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.

There’s a magic that happens when we combine crystal energy with congruent sound frequencies: it has an alchemical harmonizing effect that we experience right down to a cellular level. Let’s explore!

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.

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.

There was something I learned years ago when I was training as a healer: If the energy centre at your root (at the base of your spine) is out of balance, then everything else will end up out of balance, too.

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.

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?

I had been wearing these heart stones all day for positivity, good fortune, and abundance - but most importantly for feelings of self-worth, deserving, and the openness to receive…

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.

This is the ultimate crystal gift guide! Find crystals suggestions for everything from abundance to babies rooms, house blessings to weddings, and more! Plus links to online conscious crystal shops and crystal classes to make your life even easier.

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.

The concern is that all of this will push us collectively to a mental health breaking point - but it doesn’t have to, we can find healthy ways to respond that will help pull us, our families, and our communities through, better and stronger!

Here are some crystal healing practices + suggestions that can help you…

I think many of us (myself included) could do with a little Leo moon juice + some joyfully mad-passionate crystals right now...

The following crystal combinations help to address many of our needs, both physically and emotionally at this time of year.

There’s ALL KINDS of manifestation, goal, and achievement teachings + techniques out there, but as a busy person I tend to stick to those that are simple, quick, yet proven to be highly effective.

And as a longtime crystal pro, I like to put my own spin on them.

The earth element represents the foundation of ourselves, our lives, our health, and our world. Without a strong foundation, nothing can last or thrive, so the earth element is essential in our overall wellness + healing process.

So you’ve got choices in how you want to work this Scorpio full moon energy: is there some deep desire you’d like to have manifest, or is there something you wish to be freed from?

This new moon in Taurus invites you to look at the quality, not quantity, of your life.

How do you make your dreams happen? Here's the #1 most important step: Say YES to them.
