On Surrendering My Business to Spirit
I’ve been in the process these past few months of deepening into my trust in Spirit, and the stone consciousness, by honoring the Universal forces that shape us and the higher powers that guide us. I’ve been letting go of my need to control (a fear-based impulse motivated by the need for safety), and allowing myself to be guided, supported, provided-for in my life and work.
Crystal Bliss at the Solstice
As the summer unfolds with the upcoming solstice (or winter, depending on where you are), consider skipping out on the circles, gatherings, chants, rituals. Consider spending it quietly, in nature, with your soul, Spirit, and a sacred stone.
Your Crystal Eclipse Survival Kit
We have a partial solar eclipse happening on Saturday April 30th at 18:45 UTC , and I’ve been feeling the churning this past week:
Shadow aspects, unhappy memories, frustrations, and discontents – it’s very like the eclipse to bring these things to the surface.
New Crystal Techniques for Your Daily Spiritual Practice
I feel now more than ever that having a daily spiritual practice is not only necessary for your spiritual growth and wellbeing, but a healing practice that grounds light and high frequencies in this world. A daily practice with crystals doesn’t need to take a huge amount of time.
Walking the Labyrinth with Crystal Consciousness
I’ve always been fascinated by labyrinths. Mazes are puzzles that have many paths and possibilities, often complex and confusing (not unlike life, I grant you), but unicursal labyrinths have one path that will lead you to center. Keep following the path, and you will reach your goal.
Evolving into the New Abundance Frequency
This is a planet of abundance, and as we tap into that frequency which is high, light, and ever so juicy, on a spiritual level we instantly begin to feel nourished and fulfilled.
Creating Space for Spirit to Enter: Crystals + Intermittent Silence
I recently read an article in a health magazine about intermittent silence: a practice you can do in as little as 10 minutes per day to allow your mind to pause and rest. You close your mouth and your eyes, and simply listen to the sounds around you while silently watching your thoughts. This gives your brain a break from processing, thereby reducing the effects of overstimulation (including stress or feelings of overwhelm)…
Earth Grid Medicine Journey with Black Tourmaline
We'll be journeying through space/time to guides and realms that are very real, just very different from ours, but are aligned with us through the light to help us evolve. We'll be connecting directly with the crystalline grids, their consciousness + energy, and each other to heal, channel guidance, and become a source of friendship + support for one another.
You Are a Magnetic Force: A Crystal Manifestation Practice
One of the big lessons I think many of us took from 2020 was the necessity of being able to adapt and thrive. Change is the only constant, and so much feels beyond our control. And yet, there IS hope, opportunity, invention, innovation, and magnificent healing that is happening all over the world - right now.
How do we tap into that, and invite some of it our way?
Crystal Healing for the Solstice: Beginnings and Endings
Can you feel the energy building?
It’s been building through this month, having increased in momentum after the new moon solar eclipse on the 14th.
It’s climax will be the solstice on the 21st - a ritual time of beginnings and endings.
How to Work with Alchemy Crystals for Transformation
If you’re looking to create significant change in your life, yourself, or your world, you can work with alchemy stones to help initiate or effect powerful inner and outer transformation.
Receiving from the Moon: A Full Moon Crystal Ritual
Has wonder lost its value in our modern age? It’s what sparks the imagination, ignites passion, suggests possibility. It invites that magical question: “What If?…”
It reminds us that there is more to this world than our day-to-day existence.
It entices us to seek out that more, and to become it.
Becoming Your Dream: A Leo Moon Crystal Ritual
I think many of us (myself included) could do with a little Leo moon juice + some joyfully mad-passionate crystals right now...
Ascending Soul: Crystal Talisman Magic for the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn
This will be a very magical eclipse, one that can initiate us into a new way of being - individually, and collectively.
Don’t miss out if this calls to you and speaks to your soul, because it means your time of becoming is now.
Crystal Healing Ritual for the Sagittarius Full Moon Eclipse
There’s great turmoil in the world right now - uprising, revolution, demands for justice, and they’re happening because this is part of evolution. We can’t be awake while still being asleep to what’s happening around us, to social injustice, to systemic racism.
We also can’t be awake if we’re asleep to our own shadow selves.
This full moon solar eclipse in Sagittarius (exact on 6/5/20 at 3:12pm ET), while the sun remains in Gemini, is an opportunity for us to look within, to learn, to grow, and to face our inner duality.
A Bedtime Crystal Ritual for Peace
We all need space for some peace and light to come in, creating moments of soul care and respite.
This ritual is simple, sweet, and loving.
Celestite: A Healing Ritual for Divine Intervention
Celestite is a strontium sulfate crystal whose fragility belies its majestic healing power. Its name derives from the Latin “heavenly”.
Crystals + Practices to Maintain Spiritual Alignment
The energy of 2020 is lined up to help us build our foundation for the next level of our success, fulfillment, Grace, health, new phase or story, but the key is setting this foundation in a way that is in alignment with our true heart’s desires and souls.
Working with Crystals at the Liminal Point of Consciousness
In Druid lore, the liminal point was sacred — a threshold between realms, time, space, and consciousness. In our modern age, we’re more familiar with trance, hypnosis, psychedelics, and meditative states when it comes to working with the liminal point, but the value and boon of threshold magic has never left human experience.
Allowing Fear to be Your Teacher: Crystal Healing for the Scorpio New Moon
Scorpio is all about the dark places, the hidden and unseen, our innermost motivations and desires. It’s intensity, death, lust, magick, psychism, power, deep emotions, and manifestation.
