Pink Tourmaline is an amazing crystal and shown below are seven things you can do with it.

Look at the list and see which meditation you are drawn to and run with it.

And, if you use the list again, you may be drawn back to the same thing or something else entirely.

Whatever you decide to do, pink tourmaline will always be beneficial!

1. Hold a piece at your heart chakra and breathe its pink vibration into your heart space with the intention of allowing the energy to show you what is blocking your heart, keeping it firmly closed. When you have found out what it is, breathe the energy in to clear this blockage, releasing the old stagnant energy on every out breath. When you feel it has all gone, ask the pink tourmaline to help you fully open your heart to love.
2. Hold a piece at your heart chakra in meditation and visualize a pink light radiating out from the stone. This pink energy field will get larger and larger until it surrounds you. Sit in this energy and set the intention that you want it to clear any old emotional energy anywhere in your chakras, your aura and your Four Body System. It will infuse everything with love and restore a real sense of wholeness.
3. Hold a piece at your heart chakra and breathe the pink energy into your heart space with the intention of allowing it to show you any old emotional patternsthat need to be acknowledged and cleared from your Four Body System, especially ones that are interfering with your spiritual growth. When you have found out what they are, breathe the crystal’s energy in again to clear the blockages, releasing the old stagnant energy on every out breath. When you feel it has all gone, breathe in the pink tourmaline’s energy to replace what has been released.
4. Hold a piece at your heart chakra and breathe the pink energy into your heart space with the intention of allowing it to help you discover what unconditional love means, especially to you, how it feels, and what you need to do to allow yourself to feel it and share it with those around you… on every level.
5. Hold a piece at your heart chakra and breathe the pink energy into your heart space with the intention of using it to integrate your lower chakras with your higher chakras. Once the heart chakra is full, set the intention for the energy to start flowing up and down your charka system, fully integrating both parts. All you have to do is leave it on the heart until you feel this process is complete.
6. Sit with a piece of pink tourmaline and set the intention that you want the energy that radiates out of the crystal to clear any blockages in your aura, as well as repair any leaks or tears in it. All you have to do is sit with the stone until you feel this process is complete.
7. If you feel your energy system is stuck, sit with a piece of pink tourmaline and set the intention that you want the energy that radiates out of the crystal to improve energy circulation throughout the Four Body System, the chakras and their associated layers in the aura. All you have to do is sit with the stone until you feel this process is complete.

I hope this lovely crystal helps you in many many ways!

Bright Blessings!

There is a lot going on, energetically speaking, at the moment, and navigating through the chaos is sometimes tricky, so here are four crystals to help you.

You can sit with them one after the other all at the same time. Or work with them separately, moving on to the next one when you are guided to do so.

They are all lovely to work with and hugely beneficial, so if you end up using one for a week, it will always be worth it! And you will feel better afterwards as well.

So, here they are!

Citrine – sit with the stone and ask it to dissolve any negativity in your chakras, aura, and your Four Body System. When you feel you have cleared everything you need to proceed, set the intention to breathe the energy into the crown chakra to open and align the energy centre with the higher transpersonal chakras making downloads of Source energy much easier.

Kyanite – hold the stone vertically and move your finger down the striations with the intention of aligning your chakras and your Four Body System. Allow this to happen and this will ensure incoming energy enters your central channel easily, allowing you to become a clear channel for Source energy. Connect to Source and sit quietly while the energy flows down and fills every part of you, coming in through the crown chakra. You can help this process by setting an intention for your breath. Draw the energy down into your central channel on your in breath and breathe it out of the central channel so it fills the whole of your Four Body System on your out breath.

Lapis Lazuli – the key words for this stone are self-knowledge. Sit with it and ask to see who you really are and what you are truly capable of during this strange time. It will allow you to learn all you need to know about yourself so you can make a clear and powerful choice about the next step on your journey. If you feel any resistance to what you discover, locate the feeling or blockage it in your Four Body System and place your lapis there with the intention of dissolving the negative energy.

Clear Quartz – the key words for this stone are clarity and power, so sit with it and ask to be infused with the vibration it emits, so you are in the right place and the right space at the end the eclipse season and are good to go! One easy way to absorb the energy is to place it on the palm chakra of your non-dominant hand and set the intention to breathe it in through the chakra, up your arm and from the shoulder it can spready through your whole body.

If you feel you need a little help moving from where you are to where you need to be, sit with labradorite because this stone is the stone of transition, so it will help you enormously. It is also the stone of magic and who doesn’t want that in their life?

Just breathe the energy in through your non-dominant hand as described above.

And don’t forget – this is your journey and the list of crystals is only a suggestion. You should make your own empowered choice.

By all means, work your way through the crystals on the list, but if you want to swap one crystal out for another you because you are drawn to – go for it.

Or if you feel you only need to use one… that will be what is right for you!

And, lastly, if you want to fill your Four Body System with a different energy – do it. Source energy is only one of a huge selection of you can choose from. It is the technique you need and, if you want something else, just change your intention. It will work just as well with Reiki or Mahatma or angelic light.

What ever you decide to do… journey well with all these crystal allies!

Bright Blessings!

All you need for this exercise is two cleansed clear quartz points.

Set your intention to use the energy of the quartz to clear out your body, removing any old, stagnant energy, so the space can be filled with the vibrant energy of your clear quartz.

If you are right-handed, place one under your left foot, point towards you, to draw energy in and place the other under your right foot, point away from you, to draw energy out through the foot chakra and push it away from you.

If you are left-handed, do it the other way round.

Ground firmly.

Now sit quietly and using your in breath, draw the energy of your quartz into your body through your left foot chakra and intend it goes all the way up the left side of your body, filling it completely. Then use your in breath to push the energy down the right side of your body so it can leave your body through the right foot and the point will direct it away from you.

Continue for ten minutes, imagining a continuous stream of energy going round your body clearing both sides and anything you no longer need can be released, pushed out by the flow of the clear quartz. Then thank your quartz and return your awareness to your surroundings.

This exercise is usually done with clear quartz, but you can do it with smoky quartz points for additional benefits. This variety of quartz allows you to attune to the light ensuring that you are not consumed by the darkness which seems to be everywhere at the moment. So while it flows through you, directed by your breath, just open to its energy and let it do lots of other stuff.

Smoky quartz relieves stress, fear and anger and helps with fatigue. It also helps you to understand exactly what needs to be released so you can move on, as well as clearing the mind of old, unwanted and unhelpful thoughts. It just dissolves them … if you let it of course because although the crystal can get rid of the thought, you can always think it again and your mind will fill with all the negative energy associated with it.

It also clears and activates the base and solar plexus chakras, which helps with all of the above.

So all you have to do is choose which quartz you want to work with and go for it, always remembering to thank your two crystals after they have done a sterling job on your behalf.

Bright Blessings!

I have been waiting for a sign that it was time to write about this particular archangel for ages and it has come today, so it means someone out there is in desperate need of connecting with Azreal – the Angel of Comfort. The angelic light he emits is a healing light and he uses it to comfort and guide people who are experiencing any kind of loss. So that just about covers everyone on the planet since we are all feeling a sense of loss about something in our lives.

Azrael is also known as the Angel of Death, but that doesn’t mean physical death … just the end of something that no longer suits you or is holding you back in some way. He brings an ending that allows you to move on to a new beginning, which is what we all need right now really. His job is to help us put our lives back together.

Another name associated with Azrael is The Angel of Transition because he helps us look at what is happening around us, to explore every aspect of it until we see what is really happening and we can gain insight into the whole experience. He allows us to see the real reasons for the changes occurring and how they apply to us. And he will also provide practical advice to help us move fearlessly forward into our new beginning.

Here are some of the many reasons you might want to spend some time with this archangel:

• When we are grieving for a person, a situation, an ending before we can even see or even imagine any kind of new beginning, he will fill the void in our hearts with a sense of compassion, reassurance, and comfort.
• His angelic light is filled with love, wisdom, and comfort. Who doesn’t need that?
• His aura is a creamy vanilla yellow and the energy it emits is full of kindness and comfort. All we have to do it sit with him, absorb it, and allow it to help us on every level – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
• He helps us accept change and ease through it, so he will be enormously useful at this time since change happens … well constantly at the moment!
• He helps us deal with stressful situations.
• He embodies comfort and patience, and we all need a bucketful of both those qualities quite a lot of the time, given what is happening at the moment.
• He helps with depression and other illnesses which affect our mental and emotional health.
• The chakra he resonates with the most is the heart chakra, and we all need help with that from time to time. He is ready and waiting to offer his assistance. We just have to ask for anything we might need to keep our hearts open.
• He helps us go with the flow instead of resisting it.

You can connect with Azrael in the same way you would any other angelic. He will be there waiting for you, and if you have suffered the loss of a loved one during the pandemic, rest assured that he will have been there at the end of their life, helping them transition to a new one because that is also part of his job. And he will be there for you to help you come to terms with what happened. All you have to do is ask him into your life.

Azrael is associated with three crystals – amethyst, yellow calcite, and purple fluorite. So you can simply sit with one of them and ask him to join you and just start your journey with him that way. Or if you feel you need a bit more than that – you can use an amethyst to heal your heart while he is with you, offering his love and support.

Amethyst Meditation

When used with conscious intent at the heart, amethyst acts like a hoover, pulling things out of your heart space, quickly and easily. It also does this miraculous cleansing without the need for you to connect with any of the emotional rubbish you have been collecting in there. You do not need to re-live the heartbreak or agonise over it. You’ve already done it once, so why would you ever want to do it again? Your lovely, powerful amethyst can just take it away, ensuring you never have to see it or deal with it again. You can of course, re-generate it, if you have more thoughts about the person or situation, but while the amethyst is working, you will be completely safe and if you don’t resist the removal process, you will be able to let everything go without re-experiencing the pain that caused the blockage. Just keep the whole of your attention focused on letting go and not what you are letting go of and all will be well!

• Ground firmly.
• Relax, focus on your breath and ask Azreal to join you at this point if you would like him to offer his support. Thank him for coming and take a moment to attune to his loving, comforting energy before you start working with the crystal.
• When you are ready, place a cleansed amethyst over your heart chakra and ask your stone to remove anything that you no longer need from your heart space, with ease and grace.
• Also set the very clear intention that you do not want to re-experience any of the negative energy associated with the blockages that will be removed during your healing session with your stone.
• Now just let your amethyst work and leave it on your heart chakra until you get the sense that it has removed everything you are ready to release at the time you are working with your stone.
• Now change your intention and take a moment to check in with your heart and see what it needs to fill the empty space left behind after the amethyst has pulled lots of rubbish out of it. You can either ask the amethyst to bless you with its lovely violet energy, or you can ask Azreal to fill your heart with his healing light… or you can choose any other energy you are familiar with. It doesn’t matter as long as the hole is filled with positive energy, replacing all the negative vibrations that have been in there.
• When you feel your heart if full of beautiful new vibrations, remove the amethyst sending thoughts of love and gratitude towards it for all the help it has given you.
• Now do the same for Azrael. Thank him for supporting you and if it feels appropriate, ask him if there is anything you need to know going forward that will ensure that your nicely cleansed heart space remains that way …. for as long as possible.
• Ground firmly and return your attention to the room and cleanse your amethyst.

Journey well with this archangel and I assure you, you will feel much better for it.

Bright Blessings!

During these strange times taking care of yourself should be your top priority.

It’s not being selfish. It’s being sensible. It’s being responsible. And to be perfectly honest, why on earth shouldn’t you be paying yourself the same kind attention as you are probably giving to everyone else.

A self-care routine is vital for your survival right now, so you need to start thinking about it and all the other things that are attached to the word self with a hyphen.

Self-love

Self-worth

Self-care

Self-expression

Self-compassion

Self-responsibility

You can use any extra word really, so take a minute and see if there are any different ones that you might need to add to your own list.

One of the alternatives that I think is particularly necessary at the moment is self-kindness.

So your thought for the day is:

What way you can exercise self-kindness today?

And, if you think you can’t do it, or worse than that – you shouldn’t do it, please ask yourself why and do something about it.

You really are worth it.

Time to start remembering that!

Bright Blessings!

Rhodochrosite

The best way to describe rhodochrosite is to say that it is the crystalline equivalent of rescue remedy. It helps with shock, trauma, and other unpleasant emotional states… as well as doing lots of other lovely things like all the crystal allies. But since we are in a strange, unfamiliar space most of the time at the moment and we are all feeling… well, way too much really and since most of it is constantly triggering fear and the fight or flight syndrome, this beautiful pink stone will be an extremely useful thing to have close to hand.

The first thing it does is calm you down when you sit with it and gradually it will remind you to breathe because when you are shocked or in distress the breathing process freezes on the in breath and it’s almost like you forget there is an out breath. So this stone will take you to a safe place, enabling you to start breathing properly again and this in turn will help you to relax.  And if you do this with conscious intent it will work more quickly and efficiently.

If rhodochrosite only did this, it would be a fabulous stone to carry with you at all times, but it does far more. It is one of the best stones for emotional healing and, in the same way that aquamarine emits the frequency of peace, this stone emits the frequency of love, though it will always push you towards loving yourself first before you start loving anyone else. After all, if you don’t know how to love yourself, how can you possibly love anyone else?

And the frequency it emits is so tender. It is just lovely and it soothes the heart, bringing an intense feeling of inner peace. And, isn’t that something we all need right now? So if you are feeling discombobulated on a daily basis, do use this stone to calm yourself and take yourself into a much nice place, and if you have any aquamarine, combine the two stones. You will be amazed at the difference it will make to you.

Mind you, like all crystals rhodochrosite is an holistic healer and it won’t just deal with any symptoms that are presenting themselves for your attention. It will always help you discover what is causing them and, since it is an emotional healing stone, it may well bring up things that you need to look at and release. But because of its beautiful energy it will hold you safely while you do this.

And if you want to enhance the clearing process while you are working with your trusty rhodochrosite, use a piece of lapis lazuli because this is the stone of self-discovery. It will be enormously useful, especially since it also dissolves negativity, so as soon as anything comes up you can ask the lapis to clear it out straight away.

Although rhodochrosite is a pink stone and most people use it only for the heart, it also works powerfully on the solar plexus, so feel free to use it on this chakra as well. If you have two pieces, it can be beneficial to do both chakras at the same time, but if you only have one… doing them separately is just fine.

I would also recommend the space between these two chakras. It will clear any blockages in this area, allowing the heart and the solar plexus to function better together. You need a clear and vibrant solar plexus to love fully because the heart chakra is the giving and receiving of love and how do you expect to do this if you have no power and no personal will to engage emotionally with anyone. You always need both of these chakras working and exchanging energy at all times and, don’t forget, the flow goes both ways. Once the heart is talking to the solar plexus in a more meaningful way, the love from the heart goes down and that means that when you exercise your personal will and use your power, it will be done in a gentle loving way.

Rhodochrosite is an astonishing stone when used during meditation, mainly because it will enable you to relax and it will expand your consciousness, allowing you to journey to many places … safely, too. And one of the best places to use the stone is at the brow chakra, especially if you want to journey to find out what is really troubling you. You can always move the stone to the heart or solar plexus during your quiet time if you are guided to do so. You’ll know when you are working with it. it will tell you… well, as long as you are listening!

Another place to work with the stone is in your non-dominant hand. This is the hand that receives energy more easily, so sit and using your breath and your intent, breathe its gentle vibration in through the palm chakra and up your arm to the shoulder. Then, on the out breath, push it out into the rest of the body.

You can also use rhodochrosite to make a deep and abiding connection to many of the gentle facets of the Divine Mother. It resonates with Mother Mary, Quan Yin, Isis and Mary Magdalene and, through working with them and your stone, you will enhance your compassion, your inner peace and your tolerance.

It will also enhance your connection to the higher aspects of yourself – your higher self or your soul, depending on which level you are currently at in your spiritual journey. And, this lovely stone will also bring more spiritual awareness into the physical body, so it can manifest on the earthplane.

And last, but certainly not least, it is associated with many angelics – the list is far too long to mention, but my recommendations – and please remember they are mine, so they don’t have to be yours!! – are: Haniel, Chamuel and Ariel. Just sit with the stone, allow yourself to relax, let your crystal fill you with its loving energy and ask the angelic to join you.

There is one other angelic on the list that I have never worked with personally, but as the name leapt out at me I will share it because of the situation we are all in at the moment. If you are worried about becoming ill, rhodochrosite also resonates with Mumiel who is the Angel of Health. Is that not just perfect?

The Universe always provides what we need… one way or another!

So go and get a piece of rhodochrosite and see how it can help you come back to yourself and keep you there, despite what is happening around us.

Bright Blessings!

As there are thirteen moons or lunations in a year, it makes the year 364 days… 13 x 28 = 364, not 365.

So the question becomes: what do you do about the extra day if you have a year that is lunar based, not solar?

Well, the Mayans decided to call 25^th July the Day Out of Time and used it to end their year and re-align their lunar year with the solar year.

And 25^th July is also the day that Sirius rises, so the energy of those three stars is also up front and personal as well, making it a very potent day, energetically speaking.

Over time – pardon the pun! – it has become a day free of time…. timelessness … a day of reverence, renewed appreciation of the Divine within us and it brings some free time to renew our connection with the earth, the natural world, and all aspects of our environment, to remember that we really should be respectful of all life forms on the planet, not just our own. We are not the most important life form on planet earth. We never have been. We are just one among so, so many and all of them are equally important living beings.

It is a reminder that although our bright shiny modern world runs on a calendar put together by the Roman church about two thousand years ago, it is always appropriate and important for us to remember there are cycles of natural time as well, not to mention eternal time. but that is a whole other subject…

July 25th is a day without time, and it is also the day that a time portal opens because the Mayans were (and still are) known as the Lords of Time. So meditating with this aspect of them is always an interesting experience!! They see time in a completely different way to all of us.

And this amazing Mayan portal runs until 8^th August when the next portal opens because this is a busy time of year! The next one is the Lion’s Gate, which is guarded by two lions – one holding the past and the other holding the future and when you intend to receive the download it the energy flows between them, manifesting in the present – very powerfully.

Everything is in flux from 25^th July to 8^th August and you need to be mindful of what you want to manifest when the perception of time returns to normal after the three-week window associated with the Lion’s Gate closes around August 29th.

And trust me when I say that normal is different for everyone now, so don’t be expecting your normal to be the same as anyone else’s!!! it won’t even be close!

Consensual reality is almost a thing of the past. Our reality is our own at the moment and the trick is finding people whose reality resonates at a frequency close to ours otherwise we have the frequency mismatch from hell to deal with! Trying to spend any amount of time with someone who views the world radically differently to us is not only hard to do, but it can also be quite painful too… in more ways than one!

So consider all this and run with what ever you are intuitively guided to do. There is no right and no wrong – there is only what feels absolutely right for you at this powerful time.

Lion is also a good ally to call in to help with everything that is going on, so feel free to do that and be grateful for any assistance or guidance they bring with them.

A lioness represents the need to build for tomorrow, so that is particularly helpful, and she always reminds us that what ever we do today will shape what happens in our future. It will be the groundwork that builds it… so she often asks us to look at exactly what we are doing, not to mention what we are actually building.

And together with all that, lion brings with him strength, assertiveness, and personal power, which will also help enormously. So ask them both to join you during the time portal and at the Lion’s Gate on 8^th August and you should be fine!

The downloads of incoming energy happen at 08.08 or 20.08. Please make sure you are ready to receive if you want to download them consciously and make sure you are really, really, seriously grounded!

You might also benefit from asking one of your helpers or guides to re-calibrate your energy system after the download process is complete, so you end up vibrating at a frequency which is perfect for you after your timely upgrade.

And another thing to remember is the fact that on 25^th July you really should be focussing on forgiveness, releasing what ever does not serve you any longer and peacefulness.

It is also the perfect time to revel in the freedom of being alive on the earthplane at this astonishing time, and the fact that from 25^th July you have a special opportunity to experience a feeling of… well…. timelessness…

And you won’t even need a TARDIS!

Bright Blessings!

Tree Agate

Growth and Renewal and Living in the NOW

Well, after a blog on a tree, I guess I really should have known that tree agate would start talking to me! I have a lovely piece on display in my work room and I use it to connect with the ancestors, but, like all crystals, it does do many other amazing things!

It is also known as dendritic agate and the dendrites are the inclusions you can see in the main body of the white stone and since they look a bit like foliage, the stone became known as tree agate.

It will be particularly useful for everyone at the moment because its energy brings many gifts with it, including stability and calmness and it makes you feel more peaceful by stabilising the energy in your emotional body.

Its gentle soothing energy also encourages self-love, which is always a good thing since we are all so very good at loving everyone else and we often forget we need to be loved too! So if that is a description of you, get some tree agate immediately!

It also calms the mind after a crisis … or any other kind of chaotic energy you might encounter in this mad, mad world we seem to be living in!

It strengthens the etheric body too and this in turn will stabilise the physical body, bringing many of the internal systems into balance. So the knock-on effect of this will, of course, enhance your health and well-being.

But the big thing this stone does is to allow you to attune to the earth, giving you a deep connection to its powerful healing vibrations and it does the same for everything in the natural world. You can connect far more easily too all sorts of things including all the lovely nature spirits. It is associated with dryads – the energetic beings who live in trees, as well.

The chakras associated with tree agate are the base and the heart. Its energy forms a connection between the two centres. They work well together because whenever the heart grows and expands, it is incredibly beneficial to the physical body. The change from fear to love in the heart chakra means the physical body can also change and become stronger and far more resilient. What better reminder that love is the greatest healing modality of all?

How to use tree agate.

To get the most from your co-creation of healing and wholeness with your trusty tree agate, daily meditation is often best, if your schedule allows this, of course. If not, just sitting with it for however long you can spare will always help. And twenty minutes is the preferred amount of time. But, again, if you only have five minutes … just go for it! Just because there is a set of instructions for working with this stone it does not mean you have to follow it. Use your own wisdom and intuition. It will always be best!

So, sit with your stone – for as long as you can – and just ask it to help you co-create the best healing experience for you at the time you decide to work with it. Hold it in the palm of your non-dominant hand and set the intention to breathe the energy in through to palm chakra, up your arm and from there let the energy flow into the whole of your physical body.  If you have two, use both hands and breathe in twice as much! And if you do this while sitting with a tree… well… I leave you to experience that wonderful thing on your own. No words could possibly describe it anyway!

You can also hold it at the base and the heart, intending to breathe its energy into the chakras to clear any blockages in them. Use your out breath to push it out of the charka system.

Another way to utilise the energy of tree agate and practise using your intuition is to sit quietly with your stone for a few minutes and ask it to allow a number between 1 and 25 to float into your consciousness. Then take a look and see what the list says. It is a fool proof way of taking your head out of the decision-making process when you want to do any kind of healing meditation. It stops you thinking about what you need and allows you to be drawn to what you actually need to work on when you journey with your lovely stone.

1. New Beginnings
2. Physical Healing
3. Emotional Healing
4. Mental Healing
5. Nurturing
6. Relaxation
7. Trust
8. Truth
9. Wisdom
10. Calmness
11. Patience
12. Growth and Expansion
13. Stress Relief
14. Grounding
15. Claiming Wholeness
16. Balance
17. Connection with the Ancestors
18. Inner Vision and Insight
19. Inspiration
20. Living in the Present Moment
21. Joy
22. Spiritual Awakening
23. Compassion
24. Self-discipline
25. Self-expression

So go and journey well with your tree agate and if you want to use an additional crystal smoky quartz works particularly well with this stone.

Tree agate is also very similar to moss agate and you can use both of them together too.

Bright Blessings!

Well, I think the best way to start a blog on sequoia trees is to say that Metatron says they have been on the planet for over 144 million years. And, if Metatron says it, it has to be true!

But doesn’t that thought just bend your brain right out of shape…?

144 million years!

And, thankfully, they are still here, still helping, still proving healing and energetic support, still holding ancient wisdom for us to tap in to…. despite the fact that most of the human race has been treating them absolutely appallingly for years and years. They could teach us so much about how to live on the planet and get along with the rest of the beings who share this lovely world with us, but hardly anyone takes the time to listen to them! How sad is that?

They are astonishingly powerful spiritual allies, and all you have to do is connect with them to benefit from everything they hold and willingly provide for our continued spiritual development at this time.

You don’t have to actually be standing next to one. You can intend to visit one of the trees or use a photograph of one. It’s the energetic connection that is important, not the physical one, though a physical one is completely amazing, so if you have a sequoia in a local garden near you…. just GO!!! Sitting under it or standing beside it can help you enormously … on multiple levels.

The energy this beautiful tree emits balances and energises your aura and the main chakra system. It also heals the body profoundly on a physical level and stabilises the mental and emotional bodies. So why not sit quietly and intend to make a connection with this tree ally and see what is does for you… it will all be good!

On a spiritual level the sequoia will bring clarity to the brow chakra and enhance your inner vision, allowing you to see thing a lot more clearly…. and don’t we all need a bit of that at the moment? There is just so much illusion out there anything that helps us see the truth, not to mention the heart of the matter, will be really helpful!

It also helps you prioritise things in your life and start to resolve issues that have been coming up for clearing while so many planets have been in retrograde. And it strengthens your resolve as well as enhances your will, which will make so many things so much better!

I could go on for ages because there is just SO much to say about this astonishing tree. If you feel you need more facts, just look them up. But really the only thing you need to do is connect with their energy. You will always feel better for doing it!

And please remember to always send love and gratitude to these magnificent beings if you work with them. They need it… in less than 200 years we have destroyed all by 77 ancient groves. How stupid and senseless are we when they are nothing but beneficial to us and everything else around them? They are conscious, intelligent beings, filled with the most loving energy, and they all have the most unique and exquisite energy fields, which they willingly share to help us heal and grow and expand.

Some of the sequoia trees are specialised conduits of Divine energy and if you find one of these… treasure it and their connection to Source. And the collective energy of a grove of these truly special, highly aware beings… well, quite simply, there is nothing like it. So if you get a chance to visit one… don’t think about it. Just do it! Or intend to connect during meditation.

If you feel you need something to help you make that connection, red and greens crystals will help because those are the two colours associated with the sequoia tree. So you can sit with jasper, mookaite or ruby in zoisite while you take your inner journey with this tree ally.

But please do make the time to make that journey. You will not regret it, not even for a second!

Bright Blessings!

The energy of the planet Mars is not always about war and warriors and fighting, though it can be.

It is also about the power of personal will and your intent to use it.

It is the energy that encourages you to act. Sometimes it can even compel you to act, to do something to bring about change in your life.

What you do with the energy is entirely up to you, but it will always want you to get out there and make things happen which is what makes it so perfect for these changing times when we should be busy laying the foundations for what is to come… for the new life we want to lead when the chaos finally stops and a staggering different “normal” arrives, so attuning to the vibration of this particular planet will help you enormously. It will help you make a choice, run with it and manifest it.

Because of the colour of Mars, red candles and red stones will help you connect to the planet, but you don’t need them. Your intention will be more than enough. It always is, whatever you. But the joy of working with a planet is the fact that have been aware of its frequency since the moment of your conception. It has always been there, high in the sky, whether you can see it or not, but you have not made the choice to make a conscious connection with it, or use it in any way, so why not do it now?

You can read lots of articles on Mars and what its energy means, how you ought to use it, what ritual you need to perform…the list is endless because everyone works with these things in different ways, ways appropriate to them. But at the end of the day, its energy is just like any other energy that you choose to work with. Your intention will bring it in to your system and allow you to use it in a specific way. So all I can really tell you is how it has worked for me and then you can have an exciting time discovering all the ways it can work for you. There is no wrong choice here – only your choice!

Some of the stones recommended are: agate, obsidian, red aventurine, bloodstone, carnelian, flint, garnet, hematite, red jasper, ruby, and sardonyx. How you use them with the Mars energy is up to you, but crystals will always help you focus your awareness when you meditate with them, so it is perfect for any work with an energy that is connected with your personal will and power. It makes connecting with them much easier. And the crystals can also cleanse you of any blockages connected with these two things before you start working with the energy of the planet, which will be immensely useful. And, if all else fails, just choose a crystal and ask it how it wants to help you with the work you want to do.

To connect with the energy of Mars – ground firmly, take your awareness to your crown chakra and intend to connect with the vibration coming from the planet. When you start to sense the vibration, use your breath to draw it in through the crown chakra, pulling it in to the central channel and down to the base chakra. Then on your out breath, push it all the way down to the earthstar chakra six inches below your feet. Do this for as long as you need to.

Another thing you can do is use your breath to draw it directly into the base chakra. The energy of Mars is also linked to survival and since this quality is held in the base chakra the vibration from the planet will strengthen it and this in turn will help your body. I have used it this way for people who are struggling with anything from tiredness to complete exhaustion and filling the base chakra has, without exception, helped them. In different ways, of course, but it has always been beneficial.

Lastly, another way to utilise this vibration is to just fill yourself up with the energy of Mars. Draw it in to your central channel on your in breath and on your out breath push it out to fill your body and then you can sit in its strong, vibrant vibration and connect to any higher aspect of yourself you are guided to work with, asking them to show you how you should be using your personal will and your personal power. Just let the information come to you in the most appropriate way and meditate on it while you are sitting in the energy of this extremely helpful planet.

It may seem a bit odd to work with this kind of energy at first, but once you get over the weirdness and focus your intent on the planet’s powerful vibration, you’ll love it! And you will start to look forward to using it to create positive and powerful changes in your life.

And if you do decide to run with this last exercise, don’t forget that you can also use the energy in your solar plexus which holds everything connected to your power and will and the ways you will or will not use them. So just fill your body as shown above and then change the intention for your breath work and draw it into the chakra on your in breath and use your out breath to forcefully push out anything that is limiting or restricting your will or your power or even both. And keep doing it until you start to feel your solar plexus clearing and expanding and your power growing.

And, if you do work with the energy of Mars, I trust you will find it as useful as I have always done.

And don’t forget one of the most obvious ways to connect with the planet … look at it. Check on Google where it is in the sky and look up. Or you can simply look at a picture. It will be like opening a door to the energy with your eyes!

Bright Blessings!
