As the energy which comes through the portal on 8/8 is about embodying all you can be in this lifetime and manifesting it on the earthplane, pyrite is one of the best crystals to use in preparation for the download and the light codes embedded inside it.

Some keywords associated with pyrite are: personal power, will power, self-confidence and passion. Just carrying a piece will allow the energy of all these qualities to resonate within the whole of your Four Body System but meditating with them, using conscious intent , will enhance this process. It is particularly helpful if you want to improve your self-confidence and personal power.

Using Pyrite on the chakras – it helps the solar plexus and the sacral centres, unblocking them, activating them and bringing a sense of balance after you have used them. You feel empowered after using it on the solar plexus chakra and more contented and fulfilled after using it on the sacral chakra

Solar Plexus Chakra – personal power, will power and self-confidence. When used regularly here you will start to become pyrite will encourage you to take better care of yourself and as your attitude to yourself starts to change you will be unafraid to claim your personal power and your will power and use it in many exciting new ways.

If your energy levels have been low – using sunstone with pyrite on the solar plexus will help re-energise and re-vitalise you on all levels because both hold the elemental energy of fire. This is the element which the solar plexus chakra holds in your energy system, and it gifts you with illuminations, passion and the ability to act.

Sacral Chakra – to ignite your creative spark and your passion and when used regularly here you will start to become unafraid to express and experience a pleasure.

All you have to do to work with the energy of pyrite is ground and place the stone on the chakra of your choice, decide what you would like to do while you are co-creating a change with it and set the clear intention on the in breath to breathe the energy into the chakra and on the out breath to release what ever is blocking you. Then when you have finished – thank your pyrtite, ground and return your awareness to your surroundings

You can also use affirmations while meditating with pyrite. A few are listed below but if none of them resonate with you … make up one of your won. Using someone else’s words is never a substitute for using your own. They will hold more meaning and, more importantly, a lot more power!

• I have the power and the ability to manifest anything in my life
• I am pleased in every aspect of my life.
• I am joyful just being myself
• I am filled with creative energy
• I create freely as I imagine

So if you get the chance, do use pyrite before 8/8 with the intention of clearing any blockages that will block the download and then you will be good to go when it happens on Monday!

Bright blessings.

8/8/22

The Lion’s Gate Portal is activated by the numerology of 8/8, the Sun in Leo Season, and the rising of Sirius. This combination of energy opens a galactic portal that allows high vibrational energy, infused with the energy of Sirius, to flow onto the earthplane, allowing us to connect with it.

It downloads at 08.08 a.m. and 20.08 p.m.

You can do one download or both, but they are the same.

8 is also associated with DNA activation, abundance, power, and higher realms of consciousness, so 8/8 is an extremely potent time to clear your Four Body System so we are ready to receive the energy and the light codes contained within it.

The opening of the Lionsgate Portal can bring awakenings and lift your consciousness to a much higher level.

Also the number 8 represents infinity, and this means it also represents unlimited potential, so all you have to do before the downloads is decide what you want to do with it. Then once you have opened your energy system to allow the portal energy in (after grounding very firmly indeed!) you need to focus on the unlimited potential for success that 8 symbolises and set a clear intention so you get what you need at this time.

The incoming energy does many things, depending on your personal level of development and the light codes you receive. But the three things that are always highlighted are:

• Heart Healing – the download will bring up any pain or woundings in the heart for clearance.

• Stimulation of Higher Charkas – this will help you to tap into higher spiritual knowledge after the downloaded energy has integrated and you have recalibrated your energy system

• Activates the brow chakra on a higher level – this will change you in many unpredictable ways. All you have to do is trust you are ready to deal with them.

A stone to help you during the download is pyrite. It will do three particularly useful things for you:

• During the portal download it will allow you to draw the high-frequency energy into your body more easily and help you utilise it afterwards.

• At the end of the portal download holding pyrite will bring the energy fully into the physical realm.

• Sitting with the stone after the download will enable you to move forward on your spiritual journey and create a new and more meaningful life. It will deepen your connection to your authentic self and help you embrace your innate gifts and talents, not to mention help you reach your full potential in this lifetime.

One piece of pyrite will work nicely, but if you can hold a piece in each hand it will be better!

Bright Blessings

The most fabulous thing about this mantra is that when you do it, when you really focus on the sound you are making and the sonic field you are creating with your sound something amazing happens. Your thoughts stop and, as you continue, your mind will eventually empty. It is a very fast way to achieve stillness and peacefulness … and even, if you persevere, a state of thoughtlessness.

So why not give it a go?

Wahe Guru

Pronounced: Whaa Hay Gu Roo.

Whaa – lnfinity

Hay – The presence of the finite in infinity

Gu – Darkness

Ru – Light

Sit with your spine straight and place your hands in your lap palms up, with the right hand resting in the left. It does not matter whether or not the thumbs touch.

Wahe also means wow or ecstasy, a beautiful exclamation of the sheer joy of existence.

Guru also means the force that brings you out of the darkness into the light. It transforms dark into light, and we could all use a bit of that at the moment.

Lastly, the word guru is a familiar one. It describes someone who is a master, a person who is wise and compassionate and spiritual, and the vibration created when you use the word awakens this in you because it is contained within the vibration of the word. And as you say it or chant it, the energy you create will connect you to the wise teacher inside you, which is, of course, massively beneficial to you. Some consider the guru to be the higher self or the soul, but it does not matter what definition you use – it is still the most fabulous part of you!!

And another way of looking at what the mantra means is to think of the words Wahe Guru as a way of expressing the wonderful feeling you have when you make a true and profound connection with your soul, your true essence, your authentic self.  And as you chant them the vibration holds all this, making it easier to come into resonance with this wonderful part of you. Some people even say it will trigger your destiny!

The mantra will also:

• Give you the experience of infinity
• Connect you with the energy of the Divine – whatever you perceive it to be
• Allows you to see the Divine in everything on the earthplane
• Allow you to lose your sense of self and become one – it connects you to unity consciousness
• Allows you to express the indescribable experience of going from darkness to light or if you look at it another way – from ignorance to true understanding

You can repeat the mantra silently or chant it out loud, but your focus for the sound, the place where you want it to go when you make it, is between your eyebrows and the brow chakra. And you begin with three minutes and gradually increase to eleven minutes.

And, as if all of the above isn’t enough… the mantra can also be used to dissolve anger and alter your emotional state to a more positive one. When you chant it and your tongue hits your upper palate, it stimulates the meridian point connected to the thalamus, so it will calm you down.

If you are not comfortable making sound on your own and you want to chant with someone, I recommend a youtube version of the mantra by Mantra Girl (who is astonishing). The page reference is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0Ye00p0nVY

May the sound you make bless you!

Summer Solstice is the day the sun is at the height of its power and the fire element is easily available. To harness this, one of the best ways is to sit with a crystal that is associated with the fire element.

It doesn’t really matter which one you use.  Any of them will work and all of them are fabulous! And, if you have more than one in your collection, lay them all out and see which one your eyes are drawn to. that will always be the one you need to use. If you want a recommendation, though, my favourite is carnelian.

• Fire agate
• Carnellian
• Peridot
• Citrine
• Red garnet
• Fire opal
• Ruby
• Sunstone

I usually just sit with the crystal and see where the energy of the stone takes me. but if you have a specific thing you want to use the fire element to help you transform, set a very clear intention, and see where you go when you journey with your stone.

One last thing – if you feel a little unsettled by the intensity of the Solstice this year, don’t worry. You can use a sunstone and a moonstone to balance yourself. Just hold the sunstone in your dominant hand and the moonstone in your non-dominant hand and intend to let the crystals work to re-balance after the enormous influx of powerful energies.

Or, if you prefer, use a grounding stone between your feet to encourage the excess energy to move out of your body and into the ground through your feet. Any one you are drawn to will do.

Another stone you can use to help if you feel you have a lot of excess energy is hematite because it regulates your energy. If you place one stone under each foot, if you have too much energy, it will pull it out and send it safely into the ground, and if you don’t have enough for some reason, it will draw earth energy up into your system to re-balance you.

All you have to do is hold a clear intention when you use the stone and ask it to do what ever is needed to bring your energy back to what ever is normal for you! It’s always different with everyone!

Have a blessed day tomorrow.

As we are fast approaching Summer Solstice, it is time to give some thought what you want and where you want to be after the big shift on 21^st June.

One of the best ways to do this is to spend some time meditating with moonstone. Not only is it a stone of new beginnings, like all crystals, it does all sorts of other things which will be particularly helpful as the wheel of the year turns at this high point.

A moonstone is a reflection of the person who uses it, showing them what IS. It shows you … you. Not what you can be, might be… or what you want to be. It just reflects you back to you, so you can take a good long look and decide what you need to do next.

It also brings flashes of insight, which is always incredibly useful if you are going through an energetic shift.

And it brings spiritual support to sustain you through any changes that occur. Or changes that you know you need to make in your life as you move forward.

But the most important thing is when you sit and meditate with moonstone, it will show you the difference between what you want and what you actually need.

So all in all, at this time of year, moonstone is the perfect partner to co-create your next step as we move forward after the Solstice.

One of the other things moonstone does it is bring emotional balance when you use it, so this helps enormously when you want to take a good long look at your life. You can do it in the right emotional space and, if you place your moonstone on your heart and your brow, this will enhance the balancing process. It will also link your heart and your mind, allowing them to work together rather than separately. Or worse still fighting against each other.

One last thing – while you are sitting with your moonstone, if you discover any negative emotional patterns are stuck in either the sacral chakra or the solar plexus chakra, place your stone on these chakras (one at a time) with a clear intention that you want this energy to be dissolved by the energy in your crystal. All you have to do is sit quietly while this happens.

I hope this helps and you find the perfect energetic space to inhabit after the Summer Solstice.

Bright Blessings!

On 4^th June Saturn goes retrograde. This is important because of the energy that this huge, magnificent planet holds for us and how it can be used to make your life better in so many ways. It will make all sorts of things rise to the surface to be dealt with and, although some of it can be uncomfortable, it will give you an enormous opportunity to clear so much rubbish from your Four Body System.

Saturn rules the past, restrictions, limitations and fear and, when it goes into retrograde, it will make karmic ties, past patterns and soul contracts up front and personal, and this is what allows you to clear them, if you are willing to do the work. It will also highlight things from way back in your past, including past lives, but it is usually focused on family and ancestral energy and the issues that can arise from these two things – wounds and old and inappropriate thought and behaviour patterns that are not always your own.

All this type of energy is stored in the Earthstar Chakra (six inches below your feet) and, since Saturn is the planet associated with this chakra, this is why all these things come up. All family and ancestral history, together with karma you have not dealt with live in this part of your energy system. So this is the perfect time to start clearing it all out because the Earthstar is very important to your journey in this lifetime. Before you incarnate, your soul decides what your soul purpose is going to be, and this information is stored in this chakra. But you need to clear out all the rubbish to get to it!

One of the easiest ways to do this kind of work is to use the energy of Saturn and the Earthstar Chakra together. If you tune in to Saturn and the Earthstar Chakra with the intention of releasing everything you no longer need, or anything that is blocking you from reaching your full potential int his lifetime, the results are often quite astonishing and all you have to do is sit quietly until you are shown the best way to release all the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages you have been holding on to,… sometimes for lifetimes. You don’t need all that old, stagnant energy, especially if it does not belong to you and is linked to your family or your ancestral line.

There are many meditations you can do to do this clearing work and below is a few of them. But if you are drawn to do something else… just go for it. It is your intention that will get you to where you need to go.

Meditation One

Connect to Saturn and send your awareness down into your Earthstar Chakra with the intention of allowing what you need to become aware of to come into your mind while you are quiet and still and centred deep within yourself. Then as things start to fill your mind, all you have to do is forgive. And you have to forgive everything that you are made aware of during you meditation whether it’s a situation, something you have done, something someone else has done. You just forgive and keep forgiving, and if you become aware of a person, whether you recognise them or not – just keep saying:

I love you.

I forgive you.

I release you.

And, in doing this, you will clear the blockages from yourself, your ancestors and, best of all, all the descendants in your ancestral line. It is a great blessing to so many when you do work like this, and it is supported by the energy of Saturn.

Meditation Two

Direct the energy of Saturn into the Earthstar chakra with the intention of making your karmic lessons clear to you before you attempt to cleanse them from the chakra, so you can fully understand and appreciate what you have done, or what someone else has done. You need to see the way cause and effect has been at work in your life (past or present) so you can stop it happening again.

Meditation Three

Direct the energy of Saturn into the Earthstar chakra with the intention of clearing out any karmic debris, along with the dysfunctional energy from past patterns you or people in your ancestral line have generated over the years. And, once it has all gone, it will allow your soul to end many destructive karmic cycles that have been active over many lifetimes and transcend them as well. It will also help you to connect on a much deeper level to your soul purpose in this lifetime.

Meditation Four

Sit the energy of Saturn and ask to be made aware of any troublesome patterns that are manifesting in your life and ask for help in understanding them, so you can clear them from your Four Body System. It will always help if you understand all the current challenges in your life in a whole new way.

Meditation Five

Sit the energy of Saturn and use it, on an energetic level, to bring order and stability to your life, especially if it seems to be a bit chaotic. You can also ask to be shown why your life seems to be in chaos. This is so useful because if you understand the patterns that are at work, it gives you the ability change them, or even stop them completely. The answers you want may not come during your meditation, but they will come, and you will learn how to sort everything out. But they may come straight out of left field, so be ready to accept the information however it finally reaches you. Sometimes it comes from seemingly random or unexpected messages. Just tune into your intuition and keep listening with an open mind and an open heart.

So as you can see, there are many ways to use the energy of Saturn. Just pick the one that resonates with you.

And, if you like mediating with crystals and want to use them to enhance any work you do, the ones that resonate with Saturn are: Apache Tear, Black Coral Diamond, Garnet, Hematite, Howlite, Brown Jasper, Jet, Obsidian, Onyx, Blue Tiger’s Eye, Black Tourmaline.

Crystals that resonate with the Earthstar Charka are: Hematite, Black Tourmaline, Black Kyanite, Black Obsidian, Chiastolite, Smokey Quartz, Garnet, Ruby, Petrified Wood, Picture Jasper, Shungite, Fire Agate, Black Onyx, Lodestone.

Journey well with the energy what ever you decide to do!

Bright Blessings!

Although candles are obviously connected to the fire element because they have a flame, they are also linked to air because without air the flame just won’t burn! And you can use your breath in a candle ritual to release what no longer serves your highest and greatest good.

It is quick. It is easy, but you must have a very clear intention to ensure the release process  works properly, so really think about what you want to release before you light your candle, taking the time you need to find the right words. Without them, you will not get what you want … or even need …. out of this simple ritual.

Your focused intent is the most important thing, and it will help you the most!

And you use air rather than fire because the element of air is connected to the mind and your thoughts and the intellect and, most of the time, those are the three areas that usually cause the most trouble when we are doing our best to reconnect with our Authentic Self. It is  always our negative thoughts that sabotage what we are doing, so the energy of air will be hugely beneficial if you want to get rid of them. It will liberate us and free us from so many things that have been or are holding us back.

All you have to do is image that feeling a taking a long deep breath after you have only taken short, restricted ones… that is the power of air. It makes you free and clears everything out of your head, so your mind can become a lot more flexible.

Air is also associated with inspiration and imagination, so make sure you use these qualities in your ritual and after you have let go of everything, they will help you think of things to fill the spaces you have created by blowing your candle out.

It is also connected to ideas and knowledge, dreams and wishes, and it contains the energy of new life, new possibilities and new beginnings… just what you want really!

So, on to the ritual ~ and all you need is a candle and a match to light it! The real power is the thoughts you have before you do that, though. So think about what you want to do, to achieve, to release and mindfully intend to do all of that as you light your candle. Then blow it out with the very important thought that your breath is also blowing all the old, stagnant energy out of your body, your energy system, your energy field and, of course, your life.

This works really well because the blowing out of a candle represents an ending, a resolution, even, symbolically, a death and it is just the sort of energy you need to complete your release process.

When you have blown out your candle, you may feel you have finished what you need to do and are ready to move on to something new. But if you get the impression there is still more stuff to get rid of, just keep doing it until you feel completely and utterly cleansed on a very deep level.

Another thing you can do after you have let go of all your old, yucky energy is get another candle and mindfully light it.

This is a lovely way of showing that you are ready to light up your future and it will encourage your new beginnings to manifest in your life. It will also bring light into your world and add the energy of fire to all your new intentions, which, of course,  is the energy of transformation!

And the invitation you make just by lighting your candle will bring all this into your life instantaneously which will be just what you need.

And you will know exactly what words you need for your invitation if you sit quietly before you start.

And please make sure they are your own words and that you resonate with every single one of them. After all, this is your new beginning, not anyone else’s!

So go and find a couple of candles and give it a go. It will, quite literally, change your life!

Bright Blessings!

As we are all so full of rubbish at the moment – our own and stuff acquired from everyone else… and, indeed, everywhere else – it is important to get rid of it and exchange it for vibrational frequencies that are much better suited to who you are and what you want to do.

So, you might like to try one of these exercises or both of them.

Exercise 1

• Stand or sit with your feet firmly on the ground with a clear intention of what you want to do which is to release any energy you no longer want or need.
• Let you hand hang at your sides with your fingers pointing down towards the ground.
• Using your breath, pull all the unwanted energy to your shoulders from wherever it is located in your physical body and on your out breath push it down your arms and out through your fingers and let it flow down into the ground.
• Repeat until you get the sense that everything you need to release has gone.
• Now imagine your fingers getting longer and longer until they reach the ground and sink into it, resting quietly and gently in the energy of the earth.
• Then when you feel ready, using your in breath to draw energy up from the earth through your fingers to your shoulders and your out breath to push it from there out into the rest of your physical body.
• Do this until you feel all the empty spaces left by the release process have been filled with the earth energy you are absorbing through your extended fingers.
• Lastly, when you are finished, visualise your fingers returning to their normal size and return your awareness fully to your surroundings.

Exercise 2

To help your physical body absorb more nurturing and nourishing earth energy, you need to make sure you clear the base chakra on a regular basis. This is a quick and easy way to do it. It is very effective too!

• Ground firmly with the intention that any energy the base chakra releases goes straight down your legs to the feet chakra and discharges safely into the earth.
• Place your left hand – palm facing towards your body – about four inches away from your pubic bone and make small circles from left to right x 8
• Now change hands using your right hand and make small circles x 8 from right to left.
• You should feel your base chakra is spinning more freely and working more efficiently now and you do not need to do anything else. All the chakras work automatically and behave like self-regulating pumps to maintain your chakra system and the seven associated layers of the auric sheath, but if you feel drawn to pulling up any earth energy into the base chakra, feel free. It’s your energy system! Just set the intention to do this and let it flow in through the feet chakras, up the legs and into the base chakra. Or you can use your breath and pull it up on your in breath.

I hope you find these exercises useful! They will both help to keep your energy system functioning at optimum and your chakra system will be full of vital and nourishing energy, which will benefit you in many other ways.

Bright Blessings!

After the full moon and its energy of closure we have a pause before the new moon and its energy of new beginnings, so between now and the new moon it is a good time to look at what you want to get rid of in your life.

So, with all that in mind, here is something you can do if you want to take letting go a little more seriously.

Choose a clear quartz point to help you, but please remember to ask if it wants to do this. If you sit with it and get the impression it doesn’t, please honour that and choose another piece to work with.

Then programme it to absorb what is written on the piece of paper (explained below) store it, amplify it and then transmit it out into your environment for seven days. If you haven’t done this before just think that particular thought very clearly and direct it at the crystal.

Self-Help with a Clear Quartz

• Write down three things that you really want gone from your life… whether it is something you need to release or something you need to step away from.
• Then write down three things you can do to achieve your goal of getting rid of these situations, people, thoughts, feelings, or even a troubling memory. And make sure you can really do them rather than writing down something you cannot achieve and setting yourself up for a nice bit of self-sabotage!
• Then programme your clear quartz (as above) it and ask it to take radiate the best energy to manifest everything you have written on your list. Place it on the paper and leave it there for seven days.
• During the seven days go back and look at your list, re-affirming that you want to achieve everything on it.
• At the end of seven days, thank your crystal, clean your instructions out of it and put your list in a drawer somewhere. If you look at it in a couple of months you will be amazed at what you have done!

Hope this small, simple exercise helps you in fabulous, unexpected ways!

Bright Blessings!

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

I have no idea where this came from, but I keep it on a document that I open every day at work to remind me about it… and the benefit of receiving the many different blessings from Brigid’s flame.

You can, of course, connect with Brigid and ask her to put the energy of her flame anywhere, but these three places are always the best.

· The head  – brow chakra – for inspiration and help connecting with your inner wisdom and your intuition.

·The cauldron – sacral chakra – for creativity and to help you learn to love yourself

·The heart – heart chakra – for healing on a very deep level.

Brigid also has a lovely cloak and, if you ask, she will place it around you. It is for protection, but I never ask for that. I just rest within the energy, held safely and securely and it just feels lovely.

And, lastly, there is Brigid’s well… deep and profound healing occurs here. Just visualise it and either drink from it or immerse yourself fully in the water, staying there as long as you like.

But, what ever you do, always send love and gratitude to Brigid for all her help.

Bright Blessings!
