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.

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
