Sound and the Solar Plexus

With all the challenges everyone is facing at the moment, it is quite likely that your solar plexus chakra is not functioning at optimum most of the time! And, since it is the energetic pump for the entire system, it will have a knock-on effect on the other chakras as well.

It is an easy fix if it feels under-energised… just put the energy of your choice into the chakra and all will be fine. But if it is over-energized, it is a little more tricky.

It is harder to drain excess energy away than it is to pour more in, but you can still re-balance using sound.

All you have to do is set a very clear intention that you want to release any excess energy from the vortex at the front and the back to calm them down and then intend that the sound you then make goes to both vortices.

And the sound is SHHHH … as if you were telling someone to be quiet.

And you will find you are telling your chakra the same thing!

Bright Blessings!

Protecting yourself from Energy Vampires

From time to time we all end up in a room with someone who seems to be draining our energy. This type of person has become known as an energy vampire. Some do it deliberately. Others are not even aware they are doing it at all, but both have a detrimental affect on sensitive souls like us and we end up feeling completely wiped out after the encounter.

So, should you ever end up in this sort of situation, there is something you can do about it to stop the energy drain. It is a really simple exercise which you can do as soon as you realise what is going on… and hopefully you will already be sitting in a chair. If not, you can still cross your legs at the ankles. But if you can’t, putting your hands together, as described below, will still help, though it won’t be quite so effective because it does not completely close the energy circuit.

  • While sitting in a chair cross your legs at the ankles.
  • Now with your hands resting in your lap, make sure all the fingertips and the thumb on the left and right hand are touching.
  • This hand position closes off the circuit for your energy and stops any kind of energy drain.

You can also use this technique to close yourself down – temporarily, of course, because staying closed is not good and causes your whole energy system to stagnate – if you start to reach overwhelm with bad news or the negativity caused by it. The recent earthquake is a good example. For a sensitive it was completely overpowering, so use this to give yourself a short break from it.

Hope this helps!

Bright Blessings!

Strengthening your Aura

  • Hold a double terminated clear quartz in each hand with the intention of strengthening your auric sheath. But if you only have one it will still work. It will just take a little longer because your crystal will have more to do on its own!
  • Sit quietly with your crystals and allow them to repair the energy field around your body and stabilize it before they fill it with their high frequency energy.
  • When you feel this process is complete, thank your crystals and make sure you clean them thoroughly.

This simple exercise will ensure your auric sheath is strong and vibrant and it will also mean that if you come into contact with anyone who is likely to drain your energy it will be much harder for them to do it.

And, while the crystals are working on all seven layers of your aura, they will also transfer their crystalline energy to your physical body through the palm chakras, increasing your energy levels, so this is always a useful thing to do at any time.

Bright Blessings!

The Adi Mantra

Mantras re-set the brain so they can be used to replace one set of old redundant thought and behaviour patterns, with new more effective ones that are contained within the sonic energy of the words you chant.

You do, however, have to persevere. You can’t just chant it once and expect it to work. You have to keep chanting until you feel am energetic shift inside you… or you become aware that you are no longer doing or thinking the same things you usually think and do.

You also have to have a crystal clear intention when you chant about the fact that you would like all the good things the mantra holds as gifts for you.

The Adi Mantra is a really good place to start because it generates the energy you need to start something new. It provides everything you need – energetically speaking – for new beginnings. It also gives you the courage to look for a new path and take your first steps down it. And, handily, it inspires creativity as well, so that will help with any new adventure… and that is the energy we are all in at the moment… new adventures.

The last thing the mantra does is help you to express yourself and speak clearly about what you you really want to do with your life and what you will need to do it.

So, if I were you, I would start chanting this daily really soon… and keep chanting.

The Adi Mantra

Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo

Pronunciation:

Ong Naa Moo G’roo Day Na Mo

Translation:

“I bow to the creative energy of the infinite. I bow to the divine channel of wisdom.”

Have fun!

Bright Blessings!

Brigid – Fire Goddess

Fire in the head…to quicken us.
Fire in the cauldron…to heal us.
Fire in the forge of the heart…to temper us.

As Imbolc is upon us, maybe it is time to choose one of the three flames held by the goddess Brigid and ask her to place it gently in the appropriate chakra to clear out your system. This will mean you are well prepared for the start of the outward stages of growth. They begin tomorrow and, after so long in the darkness, the light really returns… changing everything.

So, just ask Brigid to join you and place a flame in one of the places shown below:

Sacral Chakra – the Flame of Creation

Heart Chakra – the Flame of Healing

Brown Chakra – the Flame of Inspiration

And then let the flame do what ever you need it to do.

Then when you are done ask Brigid to take the flame, holding it safely until you need it again, thank her for her help and ground very firmly.

Happy Imbolc!

Malachite Meditation

As most people are in the process of intense change and, in some cases, complete transformation, malachite is a very useful stone to use to help with this and it will make it easier to find what you need to release to move on… to become one step closer to your authentic self, especially since it allows you to learn how to express your true feelings.

It is best used during meditation, and it will show you exactly what is blocking your spiritual growth and then it will help you clear the outdated and unwanted thought and behaviour patterns. It also helps you to take responsibility for your thoughts and actions, so you can learn not to repeat the same patterns that caused your spiritual growth to be blocked in the first place.

Meditation

  • Relax and focus on your breath, taking a moment to attune to the energy of your malachite. Hold it in your non-dominant hand and use your breath to draw the stone’s vibrational frequency into your body through your palm chakra. It will run up your arm to your shoulder and then spread into the rest of your body.
  • When you feel you are vibrating at the same rate as your malachite, place it over you solar plexus and ask the crystal to expand its energy field. Then all you have to do is sit quietly while you see or sense a bubble of energy radiating out from the stone, getting bigger and bigger until it completely surrounds you. Feel the energy flowing out from the stone, forming a cloak of protection around you. See how safe and secure you feel.
  • And since you feel safe and secure, it will make it easier for you to deal with any negative thoughts and emotions that may rise to the surface of your mind while you continue to sit with your malachite.. They will be the things you have been holding on to until the time is right to release them. Now is that time.
  • Ask you malachite to reveal to you what has been holding you back and the best way to release it. Sit quietly while the stone works and accept what comes to you with an open heart and an open mind.
  • Then when you have learned what you need to release, ask your malachite to absorb the energy of all these things that have been holding you back, keeping you from reaching your full potential and feel all this negative energy flowing out of your body through the solar plexus and into your stone.
  • Allow your malachite to keep working until you feel you have released everything you need to let go of at this time and be aware of how clam you feel when the release is complete.
  • Take a moment to appreciate this feeling, thank your malachite for the help, then ground firmly and return your awareness to your surroundings.

Journey well with malachite!

Bright Blessings!

Working with Labradorite

Here are a few of the reasons that you will benefit from working with Labradorite before you get to 2023… and after you reach it!

Below are twelve examples of what you can choose to meditate on while you are sitting quietly with your Labradorite.

You can look at the list and choose one or you can just allow a number to pop into your head. This will often be the best intuitive choice because you are not engaging your mind by looking at points and deciding which ones is the best one for you.

Labradorite –

Crystal Tip for November

Since you may want to clear yourself out, not to mention re-balance yourself before you get to the madness of December, here is a layout that will allow you to do this.

Although, all the stones are wonderful to work with, the citrine will be the most useful one in this layout because it does so much and, before you use the layout, you will need to decide what help you need the most from the stone. It does a staggering amount of things, and it certainly does a lot more things than is shown in the short list below, but these work particularly well with this layout:

  • Releases tension
  • It clears any blockages in your Four Body System by transforming any negative energy into positive energy.
  • Aligns the chakras
  • Energises and revitalises you on all levels

You can ask for all four if you really feel you need them, but you may find you only need one or two when you start to work with your stones. Just check before use the layout because you will get better results if you ask for the right thing for you at the time you are working with your crystals.

So set your intention for your layout, which is to cleanse your Four Body System and re-balance the energy in your physical body. Then add your intention for your citrine and then you are good to go!

  • Pyrite at each foot chakra
  • Citrine at your solar plexus chakra
  • Moonstone in your left hand
  • Sunstone in your right hand
  • Place your crystals, focus on your breath, and just allow them to work. They all know exactly what to do!
  • Take your awareness to your feet and visualise the energy of the pyrite grounding you firmly. Then breathe the energy of the stone up through the feet chakras, so it can flow up both legs into your base chakra, where it will clear the base chakra and start to re-vitalise your physical body.
  • Now take your awareness to your citrine and visualize huge bursts of  bright golden energy radiating out of the stone, filling the chakra before it flows into your physical body, filling it and cleansing it as well, together with your etheric body. Then visualise it spreading out into your aura and the rest of your subtle anatomy doing the same thing.
  • Now take your awareness to your sunstone and the moonstone and visualise the two streams of crystalline energy flowing into your body through palm chakras, while you hold a very clear intention that you want their energy to bring each side of your body into balance, particularly masculine and feminine energy. they hold
  • Then when you feel all this has been done just lie in the combined energy of all your crystals for a few minutes.
  • Ground firmly and bring your awareness fully back to your surroundings.

And don’t forget to thank your crystals for all their hard work on your behalf!

Bright Blessings!

Want an Energy Boost?

Well, all you need is the grounding stone of your choice and two single terminated clear quartz.

Although I could choose a grounding stone, it’s always better to use one that resonates with you, not to mention one that works well for you because all the individual stones work so differently, interacting with your energy in so many different ways. You will always need to have the right stone for you at the time you feel you need to boost your energy levels. But saying that, I would always choose smokey quartz, fluorite or black tourmaline. But, as always, if you are drawn to use something else, please go with that.

So, how do you boost your energy with these three stones?

All you have to do is and place the grounding stone of your choice between your feet and place a single terminated quartz in the palm of each hand – points towards you. This will keep you safe and secure while the energy from your quartz crystals flows from your palm chakras into your physical body and, from there, it is distributed through the rest of your Four Body System.

The only other thing you have to do to enhance this process is to breathe deeply, visualising the energy from your quartz flowing through your body and out into your subtle bodies and you keep doing it until you feel refreshed and re-vitalised by the crystalline energy.

Then earth any excess energy that is in your system, letting it flow through your body so it can flow safely into the ground, thank your crystals and return your awareness to your surroundings.

Hope this helps!

Bright Blessings!
