Healing. Protection, Divination, Peace, Cleansing, Grounding

Obsidian stimulates growth on all levels.

Just when we thought 2017 was going to be a relief after 2016 – new beginnings after completion – what is the stone which resonates to 10 (2+0+1+7 =10)?

Obsidian … not the easiest stone to work with, though it is one of the most powerful. It is known as a stone of truth and it will reveal everything, including things you have carefully buried to ensure you never ever find them again. In most cases it could be described as merciless because it exposes all flaws, weaknesses and blockages. Nothing can remain hidden if you work with this stone, so you have to be ready to do it. It is never for the faint-hearted, mainly because it has no boundaries or limitations, so it works extremely fast and with great power. So you need to make sure you work with this stone consciously, and with a really clear intention to get the most out of it.

But, on the bright side, it is deeply cleansing, so it enables you to clear anything which comes up quickly and efficiently, and it is good at grounding and protecting you so you will feel safe while you work. You just have to be really sure you want to do the work before you start.

Clear quartz will help with this whole process because it grounds and helps you express whatever the obsidian finds in your Four Body System.

If you find working with obsidian is difficult for you, use green aventurine, rose quartz or chrysocolla to soften its affects. Or use apache tears – these are nodules of obsidian, but they are more gentle. Or snowflake obsidian is another alternative. It is not as intense as black obsidian. Or seek out a qualified therapist. This is one of those stones where this may be necessary because it can bring up deeply held negative emotional states, and unpleasant memories. It brings deep soul healing and this can also start to clear negative ancestral energy and past life problems which have been carried forward into this life. You might need help to ensure they are completely removed. Obsidian magnifies all negative energy in your system so it can be fully experienced and then released.

Obsidian should be cleaned under luke-warm running water each time it is used. It is best charged in the early morning or late afternoon sun.

The Angelic Connection:

Use Obsidian when working with Archangel Azrael who can you move towards new beginnings, new possibilities, and new awakened levels of awareness

As always, there is lots of information available. Look it up if you want more, but for those of you who would like a few practical ways to work with the stone – here they are:

• Carrying the stone will block negativity of any kind. It stops psychic attacks and removes negative spiritual influences.
• Hold a piece in each hand or place a piece under each foot to ground. It activates an instant connection from the base chakra to the core of the Earth.
• Placing an Obsidian by the bed or under the pillow can draw out mental stress and tension over night. It can have a calming effect, but please be aware that it can also bring up the reasons for the stress and force you to deal with them. Use with caution if you do this.
• Place in the home, office, or sacred space to remove any unwanted negative energy. It will block geopathic stress and absorb up environmental pollution.
• Chakra Work – place the stone on the chakra and leave it for between 10 – 20 minutes.

Brow – it will activate the chakra as well as break through mental barriers and dissolve mental conditioning.

Brow – for past life healing use here… carefully, with a very clear intention. If you have come back to this life in order to resolve a past life issue, place obsidian on this chakra and ask about it, listening for the answer. It may help you discover the purpose incarnating at this time as well.

Sacral – to ground spiritual energy into the body.

Brow and Sacral – used with intention at these two places Obsidian will connect the mind and emotions.

Base – allows the energy of the upper chakras to descend and facilitate a deep healing of the Lower Self. When used on the sacral, the same thing happens. It must be used with caution if you do this because it will expose everything you need to release, including past life and ancestral issues in this position.

Make no mistake – this is a hugely powerful stone and working with it will change you – probably in ways you couldn’t possibly imagine and, in quite a few cases, it won’t be pleasant either because Obsidian makes you face up to and acknowledge your true self. It takes you deep into your subconscious mind where it will bring shadow qualities to the surface for release. And some of these shadow issues will be linked to past lives and your ancestral line. They will be deep-seated traits and behaviour patterns which can sometimes be difficult to shift. You must be prepared to face all this before you start working with Obsidian otherwise some of it could come as a very nasty shock!

But the good news is the stone will be ready, willing and very able to help you clear anything you find from the whole of your Four Body System. It is a complete marvel! And it is particularly helpful for people who are reluctant to let go of the past. It will initiate a deep, clearing process, enabling them to finally let it all go and move on with their life.

It can also be used very effectively in your personal self-development work as a tool to help you recognize all your negative thought and behaviour patterns. It’s lovely shiny surface just reflects everything back to you and it takes you past the symptoms you are presenting to the root cause of your blockage or imbalance. It will also help you clear and release everything once you have examined the problem and learned what you need to know from it.

Just please make sure your intention is very,very clear when you do this. You should ask the stone to remove any patterns you find from our auric field and your cellular memory – in to separate sessions. Do not request both clearings at the same time. Do one, let your energy settle and only make the second request when you feel ready for the clearing process. And, if you have any problems at all, please go to a qualified crystal therapist immediately for help.

But Obsidian’s greatest gift is that it helps you understand who you truly are and not who you think you are, and then it will find ways for you to integrate these two perceptions into a whole. A whole new you, in fact!

How perfect is that for a 1 year of new beginnings? Hard to make them if there isn’t a whole new you to go with them.

Have a good journey with Obsidian. Your life will certainly never be the same again – on so many levels.

With the out-going energy of a 9 year and the incoming energy of a 1 year, things might seem a bit…. well, wonky….

Unfortunately for us, this is to be expected. With such a difference between the two years, the transitional period at the end of one and the beginning of the other was always going to be … odd, bizarre, weird… or any other word you want to use to describe your world while you are finally closing some doors and preparing to open others.

So, to ease you through it all, may I suggest using blue lace agate and rose quartz together. They are both wonderful stones and you can use them separately, but when their energies are combined it is particularly lovely.

If you want to know all the qualities the two stones possess, do look them up on line. There is always plenty of info available. This is just a tip reminding you that they will help enormously if you are feeling stressed. Blue lace agate is particularly useful if you have a tension-related headache. Its energy is very soothing. Do try it. Just lie down and put the crystal in the centre of your forehead. It works wonders!

So, as this is a year of new beginnings, it is important to re-balance and re-align. This will allow us to make the most of all our new opportunities when they arrive, and you will benefit greatly from making some time to sit with these two beautiful crystals. The blue lace agate will calm and soothe you and the rose quartz – well, that will just wrap you in the energy of Divine Unconditional Love – what could be better than that?

One last blue lace agate tip – when used in meditation it will first clear your throat chakra and when that is done it will make a connection up to the brow chakra and go up to the crown. This will help you connect to whatever higher aspect of yourself you usually work with, or your helpers and guides. So this will make accessing all sorts of guidance much, much easier.

Also, as it resonates very strongly with the heart it will help you to embody your heart’s desire – a fabulous thing in a year of new beginnings.

So please get yourself a piece of blue lace agate and rose quartz and, as you sit quietly with them, ask them to help to re-balance your body and your mind. Just don’t forget to thank them afterwards, though!

Bright blessings!

For this exercise – you can use any type of quartz: sphere, terminated, tumblestone, spirit quartz, phantom quartz, rutilated quartz or quartz with an inclusion like tourmaline, chlorite or red hematite.

Whatever quartz you have, you can use!

However, the only thing I would recommend is that you use three of the same shapes, so the energy can anchor in balanced and harmonious way. This is because different shapes emit the frequency from the crystalline matrix in different ways and mixing them while constructing a precise geometric shape won’t really work well.

You can use a combination of colours if you want to. Just be open to being drawn towards the three pieces you need at the time you do the meditation. You will always know which vibration you lack or need to work with. Just trust. Or if you really can’t decide, put a selection of quartz in front of you, close your eyes and move your hand over the stones, allowing it to stop over the ones you need. You will feel the pull in the palm of your hand.

Feel free to do this exercise many times, using different crystals, and see how the unique vibrations emitted by the stones change and enhance your meditational experience in so many different and beneficial ways.

You can use a specific type of quartz to achieve specific results –

Quartz with chlorite – the green chlorite is used to fill holes in your sacral area connected with lack of self-love, self-worth and self-respect.

Quartz with red hematite – this crystal is associated strongly with Archangel Michael, so you could use it and ask him to join you in the pyramid.

Citrine – holds the energy of the energy of light, happiness and abundance. Who wouldn’t want to sit in a pyramid filled with that?

Amethyst – connects you to your deep inner wisdom.

Anyway, you get the idea. Think about what you want and choose the most effective quartz to ensure you achieve your goal.

When Working with Any Kind of Quartz

Always remember:

Clear intentions always get clear results…

And it is your very clear intention which will achieve the result you want when you work with any variety of quartz. This is because this master healer is empowered by thought forms – which basically means, if you would like help and you direct your request for help in the form of a thought towards the crystal, the energy of that thought will settle in the crystalline matrix, allowing the crystal to work relentlessly until it helps you achieve the perfect result.

Of course, the crystal’s idea of the perfect result can, of course, sometimes differ from yours because they are truly holistic healers. They work on the whole of you, not just the bit you are having problems with! The best thing to do is to always ask the help which is for your highest and greatest good.

In this meditation your intention will mean you expand can the energy fields of the crystals in your three-sided pyramid so you can sit inside them.

Quartz Pyramid Meditation

• Place three crystals around you – one in front and two behind. Optional – place a night light behind the crystals so the flame glows through the stones.
• Close your eyes and make a connection to the energy you wish to use to construct an energetic pyramid and ask it to form a sphere of light above you. This can be anything – Divine Light, Divine Love, Reiki, Mahatma, the Violet Flame, Angelic Light … whatever you feel drawn to work with.
• Then set the intention that the sphere emits three beams – one beam flowing down from the sphere to anchor in the middle of each crystal. This forms your three-sided energetic pyramid. Also be aware that as one forms around you above ground, you may also see or sense another one forming below you under the ground. The sphere of energy will remain above you forming the apex of your pyramid.
• Now open your eyes and look at the crystal in front of you. Be aware of the crystal and the energy anchored inside it and the beam going back to the sphere above you.
• Now look inside the crystal and connect to it on a deeper and deeper level by continuing to gaze at it. Ask the crystal to expand its energy field and see or sense it growing larger and larger until it surrounds you completely, allowing you to rest inside it – physically and energetically.
• Repeat with the other two crystals, and you can connect to them remotely if your space is not large enough for you to actually turn and face them. It is, as always, your intention which will allow you to do this.
• Sit in this energy and journey with your crystals, held safely in their combined and expanded energy fields. If you wish to meet an angel, helper or guide, an ancestor, or the spirit of the crystal while you journey, set this intention now and wait for them to arrive.
• When you feel your journey has finished, dismantle the pyramid by setting the intention that the beams of energy return to the sphere and release the sphere, intending for the energy to go back to Source.
• Thank your crystals and anyone who joined you, ground and return.

I hope you enjoy this exercise. I know any quartz crystals you use will!

Chakras: Heart, Thymus, Throat, Brow and Crown

Key Words: Divine Love and Emotional healing

Element: Water

Pink Kunzite is one of my favourite stones. While my heart was healing in a big way, I used to sleep with it, constantly… for months at a time. I will be talking about this stone, though there are other colours, which will bring different gifts in to your life.

It is a powerful stone and it brings deep emotional healing – on all levels. – and it teaches kindness and compassion, which is what the world needs at the moment – everywhere really. It also soothes grief, loss and feelings of separation. But, most important of all, it teaches you to love yourself …. and we all need reminding to do that, from time to time! It is such a good stone to use at the heart chakra because it helps your heart to remain open, no matter what is happening, or what is coming up for clearing, and because Pink Kunzite has a large amount of Lithium, it is a fantastic stone for stress relief.

Lithium is very, very calming and using it means you remain calm. It has the ability to lift and stabilise your mood, as will any stone containing the mineral – Lithium Quartz and Lepidolite are another two which are also amazing. Lithium can also be used for pain relief as well, and any stone containing it should be placed directly on the skin where the pain is centred. It is particularly helpful if you have arthritis – though, as always, it should not be used as a substitute for a trip to the doctor if you need to go!

The main thing Kunzite does is to enable you to remain open to an abundance of unconditional love, so it is the very best stone to use if you want more love in your life – starting, of course, with loving yourself. It is no good going straight to loving others if you have no idea how to love yourself. It will never work. But Kunzite works in all sorts of ways to bring love into your life and, when you work with it, especially over an extended period, it infuses the whole of your Four Body system with the energy of Divine Unconditional Love.

Kunzite also unites the heart and the mind, allowing both these parts of you to communicate. This is what brings about such deep emotional healing and the heart and the mind working together enables you to express all your authentic thoughts and emotions.

The reason that kunzite manifests love in your life … for everything … is because it is has a very high vibration. So it, in effect, raises your vibrational rate to a frequency bandwidth which allows you to connect with Divine Unconditional Love. It brings you into resonance with the vibration of love! And, as love downloads, quite literally into your life, your thoughts and the way you communicated starts to become more and more loving.

Another benefit of working with the stone is that as it raises your vibrational rate to match its rate, it takes you out of all the low vibrational energy around you – anger, fear, frustration, hate, jealousy – so it no longer affects so easily. You literally rise above it and, as long as you allow the stone to keep your vibrational rate high by keeping in on you or near you, you will feel a lot more comfortable around people who are stuck in lower vibrational energy.

Other things kunzite can do for you:

• helps you to find any heart-based blockage, and to understand what you need to do to clear it
• removes obstacles from your path
• helps the physical body to recover from the effects of emotional stress.
• helps you live in the NOW by clearing blockages which anchor you in the past.
• helps recover memories you have blocked so you can clear them from your system
• helps clear heart-based problems carried forward from past lives
• reduces stress related anxiety and helps to alleviate panic attacks.
• helps you compromise so you can balance personal needs and the needs of others.
• very effective at clearing childhood stress and trauma
• helps you develop tolerance and forgiveness.
• helps you reconnect with others, especially if you are prone to guarding and protecting yourself emotionally
• promotes feelings of peace and inner strength.
• promotes self-love and self-worth.
• encourages a positive attitude

Using Kunzite

Kunzite should be worn in direct contact with the skin to get the most benefit from it, especially if used for reducing muscle tension and relieving pain. Overnight is often best and it should be cleaned under warm (NOT HOT) running water each time it is used. It can be re-charged overnight in a bowl of hematite tumble stones. Sometimes just gazing at kunzite or holding it for a while will be enough to release stress at the end of an unpleasant day. It will release tense muscles, calm your nerves and release lower vibrational states like anger or fear from your system.

Kunzite clears the aura and strengthens your energy field. It also brings balance and harmony between the physical body and the subtle anatomy. All you have to do to gain these benefits it keep it with you and it starts working as soon as it enters your Four Body System. It’s a marvel!

Kunzite also clears negative energy from a room or environment, filling it with its own uniquely loving energy. All you have to do is leave a piece where you need to clear negativity, but please remember to cleanse the stone regularly if you use it for this purpose. It can also be placed in an area of disturbed Earth energy to block geopathic stress.

Chakra and Kunzite

If you hold the crystal with the striations running up and down vertically, it will align the chakras, connecting them sequentially and balancing them.

• Kunzite activates the Heart Chakra and encourages the energy in your heart to travel up your central channel with the Kunzite energy to align the chakra with the Throat and Brow Chakras. This alignment then helps you to communicate more easily and effectively in a loving way. The energy then moves up to the Crown Chakra, enabling you to become aware of the interconnectedness of all things… on all levels.
• The energy of Kunzite when used at the Throat and Brow Chakras together (i.e. a stone on each chakra or used first on one chakra and then the other if you don’t have two pieces) helps, especially when used with a specific intention, to express your thoughts and emotions  more freely and easily.
• If used on the Heart and the Brow Chakras, it connects your heart and your mind which is so useful in so many ways. I’d be here all day. Just use it with this intention and see what happens!

Meditating with Kunzite

The energy of Kunzite will help you meditate because it calms and soothes you and helps you enter a deeply medative state. It will then open your heart to profound experiences of Divine Unconditional Love.

Other benefits of meditating with this stone include:

• a deeper connection to your intuition
• easier access to guidance from helpers and guides
• easier connection to your Higher Self and other higher aspects of yourself.
• helps you understand everything your helpers and guides share with you and remember it when the meditation has finished.
• Stimulates creativity
• clears any energy which might disrupt your meditation which makes it really helpful for people who find it hard to meditate

If you make a gem elixir from Kunzite, it has a profound calming effect on your heart. An elixir is made by keeping a clean piece of kunzite in a glass container for 12 to 24 hours. The elixir can also be used topically to help soothe skin rashes and irritations caused by allergic reactions to chemicals.

The energy of Kunzite combines well with quite a few stones. Always see which ones you are guided to use it with to get the best result for you – rose quartz, malachite, morganite, emerald, iolite, lapis lazuli, azeztulite and hematite.

Also, to bring balance in a profound way to the heart, use pink kunzite together with hiddenite, which is green kunzite. This variation of kunzite encourages growth and is known as a Stone of Evolution. It helps you grow spiritually and emotionally. It encourages you to begin again and focus on the present, releasing any pain or anxiety from your past. These two stones work incredibly well together and allow you to expand your heart centre in so many beneficial ways. Just get some and go for it!

Well, I seem to have written pages, but it’s all useful information if you want to start working with this miraculous stone. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

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…
