Crystals for Release

Crystals for Release

by | Dec 1, 2018 | Crystals, Energetic Maintenance

The moon is waning right now, and generally speaking, the waning moon is always a spectacular time for release. To amplify the energy, we’re currently in the last complete moon cycle of the year, as the moon cycle beginning on December 6, 2018, won’t end until January 4, 2019. This gives us an amazing opportunity to release whatever isn’t serving us so that we begin 2019 with fresh energy, ideas, and attitudes.

If you aren’t sure what you want to release, make a list or talk it out. What consistent patterns have affected your friendships or romantic relationships in negative ways? Is there an emotional state that you’re prone to that causes miscommunication more often than not? Do you tend to be stubborn, jealous, angry, apathetic, timid, anxious, or sad? What can you shift in your life to minimize toxic feelings and create more happiness, love, joy, and abundance? Do you usually keep your thoughts positive, or do you frequently think thoughts that are catty, self-deprecating, or judgmental?

You may want to focus on shedding those physical possessions that aren’t in your best interest to hang onto, also. Clearing clutter from our homes is an amazing way to revamp the energy and allow the space for new developments to take place. Hanging onto clothes that you haven’t worn in 2 years? Donate them to a charity that helps the needy (but do your homework first – some charities like Dress for Success, the Vietnam Veteran’s Association, and the Salvation Army are rated highly, but others are not) or even sell them if you prefer. But get them out of your space. And while you’re at it, go through the rest of your things as well.

Work with any of the following crystals to help you release all that doesn’t serve you.

  • Bronzite
  • Shungite
  • Jet
  • Smoky Quartz
  • Amethyst
  • Black Obsidian
  • Gold Sheen, Silver Sheen, and Rainbow Sheen Obsidian
  • Heliodor (aka golden beryl)
  • Golden Apatite
  • Hematite
  • Ocean Jasper
  • Stichtite
  • Amber
  • Copal
  • Lithium Quartz
  • Lepidolite
  • Labradorite

  • Moss Agate
  • Petrified Wood
  • Garnet

  • Bloodstone (aka heliotrope)
  • Prehnite with Epidote
  • Dogtooth Calcite

 

Manifestation Crystals for 11/11

Manifestation Crystals for 11/11

by | Nov 11, 2018 | Crystals

Happy 11/11! Today is a magical day of manifestation that is perfect for setting objectives, determining plans, putting foundations into place, and visualizing and flowing toward all that you desire to have in your life. The things on which you focus are the things that you attract – today especially, focus on those things that you want to happen, rather than the things that you don’t.

What have you been yearning to do? What thoughts have been in the back of your mind, that you could and would only do if X, Y, or Z? What would happen if you set those conditions aside for a moment and instead focused on the achievement of your desires? Release the fear, doubt, and worry, and visualize the end result. Feel the feelings, get behind the new story, and take the action needed to make it happen.

While you’re manifesting, it can’t hurt to have a few crystals around. Below are some of my top crystals for manifestation. These are perfect to keep in your receptive hand while meditating or writing your list of goals; they’re also great to keep near you on a desk, in your pocket, or in your handbag as you’re taking action toward your desires.

  • Aqua Aura Quartz
  • Rainbow Aura Quartz
  • Clear Quartz
  • Herkimer Diamond
  • Green Aventurine
  • Natural Citrine
  • Gold
  • Copper
  • Chalcopyrite
  • Pyrite
  • Ruby
  • Phenacite
  • Moldavite
  • Libyan Gold Tektite
  • Meteorite
  • Rhodizite
  • Astrophyllite
  • Vanadinite
  • Zincite

 

Connecting with the Angels in Psychic Readings

Connecting with the Angels in Psychic Readings

by | Nov 10, 2018 | Angels & Ascended Masters, Crystals

Whether you’re a psychic reader delivering a reading or a consumer receiving a reading, you can work with certain crystals to more easily connect with your angels and guides and to your intuitive senses during a reading. I suggest pairing whatever crystals you choose with grounding crystals so that you remain anchored to the Earth at all times.

If you’re giving a reading, this can result in clearer messages, more accurate readings, and higher client satisfaction. If you’re receiving a reading, this may help your interpretation of the messages that you receive, your connection to your reader, and your sense of your guides’ energy during the process.

Always hold strong boundaries and make a non-negotiable rule that you are open only to those energies of the highest vibration and in your highest and best good.

During the reading, you may wear the crystals, hold them in your receptive hand (often your non-dominant hand), set them on the table near you, keep them in a pocket or bra, or stow them in a handbag or backpack close to you. The key is to have them within your auric field; within arm’s reach is usually a good bet.

The following crystals are all beneficial for psychic readings.

  • Cacoxenite
  • Chrysocolla
  • Chevron Amethyst
  • Lapis Lazuli
  • Shattuckite
  • Labradorite
  • Purple Anhydrite (Purple Angelite)
  • Rainbow Fluorite
  • Purple Fluorite
  • Rainbow Moonstone
  • Black Moonstone
  • Dumortierite
  • Charoite
  • Selenite
  • Hawk Eye
  • Clear Quartz
  • Super Seven
  • Lepidochrosite

 

Connecting with the Angels During Sleep

Connecting with the Angels During Sleep

by | Oct 7, 2018 | Angels & Ascended Masters, Crystals

You may have a few crystals for angelic communication,* and you may have tried meditating with them. But have you considered what else to do to with these crystals to connect with your angels further or in a different way?
 
One way to connect with your angels is to work with them while you sleep. For this, choose one or more of the crystals for angelic communication and sleep with the crystal(s) at your bedside or in your pillowcase (you may want to place them in a pouch so they don’t easily roll out of your pillowcase).
 
While holding your crystals before placing them, set the intention that these crystals help connect you with your angels so that you may download information or guidance during your sleep. Always retain the boundary to work with only those beings who have your highest and best interest in mind.
 
My favorite crystals to use to connect during sleep are angelite, celestite, apophyllite, chevron amethyst, and amethyst. Although crystals like danburite and clear quartz are great for connecting to one’s angels during meditation, they do not help with sleep.

Crystals for Shadow Work

Crystals for Shadow Work

by | Oct 6, 2018 | Crystals

It’s been a powerful year – release and regeneration have been the themes of 2018. In the process, many relationships, ways of being, communication styles, and other ingrained situations and habits have been considered, upended, and ultimately reformed or released entirely.

One consistency in all of this is that those things that have buried deep in our psyches have continued to come up in our lives – the stories, traumas, conditioning, worries, doubts, and secrets that we have tried so hard to push down keep rising for our examination. For those souls who haven’t been working continually to resolve lingering wounds, these issues are likely to have risen in an even more dramatic way, forcing heavy review. And as we prepare to head into Scorpio at the end of October, which rules the house of death and rebirth, those things that haven’t yet been addressed are likely to rise again for clearing.

How to deal? First, it’s remarkably important to address things head-on instead of pushing them down. Those facets of our being that we don’t like to acknowledge or express are collectively known as our “shadow,” and it’s essential with any self-love or spiritual practice to love all of ourselves, even the parts that we don’t normally rave about. The ultimate goal of “shadow work” is to bring those hidden pieces of ourselves into the light so that we can heal them and integrate them fully without shame.

But what if the memories, analysis, and healing get to be too much? Are there ways to alleviate some of the pressure or to cope? Absolutely. First, grounding is essential. If you don’t know much about grounding, here’s a link to a recent article that I wrote. Additionally, make sure that you’re getting adequate rest, drinking plenty of water, and eating nutritious foods so that you have the physical support to move past tough emotions and properly detoxify your body of the associated energy.

Next, pull out your crystals! As your shadow rises and forces your attention, work with the following crystals to uncover, illuminate, address, and shift the patterns and other issues that you need to heal. I also recommend carrying a grounding stone like black tourmaline or smoky quartz throughout this healing process.

 

  • Labradorite
  • Rainbow Moonstone
  • Black Moonstone
  • Rhodochrosite
  • Malachite
  • Kunzite
  • Hiddenite
  • Smithsonite, especially pink or green
  • Astrophyllite
  • Nuummite
  • Sardonyx
  • Onyx
  • Pyrite
  • Chalcopyrite
  • Copper
  • Amber
  • Turquoise, especially green
  • Rainbow Fluorite
  • Rainbow Calcite
  • Green Calcite
  • Citrine
  • Golden Healer Quartz
  • Smoky Quartz
  • Lithium Quartz
  • Lepidolite
  • Orthoceras Fossil
  • Stromatolite
  • Black Tourmaline
  • Dravite (Brown / Champagne Tourmaline)
  • Watermelon Tourmaline
  • Mookaite Jasper
  • Polychrome Jasper
  • Picasso Stone
  • Black Obsidian
  • Gold Sheen Obsidian
  • Silver Sheen Obsidian
  • Rainbow Sheen Obsidian
  • Platinum Sheen Obsidian
  • Apache Tears
  • Sapphire
  • Emerald
  • Heliodor
Crystals for Angelic Communication

Crystals for Angelic Communication

by | Sep 23, 2018 | Angels & Ascended Masters, Crystals

Crystals are amazing for enhancing angelic communication. To open up communication with your angels or with particular archangels, first enter a meditative state by sitting or lying down in a sacred space, breathing deeply, and letting go of your thoughts by focusing on your breath or on your body. As thoughts do come up, simply observe them; don’t force them away.
 
Once you feel sufficiently relaxed, call in your angels. Always hold the intention to work with only those beings of the highest love and light, who have your highest and best interest in mind. Pay attention to anything you see, hear, feel, or become aware of while in this state.
 
Below are just a few of the crystals that assist in angelic communication. If you’re drawn to others, listen to your intuition! There are many crystals that work well for this purpose.
  • Angelite
  • Selenite
  • Celestite
  • Charoite
  • Amethyst
  • Danburite
  • Apophyllite
  • Optical Calcite
  • Clear Quartz
  • Rutilated Quartz
  • Aqua Aura Quartz
  • Angel Aura Quartz
