Crystal Therapy

We are on a Threshold, Eclipse Season is here, and Summer Solstice is coming!

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Merry, Mighty, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday! The first Monday of June and gosh we have a lot to cover (so much so that I had to create another post), lol. So with that being said let’s go celebrate this magnificent Monday in style! As we unpack some interesting energy!

Okay, let’s start with Threshold, and you may be saying – Um, err, what? With everything that has happened in the past few months, we are at a place of Threshold. I don’t know about you, but you can feel it in the air, in the energy of the people around you, and in the collective consciousness. As the old “normal” crumbles (but is certainly fighting to stay), there is a sense of fear filled with expectation. A liminal time. A space where we are between the old and the new.

Often, when encountering thresholds, we talk as if our work is that of successfully “passing through” them. We speak of “making healthy transitions.” We seek out advice and support as we decide which thresholds to lean into and which to resist. The goal, it would seem, is figuring out how to travel forward in the right way. But what if we looked at it a different way?

“A threshold is a space to imagine a new way, and a new self. Not moving or pushing but sitting and cultivating… The goal is to allow you space and time to reflect on your past, present, and future. To imagine a new beginning…” Rev. Sara LaWall

What if a Threshold isn’t a place that you cross, but a place that you pause? A place that transforms you?

What if the invitation is to ask yourself daily:

What do I want to bring with me and what do I want to leave behind (or keep out) as I cross over?

If you want to explore this intense concept and energy further, with a super simple exercise that you can do daily to remind you it’s okay to stay in this space, come over here to explore the Threshold post.

Within this place of Threshold we start eclipse season this Friday, June 5th where we experience a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. This eclipse will be guiding us to stand our ground, claim our power, and allow the voice of our inner fire to speak. It is the first in a trio of Eclipses, and as we walk this Eclipse Gateway over the coming weeks, we will discover a new path emerging, one that is very different from the path we were walking before.

A Lunar Eclipse has ten times the potential of Full Moon, and often clears a path that helps accelerate our soul journey, bringing massive shifts and change. 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.

So as Forever shares:- As this Eclipse falls in Sagittarius, we are likely going to find ourselves clearing thoughts, beliefs, and ideas in order to prepare for this new journey that is yet to unfold. We may have thought we were going one way, but often an Eclipse comes along to reveal a whole new path.

All the voices you carry within you deserve to be heard. Sometimes we work so hard to silence the voice of shame or guilt or anger, but there is also a power in learning to stop and listen to what it’s saying. If we constantly dismiss the harder or more abrasive thoughts and feelings when they arise, we never really get to understand them.

It’s not that we want to sit in our anger forever or allow our inner voice to become drowned by negative talk, but we also don’t want to ignore these voices and push them away. We want to listen to them and discover what they really mean. We want to hug each and every one of them, and see the value in what they have to share and offer.

When we listen to ourselves; when we really take the time to go within and listen, we catch things we may have otherwise missed. We learn things about ourselves, and we open to a new truth. It is not just our love and light that can teach us, but our pain, anger, jealousy, and resentment too.

We have to listen, find the jewels of wisdom that they offer, and then let them go.

Wowzer! So we have a place of Threshold – the liminal space, a Full Moon, our first eclipse and Summer Solstice only 3 weeks away! (Can you say there is a lot of energy to work with?)

Thus, the other day I heard my favourite book store had opened and was allowing 5 people in at a time, so I quickly skedaddled down there as I wanted a copy of Witch – Unleashed. After I purchased my book I took a wrong turn and saw this wee little store filled with crystals, statues, pendulums etc. I had literally never seen this store before, and as they were allowing one person in at a time I went in.

I took a quick browse around and there was nothing that really jumped out and grabbed me, then as I got to the door a flash of red caught my eye and down on a shelf near the floor was an Oracle deck that beckoned me. When that happens, I don’t think twice and so she came home and when I opened her up to Bless and Consecrate her, holy hannah, my whole body tingled.

So please let me introduce you to your new guides (whom I’ve been working with daily for the last 5 days) – Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle.

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

I have chuntered on long enough (if you managed to read this far lol), so let’s crack on with the reading.

I invite you to just pause, envision that space in between, that moment where the invitation is to release and be willing to welcome a transformative way of living. As you breathe into that space allow your body to relax, to just settle and let the worries of the day, the moment, the second just drop like dust motes to the floor.

Then, when you’re ready pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go meet your glorious guides!

FREAKING BEAUTIFUL

You are here to march to your own beat. You can be happy and free, whether the world looks at you with awe, admiration, confusion or love – or all of these at once.

Normal is not for you. Don’t be afraid of that! Deep down you are the good kind of crazy, an individual. You would never be happy trying to be the same as everyone else! You have an inner sense of justice and a need to question authority when it doesn’t earn your respect. This may make some people uncomfortable, whilst it inspires others to think for themselves and not automatically assume that everything they are told is correct. We need more of this in our world!

You are a free thinker with a different point of view to most people. This isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you, but a sign of something special – a gift to see and express things differently. The world needs much more of that too!

Your weird streak is a proverbial breath of fresh air, preventing unimaginative collapse into the boredom of sameness. It also makes you a divine poster child for others who want to break free from conformity and unapologetically be truly themselves. It means that you get to dream up your own destiny, and you don’t have to worry what anyone else has to say about it. The Universe will support you every step of the way – because it so enjoys you just being you!

MOON CHILD

You have an opportunity to manifest something that you want very much. The Divine wants to bless you with assistance to bring a cherished dream to life. Begin by admitting the true desires of your heart.

Your heart has a special spiritual power which you can access through prayer. Prayer means speaking from the heart to the Divine. For you, the Divine might be an unconditionally loving and all powerful being, such as the Universe or Spirit. You may like to choose a deity from a religious tradition (even if you don’t belong to that religion) such as God or Mother Nature.

The Divine doesn’t mind who or what you pray to, so long as you feel a peaceful, unconditionally loving connection between the Divine and your heart. When you pray, you activate the heart and stimulate a portal of healing. The heart knows how to gain closure on emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual levels, showing you the way through unknown transitions and leading you faithfully to the light of a new day.

Your heart also knows how to receive blessings from the Divine. Divine blessings can help you in endless ways, and the Divine always knows exactly what you need and when you need it.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to speak from your heart about whatever matters to you right now. Nothing is too small or too big for the Divine to help you figure out. Ask and you shall receive.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation. This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you. Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Light is powerful. Some people don’t understand this. The fear in their hearts makes them cynical. That fear stops them from seeing what is true. In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead. They scoff at what they don’t understand. Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain. You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe. When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world. You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself. Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light. The light within you is the real you.

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness.

Holy Hannah, you seriously can not make this shit up! Be yourself, speak from your heart and be the light. Now more than ever we all need that! So delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with ease, joy and deep belly chortles. May you always remember how special and important you are and that the world needs YOU! Big hugs and squeezes.

Creativity, Covid, Community and Beltane!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Magickal, Marvelous, Magnificent, Merry, Musical, Manifesting Monday! How are you? How are you feeling? Did you give yourself time to celebrate the New Moon last week, filled with all the glorious Earth energies of Taurus and Earth Day? Are you managing to get outside and into nature at all? I feel that April has whizzed by and May is just a few days away, holy hannah, how did that happen?

I have been listening to a great book by Pam Grout called Art and Soul Reloaded. Wowzer! Firstly, I have loved all her books as they are real, honest and blunt – there are no ridiculous platitudes telling you to gaze at your navel for hours on end. Instead amazing suggestions about things to try, do, play at (and if you know me I love to play!)

Pam invites you to look at what the Universe wants to say through you, and then kicks your arse to just play and try things out (remember perfection is an illusion). As I’ve been listening to this book it’s inspired me to get creative (hence the sardine, pear, aspargus sushi – which were delicious) and has reminded me that there is no box. With Covid in play, all bets are off – there is no “normal”, so let’s create a new normal! A fun normal! A creative, nourishing, aligned new normal!

I’ve been seeing signs that thousands of people are getting on the creativity and play boat.

People who have never written a word are trying Haiku, poems chalked on the sidewalks, crocheted tree wraps (in case the tree gets cold). All sorts of music, garden patterns, funky face masks, art, paintings and the list goes on. People are being bold enough to use this time to create, to play, to try something new and the results are positively amazing, inspiring and make me grin from ear to ear.

Why? Because it’s an amazing voyage of self discovery. People are taking this time to explore the wee corners of their minds and play, on a level that hasn’t been seen before! And the most awesome part is they are sharing it. As they stay home, stay safe, they are digging into the corners, playing, creating and sharing it and creating community with their shares. Remember when you were a small kid and there was that Show and Tell day? We need to share who we are and what we have created.

As Dee Hock says – Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it.

For me, when I play with creativity (whether it is in the kitchen, writing, outside, trying a new medium), it nourishes and feeds my intuition and gives a tangible means of expressing that deep inner voice. When that happens, it’s like liquid gold. I feel like a conduit.

What are you willing to try out this week as we head into Beltane? Paper airplanes, sewing, dancing…… There are so many ways to express yourself. And please SHARE it!

Beltane is this Friday on May 1st. Now you may be saying – Jenn, um, WTF is Beltane? Ahhh, grasshopper let me explain.

Beltane or Beltain is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.

Okay let’s take a little dip into what the heck Beltane is and whether you should pay attention to it or not. Beltane was thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar. Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme. Here are fields of Camas lilies, Rhododendrons are in bloom, Sea breeze is bobbing their little pink heads, the Iris’s are up and there are carpets galore of bluebells. Spring is here! Which is no surprise as Beltane is the festival that heralds in the fertility and growth of Spring. This is the time of unity between the Goddess and the God and massive celebration. For those of you who are on the email list there will be more information on Beltane on Wednesday and a couple of super simple (we like simple) rituals to mark this fantabulous day. The colours of Beltane are red, green, white or silver and the ritual trees of this celebration are Birch, Hawthorn (which I planted two of) and of course Rowan. Speaking of Rowan, when my fourth child was born I had a ring made of Celtic knot work with Rowan leaves on it to celebrate his arrival. (Love Rowan trees, as do the birds).

Okay, I have chuntered on enough. When I went to the cards and the crystals and asked who wanted to guide and support this week I clapped my hands in glee! As the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant! Perfect!

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to.)

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

Note the last line of the introduction – urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be………….

The crystals that were most insistent are:- Chrysocolla, K2 and Malachite. Oh and some of the gorgeous Camas lilies that are carpeting the meadows.

Okay, take a moment. Just breathe gorgeous one, that’s it. Just breathe. As you breathe I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the whisper of creativity and play. No attachment to it, just let it dance there for a while and when you are ready pick the card, or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

AWEN

“Awen” translates to “divine inspiration” or “flowing breath”. It is a mystical force that offers us a moment where there is a sudden surge in newfound knowledge, inspired thought, the ability to awaken our dormant talents and a sense that before we were given the gift of Awen , we were like sleepwalkers.

Awen is a moment where life is forever changed, and once we drink of Awen, or feel it as a beam of divine light entering us and changing us, we can never return to who we were, and the world is never the same again. So having experienced what has taken place, you cannot pretend life can ever be the same. You have lifted the veil and you have seen the face of the Divine. You have drunk the elixir of the gods, and the faeries have offered you their greatest gift.

Awen does not stay – but the knowledge of what we have experienced in that moment changes us forever. So, now that you have had this life-changing experience and been given this incredible moment of inspiration, you can either pretend to yourself that life is without magick, or you can continue to embrace the magick in the enchantment of every moment. Now if you choose, you can become more fully alive – and while this is no easy path, it is one that is full of deep, joyful moments, true connections, and poetic, blindingly beautiful experiences.

Awen will come, from time to time, and you are so blessed for having had this most sublime and life-changing of all mystical experiences.

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding. Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider.

However, She Who Laughs wishes for you to receive the healing power of luagher, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts. For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at the moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, withought laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment. Lift this!

Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being. Its time is passing. It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past……

For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again, with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend. It is time

THE SOLITARY

Within, within you go. When the Solitary visits, you are about to go within, to withdraw, and retreat from the world for a time. This can be a response to an event from outside – a trauma, sadness or betrayal – and the withdrawing inwards, which appears to be depression, is actually a way of respecting the soul’s shadow, investigating it, understanding it, and mastering it. This card indicates a time when you will go it alone – walk your own path, choosing to carve a way forward that you can be sure remains true to the deep self. There will be a time of learning away from the mainstream, and there may be times when you feel isolated and somewhat worried about how your new path will be perceived.

It can also indicate that in a past life, you have suffered for your gifts and spirituality. You may have experienced a past life as a healer, seer, witch, wyzard, or medicine man, in which a new order decreed your power to be invalid and dark. This fear still pursues you when you connect with the power of your gift – resulting in fears surrounding intuition and your natural talents.

By going within we learn more about our soul. It is not a part of the journey that we necessarily look forward to, but it is a time of great development on the spiritual path and is imperative to growth. Before we can shine our light in the world, we must ignite our inner spark. This going inward is actually the sacred task of tending your own sacred flame and learning from it, before turning to matters of the world again.

Oh my gosh! Seriously! I so love the cards that my guides picked for you, perfect messages for this week as we close up April, welcome in Beltane and play with creativity in all her guises. Sending you massive love and light and humongous hugs and squeezes. Remember to play, to laugh, to go within and ask your soul what it wants to create. See you next week.

So there you have it delicious lovely. A lot to do with magick (which is intrinsically part of who we are, we have just forgotten sometimes), and really celebrating the changes and our gifts.

Grace, The Invitation, New Moon in Taurus

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvelous, Magickal, Meritorious, Melodic, Manifesting Monday! How was your Easter weekend? (Yes it has been that long since I last wrote). I will admit, it was a rather bizarre weekend, social distance walking with my boys, social distance egg decorating in the garden and then video calls whilst we each made our own dinners. But hey, I can’t complain – the weather was stupendous, it was good to see their gorgeous faces and we needed a different type of Easter (I didn’t have to cook a huge meal!) Lol

There are gifts and opportunities in everything!

Which brings me round to the fact that I have been encountering people who don’t see the gift or the opportunities, and they want things to go back to normal overnight and are now starting to get exceptionally twitchy, defiant and angry as week four of social isolation and distancing comes to a close. The ones that are having a tough time with it are the extroverts and those who thought this “little Covid thing” (I have heard that soooo many times) was going to end in a week or two. If I’m the first one to inform you that we are riding these waves of change for at least 4 more months if not longer, I’m sorry. We are. So how can you do it with grace? We are all in this together.

If you are blessed to not be working on the front lines (and massive thanks to all who do), then you have some time on your hands, yes? Are you willing to accept the invitation to find and see the gifts and opportunities in this situation? Can you? Will you allow yourself to relax the tight hold on what should be and breathe into the paradigm shift of what could be?

When I reflected on this question for myself I realised I had a huge list of things I wanted to learn, to try etc. Yet my excuse had always been – I don’t have the time. Guess what? So I sat down with my list the other day and reviewed it. Did I REALLY want to learn Japanese Brush Painting, no. And so it got crossed off the list along with various other items. However, I do want to learn the guitar (which I am doing now), I do want to write more (which I do daily), I do want to learn how to longboard (which I am trying – it’s not pretty, but it’s glorious fun). I do want to dance more, so guess what? Every night when I walk Danu (the therapy) dog, I plug in one of our amazing Light, Love and Laughter playlists and I frigging dance!!!! 5 km of dance, fun and glorious laughter.

So what is the gift or opportunity for you? Who do you want to be at the end of this? (A question to Muse for sure.) Embrace the flow and the paradigm shift, it is far easier and more enjoyable.

Okay enough proselytizing. Lol. On Wednesday we have Earth Day and New Moon in Taurus, utterly fabulous!!! How are you going to spend it? If you had a magic wand and could give a blessing to Mumma Gaia, what would it be?

I love what Chani has to share about this New Moon:- This New Moon urges us to slow down, pay attention to our bodies, enjoy simple pleasures and rethink the ways in which we are using our resources. It calls on us to get creative with our material lives and innovative in the ways in which we think about abundance and mutual prosperity. Conjunct the game-changer of the cosmos, Uranus, and square the planet of form and structure, Saturn, this New Moon helps us to deepen our understanding of which structures can support the changes we are personally and collectively facing, and which are so outdated they have to be completely rethought. Taurus is a slow and steady sign, and the restructuring we are considering making at this moment needs to be integrated a little at a time, in ways that feel sustainable and supportive long-term.

What a positively perfect New Moon energy to work with at this moment in time! Methodical, grateful and sustainable – whoot! Do take time to write down your New Moon Wishes, or start a New Moon Bowl (such a delicious and grounding daily practice!).

Okay, when I went to the cards and asked who wanted to support and guide this week, the cards that were most insistent are The Oracle of the Shapeshifters.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you. Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts. These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.” Phew! So there we have it, are you ready?

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to come support are:- Angel Wing Phantom Quartz – fabulous for connecting to your higher self and to attain a sense of tranquility. Carnelian –stabilising, it restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Citrine – attracts wealth, prosperity and success. It imparts joy, wonder, delight and enthusiasm. Raises self-esteem and self-confidence. Oh yes, and glorious cherry blossoms wanted to share their radiance, and please don’t fret, they were placed in a flower bowl afterwards and are brightening up the corner table!

I am so loving the guides and the crystals that are present for this week.

So delicious lovely, let’s get present and mindful shall we? Take some delicious slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth and I invite you to ask the question – What are the gifts or opportunities available to me right now. Am I willing to move with the flow? Breathe that in and if you need some more support I have a delicious short guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

THE GOLDEN PHOENIX

You are transforming – both internally and externally – and this change is blessed, divine, and guided by your Golden Phoenix guardian. Talk to your Golden Phoenix at sunrise – and know that as you do so, your Golden Phoenix is recharging your chakras and your aura, and thus your experiences, thoughts, and reality. You are loved by the Golden Phoenix, and as you honour her with your transformation, she honours you with this marvelous gift of regeneration. Life from death. The sun from the ashes. You rise again, reborn. The Golden Phoenix is perhaps the greatest creature of rebirth and reincarnation. This sacred helper, guardian, and loving companion guides you to die before you die, to be born again within this life, many times. Allow the things that no longer serve you to fall like autumn leaves. Allow yourself to be reborn, like the budding leaves of spring. You are potentially in one of the most invigorating, challenging, and inspiring rebirth cycles ever.

You retreated, rested, and you recovered. And now you will reignite! You thought something – or someone – was done. Dead. In the past. But his once lifeless thing of ashes is about to flame back into full existence! You are about to witness a resurrection, and you and the reborn will have the chance to create something of warmth and beauty together – something pure, innocent, and wise that will benefit many. Life always finds a way – and you will have a Golden Phoenix guiding you to rekindle a dream you gave up on too soon.

THE DELICATE FAERY AND HER FRIENDS

Sometimes the transition between one cycle or stage and another is easy, fluid, flowing, and smooth. At other times it is rough, harsh, cruel, and painful. It is inevitable that, if we are truly alive, we will experience discomfort and challenges when confronted by the unfamiliar. This is no curse – it is evidence of wisdom being taught to us.

We change. We alter ourselves. We adapt. We choose. We become. You are now being shown a way and the gifted magickal tools to strengthen yourself while you develop your skills. You are also being sent a trusted companion to guide you through the deep forests of change. You feel very vulnerable, and there is fear in your heart. But why would there not be? Life is full of transitions, shifts, and epic moments when we can choose between our best self and the tired, conditioned, most often deflated self. In this time of change, there is no map, no guidebook, no previous knowledge to comfortably fall back on.

One cycle has ended. When a cycle changes or when we choose to create change courageously be challenging our limited self-beliefs, questioning our attachments to “truths”, or releasing our attachment to the way in which our lives “should” manifest, we are, either by choice or by contract, undergoing an initiation. A new friend, advisor, or piece of information will empower you. You must now shift the focus from what you fear to what you wish to become and face what it is that is frightening you needlessly.

It will not kill you. It might hurt a bit, but results will make it worth it!

THE UNENDING SADNESS OF LOOKING BACK

Your focus on the pain of the past increases its power. Let it go. This early life-form wishes you to know that it belongs in the past – it does not want to be re-created again and again and again. It does not have any desire to be the source of your pain. You are giving your energy, your breath, your own life to the existence of one who makes no demands on you. The past has hurt you, indeed. But it is long gone. The harm you suffer from now is by your own hand. You hold the very knife that is inflicting the thousand cuts. Put it down.

The shadow of the past is feeding off your energy, becoming a living thing, when its time has long passed and it no longer belongs with you. You are offering yourself to the past as a victim, nursing pain and being suffocated.

Represented by this ancient trilobite, the being you have created from the past, who wants to be a fossil but whom you insist on bringing to life, your true self wants only to be free and to be allowed to evolve and change. For your own sake, you must allow the past to fade so the wound can heal, so the scar can knit and become a mark of power.

Our past is fascinating, our past is rich, and our ancestry is worth investigating. But to live there, to cry because we believe we are no longer at that one perfect time in our lives, is to deny the gifts of the present and the treasures of the future. Your sadness is of your own making, for you are recycling the moment in the past when all changed, when your world failed you, and this is preventing you from opening and being fully alive now.

It’s time to release all that, heal, and let it go. You can do this.

Okay, seriously you can not make this shit up! What glorious cards for where we are at this moment in time and all the gifts, opportunities and creating a new “normal”! Whoot! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a week of exploring deep into your being what are the important things for you? What do you want to share? And whilst you do this, laugh, play and most certainly dance!!! Happy Earth Day and New Moon. Oh yes, if you are not part of the Light, Love and Laughter Community and would like to be (it’s totally free), just email me. Huge Hugs and Big Blessings!

You can be your Best Self, or Worst Self – the Choice is always Yours. And why Circles are important for you.

Jenny Heston · 1:01 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Musical, Majestic, Merry, Manifesting Monday! How are you delicious lovely? How are you feeling? It’s been a heck of a week hey, and I really hope you are taking time to practice self care tools and to Breathe and calm that Vagus nerve! I was thrilled to notice that all the delightful little seeds I had planted on Equinox (with intentions written out and in the soil) are all popping up and ready to grow and glow.

On Friday I woke up feeling supremely agitated, anxious and like a vise grip had gone around my chest! WTF? Then as I sat with it and asked it to share with me, I realised that I was picking up on the collective consciousness and my anger at my housemate who doesn’t think Corona is a thing so is being very neglectful. So once I had a conversation with him and advised him that if I got sick due to his selfishness and ignorance, he better not go to sleep as he might find two pieces of himself missing when he woke. (I wasn’t my best self at that moment). So I got outside and danced on the beach and moved all the energy through and out into the ocean. I felt much better!

I have been so impressed with humans this last week, and so dismayed as well. We always have two choices at every moment of every day – are we going to show up as our best self, or our worst self? I have watched some people scream and shout at front line workers, grocery store clerks and even people who are 6 feet away from them. They have allowed their fear to consume them and have gone into a place of it’s all about them, thus they aren’t showing up as their best selves, they’ve forgotten how.

Then I have had my hair blown back by others! If you remember I mentioned last week that I had been impelled by my guides to create a community called Light, Love and Laughter 10 days ago. Well in the space of 10 days we have grown from 1 person to just under 500!! But it’s easy to be part of a group and not really do anything right? The gorgeous delicious souls that have chosen to participate are showing up with HUGE Light, sharing their Love, laughing at themselves and seriously supporting each other and sharing the gifts and talents that each one of them has. My heart swells and soars when I see this level of humanity in play, community, connection, commitment and caring. Wowzers!

After all we are all in this together and we are each other’s salvation, right? We are all part of the circle. The Moon is a circle, Mother Earth is a circle. But actually the circle represents so much more than that. The circle is a universal symbol with extensive meaning. It represents the notions of totality, wholeness, original perfection, the Self, the Infinite, Eternity, timelessness, all cyclic movement. The energy of Nature (note the circle of the seasons). It is a symbol of divine energy. It has a feminine touch that embodies compassion, manifestation and infinity.

We heal in circles, we communicate in circles, we share deeply in safe circles, we are held in circles. Hmmmmm. Okay, I think it’s most certainly time to create some circles, don’t you, which I am thankful is what the community is doing.

When I went and asked who wanted to guide this week I was thrilled to see the glorious guides of the Lightworker Oracle show up. Now, if these guides 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 did their delicious wiggly, jiggly dance to come participate are: Rhodonite – is a stone of compassion, an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and that nurtures love. A gorgeous Yellow Jasper heart – It sustains and supports through times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Red Snowflake Obsidian – which is great for bringing things to the surface.

Okay, let’s drop into the circle. The circle of the Divine, the circle of your wise inner self. Breathe, just be and breathe. You are safe, you are held, you are healed, breathe. As you breathe and relax allow the image of expressing yourself to come into your mind’s eye. With that floating there trust yourself to pick the card or cards that you need this week.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

SEVENTH RAY OF RITUAL, ORDER AND CEREMONY

When the gift of the Seventh Ray enters your life, something new is being formed, something that will benefit your world. There may be an increased interest in magic, ceremony and ritual for healing purposes. Resonating with high frequency violet light and the Archangel Zadkiel, the Seventh Ray also helps transmute energy from the lower to higher frequency. It is a spiritual cleansing agent that allows the truth of spiritual freedom, empowerment and choice to be seen and felt, restoring hope and joy to the heart.

The Seventh Ray is the push and pull between the old and new – the life that has been can no longer continue in that form, and the new life that wants to evolve from the old. It honours traditions and ancestral wisdom that serve new life. You are asked to balance your attachment to what has been with an openness to the new. It is a time to fearlessly question what has been, honour what continues to hold value for you and dismiss what no longer serves you.

The Seventh Ray also creates form from invisible, intangible spiritual energy. These are the inspired solutions and synchronicities that seem to come out of nowhere. They are signs of the divine order happening. The Seventh Ray brings an alignment with that divine order, and the more you are willing to invoke and allow that energy to bless you, the more your life will align itself with the genius of creativity, solutions and loving opportunities the Universe wants to bring to your world.

The gifts of ritual, order and ceremony are ways to attract this energy. Conscious ceremony, done in service to unconditional divine love, feeds a need for sacred embodiment. It is the hunger with the soul that many seek to feed through religion – and others through the less conscious rituals of addiction. Ritual can be something that keeps you stuck, or opens you to the sacred.

The gift of the Seventh Ray is the ability to live as an embodied, divine presence. For humans who don’t trust or even recognise the love of the Divine in their hearts as yet, those who do are are great supporters. Use loving ritual to invite divine presence to fill you and your life. Use your consciousness to clean up your own energy field and the energy field of the world around you, so the Divine can show its face more clearly. The comfort of this can help free all beings from anguish and suffering.

FOURTH RAY OF HARMONY

The Fourth Ray of Harmony comes to you now with the qualities of beauty, harmony and balance. It empowers you to complete a spiritual initiation. Any conflict you experience now serves your divine purpose. It will eventually become the fuel you need to be born anew. Something negative will be transformed into something positive. The Archangel Gabriel helps you to receive the blessing of the Fourth Ray of Harmony, now.

When the Fourth Ray of Harmony is active in your life, you are approaching spiritual initiation, which creates a whole new person, a new you. Initiation may begin with feeling torn between two choices of realities. You may wonder if you have what it takes to get through this. You do. As you discover your strength to be patient with the process, rather than trying to force an outcome prematurely, eventually you will outgrow the conflict altogether, emerging as a wiser, more powerful you. You will have gained a positive outcome from what was once considered to be a negative situation.

The challenge and the gift with the Fourth Ray of Harmony is the increased sensitivity to beauty it engenders. Music takes on a whole new emotional depth. The beauty (or chaos) in your environment, world, and even the colours you wear, has more impact on you than usual. You can use this increased sensitivity to your advantage by choosing art, music, colours and so on that feel good for you.

The mainstream is still operating in a fear-based energy. With increased sensitivity, you can at times be more affected by this. If you are experiencing increased negativity, depression, doubt, fear or emotional instability, this is likely why. You can overcome this without shutting down. When you sense it happening, respond with a loving discipline. You might meditate, journal, dance, create art, listen to music, exercise, have a bath, or spend time in nature to bring yourself back to balance.

You may not immediately solve an issue, but start doing what you need to to take care of yourself, knowing resolution is on its way.

ALCHEMICAL MUTATION

Your spiritual growth is changing your mind, body and soul. It is very real. It is helping you fulfil all aspects of your divine destiny. It is awakening spiritual talents and attracting in new energies. This process will bring tremendous joy and satisfaction.

The body changes as light enters. Alchemy is catalysed and transformation happens. Sometimes, the appearance of the body changes. There will be change in how the body feels, responds, acts and creates. Readiance increases. Lightness of being increases. Spiritual abilities become grounded in the body, and the spirit becomes a living reality in the body, and the material world is experienced as an extension of the divine light.

This alchemy is an empowering gift of love. Symptoms of this process can at times be challenging. So use the three simple practices to help you. Getting regular rest – additional sleep is a powerful way for the body and mind to heal and repair, integrate and re-organise. Allos time for physical exercise, which can help release excess energy, especially if you tend to feel mentally congested. Take some time away from meditation, spiritual studies or discussions and energy work. Instead, simply be in nature or rest.

Finally, working with cooling energy, not cold, but refreshing, as a way to discharge excess heat, can be extremely beneficial to body and mind. You are Alchemy in Motion.

I am clapping my hands in delight with the cards! Positively Perfect for this week, the energy and the circles! So delicious lovely, please remember to be gentle with yourself, play, smile and do something that makes you wiggle with delight. Also, remember to Open Heart, Hands Washed, Love on! I look forward to hearing about what circles mean to you, and thank you for being part of mine! Oh yes, quite a few of you have asked if I am still doing Private Readings. I am and I think next week I am going to create one that is by donation to help and support you. Huge Blessings. Massive Virtual Hugs and Squeezes.

New Moon in Aries, and what an Interesting Week it’s been!

Jenny Heston · 1:00 am ·

Happy, Magickal, Mysterious, Marvelous, Melodic, Manifesting, Merry Monday! How are you my most delicious lovely?

It’s been a heck of a week and the world as a whole is reeling with what is happening. Turn on any news, open a paper, talk to anyone and it’s all about Corona Virus. Which is why this post is not going to be about that. Not because I’m being an ostrich, more a case of believing heart and soul that we need to find new tools, laugh and find ways of resiliency to help us feel calm, aligned, grounded and strong. Yes? And saying thank you to all the amazing people like first responders, health care workers, grocery store clerks whomever, who is still showing up even though they would rather be safe and at home. Life as we know it has changed and we need to find a way through into something more sustainable, aligned and that benefits the whole!

As many of you know on Friday I sent out a link to a lovely community that I was told very clearly to create. Light, Love and Laughter. And as many of you know the link didn’t work, after digging and researching we found it is because the group is set to private. Why private? So that we can be real, raw and rare – share our gifts, shine our lights and have those deep conversations. So if you want to join us (we have gone from 1 on Friday lunchtime to about 250 by Sunday lunchtime). Send me a message and somehow we will figure out how to add you.

Okay, Tuesday we have a glorious New Moon in Aries, whoot!!! The Aries New Moon is typically one of the best for manifesting, setting intentions, and planting seeds. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and New Moons signal the start of a new lunar cycle, so there is strong energy for new beginnings and fresh starts. Plus the fact that we have Saturn moving into Aquarius, wowzer! All of this energy is already sending intense waves out into the cosmos and the New Moon will heighten all of this, plus bring a little of its own energy too.

As Forever Conscious shares: “Under all of this fiery Aries energy, we may feel wound up or extra emotional if we don’t give ourselves a healthy outlet to express it. Be mindful of allowing your emotions to boil over and try to act from a place of calm and ease. Take your time, think things through, and don’t be impulsive.

Interestingly, this New Moon falls at 4 degrees of Aries, which has been a trend. Back in February, the New Moon was at 4 degrees Pisces, in January the New Moon was at 4 degrees of Aquarius, in December, the New Moon Eclipse was at 4 degrees of Capricorn. In 2020, we are also in a number 4 year according to numerology.

In a number 4 year, we are called to return to the self and to find ways to create safety, comfort, and purpose from within.

4 represents feeling at home within ourselves, and it definitely seems this is a trend for many of us right now.

In astrology, 4 degrees of Aries is actually a very spiritually sensitive degree of the zodiac. It indicates advanced psychic energies and the ability to ascend to higher realms while remaining grounded.

At this time we can all deepen our connection with Spirit and use it as a tool to connect with who we are and what we can do to feel more at home within ourselves.

The Aries New Moon is always a wonderful time to set intentions for the year ahead but rather than telling Spirit and the Universe what you want, why not instead, open your heart to receive what Spirit and the Universe want from you?”

How can you become a vessel for Spirit? How can you allow Spirit to take the lead in your life and show you the way forward?

Sometimes one of the most powerful intentions we can set is to surrender to the Divine, Source, the Universe, or whatever we want to call it, and just allow it to show us the way to the perfect new beginnings for our soul.

What glorious energy to shine some light through the veil of fear that is pervading everything. This is where I highly, highly, highly suggest you give yourself some time and do the New Moon Bowl Ritual. It’s easy, it’s free and it’s powerful as it takes your intentions and puts actions to them.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide this week I was so thrilled to see it was the Earth Warrior Oracle, as now more than ever we need to become Warriors of Light, Love and Laughter. Now if these guides are new to you please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to! 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.”

Oh my gosh I am smiling so much now as they are positively perfect for this moment in time. And then interestingly enough they insisted on 4 cards for this week!

The crystals that wiggled and jiggled and bounced up and down to join in and support are:- Morganite – cleanses the emotional body of stress and anxiety, old wounds and hidden traumas, and enkindles lightness within the spirit, as if a burden has been lifted and released. K2 – enhances one’s discernment, a stone of deep insight. Clear Quartz – is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. Rhodonite – a glorious stone of forgiveness and one of the most powerful heart chakra stones. The glorious little flowers that came to join, I have no clue what they are. They grow on a tree near me and smell divine!

Woosah, let’s settle in shall we? Breathe, gorgeous one, deep into your belly and let it expand all the corners. See your roots going down into the earth and connecting with the Divine Mumma and pulling glorious healing energy up through your roots and letting it dance through your body. There is a gorgeous guided visualisation to help you ground, connect with the Divine and breathe if you feel inclined.

When you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug for you, invite you in.

Shall we go see?

LINA

What Must Be, Shall Be

You have beautiful dreams and inspired, bold ambitions. You are guided to believe that they are a natural expression of your soul, something that is meant to be. Life will support you in the expression of those dreams and ambitions, even in the moments where it seems to be struggle rather than support, that you are experiencing. The process for transformation into full maturity involves learning how to grow through light and through darkness back to the light again. You will always find your way back to the light. Have faith in yourself and what must be. Dedicate yourself to what you love without hesitation.

If you are experiencing loss or change, have faith. Sometimes things happen that seem to working against us. It is only later that they show themselves to have been valuable ways by which we acquired the greater faith, courage and determination that were necessary to the fulfilment of our purpose.

Know that your destiny is unfolding, and you are moving through circumstances that are ultimately going to help you become your soul in fullness and splendour. Keep going. Everything happening in your life is helping you to fulfil your divine potential.

Sometimes this can be confronting. To give up old ways or old identities can seem frightening to the mind. Yet it is inspiring and exciting for the soul that yearns to blossom into fullness and cannot thrive when it is held back in fear.

If you are a visionary with ideas that are not yet widely understood, but will help push humanity towards the new world, you may struggle more than most. In this cse, you are asked to take leaps of faith and endure the endings inherent in evolution whilst waiting for the signs of new life.

Know that any darkness will give way to the light.

CHAKANA

Time to Cross the Threshold

Threshold appears, bringing an ending so complete that it is no longer possible to return to what has been. The light of the star is your faithful guide into this new world. S 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 and futhers 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 a new future.

IXCHEL

Medicine of the Rainbow Jaguar

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

Star of Venus

Ch’aska, Star of Venus, supports an inner shift to higher consciousness. Whether or not you consider yourself to be financially skilful, part of your sacred power and purpose includes the healing of economic and financial matters in your own life and the world. You are meant to experience abundance, creating and sharing prosperity from a place of inner spiritual security. A healing liberation from poverty consciousness allows the Universe to work through you more easily without the obstruction of negative conditioning.

You are being guided to give up false shame of not having enough, or guilt for having too much. Your true worth is a matter of soul and has nothing to do with material things. As you relax and acknowledge the love that the Universe has for you, your material reality will unfold with grace and divine support.

Financial healing is indicated. Let go of fear and trust unconditionally that the Universe is supporting you. What brings you a sense of joy, purpose and passionate devotion? Focus on that. Believe in your ability to thrive by being and expressing your authentic self. Notice how you relax into flow and more easily attract what you need when you acknowledge that the Universe wants you to flourish through being you. Focus on putting your beautiful beliefs out into the world, not in consuming the negativity or fear of others. Give of your spirit abundantly!

Oh my gosh! You seriously can’t make this stuff up – what glorious cards for this week ahead! So my delicious lovely, I wish for you a week of health, light, healing and calm. May you and your family/friends be well and be blessed. In the words of Brene Brown – This pandemic experience is a massive experiment in collective vulnerability. We can be our worst selves when we’re afraid, or our very best, bravest selves. In the context of fear and vulnerability, there is often very little in between because when we are uncertain and afraid our default is self-protection. We don’t have to be scary when we’re scared. Let’s choose awkward, brave, and kind. And let’s choose each other.

I choose you.

Big Hugs and Squeezes,
