If you can’t tell what is real and what is not anymore, it may be time to have a chat with Archangel Jophiel who personifies wisdom and enlightenment. And, once you start resonating with those two qualities, spotting what is real and what is an illusion always becomes a whole lot easier.

As we move towards the end of what has been a bizarre year for most of us, we are still being forced to look at our lives and see what helps us express our Authentic Self on all levels and what does not. And, I have to say, the best angelic to support us on this often painful journey is Jophiel.

If you sit quietly and meditate with him, he will help you overcome the need to create a world of illusion. He will help you create a world that is real and true and one that resonates with the new Authentic Self that you have been busy re-connecting with all year. And in the stillness that follows any meditation with him you will find all the answers you need to move forward into 2021…. hopefully with ease and grace. Or at least a lot more ease and grace than this year!

Jophiel’s angelic ray is yellow and it is the Ray of Illumination, so the easiest thing to do when you work with him is ask him to send the yellow light to your crown chakra and then you can use your breath to move it into your energy system. On your in breath set the intention to draw it down into your central channel, filling it completely, and then you have several options for your out breath:

• Push it out through the chakras, cleaning them and placing the vibration of illumination in all of them. It will make it very easy to tune in to what you have inside each centre and see whether or not the thought or behaviour patterns are still working for you.
• Push it out to fill the physical and etheric bodies and then it will flow out into the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Again, it will make it very easy to tune in to what you have inside each subtle body and see whether or not anything needs to be removed like crystallised thought forms or stagnant emotional energy.
• Then all you have to do is ask Jophiel to show you the best way to deal with anything you need to purge from your system.

The other thing you can do while you sit with Jophiel is ask him questions:

• Ask him to show you what illusions you are creating in your life and how you are reacting to them
• Ask him to show you how to see through these thought and behaviour patterns because they will be the main things that causing the illusions in your life. Once you discover what is behind them, and what created them, you can start to identify what keeps triggering them in your life.
• Ask him to show you the best way to deal with the problems your self-created illusions are causing in your life. so you can move on

One of the other things Jophiel brings when you work with him is the Sword of Wisdom, so rather than just using energy to clear stuff out of your stystem, this symbol will allow you to work with an image. Some people find this easier, so if you do feel free to run with this.

Jophiel is often depicted with his flaming sword. He uses it to guard the Tree of Life, but he is more than happy to use it to help you as well! It symbolises his ability to cut through the illusions you have created in your life, mainly through your thoughts and sometimes your feelings, and the flames that clinging to the sword will illuminate them and help you to deal with them. Or you can, of course, just ask him to use the sword to literally cut through them, severing your attachment to them. However, if you choose the severing option, do remember that unless you work with Jophiel on tracing what caused all the troublesome thoughts and feelings, you could well re-create them. Just disengaging from them never works.

One last thing you can do with Jophiel and his yellow ray is to fill your crown chakra with this high frequency energy and, while it is there, ask Jophiel to show you the truth about the phrase that resonates with this chakra.

It is: I AM

The energy in your crown chakra is just that I AM … not: I am parent, I am friend, I am healer… there are no labels here. Just the energy of the real you, the version of you which holds your true potential. It is not limited in any way by the energy of the label you have taken on… or sometimes taken as your whole reality.

You are just I AM and, when you embody this phrase in this chakra, it means you have the freedom to become all you were truly meant to be in this lifetime. You can become parent, friend, healer by moving into that particular vibrational state when you need to, but when you embody I AM in your crown chakra, you learn how to step out of all these personas and return to the being your true self. It always worth spending some time working on this.

But once you start working with Jophiel it will become clear what you need to do with him. He is, after all, gifting you with wisdom and clarity and illumination and quite often innovation. So as long as you do not resist seeing what you need to do to change your life… you will see it all really, really clearly and this will enable you to work really, really efficiently and clear all the blockages that have been hanging around inside you for years…sometimes even lifetimes.

Just trust yourself when you start sitting with this lovely angel and he can help you do so much!

Bright Blessings!

Archangel Suriel

Qualities: Healing and Transition

Crystal: Ametrine

Other angelics that Suriel works with:

Raphael when there is a lot of physical healing work to be done as well as the internal work. Also he works with Uriel, Metatron, Ariel and Saraquel, so feel free to call on any of these angels when you start a healing journey with him.

The healing Suriel brings usually happens on three distinct levels and you have to complete one before you can move on to another. He works this way because although he is an Angel of Healing one of his other titles is The Angel of Death.

But please: DON’T PANIC!

This doesn’t mean Suriel only comes when you are dying. The death he is associated with is more of an ending … a releasing… a final letting go of everything that is holding you back. Death is after all only about transition, release and healing at very deep levels of conscious awareness and this can only happen when you take a long, hard look at yourself and all the things on your life, so you can decide what you have to get rid of.

You will find that it is always your self-limiting beliefs – all of them. The things you believe about yourself, your gifts, your talents, the people around you, your journey through life, the world you inhabit. And, since all limitations are always… and I really do mean always … self-inflicted, the only person who can do anything them is you. And the other thing you have to remember is although people say you need to get rid of these thoughts and behaviour patterns, you can’t. You have to work at changing them into something more positive and beneficial.

When you start working with Suriel with a very clear conscious intent – the first level of your journey with him is learning to accept who you truly are and what you can do in this lifetime, letting go of the excuses, the misconceptions, the fear… and everything else you tell yourself to keep yourself small and unnoticed because sticking your head above the parapets is after all a darn scary thing to do. But since living your life in fear is no way to live at all, why not start asking Suriel to help you find another way to embrace… well life, the universe and everything.

Then you can move on to the second level of your healing process because until you know who you are you can’t possibly take a look at your life and see what else you are carrying, what burdens are dragging you down that are not even yours … all those things that have been said you to so many times that you have just taken on someone else’s truth and reality as your own. And, then even more foolishly, you have started to run with it… and just kept running with it without ever questioning it. It has been yours for so long you simply cannot even contemplate living without it.

It’s is things like hearing someone say you are….

Please feel free to insert your own word if you have one. But for this blog I’m just going to use the word stupid because like any horrible, thoughtless comment, if it is said enough times, you will start believing it and you will never push yourself out of that nice comfort zone. You will believe you are stupid and that will be that. You won’t be bothered by any other pesky, challenging thoughts like – is that true and can I not be stupid today? Can I be something else entirely?

But here’s another thought to contemplate… what if the person who is telling you are stupid is wrong? In fact, they probably are, so you really need to start questioning what other people say about you and change your thoughts about yourself! It is only their opinion of you. It doesn’t have to be yours! You need to be looking at yourself and believe what is true for you, not someone else. You need to see how wonderful you are and Suriel is the best angelic to help you do this.

So what you really have to ask yourself at this stage is: do you have someone else’s thoughts repeating inside your head making you feel as if you are not good enough compared to everyone else? And if you do, it is time to get rid of them and start thinking new thoughts about yourself!

There is a wonderful quote from Louise Hay that says: “You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”

It’s a radical thought – but a good one. So, why not try thinking it for a while! And when you finally accept that this is something that you can do, it will be time to move on to the third level of your journey with Suriel.

This will begin when you have cleared out all the rubbish you have been dragging along behind you like the proverbial ball and chain. And you will probably be filled with a great sense of relief until you realise what is coming next! Most people think it is a biggie and something they will find difficult to do. But once you get to this point – what have you got to lose? You might as well give it a go!

It is just facing the truth about yourself and accepting the fact that you are whole, complete, and absolutely perfect. You really are all those things, but for some strange reason most of us have a seriously hard time believing it… time to change that.. permanently! All you have to do is let Suriel help you.

Suriel is so good at this kind of internal healing work because he has the wonderful ability to manifest anything from … well, absolutely nothing. But he won’t do the work for you. He will insist that you do the work with him, but he will always be happy to show you exactly how you can do this.

In your quiet time with Suriel, he will teach you ways to focus your mind and harness your creativity, allowing you to find many different ways to transform your life and everything in it. He will also help you recognise your limitations, so you can move past them, turning them into incredible assets.

So why not decide to work with him and give yourself permission to change on deep levels? This whole chaotic year has been a roller coaster ride, showing us all that this is what we need to do …. change and step forward into a whole new life… and Suriel’s gift to you will be to show you how to create a life beyond your wildest imaginings. I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t want that?

So exactly how can Suriel do to help you with everything you’ve read so far? Well, the short answer is lots of things and everything… as long as you find the time to sit with him and have a little chat. He can:

• Help you recognize what is yours and what you have accepted as reality from someone else, not to mention what you are carrying for someone else belongs to someone else. He will bring to you the gift of discernment so you can see what is yours and what is not.
• Help you with deep healing work, doing it one layer at a time to make it extremely effective.
• Helps you understand on multiple levels that everything you need to know, all the things you need to be aware of are already inside you. You don’t have to learn them. You have to allow yourself to remember them and remember how to be the most authentic version of yourself, standing in the truth of who you truly are, using that as your strength and guidance.
• Help you make the leap between where you are where you want to be… or rather need to be. We don’t always want to be there, do we!
• Help you feel the presence of love in your life and make sure you start loving yourself… warts and all! He will keep reminding you that you are perfect!! Not to mention worthy of loving and being loved in return.

There is one other angelic who may turn up if you do decide to work with Suriel and that is Surya, his Archeia. She is the feminine aspect of this powerful light being.

If you ask her to come and work with you and Suriel, her gift will be the quality of awakening which is an extremely useful thing if you need to become aware of all the things you have buried because you don’t want to deal with them, or the things you have been carrying for so long that you only see them as yours, not someone else’s. Welcome her as you would welcome him and make sure you are open to doing great things together!

But, despite everything I’ve written about, one of my favourite things about Suriel is that he is an angel who is associated with elemental or primordial powers and this means he can help you feel the balance and beauty of the universe and remind you that you are an integral part of it. That is such a lovely thing to be aware of and it makes you feel connected to everything. It is, in many ways, absolutely perfect, so thank you Suriel!

So is it time to start not only calling yourself fabulous but believing it too?

Bright Blessings!

In this chaotic world these two qualities are hugely useful, not to mention beneficial, especially for the physical body. And there is an easy way to fill every part of your Four Body System with them if you can crowbar fifteen or twenty minutes into your day.

The basic layout to clear out anything that is stopping you embodying these two qualities is:

• Heart Chakra – rose quartz to balance your emotions
• Crown Chakra – clear quartz to clear the mind and bring clarity so if something is bothering you, you stand more of a chance of being able to figure it out.
• Smoky Quartz – base chakra to clear the energy centre, allowing you to ground and centre which always helps everything!

Just place the crystals and lay with them on you for as long as you like.

Yes – it really is that simple. And, remember that quartz is empowered by thought forms, so if you set a really clear intention before you start working with them (i.e. focus your thoughts and have a clear goal) they will work with you to ensure you achieve it.

You can, of course, adapt this layout. If other stones resonate with you more than the three above, go for it!

If your emotions are intense, rose quartz might not be your smartest choice. It is an activating crystal. It will bring everything up and make you deal with it so, if you’re not ready, it is not always pleasant. In this state, you may need a gentler stone on this chakra.

Unakite is pink and green – the heart chakra in balance so it is always good. It is also stone of balance, allowing you to come back to yourself while helping you deal with your emotions.

Kunzite is a fabulous stone for the heart chakra. It is often called the stone of emotion, opening and connecting the heart to the mind, allowing them to come together to increase your ability to heal.

My favourite way to adapt this layout is to add three tigers eye, so it would be:

• Heart – rose quartz
• Crown – clear quartz
• Base, Sacral and Solar Plexus – brown tigers eye
• Between the feet – smoky quartz.

This works well because the base, sacral and solar plexus are the physical body chakras, and they all respond unbelievably well to brown tigers eye. This in turn nurtures your body, helping it to relax and your mind will quieten as well, bringing balance and calmness all on its own without the additional help of the other crystals.

But, as always, your journey with the crystal is … well, your journey.

See what appeals to you when you think about these two qualities and use those crystals.

Just because the instructions say one thing it does not mean you have to do the layout that way. You are in a different energetic state every time you work, so why would you use the exact same crystals in your layout every time? You need to adapt and go with the flow. Use what you are drawn to and place them in the area that feels right for you. That is what will get you the result you want to achieve!

And don’t forget the handy trick of embodying a quality by speaking the word after the phrase I AM.

All you have to do is decide which quality you need first while you are working with your crystals and start saying I AM….. with the intention of embodying it in the whole of your Four Body System. Then when you feel you are resonating with the frequency of that quality, swap and use the other word. It never fails!

Journey well with your crystals!

Bright Blessings!

Chinese Fluorite holds three distinct colour rays: violet, green and white, so it will help you to heal on three levels:

Violet – spiritual

Green – emotional

White – mental

• Cleanse your stone and sit with it, allowing yourself to attune to its strong, stable vibrational frequency. This is what will help you the most. Feel yourself beginning to vibrate at the same rate as your stone – feel the calmness and the strength you get from coming into resonance with this astonishing crystal.
• When you are ready set your intention – that you want to start healing mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
• Now ask your flourite to ground any excess energy in your system, especially mental energy which might distract you while you are working.
• Now ask the fluorite to cleanse your aura and let it work.
• Now tune in to each colour in the stone separately and absorb the energy for your greatest and highest good and the most appropriate healing for you at this time. (The amount of time you need with each colour will vary depending on your energetic state at the time of your meditation.)
• Now ask the fluorite to cleanse your aura again, removing anything you may have released during your healing meditation.
• Flourite can also offer you a new awareness about a situation, so if you need any more information about something which has been challenging you, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, sit with your fluorite and ask to be shown what you need to know to clear the blockage from your system.
• Now re-connect to the clear fluorite and ask it to balance all your chakras. Sit quietly and set the intention to breathe this energy into all your chakras, allowing them to come into balance with each other.
• Thank your fluorite, ground and return. If you have any difficulties grounding, ask the stone to help you. Placing it between your feet will always help.

I hope you journey well with this powerful crystal!

Bright Blessings!

Well, if the answer to that question is yes – there are two crystal layouts that can help you enormously.

I could explain all the details about the crystals, what they do and how they work together. But, since crystal therapy is more about experiencing the energy and watching it work than just reading about it, I am going to give you the two layouts and your job will be to try both of them, sense what happens on an energetic level while you are working and then, when you need to ease through a change that is happening in your life, you will intuitively know which one is best for you.. and do it!

Layout One

Throat Chakra – blue lace agate

Crown or brow – amethyst

Layout two

Solar plexus and heart – rose quartz

Feet – smoky quartz

One other thing you can do is smoky quartz at your feet and the three physical body chakras – base, sacral and solar plexus. The gentle energy will help if you get stressed by change… and we have it by the bucket load at the moment!

Bright Blessings!

After the last blog, I thought this was a good and rather witty little title. It came to me while I was driving to work… however, the hematite deva, was not so impressed and quietly informed me while I sat in the traffic jam that crystals do not perform tricks… just miracles, from time to time!

I still liked the title, though, so I have kept it, after apologising profusely to every hematitie I possessed … which is a lot because it is an enormously useful crystal!

But, please bear in mind, your hematite (or any other crystal) is not performing a trick for you. They are helping you get through the chaos out there in a really useful and wonderful way. So make sure you send them love and gratitude after you have worked with them!

So, what do you do with three hematite tumblestones?

The short answer is – you build a triangle on the floor between your feet!

And, as always, you set your intention before you start working because your triangle can do two different things. This is because hematite’s main function (although it is usually recommended only as a grounding stone and this is only part of what it does) is to regulate light… and light in your body is just energy, so it can help you to maintain balance in many ways.

If you are tired and your energy is depleted it will pull earth energy up into your system and restore you and your energy levels and nurture your physical body.

If you have way too much energy in your system and it is causing a problem, it will download it straight into the ground and balance you in a completely different way.

So, the first thing you do is sit quietly and decide are you lacking energy? Or do you have an over abundance that needs dealing with so you can return to the perfect vibrational rate for you?

After the decision has been made, you set your intention to either upload into your energy system or download it out of your system through your feet chakras and then you simply build the triangle you need to do it.

To upload energy – construct a triangle using three hematites and have the apex pointing towards you. This will initiate a drawing up process and you will feel energy flowing into your system through both feet chakras. Just sit quietly until you feel you have replenished your store of energy and your vibration has returned to its normal rate.

To download an excess of energy – construct a triangle with your three hematites and have the apex pointing away you. This will initiate a downward flow of energy through your body and you will eventually feel it reach your legs, flow down to your feet and out through both feet chakras. Just sit quietly until you feel you have released any excess energy and your vibration has returned to its normal rate. It will calm you very quickly…. and it will clear energy in any form. You can have excess physical energy…. or mental and emotional energy.

You can either just set a general intention to release what ever needs to leave your system at the time you are working. Or, if you know you have been thinking too much, be specific and say you want excess mental energy to flow into the ground. Or, if you have been feeling too much, change the intention to release the excess emotional energy.

This is just a simple technique. You need to check in on yourself and see what you need to do to make it work effectively for you.

An additional crystal you can use if you want to draw excess mental energy out of your system is fluorite. Hold a piece in your hand or place it in the centre of your triangle and it will help the entire process. It will also keep you stable while you release the energy.

Have fun playing with this! And, it will help you remain stable and calm in all this madness!

Bright Blessings!

With all the chaos around us, it is sometimes difficult to know which way to turn or what to do next, especially if you are stuck in an uncomfortable energy.

I have found that using three cards (from what ever type of card set you like – any will do!) can help enormously. It provides you with information you can use to kick start a shift.

Take two with a very clear intention:

• the first one is to show the energy you are currently in.
• the second is to show the energy you need to be in.

Look at them and allow yourself to feel the difference between the energy of the two qualities shown on the cards and how different they are.

Connect to each separately and then connect to both of them together so you are ready to take your third card.

• This one is to show the transition between where you are and where you need to be. It is like a steppingstone and moving into this energy will help you shift out of the space you are currently in and move into the one you want to be in.

This is only a basic template. Feel free to adapt it so it will become more useful for you. When ever you read about a technique, it is always up to you to see if it suits you or if you need to adjust it slightly, so it becomes more helpful.

One tip – if the second card is negative – take an additional one, asking to be shown what negative energy is causing this, so you have more information about what you need to do to move into a more positive one.

And, don’t always expect to see a negative quality for the first card. Sometimes you are stuck in a bad space and the card will reflect this, but other times, even though you are in a good space, you can be aware you need to leave it and embrace a different one entirely to move one. But, there is nothing wrong with shifting into a more fabulous one!

Bright Blessings!

As these are the keywords for fluorite, it seems like we should all be using industrial sized bits of this lovely stone at the moment.

Thankfully, though, a small tumblestone will be more than enough!

I could write pages and pages about this stone. It is incredibly useful in so many  ways and in so many situations, but I thought I’d make it nice and easy to see the benefits of having it around, so you can chose how you would like it to help you at a glance rather than having to read through loads of information.

You can meditate with flourite for any of the following reasons:

• To clear confusion and it will also help if you are feel overwhelmed by anything
• To relieve stress
• To bring clarity to your thoughts
• To give you unexpected insight on anything happening in your life
• To clear your head
• To keep your mind focused, sharp and clear – but this only works effectively if you make the effort to use the stone to clear your head first… sometimes repeatedly at the moment.
• To attune to your Higher Self on a new, deeper level
• To understand your purpose in any situation

Also, if you wear or carry it, it will strengthen your aura, blocking negativity at the outer edge of the auric sheath. But the good thing about fluorite is that it doesn’t block any positive energy – that still gets through to you. It is, without doubt, one of the very best protective stones because most of the others just stop everything – the good and the bad – and they don’t allow any gentle or beneficial energy to reach you.

It is also a very effective grounding stone, which makes it priceless at a time like this when so many people are completely out of their bodies.

One of the best ways to work with fluorite is to place it on your brow chakra, so the energy from the stone can go straight into your head. As long as you set your intention to use the energy from the stone to calm yourself and clear your mind, it will go straight to work, and it is unbelievably effective. Working with it is always a blessing and the relief you can experience if you are willing to really let go of all the thoughts that are troubling you, is sometimes quite profound. I recommend it a lot.

A good way to use fluorite to clear your head is to use the stone’s grounding potential and place it between your feet, with the intention of pulling any excess mental energy out of your head. Then, it will seem as if any excess mental energy you have in your head is simply tugged down through your body to your feet where it can simply flow out of your energy system into the ground. It feels like a miracle if you have way too many thoughts crowding inside your head!

Flourite also works well with other stones if you want to achieve a particular goal, though, as always, setting a clear intention before you start working is essential.

It is good for spiritual awakening and other stones that enhance this aspect of the stone are: Amethyst, turquoise, iolite, sodalite, moonstone, hematite.

If you want to identify and start working to clear any negative thought or behaviour patterns, these additional stones can help you do this: Sodalite, aquamarine, moonstone, emerald, agate

All you have to do is decide how you want the fluorite to help you, choose your additional stone and sit with fluorite in one hand and second stone in the other hand. See if they feel comfortable. If they don’t, try swapping hands. If they still don’t feel comfortable, choose another stone!

Lastly, if you place a piece of flourite in a room, it will balance and stabilise the energy within it and, when you are in the room, it will do exactly the same for you.

I hope fluorite helps you as much as it has always helped me.

Bright Blessings!

Rhyolite

Keywords: Self-respect, self-love, acceptance of the past, happiness and love

Chakra: Heart, solar plexus, brow and crown

Element: Earth

There are so many wonderful crystals to choose from when I start to think about writing about them, it often makes it difficult to choose which one to write about. They are all valuable and will help change you and your life, but one thing about this month’s crystal stood out for me… the phrase – rhyolite is like an anti-depressant with any side-effects. It seemed like the perfect stone for a lot of people during these strange, unsettling times. It is associated with love, joy and hope, so using it will help a great deal if you are struggling with change, transition, fear and anxiety, separation…

I could go on and on because there is a long, long list of things people are experiencing, but the vibration of rhyolite contains within it the energy that can help you cope, or indeed overcome whatever is troubling you on a deep and often profound level. You just have to be willing to do the work and allow change to happen.

Obviously, I have no idea if this will be easy for you. I have no idea what is currently happening in your life, so all I can say is – get a piece of this amazing multi-coloured crystal, hold it in your non-dominant hand and set the intention that with each in breath you pull its energy in through your palm chakra, up your arm and just let it flow into your body… it will do what ever it needs to do to help you.

One of the other things rhyolite does is to help you realise your highest potential. It will help you see what you can really do to help yourself and to see past the chaos to something better. It will encourage you to chase your dreams with renewed energy and you can use its uplifting energy to rise up and out of all the low vibrational rubbish that is floating round the earthplane. You can’t change it. Sometimes, you can’t even seem to get rid of it, but you can, without a shadow of a doubt, rise above it if you keep your own vibrational rate high and strong. Rhyolite will help you do this as long as it is within our energy field. Holding it is great. You absorb the energy very quickly but carrying it in your pocket will also work.

If you want to use the stone with an intention, hold it on your heart chakra and ask for the vibrations from the crystal to clear away any emotional blockages you have there and just let it work. It knows what to do! All you have to do is allow the energy to cleanse the negativity from your heartspace. And, it doesn’t stop there. This precious crystal then helps you focus on what is important to you… what really makes your heart sing. So sit with it once the clearing has finished and ask to see what is good and true and meaningful in your life… and if it is missing… ask for help to find it… or re-discover it if you had it and lost it during all this madness.

Rhyolite is also a useful crystal to work with at the brow chakra as it can help you re-set your mind, so you can see the negativity in your life and, once you have identified it, it will be easier to deal with it… and continuing to work with rhyolite will help you do this. It’s vibration will be a real blessing to you in so many ways… I couldn’t possibly list them. To be honest, there would be no point because they will be different for everyone who uses the stone. This change in your life is a co-creation and the outcome will always depend what your energy is like when you use the stone. But, what ever happens, it will always help. So just sit with rhyolite for twenty minutes and notice what thoughts come up and, if they are negative, just ask the stone to help you dissolve this energy, and fill the space left behind with its own uplifting vibrations. It will always facilitate a positive transformation… as long as you let it, of course. You can always resist opening to new possibilities and, if you do, maybe you should sit with the crystal a little longer and ask to see why you would want to do this.

If you feel your solar plexus needs clearing, you can place rhyolite on this chakra and it will bring an emotional release, so use it wisely at this position. And, if you know you have self-esteem issues, you can work with focussed intent. It will help you learn to value yourself and all your gifts and talents. It will also help you align with your will and your personal power. These two things live in this chakra.

So, if rhyolite has found its way into your life before you read this… well, it means you are ready to start the transformation process and you just haven’t realised it! Just go for it!

And, if you go and get a bit after reading this, it is a huge thing, a massive positive step and it shows you are really ready to take responsibility for your own health and well-being. Please be proud of this! It’s a big deal and really, all you have to do is sit with this stone and let it fill you with a renewed sense of joy and inspiration!

Additional information you can use to set healing intentions when you work with rhyolite is shown below. Randomly pick a number  from 1 to 8 and see what has come up for you. It’s a great way of by-passing the mind and letting your intuition show you exactly what you need to be dealing with.

1. It strengthens mind, body and soul.
2. It helps you process the past so you can integrate it with the present, bringing peace of mind.
3. It teaches you to live in the moment.
4. It brings insight and resolution to difficulties, helping you find solutions for anything.
5. It enhances self-esteem, self- worth, self-respect and self-love
6. It allows you to learn to accept who you really are.
7. It is a stone of solutions, change and progress.
8. It helps you find the right path on a soul level.

One last thing – please be aware that rhyolite will bring things to resolution. It doesn’t matter what the problem is or has been…. It will get it sorted. You have to be prepared for this, so choose when you want to do really deep work with it. It will bring all your rubbish to the surface of your conscious mind and you will have to deal with it. But it will always help you clear the negativity and encourage you to move forward, and it will keep you safely anchored in the present moment rather than allowing you to hang on to people and experiences that are no longer helping you live the life you want to live, people and experiences that belong firmly in the past. And, remember that if you keep looking back… all you get is a crick in your neck!

Work with this lovely stone wisely and always listen to its wisdom!

Bright Blessings!

With stress levels soaring and so much fear and uncertainty all around us, perhaps now is a good time to think about connecting with Quan Yin. Her qualities of love and compassion would be perfect to combat the negativity that is almost rampant on the earthplane.

Any time you can spend with this lovely goddess will help you enormously, so here is a meditation to get you started. Feel free to adapt it in any way that suits you and makes your experience more real for you.

To be honest, you don’t even need the moon or a moonstone. Quan Yin will come as soon as you call her name, but I like them, so I always add them in when I’m working.

• Hold your moonstone in your non-dominant hand and ask it to work with you, enhancing everything you do during your meditation… and remember to thank it for doing this as well!
• Now relax and focus on your breath, setting a intention that you want to release any tension in your body on each out breath. Then, make your out breath long and slow and imagine the tension is just floating away on your breath.
• Now imagine there is a vibrant full moon above you and connect to its energy. Be aware of it on all levels and breathe in its bright while and silver light. With each in breath, draw it into your heart chakra.
• Now see or sense this bright moonlight flowing through your heart chakra into your central channel where it can move up and down from your heart, bringing everything into alignment….and keep breathing until you feel this alignment.
• Now glance down at your moonstone and connect with it on a deeper level. Then set the intention that you want to breathe the energy of the crystal into your body. Feel it filling your lungs as you breathe it in and flowing everywhere.
• And, as you breathe out, let go of any remaining tension and stress you are holding in your body.
• Now be aware that the energy of the moonstone is moving. As it has calmed your body, it is going to calm your mind as well. So, allow it to flow up from your lungs to your mind and feel the gentle, soothing energy of the stone start to affect your thoughts, slowing them until you feel completely calm.
• Now as you sit with the energy of the moonstone filling your mind and your body, it is time to connect with Quan Yin. All you have to do is call her name and she will come. She always does. So when she arrives, thank her for joining you, take a moment to attune to her beautiful energy and just sit in her energy. You don’t need to do anything else unless, of course, you want to. All you have to do is rest, held safely in her love and compassion and you can stay there for as long as you like.
• If it feels appropriate, though, do talk to her and listen to the wisdom of her reply with an open heart and an open mind.
• When you feel your work with her has finished, thank Quan Yin and your moonstone, return your awareness to your surroundings, ground and return.

So, I hope spending time with Quan Yin is beneficial to you … on all levels.

And, of course, don’t forget you can adapt this…you can ask any helper or guide to join you using the same meditation. So if you feel you need to spend time with anyone else, just go for it! It’s  all about what will help you get through this chaos!

Bright Blessings!
