Muriel – Angel of Emotions

Element-Water

Crystals: aquamarine, moonstone, aventurine, emerald and amber.

Colour-Silver

Essential Oils: peppermint, bergamot, lavender and geranium.

I was going to write about this lovely angel last month because she is, among many wonderful things, the Angel of June, but I ran out of month!

Still, thinking about it, Muriel is the perfect angel to turn to for help and support this month, given how energetically volatile it is going to be. She helps you grow, flourish and prosper in difficult times. Quite frankly – that is exactly what we need this month and Muriel is perfect for everyone one of us!

I have a feeling the most useful thing she will be able to do for all of us is to lend help and support when emotions start rising to the surface for clearing this month – as trust me, they will! Muriel works with deeply buried emotions and, with her support, you will find it much easier to release long-standing emotional blockages – once and for all, unless, of course, you are foolish enough to drag the situations that caused the problems back and generate the blockage all over again yourself. We are all quite good at that!

But, that said, as you work with Muriel, she will help you understand if the emotional energy you are experiencing is yours, or if it belongs to someone else and you do not need to carry it. It is information you can always use to make your clearing process more effective.

Her greatest gift to you – besides bringing peace and harmony into your life when you start to spend time with her – is that she opens your heart, allowing you to experience Divine Unconditional Love on a very deep level. I know all angelics do this really. How could they not when they love us so much? But while you are with Muriel, you will learn how to embody the energy as well, making it far more real, and far more permanent. It will be embedded into your energy system.

Also, as Muriel helps you to open your heart, she will show you how to act with an open heart, without expecting anything in return, so any blessings that come back to you will be multiplied.

And, another benefit of opening you heart with Muriel is that she will help you learn to trust the wisdom of your heart and access the intuitive guidance of your soul on a whole new level.

But, one of the most important things she will teach you is that your only responsibility is to yourself. You are not responsible for anyone else. You are here to embody your Authentic Self and to hold the energy of wholeness as you progress on your healing journey, so it is available to all on the earthplane. This is your blessing. You will become an anchor for this energy and it will help everyone else who is striving to achieve it…. without doing anything at all for them. They are on their journey and they, like you, have to do it themselves.

There are, of course, many other things that Muriel does and, if you are interested, do look them up. But these are the things that you will find most useful this month, given how many energy shifts we have coming our way – an eclipse, the Mayan Day Out of Time and the rising of Sirius at Planetary New Year… all of these are opportunities for letting going of enormous amounts of rubbish and Muriel is the angelic who can help you do this at a very, very profound level.

And, after you have released as much as you possibly can by working with her, she will also help you if you are ready to open up intuitively to the next level. And, if you are a sensitive, you can do this without fear of becoming over-sensitive. Muriel works with empaths! How perfect is that?

So do spend some time with Muriel and let her fill your heart with love and kindness and compassion – firstly for yourself, of course, so you can embody these qualities before you can bless everyone else with them!  And let her inspire you to see the whole of the world through that newly opened heart. It will change the way you see the world forever and allow you see how truly blessed you are. Sometimes we are just foolish and we don’t even notice!

May Muriel bless you on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual!

Bright Blessings

To represent the energy of the sun – sunstone

To represent the energy of the moon – moonstone

To align with heaven and earth – chrysocolla

If you can do this outside, it will be lovely, but since that is not always possible – anywhere else is just fine! Also, most people say do it at sunrise because this represents new beginnings… but once again, it’s not always possible. All you need to do is connect with the energy at sunrise and create your own time of new beginnings!

• Hold each of your crystals in turn, taking a moment to fully connect with each of them.
• Sunstone brings you the energy of the Sun, and through the Sun – the element of Fire. This is a hugely useful energy to work with – massive transformation!
• Moonstone brings you the energy of the Moon, and through the Moon – the element of Water – massively cleansing!
• The other gift of these two crystals is the masculine and feminine energy they hold, so work with them a moment before you move on to chrysocolla. Sunstone holds the masculine energy and moonstone the feminine energy, so with the moonstone in your non-dominant hand and the sunstone in your dominant hand – ask the stones to balance these two energies before you start and sit quietly while it happens. You’ll know when it’s done!
• Chrysocolla aligns you with Heaven and Earth and represents new beginnings. It is also a deeply, deeply healing stone and its greatest potential for healing is at the sacral chakra, so if at any point while you are working you feel you need to place it in this area – go for it. It will only do good things!
• So, hold your crystals, stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground – or floor if you are indoors – and send roots deep down into Mother Earth. This connects you to earth.
• Now take your awareness up to the crown and make a connection to Source, the Divine, God…. what word you use to describe this is just fine. This connects you to heaven.
• Now, as it is Solstice and the Sun is at the height of its power – become aware of the Sun, and allow the solar energy to flow into your system through the highest chakra you are working with at this time. Let it flow down to fill your central channel and then out into every part of your physical body. Let sunlight infuse your mind, body and soul with vibrant and healing light.
• Now, sit down and connect to the elemental energy of Fire which is carried by the sunlight in to your energy system. What do you want to transform at this powerful moment in time? When you have decided, breathe in the energy of fire, drawing it in to your system through the solar plexus – the place where you hold this element in your energy system – and set the intention to breathe it out towards whatever you want to transform. You may want to place the sunstone on the chakra before you do this because the crystal will clear and empower the solar plexus most effectively.
• Continue breathing this way until you feel you have sent enough Fire energy to achieve your goal and disconnect from the Sun, sitting quietly while your energy settles. You may want to check your energy system and ground any excess energy. You may have quite a lot!
• Now ground, return and send thoughts of love and gratitude to your crystals, and you can either place them on your altar or you may want to carry them with you throughout the day to remind you of the energy of new beginnings.

Additional stone to use on Solstice Day: Another crystal associated with the Sun is citrine. It would be a good stone to carry with you on Solstice Day. It transforms any negative energy into positive energy and it will help you focus on what you wish to manifest or transform after you have worked with your other three crystals. It also has the very handy ability to attract abundance of all kinds into your life!!

Have a happy Solstice!

Bright Blessings!

Most people have heard of amethyst. Most people have worn it, not to mention used it in all sorts of ways. It is a popular crystal and easily obtainable and loads and loads has already been written about it, so I wondered why I had to do the same when there is so much information already out there… I had no idea until I read an article about an energy wave heading our way from the Great Central Sun. It is due to hit on Solstice Day and it seems we need to do some work before it gets here.

The incoming galactic energy is apparently going to help us reach a place where we can really take on board the fact that we are …. well, love! And nothing but love! And that everything around us is exactly the same… just love! The frequency of the energy wave is designed to dissolve any blockages we have in and around our hearts, so it will be useful if we start clearing now so the energy doesn’t have so much to do when it arrives and we will be far less likely to be discombobulated by it when it downloads into our systems.

It is also going to affect your mental body and your thought processes, helping you accept the truth of the fact that we are love… never easy when you are in a 3D world, surrounded by people who are vibrating at a 3D level and you are vibrating at a completely different frequency!  But, this energy should help, so the more space you have in your Four Body System, the better it will be.

So, why amethyst if the incoming energy wave is designed to clear the heart? This crystal is usually recommended as a brow and crown chakra stone. But, it works incredibly effectively at the heart chakra as well.

One of the many things amethyst does in the heart chakra is to stimulate your heartspace, helping you to open yourself up to give and receive love and do this in more appropriate ways for you. It also helps you understand more fully what you need and desire and it will help you act on this deep inner knowing … again in appropriate ways.

Lastly – and this can apply to the brow and the crown as well as the heart, though the wisdom of this starts in the heart before it rises up to the higher chakras – amethyst will encourage you to release anything that is holding you back so you can fully embrace your spiritual destiny….

Well, they say spiritual destiny. Since you are a spiritual being any destiny you chose to embrace is your spiritual destiny really! And, at the moment the only thing we really truly have to do is come face to face with our Authentic Selves and embrace them, embodying them fully on the earthplane at this time.

So, back to why amethyst… or rather … how can we use amethyst at the heart? Well, it is ridiculously simple. All you do is focus your intent and place a piece of amethyst on your heart. Yes – it really is just that easy.

Most other stones used at the heart make you see what you have hidden away or, quite frankly, just buried so you don’t have to deal with it anymore. We’ve all … been there, done that on more than one occasion, there is usually a lot of stuff in that chakra! Anyway, heart stones more often than not, make you aware of all your rubbish. They make you see it in great detail and, quite often, they make you re-experience it and it can be quite horrible. I mean the reason you buried the darn stuff in the first place was because it was painful and you wanted to avoid dealing with it! So the gift of amethyst is – when used with the right intention – it just acts as a hoover and pulls the stuff out without you having to feel the pain all over again. Once was enough, surely!

So, sit quietly with your amethyst and ask it to help you clear anything which you no longer need on any level – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – and if you are already aware of the blockage you need to clear – name it, so the stone can get to work straight away once you ask it to start removing energy from the chakra. Clear intentions always get clear results….

But, also add that you when you find what needs to be cleared (if you haven’t already named it) that you are made fully aware of the lesson you need to learn associated with the blockage otherwise you will only create it all over again at a later date. You can do this exercise without knowing specifically what needs to be released, though.

Once you have done this, place the stone over your heart and ask it to help you tune in to heartspace and connect with what you have stored away in your heart on a much deeper level than the conscious level. Amethyst is seriously good at this, which is why it also resonates with the higher chakras because the brow and crown are also connected to the way you access your deep inner knowing and your own innate wisdom. So if you are guided to place the stone on either of these two chakras while you are working – go for it! It will help enormously.

Then, when you feel ready, ask your amethyst to start pulling out any negative energy which is currently stuck in your heart. It will then magically become a hoover and just dragging stuff you don’t need any more out. It’s astonishing and extremely effective, and all you have to do is be fully present while the crystal works, co-creating your healing experience with it.

You will know when the release has finished and you can either thank the stone and cleanse it and put it away, or you can start all over again and remove something else. The choice is yours. You know what you need to do to become whole again. So just run with it!

The other bonus you get when working with amethyst is that it dissolves negative energy in your energy field when you are holding it, replacing it with its own high frequency vibration and this in turn acts like shield. It is like having a fabulous bubble of violet spiritual light all around you while you work with your stone. It holds you safely in a clean environment, making it easier to relax and go with the whole releasing experience.

Lastly, when you work with amethyst, it will gift you with calmness and clarity, so it is the perfect stone to use at the moment when we are completely surrounded by confusion, not to mention absolute chaos! It will also, at a more subtle level, clear the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies, and link them to the spiritual body. Both of these things will help you enormously, so if I were you I’d be talking to a piece of amethyst straight away!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!

I thought it might be a good idea to suggest that we all start making friends with The Angels of Gratitude before we reach the Solstice and everything else which is due to happen once all the energy shifts start on 21st. It’s going to be a busy summer – energetically speaking!

And, let’s be honest, considering everything that’s been going on up until now… I think we really ought to start by being enormously grateful for the fact that we’ve actually made it this far, not to mention grateful that we will make it through the summer, unscathed. That would be quite useful as well!

All the excitement isn’t due to stop until after the Lion’s Gate window closes at the end of August. But, by then we are almost in the Autumn Equinox window, so we won’t have much time to recover, let alone recalibrate! All the more reason to start talking to these lovely angelics right now… and any others you are guided to work with, of course!

There is a whole bunch of angels who are collectively known as The Angels of Gratitude and you can call on any one of them (or all of them if you like!) at any time. They will, like every other angelic, come immediately. All they are waiting for is an invitation to join you! But there are also some gratitude angels who are singled out by their names, so you can ask either of them for help and support, if you feel drawn to work with them.

Shemael

This is the angel who inspires gratitude and thanksgiving – which actually means the expression of gratitude. He will also help you to grow closer to all the angelics, so he is good to know! But, best of all, he will help fill your heart and mind with serenity and help you to love your life on all levels. So seriously, sit quietly as soon as you can, ask him to join you, thank him for coming, take a moment to attune to his energy and start chatting!!!

Ooniemme (Oon-ee-em)

This is the angel who is responsible for helping you experience the actual feeling of gratitude – the real feeling, not just the energy of grateful words forming inside your head. He engages your heart, and allows your heart to resonate with the energy of gratitude so we can radiate it in all directions. This in turn means we then start attracting more and more things to be grateful for… for once it is a win win senario for all of us! And once you start resonating at the frequency of gratitude, your awareness expands and it opens you up to receive even more blessings. How fab is that!

Thank you Ooniemme!

I even found an affirmation to use with this angelic:

I AM forever grateful for the blessings I receive. I count my blessings every day.

But I am sure you could make one up for yourself which resonates with you. Go for it! It is seriously time to start acknowledging all the things you are grateful for, not to mention telling others about the blessings you have received.

Ask Ooniemme to fill you with the feeling of gratitude and then you must set the clear intention for it to expand your awareness on all levels, so you are then open to receive…. well everything really!

And keep being grateful, even if it is only for little things in your life like, parking places, green lights, kindness … anyone who helps you with anything and that includes helpers and guides… and pets… please don’t forget your furry friends!

Another thing you can do is ask Ooniemme to help shift your mood and raise your vibration if you feel stuck… and who hasn’t felt a little stuck over the last few months? He can do this really easily because gratitude is the feeling which will shift you out of any low vibration energy. It is immensely powerful and allowing yourself to feel gratitude will empower you in many different ways. Even in a horrible situation you can find something to be grateful for and it is the start of a process which will eventually change your mind about whatever you are experiencing in your life, opening you to other possibilities.

Start now! Shifting into gratitude is the perfect way to begin seeing your life in a completely different way.

Bright blessings!

Using selenite will help you in many, many different ways. There is already a huge amount of information out there, but here are a few things you can do with this remarkable stone, which is perfect for anyone on any kind of spiritual journey. Working with it will enable you to bring light down from the higher realms into the physical body, and this in turn will always create personal transformation.

Selenite Aura Cleansing Technique.

It is easy to do and take less than a minute – perfect for most of us!

Hold your crystal and take a moment to attune to the energy. Also set the intention that you would like it to cleanse your aura. Then starting at the top of your head, comb the crystal – gently – down the front of your body. Repeat at each side and then do the front again, with the intention that you are doing the back. If you feel any particular spot feels stuck, leave the crystal there for a moment, allowing more high frequency light from the stone to penetrate the aura at this point and clear the blockage. Ground firmly at the end and thank your crystal.

Chakra Cleansing with Selenite

• Place the selenite at your base chakra, connect with the energy and using your breath set the intention to draw the energy up into your central channel, filling it completely.
• Now add an additional intention that on your out breath, you send the selenite energy out from the central channel into all the physical body chakras and this energy dissolves any blockages in the vortices.
• If you feel any particular chakra needs extra work, focus on it separately for as long as you need to.
• Disconnect from the selenite, thank your crystal, release any excess energy, ground and return.

You can use the energy of selenite to stabilise and balance your energy while you work, or to enhance the energy of the room you are working in!

• Place a piece of selenite in front of you if you are sitting during meditation
• Place over your chest if you are lying down
• Place on each side of your body if you are using other crystals on your body.
• Place selenite by the door to prevent negative energy from entering the house/room.
• Place selenite in a room to create and maintain a constant flow of calming, positive energy. It will also keep the vibration of the room high. This is particularly beneficial for a room where meditation or healing takes place.

Angelics

Due to the high frequency of the selenite vibration, it resonates with the angelic realm. It also enhances a connection to all angelics. However, some like the vibration more than others! It will enhance your connection if you want to work with: Auriel, Gabriel, Metatron, Chamuel, Uriel, Sandalphon, Seraphiel, Tzaphkiel, Raziel and Raguel.

To enhance this connection, you can combine selenite with clear apophyllite, celestite or angel phantom quartz when you are working with any angelic.

Enjoy being surrounded by the light of this lovely stone!

Bright Blessings

I have been saying for years that the real spiritual journey is only about ten inches – the journey from your head to your heart. It really is that simple, no matter what journey you are on, or how much self-development you do, or how much energetic and emotional rubbish you want to clear form your system – it is still only about ten inches. Of course, at times it can be an incredibly hard ten inches and feel like ten thousand miles, but that’s the world we live in. We are trained to be in our heads and not our hearts.

So what do we do? We have to find ways to encourage movement from thinking to feeling, from being rational to being intuitive, from being restricted to being in the flow. And, everyone will have different ways of doing this… appropriate ways for them, but there are things that help and sodalite its one of them. Working with this stone will ensure you achieve that ten inch drop with a lot more ease and grace because it clears mental confusion and gifts you with a feeling of deep inner peace. It is a stone that becomes a bridge between the worlds of thought and feeling.  It also helps you understand, not to mention believe, that you do not have to always do things the way you have always done them. Its energy reminds you that nothing will change in your life unless you actually… well, start making changes!

Sodalite is an extremely useful stone if you find yourself stuck in a state of mental confusion which is intensified by emotional turmoil…and, let’s face it, there is a lot of that about at the moment. Some days we hardly know which way to turn. But, handily and happily, sodalite will calm your mind and ease the emotional stress which will help with any situation you may find yourself struggling with.

It is a wonderful stone, not the prettiest, but certainly one of the most useful on your journey and, if you sit with it while you are filled with your confusion and all the emotions associated with the situation you find yourself in, it will clear your mind and take you to a relaxed and calm place where you can start to make appropriate choices about how you need to resolve it. And, over time, it will teach you to find a way to trust your inner knowing and your own innate wisdom.

If you need to make a decision, one way to use the stone is to lie down and place it on your brow chakra and then set your intention. You know what will be most helpful and useful to you, so find a way to put it all into words that resonate with you and your decision and just sit quietly, being open and receptive to the energy of the stone and receiving information and intuitive flashes from the parts of you that already know the solution to your problem. It’s all about quietening your mind, so you can find the answer you need. It’s already there, but there has probably been way too much noise inside your head, not to mention your heart, for you to notice it. Sodalite helps you relax and it helps you to learn to listen. Most people hear very well, but not many actually take the time and the trouble to really, really listen. They are two completely different things, but some people do confuse hearing with listening!

You can also carry the sodalite with you or sleep with it under your pillow for extra help and inspiration. But I would only recommend using it this way at night after you have worked with it for a while during the day and have cleared some of your negativity.

Chakra Work

• Sacral – allows you to feel peaceful and grounded. It also allows to reach a place inside you where you can find self-acceptance, not to mention your long, lost self-esteem.
• Throat – to calmly release emotions you have been unable to express.
• Brow –quietens the mind, dispels illusions, stimulates intuition and strengthens your connection to your intuitive skills.
• Crown – here it can be used with intention to help you in so many ways… it’s your job to discover them!

Additional Positions for Sodalite.

• To calm the mind and open it to new possibilities, not to mention clear any fear you have about making changes to allow this to happen – place sodalite, lapis lazuli and aquamarine on your forehead around the brow chakra. Set your intention and see where the combined energy of these stones takes you
• To help with any heart-based problems – place any heart chakra stone you are drawn to on your heart and sodalite on your brow chakra. It will help you see what is in your heart, acknowledge it and start to release what you no longer need. The one word of warning – sodalite when used in this way will not allow you to keep fooling yourself about what you are really holding in your heart. It is not called the stone of truth for nothing. You will find you have to be brutally truthful to yourself to being about real change. But sodalite will always give you a far better understanding of how to use the information you receive for deep spiritual healing.
• To enhance any throat chakra work you would like to do, use sodalite with any other blue stone associated with this energy centre. It works particularly well with: Blue Lace Agate, Amazonite, Blue Chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate, Larimar Lapis Lazuli, Blue Aragonite, Aquamarine and Blue Calcite.

Just holding sodalite can be extremely useful:

• held in the left hand, it is very comforting.

• held in the right hand, it releases negativity.
• held in any hand it helps you regain your composure, especially if used with intention. Use it to promote peace and tranquillity.

And, any work you want to do with Sodalite can be enhanced by calling in the angelic associated with it – the very lovely and user-freindly Archangel Michael. He is great and is always available to help and support you on that ten inch journey!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!

Working with the Eighth Planetary Ray

Chohan: Ascended Master Lady Nada

Keywords: Transmutation and Clarity

Key Qualities: Energy and soul cleansing, releasing and purification on all levels.

Additional Qualities: Courage, justice, integrity, wisdom, stability, equilibrium, unconditional love, understanding, unity and infinite expansiveness.

Colour: Seafoam green and violet.

Chakra: Solar plexus.

Purpose: Deep Cleansing

Associated Angelics: Jeremiel and Josephine

Associated Light Beings: The Pleiadians

This Planetary Ray will enable you to let go of old ties and connections that no longer serve or support you. At first this may feel uncomfortably like your entire support structure is falling away, but this has to happen so new things are able to manifest in your life.

This ray helps you clear at a cellular level, purging old false beliefs, ideas and judgments. As this kind of energy transformation is occurring rapidly for many people at this time, it is a good idea to surround yourself with this luminescent seafoam green and violet ray on a regular basis. It will help you to re-calibrate the whole of your Four Body System and bring a renewed sense of balance and equilibrium to everything.

Lady Nada oversees this planetary ray and she is always happy to help you in any way. All you have to do is ask for her to join you in any meditation and she will, offering her love and support. Her energy is lovely and you will always feel better after even a short time in her presence. Or if you would rather work with angelic or the Pleiadians, you can just ask them instead. The choice on your journey, as always, is yours.

Experiencing the Eight Ray and Anchoring its Qualities.

• Ask the Ascended Master Lady Nada to join you. Thank her for coming and take a moment to attune to her energy.
• Now ask her to surround you with the beautiful seafoam green and violet light of the Eighth Ray. Let this energy flow in, through and around you, cleansing you on all levels.
• Now ask Lady Nada to anchor and activate the qualities of the Eighth Planetary Ray of Deep Cleansing – courage, justice, integrity, wisdom, stability, equilibrium, unconditional love, understanding, unity and infinite expansiveness – in your solar plexus chakra.
• Let the energy flow into the chakra and sit quietly while it is anchored in your system.
• Thank Lady Nada, ask her to disconnect you from the energy of her planetary ray, earth any excess energy in your system, ground and return.

Clearing Meditation

Seventh Planetary Ray – Chohan Lady Portia. You can work with her in exactly the same way you work with Lady Nada – just by asking. If you prefer angelics, they are Zadkiel and Amethyst, or the angels associated with them on this ray are collectively known as the Angels of the Violet Flame… any of them will come if asked.

• Decide what you wish to release and clear from your system
• Connect to the Seventh Planetary Ray which is violet and do it with the very clear intention that you want to use this energy to clear whatever patterns you feel need to be released on any level – physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
• Now set the intention to draw the violet energy of this planetary ray in through your crown chakra, fill your central channel and then radiate the energy out into the physical body, the etheric body and then out into the subtle bodies- emotional, mental and spiritual.
• Sit quietly drawing the energy into the central channel on your in breath and sending it out through the rest of your system on your outbreath until you feel you have released everything.
• Now disconnect from the Seventh Ray and connect with the Eighth Ray and focus on what you want to create now you are free of the old thought and behaviour patterns that have been restricting and restraining you.
• One of the gifts of the Eighth Ray is that it brings great clarity, so it enables you to have a very clear idea of what you want to create and exactly how to create it. Also as it is a deeply cleansing ray, if any new blockages appear, you can use it to clear them.
• So set the intention to draw the seafoam green and violet energy of this planetary ray in through your crown chakra, fill your central channel and then radiate the energy out into the physical body, the etheric body and then out into the subtle bodies- emotional, mental and spiritual.
• Sit with this energy and let it fill the whole of your Four Body System for as long as you like.
• Disconnect, earth any excess energy and ground before you return your attention to the room.

Enjoy!

Bright Blessings!

With all the incoming energy and the energetic disruptions from the current round of solar activity, it is quite likely that at some point part of you has gone AWOL. Disappearing up your own tail pipe is, after all, a time honoured coping mechanism. But, unfortunately, we do all have to come back at some point and it’s always better to do it sooner rather than later when you seriously don’t want to come back at all. The best way to start this whole process is to fully ground your energy.

Being grounded means – being fully present in your body and feeling connected to the earth and we need to be doing both on an extremely regular basis at the moment. If you aren’t start doing it right now! You’ll know the best technique for you. Do it… repeatedly!

I know healers use grounding techniques to help themselves and anyone who comes to them for assistance, but I thought I would take a look at what people use in more orthodox healing environments. It was an interesting experience. The same thing is achieved, but in vastly different ways.

So, since we are all in desperate need of grounding and centring, not to mention earthing – that is to say, we need to discharge any excess energy in our system. We have an enormous amount of it courtesy of the solar activity at the weekend – here are a two exercises. Try them and see which one suits you.

As grounding is basically bringing your attention back to your body, this first one worked really well. You are touching your body and focused on it visually, both of which help enormously:

Using your index finger, gently trace the letters of a calming word into the palm of your opposite hand: P-E-A-C-E, C-A-L-M, S-A-F-E, or R-E-L-A-X, or, indeed,     G-R-O-U-N-D-E-D

I did this on both palms to bring balance to both sides of my body. I also wrote the same word in various parts of my aura and subtle bodies to enhance the effect. I rather liked it, though to embody the quality you want – write the words I AM before you write the quality. This will enhance the whole process.

Any word you use after the phrase I AM means you embody them fully, and on all levels. It’s just another example of how you can adapt something to make it really work for you and the whole point of any simple exercise is to see how you can adapt it to make it work for you. Play with this and see what you can do. Worst case scenario – you get the energy of the quality deeply embedded into your system. Seriously, how bad can that be?

The other exercise that I found interesting was connecting to the senses through the fingers. I usually use fingers to connect to the elements. I even teach a healing technique accessing the chakras and the associated elements through the fingers, so this different idea intrigued me. It is considered a sensory awareness exercise.  It certainly worked, but in the end, I found I preferred connecting to the elements. It had more meaning for me and it also had the extra advantage of bringing your awareness to, not only your body, but the energy of the elements. This is always healing in and of itself, so it makes the exercise even more beneficial.

The fingers and the elements

Little finger – water

Ring finger – earth

Middle finger – aether

Index finger – air

Thumb – fire

So here is my adaptation:

• Set the intention that you want to connect with your body as you touch it, bringing your attention and your energy back to your body so you can ground properly.
• Set the additional intention that you want to connect with the elemental energy held within each finger.
• Starting with water and the little finger, just work your way round your hand, gently holding each finger in turn with the other hand. It does not matter which one you use, or you can repeat the procedure on both hands if you are drawn to do this. You can also add that you would like to balance it by allowing healing energy to flow into the finger if you channel it.

Hope these techniques help make you feel a little more comfortable in this strange shifting energy!

Most people just look at the heart chakra as a whole when different blockages are found in different sections.

Why not take a look at the things listed below and see if you have any negative energy associated with them stored in your heart and then find the best way to clear it. You might also want to check the same positions in your physical heart as well to make sure everything is cleared out.

Always start by acknowledging what you find in case there is anything you need to learn from the trigger that caused it otherwise you will just have a re-trigger at some point and you’ll have to start clearing all over again.

If there is any anxiety around any of the things listed below, always ask for helpers and guides to support you and ease the release process.

Left side

• Lack of faith – in yourself or others
• Neglect of the Spirit
• Extreme physical / mental activity

Right side

• Arrogance
• Aggressive behaviour
• Problems with the fraternal / masculine relationship

Centre

• Insecurity
• Fear
• Scarcity issues

You may also want to take a look at these things and see if there are any blockages associated with these as well. Traces of these may also be found in the solar plexus and the sacral, so it’s worth looking there as well if you progress to this list.

1. Lack of self-love or acceptance.
2. . Lack of personal power or fear
3. People draining your life force
4. Self-doubt or worry

The stone I would recommend to help you while you work with any of these issues is Green Aventurine. It is a wonderful heart chakra stone, but the most beneficial thing about it is the fact that it has the most amazing gentle and soothing energy, which will be just what you need.

The crystal is used to clear and activate the heart chakra. It also protects the heart, shielding it from anyone who wants to tap into your energy and drain it.

It will also encourage you to release old thought and behaviour patterns, so new growth can occur on all levels, and in new directions. It helps this process by soothing the emotional body and it also assists with the clearance of old, emotional woundings which may be causing heart ache. Another helpful thing it does is allow you to see that every event which caused these woundings does not have to be examined or analysed or re-experienced. They just have to be released.

Lastly, it has a gentle grounding effect on your energy field and it can act as an anchor, allowing you to remain stable and during times of upheaval and change. I think that is just what we all need right now.

One of the easiest ways to allow the positive energy of Green Aventurine is to sit quietly with the crystal in your non-dominant (or incoming) hand for twenty minutes. It will automatically open your palm chakra as soon as you start to hold it and the energy will flow up your arm and into your system. You can enhance this process by setting the intention that you want to breathe it in on every in breath, and release any blocked energy it disrupts on your out breath.

Aventurine and the Solar Plexus

Aventurine will have a calming effect on any negative emotions which are stuck in this chakra or the lower abdominal area of the body, especially anger. To do this, place one stone on your heart and one on either the solar plexus chakra or the lower part of the stomach. Then using your breath, draw the energy of the stone in and release any negativity from your body and these two chakras. All you have to do is keep doing this until you feel the blockages have been cleared.

Journey well with your heart and green aventurine!

Lithium Quartz

With all the shifts and changes happening around us, not to mention within us, stress relief is something which should always be included in your self-care package and one of the best stones to help you with this is lithium quartz – a powerful quartz with the mineral lithium included in the crystalline matrix. It will bring calmness and balance when you sit with the stone, even moreso when you meditate with it.

It is also helpful during Light Code downloads or during periods of high solar activity because it works directly with the nervous system, soothing it. So, if you are finding it difficult to handle the sudden blasts of high frequency energy, the crystal can be used as a bridge between energy and matter, allowing your body to adapt more easily to the changes and assimilate the light in the most appropriate way for you at the time of the influx.

One of the best ways to work with the crystal is just to hold it and the best results come from having a piece in each hand. But if you only have one piece, that’s fine! The vibration of the crystal moves from your hands to your heart, opening the heart. Then it moves up to connect your heart to your head by activating the brow chakra. All this is done very calmly with a soothing but powerful energy and all you have to do is let it happen.  And the process is enhanced if you add an intention to breathe the crystalline energy up from your hands, along your arms and into your heart. It increases the flow rate.

After that the energy will automatically move up to the crown chakra, and, if you add the intention that you would like the crystalline vibration to align the brow and the crown chakras, it will do just that! This means it will form a connection between the mind and the spirit… always helpful!

At the crown it will cause the chakra to open more fully (and remove any blockages at this point in the chakra system), enhancing your connection to all the higher aspects of yourself and the higher realms. It will also move upwards to the transpersonal chakras if this part of your energy system is up and running and fully connected to the physical body system.

As Lithium Quartz resonates with all the chakras, it can be placed on any of them to powerfully cleanse each vortex of any negative energy. Also if you hold the additional intention of activating the chakra you are working with, the energy of the stone will do this and the activation will be at the most appropriate level for you at the time you work with the stone.

It resonates particularly well with the brow chakra and, when you use it there, it makes it easier to receive visions, information and guidance from the higher realms, including messages from helpers and guides, especially when used with this intention. It will also bring in Light Code downloads if you hold this intention while using it.

As clear quartz is a Master Healer, when you use it with this inclusion, it is extremely useful for healing on multiple levels. This is done by holding the intention for this type of healing while you are using the stone and letting its soothing but strong vibrational frequency clear any energetic imbalances you may have in both the physical and subtle bodies.  It will release any negative attachments and energetic patterns from anywhere in the Four Body System and you can place it anywhere on the physical body if you sense an imbalance or blockage. It will transmute the energy, clearing the area you are working with.

Lithium quartz works amazingly well with other lithium stones – particularly pink kunzite and lepidolite. They will all reduce stress and help with fatigue when used on their own, but the effect is stronger when they are used in combination. Also using the stone with Chrysocolla will help with these emotional and physical states as well.

If you want to fill yourself with peaceful energy, use the stone with Celestite, Scolecite, Petalite, or Lavender Fluorite.

If you want to enhance the way you connect with the higher realms or your helpers and guides use the stone with  Nirvana Quartz, Phenacite, Moldavite, or Danburite.

One way of using lithium quartz to reduce stress levels is to place one on your brow, one on your heart and hold a third stone in your dominant hand. Then set the intention to breathe in the energy of the stones and breathe out any stress and tension from your body.

If you do not have three stones, tune in and see where you feel you need to place your individual stone to get the result you want from working with it and set up the same breathing pattern.

One last thing – because of the pink colour of the lithium, the stone works really well with the heart chakra. It will open the chakra, activating it, and this will cause a huge surge of loving energy in your system. It will then flow around your aura. It is lovely, so do try it!

Enjoy working with the stone.

Bright Blessings!
