​This is a message to help remind everybody at this very moment in time how important and also how simple it is to make changes to your own life as well as to world events.

We may be tempted to fill our days with good deeds and busy action, thinking that the changes we effect through this will change our world.

This is certainly not to be sneered at but it is much more potent to go within and change the way we are thinking, feeling and radiating, which will then lead to inspired action. It is this inspired action which will feel wonderfully natural and joyful. Through this time miraculously expands and funds manifest themselves effortlessly.
It is all about being in alignment with your True Self.

If you do wish to see positive change for yourself, others and the world at large, here is a message from the Venusians reminding us how we can achieve this easily:

'Love. Love lies at the centre of your Being and at the core of every Soul on your planet. It is by focusing on this detail that great strides are being made when it comes to the transformational changes on your planet.
Connect with and really feel this love radiating out from your Hearts into the Hearts of others, especially those who have been branded as ‘dark’ or ‘evil’ by those who do not fully understand the workings of the Universe or your reality.
Really feel this Love connection and know that this is the key to transmuting any energy or space.'

We are being encouraged to get together in groups, link up and radiate this LoveLight out from our Hearts into the world. This only takes a few minutes.
As time and space do not really exist we don't even have to synchronise our connection. As you do this process allow yourself to move beyond time and space and you will be able to link up with all others who are also working in this way.
A few minutes of your day to connect to your Heart and send LoveLight to yourself and out into the world is a small exchange for the benefits this will generate.

For those of you who prefer to be guided through this process:
There is an approx. 8 mins. long guided connection / meditation on our YouTube channel for this:
Venusian LoveLight Connection

Do not underestimate the importance or the potency of your participation in this!

This is all I wish to share with you at this moment.

As always Marcus and I are here if you have anything to share.
Much Love, Blessings & Gratitude

This 56 Second video guides you through the steps needed to make a Crystal Essence Spray that will energise you and your surroundings to allow more positive energies to flow.
Enjoy!

Connecting to the Stars
We are being encouraged to connect with that which is beyond the physical. If you open your mind and allow your perception to expand outwards and upwards you may find that you are able to transcend the limitations that the physical reality brings.

It is time to connect with the true Essence of yourself, releasing the natural talents you have brought with you from birth.
Know that whatever situation you are presented with – you always have a choice about how you think and feel about it.

Ground yourself into this and all will work out well for you even if everything around you seems to crumble and descend into unpredictable chaotic events. Just because reality seems to spell disaster for some it does not mean that it needs to spell disaster for you!

Good Crystals / energies to connect with the higher realms: Clear Quartz, Chalcopyrite (Peacock Ore), Moldavite, Bismuth

Connecting to the Stars MP3 meditation.

In the UK March signifies the beginning of spring. Around the 21st March we will celebrate the Spring Equinox. This is the day after which we will start to see more light than dark. It signifies the time for us to start physically manifesting the things we dreamt about during the long night of winter.

We are sowing the seeds for our autumn harvest.

It is the time to spring forth and to get ready to burst into bloom with our new creative forces after an extended period of rest.

The Crystals I like to connect with at this time are Citrine, Pyrite and the metal Gold. The colours gold and yellow feature strongly in this, helping us to activate the Solar Plexus Chakra, re-enforcing the energies of confidence, being the true you, manifestation and creativity.

Citrine uplifts, brings joy and helps to expand our mental thoughts into the emotional body which is the force that attracts what is needed for physical creation.

Pyrite is grounding, activating, helps us to clarify our intentions and brings us the confidence to be true to ourselves.

Gold is the ultimate way to reveal our individuality and validates our worth. It shows us that by respecting the value of others you will find you own self-worth.

3 Ideas to use these energies:

• Place / visualise Pyrite on your Solar Plexus for increased confidence.
• Make a Citrine Essence spray to infuse the energy around you with joy and a feeling of expansion. (You can follow our quick Citrine Essence making guide here)
• Connect with Gold to increase the value of self and others in your life.
  
  

Conclusion (summary for quick reference)

• Connect to the Stars to expand your consciousness into who you truly are. Good Crystals: Clear Quartz, Peacock Ore, Moldavite, Bismuth
• March signifies the UK’s beginning of spring time to burst forth.
• Take some physical inspired action towards manifesting your dreams.
• Good Crystals / energies for this month colours yellow & gold, Citrine, Pyrite and Gold.

Please know that these are by no means the only Crystals I used to help me transcend life issues and to open me more fully to my intuition and guidance.
However, in hindsight they are the main ones I used every day (not all at once). Either by carrying them around with me or at night time to cleanse myself of unwanted energies accumulated during the day.

1. Lapis Lazuli
This came to me very early on my journey and I used it every day for several years. Lapis Lazuli is expansive and it helped me to remember how to connect to my true self.
I found it calming, protective and it gently opened me up to my intuition.
I re-visited using Lapis again when I programmed a piece to help me expand the work I did with my Crystal groups.

2. Clear Quartz Point
There is one Clear Quartz Point that joined me when I began to study Crystals. It was the first Crystal that ‘spoke’ to me. It said ‘I’m not perfect but I will work very hard for you.’
This one is still with me and I use it almost every day for healing, energising Essences, drawing symbols and to help me draw off unwanted energies.
We are best buddies : )

3. Carnelian
Before discovering that Love is my best protection, I went through a phase of carrying Carnelian in my pocket to help me feel grounded and protected. It’s warming, grounding energy made me feel strong and safe.

4. Selenite
Selenite is uplifting, absorbing and connecting. During a time when I was doing a lot of clearing it helped me to release negative emotions and to get back into the flow of the higher dimensions.

5. Labradorite
A Labradorite Palmstone played an important role to keep me from feeling overwhelmed at a time where I was running a lot of Crystal groups and courses. One of my tasks is to harmonise the energies in a space and between people. At times this can feel very busy for me. Labradorite helped me to view everything from a more positive perspective.
  
6. Seraphenite
There was a time when both home-life and my Crystal work was exceptionally busy. Seraphenite helped me to feel at peace with myself and my limitations, accepting me the way I am. It is also a very uplifting stone that encouraged me to reach my energies higher in order to connect more fully with the Angelic realms and above.

Which are your favourite Crystals and why? You can feel into this more fully. Consciously feel into which energies and tools work best for you in any given situation. This will help you to develop an energetic toolkit that you can use again and again.

Conclusion
Over the years my favourite and most valued Crystals were:

1. Lapis Lazuli – to open me up
2. Clear Quartz Point – healing & energising
3. Carnelian - protection
4. Selenite - clearing
5. Labradorite – balancing emotions
6. Serapheninte – uplift & open more fully

Polarities

Centring ourselves is a crucial skill that we can make good use of over the coming months. Be prepared to face strong opposing forces either directly involving you or from the point of the observer (my preferred point).

As we are moving towards unity due to the Ascension process the opposing forces will be experienced as becoming stronger, like two opposing magnets repelling themselves. They will either separate completely or one will turn on its end and ping back onto the other to form one piece.

Either way will be an interesting journey and either way you will be absolutely fine!
By Lyra Bain

Tips to keep you centred

• Take 3 deep breaths with your eyes closed, feeling the coolness in your nostrils.
• Use all of your senses to focus on something. Animals, plants and Crystals work well.
• Hold a piece of Blue Kyanite
  
  

The Month of February

February is the UK’s last winter month (officially). We are still in hibernation mode but need to slowly get ourselves going in order to come forth out of our cosy winter bed, brush ourselves off and get ready for the brighter and warmer days of spring.

It is also time to organise our thoughts and feelings and think about which projects or ideas we would like to bring into manifestation this coming year.

For me personally the Crystal for this is Green Fluorite. Its energy helps to clean off negative impressions left in the mental body and helps to organise energies, ready to get things done.

When I was working on the Green Fluorite Meditation I felt compelled to clear up my desk…

4 Ideas to use Green Fluorite:

• Keep a Tumblestone with you or on your desk to stay organised.
• Place a Fluorite cluster in a room to help people get along and be productive. (Office?)
• Do the Green Fluorite Meditation to connect more deeply with its energy (available for free during February)
• Combine Fluorite with Rose Quartz to allow yourself to feel love without the negative conditioning of your mind.
  
  

Conclusion (summary for quick reference)
​

• Keep centred to weather the polarity battle gracefully. Good Crystal: Blue Kyanite.
• February is UK’s last winter month good for getting ready & organised.
• Think about what you would like to manifest this year.
• Good Crystal for this month is Green Fluorite.

Your to-do list is as long as your arm, the house is a mess, several people are waiting for you to get back to them and you dread opening your e-mail because you sense that what’s in there will only add to your workload…
You know you should get stuck in but you just don’t feel it, you can’t get yourself motivated to make a start!

A Creative Approach

Here is my (slightly unusual) approach to this: Forget about all of the things you feel you need to do (Truly forget!) and do something fun!
The knack is for it to be guiltless fun. Guiltless fun is when you do something that:-

• You really enjoy.
• Can lose yourself in completely.
• You can do all day & night without feeling you need a return for it.
• It’s all you think about when you do it.

Helpful Hint: It does NOT involve watching TV or using any other media such as Youtube, Facebook, etc.

Example: A friend of mine loves dancing. When she dances the rest of the world disappears. Her thoughts are fully engaged with the pleasure of dancing.

The good thing is it doesn’t need to be something as active or involved as dancing. You could simply just pet your cat or dog or care for a plant, provided this gets you into a positive frame of mind.

The Next Step

Connect with the energy of Fluorite. You can pick up a Fluorite Crystal and sit quietly for a couple of minutes holding it near your Brow Chakra (in the middle of the forehead).
Alternatively – during February 2022 - you can listen for free to the approx. 7 mins long Fluorite meditation here: Connecting with Fluorite - Green
Fluorite can help us to release negativity and feel more organised.

Discipline

Now comes the bit where you need to apply a bit of discipline – do the thing you love so much for about 10 – 20 mins only!
Just long enough for you to get up off the sofa and get into gear. Once you are in gear it will be easier for you to keep rolling. In addition your negative mental chatter will be reduced and it will become more apparent to you which of the things on your to-do list to tackle first.
To help you do this you can use the energy of Red Garnet.
Sit and hold a Red Garnet Crystal near your Solar Plexus.
Alternatively, simply call on its energy.

Reward

Make sure that, once you have completed at least one of your ‘dreaded’ tasks, you reward yourself with more of what brings you joy.

Conclusion
​
Use something you enjoy doing and the energy of Fluorite and Red Garnet Crystals to help you get into gear and going.
That way you lower the resistance you have built up in your mind about your to-do list and start to enter a more joyful way of going through your day.

Much Love, Blessings & Gratitude

January is right in the middle of our UK winter. This means it is a very good time to stop, go within to take stock of the things and knowledge you have accumulated over the past year.
It is also a good time to reflect and identify the things you no longer need or wish to change. It’s time to clear out – detox! Not just physically but energetically too!
After your physical clean and cleanse of your body and home it makes sense to energetically cleanse yourself and your surroundings too. This ensures that the new energies that will come in during the spring will find a prepared and fertile ground to flourish in.
Your path ahead will be clear and straightforward as you have cleared all obstacles this month.
Some ideas for an energetic cleanse:

• Cleanse your energetic body with a Healing session
• Clear your aura with a Meditation
• Give all your Crystals a good clean & cleanse
• Do some space clearing around your home
• Remember your outdoor spaces and car

The Crystal that most resonates with me for this month is Clear Quartz – the name says it all!
3 ideas to use Clear Quartz

1. Use for a clearing Meditation (see Clear Quartz Clarity)
2. Place in a clear glass bowl filled with good quality water and place in your living space to help cleanse that area. (You put this in a spray bottle afterwards for future use)
3. Use a Clear Quartz Wand to sweep through your aura and your home to help with cleansing.

Conclusion (summary for quick reference)

• January is the UK winter month perfect for going within, taking stock and clearing out.
• Remember to also cleanse energetically with Healing and Meditation.
• Good Crystal for this is Clear Quartz.

If this has happened to you, you know how devastating this can be. Your favourite Crystal fell out of your pocket or hand and crack…

Personally I thoroughly dislike it when this happens. However it’s good to keep things positive so here are some explanations of why this may have happened:

• Your Crystal has had enough. Over-use and a lack of cleansing means it is (literally) ready for a break.
• The Crystal had a weak point to start with. Some Crystals reach you when they are of falling apart and would have done so whether they were in your care or not.
• A Crystal that is split into two parts can be useful for certain types of Crystal work, such as sending energy through a body part for healing or uniting people over a distance.
  ​

Feel into the situation of how, where and why your Crystal broke and decide on what feels good and comforting for you.
Personally I would avoid the ‘OMG that’s such bad luck!’ thought and choose to tune my thoughts towards something more cheerful.

What to do with a broken Crystal

Sit down with the broken Crystal and meditate to see if something in particular comes to mind.
Things that I have done in the past with broken Crystals:

• Using them for specialised healings which require two halves to either side of a body part.
• Re-polishing it if only a small piece broke off.
• Gluing it back together (sometimes this is possible)
• Placing them in plant pots or in the garden (especially broken wands – they look really funky sticking out of the compost)
• Returning them to nature
  
  

Conclusion

In the end it is up to you whether you wish to see this as a bad omen or an event that needed to happen in order for you to make positive changes. Personally I use the event of a Crystal breaking as an opportunity for me to stop and listen to what changes I need to make in order to conduct my life and actions in a more deliberate and peaceful way.

Q- Why is this such a difficult time for us?
A- You need to face up to your worst fears, so that you can once and for all let go of these old Wounds that Bind You. As well as Heavy things, stopping you lifting up it is also Bindings. Take an Air Balloon when you let go of theirs, then you can fly up to these new Realms you have not been to in a 3D body before.
To be able to go to these places whilst in a 3D body is a totally new experience for all but a few. We know you have ventured this way before Marcus and many others. However only for brief glimpses never for the rest of your 3D lives.
No one else can let go of these Bindings for you, only you yourself can enable it. It no longer matters what the original lesson was that caused these events in your past lives, but that is irrelevant now anyway. Only letting it go is important. Remember to say Thanks though as this lesson as all others has put you where you are now, Glory, Glory, Glory

The above message was received by Marcus Bain and first shared with our Friday Night Light group on 19th July 2021.
Much Gratitude to the Arcturians for sharing their wisdom with us and to Marcus for relaying the message.

Life can be filled with many challenges. Your daily life is busy, fast moving and seems to constantly bombard you with new impressions, things to do and jobs to complete.
Here are some reasons why energy healing can help you redress the balance between you and what life demands of you, reconnecting you with your true, happy self.
 
Making space for you and your need to relax, let go & connect in a meaningful way
You could go to a yoga class, for a walk in the woods or talk to a good friend. These are all good choices for relaxation but may not offer you a path to re-connection with your true, happy self.
If you are looking for happiness, an experienced Energy Healer can help you replenish your energy field, re-balance your whole Being and give you guidance on how to steer your life in the direction of joy in a relevant way.
In addition it is a confidential service that ensures that what is being shared during the session remains private, offering you the opportunity to offload your worries to a deep level.
When you attend an Energy Healing session you are taking time out for you and your need to lighten the load of whatever it is that has prompted you to seek assistance from a Healer who is sympathetic to your situation and needs.
 
Energy Healing harmonises you with your surroundings
During a healing session the person transmitting the healing becomes a conduit for the Universal energy that will help to re-instate your natural balance of body, mind, emotions & spirit. Everyone has access to this Universal energy, but when life gets busy we sometimes forget how to connect with it and use it to replenish ourselves.
This is when the Energy Healer steps in to help replenish and guide you to re-connect you to your natural happy state.
The healing reduces the friction and contradictions that you feel within your own Being, thus bringing ease and happiness back into your existence.
Life today reflects many different facets of what could be true. Pretty much for every statement that is being made and proven you will be able to find one that – equally proven – contradicts that statement.
If you continue to follow life as it is presented to you via your outside world it is likely that you will enter a state of dis-harmony.
One way to leave confusion behind and to enter a state of harmony is to get in touch with your own Inner Truth.
Seeking an experienced Energy Healer to help you replenish your own energies and then guide you to re-connect you with your own inner Truth can significantly speed up this process.
This is the Truth that bubbles up from within. Sometimes this Truth is still distorted due to false beliefs you formed when you were young or when you were in an unbalanced state and thus more susceptible to internalising false beliefs.
An experienced Energy Healer can help you to let go of these distorted viewpoints at a profound and deep level. Once this is done you can re-connect to your true happy self and create beliefs based on Love, Light, Peace, Truth and Freedom.
 
Healing connects you with what feels meaningful and joyful to you
Rather than connecting with your True Being that knows only Love and unlimited Freedom you may live your life according to beliefs and rules that you have allowed to be placed upon yourself.
You may have forgotten what is truly important to you.
Through guidance and advice an experienced Energy Healer can help you to re-establish your connection to yourself and the things that you find truly important quickly.
A Healing session can bring you closer to the True You through the warmth, acceptance, unconditional love and guidance that is offered during that meeting.
Through experience of life, seeing many clients and at being connected the Healer is able to guide you and put you in touch with that which is truly meaningful to you.
When we live our lives with purpose and a strong sense of what is significant to us we unlock the door to true happiness.

​First and foremost you are meditating and this comes with scientifically proven benefits.
Meditating –

• Reduces stress
• Controls anxiety
• And promotes emotional health

The above is just a small list amongst many other advantages.

Meditating with Crystals

• Introduces a specific purpose
• Directs the Meditation towards a desired goal
• Strengthens the positive effects your Meditation will have
  
  

When you add Crystals, and in particular Crystal Nets to your Meditation, you are giving that quiet space of contemplation a specific purpose.
You are pre-setting the theme of your Meditation so that it will direct your mood towards a desired goal.
For example, if you would like to feel more loving towards yourself and others you might choose to pick up a Rose Quartz Crystal.

Rose Quartz symbolises and reflects Unconditional Love. By holding, wearing or surrounding yourself with it you are sending yourself the signal of Unconditional Love. If you regularly subject yourself to this signal your energy field, mind & emotions start to become entrained with that reflection (pendulum clock synchronisation).
This will then have an impact on how you reflect upon yourself and others, meaning you are becoming more unconditionally loving towards yourself and the world around you provided you are not resisting the process.

Meditating with Crystal Nets

• Streamlines your Meditation practice
• Can bring faster results
• Opens your perception to a higher purpose
• Unlocks the pathway to real transformation
  
  

Using Crystal Nets – these are Crystal layouts that have been deliberately designed for a specific purpose – adds yet another facet to your Meditation practise.
Crystal Nets often incorporate Sacred Geometry into the layout. Our whole world (reality) is based on the principles of Sacred Geometry (see Fibbonachi sequence / Golden Ratio).
This Sacred Geometry has been used since ancient times in the planning and building of significant structures such as temples and churches.

Our human bodies are also based on these principles and for that reason BIG changes can occur when we use the combination of Crystals and Sacred Geometry.

Meditating with Crystal Nets is not only more transformative than merely meditating or holding a Crystal, it also offers a way to really pin-point the vibration you would like to achieve.
So going back to the example of using Rose Quartz above, you may choose to use 6 Crystals evenly spaced around your body.

The number 6 is a symbol of balance. Therefore using 6 Crystals of the same kind will create a space of balance and harmony. It greatly increases how receptive you are towards your desired goal, in this case becoming more loving towards yourself and others.

Give it a go and see if it works for you.

Find a short animated video detailing a Rose Quartz Crystal Net here: Rose Quartz Crystal Net Video

We offer 50% off our downloadable MP3 guided Crystal Meditations during July (that’s only £2.22 per meditation & you have it for life). Subjects covered are: Inner Communication, Loving Communication, Grounding in Love, Unblocking Creativity, Creative Communication, Opening Your Channel and more.

Wishing you all a fantastic July filled with Unconditional Love.

Meditating with Crystals can really help you to focus your energies more clearly.
The Easy Two Crystal Balance Meditation helps you to let go of stress and confusion. It can assist you to enter a space of balance on the mental and emotional levels of your being.
It is very quick and easy.

​Have a look at the video here for instructions

To meditate is to focus your mind for a period of time (rather than letting it roam free). Some people refer to this as the monkey-mind – jumping from one place to another without any clear direction.

There are many benefits to meditation. Here I share with you three important ones:

• Relaxation
  When you stop your mind from jumping all over the place and start to focus it in one direction things become easier. You will start to realise that some of the stress in your life comes from the way you think about things rather than from how things really are.
• Clarity
  When you switch your mind from racing around to being focused in one direction you start to notice that there is space that can be organised much more easily. It can help you to define more clearly who you wish to be, rather than constantly reacting to the reflections of other people or situations.
• Better Productivity
  Having a meditation is like having a mini sleep. It rests your body and mind which will make you feel refreshed, ready to tackle whatever you are planning next in a much more productive way.
  
  

This is just a short list of benefits, check out this page for a more extensive list.

Learning to meditate can be easy. Especially in the beginning there is no need for you to invest a lot of time or fold yourself up like a pretzel.
One of the first meditations I engaged with were little guided meditations that were just one minute long. Or, you could start by taking ten deep belly breaths and if this is too much start with three!

What is important is that you invest a little time for your wellbeing regularly. Every day is great, if it is less often at least it’s a start.

Here are 3 easy ways to get a meditation practice going by yourself:

1. Guided meditation
   This is where a tutor gently talks you through a process or a journey. Either in person or via an MP3 recording or a video. As mentioned above, these meditations can be very short and nowadays there are lots of different ones available.
   This type of meditation is suitable for those who enjoy following someone else’s lead.
   Find some examples here: Guided Meditations, Guided Crystal Meditations.
2. Breathing meditation
   Counting your breath, counting up to a number and then back down again, following the flow of your breath through your nostrils down into your belly are all popular methods for meditating. You can do this on your own or with guidance and it can be done anywhere.
3. Nature meditation
   Simply going for a walk in the woods or sitting down under a tree, listening to the birds sing and feeling the sunshine (or here in the UK raindrops) on your skin can allow you to enter into a meditative state. Try to spot a certain animal, like blackbirds or a certain colour like yellow and see how quickly this can focus your mind and attention.

Learning to meditate can be really easy and the benefits are great. Make a start today!

The suggested Crystals are not just for hot temperatures but can also offer comfort during hot, sticky situations & arguments.
This article is short and to the point. Give them a try and see for yourself.

Snow Quartz

The name says it all. For most people this Crystal carries calming and cooling energies.

Try: 1 x Snow Quartz Crystal on your Brow

• Calms your thoughts
• Brings Peace
• Lifts your spirits

Alternatively place 6 x Snow Quartz Crystals evenly around your body to expand this effect to your whole body.
 
Clear Quartz

Working with Clear Quartz Crystals can feel like jumping into a cooling spring.
Try: 3 x Clear Quartz between your feet

• Feels refreshing
• Clears stagnant energy
• Brings you Clarity

Again, you can spread this to include your whole body by placing 6 x Clear Quartz Crystals evenly around your body.
 
Blue Lace Agate

When you are calmer you are cooler is the motto here. Blue Lace Agate is gentle, and calls in Angelic energies.
Try: Place a Blue Lace Agate on your body where you feel hot, i.e. on your Brow if your head feels hot or one under each foot if your feet feel like they are on fire.

• Feels Soothing
• Brings Calm
• Initiates Peace

To cool heated discussions with others place a Blue Lace Agate on your Throat.
 
This one is a mini newsletter to help you through the next few days / weeks.

To your own inner Self. It is vital that at this point you stay focused on your goals of who you want to be and the world you would like to see.

Not the world you are seeing! Firmly ignore that one! Keep your vision on the beautiful emerging one - remember, the one filled with Love & Light etc.

One of the best Crystal exercises (in my opinion) for this is to use 6 x Clear Quartz Crystals and lay them evenly around your body.
If you feel you are being 'invaded' or 'polluted' by outside energies you can be more specific with this exercise by using Clear Quartz Points and face the points away from the body. This will help to draw off anything that does not belong.

Clear Quartz symbolises:

• Clarity
• Structure
• The Ideal

The number six is the symbol of balance and will support your whole Being in a harmonious way, enhancing your ability to connect to the higher energies.

Find more meanings for Clear Quartz here.

One of the most important things you can do just now for yourself - and with that for the world at large - is to enter a space of deliberate creating.

If you want to experience a better, fairer more loving physical reality then you need to create this within yourself first and stick with it!
That means you stop reacting to your outer world and start to live your life from within. 
Here are some tips that help you do this:

1. When you wake up in the morning, rather than letting your thoughts do their thing focus them on something you truly love and enjoy. (I love my warm dressing gown and socks!)
2. First thing, before you do anything else, have a meditation session. 15 Minutes is ideal but 10 focused breaths work too.
3. Check your media as late as possible. Once we do this we start to enter into reactive mode rather than creative mode.
4. During the day point out all the things you love and enjoy. (I love that I have food on my plate every day.)
5. Remind yourself often, take a few deep breaths every couple of hours or even better have a mini meditation session around lunchtime.(This will help your digestive process and your energy levels too!)
6. When you finish work / your chores and after being out give your energy field a cleanse. We use sound and brushing off, but you could also visualise taking a shower. Also visualise that any unwanted chords and energies dissolve.
7. Before bed think of at least three things you are grateful for. Take some more deep breaths and ensure that you are feeling good and happy before you nod off.

If you incorporate at least some of the steps above into your daily practice you will notice a difference. 
Learning ways to keep your thoughts and emotions clean is just like learning to wash and brush your teeth. 
I'd like to think that you are cleaning yourself physically at least twice a day to keep your body in good shape. If you wish to keep your energies clear and flowing then it is important to do the same for your mind and emotions. 

​This morning Joshua and I were looking at some words and how to spell them. One of the things we enjoy is to take the words apart and see if we can spell some other words with the letters contained in it.

As we did this with the word 'history', Joshua came up with the word 'story' and then it hit me! Here it is plain for everyone to see - history is made up of the two words 'his' and 'story'!

This put a lot of things into perspective for me. Whenever we look at something that has occurred, we are merely looking at a story. In fact, we as the human race have gone as far as calling these stories 'his story'. To me the meaning of this is the story told by someone else. We don't say 'her story' or 'my story', but maybe this is something we should start to look at.

Especially 'my story'! To me this word, when put together (mystory) sounds awfully close to the words mystery and - best of all - mastery!

So, this Festive season my gift to you is this little play on words. Maybe this will inspire you to take charge of your life and turn his-tory into my-story.

Make the telling of your story a positive and joyful one and be very discerning about what you allow to enter into the category of 'my-story' versus 'his-tory'. 


With Love, Blessings & much Gratitude for noticing & reading this
