Crystal Forecast May 25th – 31st | Green Tourmaline “Enlightenment”

 May 25th – 31st

Lifting the veils of illusion to come into more and deeper truth and authenticity is Green Tourmaline, subtitled “Enlightenment”. This is a wonderful card to end with this heart centred month. This card tells me that there is a time for truth and that time is now. It tells me that we are travelling through the Joy of the higher heart and now going deeper into the depths of our heart.

We are on a cycle where we go every deeper and deeper into the heart until it extends to our throat and our solar plexus. We then find ourselves aligning all three of those energy centres. We find that effortlessly and with ease the root and third eye take care of themselves, opening up and finding the balancing. Our bodies start to beat again to the Mother’s heart beat.

It is the reintroduction of boundless love that we shall find ourselves shifting into the communities we desire. Changes start at home and extend outwards. They always start within even when we don’t realize it and extend outwards to the rest of the world around us.

I feel that deep truths will be looked at and many subtle shifts will occur due to that deep truth. I feel that many of us will be impressed with our own wisdom that pours forth. I feel that deep resonance will be found for ourselves in the outward expression of our lives.

Managing Your Cords | Energetic Cord Management

cut-energy-cordsIf you read last weeks post, you were introduced to cords in a really great way. If you haven’t read it, read it first and then come back here because I don’t want to repeat myself! 🙂

Signs You Need to Clear Your Cords

Sometimes we have too many cords surrounding our energy bodies. Or sometimes we have one really big cord that drains us. Sometimes we are (unconsciously) draining others. Here are some signs that it might be a good idea for you to clear your cords:

  • You are constantly feeling fatigued no matter what you do
  • You are in relationships that take a lot of energy – you feel drained after encounters with certain people
  • You are obsessive about a person
  • You cannot stop thinking about a person no matter how hard you try
  • You find it a challenge to attract new people into your life on a consistent basis
  • You can’t seem to let go or get over someone (or an experience with someone)
  • You are overly influenced by another person

Chances are you need to cut your cords if:

  • You have recently experienced a painful break-up
  • You are in one or more unhealthy relationships you would like to shift

Benefits of Cutting/Clearing Your Cords

Cutting or clearing your cords are not the same thing as removing people from your life. You may feel you need to do that after you clear your cords in or order to remain a healthy person yourself. The cutting and clearing of cords can have some potent benefits:

  • You gain more clarity, insight, and awareness on the relationship
  • You become more objective in the relationship
  • If you have given away your power you take it back
  • And vice versa, if you have taken anyone’s power you give it back
  • You have the opportunity to become more yourself because other people aren’t tying up your energy
  • You have more energy
  • You will feel lighter
  • You will be less obsessive and focus more on your own stuff instead of others stuff.
  • It will be easier to release unwanted relationships
  • You will feel more yourself afterwards

How to Cut or Clear Your Cords

Most New Age Websites you will go to will talk about cutting your cords. I also talk about clearing your cords. There is a subtle difference between the two. I experience it like this: You cut your cords for those people that you no longer desire an energy exchange with. You clear your cords for those are in your life in an unhealthy way to create balance and a healthy way of being.

All relationships take work, and this to me, is an important aspect of being in relationship with another. Just as much as we need to take care the mental, emotional and physical aspects, we need to take care of the energetic aspects of our relationships.

Its really easy to clear or cut your cords. There are two ways I have used. Try it out before you give up – these are surprisingly easy and effective methods!

cord_cutting_ropeFirst Process – Clearing General Cords

1. Relax your body and your mind. Take a few moments to get comfortable and pay attention to your breath.
2. Scan your body to see where there is tension and pain. Where is it relaxed? Mentally take note.
3. Call in any Guides/Spirits/Beings you work with if you work with any. If you don’t work with any skip to the next step.
4. Set the intention that you are going to cut and clear your cords.
5. Ask to see (even if you didn’t call anyone in, ask yourself/subconscious/intuition to see) your cords.
6. Take a moment to feel and experience your body and its cords. See it, feel it, know it. Whatever your sensory perception is, it is true for you.
7. Ask that the cords that aren’t serving yourself or others in unconditional love are cleared and released (use any wording here that feels good for you). See/feel/know them falling away. Let them fall away.
8. Continue step 7 until you feel that all you can do for the moment is complete.
9. Thank yourself and any Beings you may have called in for their loving support.
10. Come back from the meditation gently and slowly.

Second Process – Cutting Cords With Intention

Steps 1 to 5 are the same as the first process.

1. Relax your body and your mind. Take a few moments to get comfortable and pay attention to your breath.
2. Scan your body to see where there is tension and pain. Where is it relaxed? Mentally take note.
3. Call in any Guides/Spirits/Beings you work with if you work with any. If you don’t work with any skip to the next step.
4. Set the intention that you are going to cut the cord to a specific individual.
5. Ask to see (even if you didn’t call anyone in, ask yourself/subconscious/intuition to see) the cord that connects you.
6. Take a moment to feel and experience your body the cord. See it, feel it, know it. Whatever your sensory perception is, it is true for you. What is going on with that cord? How is the energy flowing?
7. Visualize scissors or another sharp item and see it cut the cord. You may have to try several times, you may have to visualize light burning through it, softening it. Do what you need to do to cut that cord.
8. When the cord is complete put the cord connected to you back inside of you, and return the other part of the cord to the individual.
9. Make sure you give back the cord in the previous step before moving forward. This step ensures that the cords are permanently cut. Unless you choose to create the cord again.
10. Thank yourself and any Beings you may have called in for their loving support.
11. Come back from the meditation gently and slowly.

If you are having trouble with the process and would like help please email me.

Remember that the person you cut the cords to will feel it in the subtle realms. The more sensitive they are the more they will consciously feel it and react. Most people in my experience don’t really react, however, I have had a sensitive ex-boyfriend who definitely felt it. Afterwards there was a long redefinition of our relationship and how we relate to each other.

I cleared my cords with him particularly and cut the cords several times over in various ways. The more Will you bring to the practise the stronger it is. Each time brought further clarification for me about the different dynamics and unconscious patterns within the relationship.

Use these tools as often as you feel you need to. With practice it gets easier, and you will change the practices to match the way you perceive and work with energy. This is an invaluable skill in your journey of Energy Management.

The Dating Dance | The Energetic Side of a Date | Energetic Cords

online-dating-header2This is inspired by a post on one of the blogs that I follow who posted this here.

In this post I’d like to talk about a couple of things.

First I go over cords because this is all done through the cords. From my understanding, at the beginning of a relationship, most of the dating dance is done in the subtle realms. The physical realms help a lot, of course, however, the energy is potent and can make or break a relationship in my opinion.

The second part is an example of how the dance works. This post is written from a heterosexual point of view, but can be applied to any mixture of gender and couples. It’s all energies, frequencies, and connections.

Next week’s post will be about managing these energetic cords in healthy ways.

It seems to me that there is an energetic sensitivity that occurs between two people dancing the date dance. Every so often I’ve seen it in my head:

Myself and the man are walkie talkies set to our own frequency. Then we go out on a date together which shows us if our frequencies can match each other, if we can talk a similar language, if we can hear each other. Its a dance that comes to an end it seems when we part ways. But then, our frequencies have become attuned to each other. After that point, whether we know it or not, our subconscious and conscious ways of being will effect the result of that date. 

A Brief Lesson On Cords

Even though we are not in each others physical company we still have an energetic cord that has been created. This cord runs from me to him and him to me. It keeps us in tune with each other. And its often subconscious. This is why people say that if you think of someone often they are probably thinking about you. Or why your intuition can tell you more about a person in silence than when your with them.

Because of the cord that has been created you can tune into that person and feel what they are feeling. You get the inside scoop on what is going on for them. Which is probably why women always know when a man is cheating – its whether or not they want to admit it. We can feel where they are putting their time and energy. We are built for it.

But don’t worry men, you can tune into women as well we can tune into you. I’ve dated men who will take the time to tune into me, and I have to admit to you, its a huge selling point for me in a man.

Both parties in a relationship have the same access to the cord that connects you two.

Lets be clear about one thing about these cords: These cords run between you and other people ALL THE TIME.

The deeper and more intimate the relationship the stronger/bigger the cords is. The less depth to the relationship the less the cord is there. Cords are created between you and your family members, friends, work mates, team mates, the barista you received coffee from today, the beggar on the street… Absolutely everyone!

connectingsoulsCords are part of a natural process of life that allows us to develop deeper connections with those we desire to and to stay tuned into those people. The people that after several months of not talking to we want to call up and say “Hey” or the people that pop into our heads. “I needed to call George because I felt like something was wrong. It turns out that he had a terrible fall the other day and just got out of the hospital.”

Healthy cords allow us to feel connected and supported within the web of people that we know. We are in a constant state of giving and taking energetically. The cords allow the energy we need to come to us and the energy others need to be gifted to them in this constant flux.

Unhealthy cords create unhealthy tendencies in relationships. Some examples of these behaviours are the following:

  • an unhealthy obsession will occur
  • one person inside the relationship will be constantly fatigued (or if a person has several cords connecting in unhealthy ways then that person might be constantly tired)
  • a codependent relationship may occur
  • or a person will be almost addicted to another person.

It is because of the cord that is developed on a date that a sensitivity to another person is developed. The person at the other end of the cord can literally feel what you are putting out there. Are you putting out a desperate vibe? Are you putting out a i-liked-him-had-a-great-night-will-trust-that-he-calls-me-goes-about-my-day-vibe?

Whichever vibe you are feeding is what he will feel through the cord that connects the both of you.

And he will match his response to that vibe.

Just as you will match your response to his vibe.

In my experience, this is how unhealthy people enter into a relationship with other unhealthy people while healthy people attract healthy people.

If the frequency you put off when you are away from that person matches their blueprint (the way that perceive and function in relationships) that person will generally pursue the relationship.

An Example

I go on a date with a man and we match well. I feel really connected to him, and I feel the night has gone amazing. We may have even shared a kiss! When he drops me off, he says, “I’ll call you tomorrow.” I say, “Please do.” with a grin, and leave on a high.

If I am in an unhealthy state of mind I might be obsessively checking my phone, allowing whether or not he calls me to affect my mood. I may obsess for a few days before taking action and doing something about it. Perhaps I have been thinking about him non-stop. I may not be focused on what I am doing because I am so focused on him. Maybe even stop doing what I need to do because this has affected me so much.

The man feels this when he thinks about me. That’s all he has to do in order to tune into my energy. The more aware he is the more conscious information he will receive, however, he will still receive information in the subtle realms and respond appropriately for his blueprint.

If he is operating a healthy state of mind most likely in that extreme scenario he would not be interested in pursuing the relationship further. If he is in an unhealthy state of mind he would probably pursue the relationship as long as he felt that it could match the blueprint he holds for his relationships.

cordsIf I am in a healthy state of mind the next day then I would find myself not obsessing, but curious and open. I would be doing what I need to do with the glow of the possibility of new love. I would have patience to let it grow as it will grow and to nurture it into something.

There is a lack of attachment that the unhealthy state of mind often has – an attachment to fulfilling oneself in some way instead of allowing the relationship to be the cherry on to of an already fulfilling life.

A man operating from an unhealthy state of mind might pursue me but find himself quickly rejected due to the blueprint of what I perceive a healthy relationship. A man operating from a healthy state of mind might pursue me and we might find that even if the relationship doesn’t continue as lovers that we can be in relationship to each other in healthy ways.

That, to me, is the energetic dance of dating.

It’s something to think about and be aware of, but not something obsess over. It’s something to witness inside of yourself and consciously make choices about what kind of frequency you put out to increase the probability of what you desire coming true.

Think beyond just relationships with lovers. This is a micro view of a macro. This is a pattern that holds true for all areas of life. The frequency you put out will attract that in the subtle realms.

And its all learning.

Stay tuned for next weeks post on healthy ways to manage your cords.

5 Ways to Cleanse Your Crystals

So you have a shiny new friend and you are wondering what to do with it. Well, one of the first things that I used to recommend to all people is to cleanse the new crystal or gemstone that you have so its clean and shiny when you play with it.

Used to?

Through my continuous work with the mineral kingdom I’ve discovered that no crystal or gemstone or mineral needs to be cleansed or cleared. All of the minerals are little pockets of unconditional love, and nothing negative can live in unconditional love just as no virus can live in an alkaline environment. What this means is that each crystal contains the vibration of unconditional love and is always transmuting any energy lower than that which it encounters. Consistently. It never stops.

However when the mineral gets an overload of energy to transmute they do tend to break. So if you are doing a lot of work with a particular crystal (wearing it each day, using it daily, etc.) I recommend you take the time to cleanse it so your crystal stays in one piece! They tend to do their best work when they are feeling shiny, clean and loved, just like us. Remember, the mineral that your  holding contains a consciousness that is very different from ours. The mineral still enjoys being treated like the sacred being it is, just as we do.

This means that when we take the time to cleanse or clear our mineral we are doing a service to that mineral and helping it do its job more effectively and faster. We are showing the love and gratitude we have for the mineral giving its service here. The way minerals have described being left out under the moonlight is like a human going for a day at the spa. They feel loved, pampered, joyful, and ready to be of service again with a renewed zest.

MoonlightAnd that leads us to the first and most common way to clear minerals: By the light of the full moon.

The light of the full moon contains a particular energy that has been harnesssed for centuries by all sorts of mystics, alchemists, witches, yogis, and pretty much anyone who is in tune with natural cycles. The moon’s energy controls most of life on the planet, from the tides, to the cycles of each woman on the planet. The full moon is known as the time to release all that binds us and all that no longer serves us. Crystals are commonly left outside on the night of the full moon in a ritual type way so that the light can clear them. Minerals can also be left on a window’s ledge if you don’t trust the raccoons and crows. 🙂

By moonlight is the way to give your minerals the VIP treatment.

The second common way to clear minerals is with cold water. 

This is the process of washing the mineral under running cold water. Water has a cleansing effect and with the intention to release any energies that are not serving from the crystal most people find this to be an effective way of clearing a crystal. This method can be a bit dangerous if you don’t know about the crystal you are washing as there are minerals that will dissolve in water. You do not want to put selenite nor halite in water. For a full list of highly soluble minerals click here. For common somewhat soluble minerals click here.

This method is a good quick method that I’ve commonly used between crystal healing sessions.

Another common way to clear minerals is energetically. 

This is one of my personal favourite ways because it is easy, simple, and doesn’t require anything so it is ideal while travelling. For this one you hold the mineral in your hand and close your eyes. Imagine white light cleaning and clearing the crystal, travelling from Source into the middle of the mineral expanding outward. Continue to imagine this until you feel or know that the mineral is clean. For me I will see wolves running from the crystal. When there are no more wolves I know the mineral is clean. What happens for you may be different and is just as true.

This method may take some practice but comes in handy when travelling or when there is a lack of time to cleanse the minerals. The exercise can be expanded to include several minerals at once.

There is a method of leaving your minerals in the sun. This is a good way to clear minerals but there are some minerals that will actually loose their colour or shine with this method including amethyst, rose quartz, flourite, aquamarine, kunzite, smokey quartz, hiddenite, and spudumene. If you’ve done this already you may be able to bring out the colour again by rubbing a small amount of mineral oil into the mineral.

sageThe fifth way I will mention here to cleanse your minerals is to smudge them. 

This is an easy way of taking whatever your preferred smudge method is, and smudging the minerals you want clean. As per most methods it is up to you and your intuitive feelings to know when your minerals are clean. This is a subtle feeling or knowing, or just simply guessing when your first learning to listen and trust your intuition, that will tell you the mineral is clean.

You can’t “over-clean” a  mineral, nor can you “not clean it enough”. This is an additional step you can take to help the mineral be of more service to you. Even a little help is better than nothing.

These methods are the ones that I feel are easiest and most effective ways of clearing crystals. There are many more ways that you can cleanse your minerals that are much more ritual based including the use of herbs, burying the crystals, and using other minerals to cleanse minerals that you could research.

Keep in mind that there are three minerals that it is said never need to be cleansed. They are kyanite, citrine and selenite. These minerals can be placed touching other minerals and will clear them overnight.

Bonus Methods: Rice and Sea Salt. 

Placing the minerals in a bowl with rice or sea salt will clear minerals but in a different way than the ways mentioned above. Rice has a neutralizing effect. The mineral will feel more “in-balance” and often cleaner after sitting in rice (preferably submerged) for a few hours. With sea salt the crystals definitely feel clear after a few hours. The sea salt absorbs quickly any negative energy and rebalances, while often charging the mineral as well. I do not recommend eating the rice or salt afterwards as I’ve noticed that the rice often will change colour.

Happy Clearing!

What is the Feminine?

Hello all,

My blog schedule has definitely been off kilter the past couple of weeks. I decided to change my blog schedule to Tuesdays and Fridays, and then I moved, auditioned for Dragons Den, ran an Open House for Healers, and did a healing circle all in one week. Nonetheless, I was super busy and I’m still recovering. But what I have for you is an article written by one of my friends, Faeri, on the Feminine. I thought it was timely to learn about the feminine, and hopefully the masculine this month as V-day is coming up. I do hope you enjoy this guest post.

What is the Feminine? 

We hear the word feminine thrown around a lot these days. Over the years it has accumulated much baggage and extra meaning behind it. I’m writing this to hopefully clear up some mis-conceptions around the word and shed some new light upon how we can connect with feminine energy.

Everything has either a positive or negative charge. In the smallest atom there is a charge. With this view, there is no negative association to words being either type of charge. As both types of energies are required to make the world function.  Neither is better than the other they’re both just the energies of life.  This is the framework that the feminine and the masculine exist within.

Feminine is creation, expression and movement, flow. Feminine is love and light. It is another aspect of life.  Masculine is simply the guiding consciousness, the deep awareness that brings direction to the flow of the waters, the waters being the feminine. Neither is good nor bad, both are required, both are two sides of the same coin and to assume that one is better than the other is simply missing the point.They are balance and they are inherently needed for each of the other and neither can exist without the other. Just as energy cannot be created nor destroyed feminine cannot exist without the masculine and vice versa.

The thought that one can be of balanced and whole in both masculine and feminine energies within one’s self all of the time and have a sublime life experience is unfortunately a common misconception. If you are to imagine to magnets of opposite polarities at a distance pulling towards each other, that is how the feminine and masculine dynamic works: we need these opposing forces. Yet as such, it is that we are taught to believe to be whole, in the same we were taught to be following growing consumerism as bliss and yes we do get a sense of strange surreal fulfillment but our hearts do not sing as bliss in those moments.

This is not to say that we are entirely of one side of the other, everyone is a mix of both polarities. Being aware of which one you are in each moment is key, and allowing yourself to play in them, moving about to one side or the other feeling which one causes you the most sense of peace and bliss. As well finding in intimate relationships where your heart truly wants to be on the masculine side or the feminine side. This will help to keep the magnetism in the relationship. Be aware that masculine and feminine are not associated with gender at all. This is also a misconception.

Any being can be feminine, it is the energies of radiance, beauty, grace, love and light. A feminine person gets moved by stories of love, love triumphing over evil, or un-love. The fairy tale that twists and turns as two star crossed lovers go through every toil to be by each-other’s side. The feminine is brought alive by movement, by music, by life and variety.  Put on some really good music and a person with a feminine core will be unable to stop themselves from dancing. Or decadent desserts and delicious food. All of these things call to the feminine and bring it a sense of life and connection to the divine. Bring a feminine being a truly delicious concoction and allow them to feel into it with all of their being as they eat it. They will move and writhe and moan with the pure bliss of eating such a creation.

To a feminine being wearing a different set of shoes can mean the difference in feeling like a divine spark of radiant light, or another obligated dreary day. Clothing texture and shade call out, allowing different emotions and feelings to be expressed just through what is being worn. A feminine being can also feel all of this from others. They can feel those whom are having a bad day, their heart moves and their wisdom comes though in knowing just how to move and speak to soothe and cause the heart opening of those they feel. This is the gift of the feminine.

To be open as love, the divine love that they truly are in their deep core, and offer this gift to the world, and being this open being of love in service to others to bring them deeper into their open into true bliss. This can be a movement, a gesture, a kind word. Sometimes not even a single thing needs to be done beyond a smile and this opens someone into the feeling of the divine love that the feminine bring brings.

To practice being open as this love is a constant thing. Breathe as if your perfect lover were at your side in all moments. Move as though you were divine love moving to open the hearts of all those whom exist in the world. Practice breathing in and out love, sending it out with your eyes and heart. Moving as your soul is compelled feeling into those around you as to what motions will allow them to feel the divine in this very moment. To the feminine the best meditation is done with movement. It connects them to the divine, their bodies, and the love that they are. Dance with the intention to connect and be the divine love that courses through your every fiber of your being as a gift to all.

How do Psychics Tell the Future?

Have you ever wondered how it is possible for psychics to tell the future? Have you ever wondered how it works? How is it that a person can tell the future and it sometimes actually come true? What about all those people who claim to tell the future and it doesn’t come true?

When a client asks about the future in a reading this is what happens for me:

I feel all the various probabilities that are in existence for question. It’s very fast, and doesn’t take long because I only feel into the strongest possibilities. Those are the only ones that the client and I truly care about. It is the strongest possibility that I relate to the client. If there are several that are highly probable I tell the client all of them including with what will make each possibility happen.

Because the world we live in is energy, it is constantly shifting. The future is a finicky thing. If I knock over the salt today, maybe that’s changed everything and I simply am not aware of it.

Here’s a clip of Griffin from Men in Black 3, a character I love. He’s an awesome example of what it’s like to be a super strong conscious and aware psychic all the time. He’s always standing right on the edge of doing something because he can see all the probabilities but he doesn’t know how to act or what to do until the millisecond before the future comes true because its only then that he knows exactly which one is true.

Here’s a clip of him:

As Heraclitus infamously said: “Change is the only constant in life.”

I can only tell you possibilities, albeit the strongest possibilities.

Sunstone – The Lovers Heart (Solstice Stone)


This stone is one of masculine light. It shows and helps develop the strength and ability to let ones light shine brightly without worrying about others. This stone feels almost harsh when placed beside it’s oft thought of counterpart moonstone. And indeed they are partners in a lot of ways; however, it is not recommended that these stones are worked with together until one is fairly aware and knowledgeable in the masculine and feminine energies. Then we say to experience a full balance meditate with sunstone in the left hand and moonstone in the right hand. A powerful meditation.

This is a stone of inner strength and balance. As the feminine likes a flow this stone likes to help the masculine stay strong. For the user this stone will allow creativity, ideas, and ingenuity flow without losing direction, focus or interval guidance.

We call this stone the lovers’ heart because it represents it so perfectly in how this stone helps humanity in general. A lover’s heart is soft, forgiving, and full of excitement and acceptance. It fills us with a sense of peace, openness and adventure. A lover’s heart is also very strong, very bright, and knows what it wants. It may experience fears, but courage comes almost too easily to the lovers’ heart as does forgiveness it seems in many cases. All of these attributes sunstone helps to surface because those in love have always done great things. Those in love have bright fires that come alive. With or without a lover these states of being can come forth and sunstone will always help with that.

Sunstone also helps one know the timing of when to end begin something. This stone doesn’t like to hang out past the expiry date, nor does it like to begin too early. It likes, and will help all who work with him, to work in time with all the energies that surround you with a confident grace of inner knowing.

Keywords: Sunstone, masculine, moonstone, meditation, lover’s hearts, heart, energy, endings, beginnings, leadership, condfidence.

Chakra: Solar Plexus

Astrological Sign: Leo

This is a wonderful stone that brings out your light. With its red-yellow phosphorescent color it resembles labordorite and moonstone, but instead of looking inside, it promotes you to shine your light – bring what’s inside of you into the world.

This is a stone commonly associated with leadership as this stone values freedom, empowerment, and individuality. Sunstone harmonizes the world, and helps create a sense of worthiness, increasing self-esteem and self-confidence along the way. It offers protection and draws wealth while bringing optimism in all aspects to the user.

Sunstone helps one to become emotionally capable to take care of oneself instead of depending on others, and will help one to learn to nurture both others and oneself. It empowers the user by removing co-dependency and the tendency to procrastinate.

It is believed to powerfully bring abundance, good fortune, prosperity and protection to the user. Sunstone is believed to reinvigorate one’s health and strength. It’s commonly used now a-days to alleviate depression, seasonal affective disorder, anxiety and stress. Sunstone energizes and empowers one’s spirit, and brightens the soul.

raw sunstoneSunstone is often used in grids to help relieve aches, pain, cartilage problems, rheumatism, cramps, fevers, and other similar conditions.

Sunstone is an excellent stone to use to banish fears, nightmares, phobias, inhibitions and feelings of unworthiness. It has also been used to remove any unwanted or lingering energies.

Sunstone is associated with the Sun God Helios in Ancient Greece, and used to be placed on drinking vessels in order to prevent poisoning. It is the stone of Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun.

Sunstone has been used in the past by the Vikings to actually navigate by the position of the sun. True sunstone refracts light, which makes it possible to locate the sun in fog, cloudy days and storms. Sunstone has also been said to glow when contact is made with Spirit Guides, commonly being placed in the center of the medicine wheel by Native American Medicine Men.

This particular stone has been oft used in solstice celebrations and gatherings. I feel, this is not fact, simply what I feel from my channelling and research that if you celebrate Solstice it would be highly beneficial for you to place a piece of sunstone on your alter, and at some point take time to connect with the stone by sitting with it in meditation on the Solstice. All pieces of true sunstone (not aventurine or golden sunstone but true sunstone) contain within them a connection to the part of human consciousness that has been celebrating Solstice’s past, present and future. Meditation during the Solstice will automatically draw forth all of this knowledge, and it will be shared when used in ritual, bringing to the meditator exactly what they need to receive from the reserves of old wisdom.

Try meditating with Sunstone and let me know what happens. 🙂

Its Time to Find Soul Family

The long awaited mysterious date of December 21 2012 is fast approaching us. Shifts on all levels are being felt throughout the world, as curiousity of what this day will bring us comes to the forefront of human consciousness.

There is a growing number of people who believe that there is going to be a massive shift of consciousness on that day. New energies will swirl around us bringing with them swift and subtle changes on the planet effecting everything from plants and animals to humans and all that’s in between.

My dreams and my intuition keep giving me the same message over and over again and its time for me to share it on a more public level.

For me to include all of the information and explain it clearly this blog post is going to be split in two, and both will be posted this weekend.

First I am guided to share the dream I had a couple of nights ago:

A lover of mine sent me a video, a TedTalk, saying I had to watch it. I turned it on and found myself watching people in a forest. A man and his lover who were on horseback were central to the talk. They spoke about how its essential that all souls must find their light and prepare at this time.

Suddenly they began to run.

Beings from another place appeared that were humanlike until you reached their neck. They didn’t have a head or neck, but instead long electric blue snake heads came from that area.
The camera showed one of these beings facing the woman who was no longer on horseback. She had a deer caught in headlights look and wasn’t fighting the being. She disappeared and I knew she had been killed or eaten.

I knew that her soul was too pure to fight and she had not surrounded herself with those she needed to.

The man fought them off, and then turned to the audience and said “you must find your soul family. You must find those who can and will work with you and protect you. All of you must do this at this time. It’s the only way.”

I woke up with a bolt.

This dream didn’t invoke any feelings of fear, anger, danger, happiness, joy or bliss. It invoked feelings of urgency, of a need. And when I woke up, I immediately wanted to share it with people.

The next day I had another dream that told me to share this with people, and woke up with a jolt again.

So I began channeling, asking, what is it that the world needs to know most right now in regards to their soul families, in regards to this time, what is the message that I can bring at this time that will serve the highest good of all involved?

And this is what I got:

The most important thing right now for all people on this planet are to open up their hearts. You must find your light. You must let your light shine. And you must be open to following it to where it guides you.

We need our lights now more than anything. It is our inner lights that will guide us to where we need to be that day and those lights will guide us to each other.

Each persons heart that is open sends a tall beam of light energetically into space. It also send s a ripple through the ENTIRE energy field of the Earth. This is the signal to your soul family that you are ready. Everytime you open your heart the light and ripples get stronger. The easier it gets for you to find each other.

We need to be with very specific people for that time period of December 21 until December 23.

During that time it is highly important that we are with our soul families.

Together our families are strong, and together our families can protect and provide for each other in ways that we can’t do if we are not together. Our soul families are the most important people to us at this time because it is with them that we will be able to hang on to the new consciousness and actually create a world that is better than now.

It will allow us to capatilize on all the shifts and changes.

At this time, on your planet, a huge movement is happening at the energetic level that is helping people to discover their families effortlessly. It is not something people need to worry about or be overly concerned with. As long as you intend to meet your soul family you will. At first one by one and then they will flood you IF you are not already surrounded by soul family. Many of you will already know at least a few members.

Share your light. Live openly. Dance. Come close to your soul. Breathe. Love.

Affirmations – From an Energetic Perspective

I didn’t really get what affirmations were really about until recently. Strange I know. I simply never took the time to understand them and how they work.

Then over a period of a couple months affirmations came into my life strongly from all directions:

  • The class I was in did a class on affirmations and showed this movie with Louise L Hay.
  • The book I was reading, “A Millionaire Course” by Marc Allen, taught me how to create affirmations that match my goals.
  • A friend of mine is writing a book of affirmations in beautiful script.

And I found that during the challenges I was facing at the time, the one thing that kept me sane was affirmations. They weren’t anything fancy. When I caught myself saying something negative in my head I would counter it with the opposite thought said several times over.

It was effective, and so I decided to try out Marc Allen’s process. I figured I was reading the book, so why not try it? Through the process laid out in the book I created affirmations that totally matched my book. And I said them every single morning.

It was not long before I began to notice changes in my life. Most of them were subtle. But they were noticeable.

I began to attract people and situations that would set myself up for the exact life that I wanted. There is only one goal that I have yet to see movement on.

I didn’t change who I was or what I was doing. But each morning I put the energy out there that this was what I was creating, and that was the way it was going to be today.

A basic rule of the universe: Where you put your energy, you will see growth.

Words and thoughts are energy.

Every time you say a word, every time you think a thought, you are helping create something. That something could be anything – it could be your life, your home, your relationships, your world, your mindset, your dreams.

And like a plant, it will grow.

Waking up each morning and stating what it is that you desire to create most in your life, and stating who you want to be gives a focus to your day. It helps you to think positively, and it helps you to see the opportunities that are surrounding you big and small that will be a step to what you want to create.

There is a subtle mental shift that effects you on all levels when the words are spoken aloud. Most of us have experienced being excited about an idea and then one person – it doesn’t matter if it is a stranger or a person close to us – says one something that brings forth an idea of impossibility, or something similar. We feel deflated.

What happened there?

Here is a simplified possible picture:

You had an idea, something you’ve just begun thinking about, and it is like a baby. It can’t yet stand on its own. It has to be loved, caressed, and taken care of. It needs time grow so it can stand on its own feet. When it has grown more solid it will be able to withstand anybody’s words or thoughts that do not resonate with its creation.

I am not saying that no one can say anything negative. I am saying that when you have an idea, a newborn, you need to protect it for a time from everything outside. Then it will be able to withstand criticism healthy or not. Then it will be malleable instead of being like a dead leaf on a tree in the fall: the first wind that comes blows it down.

Let’s say for our example, the other person may frequently think in impossibilities. They may have been thinking like that for days, months or even years. Their words carry behind them all of the energy of every thought that supports what they’ve said to you. On top of that, their words might also carry energy from our society.

Energetically you have a small ball of energy, that has just been birthed, against a large ball of energy , that has had time to grow.

What do you think will happen?

Now lets say that you meet a person and tell them your idea. They go “That’s great! That’s fantastic! Tell me more!” And you do. As you tell them more and the conversation continues new ideas come up, people come up, ways to make the impossible become possible and it no longer seems or feels impossible. Your baby is growing up and getting strong.

Then you meet the person who thinks in impossibilities. They say it won’t be possible, and you can feel that arguing will be useless, even though you don’t believe them. You know your idea is possible in your heart of hearts, even though you might not know how. You know that it will work someday.

Energetically you’ve created a larger ball of energy that has witnessed a large ball of energy. Now both have seen each other and the smaller is strong enough and has chosen to step away from the fight and give itself space and time to grow.

Affirmations are like the person that you meet who say “That’s great! That’s Fantastic! Tell me more!” They are reminders of the possibility, of why you are here, of what you are working for and of all you are hoping to achieve and be with your life.

And every time you say and think them you are watering the seed of your idea. When your seed has grown large and strong enough it will be unveiled to the world. When it is unveiled it will be able to withstand all that comes at it as long as your vision and idea remains malleable.

The most effective affirmations are said with emotion while staying detached. Staying detached allows your idea and vision to be created most effectively in our world because more often than not there it can be created in a way than you ever thought possible.

It happens often in my life where I wanted something, became rigid with the how it was to be created, didn’t see it. As soon as I let go of it, and said this is where I want to be, I don’t know how its going to happen but it will happen, it did happen in a way more beautiful and better than I ever thought.

Affirmations are not your path, they are your vision.

Emotion adds more umph to the words, just like visualizing the affirmation coming true adds more energy to the seed. All of these things provide water, sunlight and nutrients to your affirmations.

Slowly but surely with daily use you will begin to witness your affirmations coming true, and notice beliefs shifting inside of you to allow them to come true.

A New Perspective On “Low” Vibrational Energy

“It seems to me that you are experiencing a lot of low vibrations right now. Experiencing low vibrations helps us to adapt and handle them better. They can be hard to deal with because they can be terrifying, sad, or bring up anger. Your body both physically and energetically is not just being attacked by them, but is also developing a better way of handling and experiencing them.”

The above statement was made by a wise mentor of mine when we met over tea the other day. I couldn’t get it out of my head.

I’ve read volumes of books on energy work, and scores of articles on the internet about the topic. I’ve spoken to hundreds of healers and teachers over the years. Not one of them have expressed this as clearly, if ever, as my mentor did in a few short sentences.

When I think about it this statement makes perfect sense. Whenever we are put in situations repeatedly we naturally adapt. We don’t have to think about it because our bodies and subconscious will guide us using whatever tools we have given ourselves. Sometimes people end up with patterns that aren’t the healthiest; most often we end up much stronger than we were.

I feel this statement is important for people who are practising any form of energy work.

Many times, in my experience, on the spiritual path it can feel like we are being thrust into situations that we would really not like to go. We begin to wonder why this is happening? We’ve done so much work on our path yet we still need to go through this? What are the lessons here for me? Perhaps its not necessarily the lessons for you that are most important but what you can give to the situation because of your spiritual work.

Often I hear and read about how we must remove ourselves from “negative” or “low” energies so we can move forward easier and be lighter. It is true that its much easier to move forward when we are surrounded by vibrations that are positive and light. And it is also true that we must remove ourselves from energies that are holding us back.

At a certain point in our growth we must use our light to transmute the darkness and negativity within AND outside each one of us. Our auras naturally do this work when we are vibrating high enough to do so. At this point we no longer take on other people’s stuff simply because its being transmuted before it reaches our physical bodies.

We begin to do this when we stop taking on people’s stuff and allow them to experience their healing, when we have complete acceptance and do not judge but offer only love, when we are grounded and centred firmly inside of ourselves. Then we are like a lamp post in a dark and snowy night for those who are vibrating “lower” than ourselves.

This is also a skill that can be practised  We start small, taking a little part of us maybe, or perhaps a room, maybe what we accidentally took on from a person we interacted with, and visualize us transmuting the energy, however that looks to you. For me it is very similar to what was shown to me in a vision I received for a few weeks this past summer…

More than once a day, I received an image of different Ascended Masters sitting in meditation. It seemed these Masters were sitting in an ocean. All the thoughts and visions on the Earth were swimming by at various speeds in different shapes and sizes. The Master would pick out one that might be zooming by or one that is slowly floating around with a black blob attached to it. The thought-form would enter his aura and sometimes his body. As it passed through his aura and body the thought-form would be transmuted into a shining bright light.

When I finally understood that this is the mission of many light workers on this planet, and specifically one of my tasks here the image stopped coming. I realize now writing this post that I received that image as a guide to where my life circumstances would soon put me. It is a skill I can practice in any life situation.

My mentor is right: “Low” vibrations can be hard to deal with. For me they usually bring up emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness. Others may experience other emotions, however any emotions, positive or negative, when strong, can knock us off our center. For me I begin to disassociate and look for escapes.

Perhaps it is best in these times to do the self-care practices that ground and center us as often as needed and remember: we are experiencing these vibrations to prepare us further for our soul’s work and journey. We are getting stronger by the moment and as we stay centered and grounded we are helping all we encounter by subtly transmuting any low energies we encounter in them, our surroundings and in us.

I see now these experiences with low-vibrational energies help us practice joy and open-heartedness no matter what situation or circumstances we are in. It is key in our spiritual development that we are able to bring our spirituality into all parts of our lives no matter what is happening.
