After so many energy shifts recently, moonstone is the perfect stone to re-balance on all levels. Its energy is, after all, soothing and balancing, so it will help with anything you are experiencing as you transition through all the chaos. It is also a deeply cleansing stone and will work on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, even in the subtle bodies.

It is particularly helpful if you want to find out exactly what is causing an imbalance within any part of the Four Body System. When you meditate with the stone, it will help you identify any self-destructive cycles you may be manifesting which need to be cleared. It will also help you become aware of your emotional responses before they change into a negative thought or behaviour pattern. It is one of the very best stones for any kind of emotional healing.

Moonstone and the Chakras

Moonstone can be placed on any chakra that is out of balance. But, whatever chakra you choose to work with, always make sure that you set the clear intention to use the energy of the stone to cleanse the energy centre before you start.

• Crown – use at this chakra during meditation to bring a deeper sense of spiritual awareness. You may also wish to place an additional moonstone on the brow while you do this. Moonstones work well when you want to enhance your awareness in this way because they represent your personal identification with the Divine, oneness, peace and wisdom.
• Brow – use at this chakra to open your mind to hoping and wishing, inspiration and spontaneity, serendipity and synchronicity. When you work with the stone here regularly it will re-connect you to your intuition, bringing many flashes of insight.
• Throat – use at this chakra to release any emotions you have not been able to express with your voice. They will be stuck in this chakra until you clear the energy or speak the words you have been afraid or unable to speak.
• Heart – it opens this chakra, and allows you to become more receptive to all your inner feelings, especially any you may have repressed. They will need to be acknowledged and cleared before healing can occur on deeper levels.
• Solar Plexus – use at this chakra to clear any emotional blockages.
• Sacral – it is particularly beneficial at this chakra because the chakra holds the energy of the water element and moonstone is a water element stone.
• All chakras – lay down place one moonstone on each chakra and let them work. Or if you only have one, place the stone at the base chakra, leaving it there until you get the sense it has finished working and repeat going all the way up to the crown.

Additional Ways to Use Moonstone

• If you are going to meditate to restore emotional balance, use rhodochrosite at the solar plexus and a moonstone on the heart.
• Another way to use moonstone for emotional healing is to lay down and place the stone in the centre of the chin – this is the moon centre – after setting a clear intention for what you want to achieve while you work with the stone.
• Place moonstones over the heart and solar plexus while meditating to balance your emotions.
• Wear a pendant with a chain long enough to allow the stone to hang over your heart.

• While lying down, place moonstone in a line from the breastbone to the navel with an additional atone over the heart.

• Meditating with moonstone takes you deep inside the Self and while you work with it, it will help you identify any missing piece or pieces of the puzzle that is your life on the earthplane. It can also reveal parts of the soul that have been left behind or forgotten, so you can recall them

Soothing Moonstone Layout

You will need five stones.

A beneficial side effect of this healing grid is that creativity and intuition will be enhanced.

• Set the intention that you want to use the energy of the moonstones to relax you and you are ready and willing to allow their soothing energy to flow in, through and around your body, clearing any blockages you are ready to release while you are working with the stones.
• Place a moonstone on the front of each hipbone.
• Place a moonstone in the dip of each shoulder by the armpit.
• Place the final moonstone the top of the head just touching it.
• Lie and relax in this position for about 10 – 15 minutes, after a while you should feel a soothing energy flowing through the body.
• Ground firmly before you remove the stones and send them thoughts of love and gratitude for their help.

One last immensely useful thing that moonstone does is to allow you to absorb what you need from the Universe, though this is, of course, not necessarily what you want. It also allows you to intuitively understand this process and flow with it rather than resist it.

I hope you enjoy working with the lovely stone! It will always help.

Bright Blessings!

Balancing your Energy Ready for the Equinox with Quartz

This crystal is a Master Healer. It is very powerful – make sure you have a very clear intention when you work with it!

You can use any quartz – all you have to do is decide which variety will give you the best result.

It will depend on:

the energetic state you are in before you sit with your crystal

and

the energetic state you want to be in when you have finished sitting with your crystal!

If you are looking for recommendations – I would use clear quartz and then amethyst. The high frequency energy held deep within clear quartz crystalline matrix carries the power to clear your mind by cleansing your thoughts. So this will help with absolutely anything you are trying to deal with. It is so often the thoughts in our mind that cause us a problem! It is the way we describe something inside our head that determines our experience of it.

And then when you have cleared your energy, use the amethyst because it works as an energetic shield, holding spiritual light around the physical body, which is especially useful during any periods of change and transition. It will keep you stable. Also since amethyst is a Violet Flame crystal, it will radiate this deeply cleansing and protective energy out into your Four Body System, keeping you safe and snug and very, very comfortable while the chaos continues around you. It’s going to be there for quite a while… how lucky for us!

All you have to do is:

1. Set a very clear intention of what you want to achieve while you work with your crystal.
2. Hold it in your non-dominant (or in-coming) hand, and using your breath, draw the energy of the crystal in to your energy system through your palm chakra.
3. Then let it flow up your arm and into your body.
4. Keep breathing the energy in until your physical body is full and then let it overflow into the rest of your Four Body System.
5. When you reach this stage and the crystalline energy is flowing, you may wish to add the intention that you want to release any negative energy – which has been disrupted by the crystal you are working with – on each out breath. This is optional and you will know if you want to do it.
6. At the end, earth any excess energy, ground, thank your crystal and return your awareness to your surroundings.

To give you an idea of how the different varieties of quartz can help you, here is a bit of information. You can always look up more details if you think you need them. But, you will probably find you are just drawn to one type from the list below and you can run with it, guided only by your own intuition. The body ALWAYS knows the frequency it lacks…just allow your eyes will be drawn to it. The mind often confuses us as soon as it sees words and descriptions by trying to figure out what it thinks we need. The body just knows… always trust it!

• Clear Quartz – power and clarity. Its high frequency will raise your vibrational rate, helping you rise out of any low vibrational energies that are stuck in your energy system. It will then clear them.
• Smoky Quartz – grounding. This will stabilise your energy system, but very gently. It will also clear lower vibrational energetic states.
• Amethyst – cleansing and uplifting. This will harmonize your energy system by powerfully cleansing it at a very deep level. It is particularly useful at the heart chakra. It is used with the intention of clearing the chakra and, when it is held in the vortex, it will pull out any blockages without the need for you to reconnect to the energy or the situation that caused it. It also helps you uncover your true self.
• Citrine – positive energy. This quartz transmutes any negative energy in any form into positive energy… eventually. If you are determined to remain in a bad mood, for whatever reason, it will take a little longer. As soon as the crystal starts to clear you out, you are already busy generating even more negative energy! But if you want to release anything, this is the stone to help you do that!
• Rose Quartz – unconditional love. This stone is not for the faint hearted. Yes, it will absolutely give you access to the beautiful frequency of unconditional love, but if you are not ready to deal with any old emotional pain stored in your heart space which is not vibrating at this very high frequency, the stone will immediately bring it up front and personal and insist that you deal with it! Sometimes a different stone at the heart will be more helpful…. my recommendation is always unakite because it holds the frequencies of pink and green – the heart chakra in balance. It is also a lot more gentle. Or amethyst – see above.

Have fun with your quartz … which ever variety you choose!

Bright Blessings!

LIGHTING UP YOUR CELLS

This is an adaptation of an exercise from the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul. The original used the energy and light of the Sun to illuminate the cells of the physical body.  However, everyone is different and not everyone actually needs the same energy at the same time. So why not let your body choose the type of energy it would like at the time you do the exercise? It always seems the best way to me… so, what do you do?

• Sit quietly and tune in to your body, or the particular part of your body that needs help. Ask what energy it needs to revitalise one of the cells and start the illumination process.
• When you have your answer, connect to the energy and intend that it starts to flow through the healing channels into your hands, or you can simply set the intention that the energy flows to the cell you choose to work with. You can simply breathe it in to the area you have chosen to work with.
• Now just pick a cell, go inside and fill it with light of the energy you have chosen to work with. You can visualise the cell filling with the energy, or let the energy flow to your hands and place them on your body in the correct area.
• Now pick another cell and light it up as well. It can be near your original cell or it can be somewhere else entirely. Just go with what your body tells you it needs.
• Now just keep going around your body visualizing individual cells filling with this energy and becoming very, very bright, fully illuminated and giving off life force energy, so it can flow into other cells. It will be like a huge chain reaction once you start and eventually your body will be full of light at a cellular level.
• Stay in this space until you feel you have enough light inside your body and then ask your body if it wants to keep the light or if it needs you to earth the excess energy so it can re-balance itself. You will know what to do.
• Ground and return.

LIGHT BATHING

This is another useful technique for bringing light into your body and your subtle bodies. You can either set your intention to connect with your soul and ask your soul to bathe you in soul light… always fabulous… and then you just sit quietly while the light flows in, through and around the whole of your Four Body System. It will push out any low vibrational energy and replace it automatically, but if there is any specific negative energy you want to target and release just add it to your intention by naming it.

You can also connect to any helper or guide and ask them to bathe you with the light frequencies which are associated with them. Angelics and Ascended Masters will all be happy to do this, as long as you ask.

Or you can intend to sit quietly and set the intention to connect with light frequencies which are being emitted from the higher realms. This allows them to download into your Four Body System. All you have to do is to ask for this to happen with ease and grace and for only the most appropriate frequencies for you to download. You should also ask for your energy system to be re-calibrated and stabilised at the most appropriate frequency for you when you have finished as well.

Any of these exercises will help you increase your light quotient … that is increase the amount of light you hold in your Four Body System.

This is always useful because it means any lower vibrational energies – generated by yourself or frequencies you absorb from other people – will not be able to stay in your system. How fab is that?

Enjoy playing with whatever light you are guided to use… or you can use healing energies like Reiki or Mahatma. These are only basic exercises. It’s your job to adapt them so you can make the most of them.

Bright Blessings.

Labradorite

Qualities

♥ Transformation ♥ Promotes Psychic Abilities ♥ Strengthens Will-Power ♥ Stimulates Imagination ♥ Calming ♥

Angel: Raphael

Affirmations to work with labradorite:

I open to enhancing my connection to my intuition on all levels

Or

I AM ready to transform on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Labradorite works well with other crystals. The best ones to use are: turquoise, sugilite, jade, obsidian, and rose quartz.

Labradorite is best described as a life-changing crystal. It opens up the mind to multiple levels of consciousness which often go way beyond everyday reality and our old, out-dated belief systems. It prepares the body and soul for ascension and increases self-mastery.

Labradorite helps you to become the person you were always destined to be. It cleanses your aura and your chakras, allowing you to remove all the negative thoughts and behaviour patterns that are preventing you from reaching your full potential. It allows you to understand your destiny, the path you chose before you came to the earthplane.

Labradorite helps you to recognise that you are as being of light, transcending limitations of the past and thoughts of the future, and embrace the infinite possibilities of the moment. It allows you to just be and know that the light is always there, surrounding you on all levels. If you meditate with the crystal, it enhances this healthy way of thinking.

Chakras:

Earthstar, Palm, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Throat, Brow, Crown and Soul Star

It stimulates the palm chakras, which means if you are a healer, it will boost the amount of energy flowing through your hands. It also helps develop the hands’ sensitivity, making it useful for anyone who uses the power of touch to heal

If you place a piece of labradorite between your feet, it will stimulate the earthstar chakra and enhance grounding through this sub-transpersonal energy centre if it is open and functioning in your extended chakra system.

If you place it on the sacral chakra and visualise the energy of the stone flowing into the physical body through the vortex it will bring about a very deep, healing experience.

If you place it over the heart chakra to shield yourself from low level, angry, malevolent energies

At the throat chakra it stimulates stronger psychic communication abilities, which you may manifest in a range of different ways.

At the brow chakra intuition and intellect are balanced by the stone, illusions are dispelled and true intentions are seen more easily. It will also bring a new understanding of the dimension of time, envisioning the past, future, and distant places.

At the crown chakra, it will allow direct contact with the Divine Mind, and you will begin to be aware that you are getting direct messages from Spirit.

Labradorite should be placed high up on the body for the best results because it resonates best with the upper chakras. Ear rings in particular are particularly helpful to enhance intuition and contact with helpers and guides and all the higher aspects of yourself.

The Aura

Place a labradorite under your pillow at night. This will allow its energy to be present in your aura for an extended period of time each day and it will just continue working. As an added bonus, if you do this, it will also help you sleep. Also if you stroke golden labradorite through the aura it will mend any tears.

Additional Information for Maintenance of your Energy System

• keeps the energy field clear, which is helpful for anyone who has a tendency to pick up on other people’s emotional issues.

• it maintains your baseline energy level, preventing people who overwork from becoming utterly depleted

• clears negativity from the aura, and it seals it to prevent energy leaks.

• protects and cushions the aura by helping to deflect unwanted energies.

• prevents energy leakage, and others from tapping into and draining your personal energy.

Labradorite spheres are ideal for cleansing the negative energy in your living space, in various rooms and common areas.

Also if you work with labradorite on a regular basis it will help you with all of the things listed below:

• promotes wisdom, understanding and patience

• relieves stress

• clears fear and insecurity.

• calms an overactive mind and energizes the imagination

• encourage self-awareness

• brings forgotten memories to light and facilitates their understanding

• brings joy and spontaneity back to your life

• allows you to work with your psychic gifts in a safe and healthy manner.

• boosts your psychic abilities and sharpens intuition. You may find that any gifts that are waiting to develop may begin to manifest when you start working with this stone.

• grounds spiritual energy

• allows you to remember who you are at soul level and find yourself in a state of empowerment and remembrance

• allows you to see the truth behind illusions because it brings truth to the surface

• allows serendipity, coincidence and synchronicity to flow in your life.

• helps you make contact with beings from other dimensions who may assist your journey

• aligns the etheric and physical bodies

• helps to relieve pain.

Labradorite Meditations

Meditation One

• Focus on your breath, intending to breathe out negative energy and breathe in the quality to want to replace it with e.g peace, harmony etc.

• Now fully embody the quality you have chosen by setting the intention to resonate the whole of your Four Body System with this energy. You do this by placing the words I AM in front of the quality you have chosen to work with e.g. I AM peace, I AM harmony etc.

• Now place the labradorite on the brow chakra and set the intention to breathe the iridescent energy of the stone into the vortex, cleansing it first and then filling it with brightness.

• Now ask the stone to use this beautiful multi-coloured energy to stimulate your intuition and your connection to it. Ask the stone to enhance your trust on all levels, making it easier for you to act on any thoughts or visions you receive.

An addition to this meditation – place a piece of labradorite under your pillow with the intention of allowing it to help you remain open and receptive to any answers you require, especially if they are connected to your intuitive abilities. Ask for the answers to come to you in your dreams or bubble to the surface of your mind so they are available to you on a conscious level the following day.

Meditation Two

• Sit quietly and focus on your breath, holding the stone in your non-dominant hand.

• Visualise the iridescent energy of the stone flowing in through the palm chakra, up your arm to your shoulder and from there, see or sense it spreading out to fill the whole of your physical body and your etheric body. Ask specifically for these two bodies to come into alignment as the energy continues to flow.

• Now take your awareness to the stone in your hand, connect with it and ask it what you need to see right now for your highest and greatest good and allow answers to come. If they do not come immediately, carry the stone with you for the rest of the day and place it under your pillow at night with the intention that it will help you remain open and receptive to the answers you require. Ask for the answers to come to you in your dreams or bubble to the surface of your mind so they are available to you the following day.

• After sitting with the stone for as long as you feel you need to, disconnect from the energy, thank your stone for all the help you have received and will receive because this is an on-going process. Then ground and return.

~ You can place your labradorite on your brow chakra while you are working to stimulate the energy centre and all your intuitive abilities. It will help you see the issues blocking your intuition or connect with intuitive messages you are not hearing very clearly, or even ignoring.

 ~ You can ask Raphael to help you while you work. He will be more than happy to do this!

 ~ Always allow synchronicities and coincidence to speak to you throughout the day while you are working with labradorite.

Enjoy working with this powerful and transformational stone.

Bright Blessings

If you have been to any of my classes, you will probably be familiar with this meditation. It is so useful that I make people do it quite often. So I thought I would share it, so everyone can benefit from the calming energy of this lovely stone and the way it realigns the entire energy system.

1. Relax and focus on your breath
2. Take a moment to sit quietly with your kyanite – ensuring you are holding it with the striations running vertically, not horizontally, and set the intention to breathe in the beautiful blue energy. Feel it flowing into your physical body, relieving stress and calming you on a deeply profound level.
3. When you are ready, place the stone on your heart chakra and wait for the chakra to open. All charkas open automatically as soon as a piece of kyanite is placed in the vortex.
4. Now, still holding the kyanite at the heart, ask the stone to align your chakra system, sitting quietly while this happens. It will not take very long.
5. Now, ask the stone to align your Four Body System (physical+etheric bodies, emotional body, mental body, spiritual body), sitting quietly while this happens. Again, it will not take very long.
6. Now, ask the kyanite to initiate an energy flow from the heart up to the highest chakra you are currently working with. Be aware of the energy in your heart moving up the chakral line, carried by the blue energy of the kyanite.
7. Once an upward flow is established, take your awareness back to your heart and ask the kyanite to initiate an energy flow from the heart down to the lowest chakra you are currently working with. Be aware of the energy in your heart moving down the chakral line, carried by the blue energy of the kyanite
8. Now take your energy back to the heart and sit quietly in this energy flow. Stay there until you are guided to end the meditation.
9. Thank your kyanite, ground and return.
10. Brush your aura with the kyanite, with the striations running vertically, not horizontally, starting at the top of the head and touching the ground at the feet with the intention of clearing the auric sheath and earthing any excess energy. It will enhance the calm feeling you have after sitting with the stone. You can also do this without doing the meditation if you only have time for a short exercise. It will always help.

An additional thing you can do while you are at number 8 in the list above is to use your kyanite as a bridging mechanism if you are working with a particular problem.

Kyanite is a bridging stone, and it can be used to connect the past and the present. So while you are in this quiet space, if there is something you need to know about an incident in your past, or a lesson you need to learn, use the energy of the stone to help you to form a link with the situation. Then ask the stone to help you understand the experience on all levels, and how it is impacting your life in the present.

This is a hugely useful tool which can help you to clear past trauma, or at least bring it into conscious awareness, so you can work on it slowly and clear it in your own time.

Journey well with your kyanite!

Bright Blessings

“As we walk, all of our ancestors walk with us. As we dance, all of our ancestors dance the Sacred Dance. Each step that we place is an important one. All of our relatives are walking with us, speaking through us like the many colours of the rainbow. Listen, and you will hear their steps, their voices, their colours. Listen, and you will hear your spirit calling upon all our relations, and you will feel their energy…”

“May we always keep our feet on Mother Earth, our eyes and minds above the treetops, our spirit with the Great Universal Spirit.”

“And may we always walk with…a sense of humility, kindness, wonder, and respect for all living things as we follow the sacred trail of those who have come before us and those yet to come.”

Michael T. Garrett from the book: Walking on the Wind: Cherokee Teachings for Harmony and Balance

Although Samhain has come and gone, and those of us who honour and work with the ancestors thought of them and blessed them on that day… please, always remember Armistice Day.

The 11^th day of the 11^th month at 11 o’clock.

It is another opportunity to remember our honoured and beloved dead, especially those who died trying to make the world a better place for the rest of us to live in.

I always remember the first time a Tommy came to me. It was the last thing I ever expected. I had not been working with the ancestors for very long and I had no idea anyone in my lineage had died in WWI. I should have known there would be someone really. With so many deaths in that terrible war, most people have someone, somewhere, who lost their life.

So after I got over my initial surprise, I traced him to my father’s side of the family. He was my grandfather’s brother and his name was George, though his squad mates called him Georgie. So he was Georgie to me … and still is, bless him. He came one year when there were very few people left who remembered WWI, let alone fought in the conflict, and he was filled with a sadness that I could not even begin to describe. It made me weep the first time I felt it… sometimes, it still does… he was afraid that he and all the others who fell in those four years would be forgotten with so few people left who had a living memory of the fighting. So I decided I would remember him as long as I was on the earthplane.

I told Georgie this, and he was… not happy, but relieved, I think. Who wouldn’t be? No one wants to think a great sacrifice they made was in vain, and that it no longer meant anything to those of us who were left behind, living safely in the world they helped to create.

I thought that was all I had to do… how foolish was I? I assumed I would just be holding Georgie in my heart during the two minutes silence on Armistice Day. I stood and I thought of him, and I was aware that his entire battalion had joined the two of us in the room. It was astonishing, and we all stood together… remembering, honouring… and in my case… crying. The tears were just rolling down my face.

It was a profoundly moving experience to be with those men, and they still come, every year. It’s like welcoming friends back into my life every time… albeit briefly! But they still break my heart, those men … every last one of them.. whenever I think about what they did. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars… and look at us now. We are still squabbling.

If you have a few moments to spare, click on the reference below and hear Carl Sagan talk about this. His words are quite probably some of the most profound words of the 20^th century.

And in the meantime… on Saturday… remember all your beloved dead, especially those who lost their lives in a conflict, hoping to make the world a better place for all of us.

As we are heading into a hugely energetic series of portals 11/11, 12/12 and a massively important Winter Solstice, energetically speaking, I thought I would recommend the use of flint to help you remain stable. It will also keep your energy system aligned during all the changes and transformations ahead. It is an astonishing stone. It is so good because it grounds the highest possible spiritual energies on the earthplane.

If in doubt – over the next few months just keep grounding, repeatedly during the day if you have to. You really, seriously need to remain stable. This allows all the energy downloads to enter your system with ease and grace and it makes the transition process afterwards a lot more comfortable too. If you are not properly earthed, it will make the recalibration of your Four Body System difficult.

So, here is all you need to know about flint:

Flint

Chakras: All physical chakras plus the Earthstar

Physical: Healing and Well-being

Emotional: Emotional Stability

Spiritual: Grounding and Spiritual Path

Energies: Protection, Grounding, Manifestation

Elements: Earth and Fire

Stimulates: will-power, structure, self-discipline, honesty, practicality, courage, self-esteem, analytical abilities, spiritual truth, intuition, spiritual grounding, awareness, physical strength, intellectual strength, acceleration of spiritual growth

Healing Properties: It treats the kidneys, liver, lungs, skin and digestion, and helps with recovery from illnesses. It is invaluable when used to remove negative energy in any healing session. When placed anywhere on the body the energy of the stone is very powerful and it is more effective when used in multiples of two, touching the skin.

It helps with physical healing. It grounds the etheric body completely into the physical plane of reality and also aligns it with the physical body. It clears and strengthens the meridians. It also replenishes vital energy, so it is beneficial to the whole of the physical body. It facilitates the regeneration of damaged organ tissue. It also clears EMF pollution and geopathic stress.

Releasing with Flint: You can work with the stone to sever emotional ties which keep you bound to stressful or fearful situations, to your past. The flint should be used as a talisman to banish anything you want removed from your life – illness, addiction, or any negative thought forms (or energy) directed towards you by someone else.

Flint resonates particularly well with all the physical body chakras, supporting, balancing and aligning them. This brings stability to the entire system and it will then also align the subtle anatomy and ground it. When used on the base chakra the stone enhances your sense of security and this in turn allows you make a more meaningful connection to the Divine – whatever you perceive that to be – through the crown chakra.

It has the ability to bring your focus immediately back into the physical world and it is an excellent stone for anyone who has left their physical body and not returned properly afterwards. This can be caused by spiritual journeying or illness, injury or trauma. It helps anchor your energy back into the physical body.

And, when you are fully grounded and present on the earthplane after using your flint, you can continue with your spiritual journey far more easily. The stone helps you do this by enhancing your intuition and psychic abilities, bringing clarity about any information you receive. It allows you to become more consciously aware of the whole process. It heightens spiritual insight and allows you to become more aware of the higher levels of reality.

So, as you can see, it is the perfect stone to be working with at any time, but particularly now. If I were you, I’d rush out and get some immediately! You may even be lucky enough to live somewhere you can collect it naturally. If you are, remember to send thoughts of love and gratitude to the place where you get the stone. Mother Earth is always happy to provide, but being thanked is should always be part of the process.

RED JASPER

Calming, Grounding, Stabilizing

Affirmation:

I AM grounded and calm and connected securely to the flow of life and to Mother Earth – on all levels.

Angelic Association: Haniel and Sandalphon

Key Words: Security, Stability, Personal Independence, Physical Energy, Transformation, Stamina, Endurance, Confidence, Identity, Justice, Fairness

Red Jasper creates a strong connection to the Earth and this is very helpful for emotional equilibrium and spiritual grounding, especially if you wear or carry it so you can access this all the time. This will help to alleviate stress and reconnect you with the grounding energies of the Earth. It is actually an ideal stone to buy as a palm or rubbing stone. As you hold it and stroke it in your palm, it will soothe the nervous system (and your nerves) and restore balance, mainly because its energy is very nourishing, warm and protective. It also balances the emotional body.

Meditating with Red Jasper

During any meditation red jasper will share with you its calm, harmonious energy, which is perfect for grounding and centring, especially when you want to enter a meditative state to work with the stone.

General Meditation

• Hold the crystal in the palm of your non-dominant hand with the intention of allowing it to open your palm chakra. Then set the intention that, with each in breath, you want to draw the nurturing vibration of this lovely stone, up your arm to your shoulder, where it spreads out and flows into the whole of your physical body. Red jasper is known as the supreme nurturer, so just let it do that – nurture the whole of your physical body.
• After a while, intentionally direct some of the energy down to your feet to open your feet chakras and allow any negative energy which has been disrupted by the red vibrations to flow through your body and into the earth. This will then allow you to absorb even more energy from your stone to nurture yourself.
• When you have finished, disconnect from your crystal, thank it and sit for a moment, allowing earth energy to flow into your body through your feet chakras.

Base Chakra Meditation

Place the red jasper at the base chakra and set the intention that you want the energy of the stone to flow into the chakra – then just sit quietly while it works, asking it to balance the chakra first, though. When the base chakra is balanced (and red jasper does this fabulously well), your physical body will start to regain its strength and stamina. This process will be enhanced by the energy of the red jasper as well, especially if you work with it regularly. It is the supreme nurturer and the body loves its energy.

Charka Meditation

After using the red jasper on your base chakra, place it on all the other chakras, moving up from the sacral to the crown where the energy of the stone will cleanse, boost and realign the whole system, as well as the associated layers of the aura. Also while you are moving your stone upwards it will, helpfully, balance yin and yang energies as well as align the physical, emotional and mental bodies with the spiritual body.

Meditating for Insight

Working with red jasper with the intention of seeking clarity around any issue in your life will help enormously. The stone will always provide insight into the problem and help you see the best way to move forward with it, or even clear it completely. Another bonus is that it will bring into your awareness anything which may cause you trouble later on, so you can start dealing with it while it is a small problem and not be forced to do it later when it is much larger and harder to sort out.

However, its real gift is to help you avoid the trap of falling back into old thought and behaviour patterns and it will enable you to move forward in all things. But, be aware that while you sit with it, red jasper’s energy will let you know, in no uncertain terms, that whatever you do or do not do – the choice and the outcome of that choice – are ultimately your responsibility, and no one else’s. And you need to be fully aware of the fact that doing nothing is still a choice. You are fooling yourself if you think it is not.

Red Jasper and Amethyst

Red jasper works extremely well with amethyst, so if you use them together (especially with amethyst on the brow chakra and red jasper on the base chakra), the amethyst will bring insight and wisdom connected to the issue you are working with and the red jasper will give you the courage and determination to actually do something about it.

I hope you enjoy any time you spend with this comforting stone.

Letting Go Meditation

• Choose the crystal you want to work with, one which will help you let go of any emotional baggage you have been carrying, lay down and place it just above your head.

• Relax and focus on your breath with the intention of letting any tension flow out of your body on each out breath and float away.

• If you are aware of any parts of your body which are particularly tense, breathe into these areas to release the stagnant energy you have stored there.

• Now connect to your crystal and ask the stone to send its energy down towards you in the shape of a sphere.

• Now see or sense this sphere of crystalline energy moving towards your crown chakra. If you are visual, you may also perceive that the energy is the same colour as the crystal. But whatever happens – just trust that it is perfect for you at the time you do the meditation. It always is.

• As the sphere of crystalline energy floats down towards you, set the intention that you would like it to clear whatever you are ready to release at the time you do the meditation, making it specific to the qualities your crystal holds.

• See or sense it enter the crown chakra and dissolve any negative energy it finds related to your clearing request.

• Now ask the sphere to move into your central channel and go down, stopping at the level of your brow chakra where the crystalline energy will radiate out to fill both vortices and clear them. It will also flow into all the areas of the body connected to this chakra, clearing them as well.

• Repeat this, moving the sphere down the central channel, allowing it to stop at every chakra.

• When the sphere reaches your base chakra, release it and let it flow down into the to bless Mother Earth with the beautiful crystalline energy.

• Now take your awareness back to the crystal, which is still above your head, and ask it to send its energy out into your aura. See or sense the energy flowing into each of the seven layers (associated with the seven major chakras), deeply cleansing all of them.

• Now take your awareness back to the crystal again and ask it to send energy out into your Emotional and Mental bodies, cleansing them.

• Once you have cleared everything just rest in the energy your crystal is blessing you with for as long as you like, feeling its energy flowing all around you.

• When you are ready to return your awareness to your body and your environment, thank your crystal, ground very firmly and return.

You can use many crystals to help you release emotional baggage. I have listed a few below or you can simply use the stone you are drawn to when you think about doing the exercise.

Amethyst: this is a crystal of transformation. It will provide a soothing energy while you work, as well as emotional support for the release process, especially if you are working through any painful experiences. It resonates particularly well with the brow, crown and upper transpersonal chakras, so it will help you see any situation you want to examine and release a lot more clearly. But the very best way to use an amethyst is to place it on your heart and ask it to draw out any pain or heartache. It hoovers it up so you do not have to look at the pain or re-experience it in any way. It just takes it away. This is enormously useful. I would actually use two stones when working with amethyst, placing one above your head, as per the instructions, and an additional one on your heart with the intention of having it draw out all the things you have been unable to face. Then you just let it work.

Aquamarine: this lovely stone takes you into a calm place when you work with it, allowing you to feel secure while you look at any painful experiences you need to clear. It has a soothing energy and it will hold you, making you feel safe and protected from any emotional pain which surfaces while you are working. This enables you to release whatever comes up with ease and grace.

Blue Topaz:  this is also a very calming stone, but it brings something else with it when you work with it – a calm confidence which will enable you to work through your emotional baggage more easily. It also helps you to let go of old thought and behaviour patterns, which is extremely useful because they will often be the things that created the emotional baggage in the first place. Another useful thing is that this crystal blesses you with emotional strength and determination when you work with it.

Citrine: the joy of working with citrine is that it transforms any negative energy it finds into positive energy. That’s it …. it will shift absolutely anything, as long as you are ready to release it, of course. We are very good at holding on to our emotional rubbish. Sometimes we’ve been doing it for years and years, and a crystal can only help it if we want to let go of a person, place or situation. It also stimulates a positive attitude, and encourages feelings of empowerment and confidence. It resonates best with the solar plexus and you may want to consider working with two stones, placing on this chakra and placing one above your head.

Rainbow Moonstone: this lovely stone will ease the pain of any emotional experience you choose to work through it and release. It will allow you see the traumatic event very clearly, allow you stay calm while you work with it. You can also use additional stones when working, placing one at the heart and solar plexus chakras during meditation as well as placing the one above your head. This will bring emotional balance and healing on very deep levels.

Lapis Lazuli – this beautiful crystal helps you deal with and release repressed emotions, so it is perfect if you want to deal with painful experiences that you have buried deep inside yourself. It is particularly good at helping you with unexpressed grief and another benefit is that it motivates you, allowing you to persevere with the healing process and to believe in yourself.

Kyanite: this stone is about flow and it stimulates this by clearing and balancing the chakra system, as well as aligning the subtle bodies. While it is doing all this for you, it will also release any blocked emotional energy very calmly, allowing you to feel nice and peaceful after you finish working. I would advise using an additional piece of kyanite, placing it on your brow chakra to quieten your mind while you work. It will also bring clarity to your thoughts at this position.

Lepidolite: This is one of my favourite stones and it is the stone of acceptance, which means its energy is extremely helpful during any release process because there is always a great need to accept what has happened before you can release it. Because it contains lithium it is also a very relaxing stone and, when you work with it on any level, it will bring a sense of inner security and a calmness to the emotions. It soothes anger, hatred, and any other negative emotional state which arises while you are working. Also another huge benefit of the lithium content in this stone is that the mineral makes it possible for change and transformation to occur very rapidly, peacefully and equably. It is stimulates emotional balance. So if you are serious about releasing your emotional baggage this really is the stone for you!

 Additional Help

1. You can use moonstone in a layout to help with emotional balance – place one stone at the crown, one at each shoulder, and one on or beside each hip. Do this just before you go to sleep – with the intention of bringing emotional balance, of course.

2. You can also wear the stone you choose to work with or carry it in your pocket to continue the clearing process after the meditation.

3. You can place the stone in your environment to also support your clearing work. A good place is near your bed at night, but it can go anywhere where you spend a lot of time

I hope this helps you on your journey to wholeness.

Yes – just when we thought we were safe after the eclipse and we could have a nice quiet time until at least the 9/9 portal …. no.. it seems there is a 1/1 portal on 1^st September just waiting to give us yet another shunt.

ONE

It is the energy that begins all actions and leads the way to all new directions in our lives and it brings a need to open up to the new in all ways.

So why the 1^st September when the date is very clearly 1/9 when you write is with numbers….

The Year:  2+0+1+7 + 10         1+0 = 1

The Month: 1/9         1+0 = 1

So there’s it – a double 1 portal. Thank you Universe…

One is the number that all other numbers come from so it resonates and gifts us with the vibrational energy of lots of different qualities – new beginnings, creation, independence, uniqueness, motivation, striving forward and progress, ambition and will power, and positivity. It also holds the vibrations of pioneering, raw energy, force, activity, self-leadership and assertiveness, initiative, instinct and intuition.

Although that is an impressive list and is full of lots of things we would like to have… after such a long period of energetic shifts, ending with the huge shunt at the eclipse it may seem a bit much to take… straw camel’s back scenario… but it’s coming so all we can do is make the most of it and run with as much of the energy as we can on 1^st September.

Other words which resonate with 1may seem too hard to deal at the moment when most of us are just way too tired to go to these places – achievement and success, strength and self-reliance, tenacity, independence, forcefulness and authority, and love.

Probably the most useful thing for us to connect with in the energy on 1^st September is the ability to use personal resources because the energy of 1 will always make us step out of our comfort zone, and being able to use all our gifts and talents while we do this will be enormously helpful. So make sure you have a very clear intention on 1^st to do this – on all levels.

The most crucial thing for us to understand while we are in the energy of this portal is that it holds the possibility of new beginnings… doubled.

It has been described as a portal of new energetic expression. So you need to think about what you would like as a new beginning and how that would be expressed on all levels in your life – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This new beginnings energy will also make it very clear that you create your life and your reality with your thoughts, beliefs and actions, so to get a new beginning you will obviously need new thoughts, beliefs and actions. Time to accept this and allow change to come into your life so you can create newness rather than the same energy you have been generating… quite probably for years and years.

1:1 also has the handy ability to re-set past patterns. It does this by first showing us that the old way of life cannot be sustained on any level any more.

We all know this. The trouble is in some areas of our life we seem quite determined to hold on to things which hurt us or restrict us in some way. Time to let it all go and it will be easier if you set intentions and do some real work on 1^st September. Look at your thought and behaviour patterns and really, really see which ones no longer help you or which ones restrict your ability to connect with your Authentic Self.

From a spiritual perspective, 1 is the number of creation (because all numbers come from it), so given that this is a 1:1 portal this is doubled, giving us loads of energy to create what we really want and not re-create what we’ve been stuck with sometimes for lifetimes. So please take a few moments to think about what you have and what you want and what you can use as a bridging mechanism to get there.

Crystals are always a useful tool, though you can use anything you like. But here are a few suggestions to get you started and then run with whatever feels right to you:

Moonstone is the crystal which is recommended the most for new beginnings. This is because it helps you to re-structure your life at all levels. Always handy!

Mookite represents new beginnings, new journeys and new creations which resonates perfectly with the energy of 1.

Howlite (and most other white stones) will help clear your mind. This makes the space you need for new thoughts and idea and these stones also clear away obstacles in your life.

Amazonite is really good for creating a fresh start. It helps you make positive life changes. It increases your faith in yourself and your own choices.

Tiger’s Eye boosts your self-confidence and helps you connect more fully to your personal power, so this stone will enable you to do the thing your fear the most – step straight out of your comfort zone!

Labradorite – is known as the stone of transition, so it will always help you get from where you are to where you want to be… as long as you actually do the work which enables you to get there, of course. It always supports personal transformation

Take this opportunity to resonate with the energy of creation and new beginnings and make the most of the 1:1 Portal
