CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: November 24, 2009

Amethyst

There are times when we just sit down to dinner and the phone rings.  In those moments we may think, why are people calling me during dinner?  As we are pondering that quandary the doorbell rings and we forget that we left the door unlocked and 30 people and things rush through the door and begin chowing down on our deliciously prepared meal.  They have no regard for the time it took to sauté the veggies or marinate the meat they just devour all in sight.  All the while the phone keeps ringing.  We don’t know weather to scream at all these things or laugh.  The episode keeps going to our dismay and they begin to take all the furniture out of the house.  Everything you own is leaving out the front door.  Poof suddenly you are alone in a quite room.  What now?

With the continued trauma from these events find amethyst.  You’d probably be sweating, confused, aghast, and in shock as to what the hell just happened right in front of your eyes.  The story will replay endlessly as you try and put ground back under your feet and solidify the reality of the situation.  The brain will be exerting itself and you will just be lost.  Lost.  Lost.  Lost.  Lost.  With any stillness find that amethyst and return to yourself.  It will bring the calming affects of the mind, body and soul.  You will be able to sit with all that just happened and know that it is part of this existence.  You could run around screaming and cursing the world and taking your story down the street proclaiming it to everyone.  If we choose this route what exactly are we doing?  We are feeding something that no longer exists.  We are spreading its torment to everyone.  We are trying to bring ourselves back instead of accepting the openness of what has just been created.  If we keep grasping for something then we can fall short from expectation.  We forget that in the infinite of space there is nothing to grab onto.  It just is.  Stop and remember to breathe.

There is a lot at work this week.  We are aligning with some powerful celestial forces in the universe.  Everything seems to just be out there.  Its all happening folks.  When chaos occurs what do we do then?  We can embrace it or run from it.  If we are able to just be in the moment with what is happening even if its beyond our control and epic in proportion to anything we’ve experienced before, then great.  We’ve reached a point of understanding that can be used to transform our future into light.  We take on the suffering for not just ourselves but for the collective and breathe out love for easing this feeling in everyone.  If we run from it no one benefits and we just become blind and ignorant.  Its the places that scare us that bring us healing.  I’m not saying go out looking and creating these things for yourself, just be aware that life has everything in it.  Anything and everything can happen and as we wake up to our existence we see so much more than we could ever think possible.  Its not just another day but it is just another day and how exciting is that.  To live each thing that we do with so much fervor would make everything exciting.  Its all here so we might as well enjoy it.  Shift your perspective and change your life.

Make a decision under the influence of amethyst is a beneficial thing to do.  It allows us to connect with our common sense, still our mind, connect to source, relax to motivate us and set realistic goals for ourselves.  Doesn’t that sound great during this time of mass confusion and all the holiday hubbub?  We don’t need anything but this moment right NOW.  That’s the greatest gift of all.  As we learn to embrace life then we use the energy taken to run from it and apply it to shifting and transforming it all into light.

In each moment we keep reaching for that one thing that will make it all better.  Most of the time its something outside of us.  We are taught to reach and attain things in order to be content with existence when really we are only contributing to an endless push and pull of struggle.  Ah I see I’m reaching for this.  I feel I need this in order to make it all better but when we feel its better there is something else so the story keeps on flowing.  When you look back in your journal you see its the same story that you’ve written there for years.  Break the cycle over time with love and know that there are things to help us but we start with love.

May the winds of change continue to propel us forward with patience and compassion.  There is no need to solidify anything in this life just be in the stillness of the now.  We spend so much time trying to create things and understand it that we forget that we are living it.  All of a sudden the day is gone.  And if you really think about it we have traveled a long way even if you have never left your house.  The Earth is in a constant state of propulsion spinning endless through the universe.  We are always moving so give yourself a break and relax into the stillness even if its for a hot minute or too.  When we allow the space to be then we have openness for potential to arrive and off we go again. Woah stop and look around and feel all that there is that’s happening right now.

These times we can test ourselves and see what triggers us.  In the moment is our test to see if what we’ve been working on is a bunch of lip service or practice in motion.  In those moments everything may feel fleeting and useless but with compassion and the releasing of the need for struggle we are open to life.  Let it be and you will see what it really is.  Cause even if you think it really is that may not really be it at all.  Relax as it is.

We learn so much everyday on the road of the warrior.  We honor who we are in every second to create a future of light.  We engage in the art of peace.  Our goal is to ease suffering for humanity, first starting with ourselves and being able to extend from there.  All our light spreads especially if we refract the light through the crystal and it bounces in a million directions.  Embrace the rainbow inside.  You are exactly where you need to be and are doing great.  Life has moments of pleasure and hardships and when we allow all to be and embrace ourselves in each of them we no longer struggle in the creation of only one type of thing.  When we break down the duality in life all becomes one.  Its all parts of the same whole and struggling becomes less and less. We can sit finally with ourselves even when our house has been swept clean.  We will learn till the day we die then something else will pop up.

I love you.

Song of the week: “All We Are.” by One Republic

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: November 16, 2009

Rose Quartz

We love with walk.  In time we see all there is but still don’t know anything for all is gone in one moment.  We reach for what we think we know and there is nothing there.  We see what we thought we saw and only a shadow remains.  We just digest the feeling and laugh in the face of oblivion.  With this moment to sit and ponder all there is to ponder will twist your stomach into knots and what then?  There will just be a knot but no end in sight to pull.  Let it drop.  Find it there.  The unconditional love concept existent in the whole of nothingness.  One is never alone because one is connected to everything.  With light I walk.  In time I will see the nothingness that is set right in front of me.  I still stop struggle and awaken my heart.  I will hear your thoughts and no longer gasp with fear that I won’t make it or that someone will be mad.  Everyone will be everything which is neither good nor is it bad.  We waste our time in the frustration of this and that and forget that life is going to be over when our heart stops beating.  Then what?  Where will we be?  Not in the same space as we were before if we allow all that there is to be.  We find our soft pink insides as we clutch our hearts.  We may work backwards in time which may not even make sense until we are in mid step but even then we walk forward.  And have given you that power and forgot myself.  We shift the sand and find the gold but not after we lost what we just wanted to hold.  With life comes exhalation and in death comes who knows what so lets dance in the electric temple until the dawn breaks and we see whats what.  I cannot ask for more that what just is but I do in the transformation of all beings.  If we lose our way we are exactly where we need to be.  We find our pink crystal calling to me.  We feel the current sliding through my veins and connect to the primal self of perpetual creation.  Explodes out the juice of our flavor into the seed of the sky and drown in our sorrows if we ever fly to high but we always comes down and if we fall to hard.  Its ok for we can create all that which seems impossible and find new even when we have no ground but soft pink light.  And we stand in a palm of a giant man who stares down at us and we just don’t understand.  It’ll just keep going but feel the softness within during all this trauma and find the lion heart within.  We will love ourselves through all of this and even if lost we find our bliss in the infinite beauty that exists in time no time and space.

There is no magic potion just work to be done as I dance through the endless and live through all that has been done.  There is no escape in all of this but just tenderness and love.  So I send my message on the wings of the dove.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: November 9, 2009

Moonstone

I stand here and feel like the dancing Shiva.  Except as I stand and dance I’m balancing so many things all with my many limbs.  Being in it I’m used to it for when something tips I adjust to make it work or put things down in order to maintain balance to the best of my abilities at times.  Really do I not see the breadth of what I maintain until I step back and am able to see the picture in its entirety.  I get stuck and focus on energy all on one particular area and notice later that something else is beginning to wither.  And I may get to a point when the fumes are to much for me and I shut it all off completely.  Its very natural for we all do it.  Its easier to sit down and turn it all off but we have to remember it takes practice to strengthen muscles to keep all these things we would like to cultivate in our lives healthy.  I do need to step back at times and take inventory of everything because not everything that I am holding are things that I want to carry with me.  I sit and rest and observe calmly.  For when we observe our lives objectively they just are and carry no weight to perpetuate them further in any direction.  Its just a snap shot so I can be aware because I do far more than I think.  With all these pieces things can be pushed back and still linger so if there are to many things I may need to do less.  Less is more.

I will always learn more to shine brighter, become more enlightened, aware and awake.  Its important to remember that if we seek to better ourselves out of the motivation that everything will run smoothly and we will never be hurt we fall into this delusional theory.  Everything is happening and will continue to happen on a world that is in constant movement.  I am here right now.  When enlightened there will still be change and positive and negative will emerge but its all the same in the sense that something will come up and then it will dissipate.  When we hold no judgment then we are no longer stuck in reaching for two extremes and can just be here.  This finds us in a difficult situation because we don’t want to reach for pain and yet it occurs we only want pleasure.  Even if you lived in a bubble pain would find you.  We accepted this coming into this life for even the pain of childbirth can be immense but the creation of a new being is wow.

Can you live in a world without judgment?  Everything around us is judging something or someone and its all projected from feelings of judging one’s self so harshly.  Its wild, people make a living out of judging others.  It becomes a science and its really us constricting our existence in order to have some sort of grasp on what the hell is happening here.  Making others feel worse so we can feel better about ourselves.  We want to make something familiar in order to not feel that we really don’t have our shit together.  We may never get all of our ducks in a row cause someone may come up and smash one into a billion little pieces with a hammer and what then?  That means we have to live in the land of uncertainty.  EEEEEK!!!  You want me to do what?  You want me to live in a world where things are not just so.  Where the portions are not perfectly enough, the pillow is not soft under my head, and there’s no tv, music or vodka.

I ask you this.  Do you know the future?  If yes then you have a special gift but in reality we can set intentions, work towards them and release them into the universe but we do not know what will come.  There is a plan we just cannot make heads or tails of it so we constrict ourselves by thinking we need to know everything.  What happens when you learn everything there is to learn?  Sounds like it would be boring after that…

We all can live in the grey between all the emotions and knowing and not knowing anything at all.  This space between everything exists.  Its the center of the Venn diagram.  There is overlap of these two extremes and we are not running from either.  When we allow both to be present and exist in their wholeness we are not thrown off when one knocks us off our feet because we allowed it to be what it is.

We are always so unsatisfied because we constantly need to know, have order and cannot allow things to just be.  We sometimes we even willingly switch onto autopilot.  Order is wonderful believe me but its a matter of perspective.  This is when people’s lives come crashing down.  They believe in the order, its always going to be there and people will take care of me but when something happens the bomb takes out everything including everything we thought we knew about anything.  We have to rebuild from the ground up.  We cannot control and always have everything exactly the way it needs to be and done exactly this way.  There is no creativity in this existence just restriction and allows no breath just static regiment.  As we find our connection to the water element and the tides we are able to see that we can be flexible with others and ourselves.  Your world will not crumble if we allow it all to exist.

The medicine of Moonstone teaches us about new beginnings.  Whenever one thing ends another begins.  We can see what has happened and now create the future.  We are in a constant folding and unfolding of everything.  We find joy in accomplishment but we just need to be ready for a new adventure.  Allow the time it takes for each thing to play its course.  And as I’ve said before things may take no time at all to release but it depends on how intricate the web is that we’ve wrapped ourselves up in.  When we just let it be with love and patience it loosens which allows space.  The second we put a hand on it we manipulate its true authenticity.  With new openness we have the potential to fill it with whatever we so choose.  If we continue to stress ourselves out about it all, moonstone reminds us to be peaceful and calms the emotions.  It reminds us to look up and see the moon and how it changes every night.  With each new diverse shape it makes comes different energies, tides and discoveries.  As we ease into it we can sit with the parts of us that scare us.  We can merge the masculine and feminine qualities in ourselves.  We can learn to meld the two by exploring the Sanskrit mantras of the feminine Gayatri Mantra and the masculine Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra.  By chanting these mantras we are able to open the energetic field using the Gayatri mantra and instigate new change with the Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra.

If we are afraid of one part of who we are it keeps us tied into stress and not feeling accepted on a greater whole.  To become aware with love of who we are and our gifts we will soften and acknowledge the human existence with empathy.  The vibration current travels along the line and may even reach people we never even thought we knew.  There is no way to avoid the fact that we are all one.  It is all pieces of a global me, you and us together.  If there is ever a time you feel lonely just return home.  When we break it all down and allow ourselves to see that we are fragile, little but strong and capable and just sit with it all the weight lifts.  The heart slows down when we exhale so quit holding your breath.  In your own time it will keep getting clearer but do it all with love.

When moonstones are held up to the light they change.  They flash a bright amazing blue or even reflect all the colors of the rainbow.  This reminds us to hold ourselves up and into the light so that we may shine our magic on the entire world around us.  It’s a huge surprise when this shift occurs and we may even shock ourselves with our own unique brilliance.  This is a natural color shift that is created for this crystal from birth out of the Earth.  Each and every one of us is brilliant.

Moonstone teaches us to digest this life.  It will let us assimilate all the pieces we need and pass the stuff we do not.  When we stress ourselves out we tie our stomach literary into knots.  Calm down.  You are going to die.  It is ok.  Death is our ultimate change and huge fear.  It means we lose everything.  It looms over our head so we try and run from it but like the moon it is always there no matter how fast we run.  We say NO to this ultimate unknown but really we do not even know what the next second will bring.  We may think we know but we don’t.  It just is.  When we find satisfaction in it just being it right now we no longer freak out over everything.  I know when it comes down to it, its easier said than done.  When we feed the emotions so strongly then we forget our practice because it seems pitiful in comparison to the massive emotion that has engulfed our being.  Its like the Venus fly trap in Little Shop of Horrors.  Feed me it says over and over again.  Let me grown bigger and stronger to consume your entire life.  Even if you move it’ll still be there.  Things travel with us they just take different faces and names but until we fully have learned everything there is to learn from them they will hang about.  This takes work to investigate all the parts of ourselves we may not want to look at.  When someone is put into our scope, we put him or her there in order to learn something about who we are.  Until we recognize what that is in us and start to shift it, don’t be surprised when you get an email, phone call or they show up right on your doorstep.

Ahhhhhh!!!! Exhale.  Its not all that bad.  We made this choice.  If we didn’t want to feel anything we’d have chosen to be a rock.  The complexity of us is so complex and yet oh so very simple when we break it down.  I am enough right now.  Its all there is.  Its calming to the ears and heart.  It reminds us oh yeah I am.  Ok cool so lets just be and get to work, or go frolic in the forest.  When you embody totally that you are enough you no longer seek outside for satisfaction and fulfillment.  There is no longer a need to hide.  We are always connected in all moments.  None of these things we reach for will fulfill us because we cannot expect anything of anyone.  When we find ourselves making expectations or feeling we need something in return then we are lost.  One of the hardest things is to be shot down.  When we hold expectations for others we have to remember we cannot control another human being and when we do we are constricting not only them but ourselves too.  I am not perfect nor are you.  Even the most enlightened person isn’t perfect.  We are narrowing our plane of existence down to nothing.  Instead of letting it breathe.  I constantly have expectations of acceptance if I do something for others and it doesn’t always go according to plan.  We keep shinning and move forward but notice our motivation and if we are holding expectations in order to gain some form of fulfillment.  Allow light and love to enter your being and you will be surprised at what occurs.  Touch the compassionate heart inside and see the depth of the universe.

There’s a great big world out there and we find a window but it is to high up.  We can feel the light and adventure outside and even smell the air.  But we just can’t get up to it.  It smells so sweet and wonderful.  So we cry and try to get up there but we cannot find a way, but maybe a few short feet to one side is a box that we can jump on and may extend to the window.  We can find another way but if we get stuck and still cannot reach our desired destination we cry and cry.  We can always return home to love and when we live in the world of none attachment we’ll jump down.  And see something fun on the floor to play with and off we go to try something new.

Yesterday was 11:11.09.  11:11 is a very angelic number filled with much mystery and energy.  We are now in the flow of the next two weeks of our lives.  When the energy is focused and concentrated towards a desired goal or intentions we are given a boost in energy to manifest or begin the manifestation process.  Take time to set your intentions and sit with your higher self.  Find that the flow is easier when we just step into the current and off we go.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: November 2, 2009

Iron Pyrite

I’m walking across a narrow bridge that is suspended over a deep chasm.  The ropes are very old and covered in moss while the wood planks I walk across creek and feel at times as if they are going to split in two from my weight.  I’ve been traveling down this road for sometime now.  Long enough to feel that turning back is not an option for the land is far away.  I understand and see a light ahead of me yet fog comes in and out of my periphery.  Below me is gray air with sounds of howls and shrieks echoing off the walls of the deep trench.  At times they freak me out and I find myself clutching onto myself, and my Iron Pyrite for protection.  These creatures could be anything from past memories to future fears but I remember where I am in the universe and breathe.  I have an opportunity to make friends with these things that scare me because I refuse to keep hiding and on this bridge there is no where to hide.  I do feel the sun quite often and hear the calls of birds and wild cats as they journey through other lands on the plains far away.  I feel protected with my crystal in hand who reminds me of the inner energy and fortitude we all possess.  I am able with finding my still point even while on unsteady ground that the root of dis-ease will surface and be transformed.  Much that has been hidden poofs up to rear its head, growl and foam at the mouth.  When I see these things there is the choice to run and let that just disappear again into the subconscious to do whatever it will do there or embrace the fact that this has been put here for a reason.  The higher self presents things when we ask or if we are working to uncover the mystery and unlock our frozen parts.  We have confidence in our ability if we just accept the plain and simple fact that we are sentient beings who have been created and have a choice in our destiny.  We make the choices of where we reside, whom we reside with, where we are going and who we are.  We say yes to all these things but if we let our energy leak we discover things that are not ours and the energy becomes muddled and confused.  Its when we need to sit down with ourselves to see the deeper meaning.  When things get crazy we do all that we can to avoid the present and our underlying feelings of reality.  If we begin to operate in a land of allowing all to be and knowing our motivations for life we can soften with greater awareness and less struggle.  We all will and are going to make mistakes in this life but the true message that comes from a mistake is giving one’s self the compassion, love and understanding that we are a child of the universe who is allowed to be human.  The test of seeing the error of our ways and finding the love inside to give others even if we have things we try to hide or are unappreciative of.

We want to find things that make us expand.

Deep down we all want to be loved.  We all do not want to feel alone and abandoned by God, parents, friends, lovers, anyone so we seek.  But when we seek do we realize that we are looking outside ourselves for some ever-lasting sweetness or do we have that ever present and infinite internal.  Or are we discovering awareness and knowing where we are at and if we are holding ourselves back.  If we feel lost now just wait it is going to feel so good when we are found (its us this whole time) and BOOM we take off.  We all learn in time who we are meant to be but throughout this process we need to accept where we are at while still holding positive light and intention for the future.  We can send it out the universe and try as we might but really we do not know what will come because its all a part of the greater plan.  Love is greater than you and I.  Love, even when not present physical exists if we allow it to be.  If love needs to inhabit a physical form then allow it to be what it is and let it grow until its time to be what it is fully in the beauty and splendor of any moment that will come.  When we connect to the grid we see we are all one and with each little change we create by staring ourselves in the eyes each day we will see our true colors.  Reflecting, brown, green, blue, hazel, and dare to peer into the blackness of our infinite we find strength to carry on and keep walking down wherever road we are on.  We are all in different spots and no one is being left behind.  If we do not like where we are at see it, proclaim it, release it, trust, work and change to embrace our divinity fully.  In the darkest of moments it is our chance to embrace in all directions but find our crystal to feel balance, discover our gifts deeper, feel our confidence, and relax.  To dream is not a distortion of reality.  It’s a quest for knowledge and a commitment to our being along our journey.  To feel alone is an opportunity to touch the vastness of our own heart.  Reach for it and it touches something if you let it be.  This is it.

Now is all we have.  Do with it what you will that my friend is up to you.  Know we all have the capacity to touch peoples souls for the highest and best good of humanity.  Look at the people who have made a change not just for themselves but for the universe.  Love.  We can all be a hero but a true hero knows that even if they only touch the heart of one person then they have done their job.  May everyone feel their own magic.

I’m going to make a change.  Easy, hard it’s all in the cards.  Sounds like this board below my feet may give out so I take another step…

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: October 27, 2009

Lepidolite

A purple hue expands over me.  A healing power of self-knowing resides upon my crown.  Inside each of us is an evolving being is constant transition.  Every moment is a transition into the next.  As we take a step we are in motion already starting the next step.  Some follow in line without thinking that there are transitions happening.  Others question the entire fabric of time space.  Some keep quite and others find stillness in a world of constant flux.  There are times when we achieve things and times we do not but even when we get to our “final destination” there is always another ship waiting at port to keep us flowing along our journey.

Of course stress, pollution and blockages will set themselves on all sides of you at times, but we can remember that everything ends.  It’s the purpose of everything to be recognized and acknowledged, but what we do with it is up to us.  Our mind can create the tiniest thought into a giant fiery Zeppelin.  Things are not always as they seem so if we think something has ended it maybe just beginning.  Or we could receive some other invitation dropped on our pillow by a little mouse.  A line I hear at times is, “be happy you have a problem for you have something to work on.”  This “problem” may not even be a problem at all but an opportunity to open us up to the divine and learn something new about who we are and how we operate.  Its all a matter of perspective.  Change your perspective and change your life.  We cannot remain attached to any perspective, or thought if we are actually staying present with each situation and allowing ourselves to move with the flow of what is.  We learn as we grow how we operate and we gain greater insight into our being so that we can help ourselves.  Once we’ve become a master at helping ourselves we can help others to grow in a garden of love.  We gain awareness of our triggers and observe our actions as we float.  Life is a constant peeling back of layers for there is simplicity in all this.

Have you ever asked yourself what love is?  Can love be described in words?  Its a feeling so it has to be felt.  Love is just so simple and there is no need to complicate it.  It seems to be our driving factor in life.  We want love, to feel love, to love, and be loved in return.  Its everywhere.  In art, to music, our motivation for things, its driven by this feeling.  Others step in.  The opposite of love is fear.  Releasing fear and sending it back to the past allows space to fill with love but we have to first recognize our fears.  A huge fear that people have is the fear of death.  They have a fear of death in all facets.  First we have to realize we are going to die.  Live like your dieing is a beautiful way to live.  Embrace it.  Death is the ultimate unknown.  We do not know what it is so it scares us.  Really we do not know what anything will be the only thing that is real is happening right now in this very moment.  We can speculate what it could be like on “the other side.”  In all actuality we will not know until we get there and then may have burned all that there is in transition of our ascension.  See its all a transition into another realm.  Its constant so let them all come in and float and swim with them.  At times we get stuck in the undertow but what happens when you panic?  You die.  If you release all control who knows what may happen, but if you panic you fight that which you cannot control and the outcome could be grim.  Its taking a chance on the unknown, the hollowness of time and the groundedlessness of reality.  Life is the dedication to the process of discovery of truth.  All is constant change which means effort and energy will be set forth in order to forge ahead.  Keep stepping forward little solider but march to your own drum beat and relax, trust and change.

The winds of change are upon us.  They sweep through the hills and valleys sending messages to our ears from lands afar.  If we brave to stand outside and listen we maybe pleasantly surprised.  But we have to quite down the ever-moving internal and external world so that we can listen.  Notice what is changing and trust the universe has a greater plan for all this than our little bubble of existence.  We are directors, producers and observers of our own journey and pull in our supporting cast from all over but its noticing what we can and do not control and we can start with setting our vibration everyday.  When we accept ourselves fully in each moment we no longer hold ourselves back.  We can finally release and relax into the idea that there is death with each exhale so each moment is inherently perfect as what it is.

We travel down this long corridor with doors on each side.  There is light in places from lanterns on the walls and its up to us to decide which door we are to take and see where that will go.  We ask, is it time to freeze and not try any door?  You can see where that takes you.  Nowhere….  Do we run screaming opening all the doors as we run by and not even look inside or look back to see if anything is now following us?  Or do we take the time to get in touch with our higher chakras and self, see what we want, envision it, plan out the steps to take to achieve our goals, work by following our own intuition, put ourselves into the future to bring it back to us, and offer it all up to the universe.  All this takes time and love.  If it’s a dream yet to be achieved then we look inside to see what is growing.

When we seek security from those outside ourselves who we feel are more powerful than us we leak our energy out into theirs, which confuses both.  We are saying hey I’m just this little person who doesn’t know anything and needs help from you super strong amazing person cause I’m incapable or whatever the reason is.  Its ok to look for teachers, books, angels, guides what have you to support and send us messages but ultimately its our choice to make a decision.  The messages we receive are from our higher self if we are able to talk to ourselves. Once we make our decision its then being fully accepting of ourselves and what choice we made because we will have to make a choice either way so might as well accept responsibility for our actions.  We have the capability to listen to our being, seeing things deeper and understanding that we make our choices for the highest good and trust in the universe.  The more work we pour into the areas of our life we want to improve there will be growth.  It may not be over night so we will have to watch what seems like forever.  In all moments allow yourself to open up to the purple hue of Lepidolite.

Lepidolite is the stone of the transitions that allows us to reduce stress that is created on a daily basis but ourselves and outside forces.  Due to its purple hue it has a strong connection to our crown, which is getting in touch with our thoughts, mindsets and habits.  It helps us to be more observant of our mind and behavioral patterns, which encourages independence.  When we know who we are then our dependency for others diminishes.  We can set boundaries for our-self that seems reasonable for where we are.  It assists in sound sleeping and to stand in our own space wherever that maybe.

Let your love grow because it gets hard when we take things that are not ours.  We have all been doing the work and toiling for our crops to grow and now its time to harvest.  Take inventory of all the things we have worked on.  Gather them neatly in bunches.  If there is something we want to grow more of take note of it, or if there is too much of this crop plant less of those specific seeds.  If you forgot something its ok there will be another spring very soon.  Its all part of growing up and even when your grown up there is still more growing left to do.  Remember during this process to be excited about everything that there is both positive and negative.  There will always be something beginning as something ends so marvel in that fact of life.  Take the time to see what you have or what needs clearing, and sometimes only time will tell what exactly takes root and grows.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: October 19, 2009

Blue Lace Agate

I have a box where I keep my things.  Not all the things that I possess but some particular parcels that are different, a little, how do I put it…  They are things that are not easily expressed.  They have merit in this world but I keep them hidden.  Everyone has one of these boxes.  You know the one that’s up in the attic covered in dust and your grandmother’s old quilts.  The one you go up to every so often and unlock the combo lock, that you’ve remember all these years and add something to the pile inside.  We never look in the box for very long.  Its more of a drop off station, a storage unit accept private and personal.  We forget about it but there are times when its bigger than life and when we go up those attic stairs it happens to be sitting right in the middle of the room begging to be fed.  We don’t often question we just open it’s mouth and feed it more parcels from our life.  This feeling, that memory, this what if, that I should have done that, this regret, that thing we wished we hadn’t found out about someone, the list goes on and on.

Sure we’ve tried to move it somewhere else but the handles break or its just to damn heavy.  So we just cover it up more and more with all these distractions.  All these things promoted everywhere we look that are designed to get our minds off of these things for if we don’t think about them then well they just must not exist.  Oh but they do exist and are as real as any major disease, economic downturn or world war.  But its to hard to see them for the light never did work very well in the attic and we never really bothered to get a new light bulb up there.  It was just much work and that was our choice in the matter.  So we go and distract ourselves, which is ok, but all the while stuff builds up.  I bet for some people they remember as a kid they could kinda shift the box around from where it was placed.  Then they left it alone and came back to it years later with new things for it to hold onto and found out that it was just to heavy.  So glad grandma has a lot of old quilts up there.

One day you are walking along and BAM your nailed on the head by reality.  It hits you so damn hard that you have no idea where it came from and why it hurt so badly.  Then the frantic searching begins.  We look and look and blame and point fingers and crucify ourselves trying to find the answers.  Desperately we seek for what the hell causes this trauma and what can put a stop to all these feelings.  We want to run from the intensity and wish it did not feel so real but all these feelings are now floating everywhere around our head and energy field.  Really why are they all up and about all of a sudden wasn’t everything just fine and dandy?  Its all to intense give me a xanax or hit of weed to calm down.  Please anything it doesn’t matter just fucking hurry!

We keep running, searching and medicating until we finally collapse from exhaustion in a pile of sweat and tears.  We close our eyes and try to breath to bring ourselves back.  If we let go of resisting, it feels like we are rocks on the beach with the waters of emotions washing over us.  As we are still and as we feel like we cannot go on any longer the universe reminds us of hope.  In our minds eye we see that box vivid and clear.  There it is filled with all these repressed feelings some of them steamed from fear of being judged or rejected.  We look down at our throat and see hands we were never able to see before clasping it.  These hands are connected to arms that are extending out the sides of this box.  No wonder it has been so hard to breathe.  Everything the anger, fear, jealously, lack of feelings of self worth all right there wrapped around our own necks.  All these things we tried to avoid and never wanted in our lives are right there controlling us the whole time.  It just seemed too scary to deal with them.

Believe me its scary as hell to deal with them.  This box wouldn’t exist if they were easy to express but now look you see the box for what it is.  Its a space where we hold onto things and do not serve us.  It hangs out in our energy filed affecting our entire energetic and physical bodies.  Ah and now we have choices.  We could either find all the blankets in the attic and bury it, or take lighter fluid to the entire attic destroying the whole house.  Or grab our own hand and allow ourselves to be stripped away, walk up the stairs to the box and stick our head right inside the thing, relax, find stillness and begin to breathe.  We’ve all probably tried all of these methods in solving our issues and discovered the ramifications of all of them.  A good step is recognition of the box itself.  Then discovering the grace that its ok to have a box of shit because we are not perfect.  The only perfect people are dead people.  Allow this box to be a part of you for when we deny or ignore any part of ourselves it manifests into something we probably won’t like.

If you’ve chosen to stick your head in the box now know that you have just put your head in the shit box.  You are probably angled awkwardly, it smells rude, its dark, your back hurts and your body begins to ache, your eyes water from the smell and its just really uncomfortable in there.  No wonder we’d rather look at grandma’s old quilts or go watch tv.  Your in there now and there is a lot of cleaning up to do which could take some time or be quick depending on what is pulled out and how much is attached to it.  Remember in this moment we are human, breath, fire, light, and a crystal known as blue lace agate.  They will help us dissolve these feelings that have been stored up inside us.  Help us to express these stored up feelings and allow us to communicate on the soul level.  For when we recognize our feelings and truth no matter how icky it may seem we can learn to express them without fear.  Everything is going to be flying around your head so please remain clam but attentive.  We do not need to instantly react to everything.  Also remember to find the still point and relax cause if we tense up we can never take grasp of these things, because our fingers are all contorted and gnarled.  Its like from The Karate Kid where Daniel must catch the fly with the pair of chop sticks.  Move from your center in expansion to achieve that which your heart desires.  Force cannot be used in this process in any form, allow the answers in and for solutions to illuminate themselves to you in the time they are given.  We just need to let it be sometimes.

Do what you need once you’ve gotten into this box and know that it can consume you only if you let it.  Make time for it.  Its a process of unfolding the layers that we’ve placed on things.  Make sure that you have brought with you, your tool kit too for you never know if you are going to need a shovel, blow torch, a pin, stilts, flashlight, pillow, wire cutters or anything to help let you untangle all of the muck.  We often get stuck in this. Things are not always as they seem sometimes.  Will you be ready?  Breathe understanding into yourself.  If something has happened that is disappointing or tragic it may not be the end but the beginning of a new amazing adventure.  Once we’ve softened we begin taking action to shift the course of our amazing vessel.

This is part of the way of awakening.  Each of us are at different spots on this journey.  This process can take work and time but also lots of hugs, smiles and love.  This is our mission to discover, learn and grow but we also can have assistance by others who we call in at times.  We have the abilities to do anything in any capacity of light and or dark, and come in with some icky things and great things and often gratitude breaks down what is hiding in the box.  We recognize our inner feelings and to express them can help create a calmer, brighter, future with full expression and less fear.  This takes practice and work to achieve this goal.  Its ok to share with the world and yourself who you really are inside.  When we learn to see ourselves without judgment we are able to understand its all part of a bigger ocean of drops.  Each of us is one of these drops with the power to shift the course of time and space.  Which way will you flow and if your blown open or trip how will you learn and heal?  Float and just keep swimming.  It’ll all make sense one day and when it does we will set it aflame and see what comes next.

I love you.
Jeremy

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: October 12, 2009

Jasper

We need to be reminded to be gentle with ourselves these days.  We are children of the universe with so much to offer.  Terrible things happen everyday.  We always have a choice.  We are always loved even if its so dark, for to love oneself is the ultimate gift.  Always stop and remember to breathe and reach for the light.  We learn so much everyday and from great hurt and suffering comes great lightness and realization.  Remember all of our brothers and sisters.  Know that we are on a plane of existence that isn’t just physical or emotional.  Its a mix and to deny one is to live in ignorance.  We will make mistakes everyday and some will profoundly affect other people.  Accepting responsibility is something we forget to do sometimes but its crucial to move on from everything.

I share with you the power of Jasper for its the supreme nurturer.  Take care of yourself for when you do you can help others and even if you are learning you can as well.  We face challenges everyday and are here to discover our gifts and learn how we will serve humanity.  Its hard when we hurt others but we all do it but know when there is love it has the power to conquer all.  In time we will learn about ourselves more and more.  We will see there is beauty in the breakdown.  If you sever yourself or others find Jasper.  We as a collective species are capable of so much its time to honor that.

The words escape me but find nurturing wherever you can.  Find it in a cloud, flower, hug, friend, a random smile, doing something you love, a memory, a scar, love.  Promote what you want in this world and feel the impact you have on the world everyday.  We have the power.  Make your choice joy.  Forgiveness is not a requirement but is one of the final steps to letting go.  There are blessings all around us.  I wish you all so many and the greatest success imaginable.  Take action.  Do it for yourself, better yet do it for the world.  People change it just can take time.  Be thankful for what you have because you never know what the universe will throw at you.  Invite it all in for its all been sent as a guide from beyond.

I do not know everything and am by far means perfect.  I do have so much to give and am inspired by those who do.  I try my best and strive to be the best I can be.  I am a humble teacher who speaks from his heart and is trying very hard and accept that I have done things that are not of the greater good.  All teachers and students do this its part of life its how we learn from them that is the true test of knowledge.  I am only me with all beauty and flaws but wait and see.

Allow the rain to wash your pains away.

Big smiles.

I will always send light and love no matter what.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: October 5, 2009

YOU

What happens when we fall?  The ground feels like its been ripped out from under us and we are hanging mid air with nothing in sight.  We in that moment have infinite potential.  Do we harden or soften into the floor when we land if we even land at all.  When pushed from a high branch nothing is, as it seems.

We as humans feel we need to know everything, which can beneficial and detrimental.  We may think we know everything but really we do not.  And try as we might in order to control a situation to make everything feel happy and have us feeling fine.  If it does not end up the way that was initially planned we struggle and flap our wings all around creating dust and not allowing things to settle.  We cannot accept that we have this moment right now or allow this moment to be real.  We think in that instance are we causing hurt towards others in order to make us feel better?  For we have not accepted responsibility for ourselves and committed to ourselves in that present moment.  Or have we not learned how to sit and really acknowledge our feelings?  We have a choice in that moment what it is we want to choose, peace or war…  We run the full spectrum of emotions probably daily if we remain open to them.  Some are great and happy and others are hellish and awful.  What are they in the end?  They are feelings.  In order to label them as positive and negative is to put them in a box instead of letting them be free to fly around and live as they need to be.

The other day I saw a dove dieing in the street.  It was struggling, flapping its wings in all directions and wasn’t ready to give up.  It was making its way to the side of the road with cars rushing past it and yet it couldn’t find the will to fly.  It was in a panic…. Hope.

We find ourselves astrologically with the Aries Moon square the nodes in Cancer and Capricorn.  Its a feeling of reorientation.  We need to observe our karma as “the collected actions and consequences of the past, which can be resolved by awareness and action” and dharma as “acting as if to hold the world together.”(*1)  Its a time to look at where we came from and what is calling us into the future.  If we listen then we can hear the voice leading us towards freedom.

The moon if anyone as seen it has been brilliant but intense as usual.  We usually associate the full moon with the unleashing of pent up emotions and a cataclysmic events of tiny humans in an uproar.  The coyotes have it right but sharing their energy with the moon.  They howl.  They find the balance between wisdom and folly and HOWL.  Its actually an excellent release and surprisingly builds community.  If your out with the moon and howl see what happens because you never know what the out come with be.  Remember this quote for you as well, “once the Full Moon passes you’re going to realize there was nothing to worry about so you might as well not worry now.”(*2)

Let go of your tiny mind and ego.  We only use so much of the brain anyways so wouldn’t that speak to the fact that there is so much out there that we do not know nor can we contain or label.  It should breathe life and freedom into the worry.  Oh no I don’t know anything.  Good.  Ultimately we do not.  There is a feeling and understanding but a knowing is so flexible that it cannot be put into a box, and to do so is to deny that very instance in time its birth and death in reality.  “Only to the extend that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.”(*3)

Please remember patience for these teachings will evolve over a lifetime and are not a quick fix.  We as humans develop the best and quickest ways to ease pain.  We compromise ourselves everyday to save money and allow us not the best in care.  If we work and rest everyday we allow ourselves the best care and shift our perspective.  Booze and pills sure will work that they are designed to do but like everything else are only temporary.  Advertising has helped to show us that we need things that we cannot give ourselves.  We have the capability to do anything so of course materialism is something that we use to cope with the world as well.  We have chosen addictions to assist us when we have reached our edge and there is no place else to go but hide.  We seek shelter in the familiar but its a choice.  Image what your life would be like if you let go of all your crutches?  You do not know ultimately.  It all comes into view when it needs to so let your patience be forgiving and allowing yourself to solve your process in time.  Realize if addiction is rampant then its not just you that its affecting but the universe.

Our life is what we make it and to release the struggle is to live fully in the present moment, which is all that is really real.  It happens right now and its gone.  That is why I love dance.  The feeling is present for a moment and its gone in that very same instance.  There is a lasting effect but nothing tangible to hold onto.  It’s a great form of letting go, because it does exist like everything does and poof…

This week accept and honor your crystal being.  Know you have been put here for a reason.  Even if it may feel like we are not walking on that specific path, you are walking the path that you need to be walking right now.  No need to sell yourself short just be here in this perfect moment.  Your core is our power.  Move from it be in it and know that if the fire is dull add more fuel, heat and air to it and you’ve got fire.  Be free when you walk and connect with all you can for everything is temporary.  Nothing really gets solved it just falls apart and comes back together and falls apart, “the healing comes from letting there be room for all this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” (*4)  Every moment is honest and authentic and a test.  Do you commit to yourself and trust where you are is exactly where you need to be right now even if its not where you want to be or think you should be?  Why fight yourself when there is so much more to do here.  Remember to smile, your friends, family, nature, passion, love and the universe.

Things are really simple unless we make them complex.

Your crystal when put in the sun radiates all the colors of the rainbow in a beautiful dance of freedom and joy.  Misery and pain will enter into this sphere and allow them to dance with your colors but know that its a test of weather we indulge in these feelings, harden, run away or acknowledge them and release them.  A wonderful friend told me the other day that its all like a big game of Jeopardy.  We know the answers but its the questions that elude us sometimes.  Its exciting when things are great and when things suck big time for we’ve chosen the life of a sentient being who is here to experience all emotions, learn, grow and serve.

If your crystal has gotten bogged down, charge it.  Lay in the sun.  Listen to the messages in the wind.  Dance and sing.  Listen to the magic of the humming bird and the bee who have been sent as messengers to remind us to find the nectar and sweetness in life in all moments.  Know that we have chosen wherever we are at right now.  No one put us here.  We made the choice and there are things that need to be resolved as we move in order to reach our greatness and when we do arrive there will be more things after that.  Blow open your mind and live a life of egolessness because its all temporary anyway.  It soon fades but it can last because its never what we think it is.  If it doesn’t feel right… Change it.

You are the brightest crystal of all and contain so much information and resources when we open up and say yes to them.  Learn to be able to lean into the sharp spaces for it opens us up literally.  We allow the fluidity of both the feminine receiving and the giving masculine to envelope the two together.  It leads to more openness, which is more space to grow your crystal in whatever color, size and shape you want to be.  You crystal is not made from hardening its made from opening space, allowing and acknowledging all moments to exist when they do.  I take responsibility for the growth of my crystal and when I do I am able to help others as they grow their crystals and it spreads out for we are all one crystal at heart.

With light love and service I write this to you crystal beings of the future.

I love you.

Jeremy

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: September 28, 2009

Chrysocolla

Years ago an event happened.  This event was something that made this young girl silent for years.  It felt as if she had hands around her neck at all times.  She went mute and didn’t feel like sharing for it was to painful.  This event grew and festered in her soul.  It brought up so many emotions and feelings of guilt.  She tired to move on and find love and grow a relationship but found rocky moments more than not kept occurring.  This young girl couldn’t understand why this was happening but she realized she had buried that event deep inside her locking her heart and ability to move forward.

She checked the sky and knew this was a fragile time with the moving of Mercury out of retrograde so it felt like her life was in a holding pattern.  She watched the news and her heart cried as she saw the destruction of the planet and the confusion in the government.  The news had to be turned off after seeing all these things.  It was far to much for her right now.  Things just seemed to be moving forward and yet she felt stuck in the past.  Whenever she would go to open her mouth it would snap shut like a bear trap.  She wanted to speak, sing and share her story.  It was a great struggle for her.

One night she was sitting outside weaving and suddenly two men came out from behind the bushes and captured her.  She tired to cry out and yell for help but she could not.  She remained frozen unable to let out a sound.  These men took her to a far away compound up on a hill.  They took her to a damp room and shackled her hands and feet.  She lay there in agony and was completely disoriented.  The cold air flew in through an open window and chilled her to the bone.  She tired to open her mouth but felt the pair of hands cold as ice around her throat.  Her eyes turned up and inwards and she began to see shadows in her mind of the events of years past.  As she started to see she opened her eyes because she could not take being in that energy once more.

She could hear footsteps above her head and down the hallways outside her dungeon.  She was shivering uncontrollably.  She was thinking of all the poor people who had died this week and it only made her shiver more.  This energy was far to intense and she didn’t know what she was going to do.  Her body began to spasm and go into a fit.  The colors in the room began to meld and she felt dizzy.  As the room began to spin she saw out of the corner of her eye a small blue light sitting on the edge of her window.  It confused her and yet she was drawn to it.  It felt like everything was spinning around her but she had found a focus point to bring everything back to normal.  She directed all her attention towards the blue light and began to feel calm and tranquil.

The blue light flew down to greet her on the floor.  It was a brilliant blue bird but small and tiny almost the size of a sparrow.  It hopped around this young girl.  She began to feel lighter.  Her energy and charkas began to start spinning again.  The blue bird said he had been sent here to help her but she must be willing to see inside herself.  She began to shutter and cry silently.  The blue bird flew right up to her eyes and told her not to be afraid and she can do this.  She looked into the birds eyes and saw galaxies spinning around and around in the depths of blue, teal, hints of reds and dark indigo.  Her energy calmed and she struggled no more.

The bird hopped onto her solar plexus and instructed her to breathe.  As she did the feelings of guilt and destructive emotional programming began to let go.  The shadows from her traumatic event were projected on the wall in front of her.  She could see it clearly and made her writhe in pain but she looked down at the blue bird that stood calmly and she took a deep breath.  As the events of her past unfolded before her she began to see things in a light in which it had never presented to her before.  It was beginning to reveal itself to her and she felt clarity wash over her.  The blue bird hopped onto her heart and she felt her love grow and grow.  She saw vines flowing out from her chest beginning to grow and wrap around the support beams holding up the house she was captured in.  And finally the blue bird jumped on her throat.  His face stared deep into her eyes and she felt vibration start to form.  She turned her eyes up and inward and felt the shadows begin to release and a bright ball of light gather at her throat.  She took a deep breath and let out a huge gasp, which shook the entire world.

The house she was in began to shake.  The vines from her heart were tearing down the columns and the walls were shaking from her gasp.  She pictured waves breaking her shackles and washing over her being and throat.  The saw pounding waves beat against the hands holding her throat until finger by finger they began to let go.  As this happened she cried out I’m FREE.  At the moment the house collapsed on top of her and the blue bird.  A huge cloud of dust was seen for miles.

When she awoke her vision was blurry.  She didn’t know where she was.  She asked herself if that was all a dream but looked down and saw the blue bird dead in her hand.  Tears swelled up in her eyes and she began to cry.  The tears poured down on top of the bird like rain but a voice told her he was happy now.  He had been sent to show her something and assist her this week and all weeks she needed him.  His body maybe dead but he is still a gift from the universe.  Suddenly she had to urge to reach inside his chest and as she did she pulled out a beautiful crystal.  She looked at it in wonder and its energy enveloped her.  She felt like she was soft lake floating endlessly.

She awoke and her vision was blurry. She didn’t know where she was.  She looked across from her and the world was starting at her right in the face.  She saw many things and wondered if it was all a dream but she looked down and saw her crystal.  There was so much work yet to do but she was ready to speak and sing out.

I hope people find their voice this week and all weeks.  When we are open inside and continue to release fear and guilt we will discover that communication takes work but is a gift.  It is our link to relate and live with our brothers and sisters in the world.  I know we feel alone at times but we are a collective and constantly connected to someone in this world if we choose to keep that chord strong.  When you feel cut off find Chrysocolla to give you calm and to open up your throat and heart.  You will be happy you did and let the authentic communication flow from your lips for the greatest good for yourself and the collective at large.  Through discipline we are able to feel the sweetness of life in every moment.  Vibrate high and feel at peace.

I love you.
Jeremy

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: September 21, 2009

Turquoise

The spirit of a young man was encased in the wooden shell of a young tree.  His goal was to reach the sun with all of his might.  But he was so young and yet there was much that needed to be resolved.  He waited for the sun every morning and knew he needed to reach his roots lower in order to find fresh water.  It was instinctual and yet he found resistance to it.  Why should he have to work?  This young tree was not going to survive if he didn’t get past a few things.  With this newfound world encased in wood he had time to wait and observe what was happening at a slowed down pace.

For many years he observed what his thinking was.  He chose to hide under the taller trees even though he would receive less sunlight.  He would notice the other trees and becomes frustrated and angry that they were they way they were and he was so insignificant and tiny.  He would clench so tightly that his bark would crack leaving scars and his branches would snap off.  His leaves did grow very densely.  He let the other trees take the closer routes to the underground water reserves.  He tried to breathe but felt lost and alone.

He felt for some reason that he was a nuisance as a tree.  Others would look down on him and take pity on him, which on feed his self-sabotage.  He had chosen that if others take pity on me and help me then I do not have to do the work required to make it.  Days and days go by and yet he is learning nothing about what he needs, until one evening huge clouds began to gather over all of the trees in the forest.  This is a scary time to be a tree.  The rolling roars of thunder rushed through their leaves.  The elder trees warned everyone of the upcoming danger.  What could they do but hold their ground, send out positive intentions for protection from the universe and wait it out.  This little tree sat and thought nothing of it.  He was hidden under the branches of a huge tree to his right.  The rain began to fall in sheets.  He felt the weight against his branches even though he was covered.  This began to make him feel nervous.

Instantly a shot of lightning hit the ground.  It fortunately did not hit any of them.  Another bolt hit the ground.  They were all safe yet again.  Suddenly a barrage of bolts rained down on the grove.  Trees were hit.  Branches sparked and were on fire.  Their spirits were screaming.  Chaos was beginning to ensue.  The bigger tree protecting him was struck and a branch fell right on top of this little tree taking off the whole right side of his branches.  Fire was burning everywhere and a small spark jumped onto his branches.  The rain was dieing down, which was unfortunate for this little tree.  Since he was shielded from the rain by the bigger tree he had dry parts to him which burned quickly.  He cired out to the other trees for help.  No one heard him.  He looked all around him and all that had happened and knew that he may soon fall and join the earth.  But he wasn’t ready for this.  He wanted to touch the sky.  He began to cry.  His tears flooded out of the crevasses of his bark.  As he released his tears put out the fire on his braches.

The sun finally came out the next day.  Smoke was still rising from the whole forest.  They were devastated.  They all prayed together to the universe for help.  As the day wore on animals came and gave them kisses and wished them well.  That afternoon as the shadows were long and extended a young person approached the grove.  He was saddened to see all this destruction.  He was clutching something close to his heart wrapped in a piece of cloth.  He walked to each tree and hugged each one.  As he walked his eyes feel upon the young tree.  His chest rose and fell.  He walked up to the tree and hugged it.  His arms wrapped around the trunk of the tree.  He removed what was inside his cloth and buried it in the earth right at the base of the tree and departed.

Instantly a turquoise light began to rise up from the earth and circle around the young tree.  It spiraled around its roots, trunk and branches.  This energy whispered words of comfort and joy into the essence of the tree.  This energy reminded the young tree not to feed into self-sabotage and that he is capable of anything.  The tree began to balance its energies of both masculine and feminine nature.  He received a message from the universe letting him know that this is a heavy month for many but the number nine also signifies completion.  All this was much for him to hear.  He was also reminded that in order to be fully present one must leave the bag behind.

At that moment a huge thud hit the earth and he viewed upon a giant suitcase that and fallen right in front of him.  He began to cry and committed to himself and the universe that he would achieve his goals.  A feeling of calm began to flow over his branches as the turquoise light soothed his spirit.  He asked the universe and the turquoise light to assist him.  At that moment the turquoise energy formed into a giant eagle that spread its wings wide.  This energy flew down and picked up the giant suitcase and flew upwards towards the heavens.  As the eagle was flying the tree committed to a life of not taking things personally and letting go of his story.  In order to be complete he must be present, see the world and let go.  He still had work to do but a huge part of him was lifted.

With the turquoise light, our commitment to self and the universe we are able to get through these challenging times.  We will be able to reach our branches up towards heaven and feel the warmth of the sun on our backs.  With this surrender and this simple understanding of being here and now is the only real reality.  Through our work, chanting, yoga, love and evolution we forge ahead.  Feel your completion in his month of double nines and ask the turquoise to merge the earth and sky.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: September 14, 2009

Apatite

A ravenous beast had been plaguing the small town on the bluff for weeks now.  The citizens of the town were almost out of all their resources and hope.  Everyday at noon the monster raids the town and eats everything in site.  Many have fled abandoning their crops, homes and anything else they could not carry on their backs.  Since the attacks the quite town has been over run with crime and low spirits.  With their energy low and their nerves fried they spend most of their time hiding instead of working to create a plan or even grow more food.  Crops or not the monster appears everyday at noon and eats everything from their food, tools, stores, pets, anything.

The town decided to hold a meeting to figure out what they had been doing that brought on this onslaught of torture.  They talked for many hours and discussed many subjects.  The town mystic said that much is happening in the ways of the planets that have been causing torment, lack of communication and the beginning of many powerful cycles.  His last words before sitting down though were that its a time to go inwards to look back on the past many months and see if their lives are in alignment with their purpose.  To turn inward is to discover the solution to the mysteries of life.  Its a tough job but it can be done.  Even though there is much plaguing us he noted that this was a time where many things have ripened for people.  He asked, could we even see all the good that is happening?  He said that we sit here questioning everything including ourselves but the key is to channel this information into a positive flow of broadening awareness.  We reach this through evaluation and self-transformation by bringing the inside out.  Remember that this is a small drop in the ocean of time and every moment has something to teach us.

The town’s people were in shock to hear all this and instantly knew what they needed to do.  They all formed a circle and sat down to join each other in collective meditation.  Each individual there dove deep into meditation.  The room began to fill with vibration.  Huge exhales were audible has people turned their gaze inward and released stifling energy.  They began to focus their intention towards solving the problem of the giant beast and they saw a giant blue crystal surrounded by rock.  The second they all saw it one of the children yelled they know where they can find that crystal.

The people ran out of the hall and into the streets following this little boy as the rain began to fall.  They trudged through the mud and up a steep hill.  He said that he had been to this cave on the other side of this mountain but had been afraid to go into these woods since the monster came.  The towns people realized that noon was going to be upon them soon enough and they needed to hurry in order to stop this beast.  Up they went until they reached a cave with a small opening.  He pointed and said it was in there.  They asked if he had been in there before.  He answered no.  They were all shocked to hear this.  They began to question the young boy.  Some people got outraged and left them standing there in the pouring rain.  They began to yell at this young boy who began to cry.

Stop it!!!  The mystic cried.  He told them that they had become the monster.  They backed away from the little boy who was crying.  The mystic approached him and said I trust you.  A small smile came across the boys face and he crawled inside the cave.  Fifteen minutes later a blue crystal was rolled out of the cave.  Everyone cheered when they saw it.  Instantly everyone sat again in mediation.  They joined hands and felt the confusion of what they were to do next disappear.  They no longer felt exhausted from their journey or at the thought of all that they had lost.  Everyone began to breathe together and felt their kundalini force rise.  They went very deep this time even deeper than before into meditate and it was all clear.  They had been hungering for the wrong things in their life.  There was no charity, no service; it was all about fulfilling greedy pursuits.  They had been neglecting the love for self, others and the collective.  The power of this blue stone was beginning to shift the things they had once hungered for.

Suddenly they all jumped together.  It was noon in an hour they had to get back to the town.  They flew down the hill and got to the gates of the town.  People were yelling, running around and crying.  No one wanted the monster to come again.  The mystic climbed to the top of the building and asked everyone to calm down and listen.  The young boy came out from behind the cloak of the mystic.  The boy told them that the only way to get rid of this monster was to dance and play music when the monster came.  As he said this he began to dance.  People were not quite sure and at that exact moment the monster walked through the gates of the town.

The town’s people had never been out in the open before with the monster.  They froze.  The monster walked slowly towards them and then stopped instantly.  The sounds of a flute filled the air.  Everyone scattered and pulled out anything that could make noise and began to play.  Other sang chants from around the world and danced.  Suddenly the city was surrounded by color, light and magic.  The children ran and screamed in delight while the adults spiraled in elaborate partner dances.  They began to dance dances that they had forgotten about and sing words from their elders.  The roots of their existence began to seep into their beings.

Everyone began to hold hands as they surrounded the monster that had closed its eyes with a huge smile across its sharp teeth.  It was dancing to their song.  They surrounded the beast and brought out the blue crystal.  They all sang the last note of the song in harmony.  In that moment the monster evaporated into the blue crystal, which then released the energy out into the universe.

Everyone cheered with delight!!  They were amazed at their efforts and all they had done together and vowed to change their ways from now on.  They would welcome outside travelers into their city and have people of service to assist neighboring towns in need.  Everyone felt inspired and motivated for change and magic.  They no longer hungered for the low things in life but wanted what was of highest intent for them and their universe.

May the Apatite crystal bring you inspiration and the motivation to change your world into light.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: September 7, 2009

Ruby

I sit.  I stand here before you.  My palms are open but nothing yet resides physically inside of the soft flesh.  I sit.  I wait to hear what there is to hear.  I listen to the communications of people beginning to slip due to the retrograde of Mercury.  I sit.  I feel the intensity of the time and the days past.  I inhale and exhale.  I remember to get a glass of water.  I remember what its like to sit in peaceful solitude and to find that peace even when surrounded by chaos.  I sit and let the feelings wash over me.  I feel the warmth of the sun and the changing of the seasons.  I notice the sounds that jump out at me.  I sit.  I let the thoughts trail in and out and hear the guitar riffs float across the airwaves.  I look in my minds eye and see fire burning embers of the past up in smoke.  And yet I still sit…

The soft memory of a young child playing in a field flashes before my eyes.  I am able to see her frolic through the tall grasses effortlessly.  I wish for her innocence again but let that soon pass as I see her smile.  With that smile the sun shines through her entire essence.  Her young vitality and heart filled passion burst forth in every action.  Every look she takes is filled with life and intention.  She dances with life.

I sit.

I look closer to her and I see a soft hint of red surrounding her being.  There are dark collections of energies that begin to surround her as she plays and picks up flowers and yet she pays no attention to them.  These dark forces try to penetrate inside but cannot get past this soft red glow.  They grow in size and pound against her shield.  They are incessant and yet try as they might they are unable to get in.  Exhausted they soon float off and return back to where they came from.

The little girl continues to play and also is able to focus intently on every task she puts her mind to.  I sense clarity around her mind and when she sits to study the landscape a beam of light radiates from each eye in a perfect focused stream.  Her smile is still powerful and she follows her bliss up, down and around her for the rest of the afternoon.

I sit.

As the sun sets I fall into my minds eye and join the little girl out in the field.  She sees me and walks towards me.  Her red glow is as vibrant as ever and seeps into my aura.  The red begins to dance with the colors in my energetic field.  I feel stronger and lighter with this new red energy.  She stops and looks at me.  I smile at her and she opens her hands.  Inside each palm sits a bright red crystal.  A ruby.  I feel wings emerge from my heart center and my energy begins to vibrate.  I am pulled back to a difficult situation and am reminded that for the next one I can use the power of these rubies to assist me.  With this new download of information I am able to understand that to spark my energy and revitalize my adrenals a Ruby is the key.

I turn my gaze inwards and see the blood flowing through all my veins cleanly and easily.  I feel my passion boil and my inner fire burn and morph into a series of different powerful shapes and animal totems.  This fire flows in and out of patterns and flickers its way through my limbs and softly brushes my skin and aura.  I feel like a bird who is ready to take off into flight and let my creative energy flow out.  I tumble back into myself where I no longer sit but stand.

I share this with you.  Find your passion for life.  Feel your heart open and your mind focus.  Understand life is happening and we fall in and out of planetary cycles but with vitality and passion we can make it through.  Trust your life.  Love your process.  For even if we do not reach our final outcome the journey may have been the outcome we were looking for.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: August 24, 2009

Aquamarine

A young sailor finds himself heading out from port into the vastness of the blue deep.  “The ocean is not the place for a young person,” they all said back home.  He heard them yet paid no attention to their comments.  For this man feels he has a mission yet to accomplish and something to learn out there.  He is poised and set sail to prove not just to them but also to himself that he is capable of this journey.  He will be tested but knows he has a secret weapon he has brought with him for protection from drowning…  Aquamarine.

Along his journey he encounters many pitfalls and fantasies.  He made it through the treacherous Sirens and came across hundreds of pelicans, which made his heart sing.  It was a lot of work being out there all by himself but he feels that things are on an upswing.  However the winds have been on his side for many days but suddenly stopped.  For the past week they were quite.  With this extra stillness he’s had time to study the planets and feels that its a time to get his thoughts out.  He clutches his Aquamarine in his left hand and begins to feel its energy swirl around his throat and the words just seem to pour out onto paper.  As he writes his luck soon shifts and his little boat gets caught in a current that takes him straight to port.

He arrives at this new port and is greeted by awkward glances and unfriendly faces.  He tells them where he’s from and is told that his home is a swamp filled with liars and creatures of no integrity.  Everyone on the pier including young women and children begin to chime in with the insults and their own preconceived notions of his personality.  The young man feels his energy start to sink, throat close up and questions his own state of being after hearing all these comments and judgments.  The feelings of light shift to darkness as he begins to shut down and drown inside himself and his over active mind.  He feels perhaps these people are right and I’m scum just like they say.  These feelings fog his mind and inhibit his ability to speak his truth and stick up for himself.  He feels that he has to change who he is in order to impress these people for its important to be seen positively in other people’s eyes.  If he acts like his true self and contradicts the comments of others then things could get worse.  His chest rises and falls.

He continues to walk down the pier with the criticisms of others echoing through his cranium.  His head is drooped; spirits are low and feels that his self worth is not worth anything at all.  There is a small glimmer of hope left in the young man and he asks the universe for a sign for he knows this week is the time for opening up communication before Mercury returns to his retrograde pattern.  How is he to talk to anyone in this city if they all feel he is a complete low life and he cannot speak his truth?

As we walks he feels the soft touch of the wind brush his back and it sweeps by his ear.  In that moment he hears the words from nature tell him to return to his boat.  Quickly he turns right around and heads back to his boat and again asks the universe for assistance.  Suddenly he hears the rustling of the curtains coming from the window he left open in his bedroom quarters on the ship.  As he walks towards the window he sees a glimmer of light coming from inside his room.  Instantly he knows what it is that will help him.  He rushes inside and grabs the piece of Aquamarine that he left sitting on the table.  He holds it up to the light to reveal its beautiful aqua color in the sun.  As the sun shines through its crystal insides a bright blue sphere of light envelops his being.  It feels like the softness and fluidity of the wind is surrounding his entire self.  The energy begins to congregate towards his throat and the clamps holding it close begin to loosen.  He feels a tingling sensation around his heart too and is told to sit and meditate.

He sits in a comfortable cross-legged position and sits up straight.  He then pulls his chin towards his collarbone and begins to chant, “hum me hum Braham hum” over and over.  The energy inside him begins to swirl and merge with the soft blue of the Aquamarine.  His eyes are closed but he can see the pulsation of energy from inside his eyelids.  His throat opens further and he begins to have clearer perceptions and his confusion diminishes.  Determination spirals through all of his trillions of cells.  He feels more connected to spirit and is able to receive strong messages about what it is he needs to do next in his practice and process of speaking his truth.

His meditation ends and he stands up.  He had been feeling overwhelmed before he started this process but now he states that he is ready to claim responsibility for himself and his life.  The young man opens his eyes and feels like he is seeing through the clear waters of a tropical sea and yet he remains in his room.  He can see the fluid energy of the universe and the waves of life are evident to him.  The mentality of feeling defeated begins to melt away.  His mind is filled with awareness but also understanding that this task is work and if he wants to succeed he needs to let go and begin.

He swims through the air towards the door and swings it wide open to reveal the warm sunlight hitting his face.  After a moment of basking in the sun he takes the Aquamarine and places it right at the nape of his throat.  He closes his eyes once more.  In his minds eyes he sees ribbons of blue light fly out of the stone at his throat.  Giant blue winged birds begin to surround him and he feels the wind created by their wings brushing all the negative thoughts and programming away.  A huge intense bubbling begins and a geyser eruption of blockages pours out of that spot.  He feels the intensity of this and the energy of the stone making his entire physical body vibrate.  This feeling is liberating but also strong with purpose for it is granting him the strength to keep moving forward.

He opens his eyes and looks out.  It feels like he has the power of a thousand warriors inside of him.  He has a strong sense of knowing, believing and trusting that he has the power to change himself and the world.  He understands that he is exactly in the right space and that the universe is changing in every moment.  The thoughts arise about the people on the pier and he knows that it is his job to better himself in order for them to see the light.

BOOOOM!  In that moment he feels propelled off of his boat and walks through the town.  A blue fire is burning behind him like the engine of a jet, giving him energy and pushing him forward.  Everyone around him is still glaring at him but he continuities to walk.  He gathers the supplies that he needs from his port and stays steadfast on his journey through the belly of the beast.  In his mind he is able to dismantle their judgments and being to speak his truth towards a few of these critical people.  The vibrations from others come and go but he is excited for what is still to come.  Once he is finished he returns to his boat and sets sail.  Just as he leaves the port the winds pick up and he sails on his way.  Peering over the side of his vessel he sees high waves and dark clouds but opens his arms and drops his head back with a smile and a breath.

Wherever this week takes you know that we are given tools to help us see clearly.  The words that cloud our mind are just old programming that no longer serves us.  It is the time for work and to be open with our communication to others and ourselves.  Now is the time to express our feelings and know that we have a great responsibility to learn, change and grow because if we do not no one will do it for us.  Everything in life is a series of starting on a new path and leaving off old roads.  The new reality is being set into place so make sure that you are going in the right direction to inhabit that new space.  Take time to review the past two years of life in order to help you see more clearly the steps that need to be taken in order to transform.  May the power of the Aquamarine help you along your process.  May you be able to see all the way to the bottom of your ocean through the clear blue water enhanced by your diligence and the help of this amazing crystal.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: August 17, 2009

Sodalite

A clear blue sphere floats endlessly in an infinite black sky.  As it spins it creates life from light and the accumulation of many parts.  Its pure in its original state but it has a desire to change into something greater than what it is now.  It realizes that its purpose is to change and grow like the rest of the universe.  As this blue sphere evolves more unique combinations of atoms appear.  Some move and breathe others are static and unmoving.  All parts of a greater whole who’s purpose is to evolve consciously and unconsciously in every moment.  Without trying very hard and letting time and light do its work this blue sphere becomes a home for life.  With life comes change and growth but also feeling the purity from which it was made.  An understanding of being perfect resides somewhere within for each moment is perfect in its essence but things begin to get busy and complex.

As conditions change and this sphere becomes more multifaceted, and so does its internal universe.  These creatures start to learn more and start to morph into different beings.  As these changes occur this blue sphere is no longer pure blue anymore but speckled with white clouds.  They cast shadows upon the surface blue sphere, which cause moments confusion, mania and chaos.  The sphere begins to change for new elements are being added to the energy surrounding their sphere.  With new pollution from many elements the blue sphere turns inwards to discover it has a gift all along that can help to shine light through the clouds and have blue radiance shine again.  It asks itself to have this gift emerge from below its skin.  As it does and these gifts are discovered and the pollution being accumulated begins to decrease.

As the blue sphere looks down upon herself she sees all these little beings sharing the gifts with each other.  For these beings are surprised at the true results that come from the use of this gift.  When the find or are given these gifts they feel something.  They begin to feel a lightness in their mind and a clarity of being.  They too have a field of energy protecting them and when they use this gift for help woooooooosh the energy feels more clear and vibrant.  They are able to feel their purity again and when they feel it the blue sphere feels it.  As the little being’s spheres shine the whole world beings to shine.

This gift that has been given to us from the Earth for the Earth is the stone known as Sodalite.  Sodalite stones are mini replicas of Earth herself.  To gaze into the Sodalite is to view into the Earth and your own intuition.  Sodalite energy is used to clear pollution on all levels. It also clears any physic pollution or anything that has chosen to attach itself to our electromagnetic field.  As we live and move about the world we are susceptible to many forces that may deplete our energy or enter our energy field.  Some of these forces maybe self inflicted and others may be from external sources.  When we feel into our being we discover that there is more to us that just our physical but an area of vibration that is moving all around us.  This vibration shifts as we live and needs to be taken care of just as much as our physical body.

There are many times in our lives when we feel weak, bogged down, empty or lost.  It maybe caused from much mental torment and attachment of debris to our energy field or aura.  As we try to move through life we feel as if we are in shadow.  The sun maybe shining brightly but loathing and apathy set it.  The Sodalite with cut through the internal chatter and feelings of lack and transform it into feelings of self worth and acceptance.  If we notice that we are type of person that is defensive or oversensitive this stone is an excellent healer for you.

The magic with this stone needs to be understood for its only the first part of clearing process.  It will assist in the clearing of these blockages and will bring them to the surface but its up to us personally to take the steps needed in order to shift fully.  We are able to acknowledge our inner workings with the assistance of this earthstone but if we see the light and do not step into it then we remain in the dark.  Now with the gift of Sodalite magic we are able to see more clearly.  With the path illuminated we let go, say yes to acceptance and openness in order to take our first steps in a new direction.

When we gaze through the indigo light of our third eye are able to see an evolving world beyond our physical sight.  We are able to see deeper and understand greater the purpose of our journey and the subtleties of life.  We get stuck all the time in thinking and over thinking that the clouds appear quickly to form a hurricane with only a pin whole of light through its central eye.  Be grateful for that single light for it is our guide to freedom.  The eye is the calm in the center of the storm and when we have made our way right to the core we can transform from there.

I stand here naked in the center of a violent storm.  I am faced with a mirror of my entire physical, emotional and spiritual self.  I can see what is not moving and needs to be released.  Everything is spinning around me.  I feel tired.  I feel ugly and do not understand why this is all happening.  Inhale.  Exhale.  I have to take a second to look deep into my eyes down into another world.  I enter to the core of myself and thank it for being and ask to release all this.  I hold a Sodalite in my hand and trace my aura with its vibration.  I feel a closeness and connection to myself and the universe.  The movement and release begin and the clouds start to dissipate.  The tube that I was once standing in becomes bigger until there is no need for it at all.  I have found my root and plucked it right out.  I stand and look in all directions.  I’m still clutching the Sodalite in my hand and ask myself where do I step next.  My mind is clear.  I know fully and commit to my intuition telling me where it is that I need to go.  The negativity and disharmony that I was feeling for my atmosphere and self is extinguished.  With this new clarity and freshness I take my first step with intention towards the horizon.  I know that I am safe wherever I walk because I’m open to create my world with intention.  I thank the magic of this indigo crystal for it has done its job and started its work to shift my internal universe so that I can change the greater universe.

We are here to transform, evolve, love and live in our fullest brightness with clear purity of intent and beauty.  When we stand in the indigo light of Sodalite we see ourselves truly for what we are and value our decisions that we have made and will make in the future.  We are able to let go of old mindsets and programming in order to create a new world of light.  I have seen my shadow and look at it without judgments.  I ask for help from my guides and Source to release and allow the spinning wave energy around my being to dance.  I am free to be me, which is the best thing I can be.  Ahhhhhhh.  As I fill my aura with fresh light I spin my own direction and off into the universe with renewed eyes.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: August 10, 2009

Carnelian

Hello.  The summer is still hot but the internal summer and heat seems to be hotter.  We are hit with much as we move daily.  We find our light but then lose sight of the road to find ourselves in unfamiliar territories floundering about.  Part of our being a sentient being is feeling this confusion and lack of clarity.  Much of what we learn is presented to us on this physical lower vibrational plane.  All that we feel we know and our connection to the spiritual is only a small fraction of the higher vibration that the spiritual realms resides in.  A lot of what we are moving through and with is on this planet itself which makes the body a huge part of our journey.  We are here to learn the lessons on this plane of life even though other levels are felt.  We forget at times that we have chosen to be physical this time around and that things do make sense (when we take time to listen) even though we feel a lack of connection to our inner universe and to Source.

What causes this?  Its a feeling of being ungrounded and not present.  We try to develop our sense of self daily which is never concrete due to the fact that we are so multifaceted and ever changing.  We pull from all different directions in order to create who we are.  If we take a second and really listen we will hear, what is self but all that resides in this present moment.  But to think of us in the past or in the future can draw us away from the present moment.  Self retrospection and projection in the future are powerful tools for manifestation but it needs to be done with reverence for the space we inhabit now.  If we are going around constantly thinking of where we were and how much hurt we’ve been through or how much fun we had and wish we were having fun now these feelings need to be integrated.  The good times come and go but if we are thinking of them in such a light of being good or bad then we will be limited to that model of life.  Every instant is an accumulation of parts during our ascension process.  If things are not in the way we want them to be, action needs to be taken.  To shift our perspective is a positive motion to create our highest life, but remember its a process.  Understand we will reach our desired destination but we are on this part of the path now.  Notice all the beauty around you.  Take inventory at this moment as you read this to see your surroundings.

Understand that people will be achieving things we’ve wanted to do before you may actually do so yourself.  Many people quest for the same type of things and its frustrating especially in a competitive mind that says “why haven’t I gotten there yet?”  Notice when this happens and be conscious to shit it for if we reside in that lowest vibration of doubt, fear and regret will be sink.  To feed these thoughts is to tie an anchor around your waist.  The ego adds this feeling to the mind and to our sense of deserving.  When this occurs ground into the present and take a few minutes to play the gratitude game.  Sit and write down 10 things that you have in your life that you are grateful for, and notice the feelings that everything sucks will soon dissipate.

Carnelian is a stone that has evolved with humans over centuries.  It is a stone of grounding and creativity.  Its known to stimulate fertility and blood flow.  If there are feelings of lack creativity in one’s life Carnelian will arouse creative desire.  Its excellent for people who are embarking on dramatic pursuits, and grounds us into our present reality.  It transmutes anger into joy and allows us to remove negativity from our lives.  As we remove negativity we will then begin to trust where we are right now in order to remain steadfast as we venture into the future.  This stone is a helpful stone for meditation as it focuses the mind and clears distractions.  Carnelian is a powerful stone for a human existence because it resonates on a lower vibration than most stones allowing us to relate to it easier.

The planets are giving us much to work with this week.  They are moving, shifting and giving us an opportunity to ask many questions about ourselves and the true nature of self.   There is also thoughts of oncoming chaos due to the conjunction of Eris, which is knows as the funnel of chaos inside the psyche.  What is chaos really but an upheaval of all that we think we know.  We are constantly thinking that we know so much or little but really all that we know is present within our reality NOW.  If we breathe through every moment we are able to feel our truth.  We keep holding tightly to everything because the fear of unknown is greater than containing a small existence.  What if we really didn’t know anything?  In that moment the infinite is our potential.  Why hold so tightly?  When we do the blood vessels break and we are left with a flood of rushing chaos.  To be fluid is to roll with it.  If you find yourself falling and you are about to embrace your inevitable collision with the ground what does your body choose?  Does it choose to clench everything all at once in order to stabilize or surrender into the ground completely?  Make your choice wisely.  Part of us wants to avoid the situation all together but its helpful to embrace it.  When we find ourselves running then we may trip and be propelled in a different direction all together and feel even more lost than before.

When we find ourselves lost in the throws of life Carnelian will bring us back into the present life of love.  There is a new structure of living thats being created and Carnelian will lend a hand in this creation.  Its up to the light workers to join together in order to make the world evolve.  Shops, products, spaces of physical reality are in need of conception and creation.  Carnelian stimulates our creativity and with its grounding properties will give us the ability to remain focused.  The generations of before are departing so the new crystals and stars are here to shine there light.  If you have been feeling that you want to make something now is the time.  If your idea is big or small remember to take action in order to manifest it on the physical level.  The eclipses have brought us into this new vibration and phase of being so now take the steps to make it happen.  We all stand on the bluff looking down at the vast valley of the infinite lets join hands and cry up towards the heavens.  Now we are ready to lay the foundations for the next steps of evolution.

Trust in your path no matter how fuzzy it may seem.  Trust in being right here and now for this is all we have.  Trust in the ability to do far more physically than what our mind thinks we are capable of.  Trust the heart will open and surrender into the Earth.  When we surrender into the Earth we are the groundwork for the tower of light to be build.  Let the Carnelian stimulate the blood flow of life to explode into the physical manifestation from our vast mind.  Look deep inside the Carnelian to see its umbilical cord connecting to the Earth and focus your energy there.  The heat from the heart of the Earth will penetrate your soul and produce astounding affects on your being.  Wiggle at your base and let it rise like the serpent kundalini to open up at the crown to shower down abundance upon you.  Focus your intent, put it down on paper then find your tools needed and let the groundbreaking begin.

I love you.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: August 4, 2009

Sunstone

Sat Nam everyone.  This week brings us to the first full week of the month of August.  I first off cannot believe we are already into the eight month of this year.  Time just seems to propel us forward at such amazing rates.  Really the reality of time just keeps pulling us endlessly into the future.  We just have found ways to control is to try and to put order into our life but there is not a liner structure when we perceive time.  Its flexible just like when are.  We bend and shift everyday in so many ways on our process of discovery.  Really we know so much yet there is so much more to understand, which is exciting.  We are on an adventure right here and now to learn, grow, love and discover our gifts.  If knowledge is infinite then what we must be able to learn is infinite as well.  Take that dive into the infinite and see how deep the rabbit hole does go.

We are at the week of another eclipse which occurs on Wednesday.  Again this series of eclipses are setting the framework for the upcoming year.  Today you will lay the foundation of the transitions into growth into higher consciousness.  We have all chosen to be here on Earth at this present moment in time to help change our global perspective and shift into the Aquarian age.  Each and everyone of us is here to contribute by pouring our love into whatever we do.  Everyone is at their own unique point in their growth process so honor that and also be willing to help.  Through our work, play and being ourselves we are able to shift awareness and evolve.  Trust that great times and hardships are a part of this reality but the way in which we steer our ship is how we are able to ride across this endless ocean with grace and love.  Things may feel slow at the present moment but thats due to the fact that many things in our universe and consciousness are shifting heavily.  A new way of living and being is upon us and taking shape so take this week with much grace and optimism to feel the sun’s warmth radiating down on your chest.

Now find the power of Sunstone by your side.  Its a stone that promotes positive thinking, optimism and vigor for life.  If we find that we have become sedentary this stone with create magic in our world and help us to see the light.  Its warmth will help to raise one’s self worth so that we feel confident in all that we are creating on this planet.  Through an empowered self we can shift and lift any dark moods and situations presented to us with ease and lightness.  Whenever we shine light into the dark corners of our beings there can be a rebellion.  These old feelings and patterns will shutter in the light and find all ways to escape from it.  When you shine the love on it and kill it with kisses so to speak we are able to break down those doors and find a new open landscape.

Wear your sun for all to see.  When we stand in our own true light our radiant glow will put a smile on everyone’s face.  Trust that change comes from hard work and with diligence and dedication to self with the power of the Sunstone we will fly.  Really be able to discover what it is that you need and how you contribute to the global society.  Be very open and truthful with yourself and how you communicate your needs.  Let your truth be spoken.  Everything that you do is felt across the web.  Place a Sunstone on your solar plexus (third chakra) to feel your inner fire burn hot and bright.  Our inner fire is where we create our world in this present reality.  When its strong our posture is strong and our spines upright.  If you see people floating with their sun beaming out their fire and burning bright their third chakra is strong.  If you notice your fire is faded or just beginning to burn add the energy of this stone to it for there maybe some debris stuck to the third chakra limiting us.  There are times in our lives when we want things but they do not come to us.  It can be linked to our third chakra so its important to free our inner flame to manifest our dreams more fully.  Let those dark emotions surface so that they are visible and able to let go of.

The third chakra relates to commitment.  If we find that we are low in our inner fire bulk it up and as thats done our commitment to ourself, others and the world at large will solidify.  You need to commit to committing and you will see the difference in that moment.  The energy will shift and you will feel that lightness again.  Feel that energy right now as you sit reading this.  Feel what it feels like to have that huge darkness lift off your shoulders and be released out to the universe.  It makes you breath flow deep and free.  Ahhhhhhhh.  How lovely.  Enjoy your time in the sun.  For summer is still upon us but closing soon which will usher in a new mode of preparation.  Be outside as much as you can and enjoy the views of wherever you are.  Surround yourself with the people and places you want to reside in for the next year and trust this is where you need to be in order to be your highest self.

Love the sun, fire and love from within your and so without.

I love you.
Light.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: July 27, 2009

Moldavite with a touch of Peridot

Greetings.  How does this day find you?  Its a time when a lot of stuff is on our minds.  Are you feeling the excitement of the summer but also the feeling of waiting for something? We are in the middle of the eclipses and August will bring us the beginning of the transformation period.  We are being hit but all these cosmic phenomenon and its being felt and observed that many people are swimming along just fine while others have been stuck.  These celestial events have been sent to raise the vibration of the planet as we travel through the ascension process.  They are gifts that may seem like burdens because those who are not ready to release or align with this higher vibrational energy source will feel stuck.  This explains why many have gotten sick, feeling like they have no purpose or having trouble recovering.  These are all symptoms of our energy not being fully prepared to move forward.  We do have a bit more work to do which is OK, because we should feel grateful that we have a problem so we have something to work on.  We are all at different points on our journeys so wherever we are now is right where we need to be, but in order to accept our highest purpose we need to do a little more work and Moldavite is here to help.

Moldavite’s origins are linked to a meteor crash with the Earth.  Due to the heat generated from the impact this magical green stone was created.  Its only found in the Czech Republic where the impact occurred.  This stone has had much deep significant impact in my life as well.  Its known as a sharp teacher.  Everything that is not within your highest purpose will be shed quickly.  To be in the presence or hold a piece of Moldavite will give you a huge rush of energy.  Make that commitment to yourself first and begin.  The amount of things that you will see leave your life will astound you but be prepared for these things we may have built our life around.  Jobs, friends, habits, what have you that have been there may leave very quickly or become apparent that they are no longer serving you in your highest purpose.  With this heightened ability to clear yourself, chakras and life you will now need to fill the space that was created.  Whenever we surrender and release through Moldavite and up to Source we will find our troubling situations be healed or released completely.  This sounds wonderful but it is up to us to choose to release these things.  As we age our habits become more and more ingrained and to transform habits that have been instilled for extended periods of time are more difficult to fully surrender them.  They get debris attached to them which makes them heavier, denser and takes more light to blow through them.  With the power of this stone on your side it acts like a cannon to blow those those dense energies.  When we fully commit to ourselves through love we are able to release these dissent energies and feel free!

Moldavite leads us to freedom through its intense medicine.  Under the influence of Moldavite we are able to tap into other modes of time space in order to see forward or reflect back.  We are able to go forward to place ourselves where we need to be and take the steps in order to reach that space of actual existence.  It also gives us the gift to see back in time to pull out our gifts instead of feeling frozen presently from events that once were.  As we live and get hurt the body freezes and we feel fears and emotions that shut us down.  When we are frozen we are stuck, stagnate and not mobile.  It all starts with fear.

As fear washes over us it puts our emotional and physical body through much torture.  We are unable to process the information from the universe, ourselves and others that are given to relieve this pressure.  We disconnect and retract inside our shell because we are putting so much pressure on ourselves.  We stay static inside our being and realm of existence for it feels harder to fight what is new than leave what is familiar.  Thats what old habits, situations, connection are sometimes.  They are familiar and we’ve added so much to them over time that to just fully let go is nearly impossible.  As we work on melting fear then we can connect to our hearts.  For fear is the opposite of love.  Release the fear stored in the kidneys and see the light shining within the heart center radiating outwards, which will give us better integration of change and understanding.

For us to move out of fear we need to bask in love.  Make a mental mantra as you go through your daily life of saying internally “I love you.”  Direct it towards yourself.  The you being yourself and see the changes that occur in your life.  As we use the Moldavite to release all these binding emotions and situations to then fill that space with love is what needs to occur in order to proceed forward.  You will be thrown all over the place and remain ungrounded without the internal support of these three words.  The vibration that is set when one says I love you is astounding.  Send that message to yourself, loved ones, people on the street, pets, drivers who curse at you, whomever for we are all deserving of love, but it all starts with you.  As we love and accept love then everything seems to release effortlessly, our genetic makeup feels it and will shine out to the world.

I would like to share s meditation that will help with melting our frozen selves.  First take your palms and fold your thumbs over to touch the pads of your palm below your little finger (the point should be the opposite side of your knuckle).  Point your fingers as straight as you can.  Raise your right arm straight up hugging your ear and your left arm up and out in a 60 degree angle.  Hold your arms there and breathe long and deep for 11 minutes.  It is ok if you cannot hold your arms there they whole time but over time you will see the changes in your body physically and emotionally.  Keep it up and breathe deep for you are doing great.

As we melt we will use Moldavite and a hint of Peridot to find and integrate your life’s purpose.  Peridot has been given to us to open ourselves up to new awareness, feel confident as we move, forgiving ourselves for our past and give us new energy for the future.  We get stuck but the tonic of both these stones will motivate us towards our desired position in life.  If you were to be asked what your tombstone would say today for all to remember you by what would it be?  If its not where you desire it to be or its on a different track then lighten up and move in that direction by using your gifts, love and the stones.  When we do the psychological work these stones paired with releasing the energy up to Source will remove the self imposed shackles.  Peridot allows us to forgive ourselves from the past which is a step that must be taken first in order to be ready to be present and proceed forward.  Everything that we have done in life has put us in the space we inhabit right now and we are in divine and perfect order right now.  Trust that and try not to take things personally.  You have not done anything wrong, no one is leaving you, you are not being punished.  This happens because we are strong, brave and courageous and have the ability to break through this and make it easier.  Lets these old things die in order to be reborn to extend towards ascension.  When we love ourselves so strongly nothing can bring us down.  To move through love is a gift.

We are being set into motion to take the tools you need with you in order to prepare for NOW and beyond.  The choices we make affect our future and the stones will hook onto the light so we make these decisions with highest intent.  We go through hurt in order to get stronger and melt daily.  Melt in the fire of your own love and radiate an internal harmony of alignment to then shine upon others.  These stones will put you in alignment for your dreams and love will keep you grounded during these times of intense growth.  It will feel like everything is in a revolution in your life but its is alright.  Empower yourself with infinite love everyday and you will feel fulfilled.  Love its the fluid nectar of existence that will keep us flexible and charged as we dance into the sun.

Take these gifts, share them and integrate them on your journey wherever it maybe.

I love you.  With light.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: July 20, 2009

Jet

Welcome again to another installment of the crystal of the week.  This week commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon walk.  It was a moment in history where people came together and humans reached outside our little blue sphere. This shows our courage and skill to achieve anything that we set our mind too even when it takes us outside the box.  But I ask sometimes what more is coming of this?  As a kid growing up there was talk of moving humans to the moon in space stations and the Jetsons showed us a whole alternative world where we would buzz around in hover cars all across the universe.  When we look at this, it makes us realize how small we actually are in perspective to everything around us.  The fact that there are places in the universe that are 100s of light years away.  The concept in unfathomable really because light travels at 186,000 miles per second.  It would take light 100,000 years to travel across the milky way.  The macrocosm that is our universe is beyond belief but lets flip it inside out into our own internal universe.

The body is a complex universe itself.  Its capable of so much and we live in it daily.  We discover more about it, are constantly eluded by it and our relationship to it.  We live in the trinity of the soul, body and mind.  We are constantly negotiating between who we are, how we live, the fluctuation of the planets and tides and the planet herself.  There is so much that we want to understand and yet in this reality not everything is concrete but is felt.  This idea highlights our complete interconnectedness to all.  There is a bit of trust in this because there are some who say if I can’t measure it, it must not be real.  Whereas there are others who have had experiences with energy and alternative realities so they have solidified this concept of reality.  No one is neither right nor wrong but with the study of quantum physics we start seeing and believing that there is so much more to this life than was once expected. We are shifting our world view and its gotten to a point where some have completely disconnected to Source.  Its turned into a world based on greed and suffering.  I see it especially with the recession and the shifts in education.  This old world mentality is trying to be held on so tightly that its taking the air out of everyone.  Its in the moments of trying to grab onto anything that it can so it can survive.  Its up to us as light workers to buckle up and transform it into light.

I keep hearing about the state schools and universities taking away art from the children and young adults.  I couldn’t even think of my life without my artistic upbringing and yet being an artist is looked upon like a pretend vocation in our American society.  Artist shift our perspective and have a different understanding about the world.  We live life differently though under the same constructs.  If your not going to teach kids to be creative then we are making a new generation of slaves.

The world is shifting and there is hope.  The generations that built this world are making way to the next generations of indigos, crystals and star children.  There is a potential for heaven on Earth but right now we’ve hit a moment where everything just seems to suck.  Our comfortable world is starting to get hit but it only means its time to get creative.  New thinkers and companies must do more than before to change their ways to meet the needs of this changing universe.  With these new thinkers we will find a harmony.  A harmony that exists internally and when a level of that is achieved it can be taught and passed down to the next.

What holds us back with all this?  Fear is a huge factor is our world.  We live by fear we are bombarded by fear, between the media, ourselves, friends, our parents fear is everywhere.  We let fears run our government and our global collective.  Even the progressive stage of California could not ban Proposition 8.  People have found “truth” in hating other groups of people.  Its been passed down through religion and from generations to breed the next children of intolerant people.  We are to busy fighting and fearing one another to actually negotiate a planet of peace, but these fears are deep rooted.

I have fears most definitely but in the moment of greatest fear is when we choose to stick our head in the demons mouth or run.  To face fears we have to remain grounded in our reality.  If we get up in our heads then its a nonstop runaway train of “what ifs,” and “oh my gods,” and everything that deters us from actually transforming these fears into light.  The mind isn’t always connected to reality so we have to shift down into our lower chakras for this.  Especially with the next eclipse upon us and the affects of this are unknown we must really trust our resources along with our greater understanding that we will be provided for and if it may not seem that way ask for help.  We need to ask the universe for assistance at times and put our faith in Source, but a huge part of this world is through our own determination and self worth.  When we recognize and feel love we are limitless.  If we are tapped into our universal light and feel the flow when its given to us its a real treat to morph into our highest being.  We do not come to this life fully evolved so we do our best to move beyond our limitations, and a stone to help with this is Jet.

Jet is actually petrified wood that has be crystalized over time.  Its been used for generations by healers and shamans and has very old soul connotations to it.  Jet is sometimes known to become part of the wearer of user.  Its a protective stone and its excellent for clearing the kidney channel on the body that lies on the bottom of the feet.  Its grounding properties and promotion of the rise of the kundalini force is what makes it an ideal stone for clearing our kidneys which is where we store our fears.  If our bodies are not functioning correctly it could be due to lack of movement with the kidneys and we feel off kilter and ungrounded.

Jet is a very mysterious stone and is very light in weight when you pick it up.  Due to its deep black, shinny surface it fools the onlooker to think its a stone of great density but is quite the opposite.  It to has a very strong vibration that clears our base chakra.  If we feel like we’ve taken on a lot of energy that has made our base chakra slow down, the application of jet will promote movement and let us feel our root into the Earth.  Its crucial for us to remember our roots that exist at our base and through the bottoms of the feet when we stand.  In moments of great energetic dizziness take a moment and pause.  Center your alignment and imagine roots coming down from your base and the bottoms of your feet.  Feel then dig deep into the Earth until they reach the core and hook it.  Let that energy stabilize you and you can use jet to focus your energy in these situations.

Jet is here to help us take control of our lives.  So many people I see are up in arms about the changes in society and wonder how they are going to live.  If we continue to not be sure how we are going to survive we are constantly going to be in a place of ungrounded living.  I’m not saying not to be realistic, see the world and acknowledge the changes in it.  That mindset will lead to a life filled with fear, doubt and feeling lost as we try and walk down our path.  Why put so much pressure on yourself?  We all do it and can even be a good thing to help us be motivated but trust in the energy of jet to take control of the reins of the carriage.  We hold onto them always and if we let go of things that hold us back we are able to ride free through the lakes and valleys of our universe easily.

This week is a week of recovery, filled with much brewing and also the eclipse.  We have been doing well, have been releasing and moving through life.  Remember to make conscious choices as we move.  Break down your walls and feel your serpent energy raise from the base of your spine out through your head.  For when we clear ourselves we are able to make a plan and tap into our mystic heritage to trust ourselves and live the life we are meant to live.  There will be trails, hardships, and ecstatic moments but as we meld our being with the universal light we move more freely without baggage.  For what has happened is done and what is coming up we have no idea so live in this now.  Let go, trust, love and know that you are capable far beyond measure if you just breathe.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: July 13, 2009

Aqua Aura

Hello and welcome.  It seems that almost everywhere I look people are feeling low or talking about a world filled with chaos, repression and lack of commitment.  The planets are forming conjunctions and alignments that support these feelings resonating in the lower vibrations.  Things are happening to people and the global environment is looking weak.  When has the news really painted a positive picture of our external universe?  People embrace the drama some even live for it.  We find a comfort in our dramatic pursuits and dealings with others.  We steer towards the drama in our conversations.  It even translates into a victim mentality sometimes.  I feel it too and I know that we need to vent off steam or find ways to remedy icky situations but its a choice to live in drama or try and move beyond it.  Drama is just our inner turmoil surfacing and us not recognizing internal situations that need to be adjusted and transformed.  In this road it becomes a chain reaction.  We ignore one thing that festers and mutates to then form something else that amoebas off to form a new organism formed from that same origin.  We will always encounter these situations in life just due to the nature of the universe in which we live in, but how we choose to morph these feelings and patterns is how we raise towards ascension.  If we sit and blame not only others but ourselves for what we have done or why we haven’t fixed an inner issue that has stuck with us for years we are only feeding it.  Its important to recognize these problems because ignoring them just gives them time to gather steam.  If we are able to recognize our issues its the first step in fixing what it is that we want to fix.

There is a subtlety in this process of dealing with drama.  Ask yourself if you crave these feelings.  Maybe its so present that you don’t even know that you are feeling these feelings all the time.  We are constantly negotiating and renegotiating our perspective on life and where we stand admits all the drama in a micro and macro scale.  As discuss earlier we are bombarded by the media that only seems to report drama from the tragic loss of a gunned down child to Tori and Deans latest argument.  Its everywhere and I hear it with my peers too who would rather watch My Super Sweet 16 than take a class or read.  We seem to be fascinated with a “train wreck” world.  We’d rather watch people who are not the brightest people or have other extreme characteristics because why?  Its entertainment but what is it ultimately feeding?

Granted we all need a break from things.  I do as well.  But is everything really that hard to sit with?  The mind puts labels on everything and says that its either easy breezy or hard and impossible.  We have the power in this life to transcend anything or prevent anything from happening.  Our physical body is a manifestation of trapped and held onto emotions and energies that haven’t found a place to be released.  These energies have found a home to make their own and cause chaos bigger than what could have been done if we actually dealt with that issue straight away.

It takes everyone their own time with things so I’m not here to tell everyone that they need to do it this way.  I need my own time to deal with things as well.  I’m just presenting some perspective because we make things seem like there is no way out of where we presently reside.  We do this with work, life, where we live, family, relationships what have you but we have the key to unlock any cage that is not within our highest purpose because we are the ones that put ourself in that cage so we have the means to release ourselves.  That feeling of freedom is such a wonderful state of being, it gives me shivers.  Though we can’t just wish for something and have it come into being because it takes action to bring about change.  But give yourself patience and grace during the process and afterwards for we are each in our own state of development and everything is in divine and perfect order right now.

This brings me to the crystal of the week which is Aqua Aura.  This crystal is a man treated crystal.  The process is that they take a clear quartz crystal and cover it with liquid gold and heat it up which creates the Aqua Aura’s blue coloring.  It is believed that this stone will free us from limitations.  This is important to us right now with the eclipses approaching for they are setting the patterning for the next year.  The choices we make in the new couple weeks and the individuals we choose to surround ourselves with will stay with us says the planetary alignments.  Like this along with everything else is malleable but it is the supposed structure of the nature of things to come.

The universe is giving us gifts in order to raise us into the heaven we belong to live in.  We are building it everyday with devotion and the ability to shine brighter.  The power of the Aqua Aura will strengthen this ability because it activates our being, and promotes communication of the heart.  With Mercury and the Sun square Eris; Venus and Mars in Gemini our life may seem difficult and we may have trouble communicating our inner dialogue externally.  We are here as friends and loved ones to speak and listen and its crucial especially during this time to do so for our collective family.  Be extra patient with yourself and others if they find it hard to express their words just remind them of the energy of this stone and the words will fall out like rain.

The Aqua Aura will activate our soul energy to live in our highest potential so all these fears that are bubbling up will be easily shed.  Fear is everywhere.  Parents are instilling it in their kids which is passing this fear down to our future leaders of the planet.  People fear that which they do not know and are basing themselves in traditions that speak truths but find ways to extract that and form other meanings.  The world loves to create pandemonium to get everyone all in a tizzy but its up to us to transcend those fears.  We must activate our kidneys which is where we store fear and process all that we see and feel.  If we are fearful then we are giving ourself and excuse not to do something, but we are fully capable.  In order to break this fear we must take the time to gather our resources to form a plan.

This crystal will bring peace when we sit with ourselves and promotes channeling and receiving information from Source.  When we are open to listening to ourselves we will be open to listen to the Universe and both share infinite knowledge.  Now is the time to shift our mindsets and stagnate patterning for its only the mind trying to limit our goals of success because its always busy trying to perceive and make sense of everything that it gets us confused at times.  We have the power to say yes or no to the mind, and to ask ourselves what are our limitations.  For when we see that we have those we can find the way to go beyond them.  We as humans mentally and physically can do and be more that we can ever imagine.  If you can think it you can make it, live it and be it.  Feel the vibration of this stone close to you for this week and give you the ability to activate yourself, start something new or finish something you didnt’ think you could finish.  Aqua Aura is here to assist us be our true self even in a world filled with fear.  Fear tries to break us down but if we shine our light and that of the Aqua Aura at it that fear is nothing more than a fleeting memory.

Imagine a pendulum of Aqua Aura tracing the meridians of your body.  Have it start swinging at the bottom of your right leg.  Find a spot that you are holding and let the power of the crystal clam those energies.  Once one spot is clear moved up your leg to your base chakra.  Feel it open up your base and feel grounded in your truth.  Move up to your sacral, navel, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown.  Feel the Aqua Aura open up and activate all your chakras into alignment.  Look internally and image each power center orbiting in place in a steady constant speed free of debris.  Let it activate your crown and feel the energy circulate through your entire system.  Once you are open and clear move down your body to your left leg to your foot.  Root into your being and the Earth to solidify your practice and notice how the energy has shifted and what you encountered along the way.  Be open to writing about what may have surfaced or if you need to investigate things further.  May the energy of this stone give you the light to guide you along your path past all obstacles into the future of a new heavenly world order.

Hello Earth.  Take a moment and check in with your body and energy right now at this present moment.  What sensations are you feeling?  I’m sure many people are recovering from the holiday and celebration of freedom.  During this celebration its more than just for the country we live in but freedom from all that block us from living our highest potential.  Its the freedom to liberate oneself and elevate.  Again take a moment and sip in a few deep breathes and see what is going on in that complex system of yours.  Whatever it maybe sit with it and ask yourself, am I taking the steps necessary in order to remedy this situation?  Think about what step on the journey with this situation are you on?  Is it just the beginning or have you been working on this for a long time?  Is this an easy short journey or a long in depth one?  Whatever it maybe know that it is yours and we are here to live this life in all its facets.  Know the truth that all is flux and someday through process, work and letting go it will be set free.

This week is just another step along our journey and to assist us with the energy of the week is Labradorite.  Its visually an amazing stone that looks like that of something from another planet.  When you hold up a piece of Labradorite in the light you can see its inner magic come alive.  It shimmers in waves of blue, green, oranges and yellows.  This shows us the power of the light for it brings out our inner wonder for all to see.  Labradorite has many uses.  Its the bringer of light.  It helps to keep our energy field complete and free from others who try to deplete and project onto us.  It boosts our intuition and frees us from past disappointments that we may still be holding onto.  Labradorite calms an overactive mind while turning us inwards to give us strength of self and the universe at large.  It will break down illusion.

Tomorrow brings us the first of three eclipses that will begin huge energy shifts to us.  A lot will happen in a short period of time.  It is a time of huge transition that will rock parts of our being that are not longer working and even challenge things that are working.  These eclipses are transitions set up for us to hunker down and work on that which needs to be worked on and strengthen all parts of the collective.  For when we get through a trial of great effort even if its difficult to do so at the time, once you have made it to the other side of that journey you see the light.  The work is just about to begin.  Please use the energy of the Labradorite to aid during this time.  It will give us the ability to open our communication with ourself and with others and we will have conversations we’ve been putting off.  It’ll get to the core of the dissonance energies that will emerge due to the eclipse and now you will find the way to resolve it.  Gaze upon the surface of the Labradorite to see deeper into yourself.  You will find comfort in knowing that you are a deep being who will always have things to move though but when you choose to stand in the light your magic will pour out.  It will become visible for all and if you are surrounded by people who can’t see your beauty make a change.  Those who care about your truly will bask in the light with you to create hues so bright that others will only be able to look your way for short periods of time.

Its been predicted these next six months or so are going to be tougher than the last.  There is much going on in the world and much clean up to be done in order to progress towards ascension.  Its time to pump ourselves up so bright to bursting.  We are all on this journey but know when in the “here and now” there is not a constant tugging from the overactive mind and ego telling us where we need to reach.  The mind is constantly telling us we need to improve and distracting us from being.  When we realize that we are just being, be the best we know how, and take the steps to better ourselves it releases the restrictions we put on ourself.  You can do so much more than the mind thinks you can do.  We limit ourselves and when we trick the mind we can surprise ourselves.  Even if its something you think its impossible shift the mindset and ask yourself if you were given a huge sum of money would it shift how well you were doing that you were doing?  Find techniques to push yourself out of your stagnation.  Think of the migratory birds and insects who fly thousands of miles.  If one of those creatures cannot keep up then they risk being lost.  The leaders of the flock have founds ways to ride the air currents to seamlessly travel great distances with minimal effort.  Spread your wings and fly and know that if you cannot flap one more beat ask the universe to assist and it will.  Woooosh there goes and updraft for you.  We have the ability to do and be anything in this life so play loud.  But if you are not there yet do not fret.  For if you rush through the journey and get to where you are going then you’d be stuck at the end of the path and have no where else to go.  What then?

Allow yourself to turn inward and also connect.  The mantra to pair with the use of Labradorite is “SA TA NA MA.”  Its a Kundalini Yoga chant derived from the mantra SAT NAM which is the seed of truth of our consciousness to have us wake up to our true being.  This chant SA TA NA MA will reprogram our subconscious mind and shift our evolutionary potential.  SA is the beginning infinite, TA is life, NA is death and MA is rebirth.  This chant will rework our inner frequency causing habitual actions and reprograms us free from these addictions.  Yogi Bhajan says that “Behavior patterns are the result of the radiance of the psyche and frequency of the magnetic field in relationship to the universal psyche and magnetic force.”  When our bodies are out of balance so is our universe.  This chant stimulates the pituitary glands that will open our entire body up and live as a balanced being.

This remind me that I have just finished a self portrait that I have spent the last two years working on.  Its been quite an evolution to reach this space and I am thankful for all the points along the way.  It feels right but I know its only a step in time and another portrait will come along and I look forward to see what is the same and what is different.  I have opened myself up to introspection during this time to reach this state.  I can thank the magic of Labradorite now to keep showing me the light in things you may not think posses light as I progress forward.

Use the power of this stone to help you balance and move along through this week into the rest of your days.  Here is the painting entitled “Inner Peace Outer Glory Vol 1,” for your viewing pleasure.

Inner Peace Outer Glory Vol.1

I wish you much peace for the time is come and the time is now.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: June 29, 2009

Malchite paired with Rose Quartz

Greetings earthlings.  We find ourselves upon another Monday in the closing days of June as we now enter the heat of summer.  Summer finds us with exploration, resilient energy and joy in our hearts though many may not feel as such after the events of the past week.  Astrologically and collectively we experienced huge shifts and rifts along with the passing of many major public figures which sent shock-waves through us all.  These few individuals had made a huge impact on the world and left people with memories of their talent that will stay with them through this life and beyond.  Michael Jackson, Farha Fosset, and Ed McMahon have been in the public eye for quite sometime now and have contributed to the development and space in which we inhabit today.  Without them we’d have no Thriller, Charlie’s Angeles, Tonight Show and much more.  People are at a loss this week at the tragedy of the passing of these icons.

People are born, die and resurrect daily and its important for us to transform these feelings of hurt into inspiration to live our lives.  These few individuals were trendsetters, movers and shakers of the world and have become house hold names.  We ask now who’s next?  Who can fill the shoes of these superstars and go beyond them to the next levels of existence and global transformation.  Is it you?

Before that happens we must take a few moments.  We take all our own time in our healing and grieving.  Its important in this process to feel everything and know the only constant in this world we live in is change.  If it feels like to much hold yourself and breath.  Let the air fill your entire body activating every cell for breathe is a gift you can give yourself all day everyday.  We do it automatically but when done so with intention and purpose it grounding, stimulating and is our life blood.  Reflect during this time on your past, present and future and be able to breathe through all these moments in hopes for transformation.

The stone of transformation is Malachite.  Its a beautiful swirled stone of usually hues of greens and blacks.  Its a stone to be cautious of due to this toxicity levels and raw stones shouldn’t be handled.  It’ll clear your life of pollutants that may bother you and is known to give you spiritual guidance.  Life can be intense with the use of this stone for it gets to the core of problems but opens us up to beautiful horizons.  Its useful for deep emotional healing which may come up during this time and stimulates introspection.  Malachite is also wonderful for breaking old patterns and teaches us to take responsibility for our actions.  And helps us with the re-birthing process and for all you phoenixes out there you know that this process takes time, much love and support.

As we step forward daily in life we must negotiate so much.  We are constantly in a flow of shifting ourselves, building up and breaking down.  We are living in a world of opposition and duality, which when used in practice we discover the push and pull works naturally with each other as one discovers when they practice yoga.  Yoga finds the harmony between both sides of the world.  We need one side in order for the other to exist and we need to go through intense growth and even pain at times to emerge on the other side filled with glowing light and bright smiles.  This is our choice to choose.  If you need the extra support of love during this then turn to the Rose Quartz for this.  It teaches us the essence of the infinite true love.  This stone assists us with accepting change which will come about from the use of Malachite.  Rose Quartz is a calming, loving stone and will open, warm your heart and teach you how to love yourself.

Many people in this world have the problem of not being able to accept love in their lives.  Love of self, from a parent, friend, coworker whom ever.  With this problem there is a solution.  We have to start with ourself.  Do I love me?  Ask yourself that?  You should get a audible reaction or energetic one right away.  Listen to it for it maybe different from what you originally thought.  And if its different sit with yourself and think what is it that you want?  Have a rose quartz with you along this journey of self reflection.  With the power to be able to go inward we are able to move through the world easier, get to the places we want to be in the light we want to present ourself and have other perceive us.  This is an important gift to be able to access for if we ingore our inner universe what happens to our outter one?  Its chaotic and unpredictable.  To be able to jump into that process and remain in loving light during that time is something we all need to be able to do to heal and progress forward as a collective of light beings.

As we transition we must hold true to ourselves for we are the movers and shakers.  We may or may not be recognized by everyone in the world yet but we are definately felt.  The mother spider has weaved her web and even if we hide we are still strung together.  Connect to your pulse and send the highest vibrational signal you can out to others who maybe hiding and need your help on this ride.   The road is long and we do fall into traps and feelings like we need to be doing doing doing or are not doing enough!  Life is not measured by how much you’ve done but who you are as a being.  If we get wrapped up in doing then we forget living.  To live is to be one true infinite and to breathe is to live.  Dig deep and aim high.  Remember to love inside first and transform all that feels like its not working into light.  Live your change and be what you want your world to be.  Remain steadfast for the mind will try to block you and set judgments and mindsets upon you, but with the help of the Malachite and Rose Quartz their energy will lessen the blow and assist you on your journey.

Bathe yourself in the pink energy and visualize a pink flower at your heart center.  See it spinning and sending chords of light spiraling from your base up to your crown.  Repeat the mantra to help with self love which is ” om namo bhagavate vasudevaya.” When the flower of pink love surrounds you completely see it fall away and see your skin becoming the same swirl pattern of Malachite.  See the patterns move and flow through your body and comforting you in the coolness of its energy protecting you for your quest.  When you let the swirls dissipate crack through and shimmer yourself in the golden light fullness of your being.  You are complete.

You have the strength and ability to do and be anything, regardless of what anyone else says but commit to your universe of highest good now and love yourself unconditionally along the way.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: June 22, 2009

Lapis Lazuli

What a beautiful morning and day it is today.  This week finds us with optimism but there is much that seems to shadow this feeling,  cloud our minds and tries to lock down our soul.  When we see this happening we must realize we are the great liberator because we have been created with the power of choice.  If we see something not working internally, within our network of close friends or even the world at large we can take the steps to remedy a situation for the highest good.  What needs to be done first is cut through the fears and fog in order to see clearly and know which way we need to go in order to make the choices best for us and the collective at large.  How do we do this?  We know what its like to drive through fog at night.  The car flies through the grey dense air but we have to be careful for we do not know what is coming up ahead until its practically on top of us.  If we decided to turn on the high beams in order to make things clearer it in fact has the opposite affect and we lose sight of our direction.  When we tap into the energy of the lapis we are able to direct a slight beam through all the muck and emerge at the shore and our destination.

Lapis is found many countries around the world and is know as the stone of enlightenment and protection.  It harmonizes our being and cuts through the subconscious blockages.  This stone activates the throat, third eye, stimulates brain activity and clarity of thought.  It makes us turn inward in order to realize our inner resources to amplify creative expression without limits.  It has us integrate our truth while allowing unreleased fears to surface and be communicated.  For when we hold onto these feelings they mutate and fester to provide a unhealthy energetic and physical body.  As we open up our internal universe we can express it to the external we strengthen our relationships and honor the true power of Oneness.

If you are having head pressure place a piece of lapis on your third eye and feel its current flow through the busy mind, calming those feelings and bringing forth peace and inner confidence.  We have the power and ability to do anything in this life, thats why living is so exciting.  Remember though that if we want something so bad and it doesn’t seem to be here yet, that there is something blocking our path.

Lapis when paired with the energy of Ganesha the elephant headed deity known as, “the remover of obstacles,” will clear any path no matter how thick the fog maybe.  ”Ganesha namah om namo namah,” is a powerful Hindu chant that has been used for ages to call in the energy of the elephant headed God to assist you along your path.  Both Lapis and Ganesha are focused energies that stimulate our inner deity, and create change to penetrate deep into our souls so that our true self will emerge.

Its easy to sit in the dark dampness of our problems and hang ups like Golem.  We obsesses and fixate on the one thing that drives us mad instead of seeing the alternative option.  When we sit in these feelings we lose track of the sun, light and stars.  The physical appearance of lapis reminds us of the gold light breaking through the deep darkness.  There is hope to face our fears and sing!  With lapis we are given clarity of mind and ease of the soul so that we can make a plan.  The thoughts flow clearly and easily so that our focused intent will be revealed.  The most amazing thing we can do for ourselves is work towards healing that which holds us back, negative feelings we harbor and transforming ourselves towards the highest vibration.

With lapis remember to give yourself love afterwards.  The energy of this stone is intense and is a cleanser as it cuts through dark energy.  Once that energy has been cut through we need to heal it with a paring of a heart crystal of calmer as Rose Quartz or Amethyst.  For these stones fill in the openings with love and support.  The lapis is the drill when we go to the dentist to remedy a cavity.  It may hurt at times but it reminds us that when dealt with in the moment there is no need for intense drilling for our inner resources are strong and beyond measure.  This also reminds us to be gentle with ourselves along this journey for when we clear out something we must fill it with amazingness.

Bring in the power of the lapis into your being this week.  You’ll want to focus on the color of deep blue surrounding you and once that is visible in your minds eye picture pin holes of light beginning to show through this thick fabric.  Eventually more and more gold light breaks through creating patterns, shapes and points to focus your mind.  See this gold light shinning on the inner creatures that command our being and asking them to transform into light.  This gold light gives us the strength to stick our heads right into the mouths of the demon for in that moment we are no longer afraid and now stand fully radiant in the sun of our own golden light.  This will get us past our binding minds and tap into our spiritual connection.  After we have shown the mind we are capable of so much it’ll shift its perspective and habitual patterning to assist us more and more.  Once you have found your light reflect it to those who are searching for theirs.  Be a neutral unconditional reflection for them and allow them to change and gown in their own time.  When this is practiced we realize there is no need to project anything onto others.  The Aries point reminds us that we are all one community and when allowed to flourish we find our inner utopia to transcend into the outer realm of existence.  Our light inspires others!

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: June 15, 2009

Kyanite

I hope this week finds you all well.  We open today to grey days and cold winds but sprinkled with hot sunlight.  We find our energies operating in a similar manner too.  We could be smiling and skipping free to be stopped in our tracks in introspection and disarray.  This is all part of being human and understanding this we made a choice to experience life in this form and its up to understand out truth of being and be ourselves for I am my own unique me.  When we get a hitch in our get along buck up, lighten up, look up, think up and be up for we make the choice.  Sure we may feel influence, pressure or what have you but when you turn out all the lights all you are left is with yourself and the life YOU have made.

Remember everyday is a new galactic arrangement of the pulse of change.  This week take with you the attributes of Kyanite to assist you along your journey.  Kyanite has many forms and many colors.  I’ve seen blue shards shaped like blades and black stones shaped like angel wings.  Any form helps to cut through illusion and reach our core truth.  It amplifies our spiritual life and connection to our guides while manifesting the spiritual realm into reality.  If you feel disconnected this week this stone will open up your intuition.

This week, today and all days is perfect for self expression and speaking out or needs to others.  Its all to often we quite our voice as to not feel: threatening, bothersome, arrogant, hubris or an array of different emotions.  In not expressing our highest truth we diminish our internal light of self.  We give our light away or let it be snatched up.  With the help of this stone we are constantly reminded to open up as we cut through fears and inhibitions that keep us from expressing our inherent awesomeness.  We are wow with all positive and negative attributes so say yes to the wow!  Its all about discovering and living the truth for yourself.

There are times when we wish we said something or wish we hadn’t said anything at all then once that event occurs we fall down the cavern of emotions and “what ifs.”  This is our mind trying to torment and depilate our Prana of life force.  Prana is our breathe and you notice when we are in these states we are not breathing.  Open up and say Ahhhhhhhhh.  A sigh of relief that what happened has happened and there is next time to try something different.  If this is habitual then sit with Kyanite in meditation to find the mantra to best support this change.  The affects of the Kyanite during mediation will assist you in formation of your highest self by connecting to your highest mind.  During this meditation your chakras will align, have greater links into the causal level, and build up your aura.

As you spend these days filled with light and dark realize your own light and find your own instrument of discovering truth.  With a blade of Kyanite you will be a vigilant solider of light, balancing yourself and seeing your inner worth of created perfection.  Link up to your highest self to break open your shell that maybe has been keeping you from experiencing joy in the present.  Kyanite one of the special stones that does not take on negativity and we can take that quality and apply it to ourselves.  If we encounter negativity during this life and we will know that we can release it seamlessly and fully.  Trust your resources and understand that things will happen but our life is up to us to shape and create everything to our best ability.  Connect, commit, trust, and change.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: June 8, 2009

Bloodstone paired with Moonstone

Welcome to a new week.  Its been quite an experience as it is every week but now is the time to dive into the work.  There is so much going on.  The dips and rises in our lives are ever present but this week we find comfort in these two stones which symbolism and frequency go hand in hand in manifesting our dreams and feeling comfortable in our own skin.  As we know the world is a constant change which is in actuality is a pulse of waves.  We begin from the big bang and end into singularity to then begin again in an eternal swing of the crystal pendulum.  We go through cycles of beginning and ending but put faith in that all is temporary.  Know that we are never ending or beginning but constantly regenerating our physicality, spirit and soul light years everyday.  Its difficult to document these changes for its just like the movement of electrons around the nucleus of the atom.  They skip and hop and all you never see their trail but they have shifted position to a new location and now resonate there until their next jump.  Its time to jump.  1.  2.  3…

Bloodstone is knows as the “stone of courage.”  In ancient times it was used as an oracle stone which would speak to people to give them guidance.  Its a powerful generator of energy and stimulate for the blood to keep our inner flow fluid and effervescent.  It helps us to be selfless and understand that there are times when great chaos precedes great insight and transformation.  Bloodstone has an important quality of dispelling confusion so that we become clear in the present moment of our path, what actions to take, and the strength to go headstone into what is next.  As it does this is strengthens our blood rich organs and cleans our base chakras.

Moonstone is known as the stone of “new beginnings.”  Its connected strongly to the moon and her cycles.  This is important for us to understand because again the world is constant change and even a single planet of huge mass can appear different and feel different but the core of ones being resides true and pure.  Due to the moons etheric qualities moonstones are connected to our dream state, the discovery and acceptance of our psychic gifts.  Our physic talents are possessed by everyone yet not everyone believes or accepts them.  They are inherent gifts because there is so much more to life than just the visible.  And when people understand that the illusion they see before their eyes is just that a whole new plane of existence emerges out of the universe.

Moonstone is excellent stone for dealing with stress and side effects of the body in its reaction to stress.  If one is feeling erratic, emotionally lost  and manic this stone helps to dissipate those feels out so we can focus.  Its a great equalizer, calmer and is excellent for healing the digestive track.

Moonstone paired with bloodstone is the ying and yang of stones.  One creates energy while the other calms.  So find moments where you need the energy of your inner blood river and times when you want to relax in the silver glow of the moon.  Both can help each other in generating healing while remaining clam in the present moment.  The stone of courage will give us hope and the resources to forge ahead in life while the stone of new beginnings keeps us fresh and ever open to discovery.  When we stand on the cliff looking over into the fast valley below that seems that is goes forever remember our inner gifts and courage to progress.  Once you commit to taking the first step the other steps will fall in line.  Even if you trip take a moment to breathe, honor the divinity within and know this is for your highest and best good for not only your inner universe but the collective universe as a whole.  Embrace yourself, let go, and change now.  We have the power to generate our own courage to start on the path of a new beginning.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: June 1, 2009

Citrine

As we welcome in this new month and begin times of great sun and warmth this stone will help herald in that change.  This stone has massive connection to the heart and especially the solar plexus chakras.  It helps to boost self esteem which is brewing from our core and power fire center in connection to the color yellow.  To visualize the golden hues of the citrine will bring one into a greater understanding of their own self worth and pride in all that they do, have done and will achieve.  When we move from our core every action we take is energized and empowered.   It is because all of our extremities spiral from our inner flame exploding from our power center.  Take time this week to dance.  And when you dance visualize the inner golden fire of transformation raising in all directions from your core and feel the difference of the intention of your movements and you maybe surpised at your own creativity.  Take strength in the warmth of your inner sun, which is maintained by the power of the citrine.

It is also important to note that citrine is a stone of abundance.  If placed in your office and in the southeast corner of the house its a constant reminder of the abundant flow of not only your vocation but your passions.  Meditation with this stone helps to open the crown and create a strong central line between your cosmic connection and your physical means of manifestation which is centralized at your core.  As you meditate feel the golden thread that connects us to our source fully align with our inner intention for change and see all your dreams coming into true solidified reality.  Citrine will open our creative means of achieving all these tasks we want to accomplish and strengthen our inner resources to make it happen.

Citrine when placed on the navel will help break up anything that maybe dysfunctional in the core.  As we heal our physical body we are able to move through life with greater ease and understanding because we are a clear divine vessel.  Using citrine for healing purposes will strenghten ourself and build our inner abundance because when we realize that we are a wealth of magic so we will see it in front of our eyes.  This stone is a key to achieving your highest potential in life and utilizing our divine gifts bestowed to us since creation.

Feel into this stone.  You can find it just about anywhere.  Carry it in your bag, pocket or keep it in your house.  Know that citrine has created a frequency that enables the stone to never take on negative energy.  Its constantly transmuting any negative energy thrown its way and sheds it out.  Have this powerful lesson be translated to yourself.  We never need to take on others energies even if we feel we are helping.  There is so much that we need to deal with and work on as an individual but to add to it isn’t beneficial and creates problems.  Whenever you feel you are taking on others energies or falling into a trap of a repetitive negative outlook shift it immediately by clutching your citrine or visualizing it in your minds eye.  See flames brewing from the center of the stone and flowing our to encapsulate your entire being until all has been released.  Remember I release myself completely from all that no longer serves me.  And as we generate our self worth and alignment with our concentration during this process  the creative bug will bite and our wings will spread allowing us to soar right from our inner fire of strength power and devotion.  You are blessed.

Rhodochrosite

Take a moment and find a picture of this stone on the internet, in a book or real life.  It has the most majestic banding of pinks and whites.  It resembles ripples of the cellular world.  Looking into this stone is like seeing inside ourselves and marveling in the mystery of life, self and transformation.

This stone is considered the stone of selfless love and compassion.  It is one of the stones imperative for healing and maintaining a healthy heart.  We go though many situations that drain or hurt our own heart energy and with using this stone, wearing on the body or even carrying around the your pocket will bring light inside the dark spaces of the heart.  I wear this stone on specific spots on the heart meridian used in acupuncture.  I just go about my day with this stone taped to one of those spots and over time my heart energy has built up and I feel stronger and more capable of moving through difficult situations and loving every moment along the way.

Rhodochrosite is a helpful stone to remove denial and assimilating painful feelings without shutting down completely.  Its able to bring these feelings to the surface of your reality and behold the truth to learn and grow.  This helps to promote self love, feelings of being unloved and confronting paranoia.  Through all this discovery we are able to maintain a positive outlook on life.

One can wear a piece of this stone on their wrist or over their heart to let its vibration radiate though our entire being.  We use this stone to help feel accepted internally which then comes out into the physical realm.  When all feels right inside we take that feeling with us and share it with the rest of the universe.  Image all the individual universes of the self merging with others in their highest truth and purpose.  Who knows what could be created then.

Clear Quartz Crystals

Quartz are known as the most powerful healing stone due to their helical spiral crystalline form.  It is an excellent balancing stone and can restore harmony to any condition.  Clear quartz crystals are extremely helpful during meditation and to a quartz placed in each hand with their points faced in a way to create a loop of energy can revitalize anyone who is feeling low.  Quartz clusters are beautiful and have the ability to clear dissonant energies present in the house.  The quartz has the ability to transmute these energies and send a pulse of calm into a space.  Clear quartz brings clarity to mind, body and soul by giving us each a clear channel of connection to our source and to receive answers we’ve been looking for.  A quartz point placed above the head with its point facing out will remove negative energies from the body and placed inward will receive healing energy from the crystal.

These clear crystals can be used to send messages and high vibration to others at long distances.  With the positive use of these stones one is able to share their light with themselves and with the world.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: May 11, 2009

Prehnite

There is so much beauty that lies within this stone.  Its external coloration resembles that of the inside of a kiwi.  Its a vibrant green stone that contains black spots or threads of Epidote inside of it. Discovering the healing properties of Epidote is also important for those who are drawn to Prehnite. This stone is known as the healing stone for the healer. As we go through our lives we discover that we are all healers in our own way. Weather it be through our writing, interactions with others, healing work or in other ways Prehnite will support us. It enhances an active connection to the infinite while keeping us very stabilized within ourselves. Prehnite is an important stone for helping one clear and cleanse themselves and others. This is unique especially during meditation. And through the practice of meditation and connecting to our higher self while using Prehnite one is able to enhance prophecy while finding out how to progress ones spiritual growth. Its helpful in letting go of feelings of neglect, fear of abandonment or lack in ones life. Its a “decluttering” stone in the physical and spiritual world.

If you find yourself lost or wondering how to heal yourself in this crazy world of ours discover the power of this stone and take it home. Sit for a while and learn that this stone has properties that when used correctly will help us in profound ways by illuminating our lives. Prehnite is here to turn us inward and find that our inner core essence is our truth and its always here whenever we need it. When we feel alone it maybe hard to proceed, but with comfort that this stone brings we are able to tap into our inner well of love and acceptance and direct that light towards ourselves. These feelings are natural but we can recognize that its more powerful to let these feelings go now that we’ve found what we have been looking for all this time. Its us and our connection to our infinite being. We all have the capabilities to help others and it is of our highest good and intent in which we must do so in order to benefit the collective family so that we continue to evolve as one.

CRYSTAL OF THE WEEK: May 4th, 2009.

Green Tourmaline

This stone’s source is from Sri Lanka. The properties this stone possesses are vast and numerous. Its extremely useful in promoting creativity and finding inspiration. One is able to see other pathways for solving problems in their everyday life when the creative center is opened with help from this stone. It has a transformational effect on our energy, stimulates positive thinking and well-being and supports growth with father figures. Also its helpful for maintaining balance while opening up the power center that is heart chakra. If you find a piece of green tourmaline attune it to your heart and ask it for opening and giving you greater understanding of your creative resources. We are all tapped into the great well of divine inspiration and meditation with this stone will open the minds eye for creative problem solving while we negotiate our path.

I have experimented with wearing this stone on my left wrist which is an energy channel connected directly to the heart. All day I felt inspired and pulled towards my art and even ways of thinking about situations that had been bothering me. I was able to move like the butterfly from one creative project flower to the next with ease and joy. I wondered why this felt so effortless to accomplish and remembered my green tourmaline and it all became clear.

Enjoy the energy of the green tourmaline this week. Even if you do not have the stone you can visualize it in your minds eye and connect to its vibrant green light energy in that way. Visualize the stone that is blocking a giant cave being removed revealing the bright light of treasure and a wealth of knowledge right in front of your eyes. Look upwards and see the explosions in the sky to confirm the awesome power that you are.
