QUICK CRYSTAL TIPS FOR FEBRUARY

Use can selenite to cleanse the whole of your Four Body System and boost your spiritual growth and it is astonishingly effective. But, please be aware that it is a very, very powerful stone with an exceedingly high frequency, so please check that it is appropriate for you to start using it. There are plenty of other crystals that are good at dissolving blockages and you can use these instead.

It will not take very long for the selenite to clear negative energy and, once it had gone, the stone will create a smooth flow of energy through the whole of your system. It will also bring calmness and peacefulness to your mind and your body, mainly by relieving stress and anxiety.

All you need to do is sit with your stone in your non-dominant hand with the intention of drawing the energy in to your body through your palm chakra with each in breath. Or you can rub your fingers gently along the striations. Do whatever you want. It’s your journey with the stone.

Another alternative is to sit with the stone beneath your feet to clear the feet chakras which will allow you to connect with the earth more easily and increase the flow of earth energy into your system to nurture your physical body.

You can also cleanse your aura really quickly which is always useful after a tough day! Hold the stone a few inches away from your body – with the striations running top to bottom – and, starting at the top of the head, gently move it down to the ground. Do the front back and each side with the intention of removing any negativity stuck in the auric sheath.

Note: if you are doing this technique on yourself and you can’t reach the back, do the front twice, once with the intention of doing the back. It will still work! Also, if the stone feels stuck and won’t continue going down to the floor, it indicates a large blockage which needs a bit more work. Just imagine your stone is a cloth and keep wiping the spot to clear the congestion until it starts moving again.

If you want to use it in the chakra system, a good place to start is to hold the stone at the heart. It will download its energy into your system and it will spread everywhere.

None of these things take more than five or six minutes – though you can work for longer if you want to. So, it is very easy to fit them into a busy day and keep your vibrational rate high and strong, which is the most important thing for us to do these days. Anything that keeps us out of low vibrational energy is a blessing and this stone is very good at it.

One thing – do not clean this stone with water. It is solidified sea water from an ancient ocean, so if you add water… you will eventually get water. It will dissolve!!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!

Ready, Steady … GO!

With the arrival of Imbolc, you have finally reached the beginning of your outward cycle of growth; it is the time to turn away from looking inward and start looking outward again. All the seeds you planted during the dark time of the year have germinated, so now you need to nurture all your  nice, new green shoots… the first signs of everything you want to achieve this year.

And, I have the perfect crystal to kick start this whole process – pyrite. This amazing stone contains the energy of golden sunlight – just the thing for any of those new green shoots you may have waiting to turn into something completely wonderful!

A ridiculously easy way to access this stimulating energy is to hold a piece of pyrite in each hand, with the intention of drawing its energy into your system through the palm chakras. It will instantly re-balance you and it will give you an astonishing, not to mention refreshing burst of energy. It’s really good and incredibly quick as well. So, why don’t you give it a go? And, you will absorb more energy if you cleanse your palm chakras first… all sorts of dense energy can get stuck inside them!

Another way to use pyrite is to set the intention that you want to use the vibrations emitted by the stone to manifest your personal energy fully and completely on the earthplane. You won’t be able to help any of your green shoots grow unless you are truly here… fully in the NOW moment, and pyrite will enable you  to do this. If you only have one piece, use it in the base chakra and move it up to the sacral and then the solar plexus during your meditation. Let it stimulate you, your physical body and fill you with energy, so you are really, seriously ready to go and do absolutely anything!

If you are lucky enough to have lots of pyrites, you can hold a piece in each hand, place a piece on the solar plexus to energise you, and place another piece on the base chakra to ground you. This also anchors your aura and your subtle bodies to both the earth and your physical body and allows your spiritual self to function at optimum in the physical realm.

One of the best things about using pyrite is the fact that as soon as you pick it up, it transfers the high-frequency energy it emits directly into your physical body, and this will then activate your creativity in many, many ways. Handily, it will also stimulate the creative flow of ideas and concepts. It’s perfect really, and all you have to do is allow your pyrite to show you lots of new and exciting ways to embrace your innate abilities and your unique and limitless potential…. and you are good to go! This, after all, is always what will ultimately make a huge difference in your life. Owning that you are fabulous!

And, yes I really did say limitless – any limitation you have in your life is always self-imposed. You are only fooling yourself if you think someone else is doing it! So, maybe it’s time to just get over yourself and admit how great you really are, not to mention how much you can really achieve if you put your mind to it! And, pyrite is the stone you need to help do this.

One of the other things pyrite does to help you see. It is a bright, shiny stone, so its reflective surface will mirror back to you anything that you are trying to hide, anything that keeps you stuck in a less-than consciousness, rather than a splendid more-than consciousness, and once you have identified any blockages it means you can release them.

Pyrite will always let you see yourself as you truly are rather than how you perceive yourself to be. The energy of the stone strips away any illusions you have about yourself and presents you with the truth of who you really are. So, be prepared for this to happen if you start working with it and use anything you discover about yourself as a way to embody more of your Authentic Self.

An affirmation associated with pyrite is:

I succeed in all my endeavours.

If you want to work with the power of these words, set the intention that you want to resonate your solar plexus with them, and keep repeating the affirmation – out loud so the Universe knows you are serious about it – until you feel the chakra is completely full of these positive vibrations and then just let the energy work within the chakra, doing whatever it needs to do to help you succeed in ….everything!

And, pyrite, of course, will make the exercise more effective because it is a stone of action, will and vitality – all qualities which will fire you up to achieve absolutely anything. Its ability to allow you to tap into your potential will also help with this as well. Just hold the stone at the solar plexus while you work with your sound.

Another way to make this exercise work in a very powerful – and empowering – way is to meditate with the pyrite before you use your sound, with the intention of asking it to help you to see what is blocking you from succeeding, so you can release the energy from the chakra before you use the affirmation. It will make the resonance of the words work in astonishing ways inside the vortex.

So, with the energy of Imbolc supporting you – use energy of pyrite to grow and expand and, of course, succeed in everything!

Bright Blessings!

THE NEW YOU – HAVE YOU REALLY FOUND IT YET?

All this week I have been watching cars… not something I usually do while I am at work, but there are roadworks at the end of the street. There is also a road closure, but very few people are actually taking any notice of it. There are so many signs saying you cannot turn right at the end of the road it is quite ridiculous, but, astonishingly, drivers are still driving  straight up to the barrier, putting their indicators on and expecting to turn right… and they have been doing it repeatedly … for days.

It has become so bad that workmen are not actually working any more. They are lined up at the barriers to make sure that people don’t  ignore the signs and turn right…  and drive straight down into the big hole in the road, I assume. Some of the poor men have even had to take huge amounts of verbal abuse from people who are insisting they should be able to turn right, whether the road is closed or not. There have been times when I could hardly believe it and, scarily, times when it has been all too easy to believe since “me as the centre of the universe” is such a common attitude now. I seriously don’t like it at all!

But, I digress… the point of mentioning the roadworks is this – I want you to take a moment out of your busy day and check that you are not behaving like some of these daft drivers.

We have just come to the end of a 9 year and we spent most of the twelve stressful months clearing rubbish from our systems – thought patterns, behaviour patterns. You name it we found it, we worked with it and we darn well went ahead and cleared it… over and over again. Most of us worked so hard that by the time we came to this year we were completely exhausted!

But, now, of course, the trouble is this – we were probably  stuck in those old patterns for so long there is a chance that they have become our automatic responses to certain situations and we could be those drivers… just driving down that road and expecting to do the same thing as we always did when we get to the end.  We would have done or thought the same thing for years, always reacted the same way for years, always expected the world to react the same if we did the same thing… the trouble is…. none of that is true anymore.

So, please take the time to check that all your new ways of thinking and behaving are up and running and that you are not slipping back into any of the old, redundant ways. You seriously don’t need to do that anymore.  You are free to embrace totally new ways of being, thinking, behaving, and it really is time to make the most of the nice shiny new version of you that you created by doing  vast amounts of clearing work last year. You don’t want to give that old version any opportunities to raise its ugly head and sabotage you! Find new things to do and discover different ways of reacting, especially if repeating patterns are coming up for you.

One way of doing this is to use crystals to keep your brow chakra clear and, of course, your mind free from all those old, deeply embedded responses.

If you work on this energy centre, it will help you to remove fear as a default response to anything that appears in your life to challenge you, especially the fear of thinking and behaving in new, unfamiliar ways. It will help you trust that the world simply is not going to end just because you don’t do what you have always done for donkeys years. This in turn will then allow you to have a fabulous and truly abundant life…and who wouldn’t want that?

Also, the crystals will help you make a deeper, more appropriate connection to your intuition and the higher versions of yourself that can help you through this tricky transitional period. The stones will also help you tap into the knowledge held by the higher versions of yourself (higher self and your soul, depending on where you are on your journey) and access their wisdom and power, which, of course, is really yours anyway. You’ve just forgotten! It’s all there inside you. You just have to accept that and run with it really!

Amethyst would be a really good stone to use at the brow chakra. There are many countless reasons why you should do this and I could be typing forever if I tried to put them all in a blog. It’s an amazingly effective stone. But, I want to go with this advice – if you are drawn to using amethyst just: GO FOR IT!

Don’t worry about what the stone does. Just focus on whether or not it is the best thing for you to use. If it is, you will know, and choosing this way will help you start to make empowered choices about using crystals rather than depending on your mind to make the choice for you by looking at endless lists telling you exactly what it can do for you.

Amethyst is a wonderful crystal and it works.  Seriously, what else do you need to know? It’s really more about is – it the right intuitive choice for you when you want to do some work! Whatever happens, this lovely version of quartz will always bring intense spiritual growth whatever you do with it, and, surely, that is what we all want, isn’t it?

Another stone to consider using is sodalite. It will help you enormously if you want to do this kind of work. So, just do the same thing – feel around whether or not it is the right stone for you to use. It is already a brow chakra stone, so its vibrational frequency will work well in this energy centre. Just focus on finding out if it is the right one, if it will benefit you to work with it.

One way of doing this and starting to choose this way is to take a piece of amethyst and a piece of sodalite, line them up in front of you and set the intention that you want your eyes to be drawn to the one you need to use the most. Trust me, it will work every, single time!

And, of course, as always, you are the authority on your journey on the earthplane and, if you find you are drawn to another brow chakra crystal… run with it!! You always know the vibration you lack… always…. so your job is to allow yourself to be drawn to this vibration in crystalline form and use that particular stone with conscious intent to adjust your frequency and re-calibrate your system. It really is that simple!

So, please take a look at all your responses and make sure they really, truly are appropriate ones for the new you. Most of us did so much work last year that we deserve to be embracing a new, easier way this year!

But, it always comes down to a choice at the end of the day. So are you reacting in the old ways… or responding to situations … what is your:

response-ability

i.e. the ability to respond to a situation and make empowered choices to deal with it rather than allowing yourself to be dis-empowered by it all.

Both amethyst and sodalite will be more than happy to help you what ever you decide to do! they are marvelous crystal allies.

Bright Blessings

SACHIEL

Okay – there I was minding my own business and the Angels of Water decide they want to play. It was not exactly what I was expecting, but you never argue with angels when they turn up in front of you!! They are lovely angelics and they really deserve an entire blog of their own, but they were only there to make sure I found another angel who is also associated with the water element. They disappeared into the aethers once their job was done, bless them!

So who is this angel? It did not surprise me to discover that, as well as doing lots of other things, he is also the Angel of Thursday!

The Universe … and the angelics … have a perverse sense of humour!

Anyway – Sachiel, along with being an Angel of Water, is also the Angel of Wealth, Success and Prosperity. So, in a 3 year which is all about creative expression and manifestation, he seems like the perfect angel to make your new best friend!

However, despite all the things I read about him – and there was a lot- this was my very favourite description of what it was like when he arrived: Connecting with Sachael is like getting cleansed energetically and physically by a vibrant waterfall of love.

I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t want that? So, as soon as you get a few spare minutes – ask him to come and join you and allow him to let his energy flow straight from his heart to your heart.

You can do many things with Sachiel, just as you can with any angelic, but one of the most amazing things to do is actually chant his name and use the sound the clear the whole of your Four Body System.

SOUND + INTENT = HEALING OR RESULT

So, as always, the thought you have before you make your sound will always determine what it does. So what do you want the vibration of Sachiel’s name to do? Clearing old, stagnant and redundant energy from the whole of the Four Body System always works for me, so I would always start there and then see if anything else needs to be done. Or, if you are aware of any negative energy stuck in a particular chakra, aim the sound there. Go with what feels right for you because you know how you feel and how much rubbish you need to clear!

His name is pronounced:

SAH-CHEE-EL.

Just chant each part, elongating the sound you make and keep repeating it until you really feel the sound vibrating within you and around you in your energy system and subtle bodies.

Sachiel also supports you when you want to expand and grow in lots of new and exciting ways, so another way to use the sound of his name is to chant it with the intention of using the vibration to clear anything which is stopping you grow on all levels- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Works for me every time! So what have you got to lose? Not a lot really, but you have everything to gain!

Lastly, Sachiel loves to help people reconnect with their true authentic self, their soul and their purpose for incarnating on the earthplane at this time. So, you can do the same thing – chant his powerful name with the intention of using the vibration to clear anything which is stopping you doing this … again on all levels because we are very good at blocking this sort of thing.

There are lots of other things you can discover about Sachiel. He is a seriously nice angelic to work with, but as a sound healer, I always look at it from that angle and chanting the names of any angels is always an astonishing way to use their energy and your energy together to get a fabulous result.

Why not do yourself a favour and give it a go? And, remember, it’s not called singing healing. You don’t have to make a beautiful sound. You can just speak the three parts of his name if you are not keen to be heard, or risk chanting it in the more accepted way. It is just about allowing the syllables to come out of your mouth with the intention of helping you move forward on your journey.

Have fun with your sound and, of course, with Sachiel!

Bright Blessings!

Journeying with Sekhmet

Journeying with Sekhmet

Sekhmet is one of the oldest known Egyptian deities. Her name is derived from the Egyptian word Sekhem and is often translated as the Powerful One. She is simply astonishing and to work with her it is even more astonishing!

I will be doing more evenings with her. I have no idea what we will do. The only thing I can say for certain is I will be there and Sekhmet will be there. If you have worked with her before, you know how powerful this will be. If you haven’t, it will be an adventure. Whatever happens while we work with her, it will change you in profound ways.

7pm – 9pm  £10

ANGEL OF DECEMBER

Well, I think December must be a sort of take your pick month for the angelics. When I started checking who it was there were loads of names. Some were associated with the month and some were associated with people born at specific times during the month.

I have to say, it all made me smile… as if any angelic would limit themselves to offering support and guidance during only one month or one week. They are, happily, available to us at all times, no matter what has been written about them on Google!! So maybe it is time to take your pick of the angels associated with this month. Just see which one resonates with you and spend a little time with them to see what they can do to help you on your journey towards wholeness.

Or, here’s a radical thought – pick any angel whether they are associated with December or not! You’ll know if another is calling to you or trying desperately to attract your attention! Make an empowered choice not to be limited by the information available to you in books, articles or on the internet. Go with your own deep inner knowing!

But, just in case you want to play with a December angel. Here is some information –

SANDALPHON

This is my personal favourite for December. I like him a lot (though some people see him as a her. It doesn’t really matter because all angels are both him and her!) and he is responsible for the earthstar chakra. So it is his job to keep you stable and secure on the earthplane. That is always handy at this time of year! He also helps you create a secure link between heaven and earth, so you can hold high frequency energy more easily as a blessing to those who are in need of it at this time… which is just about everyone really!

Another thing he is very good at is helping you to tap into the power of the Divine…. what ever you perceive that to be and he certainly helps you learn to trust in yourself, your skills and your gifts and talents. He is a grand angel and he likes to help you achieve all your dreams.

HANAEL

Hanael is an angel of joy (like Haniel, though they are two different angels) and pleasure. He likes to bring beauty into your life as well as harmony and peace, and all of those qualities a can be extremely useful at this time of year! So it is always worth finding a few moments to get to know this angel!

The Seven Guardian Angels of December. These are the angelics who look after people who are born at specific times in December. But, trust me, they will help anyone! The date you were born does not matter in the slightest to any of the angelics!!

DANIEL– November 28 to December 02. I like the idea of Daniel, mainly because he is the Angel of Eloquence. What a fabulous title! He is obviously linked to communication and inspiration and he will always help when you are having difficulty making yourself heard or understood. He will also encourage you to speak the truth. Lastly, as most angelics multi-task, he is the Angel of Mercy and Comfort too, and being comforted by an angel is a wonderful feeling. Try it!

HAHASIAH– December 03 to 07 – this angel is the Angel of The Universal Medicine, so he is one of the many, many healing angels. His gift is to help you see and understand the root cause of any illness, so you can clear it from the whole of your Four Body System.  He will help you release all the blockages associated with the physical symptoms rather than just helping you deal with them. They will always return unless you clear everything, including the mental, emotional and spiritual components of the physical problem. It is never just a physical problem!

IMAMIAH – December 08 to 12 – This angelic is the Angel of Errors, so he helps you see them, acknowledge them, understand them and take responsibility for them before he helps you sort them out… otherwise you’re not really sorting them out, are you? You’re just finding another way to bury them or giving yourself an opportunity to repeat them at a later date! How daft is that! It will be easier to let Imamiah help you get rid of them one and for all and, handily, the qualities associated with him are courage, strength and vigor which will be just what you need to do this! He will help you set yourself free from just about anything that is holding you back, spiritually or physically, and that includes your own negative feelings because we are usually our own worst enemy!

NANAEL – December 13 to 16 – This angelic is the Angel of Spiritual Communication and his job is to help you grow and expand on a spiritual level. What this actually means to you depends on where you are on your spiritual journey, but any help is always good! He will also help you learn to appreciate privacy and peace and quiet – what a gift at this completely mad time of year!

NITHAEL– December 17 to 21 – I like this one because he is the Angel of Eternal Youth. Not only does he wake up your lovely inner child, so you are filled with energy, beauty and youth, he will also help you work with and clear any problems associated with your childhood.

MEBAHIAH – December 22 to 26 – This angel has a title and a half. It is the Angel of Intellectual Lucidity. That is quite a mouthful, but basically, if you work with him, he will help you gain knowledge. This is usually specifically associated with understanding your surroundings, so you can perceive everything about any difficult situations you find yourself in and you can see the lesson they hold for you. This usually means you won’t get stuck in horrible places for a long, long time.

POYEL – December 27 to 31 – This angelic is the Angel of Support and Fortune and, fabulously, he will bring fortune and abundance in to your life, so he is a particularly good angel to work with at the end of the year. It means you can take this energy with you into the new year in January. He is absolutely perfect really, bless him! He will offer support in difficult situations and he will fill you with hope, positive thoughts and optimism. Again, this is wonderful for the end of one cycle of growth in 2018 and the start of a new one in 2019. So, since he rules over fame and fortune and grants absolutely everything, he is perhaps the most perfect angel to journey with at the end of this particular month! But, most of all, with Poyel, I like the fact that he will bring so much abundance that you will just have to pass it on.

So, you have an abundance of angels to choose from this month. Pick one or try all of them!! It will be a blessing what ever you decide to do.

Bright Blessings!

Calcite and Black Tourmaline

When you start looking for calcite, you will find there are many different colours to choose from, but all of them will help to remove any blockages in your Four Body System that prevent you from making a smooth transition into new ways of being. The colour you are drawn to will show you where your main blockage actually is – i.e. green is the heart, orange is the sacral. You get the idea.

So, start by seeing what colour you are drawn to and place the stone on the appropriate part of your body or energy system and allow the crystalline energy to flow from the stone into you to start the clearing process. And, trust that you will know how many times you will have to do this before you combine your calcite with black tourmaline. This stone does many wonderful things, but it is useful when you are working with calcite because it has the ability to break up energy blockages that cause stress and confusion. This will keep you calm while you continue the clearing process and bring clarity while you work, making it easier to see what needs to be done.

Working with these two stone together will help you move beyond limited ways of thinking so you can open yourself up to a greatly expanded concept of reality. And, tourmaline, in particular makes you aware that you really are a light being in a physical form. This knowing will then help you to move into unity consciousness and experience the physical and spiritual worlds as one.

To make the most of this exercise, I would recommend clear calcite when you work with black tourmaline, even if you have used a coloured stone to do the prep work. This crystal helps you to experience the fact that the spiritual plane is really and truly connected to the physical plane and you can access it at all times. The means you start to learn (or rather remember for most of us as we have all done this sort of thing before!) to bring a deeper, more profound spiritual understanding into your physical reality. This in turn will give you an expanded awareness of the challenges in your life, especially the problems you have been dealing with for a while – you know the ones – when you think of them you are filled with the unpleasant feeling that they will never be cleared and released at all – the old, deeply embedded thought and behaviour patterns that seem to have no beginning and no end, so you don’t really know where to start to clear them. These two stones are the perfect place to start.

Exercise

  • Place the black tourmaline between your feet – this will ground your energy and stabilise your whole energetic system, keeping you comfortable while you work.
  • Now bring to mind what you were came up for you while you were working with the calcite on its own and set the intention to work with this energy, learn what you need from it, and then release it.
  • Give the tourmaline few minutes to work and then pick up your clear calcite and cradle it in both hands, gazing down into it. Really connect and allow yourself to almost fall down into the stone.
  • Now while gazing into your calcite. See or sense, or visualise that the things on the physical plane that have been holding you back are being solved while you sit with the two crystals on the spiritual place and hold the very clear intention that this energy then transfers to the physical plane and resolves the issues with ease and grace.
  • Thank your crystals when you have finished working, ground and return.

Bright Blessings!

Apophyllite and Taharial

Taharial is the angel associated with apophyllite (see previous post – http://crystaldragongail.com/?p=413). His name means Purity of God because his energy is deeply cleansing – just like apophyllite. This is why they go together so well! And, when you work with them at the same time, both the angelic vibration from Taharial and the high frequency energy emitted by the crystal will fundamentally change your own vibrational rate, and they will do it very quickly. And, this potent combined energy will also take it up very, very quickly, so please make sure that you are firmly grounded before you start.

Your main intention, if you choose to work with this lovely angel and this amazing stone together, is to ensure that the incoming high frequencies from both of them are integrated with ease and grace into your Four Body System. You must also ask Taharial to stabilise your energy system at the end of your session at the most appropriate frequency for you. This is very important. Both these energies used together will bring about a deep, deep cleansing and you need to re-calibrate afterwards to make sure the whole system runs properly. Also, re-calibration will then allow you to maintain these new higher levels of vibration that you have achieved far more easily.

Apophyllite is a powerful transmitter of Divine White Light which you can access by sitting with the stone and holding the clear intention to connect on this level with the its energy. This goes well with Taharial because he teaches you how to connect with Divine White Light and how to radiate it in all circumstances.

Of course, radiating this powerful light will not change what is happening around you, especially if it is negative. It is not supposed to. You are only ever responsible for changing yourself, but what it will do is raise your vibrational rate so you are less affected by it. If you are vibrating at a high frequency and you learn how to maintain it at all times, the lower vibrational rates around you cannot touch you. It’s physics at the end of the day, and it will always work because of that.

Also, as an added bonus, radiating this light will create more balance in your life because you are not engaging with any of the rubbish happening in the world around you. You are choosing to rise above it and this in turn will shield you from the less pleasant frequencies everyone else is emitting. It will make you far more comfortable in a very real and tangible way.

So – why not give it a go. But, if working with both the angelic and crystalline frequencies together is a bit overwhelming, work with one and use your intuition to see which one you need at the time you decide to do a bit of work. On the bright side, used at the brow apophyllite will enhance your connection to your intuition, so it should make the process of choosing the most appropriate thing a whole lot easier.  It’s a win win scenario really, so why not go for it?

Bright Blessings!

PREPARING FOR PORTALS

The 11:11 portal this year is a Triple Master Portal because not only is it the usual 11:11 portal but:

11:11 + 2+0+1+8 = 11

So, since 11:11 itself is a number activation sequence, designed to help you remember who you truly are and all you have ever been, adding an extra 11 amplifies all of this. The portal opens on 11th November, allowing high frequency energy to download into your system, bringing Light Codes and angelic Fire Codes, and it does not close until 11/1/19. So this gives you an enormous amount of time to work with this energy to raise your vibratory rate.

It is often described as a gateway to your highest potential, so it is extremely useful to start releasing (not to mention continue releasing throughout the whole of this three month period) anything which blocks you from reaching this. It is a huge opportunity to let go of the limitations you have placed around yourself and your life – usually without even knowing you have done it.

This particular portal also brings with it an energy and a feeling of completion of all the work we have done during the year. It’s been a tough year for most of us and this three month period is a time for us to release anything you no longer require.

We all know what those things are. They are different for everyone, but if something has to go – seriously, it’s time to stop resisting. That will only make it worse. Just find the best way to let the thing go – whether it’s a person, a place, a job, a thought pattern, an emotional response. Just get rid of it and, after you’ve done it, you will know, with every fibre of your being, that something new will soon be coming to fill that space in your life in 2019. Give it a huge space to manifest in your life rather than a small one because you are still determined to hold on to your baggage!

This portal, like all others, brings an energy you can use to raise your vibration and upgrade the whole of your energy system. But, this process will be more intense than usual since it is 11:11+11. So, after the portal initially opens and the first wave of energy hits your system, please make sure you are really, really grounded and that you allow time for re-calibration afterwards. Ask for help from the angelics if you are not sure how to do this yourself. They always stand ready to help at times like this.

Also, be aware that the energy coming through the portal this year carries the qualities and resonance of love, compassion and creativity – a potent mix, bringing with it the ability to create and manifest with love and compassion. I rather like that idea! And, it will all be coming in waves, so be ready to ride them… and each of these waves will have its own unique colour and sound, together with a set of Light Codes, transmitted in an angelic Language of Light. This will make the whole experience very powerful, so please – handle with care!!!

A crystal which will help you transit through all this with ease and grace is apophyllite because this crystal already holds a high frequency of light and you can use it to raise your vibration before the energy of the portal hits. This will mean there is less of a frequency mis-match when the portal energy arrives between you and the incoming energy. This will make it a lot more comfortable for you.

Apophyllite will also be useful because the vibrational energy of the crystal will (when used with intent) bring you back into alignment with the Earth, which will always help with grounding, earthing excess energy after the downloads, and it will help keep you stable during the re-calibration process as well. It’s perfect for this sort of event!

You can also use it to help you get rid of your baggage before the portal opens because one of the things apophyllite does is to absorb negative thought patterns, where ever they are stored in your Four Body System. And, as a bonus, it can clear emotional trauma as well. It has a powerful cleansing effect on everything really. So, it is a seriously useful stone and it works well when you are in the middle of releasing negative energy because it relaxes and calms you as soon as you start holding it.

You will find that apophyllite is ridiculously easy to use. All you have to do is hold it (after setting an intention for your work with the stone) and then you just sit with it for twenty minutes. Really, it is that simple! And you will feel it working as soon as you settle down with it. It’s incredible. It’s also a bit like being supercharged with high frequency light, so please make sure you are properly grounded before you start.

You can just hold it in your hand, but one of the best places to use it, especially for system cleansing, is the sacral chakra. It’s a bit like using a hoover, though, so prepare yourself! Place the flat part against your body so the point is facing away from you and then set your intention to release anything which no longer serves your highest and greatest good. Then breathe the energy of the crystal into the chakra and breathe out any negative energy stuck in your system. You’ll love it!

Because apophyllite emits high frequency light, it will work with any chakra, but it resonates best with the brow – clearing blocks associated with inner vision and perceiving the subtle realms, and it also clears the crown, soma (or angel) and soul star chakras as well. And, if you keep at least the brow and crown chakras cleared and functioning at optimum during any portal, it will mean the whole download process is much easier for you, not to mention a lot more comfortable. The portal energy doesn’t have to push your rubbish out of the way to get into your system.

So, find twenty minutes in your day (or less because this crystal works fast!), and start your adventure with apophyllite. I guarantee you’ll love it!

PORTAL WORKSHOPS

Sunday 11th November 2.00 – 4.30  £30

11th November this year is a Triple Energy Master Portal. 11:11 and 2018 = 11. So we will be working with the incoming energy, preparing for the upgrade and re-calibration afterwards.

Sunday 9th December 2.00 – 4.30 £30

The 12/12 Portal will be a huge energetic shunt upwards, so we will be preparing for the incoming energy, the upgrade and finding ways to ensure re-calibration occurs afterwards with ease and grace.

For more details or to book a place – email: info@crystaldragongail.com

One last thing – if you are sensitive, please be mindful that this 11:11 portal opens on the hundredth anniversary of the end of WW1, so at the initial time of the opening at 11:11 a.m. there will be … for want of a better way to describe it …. an enormous emotional charge and there will be lots of ancestors around.

You may want to let the actual 11:11 moment pass and connect to the portal later. It’s here for three months, so you are not going to miss it. And, it will give you a chance to remember our honoured and beloved dead and all they did for us in the war to end all wars. If only that was true….

Bright Blessings!

Chrysocolla and the Venus Retrograde

Rediscover your Heart’s True Desire

I don’t usually highlight planets in retrograde, but there is just something about this one. It is connected with many things, but the most important, considering which planet is in retrograde at the moment are:

Love and Relationships

Self-Worth and valuing your inner resources

Your values and your heart’s desires

Venus went into retrograde on 5th October and will continue until November 16th, so this gives you a huge window of opportunity to address anything which comes up to be dealt with.  It will probably be thoughts or situations linked to what you really want in your life, what you value in your life, who you love, who loves you and what your core values really are. And, of course, the biggie for Venus – what is your true heart’s desire?

It is a special time that will allow you to use the current energy to examine your life and purge yourself of any toxic relationships you may have, not to mention toxic thoughts, especially ones associated with self-doubt. And, since it may already be feeling as if there is a huge and blindingly bright spot light on all these areas in your life – what can you do to connect with the information that comes up and deal with it in the best way for you?

Well, although there are many crystals which deal with all these things, I would recommend chrysocolla because above all else this stone can actually help you discover your heart’s true desires and then it will help to communicate them. It holds the green ray of the heart and the blue ray of the throat, allowing you to express your heart through your throat. It is perfect.

Chrysocolla will also clear blockages from the heart chakra and re-balance the energy centre, and this is the thing which really allows you truly understand your own needs (and emotions) clearly and on a much deeper level.  And, as well as this, it allows you to see and clear any emotions that are stuck inside your head, which may have been stopping you from being able to think clearly.

It is such a lovely stone and, although it is blue and green, it has a powerful effect in the lower three chakras and it can be used on any of them if you are drawn to using it there. But one of the other useful things it does within the chakra system is to link the heart and throat chakras with the base chakra, which is why it helps you speak about your needs and desires. It brings this energy up from the base to the heart before rising to the throat for release, so everything is released with love. It will open your throat chakra and allow you to speak truthfully about what you want and need in all areas of your life and it will do this through heartfelt loving communication.

Another thing about chrysocolla is that it has a soothing and calming energy which makes it the perfect thing to use if any anxiety or stress rises to the surface of your mind while you are contemplating all the things that a Venus retrograde can stir up. It works on all chakras, so you can just place your trusty crystal on the chakra which is generating the negative energy and sit with it until the blockage clears through. It is particularly helpful at the solar plexus to help you let go of guilt and fear.

However, chrysocolla’s greatest potential for healing is at the sacral chakra, so I would always start holding it there and, when any blockages in that energy centre have been released, allow yourself to be guided to move it to other places in the charka system to continue your clearing process.

This whole retrograde period will give you many, many chances to overcome your fears, shift your perspective about yourself and examine all your relationships and I really would go and get some chrysocolla to help you with this if you don’t already have some. As well as doing all the things mentioned above, it will help you connect to your inner wisdom and your inner strength, and it will enable you to remain calm when things in your life change, especially if the changes are unexpected.

The easiest way to allow chrysocolla’s energy into your system is to hold it in your non-dominant hand and set the intention to breathe the energy of the stone in through the palm chakra, then allow it to flow up the arm to the shoulder and into your physical body. It will then go where ever you direct it with your healing intention. You can also enhance this process after a while by adding an intention to release the energy of any blockages in your system on your out breath. Or you can place the stone on the heart or sacral and breathe the energy in from there. Do whatever feels right for you when you work with the stone.

After working with chrysocolla for a while and clearing some of your old emotional rubbish from various parts of your energy system, I would place the stone on your heart chakra and sit or lie with it in place for some time, asking the stone to help you connect with your heart’s desire, so you can see or sense what this really, truly is. I know it’s not something we are used to focussing on. Some people are not even comfortable doing it, which is a huge shame. But, chrysocolla will definitely help you see exactly what is hidden inside your heart and it will help you express what you find buried deep inside it.

Additional Useful Information

Chrysocolla can also be used with other stones for stress relief: Lithium Quartz, Larimar, Lepidolite, Amazonite or Kunzite.

For enhancing your throat chakra use chrysocolla with: Lapis Lazuli, Ajoite, Amazonite, Aquamarine, Aqua Aura Quartz and Larimar.

You can also use chrysocolla with other copper based stones to enhance its healing effect and the energy of both stones: Dioptase, Shattuckite, Cuprite, Turquoise, Quantum Quattro, Covellite, Ajoite, Azurite, and Malachite.

I hope you have a good Venus retrograde!

Bright Blessings!
