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!

In these strange times when nothing is as it was, as you expect it to be, and nothing works the way it used to, why not start using malachite because it is such a good multi-tasking stone, and it will help you navigate the chaos in so many different ways. Some of them are listed below in no particular order.

I have numbered them so you can use the list intuitively. When you decide to work, pick up your piece of malachite and allow a number to pop into your head. Don’t think about it. Just expect a number to come to you and this will show you how you need to work with your crystal right at that moment.

1. It teaches you how to take responsibility for your actions, thoughts and feelings
2. It breaks unwanted ties to people, places and situations and helps with the releasing of outdated thought and behaviour patterns related to them
3. It balances mood swings
4. It attunes you to spiritual guidance
5. It helps you deal with change
6. It shows you what is blocking your spiritual growth, bringing to the surface all the things that the conscious mind is unaware of so you can deal with them.
7. It helps with depression and anxiety
8. It helps you overcome the fear of expressing yourself
9. It reveals the truth about yourself and will help you deal with what comes up when you meditate with the crystal about this.
10. It helps you resist the temptation to take on other people’s rubbish.
11. It helps you become more confident
12. It shows you your energetic and emotional boundaries and will help you to honour those boundaries for yourself and others.

Three useful places to use malachite are:

The solar plexus chakra – it will bring about deep emotional healing, releasing negative experiences and old traumas. It will literally pull the old, stagnant energy right out of the chakra. Ground firmly when you do this, though. It will also help you work with your will and your personal power in a balanced, empowering way.

The heart chakra – it brings balance and harmony to this chakra and opens you to the energy of unconditional love.

The brow chakra – it will activate the chakra, enhancing inner vision and your connection to your deep inner wisdom and intuition.

As Malachite is a stone of transformation, it is a really good crystal to have around you in these ever-changing times when your life can literally be transformed in less than a nanosecond!

But as always remember that when you work with your crystal you are co-creating your own special healing with it, so be open to it doing amazing things that aren’t on the list! It doesn’t show everything malachite can do if you open to letting it help you!

Journey well with this powerful crystal ally!

Bright blessings!

Illumination…

What kind do you need?

Light in the darkness?

or

Does your darkness need to be brought into the light?

Symbolically white moonstone represents the light in the darkness while black moonstone brings darkness into the light – so it might be worth taking a moment to two to consider which one you need right now to continue your journey towards wholeness.

It could be one or the other… or even, occasionally, both. You’ll know as soon as you start asking the question… as long as you are prepared to accept the answer, of course. But rest assured that it is always worth searching for the answer to this one, even if it means delving into the darkness you have inside you. It will undoubtedly be better when it’s gone. Or at the very least understood.

So do you need a little light at the end of your vey black tunnel as an encouragement to keep moving through it?

Or is it time for the darkness you have buried in your heart and in your mind to be brought to the surface so you can deal with it? Or at the very least you can face it and find the best way to deal with it.

White moonstone will help with this because it has a nurturing and supportive energy. It also helps you connect with your intuition, which is incredibly useful when you are doing something like this. So get a piece, sit with it, and attune to its energy, letting it soothe and balance you, taking you into a space where you can start the work you need to do.

But black moonstone is equally helpful and is so useful for anyone who is afraid of their darkness, or fearful of what they might discover if they look deeply inside themselves. It is good for people who have buried their darkness deep inside them, ignoring it so they can focus on finding the light instead. It is always nice to find ways to shine, but you need to remember that you can only use that as a denial mechanism for so long before you are forced to leave the light and stare with an open mind and an open heart into the dark. And black moonstone will help because not only does it allow you to see the darkness, it also brings the two parts of you – the light and the dark – into balance.

After all, without darkness how would you even see the light? You wouldn’t even know you had it!

So, have a feel around all this information and see if you need to go on an adventure and discover how much darkness and how much light you have inside you.

You will always have both and, if you need a little help along the way – the flashes of iridescence in rainbow moonstone will connect you to the flash of intuition need to help you decide the best way to move forward. It will help you see the next step you need to take on your spiritual journey.

And it is always worth remembering that moonstone is the stone of new beginnings, so what ever you find as you look within will take you somewhere … new! And it is perfect for this kind of work because it supports inner growth and provides strength while you do it. In fact, it is just perfect!

So go and find some and begin your journey right now!

Bright Blessings!

At the moment one of the best things you can do is to offer your physical body as much love and support as you possibly can. So below is a meditation which will allow you to do this, and it works really well for two important reasons:

• The frequency of the colour violet held inside the amethyst, depresses the motor functions of the brain just a little which is why it is one of the best meditation crystals. It won’t immobilize you, of course, but it will help you attain and maintain stillness, and this in turn will help your body rest and relax more easily.
• The sound will vibrate through your body, helping it rest and relax in a different way.

So, find an amethyst that wants to help you do all this, cleanse it, and just go for it!

Crystal and Sound Meditation

• Relax and focus on your breath, setting the intention that you want to breathe out anything that your body does not need any more. If you are aware of something specific like tension, pain, or stress, add this to your intention and it will enhance the result you get. Then just keep breathing out until you become aware of your body’s response. It will relax… if you let it.
• Now ground firmly and spend a few moments with your body, silently telling it you have put aside this time to offer what help and support you can with your crystal and your sound.
• Now before you start working, set the clear intention that you want to use the energy from your amethyst and the vibrations from your sound to clear any negativity you are ready and willing to release at this time.
• Now gaze at your amethyst, taking in every detail – its colour, its shape, the way the light affects it, the vibration that radiates from it in all directions. Become fully aware of it on every level and, when you are ready, close your eyes and see or sense it inside your head. The best place is right in the middle of your head between the two hemispheres of your brain.
• See or sense the crystal glowing, quietly radiating its calm energy outwards until it fills the whole of your head. Then let it flow down into the rest of your body. Let the lovely violet light fill every part of you and use your breath to release anything it has disrupted, so the negativity can flow gently out of your physical body, allowing it to relax even more.
• Now set the intention that you want the sound you are going to make for the next part of the exercise to resonate in the heart of your crystal in the centre of your head. The sound that is usually recommended is OM, but if you are drawn to something else or your body asks for something else, go with that. This is your co-creation with your sound, your crystal, and your body… no one else’s!
• Now take a breath and make your sound and allow yourself to become aware of the way it is resonating in the heart of your crystal. It is adding to the calming vibration that is already coming out of your crystal and when the crystal becomes full of your sound, a new combined frequency will start to flow out of it to fill your head and then it will flow down to fill the rest of your body. And all you have to do it keep toning the sound you have chosen to work and send it to the etheric crystal in the middle of your head until your body tells you to stop.
• Just sit in the sonic field you are creating and allow yourself to experience all the vibrations resonating inside it. See or sense the way they are helping your body, clearing it, soothing it, re-calibrating it and, be open to receive a message from your body at any time. It may want another sound after a while. Or it may want you to make the sound silently instead of out loud. Just go wherever the meditation takes you.
• If you are drawn to the space between your eyebrows and you feel the combined frequency of your sound and your crystal is opening the brow chakra, place your attention there because one of the gifts of amethyst is that it allows you to connect with your deep inner wisdom. If you feel drawn to do this, take this opportunity and rest your awareness in the chakra while you continue to make your sound. You may find you get an answer to a problem you have been trying to solve or you may find your awareness is drawn up to a higher aspect of yourself. If this part of you has a message for you, just listen with an open mind and an open heart and thank them for their help after you have received the information they have for you.
• When you eventually feel guided to stop, let your sound fade into silence, thank the etheric amethyst inside your head, thank the physical amethyst in front of you and, finally, earth any excess energy that is floating around your body, letting it flow through you, down your legs and into the earth.
• Now ground firmly and return your awareness to your surroundings.

I hope you and your crystal all have a grand adventure together and your body feels much better afterwards.

Bright blessings!

Keeping things simple is the best thing to do, especially when everything is complicated, and chaos seems to be lurking everywhere. So a quick and easy way to relax is to allow your crystals to help you.

Below is a simple layout and all you have to do is place the crystals, ask them to help you release any stress and tension that you are holding in any part of your Four Body System and you are good to go.

Usually about 15-20 minutes will be all you need, but feel free to lay down for longer if you need to. It will feel great!

You will need one amethyst, two green aventurines and two rose quartz.

Brow Chakra – amethyst

Heart Chakra – make a cross formation using your two Green aventurines and two rose quartz in the centre of your chest.

Your intention for your crystals is for the amethyst to calm your mind and your heart stones to calm and soothe your heart space. However, since rose quartz can be challenging sometimes, you can use any green or pink stones you are drawn to if you do not want to use it. A good alternative is unakite because it is pink and green and represents the heart chakra in balance. I always recommend it if someone wants to work with this energy centre.

But you will be co-creating your relaxing space with your crystals when you use this layout, so just trust you will know which ones to use and go for it.

Bright Blessings!
