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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
