Crystal Healing

Pause, Play and Welcome to the Year of the Golden Rat!

Happy Miraculous, Meaningful, Melody Making, Magnificent, Marvelous, Majestic, Manifesting Monday! How was your New Moon? Did you celebrate the wonderful Lunar New Year where we now enter the Year of the Golden Rat! Whoot! I am so excited, as Rat energy is good for my animal!

I went and bought a huge box of the cutest little tangerines with stalks and leaves on them. Picked up 30 red envelopes from the Chinese grocery store downtown and then filled them with 2 loonies each (as you always have to work with an even number). I then spent a good chunk of the day delivering them to family, friends, neighbours and even random people lol, a little red envelope with money in it and oranges. A sceptic friend pointed out that I wasn’t Chinese; so why bother? Because it’s fun! Because it’s wishing others good fortune and a great Lunar New Year, because it makes me smile, laugh and raises my vibration to share, gift and PLAY! (Note that word as we are going to do a little exploring this week, yes?)

Last year one of the phrases I kept hearing was “I’m so busy,” No shit! Everyone is. We live in a society where we are more connected by technology than ever and like Pavlov’s dogs we jump when the cell phone goes off or there is a “bing” as the 90th email of the day comes flooding into our inbox. We rush from this event to that event and then collapse into bed at night clutching the medal of “Being Busy and Overwhelm” to our chests as we check our phones one last time before drifting off into an exhausted sleep. Then as the alarm goes off in the morning we reach for our phones to quickly scroll through social media. Seriously?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging, I’m just observing and speaking as someone who has done that.

But what if there was a better way? What if you gifted yourself with the time to Pause and Play? When I suggested that to someone a few weeks ago they looked at me askance and said “Jenn, I don’t have time for that and there is no purpose.” Ahhhh, grasshopper that’s where you are wrong. Taking time daily to PAUSE, to just BE, to not be doing, lowers your heart rate, calms your adrenal system, soothes the mind (eventually) and more importantly it allows space for your wise self to share with you, to be heard. Now I’m not talking hours, or even half an hour – unless you want to. I’m talking 10 minutes perhaps. It could be sitting on your front porch with a cuppa tea. It could be perched on a log in the woods, it could be curled up on your sofa looking out of the open curtains at the night sky. It’s that time where you gift yourself a bit of space and listen. Think about it, when you listen to great music, there is a pause – yes? When you read a book, there are pauses between the paragraphs and chapters – yes? When you take that deep soothing breath in, then hold for a few seconds prior to exhale – it’s the place of the pause. The place of playing in the infinite field of possibilities is in the pause.

Now let’s look at the PLAY aspect.

Have you ever walked down the street with a small child? They jump in the puddles, are fully engrossed with the worm they have found and notice the most random things that we, as adults, blow past – as we are busy, right? They are in the moment. They are playing and radiate joy like massive sun beams! If you’ve ever owned a dog and taken them out for a frolic, they are a fabulous teacher for being in the moment and playing full out. There’s a stick, there’s a ball, there’s someone to run with, what’s that smell, chase that bird, roll in that deliciously stinky thing, chew on a log. They aren’t worried about the future, they aren’t moaning about the past they just are! Now I’m not saying be a dog or act like a small child, but I am saying do something every day that brings you Joy, feels fun and makes you feel good! Why? Because it gives you a glorious release of dopamine which is great for your brain, it makes you smile, which causes the people around you to smile (or think you have lost your mind), boosts your immune system, rejuvenates and replenishes you and raises your vibration to attract to you more of what you WANT!

An example, I love to dance. I will dance in the kitchen when I’m cooking and now when I take the doggo out for a late night walk I have great soundtrack on and I dance for about 3 km. Does it make me laugh, heck yes. Does it feel good, heck yes. Do I look daft, oh gosh yes! But who cares. Whatever it is that makes you smile, laugh and have fun – do it every day and watch what happens.

I had a friend visit on the weekend who had bypassed her inner wise wisdom due to “feeling busy and overwhelmed” and was in a challenging head space, dealing with some life blips and quite fragmented. So after listening, making sure she was fed I invited her to come for a yomp with me. “I’ve so much to do, I don’t know……blah, blah, blah.” But she trusts me enough to know that when I suggest something to at least try it out. So off we went, I pointed out the eagles, the rainbow, the hummingbird, cracked jokes, danced next to her and I had even brought chalk! So we made some lovely pictures on the walkway and her shoulders started to drop down and there were smiles galore. I chased a peacock trying to get it to gift me a tail feather and she laughed her soxs off. We sat on a driftwood log embracing the sun and the waves flooding in. By the time we got back to the house (a whole 30 minutes!) Her mood, her vibration where deliciously high and she was laughing. Also, in that time we had nattered about creative solutions to the blips she was facing and because she was in the energy of fun and play she could hear them!

So I have an invitation for you. Are you willing to gift yourself with 5 minutes minimum of just BEING and breathing and doing one thing every day that makes you laugh and is fun? What have you got to lose?

I’ve been playing with this practice for a month now and have to say it drags me out of the blaugh, and I feel fabulous. It also brings up creative solutions, my intuition is higher and more importantly I am laughing daily (even if it is at myself lol).

Okay, enough chuntering on – but I’m serious about the invitation. Try it for 21 days and see what changes for you, for those around you and more importantly watch how delicious you feel!

So when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and share this week I grinned and laughed. The gorgeous Lightworker Oracle guides chose to show up and shine. The perfect guides to help you embrace your light, raise your vibration, pause, play and shine!!!

Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them:- This deck is for lightworkers and what I mean by that is old souls. They have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something at a spiritual level. They care about causes that stir their hearts. They are often the black sheep of their family. Does this sound like you? I know it does for me.

The crystals that wanted to show and shine are:- Angelite– brings serenity, inner peace, and a sense of calm, and it’s excellent to use with overwhelming stress. Rhodochrosite – opens the heart, lifting depression and encouraging a positive and cheerful outlook. It improves self worth and soothes emotional stress. Aragonite – helps relieve stress and anger bringing you patience when it is needed most.

Also,the gorgeous snowdrops and daisies wanted to come and share their light and they are happily ensconced in a vase on my table now.

So sweet pea, just breathe yourself back into your body. One slow deep breath, then exhale after another. Allow yourself to bring to mind what does the pause and the play look like for you, what do you want it to look like? As you breathe that idea into your being, just notice it, let it play in your minds eye.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that whisper, tug or invite you in.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

ORBS OF LIGHT

The spiritual worlds are delivering a message to you. You may have already heard it, through telepathic reception, and mistaken it for your own thought. Yet it is inspired by your higher guidance, those spiritual beings that love you without condition. It is an answer to a question and guidance to increase your happiness.

It is possible to pray without realising it. The Universe is lovingly listening to every thought and feeling in your heart and mind. When you intentionally speak to the Universe and ask your higher guidance to help you with an issue, this is a powerful way to call the light into your life. It works. Often quite rapidly! However, sometimes we ask for help without being so aware of doing so. Worrying about an issue or pondering a question are ways this happens.

There are orbs of light around you. They are spiritual beings that love you. These orbs contain information and energies that help answer questions – and worries – through the intelligence and love of the higher spiritual worlds. That information might come through a song, a phrase, a feeling or a colour or symbol that unlocks awareness in the deeper recesses of your mind and body.

To access the information of these orbs of light, to be open to seeing them more clearly, whether directly with your own energetic vision through clairvoyance, or through photographs or other means, do so.

Unconditional loving orbs are available to you at every moment, open your heart and invite them in.

INITIATION BY WATER

Situations have been rising in your world that evoke emotional reactions and challenge your opinions and beliefs. You may not feel in control. You may feel like your world, your own emotions, have become like a stormy sea in which you are tossed about – and you are doing your best not to drown in the chaos. Yet you are not to fear it. It is stirring that which has been held within so it can be released. The storm will pass and the waters of your emotions shall become more serene.

You could compare the process to a glass of water with muddy sediment at the bottom. The water appear clear as the mud is left to lie. Yet once that water gets stirred up, the mud rises. Then it can be filtered out, and the water will be clearer than ever before. The turbulence was a step that led to greater clarity.

The waters in the glass are comparable to your emotional waters. And the fixed opinions, beliefs or long-held emotional patterns based on unresolved past pain are the sediment at the bottom of the glass. Hold the glass up to the light. Can the light shine through the sediment? No. But it can be seen through the clear water. Remove the sediment, and the water will be clear enough to allow light to shine through without obstruction or distortion. The light is the light of Spirit, of higher truths, unconditional love, of peace, wisdom and joy.

UNPLUG FROM MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

There is a belief system based on fear, doubt and distrust this is known as “mass consciousness”. It says it is safer to stay with the crowd, not to question what you have been taught. It says you can’t trust the Divine to take care of your financial well being or your emotional needs. It says you should be afraid and not take risks. Its says that if you dare to stand up and live your truth, you’ll be lost and alone, humiliated, rejected or even destroyed.

You are being guided to unplug from that systems of beliefs. You are capable of a more creative, loving and soul-satisfying way of living. To access this, let go of the way that is too small for your soul!

You are brave and aware enough to think outside the box, beyond what society or your peers may consider ‘normal’. You are supposed to be questioning things right now. You are in a transition from one way of thinking to another, opening up to a new world which you can trust enough to live with peace and happiness because of the upgraded new beliefs you are cultivating.

No matter how others may resist or criticise your choices (perhaps your new ideas take you away from the world they feel comfortable in), your higher guidance encourages you to keep opening your mind to a more loving, higher reality.

Sometimes breaking from the accepted norm, doing things differently or being considered weird to family, colleagues and friends is a sign that you are breaking away from the consciousness of the masses, which is not compatible with your own higher frequency consciousness.

So keep unplugging yourself, one layer, thought, word and deed at a time, from that which the mass consciousness would have you buy into – more stuff, more fear, more competition, more doubt and more suffering. You can challenge any thoughts you don’t want to have. Free yourself. You have the power to change your world and the world we live in as a result, on liberating thought at a time.

Wow! Okay, there we have it. Lots to encourage us to step up and shine! So my delicious lovely I wish for you an amazing week filled with the pause time and the play time. May you give your wise inner voice time to actually speak, and more importantly to be heard and may you laugh like a 3 year old having their tummy tickled! Huge hugs and squeezes.

What does Integrity mean to you? Shadows and Light. New Moon in Aquarius!

Jenny Heston · 11:23 pm ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnetic, Musical, Merry, Mischievous, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday! Whoot! How are you delicious lovely? Have you picked your WOTY? How are you getting along with the theme this month of “If Not Now, When? If Not You, Who?”

Here in balmy Victoria we were hit with big snow – it was fantabulous! (Although many people who live here would totally disagree). But I loved it, there was a good couple of feet of it and the city ground to a stand still – ahhhhh, there is a certain quiet and beauty that snow brings. So I gifted myself the full day on Wednesday to do the Journey of Inanna. Sacred circle was set, I had a gatekeeper and off we went. This is not a journey for the faint of heart as there are 7 gates you have to pass through and at each one you are asked to release a part of yourself. For example:- how you show up in the world, how you communicate, your tribe, your material possessions and financial security and others. Until at the very end you give up your humanness. And at every gate you explore – who the heck am I without that piece, what does this look like, feel like. Raw is the word I would use. Then as you ascend back you choose what you want to pick up and what you are willing to release. Very powerful.

So this got my mind to perking (as you know it does). We have a New Moon in Aquarius on January 24th (Friday), which means the sky is dark and we set our seeds of intention, our desires, our light. Thus, a glorious mix of Shadow and Light. Yet I see so many people stuffing what they perceive as their “Shadow” pieces. The pieces that they don’t like, or that are judged by others as “not suitable for present company!” This in turn creates a fragmentation and a sense of not being whole, it also encourages people pleasing and mask wearing to fit it. So I say Bollocks to that!

Now as many of you know I facilitate a group called Soul Matters where we walk with a theme each month and explore it in a deep spiritual and personal way whilst looking at how it shows up in our day to day. The theme we are exploring for January is “Integrity”. So let me ask – what does Integrity mean to you?

The standard dictionary definition is “Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.” Hmmmm, most certainly but there needs to be more. I like the definition from Authur Gordon:- “Integrity: Basically, the word means wholeness. In mathematics, an integer is a number that isn’t divided into fractions. Just so, a person of integrity isn’t divided against him or herself.”

Most people look at Integrity as it’s about addition – build your character, get better at being honest, and all those pieces. It’s about being better, becoming more. But what if it isn’t about adding something on, but actually remembering and embracing all you are – a wholeness? Remembering the important life lessons that have come our way, such as: – I remember that masks that stay on too long will stick to my skin. I remember I always have a choice. I remember that if I am asked to keep a piece of me hidden, this is not where I belong. It’s about diving into your core values and living them.

As Rachel Naomi Remen shares – “Integrity rarely means that we need to add something to ourselves: it is more an undoing than a doing, a freeing ourselves from beliefs we have about who we are and ways we have been persuaded to “fix” ourselves.”

Integrity to me is not slicing myself up into different parcels for different places. It’s to know and to feel that I am showing up as my whole self in different settings. It’s bringing all the pieces of me to the table. Yes? It’s about allowing what we call our “shadow” pieces to be integrated into our being so they don’t need to squirt sideways and by integrating them we release the vast amount of energy that it takes to stuff them into a box in the back of the closet, and bring it back to ourselves to fuel our light. Which feels amazing!

So let me ask again – What does Integrity look and feel like for you? Are you willing to allow what you perceive as your shadow pieces some space? Are you willing to bring them into your being with love? If you do, the energy surge is positively delicious and then you start showing up in a state of wholeness and as the gorgeous authentic being you are!

So with all that in mind when I went to the cards and was just about to ask who wanted to guide this week I was gobsmacked as this glorious deck threw themselves off the shelf and spilled out all over the floor. So please let me introduce you to your gorgeous guides for this week, The Oracle of Shadows and Light. If you have never met them before, or worked with them:- Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. Bittersweet..Unheard..Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius! How’s that for a warm welcome?

Thus with the thought of wholeness, reclaiming the energy that you use to hide pieces of yourself or your pain close your eyes down and just breathe. For those of you who want to go deeper there is a lovely guided visualisation for you and you won’t need a passport. Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

Okay, are you ready to pick?

Now. Are you ready to look and breathe it in?

STORM ANGEL

This beautiful fairy is dressed in storms: energy around her crackles and sizzles, but she is calm and unharmed. Now it your time and turn to learn to deal with the energy that is around you, without compromising your own! She appears when energies with major differences collide: when intentions are vastly different, when techniques are worlds apart, and when incompatible belief systems meet up!

There is nothing wrong, at all, with difference: diversity is wonderful. Shadows and light are beautiful and necessary and can coexist in harmony. But certain kinds of differences do not blend…like oil and water, they separate and cannot coexist in harmony. Therefore, she brings change, and when comes, for some it is simple, easy and flowing; for others, dramatic, erratic, wild, and full of static.

She appears when two forms of energy collide; high and low. She appears to burn way the old and create a clear, fresh vibration, where all that is stale, and fearful, and unpleasant has been cleared away. The wonderful thing about this challenging collision is that while you’ll be nudged out of your comfort zone, you’ll also realise just how much has changed, and how far you have come. The results will be worth the pressure – trust me!

As the Storm Angel speaks: “When I appear, know that it is natural for people to feel tension, to become even more entrenched in their beliefs, and to refuse to let go. The only approach you can take right now is to clearly and powerfully remain in integrity. Do not compromise who you are out of misguided notion of being “compassionate”.

You must speak the truth that is in your heart and stay committed to that truth.

CARNIVOROUS FLOWER FAIRY

Pay attention! Look carefully at someone or a situation around you. Her beauty tempts people in, but the purpose of the flowers is to devour, making it difficult to escape unharmed! You may have been told such situations are “wonderful agents of change and growth”. But the truth is that you do not need to learn this lesson again. The plants in the beautiful yet faintly macabre, image represent someone or something that is attractive, yet dangerous.

There is a being who may feed off your energy, or even eat you alive. Watch for people who consume more than they give, people who bully and swallow others, who argue you out of your beliefs, ignore you, or constantly seek your approval and praise and then grow hostile when you no longer give it. If you are appeasing another instead of having an equal relationship, or if you are fearful of being consumed by an environment that is toxic, yet seductive, it may be that the Carnivorous Flower Fairy has come forth to show you clearly what you need to avoid.

Whatever and whomever the carnivorous Flower Fairy represents, it is a dangerous alliance to contemplate. Do not get too close. Observe and learn, if you must. Do not become an experiment. They will bite you, and they will try to take from you. It is their very nature.

PINK LOTUS FAIRY

You may love your guilt-free rants, staying up too late, and happily behaving badly, but you’re about to balance all that out with some very powerful new spiritual teachings and connections.

You are to meet a wise one who seems very still, very slow, and very peaceful. She will be tranquil and serene and immersed in a path that until now has felt too slow, or “foreign,” for you. But this teacher, who is represented by the Pink Lotus Fairy, will assist you in finding more of your soul’s true wisdom. Within this time of inner discovery, you will commit to disciplined new training in the mental realms: study and physical movement that is unfamiliar to you, all of which helps you to naturally choose thoughts that are empowering and enlivening, yet completely authentic and real.

You will learn to be still and to listen to the beat of your heart without giving in to restlessness, or the critical voice inside, or the cliches the ego loves to trip you up with. After you have learned more discipline through peaceful practice of meditation or exercise or mantras, you will nurture yourself more willingly, without guilt, and you will have returned to a place of tranquility, self-love and peace.

You will bring into balance your own shadows and light. Don’t worry – you will be happier and more peaceful, but you won’t be boring! You could never be!

There is a deep and true part of yourself that has long yearned for acknowledgement, fulfillment, and the nirvana that is on its way.

Wowzer. Those are amazing messages as we dance with Shadow and Light and practice Integrity that means Wholeness. Well Delicious Lovely I wish for you a week of inviting your “shadow” pieces back and integrating them into a state of magnificent wholeness. I wish for you the playfulness to share your whole being, with no attachment to what others think. And I most certainly wish for you a glorious New Moon, if you want to try out the Moon Bowl please do. Huge hugs, squeezes and love.

You Are Not Alone! (Even in the Shower.) Post Full Moon Eclipse.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Manifesting, Melodious, Mischievous, Magnificent, Marvelous Monday! It was the glorious Full Moon Eclipse on Friday and how was that for you? Did you feel twitchy, weepy or overwhelmed? I ask as a lot of people shared with me that they most certainly did.

I have to say it rather blew my hair back as I noticed during the week all sorts of pieces and thoughts were coming up and I was pissed! I don’t mean a gentle – hour or so of being grumpy, I mean a full on anger that lasted 4 days!!! (Which I found super challenging as I am not normally an angry person!) I was so out of alignment with myself and my connection to the Divine. I was literally swimming around in a massive negative head space and everything made me angry. Including the weather! I felt horrendously alone!

It was so overwhelming and bizarre and wasn’t directed at something or someone – it was just there and I could feel myself wanting to “squirt sideways”. Which as I know is never a good plan; and what was even more strange was that I had forgotten where I put my virtual toolbox. Thus, I did my best to keep myself to myself, avoid situations or people that I might possibly explode on which only enhanced the feeling of being alone, separateness and abandonment. Then the day after the eclipse I listened to the very faint whispers of Spirit and followed what they told me to do and lo and behold my virtual toolbox reappeared and I have spent the last couple of days playing with all of the tools, and happy to say – there are no dead bodies in the freezer! Which is a fabulous thing as the freezer is small and I don’t own a chainsaw! I’ve remembered how to pivot, how to release and how to come back to the present with joy. And that sense of separateness is gone. Thank goodness!

On Sunday I heard a fabulous article on the news about how people are creating nests, wraps and pockets for the baby animals that have been orphaned and made homeless in Australia.

The fires have killed an estimated 500 million animals in Australia since October, according to an Associated Press report. Twenty-five people are dead, nearly 1,900 homes destroyed, more than 100,000 people have been forced to leave their homes and more than 12.5 million hectares of bushland have burned. This is huge!!!!

We often think of the people, the homes etc. But how often do we think about the animals? So groups all across the globe are getting together and knitting nests, sewing pockets for baby kangaroos and ensuring that all these glorious little animals have a safe place to recoup in. I have to say it made my heart warm it really did. Knitters around the world are hand making pouches, nests and mittens for animals affected by the fires, from kangaroos and koalas to wombats and wallabies.

Now this got my mind to perking. Knitting is taking a single strand of yarn and looping it, with the various stitches, which meld together to create something warm and cosy. Sewing is taking two pieces of fabric and gently massaging them into place and joining them with strong stitches to make something functional, beautiful or useful. Carpentry is taking wood and with the use of a nail gun or screws, putting it all together to create something solid and large. All of these modalities are joining something to make something bigger, stronger, cosier, more colourful.

Which reminded me that we are all joined. It’s in sharing our gifts (as people are doing for the animals) that we become part of the whole. It’s the willingness to be vulnerable and open about the joys and challenges that one is experiencing, because in the sharing it allows others to speak to their experiences. It’s offering a hand, no matter how busy we are, or being willing to ask for a hand when we really need it. It’s the breathing into the space that as I take a breath and look up at the moon, someone somewhere else is doing the same thing. We are stronger together and as a community.

So with that thought burbling in my mind when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I burst out laughing when I saw. The Earth Warriors Oracle were adamant, there was no competition! Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you:-

There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word “struggle” from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

Positively perfect for the energy this week. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Moonstone, Citrine and Moonstone! Oh yes, and glorious peacock feathers that I was gifted this week!

So let’s take a moment to just settle, just BE and please gift yourself with a moment of space. With the idea of connection and community floating in your mind, breathe into that space, allowing it to gently unfurl like an opening rose. Just BE and Breathe. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

IXCHEL

Medicine of the Rainbow Jaquar.

Ixchel protects you now, as you transition from one life phase to the next. With her rainbow light, this guardian goddess instructs you on how to use great power with wisdom, to nourish only what is worthy. Using Jaguar medicine, with perfect timing, she confronts that which is unworthy of her devotion, eradicating destructive forces and creating space for healing relief and rebirth. Her presence is the wild power of the jaguar, the renewal promise of the rainbow and divine feminine creativity. All darkness shall be overcome.

You are going through a transition. Cultivate hope and stay true to your intentions. Let nothing divert you from your true path. If you have a new project, vision or lifestyle that you are seeking to bring into the world, Ixchel is guiding and guarding you for a healthy birth.

It is important that you cut off negative sources completely at this time and do not allow yourself to be used or exploited. This is not the time to indulge someone else’s ego or go against your own inner knowing in order to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Trust your instincts and break immediately from what isn’t right for you. This will bring you new opportunities and situations that are worthy of your passionate devotion.

CH’ASKA

Time to Cross the Threshold.

A threshold appears, bringing an ending so complete that it is no longer possible to return to what has been. The light of the stars is your faithful guide into this new world. As you trust in your divine connection, deconstructed forms shall reshape themselves into relevant, helpful and beautiful new ways of living, thriving and expressing your true self.

Trust in your strangest ideas, in that which is different, inspired or unconventional. This crossing is healing furthers the activation of your divine potential.

Change is afoot. You won’t feel in control of the process. Trust in what is new, different or exciting to you. Don’t assume that unless all things happen easily, then you must be on the wrong path. You are on the correct path, even if the birthing pains to fulfil it are challenging.

You are guided to reject societal norms about how you are supposed to live or what sort of things you are supposed to value. Instead, trust your own values and believe in the truths that you feel within your own heart. In time the world will be ready to recognise and benefit from your spiritual growth. The Universe is helping you in all ways, including through correct timing. At the right moment, you will leave the past behind you and enter into the fullness of the present moment, opening up to the brightness of your future.

KANYINI

In Each Other We Find Ourselves

There is a spiritual purpose that only you can fulfil. As you move forward on your journey, you create space for others to move along behind you, and as the ones ahead of you move forward, so too does room open up for your expansion.

Upon this earth we are all building the sacred temple, each fulfilling our tasks as we assist and support each other in our collective divine mission. How can you help with your heart most actively engages? What can you offer which inspires and energises you so much that others are uplifted in your presence? How can you receive from others joyfully, bringing them pleasure? Engage in giving and receiving deeply and with devotion. Your wisdom and openness to life generates healing for our Earth.

Healing is indicated, especially of wounds about connection and trust, safety and tribe, belonging and permission to be a unique individual. At a physical level, more vitality is indicated, and ample energy for healing.

At a spiritual level, a deepening awareness of unified consciousness is opening up within you which will bring you into deeper divine communion and increase your effectiveness as a healing presence and sacred activist in this world. You have a destiny to fulfil, and there will be much help from many different people to fulfil it. The Universe wants you to succeed. Do not hesitate to ask and receive assistance, for your fulfilment of your own mission helps others.

Oh my gosh, what perfect messages to resonate with “We are all part of the whole. We are the ones we have been waiting for!” Thus delicious lovely I wish for you a week of connection, support and knowing that you are precious and important. You are here to share yourself, all aspects of yourself. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes and I just want to say – I so appreciate you.

Twas the Night Before, the Night Before Xmas and Eclipse Season Approacheth!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Manic, Merry, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How was your Solstice? Thank you to all of you who shared with me the ritual(s) that you chose to do from B.O.W.S., I really loved hearing about them!

I will say I had one of the most amazing Winter Solstice days I have ever had. It was interesting, as I chose to practice solo (which is not the norm) and the whole day became a living prayer and a full blown ritual. As a lot of you know when my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer, everyday I would go to the beach, pick up a rock offer up a prayer and a blessing and bring the rock home and put it in a bowl. After she passed at the end of July I had a huge bowl of rocks filled with blessings and love – but what to do with them? As I was unsure and I certainly didn’t want to just dump them, I packed them up in a large box and put them in the back of the closet.

Then I realised I needed to create a space, or a container for them – but I had no clue what that would look like. Then all of a sudden a little while ago I received amazing guidance from Spirit and knew what I had to do (keep in mind I had no clue how to do it!). So I built a gorgeous driftwood tree, why driftwood? Because driftwood has been tumbled, rolled, tossed about by the ocean and with all the pounding just gets stronger and stronger. Friends moved a large rock into the center of my circle garden and I created my tree and then bolted it to the rock. I made the roots cascade down and encircle the rock, holding, loving and strong. Then around the base I put all the stones I had gathered for my sister, as well as all the angel feathers that came to me daily when I was at the Hospice with her. I then rolled little wee pinecones, that I had gathered and dried, in almond butter and then seeds as she loved watching the birds come into her garden and I decorated the gorgeous “Tree of Life” with gifts for the birds. Last but not least I twined little white lights through the driftwood branches, so that day or night it is a reminder.

I was so blown away with how it came out and when I lit it up last night, after welcoming in the dark and smudging my home, my heart frigging soared! I sat outside for quite a while just gazing at it and thanking Spirit for the guidance and grinned like a large, plump Cheshire Cat. My whole day had been a living prayer and it was incredible!

Thus, I highly recommend allowing yourself to be guided by Spirit. To have the trust, faith and belief that you may not know the path or the hows, but it all unfolds in a gentle leading, nurturing and expansion.

So here we are the Monday just before Xmas and the start of Eclipse season!

On December 25/26th we experience a Partial Solar Eclipse of the New Moon in Capricorn.

Now if you remember an eclipse can generate an awareness of something larger, running the show and they poke holes in our ego/identity revealing things within us that we have been avoiding or are totally unaware of.

As Forever Conscious shares:- On a Solar Eclipse, a new doorway is opened that helps to push and advance us further on our soul path. Under the energy of the December Solar Eclipse, we are going to be shown a new path. A new way is going to unfold. This new way may appear subtle at first. Perhaps it will begin as a new thought or a new feeling, and then slowly it will shift into taking a new action.

It’s almost like this Eclipse opens a new stream of energy which we can take and download into our lives.How we download it is up to us and where we are on our journey, but all of us are going to be changed, all of us are going to be awakened in some way.

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.

Now with this being a partial Solar Eclipse the energy of this time lasts for 6 months. Be sure to open yourself and welcome in the shifting, awakening energies this Eclipse brings. 2020 promises something different than the years before, and the doorway to this new wave of energy starts under this December Solar Eclipse.

This is a glorious energy to use to start playing with your WOTY! (Word of the Year). My invitation to you is to spend the next week and a half doing some homework (don’t worry you don’t need to buy funky notebooks and multi coloured pens – unless you want to). Take time and really play with the energy and ask yourself “What do I want more of this year?” Now I’m not talking about – “I want more diamonds”, “I want a shed ton more money”, instead go under those and look at the emotion, the feeling state, the state of BEING and play with asking what you want more of and then when I’m back in the New Year (and New Decade) we will unpack WOTY, okay?

Now that I have rambled on and on, let’s go to the reading (lol, some of you may have already done that and skipped the ramble). When I asked the cards who wanted to come and be your guides I was thrilled to see the Blessed Be guides were most adamant. This is a different type of deck, there aren’t guides per se, but there are – if that makes sense. Please let me introduce you to Blessed Be as these guides are new to you and relatively new to me, allow me to introduce them. “May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings. May you have hope, understanding and kindness. And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Ahhhh, perfect guides for us right now! The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to show and shine are Jade – is a symbol of serenity and purity. It signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. It increases love and nurturing. A protective stone. Apatite – is a dual-action stone, known for its positive use of personal power to achieve goals. It clears away confusion, apathy or negativity, then, stimulates the intellect to expand knowledge and truth, which may be used for personal growth or for the collective good. Last but not least – Rhyolite – is all about self-love, its radiant energy infusing your spirit with pure joy, like an antidepressant but without any side effects! Oh yes and Selenite for amplification and the glorious little throat feathers from the peacocks that wander around here came to join!

Settle in sweetie. Just breathe yourself back into your body. Let the hurly burly of the day just drop off like raindrops into a puddle. Breathe. Be here now, just at this moment. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the Divine Mother (whatever she looks like to you), breathe. Then imagine her putting one hand on your feet and one hand on your head and saying “Everything between my two hands is beloved and blessed by the Goddess.”Breathe that blessing in, allow it to swirl through you and know how loved you are. Then when you’re ready; pick the card or cards that wish to bless and support you this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look see, shall we?

A BLESSING FOR SOLACE AND HOPE

This is a blessing for solace, the comfort that comes in the form of good fortune, strange little moments that bring you back to the sense that the Universe is a place where you are cared for, considered and important, and that this solace bring you hope for the future, and anticipation of the fair things that life will continue to bring you.

Solace is the balm and the antidote to the wounds that life can deliver. It is not personal, for being here is a great gift, and we live in times where, in many ways, we are safer than we have ever been before. But we are fed a diet of hopelessness from our cultures and media sources, until we become overwhelmed with the troubles that seem to surround us. This blessing is for you to find your way back to sweetness. For the flower in bud to release its sweetness, for you to notice the shimmer of light upon water, the sheer pleasure of movement, the ease of a mind no longer racing over problems to be solved, but soft, intelligent, allowing the calm of life to steal back in to your soul.

This is the solace that keeps our hopes alive, the gift of good fortune that reawakens the candle of optimism that is within us, and the delight in the sheer whimsy of being here, and being alive. It is the understanding that there may be little control, but we are no mere pawns in this life – we have our place in the world, and simply with our breathing in and out, we matter, and we are doing enough.

To find solace is to find peaceful moments, small connections, to notice the thousand gifts life has conferred upon us, and it is to again invoke the divinity of existence, without the fear of the future. Let hope give you lightness, draw away the pain, and open you up again to the possibilities, until you begin once again to relish the simple voluptuous truth of being alive.

BLESSED BE.

A BLESSING ON YOUR DAY

“A blessing to bring awareness, to shape and set the energy of the day, and to frame it with light and the possibilities of healing, adventure and gratitude. “

May your soul feel called by the song of the day. May this day be gentle and good, clear and sure, filled with grace and gentle reminders of your own divinity. May the people you meet this day show generosity of spirit, be hospitable and welcoming, and open and candid in all their dealings. May the sky be filled with blue and white, may the green beneath your feet be solid and soft to walk upon. May the rain fall soft and nourishing, and trees whisper to you the secrets that you need to know.

May any challenges you encounter find an answering strength and courage within you, and when you come to your rest this night, may you remember the many blessings this day held, and account for them with the Gods, and be thankful for each of them, no matter how small.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON YOUR SLEEP

“A blessing for a deep and peaceful sleep, full of wondrous dreams and long hours where the body and brain can focus entirely upon their rest and healing.”

May you find the blessing of deep, good sleep. May it come to you easily, and when your head touches the pillow, and your body stretches out in luxurious freedom, may you begin to drift immediately between the world of the waking and the world of the dreamer. May the slumber that comes be deep, so that all the extraneous sounds about you melt away, and there is only you, and the otherworld we can inhabit when we sleep, an otherlife, where we dream and explore the wonders of lands that will only ever exist within these visions.

May these dreams bring you food for rich thought in the days to come, wisdom to explore, insights in you own consciousness and being, and beauty beyond the waking imagination. May the body take its nourishment from this gorgeous rest, may the bones strengthen and knit, the mind lose its worries and anxieties, and may whatever has troubled you in the waking hours be released for at least a time, as you enter entirely into this realm inhabited by the wonders of your own deeper self.

BLESSED BE

Ahhh, such lovely blessings and I hope you really take the time to breathe them in and let them become part of you. Wishing you an amazing holiday season. May it be filled with kindness, love, peace, ease and flow. May you always remember that you are precious and important and may you shine your light to remind others of the same. Please practice self care and nourish yourself! I am taking until January 6th off to replenish, relax, rejuvenate and reflect. Thus, let me share a song we end each Kundalini session with.

May the long time sun shine upon you,

All love surround you,

And the pure light within you,

Guide your way on.

Big Blessings, Huge Hugs and Squeezes and see you in 2020.

Winter Solstice is only 5 days away! A Gift, and My Virginal Experience.

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy Merry, Majestic, Magickal, Magnificent, Marvelous Monday! How are you? How was the last Full Moon of the decade for you? I found it deliciously delightfully demanding! Lol. However, the night sky was so clear that you could see her in all her glory which was amazing, and I love seeing the rings around her which means it’s going to be a cold night and frost on the ground in the morning! Which there certainly was the next morning.

The other day, as I was driving, the radio was counting down how many shopping days until Xmas, have to say that really irritated me. This can be such a stressful season for so many people with all the concerts, social activities, kids activities, expectations, loss, feeling alone and the frenetic shop, shop, shop. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not being a bah-humbug but I don’t think people need to be made to feel they are on a tight timeline and not keeping up. Also, why not say “It’s only 5 days until Yule!” I have a fabulous Wicca Calendar app on my phone that is counting down the days, hours and minutes to Winter Solstice (aka as Yule).

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are celebrating Yule (in the Southern Hemisphere you are celebrating Litha). Okay, why do I love this celebration so much? For so many reasons! It’s the longest night and the shortest day, we are welcoming back the sun, it’s the beginning of Winter, it’s the walk into the warm welcoming darkness, that we all tend to avoid. It’s part of my heritage and even if I tried to ignore it my body would remind me. Winter Solstice celebrates the longest hours of darkness or the rebirth of the sun and is believed to hold a powerful energy for regeneration, renewal and self-reflection. (And look, no frenetic shopping involved lol). Also, if we look at Christmas, many of the pieces that we celebrate came from Yule.

I could write pages and pages about Yule/Winter Solstice, how to celebrate, rituals, spells etc. But then this post would be about 30 pages long. So instead; for you gorgeous ones who are part of our community and on our email list I would like to gift you with B.O.W.S – Book of Winter Solstice. Now for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere there will be a gift of B.O.S.S – Book of Summer Solstice. Links to these will be sent out on Friday the 20th. So if this is something that interests you, make sure you are on the email list (super easy, there is a sign up box.)

Oh yes, there will be two glorious guided visualisations, one for the North and one for the South.

So the other day I had a “Virginal Experience” (tricky to do when you have 5 kids!) As I’ve yomped with Danu the therapy dog, I have noticed that here, in this city, people dress their dogs up. Some people do it for the day to day, which I totally don’t comprehend as I have a tough enough time getting out the door without having to dress a dog! However, lots of people have fun Christmas things for their dogs. Hmmmmm. After watching this for a week I began to feel like a bad dog human. Were other dogs judging Danu? Did I care? Were other humans judging me? Did I care? No was the emphatic answer, but……… Now keep in mind, I have had a dog for 30 years and I have never, ever, ever – until now – dressed them. I love them, but they are a dog. However, I will say I succumbed. Thus, I went to various pet stores and looked at all the ridiculous Santa jumpers, Mrs. Claus outfits, things that looked like pyjamas and sooooo couldn’t get behind any of them. So, I popped into the last place, walked through the “doggy clothing aisle” (who knew there was such a thing) and just as I was about to walk out the door there was a flash of green and gold. Hmmmm. I went and checked it out and it was the most funky, cool, fun Elf coat! Yup. I bought it, I am no longer a dog garb Virgin! I then went and dug out my bell bedecked elf hat and Danu and I went for a walk in our garb.

As we did, it was interesting to watch responses – so many people smiled and laughed, small kids wanted to pet and snuggle the elf dog. So my reasoning is, if it makes people smile and feel good I can do this until Xmas (possibly). Though when someone said today – “You are such lovely Elves”. My response was “Depends on the day. Some days I am on the Elf on the Shelf, other times, A Troll on a Stroll, A Gnome in Your Home, A Faery in the Dairy, A Dwarf on the Wharf, now if I could only find something that rhymes with Ogre!” If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

So there we go my lovelies, daft as it may be.

Oh yes, many of you have asked if there is going to be a Solstice special on Private Readings. I have pondered and perked this and yes, for the Wheel of the Year Reading. This reading is offered rarely, however, I am willing to open up 10 spots and offer at a huge discount. This offer will be in place from now until Xmas Eve only, and as I take from the 23rd to January 6th off, the readings will be delivered after that time. So if you are interested, I highly suggest you snap it up now. After all, we are entering a glorious new decade!

Okay, let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who would like to guide this week just prior to Winter Solstice, I was delighted to see the “Lightworker Oracle” were adamant. The perfect guides for this celebration and a welcoming of 2020. Now if these guides are new to you, it would be rude not to introduce them:- This deck is for lightworkers and what I mean by that is old souls. They have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something at a spiritual level. They care about causes that stir their hearts. They are often the black sheep of their family. Does this sound like you? I know it does for me.

The crystals that wanted to show and shine are:- Stilbite – expands consciousness, helps organise confusion of the mind, encouraging one to take charge of life by committing to a direction. Labradorite – creates a force field throughout the aura, protecting and strengthening the energies within and preventing others from ‘tapping in’ and draining you. Smoky Quartz – grounding, absorbs and transmutes negativity by grounding it in the earth where it neutralises.

Ready? Okay, breathe for a moment or two, nice long slow deep breaths. Breathing as easy as Receiving the guidance that wants to support you, fill you up, inspire you. Breathe. Receive. Allow. As you breathe this way allow the day to day dross to drop to the floor and feel yourself being filled up with gorgeous light that twines with your light. Supporting, nourishing, replenishing. When you are ready, pick the card or cards that invite you to be seen.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look.

UNPLUG FROM MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

ORBS OF LIGHT

Unconditional loving orbs are available to you at every moment, open your heart and invite them in.

DIVINE TALENTS

You are a talented soul. Over many lifetimes, you have developed your spiritual abilities to channel higher awareness, attract healing energy and radiate light to uplift the consciousness of those around you. Your divine talents are many, and uniquely expressed through you. Your talents do not have to resemble those of another to have their own inestimable value. Do not be afraid to use them!

Divine talents are a way in which the Universe reminds us of what we are here to do. Divine talents are unlimited. They include the ability to channel spiritual guidance and healing energy, to perceive clairvoyantly, and be psychic and empathic. Other spiritual talents include writing, performing, sound healing, dancing to awaken awareness, creating art, photography, or divinely inspired tools and jewelry. Cooking food that heals body and spirit is a spiritual talent, as are the abilities to bring people together, to offer comforting and inspiring words at the right time, to help others overcome fear and feel more at peace in moments of importance and more.

Do you acknowledge your talents, yourself? Believe in yourself, your abilities and in your capacity to use those talents in a constructive, healing way? Keep developing your talents until your own unique expression comes to life. Don’t give up in the early and possibly awkward stages, dismissing your abilities as less than those of another. Trust that there is something very real and worthwhile in you. Do not dismiss or diminish your potential. Treat yourself as an investment worthy of development!

Give yourself a chance – enough time, attention and practice to discover what you are really capable of. The Universe knows! Soon, you shall too.

PS: Do what makes you happy, to chase your sacred bliss and express yourself in the world via the unique and special abilities that the Divine has bestowed upon you. When you follow what you love, you are on your life path, and you shall succeed beloved.

Woosah delicious lovely! As the energy builds to Solstice and Xmas I wish for you ease, effortlessness and flow. Remember to take some time out to breathe and be good to yourself! If you want to receive either the B.O.W.S or B.O.S.S make sure you are on the email list. If you want to take advantage of the Wheel of the Year reading as we enter into 2020, there are only 10 spots available. Next week we are going to explore WOTY and some other cool pieces (like the partial eclipse). Sending you huge hugs, squeezes and big mugs of something warm to drink!

Crystal Healing

The energy surrounding this Solar Eclipse is abundant and expansive. There are opportunities here to really plant seeds that will turn into the tallest, most luscious trees.
