Harnessing Earth’s Energy: A Beginner’s Guide to Crystal Healing

In our fast-paced modern lives, finding moments of stillness and connection to something larger than ourselves can feel like a luxury. Yet, the Earth offers us a tangible way to tap into its inherent wisdom and energy: crystals.

For centuries, across various cultures, crystals have been revered for their beauty and their unique energetic properties. From ancient Egyptians adorning themselves with lapis lazuli to indigenous cultures using quartz for healing rituals, the fascination with these earthly treasures endures. But what exactly is crystal healing, and how can it benefit you?

The Science (and Mystery) Behind the Sparkle:

While scientific research on crystal healing is ongoing, the principles often revolve around the idea that crystals possess unique vibrational frequencies due to their atomic structure. These vibrations are believed to interact with our own energy field, promoting balance, healing, and well-being.

Think of it like tuning forks resonating with each other. When a crystal’s specific vibration aligns with an imbalance in your energy field, it can help to restore harmony.

Getting Started with Crystal Healing:

The beauty of crystal healing is its accessibility. You don’t need to be an expert to begin experiencing their benefits. Here are a few simple ways to incorporate crystals into your life:

  • Carrying Crystals: Simply holding a crystal in your hand or carrying it in your pocket allows its energy to interact with your aura throughout the day. Choose crystals based on your current needs – rose quartz for love and compassion, amethyst for calm and intuition, citrine for abundance and joy.
  • Crystal Meditation: Hold a crystal during meditation to deepen your focus and enhance your connection to its energy. Visualize the crystal’s energy radiating outwards and infusing your being.
  • Creating a Crystal Grid: Arrange crystals in specific geometric patterns to amplify their energy and focus your intentions. This can be used for manifesting goals, promoting healing, or creating a harmonious space.
  • Placing Crystals in Your Environment: Decorate your home or workspace with crystals to create a specific energetic atmosphere. For example, placing selenite in a room can promote peace and clarity, while placing carnelian can boost creativity.
  • Crystal Elixirs (with caution!): Some crystals (non-toxic and water-safe) can be used to infuse water with their energy. Always research thoroughly before making a crystal elixir.

Choosing Your Crystal Allies:

The world of crystals is vast and vibrant, with each stone possessing its own unique properties. When choosing a crystal, trust your intuition. What colors or shapes are you drawn to? Research the properties of those crystals and see if they resonate with your current needs and intentions.

Some Popular Crystals and Their General Properties:

  • Clear Quartz: Amplification, clarity, energy cleansing.
  • Amethyst: Calm, intuition, stress relief, spiritual connection.
  • Rose Quartz: Love, compassion, emotional healing, self-love.
  • Citrine: Abundance, joy, confidence, manifestation.
  • Selenite: Cleansing, purification, clarity, connection to higher realms.
  • Black Tourmaline: Protection, grounding, dispelling negative energy.

Embrace the Earth’s Gifts:

Crystal healing is a gentle and supportive practice that can enhance your well-being on multiple levels. By consciously connecting with these beautiful gifts from the Earth, you can tap into their unique energies and create positive shifts in your life.

10 Ways to Raise Your Vibration

Posted on by Enchanted Soul in Crystal, Energy, psychic

According to universal law and the science of quantum physics, everything in the universe is fundamentally made of pure energy that is constantly moving, vibrating at different speeds. As a result, we each have our own ‘vibrational frequency’, which impacts every aspect of our lives.

This is, in fact, where the Law of Attraction comes into play. The idea that YOU create your own reality, and like attracts like. Similar to radio waves, your vibrational frequency emanates from your cumulative thoughts, emotions and consciousness, and is constantly being broadcast out into the universe. This broadcast then attracts similar experiences, people, and opportunities…both good and bad. A high vibration attracts positive, spiritually uplifting experiences, while a low vibration attracts the opposite. 

The good news is, as the creator of your life, you have the power to change your frequency and raise your vibration at any moment. Here are 10 of the most powerful ways to raise your vibration to live a more positive, meaningful life:

Meditate – By helping you process your thoughts and quieting the ego, meditation gives you tools to release stress and negativity. It connects us to the space within that transcends thoughts, feelings and circumstances, bringing us greater peace and equanimity. The more you meditate, the more you will inhabit the meditative state in your waking life.

Take part in a ‘digital detox’ – Although computers, smart phones and iPads can help with many aspects of our modern lives, all electronic devices emit subtle, invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that can negatively impact your energy field. It’s best to use electronic devices for no more than two hours at a time before taking a break. Avoid reaching for your phone first thing in the morning, and stop using it at least an hour before you go to bed.

Be conscious of your environment – Our physical environment mirrors our emotional state, and a cluttered home is a sure sign of a cluttered mind. Even chores as simple as taking out the trash, washing the dishes, vacuuming a room, or making your bed in the morning can have a measurable impact on your state of mind and provide an instant energy boost.

Spend time with positive people – When we surround ourselves with people who dim our light, it is impossible to live to our fullest potential. It’s been said that you become the sum of the five people you spend the most time with, so take a good look at your social circle and make sure it’s elevating, not suppressing, your vibrational frequency. Spend time with people who lift you up and allow you to be your authentic self, and release toxic people from your life without guilt or shame.

Spend time in nature – Nature grounds us and surrounds us with positive energy. When surrounded by nature, our ego starts to dissolve, our low frequencies start to dissipate, and we raise our vibration. Just noticing the trees, feeling your feet rooted in the grassy earth, and breathing in fresh air will help you reconnect with your higher self.

Clean up your diet – An abundance of energy, mental clarity, and inner peace all start with what we put into our bodies. Everything you consume is prana, or life force energy. If you eat a lot of “dead” energy (in the form of meat, fried, or processed food), you will lower your vibration. By eating nutrient-dense, prana-rich foods, like local and organic fruits and vegetables, your body literally absorbs these things, making you more light, vibrant, and alive.

Be conscious of your thoughts (and practice gratitude!) – Your thoughts become your reality. Pay attention to the way you talk about yourself and other people. Let go of judgment and release your fear of what other people think, and do what you love. Appreciation of little things. Forgive. Forgiving is one of the most powerful ways to raise your vibration because there is nothing holding you down anymore, allowing you to release negative frequencies that you were holding onto. Stop complaining and instead focus on gratitude! Practice saying thank you to people in your life more regularly, and keep a daily gratitude journal listing everything you appreciate about yourself, your life and the world around you.

Move your body – By moving our bodies, our vibration can start to move too. Even small amounts of physical exercise can raise your vibration. Whether it’s walking, running, swimming or practicing yoga, physical exercise can help get you out of mental or emotional ruts and boost healthy endorphins. If you don’t like working out, dance, walk, go in nature, and find ways to move your body that make you feel good. It doesn’t matter how much you sweat; the key is moving through and away from energies that could be weighing you down in your current environment.

Serve others – Countless studies have shown that those who volunteer their time towards service to others and the world are happier, healthier, and more personally fulfilled. The simple act of taking the focus off of your own problems and serving others will move you into greater alignment with the natural flow and grace of the universe.

Love yourself – Be your own best friend, because the only thing that we have and control, in the end, is ourselves. Treat yourself well. Respect your boundaries and values. Listen to your body and soul. When you love yourself, and completely accept yourself, you begin to love and accept others as they are as well. This, in turn, allows you to let go of negative emotions such as jealousy, resentment, hatred, anger, and manipulation, helping you become your best self.

When you implement these 10 tips, you’ll inevitably be releasing things, people, feelings, thoughts, and situations that no longer serve your highest good. You’ll be creating a frequency and this will become you’re new norm. This state of being is magical and you get to experience it every day if you choose to do so. By becoming the best version of yourself, you can also help others do the same, and ultimately lead humanity to a more positive place.

How To Find Your Spirit Animal

Posted on by Enchanted Soul in Energy, psychic

In the spirit realm, there are numerous guides willing to help you. Ascended Masters, spirit guides, archangels and angels are all on your side ready to offer you guidance and wisdom. However, there is another member of your spiritual family that is waiting for you: your spirit animal.

But how do you go about finding your spirit animal and why should you bother?

You Are Chosen

You don’t actually find your spirit animal, your spirit animal finds you! This discovery is made when you are usually in an altered state of mind such as daydreaming, in meditation or dreaming. In these times your spirit animal will appear and choose you!

How do you know which particular animal has chosen you? Keep an eye out for unusual encounters with an animal that occurs over a brief period of time. This is an indication that your spirit animal is trying to get your attention!

Pay Attention To Occurrences Around You

To find your spirit animal (by the way, you can have more than one spirit animal) pay close attention to what is happening around you. Here are some ways you can discover your spirit animal:

● When you are out in nature, watch the animals around you and see how they behave.

● Watch for any repeated experiences with a particular animal either in its natural form or through symbolism.

● If an animal suddenly enters your life in an unexpected and surprising way, it could be your spirit animal reaching out to you. Remember, your spirit animal chooses you not the other way around!

● Look for animals appearing in your dreams or in images during your time of meditation.

● If you are reading a book about animals, there may be a certain animal that sticks out for you, as though it is reaching out to you from within the pages of the book. Make a note of which animal or animals seem to stand out.

By being alert to the animals that appear in your life shows that you are open to receiving your spirit animal’s contact. They will come to you.

How To Find Your Spirit Animal Through Meditation Or Dreaming

When you meditate or go to sleep to dream you are reaching an altered state of consciousness. It is through this that the spirit realm can reach out to you. So, when it comes to finding your spirit animal here is how you can do so through either meditation or dreaming.

Finding Your Spirit Animal Through Meditation

When you meditate, allow yourself to become receptive to whatever intuitively appears in your mind’s eye (which is your Third Eye Chakra and is the energy centre that is open to messages from the spirit realm). When an animal appears to you during your meditation, make note of the animal.

Animals Appearing In Your Dreams

At night, when you slip into the land of slumber be aware of any animals that come to you in your dreams. When you are sleeping your conscious mind is in temporary shut down and your subconscious mind is let loose and open to receiving information from the higher realms. Pay particular attention to any recurring dreams in which a certain animal keeps turning up.

Now you have an inkling as to what your spirit animal is, what do you do next?

What Do You Do Once You Have Found Your Spirit Animal?

Once you have discovered what your spirit animal or animals (remember, you can have more than one!) what do you do? It’s pretty simple: Learn as much as you can about that animal!

Read about the animal. Watch videos featuring it or go and observe it in nature. Ask yourself, what would it be like to be that animal? Allow your imagination to run wild!

Also, what are the characteristics of the animal that appeals to you? Why are these traits so attractive to you? How are they reflective of you and your personality? Is there something that you admire in the animal that you wish you could bring into your life, such as courage, peace, a social skill that the animal exhibits.

Your spirit animal reaches out to you to teach and guide you, so allow yourself to learn from it.

Chakras

Posted on by Enchanted Soul in Crystal, Energy, psychic

There are 7 main energy centres in the body, known as chakras. Each chakra is located throughout our body so that it ties in to specific body ache and physical dysfunctions; each energy centre also houses our mental and emotional strengths. When we have a physical issue, it creates weaknesses in our emotional behaviour. When we release the stale energy from the body, it can undo any tightness, stiffness, or malfunction of that area.

The clearing of the energy can also balance our emotional state of mind. The chakra mind and body balance is a two-way street, if there are certain fears and emotions we are holding on to, we experience physical restrictions, too.

Energy is my first language.

Energy is my first language. I understand it more than I do words.
Shielding basically means visualizing, intending and feeling that you are completely surrounded in an orb, blanket, or cocoon of light.
As a spiritual and vibrational being you may accidentally absorb negativity and lower energies from others. This is especially true if you visit a location or gathering where lower vibrational energies are present, or for sensitive and empathic individuals who often take on energy from others.

My morning ritual involves shielding myself and family. I vision a white light coming from above and surrounding my entire body. You can pick any colour light you would like. I do this for each member of my family. You can also shield your home, car, pets, loved ones.

A pink light shield protects against negativity in all forms. Nothing can penetrate a pink light shield except for loving energies of love, light, and compassion. When you surround yourself with pink light you’re effectively sending loving into towards yourself, and all whom you encounter.

A green light shield is an effective physical healing tool for those working to physically heal themselves, or when taking care of others who are ill. Within the green shield of light healing energy cleanses, heals and uplifts the physical body in the way which will most serve.

A purple light shield will protect against negativity, align your will Divine guidance, and elevate your spiritual vibration simultaneously. With a purple light shield around you, negativity in your midst will be transmuted into the light, and lower vibrational energies, entities, and negativity in all forms including psychic attack will be repelled, and if they come too close dissolved into the light of the Divine.

A blue light shield will soothe and calm your energy if you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed by the energies or people surrounding you. It can also help you to collect your thoughts and clearly communicate your truth. Since blue is calming and soothing, it’s a great shield to work with during sleep, of if you’re feeling anxious, overly emotional, or heated.

A rainbow light shield will surround you in all the colors of Divine light. This helps to boost your healing and spiritual abilities while keeping your energy safe, loving, and protected.

A silver shield of light is a wonderful shield to wear when you’re going to be in a busy public place or around lots of people. Inside the silver light you’ll feel safe, uplifted and protected while all negativity surrounding you is effortlessly reflected away or neutralized. Silver light will also help to boost your intuition, and heal imbalances or instabilities within your energy.

A gold light shield works well to boost your confidence, creativity, and spiritual inspiration. Gold carries an incredibly high vibration, and this color of light makes a wonderful outer shell to be used in conjunction with any of the other light shield colors.

The great thing about shielding with light is you don’t have to just choose just one colour. Imagine a multi-layered shield of light around you, or simply ask the Divine and angels to surround you with the shield of light which will most serve you now.
