HEALING WITH QUAN YIN

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…

THE EARTHSTAR CHAKRA

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…

THE FIVE ELEMENT BREATH

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.

August Is the Month of the Heart

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!

USING TURQUOISE

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!

ANGEL OF AUGUST

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!

REVITALISING YOUR ENERGY

With the energy of the New Moon on 4thJuly being about moving forward and releasing everything which is holding you back, and Mars going direct this week to help, here is an energy exercise which will compliment both, allowing you to clear your system and take new energy in.

Better to create a new beginning with new, clean energy in your system rather than do it with old, stagnant stuff. That will only get you exactly the same thing!

And, if you have never used energy before – you can still do this just by setting the intention (i.e. silently saying what you want to happen) that you want to breathe energy into the parts of the body listed below. The best energy to use to do this, if you are not familiar with the many different frequencies which are available, is white light or sunlight – just breathe it in! That’s all it takes! But just remember at the end of the exercise to set the intention at the end to stop breathing it in otherwise you will just keep doing it with every breath you take.

Here’s the basic exercise – do what you want with it!!!

Revitalising your Energy Exercise

This simple self-treatment to use at any time to replace energy when you feel depleted in any way – and any frequency can be used. Your intention to use it is all it takes! You can also use it to release negative energy by adding this intention.

Decide which energy you wish to work with – you can even ask for angelic energy and sit quietly allowing your chosen angel to place their energy in the two places listed below. The only thing which will limit the way you use this exercise is what you think you can or cannot do with it.

Be adventurous! What have you got to lose? The worst thing that will happen is that you will feel better….

  • Relax and focus on your breath.
  • Connect with the energy you have chosen to work with or ask an angelic to join you and send their energy to you.
  • Place a hand over your solar plexus chakra and the other directly underneath, touching your stomach. Or tell your helper and guide this is where you would like them to place their energy.
  • Allow the energy to flow into these two places for ten to fifteen minutes. Or longer if you wish. You can even do this before you go to sleep and it won’t matter if you drop off. The energy will stop on its own when your system is re-calibrated.
  • Ground firmly.

Additional Points:

  • You can increase the effectiveness of this exercise by setting the intention to breathe the energy into both these places while you are working. It will intensify the flow.
  • You can also set the intention to release any stagnant energy on your out breath, which will mean there is more room for positive energy to flow into your system afterwards.
  • You can use specific energy to get specific results. The Violet Fame of Transmutation will cleanse everything on a very deep level. Quan Yin’s energy will help you with issues around love and compassion. Aphrodite’s energy will help you with self-love. Archangel Raphael’s angelic ray will be deeply healing… you get the idea. Decide what you want and go for it in a big way! Reiki will support your physical body – it is fabulous for that. Mahatma will help you increase your Light Quotient … as will Metatron’s energy. You can do anything with this very basic exercise… play with it and find the best way for you to use it.
  • And don’t forget a fabulous way to fill yourself with energising energy is to use the Sun, setting the intention to breathe it in to these two places. Solar energy in the solar plexus is particularly effective and invigorating!
  • And if you have a sudden urge to be attuned to a specific energy – you know where I am – or at least how to contact me! Happy to get that sorted for you! One I would heartily recommend is Quan Yin’s Lavader Flame … beautiful energy and you can do it in a day!

Have fun!

♥          ♥          ♥          ♥

Yes, I know you probably expected me to write about the stone, but while I was looking for inspiration, I kept finding articles about the actual colour, so I took it as a sign that what I really needed to do was investigate further and then write a blog.

However, rest assured I also kept getting little nudges about doing the same for the lovely stone, so watch this space for that… at least I won’t have to do any work first, though, as I’ve been using the stone for years. It is fabulous! But, as always, I could be just a little bit biased!

So, what about the colour? I love it. I have always loved it, so it was interesting to see why I wanted (or needed) the vibration around me… and the times I drawn to it. It was actually quite illuminating.

It represents open communication and clarity of thought… something we could all do with really, but it also does heaps of other useful stuff – as you can see from the list above, which is very impressive. It is also the colour of communication, self-awareness and initiative.

Turquoise is obviously blue and yellow combined, so it radiates peace, calm and tranquillity from blue frequency and from yellow it gifts you with an uplifting an invigorating energy. Then, as a final bonus – from green you get balance and growth. Also, just looking at the colour brings a feeling of serenity and stability – who wouldn’t want all that?

But the most important thing for me is the fact that this is the colour of the evolved soul. So go and get something turquoise immediately, so you have this energy around you. We are all evolving at an astonishing rate, and will be for the next few months, so we may as well give in gracefully to the whole process and enhance it by using the energy of this lovely colour … well, everywhere really!It is such a useful colour to use when you are stuck and don’t know what to do next.

The short version of what Turquoise does is:

Turquoise brings:

  • calmness, relaxation and peace.
  • emotional balance and control, though too much of the colour could lead to excessive emotional control, which is not so good.
  • clarity of mind and creativity.
  • the ability to reflect and focus on your needs, thoughts and feelings.
  • higher self-esteem and self-love, though too much of it can bring aloofness and self-centredness, which could make you shut out other people.
  • creative expression rather than with rational thought.
  • empathy and caring
  • the ability to identify new ways to move forward, balancing the pros and cons, the right and wrong, of any situation.
  • heightened intuitive ability and spiritual growth
  • the ability to love others unconditionally
  • heightened skills connected to observation and perception and discrimination.

Additional Points

  • It recharges you during times of stress and exhaustion and, if you focus on it during meditation or wear it, you will immediately feel calm and,thankfully, feel as if you are ready to face the world again.
  • It is particularly useful to have in your environment during a crisis because it helps with clear thinking and decision-making, which usually goes straight out of the window if you are in a panic!
  • It also enhances organizational skills … always helpful if you are lacking in this area!
  • It opens communication between the heart and the throat, especially when speaking.It helpfully gives you control over speech and expression, and builds confidence.
  • It helps you control your emotional responses which in turn will allow you to create a new level of emotional balance and stability in your life. However, during this healing process you may have an increase of emotional instability before everything clears through your system.

Too much can over-stimulate your mind and create emotional imbalance. It can also lead to emotional stress, lack of communication skills, unreliability and deception.

Too little can cause you to hide your feelings and emotions, resulting in secrecy and confusion about your direction in life.

Negative meaning of Turquoise relates to being either over-emotional or non-emotional, lacking communication skills, being unreliable and deceptive. It can also make you self-centred, always putting your own needs above all others.

Shades of Turquoise

Aqua – refreshing, uplifting, creative and cheerful, as well as strong and independent.

Aquamarine strengthens creativity and inspiration. It soothes and balances the mind and the emotions.

Teal- symbolizes credibility and reliability. It also promotes spiritual development.

So, think about the colour and if you aren’t filled with the sudden urge to dash out and get something, take a moment to ask yourself why … try and find out which part of you is resisting all the great things this frequency of light has to offer and then find a way to help it evolve and move out of fear into love,,,,

THE SUMMER SOLSTICE

Solstice comes from two Latin words: sol: sun and sistit: stands or stay – because for several days before and after each solstice, astronomically speaking, the sun appears to stand still.

As this festival revolves around the sun, one thing which is often suggested is burning a candle for the whole day, especially if it is cloudy or raining. The flame represents the sun and is a reminder of the power and the energy which is available to you while the sun is in the sky. Rituals are best if they are performed at noon, when the sun is at the height of its power. It starts to fade when the sun starts moving again a few days after the longest day.

It is also known as Litha – which means Light

Keywords: Power, leadership, authority

Element: Fire

Associations:  Power, joy, courage, happiness, strength, energy, self-confidence, identity, health, wealth and career, maximising opportunities, seizing chances and enjoying the present.

Symbols: Brightly-coloured flowers, oak boughs or tall broad indigenous trees, scarlet, orange and yellow ribbons, gold coloured coins and any gold jewellery, any golden fruit or vegetables.

Animal: Bear

Tree: Oak

Incenses, flower and herbs: Chamomile, dill, elder, fennel, lavender, frankincense, orange, marigolds, rosemary, sage and sagebrush, St. John’s Wort, lemon verbena and vervain, any golden, red or orange flowers

Candle colours: Red, orange, gold

Crystals: Amber, carnelian, red jasper, sun stone, clear quartz, citrine

Things To Do

  • Meditate on the Sun or on the Fire element and use the energy to transform your life in some way. (See Solar Power Blog)
  • Meditate on the key words of the festival – power, leadership and authority and see if you can claim them in new and exciting ways to enhance your life. You can also ask if you are the one who has power, leadership and authority in your life – or have you given it away to someone else. This would be the perfect day to claim it back using the energy of the Sun to literally fire you up about taking back control of your life on all levels!
  • Find new ways to cleanse your solar plexus chakra – this is where the fire element lives in your energy system. Also if you cleanse it the night before, on Solstice Day you can set the intention to absorb the energy of the sun in this chakra from dawn until noon to energize everything!
  • Call on Nathaniel – the Angel of Fire – and see what you can co-create with him on Solstice Day using the energy of Fire and his beautiful angelic vibrations.(See Nathaniel blog)
  • Make sun water – place a bowl of still mineral water outside with cleansed clear quartz or citrine in the water, and cover it with film or mesh from dawn till noon. Remove the covering and the crystals at noon. You can then usesmall amounts of the water in your bath or in your drinks to either heal or energise – or both! You can also use it to open your crown chakra by placing a few drops on your head, or place the water in a spray bottle and use it to cleanse your aura.
  • Place gold jewellery in the sunlight from dawn until noon with the intention of allowing it to absorb the Sun’s energy so you can then transfer into your energy system when you wear the jewellery later. If it is not a sunny day, light a gold candle and place the jewellery around it until the candle burns though.
  • Light sun oils, frankincense, juniper, rosemary, orange or benzoin or burn them to bring the power of the Sun into where you live or where you work.

But, whatever you decide to do to celebrate on 21st… enjoy it!

Bright Blessings

ARCHANGEL NATHANIEL – ANGEL OF FIRE

Nathaniel brings balance, harmony and trust, and can help you connect with the spiritual, angelic and higher realms. He also gifts you with a sense of inner-peace and confidence when you start working with him.

Colour: Red and Orange
Chakra: Heart Chakra – though I would also say Solar Plexus as well because this is the chakra which holds the energy of the fire element. He opens and expands both energy centres.
Celestial Body: Sun, or any star
Crystals: Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Garnet, Rutilated Quartz,

Element: Fire

Fire energy is forceful, passion, prosperity, protection, cleansing purifying mind, body, and spirit. Also – intention, motivation, and passion.

Angelic Energy: Orange Flame of Transformation

You can ask Nathaniel to send the energy of this flame into any area of your life to transform it and transmute any negative energy which is associated with the thing you want to change or release.

Red Candle

When working with Nathaniel, you can light a red candle with the intention of clearing from your life on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – anything which no longer serves your highest good. Focus on the flame and simply allow all your thoughts to float away. Set the intention to breathe out anything which you no longer need in your life and breathe in Nathaniel’s energy, allowing it to flow everywhere to enhance the release process.

The very lovely Nathaniel is also known as the Angel of Energy, the Angel of Purification, the Angel of Divinity and the Angel of Life Purpose. He’s a very busy guy! But lovely with it, I have to say. But since he also works with the spiritual law of Cause and Effect he always makes sure you really understand that what you send out into the world will always come back to you.- one way or another! But on the bright side you can ask him help you ensure you only send out positive energy so more comes back to you!

Nathaniel resonates with the element of Fire and the energy associated with it – purification, transformation, transcendence, prosperity, protection, cleansing, motivation, passion and enthusiasm. So if you feel you are lacking in any of these areas, he is the angel you need to call into your life … immediately! He works by transferring the energy of fire to your life and your world where it can – very effectively! – burn away anything which no longer serves your highest and greatest good.

You ask for his help when you feel stagnant or stuck and are ready to move forward in your life because he will literally light a fire under you and get everything moving again! He instigates change on many, many levels and if you start to work with him you must be prepared for rapid and intense change. But he will always ensure all the changes are for your highest and greatest good and he will help you adapt gracefully during any transition period.

Archangel Nathaniel –

  • encourages you to maintain a strong belief in your dreams so he can help you manifest them on the earthplane. His energy will always help you to manifest your intentions.
  • helps you to connect with your personal power.
  • encourages you to follow your heart’s desires
  • encourages you to do what you love
  • encourages you to embrace and follow your life or soul purpose.
  • helps to remain grounded during meditation and while you are doing any kind of spiritual work
  • encourages you to use all your gifts and talents to help yourself and others.
  • helps you to overcome obstacles
  • helps you to see the Divine spark inside you and anyone else
  • helps you to discern between things that enlighten, inspire and encourage you and things that distract you.
  • helps you focus your thoughts and emotions, bringing clarity to both
  • encourages you to release things which no longer positively serve you – on any level – and he also helps you to release them with love and gratitude
  • helps you embrace new experiences and opportunities.
  • helps you move from 3D to 5D with ease and grace

Nathaniel brings the energies of purification, protection and cleansing into your life, and will always help you clear away anything which is no longer useful to you or your spiritual journey. Is it time to have a chat with him? I would!
