It is excellent for clearing blocks that keep us from the clarity of higher truth. Clear Quartz is considered one of the most powerful stones, able to help replenish a state of bliss and harmony to all who wear, work, pray, and meditate with it.
Message from Terra
“I am beauty in motion. I am sparks of imagination and intuition swirling around in timeless motion.
“When you hold me or work with me you will feel a sense of inner movement. You will want a natural and compelling expansion in your life and in your thoughts. It is a time in our Earth plane existence to expand our thinking, our stagnant thoughts. It is a time to connect with others on a powerful and positive note. It is time for an upward swell of positive force to sweep away limiting thoughts. It is time to take our thoughts away from our individual lives and flow with more connectivity.
“Dance with me. Move with me. Follow the rhythm of the heavens. Work together to create more heavenly moments on earth. It is beautiful to connect to each other.”
Affirmations from Terra
“I am beauty in motion.”
“My life and thoughts are constantly expanding.”
“I connect with the energy around me with ease.”
