Morganite1Morganite, Equality in Love

Such an interesting pink card this is. Morganite is a form of Beryl that is quite a soft pink, almost translucent. It is drawing our attention from the self-care of the bottom three chakras, the very physical realms, to the heart. There in-lies the next step of nurturing: Self-love.

Part of the self-love is the balance between the masculine and the feminine aspects of self, and realizing your polarities. Where are you most comfortable on the polarity scale for yourself? Are you most comfortable being seventy-five percent masculine? Or ten percent feminine? Where is your natural and comfortable tendency to naturally BE?

Notice how you move in and out of these polarities. Notice who draws what side of you out. Notice how different activities draw different sides out. Where are the wounds? Where is the grace? Where is your love? Is there an aspect of love missing to either side in any scenario?

All of you deserves to be loved by you. Every single aspect. The good, the bad, the ugly. All of it. Every breath, every footstep, every pimple and mole, every heartbeat, every hair. You will find from self-love grows respect, worthiness, and joy.

turquoiseTurquoise, Spirit of the Earth

As the Earth comes back to life with more buoyancy so do we. The call to stay near to the planet, connecting with her, stays strong. Stays really strong. It is suggested that we all begin doing one thing that will shift our connection to her, creating a wave of change. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as you feel you can do it, you can make a lifestyle change that will support the Mother and your connection to her.

On this note there is a call out to issues with your mother. The Earth is our First Mother, but the woman who gave birth to us is the Mother we formed all our relationships to the Divine Feminine with, aka women. There is a call out here to take a look at the relationship you have with your Mother. How does it play out in other relationships you have? How does it play out with your relationship with Mother Earth? Does it play out at all or not at all?

Allow yourself to receive the nurturing that the Earth wants to give us. If you do not allow yourself, in what other aspects of life are you not allowing yourself to receive nurturing? Humans need to be nurtured, loved, accepted, and held. It is part of the drive to connect with ourselves and others. There is a strong sense here to allow yourself to be nurtured by not only others, but yourself and the Planet.

A lucky week for many.

When You Need to Forget the Future

SometimesyouneedtoforgetBeing intuitive comes with its own unique set of challenges. For example, in a world of probabilities, I often have to forget the future. It sounds silly doesn’t it?

While most of us are planning the for the future and figuring out what we would like to do here I am learning to forget it. Not all of it. Just an aspect of it.

There seems to be a fine balance of planning the future, expecting what’s to come, and releasing it to let what happens happens. It seems to be that balance I’ve been learning about this past year.

When I first moved back to Vancouver I was delightfully surprised to hear from a mentor of mine in a quick reading that I will be meeting my Life Partner in Crime during my time in Vancouver. As I tuned into it I felt in Spring it would be likely to occur this meeting. Then I checked in with a psychic friend of mine, and he confirmed Spring.

Well, its turned into Spring and almost all I can think about is the meeting of this partner. I’m excited! As “spiritual” as I am, I am also human. And I share the desire to connect as much as the next person. So it’s Spring and every day I wake up wondering if today is the day!

I’m making sure I don’t change the probability line too much, ensuring that I am choosing the correct probabilities to make this come true, and all the while hearing my Guides whisper: “Just forget about it. Let it go. Let it go.”

A friend says, “You can’t control it.”

The same psychic friend I’ve started to check in with monthly says, “You choosing to travel this summer might have screwed up the timelines. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t meet him now until after your travels.”

I know! I know! I have to forget the future!

If I can forget the future than the future has the freedom to become truth. 

Do you know how hard that is? The human brain holds onto the certainty of the future pretending it has figured it out, pretending nothing can shake it, pretending clarity, pretending it knows the truth. In reality, it knows as little as I know, which is very little, especially about my own future.

And so with a big, deep breath, I release the future. I forget that I have a possible meeting with my Life Partner in Crime. When I think about it I will redirect my thoughts. I will not feed it. I will simply let it go into the depths of the forgotten.

This is part of the reason why I feel I don’t receive messages containing my future for the small things – just the big things. Grand visions to come or deep knowings that come true once I’ve released them to the ethers. The visions always come true when I’ve released them.

Oh sigh. The practice of non-attachment as taught by my Soul.

rosequartzheartRose Quartz, Forgiveness

This is the week that I feel we may have a tendency to be a bit harsh on ourselves and the world around us. This is the week we are reminded to relax and to take it easy. This is the week where I feel energy not flowing as smoothly, as if there is a resistance to moving forward, almost like someone is trying to stop the forward movement of a vehicle. As we resist we create more pain to us and the world around us. Be wary of other people resisting and creating more friction than necessary, and remember not to resist their resistance for that will create a snowball of resistance.

The more conscious each one of us is, the more responsibility we have. “With great power comes great responsibility” infamously goes the line said in Spiderman. Consciousness is power. Use it wisely. Use it to your advantage and clear the karmas that surround you so can live your dharma, your truth, your soul. Remember to surrender and to engage with your wisdom and greatest consciousness you can muster. Remember to come from the heart, and the heart is truly the greatest power. Nothing can suppress or squish down Unconditional Love.

You are Unconditional Love.

Deep within you, all of you, lies a Soul made of Unconditional Love.

Be that love as best you can. Get rid of anything that is not that, and allow your soul to live.

Be easy on yourself, love yourself, forgive yourself, and remember that for others that surround you. At times words must be spoken, and if your heart wishes to speak them, speak them from the heart and no where else.

How To Activate Your Minerals

ourintentioncreatesrealityI’m in business mode when I call up a potential supplier for one of my most loved and cherished minerals, the rose pink Andara I’ve been working with intensely since last October. I know that the supplier will have to have something special before I can trust that they are supplying me with a true Andara.

There’s a lot of controversy surrounding these minerals. They look like glass and can be easily replicated. It’s tough to tell glass apart from glass, and to tell you the truth, I’m not really sure how you can unless you are in a lab or using your intuition.

I get on the phone with the potential supplier, Skye, and within five minutes of the conversation I know that I’ve found my supplier. I know that she “get’s it’. She “get’s it” beyond myself. I can sense within her a deep respect for the minerals and the processes they undertake us. She tells me a story, a story I can’t recall now, but I do remember one line, a line that I bookmarked in my brain because it was so profound: The minerals work with you when you activate them through intention. 

You would think that this is pretty obvious of a statement. The thing  is that I never simplified it so succinctly. The way that she told it to me hit me like a missile. Suddenly I saw all the minerals I had worked with and gifted away over the years, the minerals that have shaped me beyond what I will ever know and I understand.

I remember telling a friend about a mineral I had carried with me since I was seventeen. It is a large white mineral with black specks. I had it for years before it was identified as Merlinite, a mineral that stimulates deep intuition and psychic knowing. For all those years that I carried Merlinite with me, even across the country, even when I didn’t know what it was, it always had a spot to be. It was always holding space on an altar, bookshelf, window sill.

The time came for me to gift it away, six years later, and I said to a friend, “I don’t know if it did very much…”

My friend jumped in surprise, and with a playful grin he replied, “The psychic doesn’t think that the Magic of Merlinite didn’t do anything while she developed and honed her intuition the last several years?”

I had to laugh out loud. Of course Merlinite had been a part of my process as I trained and honed my intuition!

That’s how simple it is for the minerals to work with you. I never thought twice about putting Merlinite out – though I wondered what he was and occasionally asked around. I didn’t have any expectations of what he would do, I just knew that he would benefit me.

I simply welcomed him into my crystalline family and honoured his work with me.

It all begins with intention. And it will all end with intention. 

Your minerals activate when you intend to activate them. As soon as you say “Welcome to my life.” As soon as you open yourself up, with or without words, to their delicate yet sturdy crystalline structure, you are activating them to work magic in your life. They begin in the subtle realms working into the physical realm in a process of perfect timing.

What else can you expect from slivers of unconditional love?

P.S.

The Andara’s arrive this week! Yay! I will post pictures. 🙂

sapphire - corundum-rough-4249144Sapphire, Spiritual Truth

As we slowly embody the breadth, the heartbeat, the knowledge, the knowingness of us, our beings, our truth, our service, we find that we expand and we open up to truly receive our spiritual truth. We find that we are now receiving that which we opened up to previously this month. We were in preparation for more clarity as to what our truth is even more, deeper, expanded. We have come into Being to receive this. We have allowed the weight to be lifted in order to rise into the frequency that we seek as our Spiritual Truth no more no less. We cannot argue with our truth anymore. There is nothing to argue. How do you argue against your Truth? How does anyone argue against a Person’s Truth? All Truth is Truth albeit some is more expanded than others.

Where are you going? What is your Truth? How have you expanded? How have you yelled, spoken, expressed your Real Being, Your Soul?

Tumbled-Petrified-Wood---Tumbled-Stones-06Petrified Wood, Past Life Embrace

I feel loose ends will be tied up for many of us this week. It feels like there are many completions through the world and on the planet of karmic cycles. Bring with you to these completions the knowledge that whatever has been completed can be continued freeing to the Beings involved to truly be as they are without any of the oddness that often comes with the karma between Beings. I see many lines lifted from the grids, many of them dissolved into the Crystalline Unconditional Love that Is.

I see many triangles forming the grids of Love, Peace and Harmony coming forward onto the Earth, and shifting the energies almost imperceptibly at this time. Feeling, think, and be Love as best you can. We are constantly climbing the Ladder of Consciousness. It is by focusing on the Godhead within that we find we move through this ladder easily and effortlessly. Remember always to say your prayers to yourselves and the Beings that are you working with you and through you.

We are all one.

I feel an openness occurring after the karmic cycles complete and another space is created but not to be filled. It is created to just be. Many of us will take on, if we have not already, more of a practice of Being and Surrendering. We have new visions and realigned with the heart space from last week, setting into motion many positive things inside our lives, and now we practice Being.

This does not mean stop moving or breathing or going. This means Be Here where you are, not in the past or the future, but in the Now. As best you can, return to the now as often as you can.

New Service! Moon Readings

moonreadingsHey there! I am launching a new service that I think is super awesome! Moon Readings!

Every New Moon and/or Full Moon you can receive a reading in timing with the Moon. I’ve found it to be an extremely beneficial practice in my life to do readings for myself in time with the moon.

For me, I’ve experienced being more in tune with nature in strange ways such as knowing when it will storm from just smelling the air or looking at the sky, a deeper appreciation of nature, and my moon cycle became regular and in tune with the moon.

It felt really good to be so connected to nature despite living inside a city. I would love to share this experience with you.

Check it out here! 

This month only I’ll be accepting clients for the next new moon until March 14th, only 2 days before the New Moon!

The Truth About the Tucson Gem Show | A Journal Post

tucson2

~ Sunburnt and High on Life ~

This past February I went to the Tucson Gem Show for the first time ever in my life.

And it was great.

It was beyond great. It was one of the best things I’ve done thus far in my life.

I learned a lot, connected with many in new and interesting ways, I began my journey as a buyer and seller of minerals. I felt my soul melt and come back alive again. I felt at home and understood in a way that I feel rarely understood where I am not.

And its not that I am not surrounded by amazing people. I am. All the time.

This was something different. For a week and a half I was on a high. I was doing all the things that I love and none of the things I dread doing in the sunny desert of Arizona. The weather lifted my moods much in the same way cloudy Vancouver can lower them. I found myself going fast with people I love whom I felt so at home with.

Landing in Vancouver afterwards was a shock to my system. I was exhausted, sun tanned and quite happily sick. Mission accomplished. Sitting on the skytrain to the current housesit I felt a blast of energy go through my body. I didn’t know what it was, and I still don’t know what it was, but when it hit me I couldn’t stop crying.

Homesickness struck me. Not for my Blood Family or where I grew up. I wasn’t craving the Islands, or the friends I have there, in Winnipeg, or in other areas of Canada. I was craving the family I felt I had left in the States, at the Gem Show. I was craving the sense of home I had this previous summer in San Francisco, the first city I have fallen in love with and written love letters to and all the people in that area I felt so at home with.

I realized with a force where my home is – an intention I had set almost one year ago.

Then I couldn’t stop crying for a good nine days.

It was as if each session of tears let something fall away. For those nine days my body was racked with emotional turmoil of mainly fear. The fear showed up in different ways with many different stories and versions of the fears that came up for me. I witnessed myself and creating stress as I dealt with finding a new place to live, receiving the minerals from the States, and money.

My emotions on a daily basis would swing within hours from regret to anger to low self-esteem to grief to straight up fear. Stories went on in my head as I contracted from the world, and decided to do what I needed to do and nothing more than that until my emotions stopped spinning me around in whatever transition or transformation this was.

As I came out of the experience I began to feel my cheery self coming a live again and able to be more fully present. I have slowly, day by day, felt much more able to handle the world and physicality again. I feel like I can be okay with the unknown – and there are so many unknowns and probabilities. I feel like I can be okay with the waxing and waning of life again. I feel like I can stand strong on my feet again.

Words haunt me from the mouths of others as I exit this process, whatever that was: You are beautiful. You are a Goddess. You are intimidating. You are powerful.

I practice now to feel my power, feel my aura, feel my impact on others. The better I can feel it the more awareness and consciousness I can bring to my interactions with others. I’ve only glimpsed my power twice in my life, stories for another day, and now I want to humbly know it so I can use it better to serve each person I encounter in my life.

My own words haunt me, the words I said to perhaps one or two good friends of mine: “I feel like when I come back from Tucson my whole life is going to be at a different frequency. Everything is going to shift and change.”

And it is. Fast. I witness the changes within myself, a gentle smile on my face in the most mundane moments of life, and feel so blessed to be where I am doing what I am.

There are many factors to the changes I see in me and one of them is the Kundalini Yoga course I’ve been doing since October. It has truly been transformational. I am honored and humble at the power of this technology, this world, the power of being a soul in a human being, and with just… everything in this moment and the last few days. I find myself spending more and more moments in that space – shifting, twirling, moving between human and soul and the many faces of each. <3
