I know a great many of you are actually already aware of the fact that you aren’t really:

What you eat

OR

What you think

You are, in fact, what you vibrate

Not grammatically correct, I know, but there you go. It’s the easiest way to phrase it so it makes sense!

At the end of the day, whatever emotional state you hold within your Four Body System (physical and etheric bodies, emotional body, mental body and spiritual body) means a frequency is generated inside you which will perfectly match the aforementioned emotional state – that is to say, for example – if you have an angry thought and you keep thinking it, you will eventually create a standing wave form which is vibrating at exactly the same rate as the emotion we call anger.

And it will grow and grow until it becomes overwhelming if you continue to have more angry thoughts and feelings, and you allow them to remain in your system. Then this vibration which you have carefully generated and encouraged to grow in many, many ways will then flow out into the world around you… and, of course, then the very same frequency flows straight back to you.

So if you think angry or fearful thoughts and speak angry or fearful words – how can you possibly expect any other energy to return to you at lightening speed? Like attracts like … and it really is that simple.

And if it is that simple – what questions do you need to be asking yourself at the moment, considering all the negative emotional states being generated by people all over the world for so many different reasons… it’s bad enough being overwhelmed by your own rubbish without being bombarded by everyone else’s as well.

So …

• What is my frequency – low frequency fear, hate or anger? Or high frequency love, peace and harmony?
• Is the frequency I have identified within me really what I want to fill every part of my Four Body System?
• If not, why is it there and what can I do to change it?
• Is it someone else’s frequency that I have foolishly accepted as my own?
• Am I buying into someone else’s fear or anger or other negative emotional state?
• If I am, why on earth am I doing it?
• Is 42 really the answer to life, the universe and everything … sorry just couldn’t resist that one!

There is a very simple technique you can use to change your frequency… and it doesn’t take very long either, which makes it incredibly appealing, at least to me.

However, I have to say, the more you do it, the easier it will become to initiate change and the longer the feeling of relief from negative emotional states will last.

It’s like everything really – you have to want to change and you have to put in a little effort to ensure the change remains in your system.

Doing it once and going straight back to your old behaviour is just not going to work… ever.

You have to set an intention and stick with it.

You have to be the thought police and notice when you are slipping back into old habits and speaking or thinking negatively. No one else can do it for you… and if you won’t do, you have to ask yourself why and find the bit of you which is afraid to change and help it to change.

So – what do you do … read on and let me explain about I AM statements…

I AM PEACE

I AM CALM

AND, OF COURSE, MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE…

I AM FABULOUS!!!!!

Look at those three statements and decide which vibration you need to embody right now. Or feel free to make one up of your own. After, all it is your vibrational rate which needs to be changed… and changed to a vibration you actually like.

Using a word which describes a quality after the I AM statement means you embody the energy of the quality and everything connected with it – on all levels.

If you want to find peace it’s no good repeating I want peace or I want to be peaceful – that tells the universe you lack it  – and all you get is … well, absolutely no peace at all really. You have to fully embody it. You have to generate the vibration of the quality you desire inside you, not desperately look for it outside you. That will never work.

So you use the words I AM to embody whatever it is you want and then you add the word which expresses the quality you want in your life…

I AM peace – I AM Love – I AM Balance

I AM … whatever quality you can think of which will make you happy!

Practise this –

Sit quietly and say I AM fear and see how your physical body and your energy field responds. It won’t be pleasant.

Now blow into your body and your energy field with the intention of clearing the vibration of this statement from every part of you.

Now say I AM … and chose a positive quality. Really allow yourself to experience the difference. It is astonishing.

Now – we add intent – which will make the practise more powerful. If you set an intention while repeating the I AM statements it means you can direct the energy of the sound and bring about the result you want:

SOUND + INTENT = HEALING (OR RESULT)

(Thank you the very lovely Jonathan Goldman!)

The thought you have before you make your sound determines what it does.. and that’s every time you speak.

Think about that one for a moment!! If you are angry and want to hurt people, really… that’s exactly what you do on an energetic level.

So, choose your I AM statement and speak it out loud with the intention of resonating and filling a specific target area with the energy of the quality you feel you lack:

• a chakra
• your physical body
• the whole of your Four Body System (always the most effective choice if you are serious about changing your vibrational rate)
• Keep repeating the statement until you feel your target area resonating with the words and the quality you have chosen to embody and let the vibration of your words then spread out and fill every part of you.

And if you feel you need a completely different quality – just change the word after the I AM statement. That’s all you have to do …really … seriously… so, why are you still reading this? Go and do it!

Bright Blessings

I was going to do a blog on the crystal moonstone – and still may do one if I feel the urge before next Monday – but while I was looking up some information something else came to me.

With all the shifts and changes of energy and the huge cleansing process we have all been taking part in … willingly and sometimes rather unwillingly at this point…. I thought it might be good to use the energy of the 11 11 gateway to re-balance our masculine and feminine energies, and at the same time the right and left sides of our bodies.

It is also important to do this now because on 14^th November we have the biggest Supermoon for about seventy years, so by the weekend we will all be feeling that energy… and those of us who are sensitive will probably be feeling it already. There won’t be another one this size until about 2034!

11 11 already holds the energy we need to do this, because one of the things it represents is the energy of the balanced Divine Masculine and Feminine, so why not use crystals to enhance this process and do it with intent, so it makes the whole thing easier and more effective? Seems the smart thing to do to me!

Note before you start: If you are right handed (this is your dominant hand), the right side of your body holds your masculine energy, and the left hand side holds the feminine energy. This also makes your left hand your non-dominant hand. If you are left-handed, it is reversed.

You can use many stones, but the two I was drawn to recommend are:

Sunstone and Moonstone

These two stones are the obvious choices because they hold the energy of the sun and the moon, masculine and feminine, fire and water.

So, holding the sunstone in your dominant hand and the moonstone in your left hand, sit quietly and ask the stones to balance your masculine and feminine energy.

Then focus on the sunstone and set the intention that with each in breath you are drawing the energy of the stone in through your palm chakra, so it can flow up your arm and into the masculine side of your body.

When you feel this side of your body is full to bursting with the vibrant and energizing sunstone energy, turn your attention to the moonstone and repeat the process, filling up the other side of your body. Moonstone is a more gentle and soothing stone -the exact opposite of sunstone because it holds the energy which balances its excitable vibration!

Then just allow the two types of crystalline energy to bring the two sides of your body into balance and to balance your masculine and feminine energy.

You will know when it is finished. Then you disconnect from your two stones, thank them and return your awareness to the room. You will also need to earth any excess energy in your system and ground yourself.

Moonstone and Obsidian

Use the obsidian in your dominant hand and the moonstone in your non-dominant hand and repeat the above procedure.

Also while you have these two stones, you can use them both at your base chakra and set the intention to breathe the energy in to the base chakra to re-balance it.

And there is an affirmation you can repeat while you are breathing in the energy. Set the added intention that you want to use the sound of the words to resonate the base chakra and keep repeating them until you feel the chakra vibrating with the energy of the statement:

I ride the ebb and flow of life smoothly and easily.

Hope this helps at this volatile time. The 11 11 gateway may open on 11^th November, but remember it is open until 11^th January 2017. It is a doorway allowing you to access your highest potential and I think it would probably be better to access all the unexplored parts of you with a stable energetic foundation… hence the re-balancing.

And remember this gateway also gives you the stunning opportunity to release any limitation you may have placed on yourself … knowingly or unknowingly. The energy is available to anyone who sets the intention to tune into it and use it.

But always ask for your download to be at the most appropriate frequency for you at the time of the download and for a helper or guide to stabilize your vibrational rate at the correct frequency for you at the end of it, and to re-calibrate the energy of your Four Body System so everything runs smoothly afterwards. It’s no good allowing new and exciting high frequency energy into your system and having it fry all your circuits! You have to be sensible about this…

Have fun!

As we move swiftly towards one of the most powerful annual energetic gateways of the year – 11:11 on – what a surprise – 11^th December, I thought I’d write about a lovely high vibrational stone which will help you prepare for this and carry you through the gateway with ease and grace. How you use it is, as always, your choice. Just read the information and let yourself be drawn to the aspects of the stones energy that will benefit you the most. You will always know. But, however and whenever you work with it, it will always raise your vibrational rate.

So, let me introduce you to Apophyllite. I think you’ll like it a lot – if you don’t already!

Apophyllite:

• Cleanses all the chakras and aligns them
• Stimulates the brow, crown and soul star chakras
• Intensifies your inner vision
• Stimulates the pineal gland
• Releases negative energy
• Corrects any energetic imbalances.
• Infuses your auric field with high vibrational light
• Relieves stress, tension and anxiety.
• Contains the key to accessing your Akashic Records.
• Helps to release mental blocks and negative thought patterns.
• Helps to release suppressed emotions.
• Can be used to stimulate intuition and introspection.
• Helps you connect with your helpers and guides more easily
• Can be used to see the truth within any situation

Keywords:  Spiritual Connection, Meditation, Power, Healing, Love, Protection

Using Apophyllite to Raise your Vibration

The best way to do this is when you meditate. Sit with Apophyllite and, first, allow it to calm your mind. It is incredibly good at doing this. It has a very tranquil energy – bask in it! You’ll love it! It has a unique vibrational frequency. Just let its energy flow into you and gradually change you each time you use it.

After a while you can add intent and direct the stone’s energy to your:

• Brow chakra – it will clear this energy centre and raise its vibrational rate. It will balance the chakra and clear all the inner pathways which give you an expanded sense of conscious awareness on all levels, especially heightened spiritual awareness. It also reveals hidden inner knowledge when used on this chakra.
• Crown chakra – as above. It will also make this chakra more receptive to spiritual energies. It allows you to perceive one-ness of all things – seen and unseen.
• Soul star chakra – at this level it will help you connect more easily to the angelic and higher realms.

Green Apophyllite – resonates with the heart chakra and is a beautiful energy to use to expand this energy centre. My recommendation – go and get some immediately! It will help you connect to Divine Unconditional Love in many new ways. Also, if used with conscious intent in the heartspace when you are working with a problem, it will connect you the heart of the matter, which is always useful and it will enable you to clear the blockage more easily. It can clear the heart of past emotional negativity, making you feel whole again. It opens your heart to joy and love and it will enhance your ability to receive all the good things in life.

Meditating with Apophyllite

If you use Apophyllite regularly in meditation, you will develop the ability to see your life and all the things in it with far more clarity. It will enable you to look at all your thought and behaviour patterns and recognize the ones which are blocking your growth process. And, helpfully, as it also cleanses at a very deep level, working with it over a period of time will help you clear them. It will also help you to discover and embrace your Authentic Self.

Working with Clear Apophyllite During Energetic Gateways

After you have used the stone to cleanse your energy system, it will then expand your auric field and fill it with high frequency light which is particularly useful at times like this. It will open the whole of your Four Body System, allowing you to become a conduit for all the incoming energy. It also creates a conscious connection between the physical and the spiritual realms which will help you understand what is happening and how you can use the incoming energy for your highest and greatest good.

If you use Green Apophyllite, it will allow you to be a conduit for Earth energy.

And, as a side note, it will do the same if you are a healer and you channel energy to help others. Apophylillite will use the same opening process to allow you to channel the healing energy of your choice more efficiently and effectively. Some Reiki practitioners call it the Reiki Stone because of this. I say, even when I am a Reiki practitioner, – why limit it to Reiki when we can channel so many other frequencies?

It will also help open a client so the healing energy enters their system far more easily. And if placed in your healing space it will clear the whole environment. What a blessing this stone is – in so many splendid ways.

Cleansing a Room with Apophyllite

A single natural pyramid of apophyllite is more than enough to energetically clear a room, but if you want to, you can use build a grid. If you do this, it will improve the environment immeasurably, making it calmer and more peaceful. Place the stones in a space where they will not be disturbed or moved around – one stone for each cardinal direction and put one more in the centre. It purify the entire room

Physical Benefits of Apophyllite

• It helps to neutralize allergic reactions. Just sit with the stone and let its energy flow into you. Yes, it’s really that simple! Just use it whenever you need it. If one of your symptoms is difficulty breathing, use green apophyllite and place on the heart chakra.
• Apophyllite pyramids can be used to rejuvenate tired eyes and to help with any problems related to vision. Lie down and place a small pyramid on the brow chakra with the intention of letting the energy of the stone flow into the chakra and down into both eyes. You can also place a pyramid on each closed eye lid, if this feels more appropriate.

Obviously is does do more than this, but I like these two things….

Angelic Connections

Taharial is the angel associated with apophyllite. He is the Angel of Purification, so he basically does exactly the same thing as the stone, cleansing you and your environment … just in his own lovely angelic way! He is  standing by to help anyone who wants to work with this stone and he will show you many ways to work with its unique vibration. All you have to do, as always, it ask.

Apophyllite and Sound

One of the most beautiful things about apophyllite is that when used with conscious intent it can connect you to Divine sound, which is quiet exquisitely beautiful. I know – I hear it often when I channel angelic sound.

If you sit with the stone and use the affirmation: I AM one with the angels – you too may be lucky enough to  hear angels singing and other forms of angelic sound. Go for it! It is amazing!

It will also attune you to the vibration of OM

But the best thing of all – Apophyllite is the Stone of Truth and it will help you recognise of your Authentic Self and allow you to show this part of yourself to the world – without fear. What more could you ask from a stone?

Enjoy working with apophyllite

Where are you going?

How will you get there?

Are you in uncharted territory?

Why do you need to feel you are in control?

Do you ever wonder what is stopping you from having an adventure?

I saw variations of these questions all over the place and thought … well, that just about sums the energy we are in at the moment, doesn’t it?

We have no idea where we are going or how we will get there. We always seem to be in uncharted territory, so, in the end, it usually comes down to whether or not this scares us. If it does, it always means we will then try and maintain control … which, of course, is completely daft. How can we have any control over the chaos we are currently experiencing – on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual?

We are sitting in the eye of the storm most days, even on good days, and no one can never even hope to control that. And, yet, some of us still try….

So, perhaps now it is time to finally get serious about clearing all the emotional baggage we stupidly insist on carrying around – sometimes from lifetimes ago, and it always seems to show up in a depressingly familiar and repeating pattern. If we can learn to recognise the patterns and release them, we can at least no longer feel a ridiculous need to control every aspect of our lives. We need to learn to go with the flow… and have that adventure! Seriously, who wouldn’t want an adventure? All it really comes down to is – how much do you want one? If the answer is no, you should immediately start asking yourself why! Adventures are fun!

But to do all this and feel secure rather than scared as we embark on something new and exciting, we have to be fully present in our bodies all the time and our bodies have to be firmly anchored to the Earth. And we need to be deeply, deeply connected to our Mother.

I mean if we aren’t connected to the planet and the nurturing energy which flows from it every moment of every day, we are really just orphans and that Is a terrible thing to be when our Mother is still there, more or less waiting for us to notice her! And, when we are lucky enough to have a Mother who is the size of a planet, how scary can an adventure be if she has got our backs?

So, below is a meditation to do while you are considering all these questions and how they affect every part of your lives. Or you can just do the exercise. Either works quite nicely!  It is a lovely way to ground and the exercise can be adapted in many different ways as well to make it more appropriate for what you want to achieve while you are doing it.

As I always tell my students, the only thing which ever limits when you are working with an exercise   is what you think you can or cannot do with it…

Grounding Meditation

• Relax and focus on your breath
• Set the clear intention that you want to ground firmly in the earth and re-connect on a new and deeper level  with Mother Earth.
• Now take your awareness to your base chakra and see or sense the red energy it holds in your chakra system.
• Now intend to send this red energy down into the earth and direct a strand or beam of this red energy to go down one leg and flow out through your foot into the earth. Then repeat with the other leg.
• Now take your awareness to your sacral chakra and see or sense the orange energy it holds in your chakra system.
• Now intend to send this orange energy down into the earth and direct a strand or beam of this orange energy to go down into the base chakra, going through it into one leg, and flow out through your foot and into the earth, as before. The repeat with the other leg.
• Now take your awareness to your solar plexus chakra and see or sense the yellow energy it holds in your chakra system.
• Now intend to send this yellow energy down into the earth and direct a strand or beam of this yellow energy to go down into the sacral chakra, into base chakra, and, finally flow down one leg, and flow out through your foot and into the earth, as before. The repeat with the other leg.

Notes:

• This procedure grounds the energy of all the chakras related to the physical body into the earth, leaving you feeling very firmly grounded and secure.
• It also means your body feels fully supported by earth energy which will filter in to it through the physical body chakras more smoothly and easily.
• You can leave all these strands in the earth for as long as you like. All you have to do is decide what you want and set the best intention to achieve this.

As I said earlier, you can adapt this exercise in many ways.

One useful way is to connect to the healing energy of your choice and channel it into each chakra before you run the energy of the chakra into the earth.

You can use Reiki symbols in each chakra to cleanse it before running the energy down.

You can visualise the colour for each chakra as you work with it, or use the vowel sounds associated with them.

You can clear the knee chakras and the feet chakras before you do the exercise to ensure the energy is not blocked somewhere else in your system, preventing you from connecting to Mother.

You can also use it as a diagnostic technique – the shade of red, orange and yellow you find in these three chakras will tell you a lot about whether they are blocked or not and how much work you need to do to clear them. It is information you can always use if you want to keep them spinning at the correct rate.

You can also add to it and, when all three energy strands are flowing down into the earth, allow Mother’s energy up into your chakras. See or sense her beautiful golden energy flowing up chakra by chakra, tinting the red, orange and yellow with gold. If nothing else, if you are visual it looks quite exquisite!

Just go with whatever feels right for you. You are, after all, the person who is connected to your energy system and you will know what is needed to clear it, balance it, expand it, re-calibrate it to a higher frequency or just bring it back into alignment. And, probably the only problem you will have is trusting that you know all this! Do yourself a favour – run with the fact you really are that good rather than resist it!

So, find a few minutes and a nice quiet place and consider all the questions at the top of the article. The answers might just surprise you and they will certainly help you progress during this bizarre time, or  at least show you why you are stuck and not making any progress at all.

What you then do about it is always your choice. This is your journey and you should continue it in your own way and at your own speed, not someone else’s. You do not have to adopt someone else’s reality as your own. And if you find you have, please start asking yourself why and decide what you need to do about it.

And, last, but definitely not least, you really should be considering all the many different ways you can have that adventure…

Have fun!

Quan Yin holds the most exquisite energy – compassion, unconditional love, mercy and forgiveness.

These are very often qualities we cannot extend to ourselves if we are in pain, so she is the perfect choice as a helper and guide when we want to clear old emotional rubbish from our system. She can bless us with any one of them – or all of them -until we are in a space where we can start to generate the feelings for ourselves, or others.

So, the only thing you have to ask yourself right now is – do I want to clear anything?  And what would be the best thing for me to clear at this time to ensure I am able to move forward on your journey?

The first step in any healing process is to acknowledge the pattern that is blocking your progress. So, sit quietly and set the intention that you want to be made aware of the most appropriate situation to clear. Just allow it come to the surface of your mind so it can be released. If several things come up, choose the one which feels as if it needs dealing with first. You can always repeat the exercise if you feel there is something else which needs to be released as well.

Just please don’t try and do more than one thing at a time. It’s never a good idea and it very rarely works. And always ensure you are securely grounded before you start.

Now you know what you need to release, ask Quan Yin to join you. Thank her for coming and take a moment to attune to her beautiful energy, letting it flow from her heart to your heart… and let it gently fill your heart.

If you are visual, you may be lucky enough to actually see the stream of energy joining her heart to yours. I never have because I feel energy, but I have always imagined it must be so nice to see it.  And if you don’t see either, it doesn’t matter. You will most certainly be aware of it on some level, and you will also be aware of your heartspace expanding to accommodate this wonderful flow of Divine Unconditional Love. Do yourself a favour – let it fill your entire heart.

Now silently affirm: I AM fully present in my heart space.

Now let the gentle and loving vibration from Quan Yin flow out of your heart and fill the whole of your physical body. Allow yourself to be blessed by it and, using your intention, as you exhale, let it flow out of your heart, going back to all the younger versions of you who were trapped in the situation you are going to clear from your system – for whatever reason. Don’t judge – just let the energy flow.

Now, with Quan Yin’s energy still flowing into your heart, ask for it to clear any negativity attached to the situation you have chosen to work with on all levels – past, present and future and on all planes and in all dimensions. This will ensure that if this is a pattern which has been repeating over many lifetimes it is released from all of them. Quian Yin’s energy can flow anywhere, so be smart – use it to release all the energy from all the lifetimes you have been wounded by this kind of situation.

All you need to do is have a very clear intention of what you want to achieve while you are working with Quan Yin and set the intention that you would like her energy to keep flowing into your heart and out into your body to clear all the negative energy attached to this situation.

Ask for Quan Yin’s energy to clear all aspects of the blockage you want to remove – known and unknown, seen and unseen, named and un-named – and let all the loving vibrations she sends to you flow into your central channel. Then when your central channel is full, let the energy flow out into the whole of your Four Body System, going through your physical and etheric bodies into your emotional body, your mental body and, finally, your spiritual body.

The only thing you have to do is sit quietly in this energy and relax in your heart space while Quan Yin’s beautiful energy dissolves anything which no longer serves your highest and greatest good. And with the intention already set for clearing the past, present and future, it will go where ever it is needed to ensure all traces of this blockage are removed in whatever form they have been manifesting – it’s not always the same.

Now – and only if you are able – send the energy of forgiveness to yourself and to anyone else who is (or was) connected with the situation you are working with. If not, ask Quan Yin to fill your heart with the energy of forgiveness until you are able to do it yourself. Let the energy of this deeply healing quality fill your heart and flow out to fill your physical body as well, blessing you on all levels.

You can also ask Quan Yin to bless anyone else who needs this quality on your behalf… as long as it is for their highest and greatest good. You ask her to bless NOT heal another person because they have to choose to heal. You can’t do it for them, or assume they want to do it at the same time as you. They may not be ready. But you can still bless them… any blessing always helps, but doesn’t interfere with the person’s free will.

So, sit in the energy of Quan Yin’s blessing and allow it to flow in, through and around you – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is exquisite.

After you have cleared your Four Body System, go back to your heartspace and start to generate a feeling of gratitude in your heart. Think all of the things you have to be grateful for – there is always something, even if you have to look for it – and let these thoughts fill your heart space until there is nothing in your heart but gratitude. And don’t forget to be grateful for all the help from Quan Yin!

When you feel the release process has finished, disconnect from Quan Yin and thank her again for her help. Then sit quietly while your energy system re-calibrates and stabilises at a new higher vibratory rate.

All that is left after that is to ground firmly again and bring your awareness fully back into your physical body.

Just please be aware that you can always re-generate negative energy about the person, the place or the situation you have cleared from your system by continually thinking about it in the old and familiar and usually negative ways. Watch what happens around it and find a new way to approach it if it comes up. Or keep clearing in case it is a new and deeper level of the same thing appearing to be released. You did ask to be aware of it, after all.

Whatever happens, Quan Yin is always there to help you and bless you with her beautiful energy.  You just have to ask…

So, the earthstar chakra – what is it and why write about it now? Well, it is the first of the sub-personal chakras and it gives you greater stability on the earthplane when it is properly activated and functioning at optimum, which we need this month because the energy is so chaotic. It enhances the grounding mechanism you already have through the base chakra and the feet chakras and it will keep you very grounded and secure. It allows the whole of your energy system to be embedded in the earth … quite literally. It is, as far as I am concerned, one of the most useful chakras you have because, during these times of ascension when your frequency is going up and up, you seriously need to go down as well. In fact there is no way you can keep going up without it. The more stable your energy system is and the more securely it is anchored in the earth, the higher you can go.

The earthstar works so well because it is six inches below your feet, so it is already in the ground. This means that when you activate it, it automatically anchors your energy there, and you feel incredibly stable. It is a wonderful feeling. It is also known as the Super Root and is connected to the rest of your chakra system through your feet chakras.

So, what else do you need to know about this energy centre? It holds past life, karmic and ancestral energy vital to your current lifetime, most of which will need to be cleared at some point after you have activated the chakra. It is your connection to the earthplane and your life path. It is such a useful chakra to start working with. It will allow you to clear enormous amounts of negative and stagnant energy from your system. I’d really be start working with it right now!

The negative quality of this chakra is powerlessness and the positive quality is empowerment. And, if it is unbalanced or blocked, it will lead to discomfort in your physical body, feelings of helplessness, and it will sometimes manifest an inability to function practically in the world. So, as you can see, at this time it is almost vital that this chakra is up and running effectively in your energy system.

You will find a great many crystals are recommended when you are working with the earthstar. Any grounding crystal will work really well, but from personal experience and years of teaching about the extended chakra system, I have found aqua aura quartz is simply one of the very best crystals. This is because the earth contains so much water. But, at the end of the day, this is your journey so always see which crystal you are drawn to and which one works best with your chakra system and your subtle anatomy. Two other stones I would recommend are black obsidian and petrified wood.

Another blessing which comes from an activated earthstar is that it allows you to release any the negative energy you pick up from your environment or from being with others who are vibrating at a lower rate than you… and more easily too. This is a HUGE benefit. All you have to do is set the intention that you want these unsuitable vibrations to drain away, going through the eathstar into the ground. This works extremely well because when this chakra has been activated your whole energy system automatically becomes aligned with the magnetic core of the earth.

The other advantage is that when the earthstar is functioning properly and fully integrated into the rest of your energy system, it serves to anchor the whole chakra system, it connects the etheric body to the physical world and this in turn creates a feeling of security which allows your soul to fully express itself on the earthplane. Also if it is well-balanced it means you can feel deeply connected to the Earth and Mother, and to your inherent gifts and talents, enabling you to express and use them more effectively.

So, what are you waiting for? If your transpersonal system is already open … make time to clear the earthstar and ensure it’s working at optimum, If it isn’t, the best place (well, really the ONLY place) to start is with the earthstar. You have to be stable before you can start exploring the upper transpersonal chakras. Opening them before you have stabilised your system by working with the earthstar is seriously not a sensible thing to do at all.

To Activate:

The easiest way – ask Archangel Sandalphon to do it. He is in charge of the chakra and he will be happy to do this for you. But you must remember to ask him to activate it at the most appropriate vibrational level for you at this time, and ask for the whole of your energy system to be stabilised at the most appropriate frequency for you at this time after he has done it. It is always worth having a helper or guide do something like this because then you do not have to worry whether or not you have done it correctly. They will never make a mistake!

All you have to do is sit quietly and ask Sandalphon to help you connect with the earthstar chakra. This way you can be fully and consciously aware of the whole activation process. Then just ask him to activate, cleanse, and balance it. Then using your intention, draw up earth energy into the chakra with each in breath, so it is securely connected to the earth and Mother’s beautiful golden energy and let this golden earth energy fill the chakra until it is glowing.

As you open your connection to Mother through your earthstar, it will give you greater access to her nurturing vibrations and you will find your whole energy system (and your physical body) is empowered and strengthened. This will, in turn, give you a much firmer foundation for you to continue your spiritual growth process. It gives you something to build on which is completely and utterly solid.

Lastly, two other crystals to use with the earthstar are:

Magnetite – get two small pieces, hold one in each hand between the thumb and the index finger and see just how incredibly fast this stone plugs the whole of your energy system back into the magnetic grid of the earth. It’s astonishing, effective and I promise you will feel SO much better afterwards! It will work even more effectively if you activate the acupuncture points in the fingers and thumbs with the tops of the miniature octahedrons.

Labradorite – place a piece between your feet with the intention of using the energy to fill your earthstar chakra. Although this is not usually considered a grounding stone, you will find it works extremely well… as long as you hold a clear intention that you want its energy to flow down into the earthstar and stabilise your entire energy system from this point. You can also ask the vibration of the crystal to fill your feet chakras as well, if you want to. Keeping these grounding points open at all times is vitally important at the moment.

There are also crystals which will help you clear specific patterns of negative energy, commonly stored in the earthstar, which are connected to either past lives, karmic debts or ancestral patterning. Working with these stones while you are working with the earthstar will help to clear the energy from this chakra and, if used with the proper intention, it will also clear it from any other places in your system where it may be stored as well.

To help you release any attachments to people, places and situations – petrified wood, petalite and jet.

To encourage acceptance of these same people, places and situations – petrified wood, petalite and clear quartz.

To help you transform – obsidian, jet (use also on the base, sacral and solar plexus to enhance the clearing process – it is wonderfully effective!), petalite and amber.

To help with forgiveness – there are crystals, but really, I’d recommend going straight to the very lovely Angels of Forgiveness – these guys really know how to help with this problem!

Well, I think that’s more than enough on the earthstar…

Have fun being more connected to Mother. It is always a blessing…

Well, I was going to post a meditation on how to balance the five elements in your body. I typed it up and everything… and then, try as I might, I just couldn’t do the whole cut and paste thing to the blog site! It was really, really weird. It was a lovely meditation, with lots of useful hints on how to work with elemental energy and I really liked it. I am sure you would have done as well, but none of it wanted to go on the blog. So, what to do …?

The only thing which came to mind – over and over again I have to say – was a Sufi breathing practise to purify your energy system and balance the five elemental energies held within it, which I have been teaching for many years. I tried to push the thought out of my mind, but it wasn’t going anywhere… except out of my fingers to the keyboard as I typed it all up!

So, here, for better or worse, is the practise, and I hope you find it useful. You just have to be a bit careful with the aether breath. It looks easy and simple, but, trust me when I say it is enormously powerful. If it overpowers you – please just stop and tune in to one of the other elements to see what you need to stabilise your system. Earth is usually the best one to use…

The five elements are everywhere – they are the basic building blocks of life, on an esoteric level, of course. I am sure most scientists would dispute the fact that we are all made up of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Aether, which is the vibrational force which holds everything together.

You can connect with any elemental energy using your intent, and the images or thoughts you use to do this, give you a basic idea of the type of vibrational force each element represents. E.g. earth is stability, strength, foundations, the physical body, especially the bones. You get the idea.

I could write for hours and hours about elemental energy. It’s fabulous and using it is a wonderful way to balance the whole of your Four Body System, but there is enough information out there for you to check it out yourself if you want to. There’s just no point me repeating it unless I have something new and exciting to say …

What I’d like to do is give you the details of the Five Element Breath so you can have a go yourself if you are not already familiar with it. It will help enormously since we are experiencing an unprecedented influx of light at this time and it is bound to … well, discombobulate you, to be honest. So here it is…

Five Element Breath

Focus on your breath. Breathe in deeply and relax into the exhale, extending it as much as you can. When you out breath is longer than your in breath, it is a physiological trigger that your body simply can’t ignore. It actually makes the body to relax. Do this for a few minutes until you feel your body start to do this.
Now set the clear intention that as you repeat each breath pattern for each element, you wish to attune to that particular elemental energy and experience it on all levels.
You also want to ask that while you are fully focused on each elemental energy, you would like it to cleanse your system and come into balance within the whole of your Four Body System – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
You do FIVE breaths for each element. FIVE only please….

This is a very powerful practise, even though it is only five breaths per element, and it is recommended that you only do it ONCE a week….

Earth: Inhale and exhale through the nose
Water: Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth
Fire: Inhale through the mouth and exhale through the nose.
Air: Inhale and exhale through the mouth
Aether: Very short and gentle breaths, inhaling and exhaling through the nose.

The qualities of the aether breath are peace and unity and it brings stillness. Just allow this to happen while you breathe in and out and connect with this element.

And, as an added bonus, when you are used to working with the aether breath – after you have completed your five breaths, you can sit in the energy you have created and use it to travel into space and become aware of the galaxy in a whole, new magnificent way … but please don’t do this straight away. You really need to practise for a while and get used to it on other levels first.

I hope this great exercise helps re-balance you and your energy system during the chaotic energies which are around this month.

Bright Blessings

In astrology, Leo is ruled by the sun.

However, the part of the body ruled by Leo is the chest/heart.

Thoughts from Gail:

My take on that-  during this excessively energetic time: self-treat and clear the heart and the solar plexus together, at every available opportunity, using whatever energy you are drawn to.

Then, draw a vertical infinity symbol, looping round both chakras with the intention of joining them so they function together for as long as is appropriate for you at this time.

Crystal Helper

Rhodocrosite

Rhodocrosite is pink, but also has some yellow in it which is why it resonates with both these chakras.

It allows you to develop a heart which is capable of taking action to express love on all levels – for yourself and others – and it helps you pursue your dreams. It is one of the best emotional healing stones there is, but to ensure all negativity is cleared, it must be used on both the heart and the solar plexus chakras. It stimulates the heart chakra, healing it and activates the solar plexus chakra after clearing it.

Use on solar plexus first to bring calmness. It will also release any tension in this area of your body, allowing you to breathe more easily, which will enhance any healing process.

Then cleanse the crystal so you don’t put the rubbish you have removed from the solar plexus into your heart!

Lastly, place the crystal on your heart and let it work.

Angelic Help

Solar Plexus – Uriel, who has a purple and gold angelic ray

Heart Chakra – Chamuel, who has a pink angelic ray

Just ask these two lovely angels to help you with these two energy centres.

Have fun!

As promised ages ago – a blog on how to use turquoise….

As you will see from the information shown below – Turquoise is a magnificent stone to use for just about everything, so I won’t bore you with even more stuff to read. So you can get straight down to learning how this lovely stone can help you manifest wholeness on all levels in your life.

Turquoise – The Stone of Truth

♥ Purification ♥ Serenity ♥ Protection ♥ Wisdom ♥ Balance ♥ Strength ♥ Friendship ♥ Love ♥♥ Positive thinking ♥ Sensitivity ♥ Healing ♥ Loyalty ♥ Honest Communication ♥ Protection ♥ Luck  ♥

Turquoise is a stone for self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-expression and the release of useless regrets. It encourages you to honour yourself as a creation and a tool of the Divine.

Key Word: Wholeness

Primary Chakra– Thymus

Secondary:Heart, Throat and Brow

Planet – Venus and Neptune

Primary Element –Aether

Secondary Elements – Earth/Air/Fire

Primary Angels: Sandalphon and Haniel

Secondary Angels: Michael and Raguel

Healing

This powerful healing stone is a Master Healer stone and strengthens the mind and the body. It has an uplifting quality as well as a calming quality to it.

Using Copper with Turquoise increases the power of the stone.

Turquoise in unbelievably beneficial for the physical body. It is a strengthening stone, helping to bring healing almost every system in the body. It neutralizes over acidity, increases growth and muscle strength and it contains anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.

It also alleviates rheumatism, gout, stomach problems, viral infections, and pain. The anti-inflammatory properties help with muscle tissue regeneration, circulation, lungs, respiratory system, heals stomach and viral infections. It helps anorexia, headaches, lung infections (including asthma), teeth problems, hearing issues and depression. It helps with detoxing from alcohol, poison, pollution and radiation.

Also because it resonates with the upper chakras it is particularly good for problems of the brain, eyes, ears, neck and throat, especially cataracts, migraines and headaches, and problems with balance.

To Use Turquoise for Healing – it draws energy out of the body. Place against a problem area of the body and visualise the pain, tension or illness being drawn out of the body and into the stone, removing it all together. Its energy (and the healing process) will be enhanced by surrounding the turquoise with four small quartz points – point outward to draw out energy – points inward to replace negative with positive after the healing. Always clean the stones after use.

To Use Turquoise on the Chakras – it will cleanse, align and strengthen all the chakras.

• Throat – strengthens this chakra and always helps you to communicate with truth. It stimulates and harmonizes the energy centre, making it easier to articulate your innate wisdom. It also helps you communicate clearly what you want, and to then be able to communicate your desires to others in a way they can understand.
• Heart – ensures love flows into everything you do. Also it allows compassionate and loving energy to flow to your communications. It also opens the heart chakra for giving/receiving
• Brow chakra – helps develop clairvoyant and clairaudient abilities as well as enhance intuition
• Sacral chakra – enhances your creativity and helps with creative problem solving.
• Earthstar – spiritual grounding

To align your chakras – use with this intention and place one turquoise on each chakra for 3 – 5 minutes.If you only have one stone, not seven, move it up from base to crown 3 – 5 minutes at each chakra.

To help you to connect with and speak your personal truth, use it at the brow and throat with: Shattuckite, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Amazonite, Preseli Bluestone or Chrysoprase.

The energy of Turquoise resonates particularly well in the throat and brow chakras, allowing you to access past life knowledge. Its energy can help you during meditation to explore past lives. If you use it at the throat chakra, it helps you to become aware of vows made during past lives, and to release them if appropriate. It also allows you to have a deeper awareness of the flow from life to life, and can you to ultimately discover what your purpose is for being here at this time.

On an emotional level, turquoise can help you because it balances the emotions and induces a sense of serenity and peace. It helps you to recognize the causes of happiness and unhappiness, and deal with anything which is stopping you from being happy. It also stabilises mood swings.

If placed in your environment it will bring a sense of peace and serenity. It does this by clearing any negative energy and restoring balance on all levels.

To balance your masculine and feminine energies, use it with: Aventurine, Golden Labradorite, Iolite, Lapis Lazuli, Nephrite Jade, Magnetite, Rhodochrosite, Amazonite and Hematite.

To enhance psychic gifts, combine it with other communication stones which will help you manifest them: Blue Sapphire, Blue Aragonite, Blue Shattuckite, Blue Topaz, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli and Blue Tourmaline.

Wearing and Carrying Turquoise

Wearing Turquoise jewellery is particularly helpful since the stone will be with you continuously and it will harmonize and revitalize your body because it emits an energy which is particularly useful when you are depleted or exhausted.

Worn or carried anywhere, turquoise will always protect and bless the wearer. A string of turquoise worn at the neck will absorb all negativity from the body and mind. Or a bracelet, necklace or even an anklet it will help the body detox alcohol, pollution, poison and radiation. When you wear a circle of beads around one area of the body it means that as the blood flows back and forth through the area, the turquoise can purify it. It is particularly beneficial for increasing the circulation to muscles, torn ligaments or tendons to help with healing.

For a problem with their lungs, throat or from asthma, hang a turquoise on a chain directly over the affected area. This allows the stone’s energy to work continuously.

For a problem with hearing or with ear infections, use a head band to hold a piece of turquoise against the ear, but please make sure the stone is large enough to stay outside your ear rather than get stuck inside it.

If you suffer from depression, sleep with the stone. This also helps if you cannot sleep.

Use an elixir to bathe a sprained or pulled muscle. It will also help damaged or cut tissues to heal. For headaches, soak a cloth in the elixir and place on your forehead till the pain goes away. You can also place the elixir in your bath to bathe and soothe your whole body. Or you can drink it to strengthen the body, helping it to fight off viruses and infections – that is the elixir, not the bath water J

Note: please make the elixir by the indirect method.

Other Additional Points:

• Helps you feel calm and relaxed when speaking
• Helps you to become more compassionate, especially to people who are not compassionate to you. It helps you learn to forgive them.
• Helps you live integrity and truth.
• Helps you manifest wisdom and understanding.
• Brings freedom from limitation and fear, allowing you to be happy.
• Relieves and dissipates sadness or grief.
• Help you attune to the higher realms
• Increases the ability to think positively

Have fun!

Hamaliel

Pronounced:

Ham – al – i – el

Well, I thought I would investigate the angel of the month for August as we are now in August, though how I have no idea how we have managed that! It doesn’t seem long since it was Equinox in March and we are almost as Equinox in September. Perhaps we should really be playing Eth the Angel of Time because we are really, seriously in Dr Who territory with Time at the moment. Timey wimey… indeed!

Unfortunately, the actual Angel of August changes, depending on which article you read and, although Hamaliel is called the Angel of August, he’s sometimes listed as the Angel of September as well – so you have two opportunities to work with him if you want to! It always seems a bit silly to assign any of the angelics months really because you can talk to them at any time.

Titles

Angel of Logic

Angel of Action

Angel of Perseverance

Angel of the Harvest.

Angel of Virgo (with Metatron)

Hamaliel is alsoone of the rulers of the Choir of Angels known as The Virtues. So I think he probably has enough to do without being assigned a month to look after as well!

Hamaliel Gifts

Confidence, Self-Realization,Relaxation, Tranquillity, Balance, Harmony,Maturity and Wisdom

Colours Associated with Hamaliel

Rich Golden Browns, Russet Reds and Bright Yellows

Hamaliel is a teaching angel rather than a healing angel- though this does not mean he cannot heal, of course!  All angels can. It just means his primary function is to teach and he instructs in a repetitive manner – which isn’t bad because most of us seem to have less memory than a goldfish at the moment courtesy of all the extreme solar activity! And he will guide you forward, step by step, until you reach your goal and attain your full potential in this lifetime.And one of the ways he does this is in his guise as the Angel of Logic because he increases our ability to think in a logical and orderly manner – no mean feat for some of us who function intuitively most of the time.

Hamaliel will also enhance your relationships and his angelic energy will smooth your life path, making it easier for you to travel along it with ease and grace. Well, who wouldn’t want that at the moment when all we seem to find at every turn is complete and utter chaos?

And another benefit of working with him is that he will help you develop a natural ability to meet and draw towards you people who are beneficial to you… Again – how fabulous is that?

And, finally, as if he didn’t bring enough gifts already – he will help you:

• develop spiritually

• identify the areas in your life which need re-balancing

• connect with the discipline and commitment you need to follow through and make positive changes in your life.

• complete tasks

• develop relationships – personal and professional

• increase your vitality

• increase the amount of joy in your life

The main crystals associated with Hamaliel are Turquoise and Blue Topaz, both of which are powerful stones. I like using both of them. Just see which one you are attracted to.But others are listed in various sources – Diamond, Ruby, Peridot, Carnelian, Rhodochrosite, Clear Quartz, Agate and any green coloured stone, which means you probably have a stone somewhere which this angels likes!

Ritual with Hamaliel

As Angel of the Harvest, one of Hamaliel’s jobs is to help us learn how to receive and accept gifts from Source, the Divine, God, the Universe … whatever term suits you. We are usually very good at giving, but not so good at receiving. So if that is you – this is your go to angel! He helps you understand – on all levels – that you are as worthy as the next person to receive abundance in all its forms…if not more so in many cases!

One of the ways to do this with Hamaliel is to make a list of all the areas in your life where you need some help with receiving and accepting gifts – financial, career, friendship, education, health … more Star Wars films (sorry – I couldn’t help myself!).

It’s your list, so you can put anything you want on it. The only thing that limits you is what you think you can or cannot put on your list. Just give in and put everything down. I mean if you are going to dream – why dream small? Go ahead … dream BIG… ENORMOUS … GIGANTIC! Otherwise, really, what’s the point? Then leave your list and think about it for a bit because it’s best to be clear about what you want since Hamaliel will always ensure that you get it. So you want to make really sure you are asking clearly and precisely, so you get exactly what you want – not what you wrote in a hurry without thinking about it properly! Words are vitally important! Use the right ones… please!

Then all you have to do is decide the best way for you to ask for Hamaliel’s help. There are so many different ways I would be here all month if I tried listing them. Think about it and see what appeals to you. You can start by just asking for Hamaliel’s help with all the things on your list, you can build an altar and leave your list on it, you can programme a clear quartz to broadcast your list until it starts manifesting … or make up a ritual which suits the way you like to work with the angelics! And again, the only thing which will limit you is what you think you can or cannot do. Be inventive… be adventurous even… and, above all, make sure you and Hamaliel have some fun together.

I hope you enjoy discovering all the delights of the Angel of August… and the good news – if you read the right article you can play with him all over again in September!
