Crystal Oversoul: New Earth Attunements by Michael Eastwood
And so the journey continues…The Crystal Oversoul Attunements, published by Findhorn Press, explored 44 crystalline beings of consciousness through a series of mandalas, meditations and writings on their role in our unfolding journey. This set is a continuation, an extension of that journey starting with card number 45 continuing to card 66, and includes audio recordings that accompany each of the attunements.
While Michael Eastwood was writing Crystal Oversoul Attunements, the Oversouls made it known that cards 1 to 44 would need to be released first, and that cards 45 to 66 should follow later. When he enquired as to why the cards 45 to 66 would need to wait, they answered “the first 44 mandalas and writings explore humanity’s evolutionary on-going journey from the end of one cycle into another entirely new paradigm. The first 44 mandalas supported humanity’s initiation known as the Great Turning of 2012 that would in itself birth the New Earth”. Michael understands this to mean that, once humanity’s initiation had been passed, the next set of Oversouls could be born.
The new Oversouls could only make themselves visible through our understanding once the initiation had occurred and been integrated.The Oversouls further enhanced upon this: “Each of the attunements that make up the information in this set are in their own way here to help you as you navigate your way through the energies of the New Earth. You will notice times when your life-force feels stuck, heavy or restricted – each of the Oversouls are here to support you through these times. For these unsettling or deeply uncomfortable feelings are signals that your energy has slipped back or has been pulled back by the energies of the Old Earth. The attunements are here to assist you getting yourself unstuck, releasing the old energy and getting into the correct dimensional reality.” Here they are, 22 new crystalline mandalas, writings and audio recordings that offer guidance as the New Earth reaches up, unfolds and welcomes us.
Due for release February 2015.

Unfolding Our Light by Michael Eastwood
Based on Michael’s work with the crystal Oversouls, this book exposes a new vision for an awakening humanity that takes into account the changes to the traditional models of the aura and chakras, thus reflecting a major shift in current consciousness.
The book’s introduction explores a particular experience of the aura and with it communications the author encountered as a child. This experience connected him directly to light-beings and their guidance. The author then researched the subject throughout his life.
Unfolding Our Light offers a structured and experiential approach to personal, group and collective initiations, which support an entirely new way of working with crystal consciousness, aligning us to an increased oscillation between the auric field and our tangible reality. It follows the light-beings’ message:
“You and many others are here in this lifetime for a specific purpose. You are ancient multi-dimensional luminous beings that in ancient days came from Lemuria and before then, the stars. Since Lemuria many of you have been asleep, still incarnating but without your full capacities or knowledge of your vastness. This is mirrored in your chakra and auric layers. In Lemuria your vastness was reflected through at least ten layers of your aura as well as ten chakras, awakened and fully operational. In this lifetime humanity, as well as all kingdoms of this planet, will awaken from this slumber through an initiation – the like that has not been since since Lemurian times. This initiation will activate the ten layers of your aura as well as all ten chakras. Through this you and humanity will remember union with the wider universe. This human initiation will be keenly watched by the inner planes as well as other star worlds – it involves them too.”
