So, on Solstice Day a crystal meditation with a stone associated with Fire because this is one of the special days that this element is up front and personal for all of us! The sun is high in the sky for the longest period of time in the whole year!

Depending on which website you visit, and whose opinion you value, there is a long list of stones that resonate with the Fire Element. My personal favourite is Carnelian, so this is the stone I recommend to use for this exercise.

• Sit with a carnelian in each palm and relax, focussing on your breath, setting the intention that with each in breath you take in the bright, vibrant orange energy of this beautiful stone.
• See or sense this energy flowing in through your palm chakras, up your arms to your shoulders, and from there, flowing out to fill the whole of your body.
• Now set the intention to connect with the Fire energy held by your carnelians. This vibration is different to the vibration of your crystals and you may well become aware of this as you tune in. It is perfectly normal if you feel two separate frequencies! And, also, perfectly normal to only be aware of one… nothing is ever wrong when you work with crystals. There is only ever you and the energy and how you interact with it!
• Now take your awareness to the base chakra and visualise a small flame in the vortex, setting the intention that you want to use the Fire energy in your carnelians to cleanse this chakra. Breathe the energy in to the chakra and place one of the stones at the base chakra to enhance this effectiveness of the exercise.
• After a while, when you get the feeling the cleansing has finished, make the flame bigger, so it expands and rises up to touch the sacral chakra, cleansing it. Also, hold the second carnelian over the chakra, leaving the original one at the base to support the energy of your flame.
• When you get the feeling this chakra had been cleansed, make the flame even bigger, so it expands and rises up to touch the solar plexus chakra, and cleanse it. And, move the carnelian from the sacral chakra to the solar plexus, still leaving the original one at the base chakra to support the energy of your flame.
• Sit with your flame, letting the energy of Fire burn away anything you do not want to carry forward into your next cycle of growth.
• When you have finished, visualise the flame growing smaller and smaller, earth any excess energy in your system and ground. Then thank the Fire Element and your lovely carnelians and return your attention to your body.

If you are familiar with the Violet Flame of Transformation, you can do this exercise with two amethysts and visualise this specific flame, invoking the energy which is held in your two amethysts. It is a Violet Flame crystal.

Have a fantastic day!

Bright Blessings!

“Look at the problems in your life.

Ask yourself, ‘What kind of thoughts am I having that create this?”

Louise Hay

Wise words from a very wise lady… so why have I put them at the top of my blog? Read on….

I know that absolutely nobody likes to think that they are responsible for their own problems. It is, after all, much easier to shift the blame, then it suddenly isn’t your responsibility to sort the mess up. It is, thankfully, up to somebody else. But, with the pressure increasing from Saturn, linked to Pluto, and an intense Summer Solstice looming ahead of us, it is very likely that lots of our own rubbish will be popping up to the surface of our mind – including very, very old rubbish that we thought we had successfully buried years, if not, lifetimes ago. And, unfortunately, it is our job to sort out the mess, no one else’s!

So, think about the Louise Hay quote during your meditations. The only way forward during this intense shift if extreme self-care and, most importantly, extreme self-responsibility. So, although some of the things in our lives are generated by others, or unfortunate outside circumstances, there is still every chance that some of it has been created by the thought and behaviour patterns we have embedded very deeply inside our head! Time to take a good long, hard look at them and start to clear the ones that are no longer helpful.

One way to do this is to use amethyst because it helps you to connect to your intuition and your own innate inner wisdom – two parts of you that are more than qualified to help you out of any mess you might find yourself in!

All you have to do is set a very clear intention when you work with this impressive crystal, stating that you want to see exactly what you need to do to clear all the unhelpful energy you have been storing in your Four Body System. Or, of course, the stuff you are still actively generating. We are very, very good at doing that!

Amethyst is excellent for this kind of work because when you meditate with it – and consciously co-create your healing with your stone – it will always help you identify the root causes of any negative behaviour, or all those negative thought patterns you have running around in your head! This is useful because it allows you to make a conscious effort to clear them. It brings deep understanding, so you can see what you are doing and, more importantly, why you are doing it. This is helpful because it is likely that you will be responding in a fear-based way, but, as soon as you know the name of your fear, you can start to find a way to deal with it.

The other thing amethyst is good at doing is showing you the reality of cause and effect. It will help you really understand on a very deep level that when you do or say or even think something, there is always a result. So, the more negative thoughts you have, the more negative results will follow.

This isn’t rocket science!! It is, unfortunately, just the way the world works… like attracts like every single time. So, when you start to fully appreciate this fact, it makes you extremely mindful about what you think, say and do! It is the start of a very powerful process which will enable you to change the way you see yourself and the world around you.

The other huge benefit of working with amethyst comes from its colour. Every single one of them contain the energy of the Violet Flame of Transmutation, which is enormously helpful if you want to clear things out of your mind… or anywhere else in the Four Body System.

So, what do you need to do? The answer is so easy it’s almost ridiculous – just lie down, place the amethyst on your brow chakra, set your intention and simply let the stone work.

Allow your amethyst to show you how you are shooting yourself in the foot – and, believe me, we are all extremely good at doing this in the most devious and subtle ways! And, once the violet energy of the stone has stilled your mind and, hopefully, stopped at least some of your thoughts, you can ask for guidance about how you can start to change the patterns that are holding you in such negative places. The knowledge can come from your intuition, a higher aspect of yourself (High Self or Soul), or one of your helpers and guides if you have asked them to join you.

Or, how about this for a radical thought – you are perfectly capable of figuring it out for yourself! You are an empowered, wise, fabulous being. Most times you’ve just forgotten!! Is it time for you to start remembering?

Another way to work with the amethyst vibration is to place it at the crown. Set the intention that you want the high frequency energy emitted by the crystal to fill the chakra and cleanse it and then change your intention. On the in breath draw the energy down from the crown into the central channel and on the out breath push it out through the brow chakra – front and back vortex – to cleanse it. Then ask to become aware of what you need to do to help yourself move forward on your journey, to take more and more steps towards wholeness and just keep breathing.

Then when you have finished, to clear the whole of your system, draw the amethyst vibration down to each of the other chakras in turn on your in breath and send the energy out with the intention of clearing each vortex in turn. You will feel great, energetically speaking, at the end of it!

If you want to utilise the Violet Flame energy held within this very powerful stone, all you have to do is change your intention and breathe in this potent energy, asking it to burn anything away which no longer serves your greatest and highest good. Then just sit with the stone and draw the energy in to what ever part of your Four Body System you want to cleanse. Or what ever chakra you want to cleanse and allow all the rubbish to float away on your out breath.

You can also ask The Angels of the Violet Flame to help you while you are working and they will be more than happy to do this. You would work with them as you would any other helper or guide.

So, as you can see, there are many ways to start shifting all the rubbish that will inevitably be coming up… at least until the Summer Solstice. All you have to do is decide exactly what you want to do about it. It’s always your choice whether you work or not, and you are the one who decides how much work you are willing to do to become whole and embody every part of your very powerful Authentic Self.

So, it’s all up to you now!

Bright Blessings!

As such a ridiculous amount of stuff is coming up to be released at the moment, especially since we are right in the middle of working with Saturn and Pluto – structure, stability and karma, together with the deep unconscious…. how lovely for us all!

But, these two planets together means that it will probably be really, really old stuff, that we’ve been trying to ignore!! And, there is a good chance that we will also have done our very best to avoid dealing with it for years and years. But, since it has to go eventually, why not make it a little easier, by working with some crystals to enhance the release process and keep you in a safe, secure space while you are getting rid of all your rubbish?

Some of the things coming up will be memories, so if any unpleasant or painful ones are plaguing you, set aside some time to let them go. All you will need is two pieces of rose quartz and a hematite.

First set a very clear intention to release with ease and grace any memories which are keeping you connected to past experiences, people, places, especially ones that no longer serve your highest and greatest good. Then, place a hematite between your feet to keep you safe, secure and grounded and hold a rose quartz in each hand, focussing on your breath until you are in a nice relaxed state.

Then just ask for any memories that you are ready to release at the time you are working to come to the surface of your mind and add another intention to breathe them out, letting them float away on your outbreath, along with all the painful and negative energy that is associated with them. Just keep breathing until you feel the release is complete and, if you want to, you can move on to the next memory straight away. Or wait and do it later. It’s whatever suits you!

Although, this is one of the standard release exercises, if you feel the memory you want to clear might be a bit difficult to deal with, swap the rose quartz in each hand for lepidolite. This is known as the Stone of Acceptance, so it will help you come to terms with any thoughts and feelings that come up if they are likely to upset you. Also, since lepidolite has a high lithium content, it is perfect to help you deal with any form of stressful reaction. So, this lovely stone will keep you nice and calm and peaceful while you are working. You may find it is better than the rose quartz. Try both and see what is best for you!

Another thing which may come up is uncomfortable feelings. If they fill your mind at any point, you can use clear quartz, rose quartz or amethyst to clear them. Hold one of the stones… or indeed all of them, if this appeals to you … close to your heart chakra and set the intention to breathe out the negativity and breathe into your heart the high frequency vibrations emitted by the quartz.

Or, if you fancy something a bit different, make a circle using these three stones, alternating them as you go round, and sit inside the circle while you breathe up the energy from all those crystals. This will increase the amount you are able to release in one go and, if you want to hold some additional stones close to your heart while you are working, this is absolutely fine as well. The more comfortable you are while you work, the less likely you are to resist the release process, and you will be able to let go of a lot more negativity.

If you find you have any anger coming up for release, it always best to calm yourself before you let it go. A quick and easy way to do this is to hold a piece of blue lace agate and take a whole series of slow, deep breaths with the intention of allowing the intense emotion to float away on your breath. You can also allow the excess energy you have generated by experiencing this emotion to earth through your feet and flow safely into the ground. It will take about 5 minutes to calm down and then you can choose one of the other release exercises to get rid of the memories associated with the feeling.

Of course, there are many, many different ways to release negativity with crystals… and, any other kind of vibrational therapy also works.

Reiki is good, especially if you use symbols, working with helpers and guides is great because they will keep you safe and secure while you work and they support you if things become difficult; and sound is absolutely excellent. You can even do something as simple as colour breathing. You set the intention to breathe out your negativity and breathe in the colour you want to replace it.

All you really have to do is find what works best for you and run with it.

My advice – try absolutely everything because it is all good and you will always feel better afterwards!

Bright Blessings!

I intended to do crystal tips for the throat ages ago because the throat is highlighted for the whole of 2019. Now the year is almost half gone, so I thought I’d better find a few tips for clearing throat chakra issues before the year disappears completely. Things may be coming up now because we have the combined (and very powerful) energy of Saturn and Pluto working together to bring about a massive clearing of all our systems – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Absolutely nothing is exempt!

To clear a blocked throat chakra – place a sodalite on each side of the throat and use lapis lazuli on the chakra to cleanse it. Keep the crystals in place for as long as you feel you need to. Or you can simply use a Lapis on the throat on its own. It will still work… just a little differently without the sodalite. You’ll know what is best for you!

Layout to help the throat – Keep the crystals in place for as long as you feel you need to.

• Single terminated clear quartz at the brow chakra – point upwards
• lapis lazuli at the throat
• smoky quartz at the solar plexus

To strengthen your voice – use carnelian at the throat chakra and if possible wear it as a necklace so the energy is available continually to clear the vortex.

Another useful stone to work with is chrysocolla. This stone brings the throat and heart chakras into balance because it carries both the blue and green rays. Its key phrase is sacred sound and it is the expression of the heart through the throat. So, this makes it an enormously powerful stone for any kind of clearing work. You can use it on each chakra individually, or if you have two pieces, use it on both chakras at the same time.

Also, always remember that the throat chakra is more than just the chakra of verbal communication, it is a channel for the expression of all the energy you hold in your entire system – chakras, the aura and the subtle bodies. It acts as a pathway for all the things you think and feel to come up and out. Both negative and positive energy will pass up and down your chakra system, ending up at the throat, and it will just stay there until you release it… in many ways, of course.

It’s never just about speaking. The throat chakra is about full self-expression, and that can come in any form e.g. if you are musical, it will clear through when you sing or write or listen to music. Don’t ever let yourself be limited by the idea that this work is only about the voice. If you are a caring person, and caring is important part of who you truly are at a fundamental level, you won’t always be expressing this particular aspect of yourself with your voice. You won’t be speaking about it. You will be getting on and doing it, won’t you?

You need to allow yourself to become aware of every part of you and how this needs to find some kind of expression in your life. There are many aspects of the real authentic you which do not need the voice and it’s about discovering new ways to show the world who you really are and what you are truly capable of… and this chakra is all about being unafraid to do that….. in every conceivable way!! So, if anything is stuck in that throat chakra, you need to clear it, so more of you can come out to play!

To help you do this, you can either work with the crystals shown above or use any blue crystal that appeals to you because that is the frequency held in your chakra system by the throat. And, use your crystals with the very clear intention that you want to find new and exciting ways to communicate – and that is communicate with yourself, communicate others, communicate your ideas and beliefs, communicate on a deep emotional level by finding safe and appropriate ways to express how you feel more clearly.

And, if you feel you need to be in a calm space before you can even think of doing any of this – work with aquamarine. It emits the frequency of peace, so it will help you remain calm while you work your way through all the blockages that come up. Its energy will also help you release the negativity in a gentle way rather than a traumatic way. It is a beautiful stone. It is also a stone associated with water, so it will initiate flow, especially within your emotions, and enhance the whole clearing process.

Lastly, one stone which works well with the throat is turquoise, mainly because the key word associated with it is wholeness. And, since the throat chakra is the way we express every single part of us, well, this is just the perfect energy to place in this charka. You can meditate with it to become aware of:

• blockages in the throat
• blockages elsewhere in the chakra system or the subtle bodies that are affecting the throat
• things you need to change in the way you communicate
• ways you limit your self-expression
• ways you can bring the quality of wholeness into your life
• ways to communicate more easily and freely

Of course, those bullet points are only the beginning. Everyone needs to become whole in their own unique way. But, they may give you a few ideas that you can work with on your own journey towards wholeness. It’s the same journey all of us are one… every single day of our lives.

Bright Blessings!

Quan Yin – Unconditional Love

Aphrodite – Self-Love

Sekhmet – Power

Brigid – Healing and Creativity

Oya – Change, Strength, Authority, Courage, Truth, Protection

Well, there’s a question! If I am completely honest, I was completely and utterly convinced that I would never EVER start working with any goddess, let alone willingly invite their energy into my life. It was just one step too far for someone with a science based view of the world.

I mean I could understand the way healing energy worked. I could certainly appreciate the way crystals and sound worked, but everything else like goddesses, ancestors, angelics… well, that was what other wacky New Age people believed, not me! Well, as it turned out, I was really just as wacky and I hadn’t even noticed!

So, in case you are like I was all those years ago and you need a little encouragement to start doing something way out of your comfort zone, here’s a chakra exercise to help you start your journey with these aspects of the Divine Mother.

If you can’t decide which goddess to work with by choosing one of the words shown on the list above, here’s what their energy feels like…

Quan Yin – is like the very best mother you would ever want. She is loving and kind and compassionate and she will always be there to help you when you need it the most. When you work with her it feels like being held in the arms of someone who loves you very much.

Aphrodite – is not for the faint-hearted because she will challenge you. She will make you look at yourself and find all the ways you do not love yourself. She will also make you acknowledge the fact that you really don’t think very highly of yourself at all. She will show you how you value others, but do not value yourself in the same way. This can be a little shocking at first, but if you persevere, she will change your life in amazing ways, not to mention change your attitude to yourself. She will continue, sometimes relentlessly, until you do truly love yourself.

Brigid – is simply lovely. I could write pages and pages on this goddess. She just arrived at a workshop I was running and never left. She comes with many gifts for you, including Brigid’s Flame (You’ll find a way to work with this on http://crystaldragongail.com/?p=427). She will undoubtedly bring great healing into your life, but not always in the way you expect it!

Sekhmet – is one of my favourite aspects of the Divine Mother. I probably do more work with her than all the others put together and I see such amazing results from people who come to classes and workshops. I just love it. She moves people forward so fast it is quite astonishing to watch! She helps you connect with your unbridled authenticity, and that is such a marvellous phrase… an unbridled horse just runs and runs without anyone to stop it, and Sekhmet teaches you to do the same. She shows you how to be completely free and she does it by connecting you on a very deep level to your Authentic Self, your will and, most importantly, your personal power.

Oya – is a goddess who should probably come with a warning really because change is inevitable when you work with her; and, if you have never worked with a goddess before, I would recommend that you choose one of the others for your first experience of this kind of energy. Oya is a marvellous to work with, though. But, because she works with the energies found in nature and with extreme versions of them … like wind as tornado and water as flood … she brings change fast, and in very real, tangible and powerful ways! And, you can’t stop the process any more than you can stop a flood or tornado! You get the picture! So, you seriously need to want to bring transformation into life in a massive way to work with this great goddess!

So, do whatever you usually do to make an intuitive choice about the best goddess to work with and then set a very clear intention for what you want to achieve while you run the energy of your choice through your chakra system. It is always very good at removing blockages associated with what the goddess does i.e. Aphrodite will clear anything lodged in the chakras associated with lack of self-love, Sekhmet will do the same for anything associated with power issues, Quan Yin will clear anything related to the inability to give and receive love in an appropriate way. You get the idea!

• Relax and focus on your breath.
• Ground FIRMLY.
• Ask your goddess to join you, thank her for coming and take a moment to attune to her energy, allowing your vibrational rate to rise to match hers.
• Now set the intention for your breath work – with the in breath you draw the goddess’s energy in to your solar plexus and on the out breath you release any negative energy it has cleared from where ever you are working in the chakra system. The goddess will usually send her energy from her palms, but just be open to receive it in whatever way it manifests around you.
• Now begin breathing into your solar plexus and continue for as long as you need to and until you feel the chakra has been fully cleansed.
• Now breathe in through the solar plexus and up through the central channel to the heart chakra and continue until the heart has been cleared.
• Now breathe in through the solar plexus and send the energy up to the throat chakra until the throat has been cleared.
• Now breathe in through the solar plexus and send the energy up to the brow chakra until the brow has been cleared.
• Now breathe in through the solar plexus and send the energy up to the crown chakra until the crown has been cleared.
• Now take your awareness to your heart chakra and breathe the energy of your goddess in here until your heart is full of the love this goddess has for you, until your heart is simply over flowing with love and rest in this energy for as long as you want.
• Now earth any excess energy in your system, letting it flow down through your body and out through your feet chakras.
• Now ask your goddess to stabilise your vibrational rate at the most appropriate level for you at this time and let your system settle.
• Thank your goddess, ground firmly and return your attention to the room.

This is such a simply exercise, you can use it for anything really. It is not limited to goddess. You can use colours, healing energies like Reiki or Mahatma, Reiki symbols, angelic light, planetary rays. As, always, the choice is yours! But, whatever you decide to do, it will always raise your vibrational rate as you interact with the energy and let it clear any blockages you currently have in your chakra system.

And, it is not limited to the list of goddesses at the beginning of the blog either. If you have a favourite one, go with her! This is your journey, not mine. I only listed a few of the ones that I like. You are welcome to choose another one!

So, if you’ve never tried goddess energy before, go for it! You’ll love it. I do, despite being unbelievably  reluctant to invite any aspect of the Divine Mother into my life. She got me in the end… well and truly, actually!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!

Well, it seems we are stuck in the middle of a massive spiritual awakening – which, of course, is good, but also challenging. The transitional period, when we move between one vibrational rate and another, is becoming quite painful for some people, mainly because change is usually difficult, especially if we resist it. But change and transformation is no longer coming. It is well and truly here and it’s time to get on with it and let everything go.

The trouble is – how exactly do we do this when we are already worn out, stressed up to our eyeballs and sometimes completely overwhelmed by what we have to do to simply get through the day? So much is coming up for clearance that most days there comes a point when we simply do not know which way to turn anymore and exhaustion and confusion seem to be the only two states we are inhabiting. We are so tired… of absolutely everything!

So, what can we do? Besides dig a big hole, drop down into it and hide until it’s all over…. I mean seriously, some days that does seem like a really good idea! But, it will only help for a little while and, eventually, we will have to drag ourselves out and face what we were trying our very best to avoid and, while we were hiding, it will have got bigger, uglier and harder to deal with. So, it’s always better to just get on with it!

My advice? Take a deep dive into your heart chakra. It’s where we keep most of our rubbish and it is the linkage point between the lower chakras of the physical body (and the very troubling physical world) and the upper chakras of the spiritual realm and our connections to the best help available to us on the earthplane – the higher aspects of ourselves and our helpers and guides. If energy is flowing smoothly in the heart chakra, everything is better…. on every single level.

You can. Of course, work with the energy in your heart chakra in many different ways – the choice is always yours! All of them will be effective, but help is always useful, and some days we need it! And, the feeling of being supported as we move forward into the chaos of transition should never be underestimated. That helps all on its own.

You are free to choose any light being from your support group to help you, but at this particular time, I’d recommend Chamuel, mainly because he works specifically on the pink ray of unconditional love, so it resonates perfectly with the part of the energy system you are working with. All you have to do is ask him to join you when you are sitting quietly and open to receive his energy, letting it flow into your system.

You can read so much about the angelics. There are hundreds of websites, but that is just information absorbed by your mind. Nothing beats just sitting in the energy generated by one of these kind, compassionate beings. After all, at the end of the day – you learn by doing, not by reading books or articles. There always comes a time when you have to take the knowledge you have gained by reading and researching and allow it to turn into wisdom. This is done by taking what you learned and actually using it! Wisdom is the way knowledge applied to all the situations in your life – this is the only way you will grow and expand and shift out of the stuck energy that seems to be everywhere at the moment!

One of the most simple ways is to ask Chamuel to join you. Thank him for coming and take a moment to attune to his energy. It won’t take more than a moment! Then all you have to do is ask him to send his pink ray from his heart to your heart and watch this exquisite frequency flow from his heart chakra, across the gap between the two of you and it will spiral into the vortex in the centre of your chest. Then you have to consider what intention you want to enhance this experience. You’ll know, so just go for it! And, you can make the whole thing even more effective by setting an additional intention for your breath – on the in breath draw Chamuel’s pink ray in to your heart and on the out breath release any negative energy it has dislodged to clear your system. Then you just keep going for as long as you like, remembering to disconnected at the end and thank Chamuel for his help.

Another way to use Chamuel’s pink ray is to ask him to channel it into your crown chakra and down into your central channel – this is the prana tube that surrounds the spine and connects all the chakras. You wait until the channel is completely full of this lovely pink energy and then you add an intention for your breath – on the in breath drawn it into the channel, and on the out breath push it out of the channel into the physical body. Then when the physical body is full, intend that it flows out into the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual body, filling every part of you with the energy of unconditional love. And, since love is the greatest healing modality of all … well, you can figure out the rest for yourself really! You just keep going for as long as you like, and, as before, remember to disconnect at the end and thank Chamuel for his help.

Also, at the end of every session with Chamuel, it is best to ask him to stabilize the whole of your energy system at the most appropriate vibrational rate for you at the time you do the work. You’ll feel much better for it! And, always remember to ground as well!

Chamuel has a group of angelics around him called, unsurprisingly, the Angels of Love. This is a legion of angels who also work with the pink angelic ray and report to Chamuel. These angels, happily for us, specialize in making our lives run more smoothly. This can be enormously helpful in times such as these, so feel free to ask Chamuel to assign one (or more) to you, so they can be with you at all times… for as long as you need them. It will enable you to move though this hugely transformational period with a lot more ease and grace!

One way you can interact with these angelics is to call them in (as you would call Chamuel in) and ask for enough of them to form a circle around you. It is like being completely surrounded by love! You feel safe. You feel secure, and you feel as if you are the most special person in the entire universe!! Just allow the angels to fill the space around you with their energy and sit it in. They will hold it inside the circle for as long as you want, allowing you to feel loved and completely supported. It is especially nice at the end of a long, hard day! I’d even get them to form a circle around your bed at night so you can absorb this wonderful energy while you sleep and wake feeling much, much better in the morning!

Working with Chamuel and his angels reminds us that love is around us at all times. We just lose sight of it when things get difficult. Our vibrational rate is lowered by all the things happening around us and we lose contact with this particular frequency. But, it is so beneficial to us, we really should always take the time to reconnect and these angels are the quickest and easiest way to do it.  So, spend some time with them and allow them remind you that all is well, despite everything you are currently experiencing on the earthplane! Let them to help rise above all the rubbish and bring your awareness back from your head, settling it firmly in your heart where it belongs… where you will know on a very deep level that you are not alone in this, even though, some days, it may feel it!

So, the choice becomes yours – struggle on or ask someone who loves you to join you for a while and help you feel much, much better. I know which one I want… every single time!

Bright Blessings!

We seem to be going through a huge energetic shift at the moment, so grounding is becoming more and more important. Also, grounding repeatedly, even when you think you have done it is becoming more and more necessary. So, even if you think you are connected to the Earth because you completed your usual routine, do check from time to time during the day to make sure you are still safe and secure.

And, to enable you to ensure your connection is stable and you are deeply rooted in the Earth, you may find that clearing the energetic pathways between your base chakra and your feet chakras will help.

Some people ground by extending their prana tube (or central channel) from the base chakra and they visualise it going down into the earth. This does work extremely well, but it only grounds energy. It is better to actually include your physical body in your grounding exercises to enhance the whole of your connection to the Earth – on all levels. And this will work more efficiently if you clear the energy pathway from your base chakra to your feet chakras before you start.

After all, you can visualise all the roots you like coming out of your feet and going down into the earth, but if the system above your feet is blocked, there won’t be much energy actually flowing down into your roots to ground you! Cleaning this section of your system will allow the energy from the base chakra to flow without being interrupted by any blockages you have between there and your feet. Most of us have something, especially in the knees. The knee is connected to fear of moving forward and flexibility and quite a few people are having trouble with both these things at the moment.

So, how do you do this? You will need a double terminated clear quartz – this will have a point at both ends. It is the most efficient and effective way to do this exercise because the stone will draw any negative energy its finds in your legs into its crystalline matrix through both points. It will then transmute it within the matrix and send the positive energy straight back out again to fill the space left by the blockage that has just been cleared. Clever stuff really!

However, if you only have a single terminated quartz, it will still work, but probably not a quickly and you must always ensure the point is facing down to your feet while you are working. This directs the energy in the direction you need it to go – straight down into the Earth. If you are working with a double terminated, you should also have the crystal lying vertically along your leg, so it does the same thing.

You start by cleansing your base chakra, so your energy is ready to flow through it and run down the system into the ground. There are many ways to do this and you know the best way for you, so run with it! If you don’t, you can ask a helper or guide to do it for you, you can use SHK if you are attuned to Reiki,  or you can use a base chakra stone, placing it on the chakra with the clear intention that you want to cleanse the vortex completely with the crystalline energy. When you feel the chakra cleanse is complete you can move on to the rest of the exercise.

The next thing to do is to focus your intention for the exercise.  All quartz is empowered by thought forms – that is to say, the thought you direct – lovingly and gratefully please – towards your crystal will encourage it to do the work with you. It is always a co-creation when you work with a crystal, with both of you working together towards a common goal. You should ask your crystal to help you clear the energetic pathway between your base chakra and your feet chakras so you can enhance your ability to ground firmly in the Earth.

And, then you start to work with your crystal, doing one leg at a time, putting the crystal all along your leg in the following places.

Leave the crystal on each position for as long as you need to clear any blockages you find there.

• The top of the thigh between the base chakra and the thigh chakra
• The lower part of the thigh between the thigh chakra and the knee chakra
• The knee (in the middle of the knee cap) to clear both the knee itself and the knee chakra
• The middle of the shin
• The ankle – with the crystal directed down from the ankle bone towards the foot chakra in the middle of the arch of the foot.
• Under the foot to clear and activate the foot chakra
• Repeat with the other leg
• Thank your crystal and intend to ground and see how much easier it is to do now the energy pathway is clear.

I hope that helps you! It always helps me!

Bright Blessings!

Ideally, we would all like to step into the flow of life rather than resist it. But, for some strange reasons, there are times when we find we are unable to do it. We are stuck… utterly and completely. So here is a way to use carnelian and doing this exercise will bring you – momentum, flexibility, imagination and lightness, which is absolutely perfect as we move nearer and nearer towards spring. We certainly need to be flowing by Beltane on 31^st April/1^st May and this is a good first step towards the energy of that fabulous fire festival! We need to be really ready to go when it arrives!

So, if you fancy letting carnelian help you do this, here is how… and it’s really simple. You can use one stone or seven. If you have one, start at the base chakra and place your carnelian there for as long as you need to. You will feel the energy of flow start after the crystal has cleared the chakra and you will be fully aware of when you need to move it up to the next one, going all the way up to the crown.

However, if you are lucky enough to have seven pieces of carnelian, you can just lie down and put one stone on each chakra and you’re good to go. This is a bit more intense, but it will work in exactly the same way, bringing the same things into each energy centre… just all at once! It might not be the smartest choice if you are feeling a bit fragile. But if you are feeling stuck… it will certainly clear everything out!!

The flowing quality of the energy from your carnelian will allow you to learn how to move on if you are stuck in any unhealthy or unpleasant situations – in the world or just inside your own head!  It will help you flow through them and accept life, despite all the problems that sometimes manifest all around you. It helps you think and react in new ways, which is ultimately what enables you move on.

So, here’s what carnelian does in each chakra, so you can focus your intentions and help the crystal do more work in each energy entre. Be aware of anything the clearing process brings up in case you need to do some more work on it later with another crystal.

Base Chakra: the crystalline energy will bring flexibility to the way you deal with all your physical needs and desires.

Sacral Chakra: This is where carnelian really initiates flow in your system. It allows you to actually start flowing and approach the world around you in a more free, flexible and creative way. It will also bring these same qualities to the way you think about things in your life and free up any rigid thought patterns you may have; one way or another, they always end up causing you problems! One way it starts this process is to relieve pent up emotions and soften any hardened attitudes you may have.

Solar Plexus Charka: As the carnelian clears this energy centre, it will help you relax, which is always a wonderful feeling. After that, it will start to improve your self-confidence. It will make you feel really comfortable.

Heart Chakra: Carnelian always works well at the heart, even though it is not considered to be a heart stone. The message of carnelian is – since there is nothing but love, you have no choice but to love and love is then returned to you …. exponentially. Just hold that word in your mid for a while… it means the amount of love that returns to you keeps on and on increasing. Who wouldn’t want that? And, as if that wasn’t enough, it will also find all the tears you have not cried and release them in a calm, controlled way. It will do the same for any painful memories you may have stored on an emotional level. It helps you distance yourself from them before they are cleared out which is what makes it easier to deal with them.

Throat Chakra: Using carnelian at this chakra will allow you to clear any inhibitions you have about speaking your truth. All you have to do when you choose to work with the stone is be ready and willing to do this!

Brow Chakra: As the crystalline energy of carnelian flows into your mind through this chakra it will bring a new and very creative energy to your thoughts. It will also enable you to take new ideas on board more easily and, as an added bonus, it will free your own ideas from restriction and rigidity. After using carnelian here, there will be nothing to stop you doing anything at all!

Crown Chakra: Here carnelian helps you to find new and exciting ways to connect with your intuition, your helpers and guides and all the higher aspects of yourself which are currently available to you, just waiting to work with you. And it goes without saying that it will also help you connect with the Divine… in whatever form that takes for you personally.

The other way to work with carnelian in your chakras is to read the list shown above and, if one of the descriptions of how the stone works in one of the charkas really resonates with you, just go with working in that one area. You don’t have to work with all seven energy centres at once, though, I have to say, it is unbelievably nice! But, ultimately, what you do with this lovely and very loving stone is entirely up to you. Just be open to what you actually need when you work with it and run with that.

Bright Blessings!

This is always the goal twice a year in spring and autumn. As the Earth comes into balance with twelve hours of light and darkness, so we do the same on an energetic level, though it’s not quite as easy for us. We actually have to do some releasing work to make sure we get to the same place on the same day as Mother!

So, here is a crystal exercise to help you release any unwanted energy before the big day tomorrow. Or any day when you are aware you are carrying energy you no longer need. It will work with any orange stone, but personally I would use carnelian because it encourages flow and that helps with the clearing and releasing and with re-calibrating your Four Body System at a new level afterwards. However, if you know you have to release any fearful feelings, use orange calcite since this is affectionately known as the “feel the fear and do it anyway” stone. It will help you let go of this particularly unpleasant emotion far more easily.

You can do the exercise at any time. It will always release any energy you no longer want or need. But, it is particularly helpful if you are frustrated by a long term difficulty and want to encourage it to shift. It will stimulate the creative flow of the sacral chakra, allowing you to shift your perception of whatever you are working with. This is always useful and as well as that it will ground any excess energy through the feet, helping you to remain calm and comfortable while you are working and co-creating your healing with your crystals. And, always remember to thank them for their help at the end!

All you have to do is set your intention for the exercise and place your orange stones in these places:

• One below each foot
• One just below the navel
• One just above the navel

The instructions say leave the stones for twelve minutes, but if you feel you need more time or even less to complete your release, please do that. You are in the energy of the release and the energy of your lovely orange stones, so you will know best!

Happy Equinox!

Bright Blessings!

There is lots of stuff out there on the archangels. The internet is full of it, so there is little point in me re-typing it, especially since it is never about what you read; it is always about how you relate to the angelic you have chosen to work with and your own personal journey with them. Information can only ever only point the way. You still have to choose what direction you want to take! But, if you are drawn to exploring – well, you must know how to use Google just as well as me!! All I want to do is focus on one aspect of one archangel today! Raziel and Light.

I like Raziel. I know I say that about all the angelics, but Raziel really is very user-friendly and, more important than that, the specific frequency of light he emits is seriously useful. He blasts out the full spectrum in all directions and the image most commonly associated with him is the rainbow. He is very bright if you look at him, or perceive him in other ways! After all, not everyone is visually oriented. So, this means he brings light to you on a massive scale and can literally en-lighten you in many, many ways, as well as bring enlightenment. This is good at a time when there is so much darkness around. Utilising Raziel’s light and embedding it in your Four Body System will help you remain balanced while everything around you is busy going to hell in the proverbial handbasket!

Rainbow light has a very high vibrational frequency because it is white light created when all seven frequencies of the full spectrum are combined. It can clear as well as nurture the whole of your energy system. It is fabulous! And, working with Raziel and his rainbow light will be really beneficial to you. It symbolises purity and enlightenment which is actually what we need the most at the moment.

You can connect with Raziel in the same way you would connect with any angelic – at any time, in any way that suits you, and a simple thing to do to access his frequency is just to sit with him while he radiates his rainbow light and let it flow from him to you. Your intention will allow the light to work anywhere in your Four Body System and determine exactly what it does.

A way to enhance your connection is to use a clear quartz because this is the crystalline version of Raziel in that it also radiates the full spectrum of light into your Four Body System. It is absolutely perfect to use while you meditate with him. It also handily doubles the amount of available light you have to work with if it is coming from Raziel and your crystal! There is, of course, a danger you will end up glowing!

Raziel does lots of things to help you move forward on your earthwalk. The list is, like it is with all angelics, is seemingly endless. So, as I said earlier, if you are drawn to investigating further, please do, but a good place to start is always by using his rainbow light and you can move on from there.

Once you have worked with the light and cleansed your system, it makes doing other things with Raziel much easier, especially on a deeper level, because you don’t have to plough your way through the rubbish on the surface. You can go straight to the deep-seated stuff and make real progress. And, if you have already done a lot of work before you call him in, you can just use the rainbow light to keep your system clean and your vibratory rate high. That is a blessing in and of itself for those of us who have been clearing out our rubbish for years!

Raziel Meditation

• If you want to use a clear quartz – sit with it quietly, attuning to its energy and the light it is emitting.
• Then ask Raziel to join you and take a moment to consciously attune to his energy. Be aware it is an intense white light and it will be radiating out of him in all directions.
• Once you have attuned to this light – ask Raziel to split it for you, so you can perceive all the frequencies that are held within it. You will see his rainbow light it all its glory.
• Now set the intention to breathe this light into your aura to cleanse it.
• Keep breathing until you get the sense this has been done and then set the intention to breathe it in to your central channel – the pranic tube that runs from the crown chakra to the base chakra.
• On the in breath, keep drawing the rainbow light in through the crown until the channel is full and any debris has been dissolved in the intensity of the light and then add an additional intention. Breathe the rainbow in, let it build in the channel during a short pause and then on the out breath send it blasting out through all the chakras, cleansing them.
• When the chakra system has been cleared, set the intention to clear the Four Body System in the same way and, on the in breath, keep drawing the rainbow light in through the crown until the central channel is full, let it build in the channel during a short pause and then, on the out breath, send it flowing gently out through the physical body, the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual body, cleansing them all of anything you are ready to release at this time.
• Just sit breathing in and out and stay in this beautiful space for as long as you want to. Then ask Raziel to disconnect you from his light.
• Thank Raziel, ground and return your awareness to your body.

Additional things you can do once you have cleansed your system with the rainbow light.

• Raziel creates a connection between you and whatever you perceive as Divinity – Source/God/Goddess/Universe. It’s different for everyone. But you can ask him to enhance this connection for you, or activate it on a higher level and then breathe the rainbow light into your crown chakra. All you have to do is keep breathing and let Raziel do the rest.
• Raziel helps you re-connect with your intuition and your own deep inner wisdom. You never lose it. You just need reminding it’s still there really. So, ask him to enhance your ability to connect with all your intuitive gifts or activate them on a new higher level. Breathe the rainbow light into your brow chakra, keep breathing and, once again, let Raziel do the rest.
• A very quick way to experience Raziel’s light in a beautiful and powerful way is to ask him to join you and ask him to send his light from his heart chakra to your heart chakra. This way you get this wonderful rainbow with the additional energy of the Divine Unconditional Love that Raziel holds in his heart for all of us. Just breathe it in, allow it to clear your heart, and expand it, so you can take in more and more of his rainbow light. It is lovely, but if you do this… as you have been blessed by Raziel, so you must bless in return. After a while, when you are completely full of his energy, add an additional intention for your breath work. Keep breathing in Raziel’s light and love, but on the out breath, send this exquisite combination of energy out of your heart to any who are in need of a blessing on the earthplane.

Raziel will always shine light into darkness, so why not let him shine a bit into your life and illuminate you. Let him help you see what old, out-dated energy needs to be shifted and released. He will be ready and willing to help, as long as you actually ask!

And, if you keep seeing rainbow flashes of light… well, this is just Raziel’s way of letting you know that you are not paying attention to all the other ways he has been gently trying to nudge you in his direction!

All you really have to do is invite him to join you during your meditations and ask him to clear you of anything that stops you connecting with your Authentic Self. Everything he does eventually comes down to just that. You can look at the lists, choose what you think you need from any of them, but, at the end of the day, he will just help you clear all the rubbish from your life – and all other lifetimes – until all that is left is just …. YOU! What more could you ask from an angelic guide?

Well, except the one thing that Raziel has that other angelics don’t always have … MAGIC!! He is the angelic version of Merlin and, when you have been working with him a while, and have done your clearing work… he will bring that into your life in most unexpected ways!! In fact, on many of those lists magic is one of his key words… and who doesn’t want some of that in their life!

Have fun with Raziel!

Bright Blessings!
