Dragon symbolises:

Power

Change

Spirituality

Good luck

Prosperity

Self-Love

Empowerment

Dragon teaches you to:

Connect with your imagination and creativity

Tap into your power

Find your voice so you can be truly heard

How to be assertive and stand up for yourself

Access hidden strength and courage

As dragon is the incoming animal for the Chinese New Year on 10^th February, below is some information to help you work with them. They are very powerful beings, and they should always be offered much love and respect, and, in return, they will offer you many things.

Dragon symbolises change and, when you work with them, it means there will be many, many changes in your life. But all of them will move you forward, allowing you to step into the best possible version of yourself.

Also, when you work with them, you should encourage communication with them, acknowledging them as often as possible. And, when you call on their potent and restorative qualities, they will help you live your life with honesty, courage and strength.

If you find you are drawn to work with dragon, it means you are about to awaken your own inner power and that you are absolutely ready to embrace it, whether you think you are or not! So all you have to do is decide what you want to do when you are finally able to stand in that power and fully embrace it. What goals do you have…. what dreams? Because dragon will be there at your side to help you achieve everything.

And if you spend time with dragon regularly, you will become a force to be reckoned with because you will become strong, brave and wise and able to overcome anything you perceive as an obstacle in your life.

But don’t forget… those obstacles can also be viewed another way… as opportunities to grow. It is only ever your perception of people or situations that means you see them as problems.

But one of the best gifts dragon will bring into your life is the ability to see your world through the eyes of mystery and wonder. Now who wouldn’t want that?

Journey well with this powerful totem.

Bright Blessings!

Since a Year 8 is always a bit of a roller coaster ride, gaining clarity about the way ahead can be useful and, although change happens very quickly and cannot always be anticipated, you can use crystals to help you see a little of the pathway ahead of you.

If you sit with carnelian and tiger’s eye and meditate on what will be unfolding for you in the next few months… or indeed the next few moments if things start to change ridiculously quickly … it will help you gain clarity about almost anything you focus on while you are working with them.

Carnelian, in particular, will help with any goals you want to set for the year because it enhances motivation and passion. It will help you work our exactly what you want, promoting understanding as well as clarity.

And when you use carnelian with tiger’s eye, one of the other benefits is the two stones create an energy that harmonises the sacral, boosting your creativity. It will also allow you to find fulfilment in this astonishing year, which is going to bring about massive change and comes with the potential for deep healing on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Journey well with these two crystal allies.

Bright Blessings!

Like any portal or energetic event, the 1212 window is open for three weeks after 12^th December, so you can still use the energy it provided when the downloads occurred to move forward on your spiritual journey.

You can do anything that works for you in this time, but since working with crystals is always a good thing to do, here are some crystal pairings that will work well with the prevailing energetics. They will also help prepare you for the 1/1 portal on 1^st January which is a double dose of new beginnings!

And there is also a manifesting portal on 11/1 when you get three 1s. This will be a much better day for setting resolutions if you do that sort of thing.

So what crystal pairings should you be looking at:

Amazonite and Amethyst – using these together allows you to discover and align with your inner truth and authenticity. And, as the energy of the 12 12 portal carries a load of angelic energy these two stones also allow you to connect with angelic guidance and support. So what’s not to like about them?

Clear Quartz and Pyrite – clear quartz will bring clarity and power when you work with it, but when you combine it with pyrite it leads to a much deeper spiritual awakening. It also gives you focus and motivation to move forward. And, lastly, working with these stones together opens the lower and the higher chakras, bringing balance to the chakra system as well as your body, mind and soul.

Citrine and Malachite – these two powerful stones bring transformation if used together.

Moonstone and Citrine – for the manifestation day on 11/1 because these stones will help you set strong and clear intentions, and they also attract success and good luck when you work with them together.

So have fun with your crystals!

Bright blessings!

One of the affirmations you can use while working with Citrine is:

I AM filled with positive energy and I have a positive outlook on my life so I can grow and succeed in the things I choose to do.

So, as the 12 12 portal is the Portal of Conscious Awareness and the incoming energy allows you to see what is holding you back, citrine is the perfect stone to help you purge any negativity you find in your Four Body System.

Sit with your stone and ask it to show you what you need to do to turn any negativity in your life into positive energy. Use the stone’s energy to purge it and then download the energy of the 12 12 portal, filling yourself with the angelic light that is flowing through this cosmic doorway today. It will enhance the cleaning process and, when you feel everything has been dealt with, sit with your stone again, attune to its vibrant, positive vibrations and repeat the affirmation until you start to vibrate with the frequency of the words.

But if you don’t resonate with the words, just change them to ones that are more suited to you and what is happening in your life.

Happy Portal Day – 12 12 is about rest, re-calibration and wholeness after the previous eleven double date days in the year.

Bright Blessings!

This is a way of using music as a sound healing tool.

It is simple, fast, and very effective, so please read on…

The sound you use for this exercise will be captured by the outer ear. It will then be funnelled into the middle ear where it will vibrate some very small bones. These bones amplify the sound and pass it on to the inner ear. This part of the ear is called the cochlea, and it is lined with small hairs which are all tuned to a different frequency. So the sound locates the hairs that match its frequency, making them vibrate, and the cochlea then coverts the mechanical energy of all the vibrations into electrical energy which it is then transmitted it to the brain.

It’s completely astonishing, and you can use this explanation to enhance your sonic experience by imagining the sound from your piece of music is doing all this.

Sonic Massage Exercise

• Choose the piece of music you want to work with, making sure it is a piece you really like to listen to, and set your intention. This will ensure that, when you hear the sound, it has the desired effect.
• Lay down, settle into a comfortable position, and take a moment to prepare to focus on the music you have chosen.
• Then all you have to do is listen to it, imagining the sound waves moving through your ears as described above.
• And then imagine all those little electrical impulses are waves of sonic energy, moving through your ears into your head, flooding it with relaxing warmth.
• And, as you continue to listen, feel your head relaxing, your brow softening, your jaw letting go of tension and allow yourself to start breathing in time with the music. Allow yourself to become the music.
• And, with each deep, relaxing breath, be aware of the way the sound is starting to vibrate, gently massaging your neck, shoulders, arms. Then, with a nothing more than a focused thought, direct it down to all thirty-three vertebrae in your spine.
• After a while, breathe all the energy your piece of music is generating into the lower half of your body. Start by filling your pelvis and let it spread out, eventually flowing down your legs to your thighs, knees, calves and ankles.
• Then, direct all the relaxing pulses of sonic energy to the soles of your feet and let them vibrate back up through your body.
• Lastly, leave your body behind and just focus on the music. Surrender to the beat and tone and the flow of the notes becoming fully aware of the way the music is filling your head. It will feel as if the sonic energy from the sound is flooding into your mind, clearing it of everything. Every thought. Every feeling. And it will leave you feeling calm and unbelievably relaxed.
• Continue for as long as you want to, but when you are finished make sure you come fully back into your body, and ground firmly as your awareness narrows back to your surroundings.

Hope you enjoy doing it!

Bright Blessings!

Before You Speak – THINK

T – is it True?

H – is it Helpful?

I – is it Inspiring?

N – is it Necessary?

K – is it Kind?

Author Unknown

I don’t know who made this up, but since Mercury is in Scorpio now until 10/10/23 and one of the things that is up front and personal during this time is language, it is the perfect time to think about what you are saying on a much deeper level. All words are power… literally because they vibrate and they affect everything else that is vibrating. So that, of course, includes us.

So is it time to learn a new language, a new way to express yourself?

If nothing else, it is certainly a time to learn how to express your own personal truth in more authentic ways.

So… contemplate all this and see if you need to make any changes to what you say and how you say it…

And don’t forget that this will include your thoughts as well because you form the words inside your head, and they will still be vibrating. And sometimes they can be more powerful because you often think the same thought over and over again and the energy is never released through your mouth. It just stays inside your head, the vibration changing you on multiple levels… though, I have to say, the only thoughts we usually think repeatedly are negative ones… so what do you think that is doing to you on a vibrational level?

Always consider what you are thinking as well as what you are saying because words are so powerful and important, and it is you who decides what ones you use. No one makes you say anything. so it is time to really remember that they can be creative or destructive because their vibration is inside you… sometimes all the time.

And all those questions… please remember they apply to what you say about yourself as to what you say about anyone else. We are often crueller to ourselves than anyone else. So surely it is time for it to stop.

Bright Blessings!

Yes you did read the title of this blog correctly. It is about groaning and that is because sound healing isn’t singing healing. You don’t have to make a pretty or melodious sound to clear rubbish out of your system. It is sound healing, so really any sound will do as long as you make a very clear intention before you make it.

And groaning is a hugely useful sound. In fact it is the perfect sound to express frustration and anger … and since there is a lot of that going around at the moment… why not use one of the sounds you instinctively make when you are stuck in those emotional states more effectively?

Groaning – when you do it unconsciously or without an intention – is quite simply an attempt to release the pressure of a blockage. It doesn’t matter if it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. The emotional energy is stuck in your system somewhere, and conscious use of the sound of your groan can and will shift it.

If it’s not much energy, one long heart-felt noise might get rid of it, but if you have been stuck in a horrible place for some time, it may take more repetitions. You’ll know when it’s gone, so just keep doing it until you get the feeling you’re okay… or at least a whole lot better if you can’t shift it all at one time.

So all you have to do is set your intention to release … whatever you want really… and groan. It really is that simple. But if it is a tough blockage or a large one you can add another sound.

AW (as in awe) is an astonishingly good way to express and release this type of negative emotion and you get this when you start to realise it is present in words which describe stressful states like: wrought, overwrought, distraught, awful. So, once again, it is another perfect sound to get the job done.

And don’t forget the biggie for the AW sound. It is in the word ought…so take a moment to consider just how many times do you say I ought to do something… and how many times do you feel frustrated or angry when you had to do the thing you don’t really want to do?

And just saying this word will cause a tightness inside you, particularly around the solar plexus area because that is the seat of your emotions. Try it and see… it’s true!

And the same tightness will also be caused by doing things you feel you ought to do. It is often said when you do things in this frame of mind you are doing them with a sense of duty without love… how true is that?

So, not only is it probably time for you to start using sound to help you release these uncomfortable emotional states perhaps you ought to consider how many times you use the phrase “I ought to…” and stop using it!

And groaning will always help.

And it will also work if you don’t have any anger or frustration to release because you will still have a certain amount of tension in your mind and your body from day-to-day living in this mad world. The vibration of the groan of the sound AW will shake it loose, allowing you to feel a lot more comfortable.

So how do you use these sounds?

If you are going to groan.. just set the intention that you want to release any blockages from the solar plexus area of your body (naming anything specific if you want to) and… GROAN! And repeat until the area is cleared.

If you are going to use the AW sound, you start with the sound R. This sound stimulates the solar plexus area, making the whole release process a lot easier and, to make it more powerful, you make the R sound by adding an E to it – so the sound you actually make is ERRRR.

It is not a pretty sound. It’s not meant to be, but it is effective which is what really counts. And the deeper you can make the sound the more powerful it is, but don’t strain your voice doing it. You need to feel comfortable.

So you start by setting your intention and make the ERRRR sound for at least five seconds, keeping your jaw loose and your throat open, and then start sliding into the AW sound. And keep repeating until you feel you have cleared the solar plexus area.

There is one other thing you can do to make the release process more effective and this is to clench your fists with the intention that the fists represent the tension in your body, so when you unclench them it then represents the release of the tension they represent.

So if you want to add this to your release:

• Set your intention for your sound and your hands.
• Clench your hands into fists and place them against your body just under the diaphragm.
• Make the ERRR sound for as long as you need to and then slide into the AW sound and continue for as long as you need to.
• Then as your sound fades into silence, unclench your fists and move them away from your belly, letting your arms hang loosely at your sides.
• Then focus on your breath for a minute or two, ground and return your awareness to your surroundings.

Bright Blessings!

Citrine is a wonderful stone because its main job is to turn negative energy to positive energy, so it is incredibly effective as a cleansing stone for the chakras.  You can use it on any of them individually or if you want to make sure you are bright and shiny… start by placing your crystal at the base, let it work and then move it up to the sacral, working your way all the way up to the crown. The result is lovely.

But, if you don’t have time to do all seven chakras and you have two pieces of Citrine, place one at the base and one at the crown with a clear intention of clearing the whole system and just let your stones work. You’ll know when it’s done. You’ll feel much better.

You can also place one Citrine on the sacral and one at the brow to make a clearer, stronger connection to your intuition.

Have fun with the lovely crystal.

Bright Blessing!

In these chaotic and confusing times a little clarity about what is happening in your life and discovering the best way to move ahead is always useful.

And if that sentence resonates with you, perhaps it is time for you to get a piece of fluorite and let it help you!

The key words for flourite are: order to chaos; and there are not enough words to describe how useful this can be if you are struggling at the moment, as many people are, even deeply spiritual ones! And this lovely stone will be able to bring peace and harmony to your life by clearing your head and calming you down… and on so many different levels too. And who doesn’t need that some days?

It also enhances your ability to meditate, increases your psychic development, brings spiritual peace. And, last but certainly not least, if you want a sense of order in your life, the only thing you really have to do is place a piece of this crystal in your environment.

Flourite comes in many different colours, but one of the most useful pieces to have in your crystal toolbox is the fluorite from China – Chinese or rainbow flourite. This variety of has three distinct bands of colour, giving you three colour rays to work with: violet, green and white. And because of its three colours, it is able to help you to heal on three levels: spiritual, emotional, and mental.

So whatever issues you are facing, rainbow fluoritewill help you become mentally aware of what is happening to you on every level and then, as you continue to work with it, it will begin to help you work through the everything you need to process in order to complete your healing. All you have to do is be open enough to work with it and accept everything you discover while you are meditating with it.

But back to clarity – fluorite will bring this quality back into your life by clearing all the rubbish out of your cluttered mind and that in turn makes seeing the way forward a lot easier. Everything becomes clearer once you silence your mind, stopping all the unhelpful, repetitive thoughts and fluorite is designed to do this in the most effective way.

One way to clear your mind is to place a piece of fluorite on the floor between your feet and ask it to pull all the excess mental energy out of your head. It will be tugged down through your body and flow out of your feet into the ground, making you feel a whole lot better really quickly. All you have to do is set a clear intention and then sit quietly, focusing on your breath while the stone starts working. The sense of relief when it is finished is sometimes quite profound, too.

And since it really is that simple, why not give it a go?

So if you do want to bring a little clarity into your life, fluorite will help there as well. Blue or violet fluorite are particularly good for this, but if you don’t have them any colour will do. Then, all you have to do is set a clear intention and let the crystal start working while you gently rub it in small clockwise circles on the brow chakra for about two minutes… focusing really clearly on what you want to achieve by doing it.

Then, after you have finished, you will find that it is suddenly so much easier to see the way ahead .. or focus on any goal you want to achieve. And this exercise will work even more effectively if you pull all your unwanted thoughts out of your head before you do it… and it’s not as if it is hard to sit with a piece of fluorite between your feet!!! Just make sure you cleanse it before you then use it on your brow, though otherwise you will put all your rubbish back inside your head when you use it at the brown chakra!

May fluorite bless you in every way on your journey.

Bright Blessings!

• Kyanite – to calm and centre you and once you resonate fully with this crystal’s lovely vibration it will allow you to take energy into your system more easily. It will keep you receptive and it will ground any spiritual energy that is draw towards you.
• Quartz – if you set the intention to draw spiritual energy towards you your quartz will ensure this is done for you.

Meditation

• Hold the quartz in one hand and the kyanite in the other and set the intention you want to receive the most appropriate energy for you at the time you are working with your two crystals.
• Focus on the kyanite first, breathing its soothing energy in through your palm chakra on your in breath. And keep doing this until you come into resonance with the stone and feel calm and relaxed.
• Now turn your awareness to your quartz and thank it for drawing the most appropriate spiritual energy towards you. Then open to receive this energy through your palm chakra. It will flow into the quartz and then into you. Allow it to go wherever it needs to go and keep breathing until you feel it is time to stop.
• Let the energy settle, then put your quartz down and hold your kyanite vertically in front of you, asking it to align your chakras after the incoming energy has shifted your vibrational rate upwards.
• When you feel this is done, ask your kyanite to align your subtle bodies.
• When you feel this is done, thank both your crystals, ground and return your awareness to your surroundings.

This is a lovely meditation with two lovely crystals and if you want to use it to help with the 8/8 download process, just set a more specific intention and ask the quartz to draw the most appropriate light code packets into your system.

And if you don’t have any kyanite, just choose another crystal that calms and relaxes you. It won’t do the alignment process at the end of the meditation, but the rest will still work.

Bright Blessings!
