Ong So Hung

This sound is so simple, but incredibly powerful, mainly because when you chant it, it helps you really appreciate your innate connection to …..well, just about everything!

Also, while chanting the words it allows you to acknowledge your own creative power, your unique Divinity and your connection to all conscious beings – so that includes: plants, animals, crystals and, of course, all those very lovely light beings! When you relax into the sound and the connections it forms around you – it can be quite a profound experience. You can also find it gets rather crowded around you when you start to become aware of all the beings who are with you and quietly supporting you… all day every day!

All you really have to do is set a very clear intention of what you want the sound you are making to actually do… sound + intent = healing or result. Thank you, Jonathan Goldman!

It is also wise to remember it is called sound healing, not singing healing.

You absolutely do not have to have a perfect voice, or even a nice voice to make the most of your individual sound.

It’s quite simple. All you have to do is – take a breath, set your intention and open your mouth, letting your sound out. Even bad sound is still sound… and every sound you make is, in fact, sacred sound. It is an expression of your heart, through your throat and voice, whenever you make sound. You know that really, even if it hasn’t occurred to you on a conscious level before. You only have to listen to your voice when you are happy, sad, angry, frustrated. Your voice is different every time and the energy that generates the sound is always coming from your heart, even the bad stuff. It’s still there – stuck in your heart waiting to be expressed. Sound can help you do this in a safe way.

If you’re not always comfortable expressing anything like this… chant while holding a piece of chrysocolla. Helpfully, it contains both the blue and green rays which will help you express the heart chakra through the throat chakra with ease and grace. It is a lovely stone and it always ready to help. Its key words are – sacred sound. So, go and get a piece and start making sound.

So, why Ong So Hung when there are loads of mantras and seed sounds and even vowels which soothe the heart? Well, to be honest, I just like it and it’s my blog! But you can use many sounds:

AH

YAM

MA

SHANTI – this is absolutely lovely! As is – OM SHANTI SHNATI SHANTI

SO HUM (OR HUNG) – this is SO relaxing you may well just nod off!

These are just a few examples, but words you use are not as important as the thought you have before you open your mouth. That always determines what your sound does.

So, let’s explain Ong So Hung

Ong means – the creative consciousness

So Hung means – I AM that.

So when you chant this mantra you are basically saying – I AM the creative consciousness. Many people think of it as communicating on a very deep level that you are, in fact, in every cell in your physical body, the universal creative consciousness. That’s a thought and a half, isn’t it? Go with it!!

As with any mantra, repeating it, gives it more power. This is because the more you chant it, the more the mantra resonates inside you and outside you. It gets into your physical body and your subtle bodies and your aura. And, you eventually come into resonance with the sound of these immensely powerful words. You start to vibrate at the same frequency as them, so your vibrational rate rises every time you chant the words until it is elevated to a much higher level of awareness and connection. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want that?

There are all sorts of articles on this particular mantra and you may find that there are instructions for how many times you need to chant it or for how many minutes or which mudra you need to use while chanting. You can go with that if it appeals to you, but the way I was trained – well, it goes straight back to your intention. The thoughts you have determine what your sound does, no matter how long or how many times you chant them, or what position are you are holding your hands in.

But that is in my little world. If yours is different, feel free to go with what is comfortable and meaningful to you. Everything works magnificently with sound! So just chant the mantra and set the intention that you want it to clear your heart and then open after the release process is complete – always at the most appropriate level for you at the time you are making your sound. It can be both healing and soothing… tremendously so in some cases.

But, whatever your sound does, you will always feel better after making it. Some people experience feelings of great compassion, warmth and love using the mantra. Others report feeling both vulnerable and courageous at the same time. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter… it’s your sound, your journey and your healing and release process, so everything is great.

When you first start using the mantra – or any sound in your heart – you may bring up feelings which have been trapped there for some time…. sadness, grief, disappointment, sorrow. This is normal because the mantra opens your heart, allowing you to access everything you have buried in there… and we all generally have a lot! All you have to do is acknowledge the feelings and allow your sound to soothe them. Some people even allow the sound to guide them through the feelings. You’ll know what to do if this happens to you.

A good thing to do if something sad comes up is to adapt your intention to something like – each time I make my sound I release…….. and it floats painlessly away on my breath with ease and grace. This will enable you to clear the uncomfortable feelings much faster.

At the end of the day, Ong Sohung brings an exquisite peacefulness to your heart. It soothes the heart and it brings an amazing feeling of being connected to the Divine…. whatever you perceive that to be. It also connects you to your own Divinity. It is quite lovely.

And, an added bonus if you really don’t like using your voice – you can chant it silently. Fabulously, silent sound still works…. as long as you have set your intention before you start repeating the mantra inside your head.

 

So, there really is just no excuse for not using sound. So, why not just give in gracefully and give it a go! If all else fails, just go to youtube and find someone who has recorded the chant and chant along with them if that makes it easier for you!

Have fun!

Bright Blessings

8/8 is called The Lion’s Gate because the Sun enters the constellation of Leo at this time of year. There is lots and lots written about this particular portal because it is powerful. It coincides with the heliacal rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and Sirius is so important because it is considered to be the spiritual sun for this part of the galaxy. So the blue light it emits is extremely potent for anyone who is currently on an ascension journey and the Light Code downloads which also occur at this time of year are also designed to push you straight out of your comfort zone and move you onwards and upwards – quite literally as far as your vibrational rate is concerned!

This high frequency light… in all its forms during this busy period (starting on 26^th July – peaking on 8^th August – closing at the end of August) is designed to re-calibrate the whole of your Four Body System… as long as you allow it, of course… and when it is embodied in your energy system it will then allow you to access much higher levels of awareness.

But, please be aware that this is an extremely powerful portal (or stargate) and the incoming energy is profound. Also, if you align with it rather than resist it, it will provide you with an astonishing and remarkable opportunity to grow. It is designed to make you expand.

The only word that can really be used to describe this whole period is intense – to the point where everything can feel more than a little bizarre if you are a very sensitive individual. All you can do is hang in there… and make sure you ask for help if you need it. You all have teams of helpers and guides who stand ready to assist you, but you do actually have to ask them!

My advice – ask right now for help and support over the whole period! And, ask for whatever if for your highest and greatest good. Also, make sure you ask your helpers and guides to align you with any incoming energy whenever it appears and re-calibrate the whole of your Four Body System after each light download. There’s going to be more than one!! That way you will feel a lot more comfortable over this highly energetic period.

You may also find that anything attached to your old 3D consciousness could come up for review – old thought and behaviour patterns and many, many memories brought up by the energy of the eclipse last week. It will be difficult to deal with if you find you have an attachment to the old emotional energies, but just look at the things that come up for you and try and move into detachment and non-judgement. These are two very powerful states that will allow you to examine everything without reconnecting, and they will enable you to release anything which is outdated and no longer resonates with you – on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Release whatever you can, so the spaces taken by the negative energy in your system can be filled with something more beneficial and certainly something of a much, much higher vibration. And remember, the more you clear, the more space you have for the high frequency light that will be available to all on the earthplane at this time.

On way of clearing your system is to work with Lady Nada and the Eighth Planetary Ray. There is a blog with cleansing meditations – https://crystaldragongail.com/?p=346

Three crystals you can use during this period to help you to download, the incoming energy, integrate it and re-calibrate afterwards are…

Lithium Quartz – This high vibrational stone will help all three stages of this process and it is particularly helpful if you use it on the brow chakra. In some cases – if you are visually oriented – you may even see the Light Codes when working with the stone here, which is nice! Not that it works for me because I sense things, but many people have been able to describe the codes if they function another way. But, basically, while the lithium quartz raises your vibration, taking it up to a level where download and integration is a lot more comfortable, it will also keep you nice and calm during the whole process. Also, some of the minerals in lithium quartz have a very grounding and balancing effect on your energy system, so they help to anchor the Light Codes into your system. This is enormously useful!

Kyanite – because this stone is striated the groves act as a channel for the incoming energy – how amazing is that! I love it! Just put your kyanite at your crown and let it work! It also helps you to ease into a meditative state, which will enhance the download process. And, additionally to all this is clears low vibrational energy from your system and clears and aligns the chakras – all of which makes integrating this new energy much, much easier.

Rutilated Quartz – would be my choice for working with all this new energy. It is one of the very best stones to integrate energy at any level – physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Also one of its key qualities is attunement and being attuned by the crystal to any incoming energy makes it much easier for you to embody it. And, as well as helping with the whole download process, the crystal also contains cosmic light and it a powerful tool for promoting spiritual growth of any kind – not just acceleration from Light Code downloads. It will help you work with releasing any negative energy you may have in your system before you download anything as well. It simply dissolves it, due to its high vibrational rate. The other huge advantage to using rutilated quartz is that as it clears negativity it supports your energy field during any emotional releases, keeping you in a nice, safe space while it continues the clearing process and clears your aura of any rubbish that might be accumulating there.

And, last, but not least – on a physical level – using rutilated quartz is good at the moment because it helps with exhaustion and energy depletion. Any big energy shifts will make you feel extremely tired, so this particular variety of quartz will help you deal with any debilitating symptoms.

At the end of the day – this is your journey and the way you interact with any of this incoming energy will depend on where you are on that journey and the choices you make before you allow the Light or the Light Codes into your Four Body System. Choose wisely!

But, one thing you should consider doing on a regular basis, besides grounding, because you need to be stable to allow more and more energy into your system. Make sure you earth any excess energy. They are two completely different things.

Bright Blessings!

Amazonite – what a stone! And it is particularly useful for us at the moment because one of the main things it does is to help you discover what your personal truth is. It then aligns you with all aspects of this very personal truth and then helps you express it. It is one of the best things you can use to find your Authentic Self.

Of course, some people find truth is difficult. It is not always an easy thing to come to terms with… on so many levels. But at the end of the day, we have to be true to ourselves otherwise… well, what is the point? We can’t live someone else’s truth, though many of us have tried… and failed! It’s a completely ridiculous idea really, and using amazonite on a regular basis will help release what someone else thinks is true for you and find out what is really true for you. It will help you clarify what particular truth resonates with you.

Also by using amazonite, the stone will actively support when you need to speak your highest truth. It will enable you to communicate your thoughts and feelings both harmoniously and truthfully and it is extremely helpful if you find it difficult to tell the truth. It allows you to move beyond the fear of being judged for what you want to say or do as well as the fear of causing a confrontation and it helps you find new and, often exciting way to express yourself – on all levels.

It also enhances your ability to communicate more effectively by allowing you to really see how the words you use on a regular basis have created your current personal reality, and after your sudden realisation of what you have been doing, it will show you how to change what you say to get what you really want.

A good example would be if you always talk about what you want in the future tense. It fools you in to thinking you are going to manifest the thing because you are constantly talking about it and thinking about it. But, unless you start talking in the present tense and bringing it into your reality in the NOW with your words, it is never going to happen. Future tense puts it firmly in the future and unless you have a handy time travel device, you can never actually be in the future. You can only exist in the present so speaking solely in the future tense will never allow anything to manifest in the present… unless you change what you say!

Amazonite does most of its real work in the throat and heart chakras (including the higher heart or thymus chakra) and this is why it allows you to express what is in your heart – usually with great honestly to yourself and others. Placing the stone on these chakras will help you enormously, especially if you have two stones and can do them both together. If not, one at a time is fine!

Amazonite is also a very calming stone, so if there is any anxiety around speaking your truth, it will help diffuse this and allow you to deal with the anxiety. One of its many benefits is that it helps you to remain calm and unemotional.

You can use it with lots of other stones to enhance communication, but I would recommend chrysocolla above all of them. The key phrase for this stone is sacred sound and it carries the blue and the green ray, allowing for enhanced expression of the heart through the throat. They work incredibly well together.

Apart from mediating all the usual ways with amazonite, one easy way to expose yourself to its beneficial vibrational rate for long periods of time is to build a simple grid and leave it running. All you need is one amazonite and some clear quartz points – the minimum is four but you can use as many as you like really. You’ll know what’s best for you when you build your grid.

Clean all the stones and place the amazonite in the centre and then place the quartz – point out – around it. Then ask the quartz to absorb the vibrations from the amazonite, hold them within its crystalline matrix and amply them. And, finally, release them into the environment, filling the room where you have built your grid with the energy of amazonite. And, you will have the added bonus of the clear quartz energy as well! Always helpful as the key words for this stone are – clarity and power. These are seriously useful qualities if you want to be courageous and speak your truth.

The only other thing you need to do before you build your grid is to decide what you want to do with the energy. As the stone being amplified by the quartz is amazonite you have two options. But as clear intentions always get clear results, I would only use one of these at a time:

• Learning what your personal truth is and learning to express it harmoniously without any kind of anxiety and fear
• Using the energy for stress relief, allowing it to soothe emotions and bring calmness and peacefulness to the room where the grid is.

Another way to use the grid (or a single amazonite) is to simply gaze at the stone and ask for the energy it is emitting to dissolve any negativity in your Four Body System. But because the stone works particularly well with the emotional body and it soothes the emotions, pay particular attention to what comes up in these two areas and use the energy to disperse anything you find.

All you have to do really is sit with the stone and allow it to help you. It will empower you as you search for all aspects of your Authentic Self and give you the courage to keep doing it because it is not always easy being truthful with yourself.

Another totally different thing amazonite does which is extremely useful – it will block geopathic stress, and, fabulously, it will absorb microwaves and cell phone emanations, and protect against EM pollution. Place it near computers and other electronics, or carry it if you use your phone a lot during the day. But, always, PLEASE, cleanse the crystal every night. It doesn’t like having its matrix cram packed with all that rubbish. It will do a marvellous job of saving you from all those horrible vibrations, so you need to be mindful and look after it… and always be grateful!

So, if you don’t have a piece of amazonite… go and get some!

Oh, and you can use the simple grid structure with any stone in the middle. It’s just a basic design, and the quartz will still amply the vibration, filling the room with the energy where ever you have placed the stones.

Bright Blessings!

A lot has been written about this powerful variation of quartz, so feel free to check out all the details if you want to. But with the massive energy shifts due this month, I want to focus on what it can do for you to help you get through them and come out ready to work with the energy of Lions Gate on 8^th August.

I would definitely be using the stone before the 25^th – the Mayan Day Out of Time. The energy associated with this day is always the energy of letting go, so if I were you, I’d start the release process now, so there is less to let go of on the day itself. It’s always easier!

The qualities of citrine are personal power, self-confidence, responsibility and will power, which is why it resonates with the both sacral and solar plexus chakras. It helps you to become aware of who you really are on all levels and it also encourages you to become that person, to embody your true, Authentic Self.

Of course, any yellow stone will be helpful at the solar plexus chakra, but the joy of using citrine is that it does not hold or accumulate negative energy. It transmutes it and grounds it. It will, continually, take any negativity you generate and turn it into positive energy. It is a massively useful and efficient stone…. and, really, everyone ought to have one!

It works on both physical and energetic levels, transforming negative energy in any form – thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns – into positive ones, seeking them out relentlessly where ever we have carefully buried them in the Four Body system. It is also particularly useful to help you achieve self-empowerment and for allowing you to reach a state where you have a really, really healthy self-esteem. How good it that?

The best way to work with citrine on your solar plexus chakra is just to place it there for fifteen minutes and ask it to help you see what energy you have stuck in this part of your chakra system. Then ask the crystal to clear it.

It really is that simple, though if you have lots of separate issues lodged in this chakra, it might be best to do fifteen minutes for each thing to ensure everything is completely cleared.  The citrine is completely capable of just clearing the chakra of everything, but what is the point? If you do not take the time to learn what you are doing to generate negativity in this area by asking to be shown this information, you will just re-generate it and have to do the exercise all over again. It is always best to go to the root cause rather than just deal with the symptom – which is presenting as the blockage.

And, while you are working with the solar plexus chakra, it is also useful to use the citrine to clear the sacral. After all, how can you expect to be empowered and self-confident if you have no self-worth or self-love in the lower chakra? Sometimes it’s even best to start at the sacral before you move on to the solar plexus. Just tune in and see what is right for you. You’ll always know!

It can also be used at the heart to clear out any emotional rubbish you have stored there. Just sit with it for the fifteen minutes, holding whatever intention is best for you while you are working with the stone. Also at this chakra, the energy of citrine will help you learn to accept joy into your life, which is a fabulous thing! Who wouldn’t want to take fifteen minutes out of their busy life to do that? And, if you find you won’t do this… well, maybe it’s seriously time to start asking yourself why….

At the brow it will clear both your inner and outer vision, allowing you to see clearly on all levels. It is particularly helpful here. It will also clear the crown and you will probably find it helpful to work with both these chakras together.

Lastly, since we are all exhausted quite a lot of the time at the moment, citrine can be used at the base chakra to boost both the energy levels of the chakra and the physical body. It’s the same fifteen minutes and all you have to do is sit with stone in the chakra and hold the intention of breathing all the lovely citrine energy in to the  chakra and breathing out any negativity you may have stored there.

You can also use the stone on the adrenals and the thyroid, if you are really tired. Personally, I would also use it on the kidneys to replenish the chi the body stores in that part of the body. It will be your intention that does all these things. Make it very clear so the energy reaches the right place and does the right thing.

When you are specifically using citrine on the solar plexus, it will help you access deeper levels of your personal power and will power, it will increase your self-respect and it will help make a deeper connection to the brow chakra – when used with this intention.

You can start by checking the energy levels of the chakra and if it feels over energised – use a citrine point, and place the stone on the chakra with the point going down to the base. Your intention will be to earth any excess energy in the chakra.

If it feels under energised, place a tumblestone in the chakra and ask for the crystal to clear it and re-energise it.

If it feels as if you have loads of negative energy stuck in the chakra, use a tumblestone in the chakra and your intention will be for the stone to clear it.

Another way to work with citrine is to lie down and place the crystal at your crown and see or sense the crystalline energy radiating out of the stone, flowing down to the crown chakra. It will automatically flow into the central channel from this point.

Let this happen and set the intention that once the central channel is full of the citrine energy. it slowly radiates out into all the chakras, clearing them. Then, when you feel the chakra system is cleansed and balanced by this energy, set the intention that you want the citrine energy to radiate out from the central channel into the physical body, the etheric body, the emotional body and the mental body, cleansing them as well.

Another meditation you can use to work with citrine energy combines visualisation with physical stones. You visualise a sphere of citrine energy at your crown, letting the energy spread out to fill your aura and cleanse it.

You also place a citrine stone on your brow and sacral chakras, letting the energy cleanse the chakras for a few moments and when you have fully attuned to these three sources of quartz energy, visualise a beam of golden light flowing from the sphere above your head, going down and connecting the brow chakra to the sacral. The brow is the higher octave of the sacral, so they are connected any way. This deepens the connection.

You will find that using citrine this way is particularly helpful of you are having trouble concentrating, struggling with low self-esteem  or if you are feeling overwhelmed by worries and responsibilities. It will, without a doubt, if done regularly, also improve your self-confidence.

Lastly, the energy of citrine is really helpful for anyone who is sensitive and or who has a tendency to be overwhelmed by outside influences. If you wear or carry the stone, it will increase the amount of light you hold in your aura and your subtle bodies, making it harder for low vibrational frequencies to take hold in your system.

All in all, it is a wonderful stone, so I’d be rushing out to buy some right now if you don’t have any!

Bright Blessings!

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!
