<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">HOW DO SOME PEOPLE BECOME
GHOSTS?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We are all given free will
– even when we die. The light leading the way to the other side
appears for us all, but we can choose to go through or stay and become a
ghost. There are many theories as to how long the light lingers
around us after death. Some mediums believe it’s three days after
the funeral, others say it’s three days after the final memorial. The
exact length of time is not known. What we do know is that eventually
the white light leaves and the person is now a ghost without a body, voice box
or means of communication with those of us living in this dimension. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">WHY DO SOME CHOOSE TO
BECOME A GHOST?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People refuse to go through
the light for many reasons. Sometimes the grieving ones won’t let
their loved ones pass on. Every time they cry out, “Don’t leave me!”
the spirit is pulled back to this plane. Sometimes the newly
deceased is afraid of being judged for their actions in the after life. Often,
people stay because they don’t believe in an afterlife. And
sometimes, people get stuck because their curiosity gets the best of
them. Once they discover they can go anywhere with a thought and act
as a fly on the wall, they don’t want to leave. The gossip is too
tempting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">WHY DO GHOSTS ATTACH TO
PEOPLE AND PLACES?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Once they are stuck here,
they realize that they can’t get their energy from drinking, eating or sleeping
like they used to. Soon they discover that they can only get their
energy from us. Because they’re now earthbound, they are vibrating
at a low level and therefore get their energy from lower level vibrations such
as stress, anger, sadness and frustration. It doesn’t take them long
to discover that they can manipulate metal and electricity fairly easily. So
if they misplace your keys five minutes before you have to leave for work, and
you get completely stressed out and frustrated searching for them because you
“know” you put them on the kitchen counter, the ghost in your house can live
off that energy for several days. If they turn your TV off while
you’re watching it, that surge of fear you emit can last them for a good
while. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ghosts need to therefore
attach their energy to someone or someplace. This is how they
“survive.” If they attach to a place and the homeowners move out,
the ghost will go dormant for a while until a new family moves in. Without
our energy to steal, they go into a sleep like state. This is why
many ghosts choose to attach to people instead. Like attracts like,
so they have to find someone who has similar energy. Most people who
choose to stay a ghost aren’t the best kind of people. They tend to
be addicted to earthly things – money, food, pleasure, drugs, alcohol. So
if for example on earth they were focused on looking good, they might attach to
someone who is obsessed with body image. An alcoholic ghost will
seek out a current alcoholic. They are drawn to people of similar
energies and will attach to them. They usually attach at the back of
the solar plexus chakra – in the middle of our back. But this isn’t
an absolute. If a person was a sex addict in life, they will attach
to a similar energy at the sacral chakra. If a person was jealous
and possessive and attaches to a similar energy, it will usually link in at the
heart chakra. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> If you’ve experienced extreme
drinking, eating or drugging, you’ve put holes in your aura and are therefore
at risk of an attachment. If you’ve had surgery, there will be a
tear in your aura for about six months afterward that will need to sealed with
rest. In the meantime, you would be vulnerable to attachment. But
remember, if you keep your energy light, positive and healthy, you won’t have
anything to give a ghost and they will eventually leave you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Ghosts in the home can effect us
physically. Adults tend to experience more tension headaches than is
the norm while children might have upset stomachs and sore throats. Adults can
also experience an increase in colds and upper respiratory issues. Do not think
that every sore throat means there is a ghost in the house. This is just
one sign that must be checked off a long list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Electrical problems. Some
people will experience issues with their TV, phone, computer or children’s
toys. People report TVs turning on when no one is in the room. Children’s
electronic toys might go off in the middle of the night. Alarms
going off during the day and computers freezing up are also reported. Lights
turning on and off are common in a haunting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

areas of cold spots in your home, you might have a ghost. This can
be very common in an older home, however. Taken alone, none of these signs
points to a ghost. Check your insulation. Always rule out
physical explanantions first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "-webkit-standard","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unusual animal behavior. If
your dog or cat suddenly acts skittish in one part of your home, stares at one
spot in particular or barks at “nothing,” while staring at a corner of the

of being watched. In your home you might feel as though an unseen
presence is always watching you. Many people report that this occurs
most often at night and when they’re alone. This is a common feeling
and is usually not paranormal, but if it happens consistently and in the same
part of the house, it might be something. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

can feed for days off of a good argument, so they will often send thoughts into
people’s head to create fighting and tension. People living in a
haunted home often report that their marriage was going great and then suddenly
senseless fighting erupted and they couldn’t stop it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

energized when you leave. Because ghosts take our energy, we will
feel drained, tired and a bit cranky when we’re home but once we leave the
home, we’ll feel more energized and happier. If a ghost has attached
itself to you, this will be a much harder feeling to shake. It’s
important to see your doctor to make sure these feelings don’t have a common,
explainable source that can be helped with medicine or therapy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

clutter. Open the windows on a bright sunny day. Open
your blinds to always to let the light in. Sage your house
weekly. Keep crystals in your home to lift the energy. Play
classical music or the Gregorian chants in your home to break up
negativity. Have a running source of water in your home to clear the
energy such as an aquarium or water fountain. Avoid fake, silk
plants and opt for live plants which will help clean the energy in your home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span>What’s a night worker? A night worker
is an intuitive who helps people during their dream state. Some people with natural psychic abilities
have agreed to work as night workers meaning they astral travel at night to
help others in a variety of ways. Some
night workers will travel to sick people and help heal their energy. Other night workers will counsel people about
a problem the dreamer is dealing with.
Some intuitives will help recently departed souls cross over and still
other night workers use the dream state to help animals who are lost or
injured. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">When we sleep, most of us astral
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our soul leaves our body and
travels through the astral planes. We remain connected to our body by a silver
“umbilical cord” of energy. Most people travel to the other side to rest or
review their soul’s path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But some
people – called Night Workers -- spend this time helping others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Night workers have dreams that are
very different from the average dreamer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A night worker’s dreams are vivid, colorful, and chronological.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dreams feel more like visits and have a
clear beginning, middle and end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often
night workers wake up feeling more tired than when they went to sleep. Read on
to discover if you could possibly be a night worker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">Many night workers report dreaming
about helping souls cross over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
someone dies suddenly from an accident, heart attack or other unexpected cause,
they often aren’t aware they are dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They need help realizing this so they can go through the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the newly deceased are still
connected to earth, they can’t see spirit guides, angels and loved ones who
have already gone through the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
they need mediums here on earth to connect with them and tell them to go
through the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a job that
many natural mediums do during the sleep state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their soul will astral travel to a newly deceased soul and help them to
see the light and cross over. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

South Carolina, remembers one night dreaming that she was standing on the
highway next to a man who had recently died in a motorcycle accident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man appeared very dazed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was clearly in shock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sue Ann got his attention by getting him to
repeat his name and where he lived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
told him to look into the light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he
did, he started waving to his grandfather and happily walked through the tunnel
to the other side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sue Ann woke up and
read in the newspaper that a man had indeed died that night in a motorcycle
accident. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

others even when they’re sleeping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Doctors, nurses, Reiki practitioners and holistic healers have reported

directs to their chakras. She usually will meet that person later in the week
in real time in her office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>Rick, a psychotherapist, has dreams where he’s sitting in a classroom at
an old fashioned desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He always sees a

to animals often report having dreams where they help animals find their home,
get adopted or cross over to the other side.
Stephanie, a Veterinarian’s assistant, has had several night worker
dreams where she’s helped animals. When
her client’s cat went missing, she dreamt that she saw the cat miles away in another

after a long illness, she still heard his paws on the hardwood floors and one
night felt his cold, wet nose brush against her leg when she was walking to the
kitchen. She feared that he had not
crossed over out of loyalty to her. One
night she had a dream where she was walking her dog and told him it was okay to
move on, that he needed to be in heaven with the other dogs. She watched as he ran off into the
light. When she woke up, Barbara knew
her dog had finally crossed over. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;">You might be a night worker
too. Do you often wake up exhausted as
if you’ve worked all night? Do you have
dreams that feel very real? Have you
dreamt of helping someone? Have you dreamt of a stranger and later met them in
real life? If you think you’re a night worker, start to record your
dreams. The more you write your dreams
down, the more clearly you’ll remember them.
Being a Night Worker can be illuminating and gratifying, but it can also
be exhausting when you truly need a good night’s sleep. So if you’ve had a really long day, tell your
guides and angels before you go to sleep that you need a night off!<span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’ve all heard of famous curses like The Hope Diamond, King
Tut’s Curse, and the Kennedy Curse. But are they real or just a series of
coincidences? It’s true that our words
hold power. In the Book of Genesis, God
creates the entire world with His words.
Words are indeed seeds of creation, but the power of belief is just as
potent. Let’s examine some famous curses
and let the facts help us determine if curses are powered by words or
belief. Could it be that there is magic
in the intention behind a curse? Or it
more plausible that curses only work if the curser and the cursee believe in
it?</div>

<b>THE HOPE DIAMOND</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the Hope Diamond was stolen from a Hindu statue, the
priests put a curse on the thief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
man died a slow and painful death. King Louis the XIV bought it in 1673.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He died shortly thereafter of gangrene and
all his children – save one – died in childhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Louis the XVI inherited the stone and gave it
to his wife Marie Antoinette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were
beheaded during the French Revolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The stone then passed to Wilhelm Fals, a Dutch jeweler murdered by his
son. A Greek merchant bought the diamond and later drove his car off a
cliff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When heiress Evelyn Walsh McLean
bought the diamond, she lost her son in an accident and her daughter from a
drug overdose. The next owner, Harry Winston, heard the only way to break the
curse was to give the stone away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
donated it to the Smithsonian where it can be seen today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon found Tutankhamen’s
tomb in 1922, it’s said that “death comes on wings to he who enters the tomb of
the pharaoh” was inscribed over the entrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Shortly after, a mosquito bit Lord Carnarvon on his cheek. When he
opened the cut while shaving, he got blood poisoning and died that evening in
Cairo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His beloved dog is said to have
howled and died at the exact moment back at his estate in England.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
1925, when Tutankhamen was unwrapped, he was found to have a wound on his left
cheek in the exact spot where Lord Carnarvon was bitten by the mosquito that
led to his death. By 1929, 11 people connected to the expedition died
mysterious deaths.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ironically, Howard
Carter – who led the expedition and entered the tomb first – lived a long,
healthy life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He never believed in
curses.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>TECUMSEH’S CURSE</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After William Henry Harrison defeated Tecumseh and his men
at the Battle of Tippecanoe, rumor has it that Tecumseh placed a curse on the
future president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>William Henry Harrison
was elected president in 1840, but he caught a cold at his inauguration (after
ignoring his wife’s suggestion to wear a coat) and died of pneumonia after
being in office for just one month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since then, every president from 1840- 1960 elected or re-elected every
20<sup>th</sup> year has died in office. The curse has been considered broken
since Ronald Reagan (elected in 1980) survived an assassination attempt in
1981.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could it be that Tecumseh put a
curse on the man and succeeding gentlemen who stole land from his people?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or is it just a series of odd coincidences?<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>HAROLD BENNETT</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Dr.
Larry Dossey interned at a hospital in Texas, he met a patient named Harold
Bennett who appeared to be dying but doctors couldn’t figure out why.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr Bennett told Dr. Dossey that he’d refused
to pay a fortune teller, so cursed him. Dr. Dossey feared that because Mr.
Bennett believed he was dying from a curse that traditional medicine wouldn’t
work on him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So he and a colleague pretended
to do a voodoo ceremony to undo the hex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mr Bennett watched as the doctors lit a small fire, took a lock of his
hair and began an incantation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They told
him that curse was now removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Dr.
Dossey went to check on his patient the next morning, he was sitting up in bed,
eating breakfast - completely recovered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So did the doctors perform the ceremony correctly or is this just a case
of the power of belief?<o:p></o:p></div>

Often people feel as though they’re cursed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martha Gooden lost both parents to cancer in
her 20s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her first husband abused her.
Her store went out of business during the recession. Martha believed she was
cursed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her therapist told her she
wasn’t cursed but was living from a victim mentality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martha trained her mind to believe she was a
magnet for happiness not a victim of bad luck. She heard about a grant program
for people hit by the recession and returned to school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today she’s a nurse and is happily married.
If you feel you’re a victim, the universe will treat you that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But if you believe in yourself, the power of
your words, the universe will treat you accordingly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Curses are real if you believe in them, but if
you choose to believe in the power of YOU, the universe will reward you with a
positive life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If
your child is intuitive, you probably already know it. Intuitive children often have night
terrors. They complain of seeing scary
things in their room at night such as shadow people, the “smelly man” or “hat
man.” They will feel instinctively comfortable with some people and instantly
shy or cautious around others. Intuitive
children tend to be creative, empathic, and gentle. They are connected to nature and
animals. Your child might talk about
seeing lights or colors around people.
They might have dreams that later come true or see deceased family
members. For many parents, this is all
very scary. However, there are some
concrete steps you can take right now to help your intuitive child embrace
these gifts and use them when they’re ready to help make the world a better
place.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) Validate Your Child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s very important to believe your child
when he says something scary is in the room or she tells you that the man next
door gives her the creeps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kids need to
know that you’re a safe place to turn to when they experience these intuitive
insights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t tell them it’s their
imagination or they were just dreaming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Listen to them and validate their concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Wow, that was a scary dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Could you draw it for me and we can talk
about it?” Or try saying, “I used to see scary things in my room when I was a
child too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would you like to try
sleeping with a night light?” Encourage your child to keep a dream journal to
write or draw in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tell them that this is
all a normal part of growing up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one
thing kids are afraid of is feeling or being different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So make sure they know that their feelings,
visions and dreams are perfectly normal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) Empower Your Child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When we’re scared, we feel powerless. If your child is experiencing
night terrors or seeing scary things in their room at night, help them to feel
less afraid by giving them so control over the situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can<a href="https://samanthafey.com/product/crystal-clear-aura-spray/" target="_blank"> buy </a>or make a
protective spray to clear the room of negativity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simply add lavender, sage, frankincense, and
myrrh essential oils to a bottle of water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Add a pinch of salt and have your child spray the room at night when
they’re feeling afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lavender is
calming, sage is protective and frankincense and myrrh are ancient oils of
protection and healing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can give
your child a protective statue that resonates with your belief system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Archangel Michael is very protective for
children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can give your child a
nightlight or flashlight to use when they’re scared. <o:p></o:p></div>

3) Teach Your Child Grounding Techniques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sensitive children are constantly picking up
the emotions of others around them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
can leave them feeling a bit spacey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When they learn to ground their energy, they will have more control over
their own feelings and emotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make
sure your child gets to play outside at least 20 minutes a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Encourage them to walk around the house
barefooted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ask them to help you plant a
garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure they drink plenty of
water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Put a plant or a fish bowl in
their room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plants and fish are
wonderful at absorbing excess energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
water fountain in the bedroom can be very soothing at night too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the best ways for a child to ground
and cleanse their energy are to jump and twirl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So have your child do jumping jacks, get out on the trampoline, twirl
and dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Karate is also a great
extracurricular activity for intuitive children because it teaches them
grounding and focusing techniques.<o:p></o:p></div>

4) Teach Your Child About Colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The power of colors is immensely helpful to
an intuitive person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Black absorbs
negativity; pink encourages love and happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yellow inspires confidence and a sunny disposition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Green is healing while blue is calming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>White is the color of protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can do fun exercises with your child to
help them learn to work with colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
the way to school, have them imagine jumping into a white fluffy cloud. Tell
them that this color will protect them throughout the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they have a test at school, have them
imagine standing in the center of the sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Have them breathe in the warm, golden yellow color and tell them that
this will give them the confidence needed to excel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If a classmate is being a bit mean, have your
child imagine wrapping that friend in pink cotton candy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will calm their friend’s energy down and
help them to be nicer.<o:p></o:p></div>

We’ve used them for years in computer chips, radios and watches. They are used in lasers, optics, ultrasound systems, televisions and much more. But you can also use crystals in your own life to assist you with love, goals, healing, abundance, and psychic powers. There are several crystals you can turn to that will help you open your psychic abilities. Once we’re tuned into our intuitive self, life seems to flow better. We find ourselves making positive decisions, understanding people around us better and following that still, small voice inside of us to a happier life.<br /><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Labradorite.</b> This deeply mystical stone is very protective. It shields us from taking on other people’s “stuff” while lifting our energetic vibrations so we can receive messages from our guides on the other side. It brings more light into your aura, seals any holes in your energetic fields, and gently opens the third eye. It helps to eradicate fears connected to opening up to our psychic abilities. It’s a great stone for empaths as it protects you from taking on the emotions of others. Place on your third eye while meditating and wear as a pendant.<br /><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Azurite</b>. This vibrant blue stone opens psychic abilities and develops one’s intuition. It cleanses the third eye and releases deeply imbedded blockages to developing your gifts such as past life blocks, fears of what other people will think and religious fears. Azurite also works to clear worry and fear replacing it instead with a feeling of calm and gentle self-expression. Wear as a ring or bracelet on your right hand, position over the third eye or wear as a pendant.<br /><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Shattuckite</b>. This highly spiritual stone awakens the third eye and throat chakra thus stimulating our clairvoyance and clairaudience.

The host Anna Sale interviewed a mom of 2 autistic sons. The mom explained how when she met, fell in love and married her husband, she had her whole life planned out. Now she feels saddened and trapped by her overwhelming care taking responsibilities. She has turned away from her faith and describes herself as an enthusiastic atheist. When she talks about her sons and her worries for their future, you can still hear her love for these children. She and her husband have remained strong throughout. But she kept focusing on how she had imagined her life and how different the reality is. <br />
<br />
I felt so much compassion and empathy for her. We all start our life with so many plans, goals, dreams, hopes and expectations. When I married my husband and began my teaching career, I was so stinking happy. And then when I became a mom, I thought life couldn't get any better. I thought I had figured life out. All you had to do was set goals, dream big and work hard to achieve them. I think I even felt a little smug.<br />
<br />
And then that horrible criminal tried so hard to kill my husband. I've often thought how that one, small hollow point bullet changed so many lives. When I was sitting in the hospital in what I call ICU hell, my sister said to me one day, "This is your before and after moment. Your life will never be the same again."<br />
<br />
I've got to be honest. I kind of resented her for saying that because I knew it was true and I didn't want to face it. <br />
<br />
And I bet if you think about it, you have your own "before and after" moment too. It could be a death, an injury, an illness, a divorce, a job loss, a difficult move. One of the main issues I help my clients deal with is surrendering to their new normal. This is so hard to do because we want to hold on to that picture of how it's "supposed to be." <br />
<br />
I met a client who I'll call Sue. She is 64 years old and spent much of the last 12 years taking care of her mom who dealt with Alzheimers. In that 12 years, she sold her house to move in with her mom and eventually lost her full time job because she had to take so much time off to care for her mom. Now that her mom has passed away, Sue is dealing with the shock of her mom's will. Sue was promised her mom's house which she felt was fair considering what she gave up to help her mother in her final years. But when the will was read, she learned that the mom had split everything 50/50 with her brother. I can understand this too. Moms like to be fair. But I get Sue's anger and shock too. She had planned on spending her retirement years in a house that was paid off, traveling and volunteering at the hospital. Now, she has to sell her mom's house or somehow come up with $120,000 to give her brother for his half. The house is for sale. Sue is looking to rent a small apartment and is actively job seeking. She has turned her back on her brother and is refusing to speak to him. Sue is stuck in anger.<br />
<br />
I have another client I'll call Jeff. He's 34 and works in pharmaceutical sales. He has two daughters -- ages 2 and 4. Last year, his wife announced that she was leaving him for her high school boyfriend and moving with the girls back home -- all the way across the country. He spent his life's savings on attorneys trying to fight this to no avail. Now he flies to his ex-wife's town once a month, sometimes less if he can't afford the plane ticket, and has to settle for seeing his kids for an afternoon or two while he returns to a lonely Holiday Inn before flying home. He's looking for a job closer to his kids. Jeff has not attempted dating anyone since the divorce and has lost his zest for work and his love of surfing. Jeff is stuck in sadness.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when we hit our "before and after" moment, we stay stuck for awhile in what I call a perpetual temper tantrum. I did this for years after my husband was shot. I knew he had a brain injury and yet every time it reared its ugly head, I would respond with anger. Then I would cry. Then I would call my friends and yell and cry to them. Lucky friends. Finally one of my friends said to me, "Are you the victim here or is your husband?" Whoa. That stopped me in my tracks. <br />
<br />
Two things got me out of that stuck place:<br />
<br />
1) I realized that life very often sucks for no reason at all. Period. I had to stop overthinking my new life and just accept it.<br />
<br />
2) I was giving all my power to my anger and sadness. I had to let go of my picture of the perfect life I'd planned for myself and find the perfect joy that exists in the reality of my new life. <br />
<br />
So there you have it. That's my big solution. I know it's not mind blowing or magic but trust me it works. SURRENDER your idea of how your life is supposed to look. Give that shit up. Seriously. Walk away from that. This perfect plan you have for your life is like that pair of skinny jeans you wore when you were 18. You know - the ones that still mock you when you walk into your closet. Throw those evil things away. And get rid of your "plan." The beauty of life is that we have no control, literally no control, over what happens to us. What we DO have control over is how we respond to what happens to us.<br />
<br />
ACCEPT your new normal and move forward with your life. Jeff emailed me before the holidays. He is interviewing this week for 2 jobs close to his daughters. He's super psyched because both positions pay more and he's kind of excited about making a new start in his life. Jeff is moving away from his sadness. Sue is still pissed at her brother so nothing is changing for her. She found a dead end job she hates and spent the holidays alone. I really hope she accepts her new life and takes some of the money from the sale of the house to travel and reward herself so she can start to move away from her righteous anger.<br />
<br />
Once I surrendered and accepted my new life which was so different from what I had planned, I started to see how I'd grown in really cool ways through this experience. I never, ever would have found the courage to leave my safe teaching job and embrace my intuitive abilities if this hadn't occurred. And because of that realization, I'm almost grateful this happened to us. Once I realized all of this, my husband started to shift and change and improve in amazing ways. Maybe he always was healing and I didn't see it. He found a job he really enjoys. He's learned how to truly live in the present moment, and he gets to be home to help me raise our children. When he was a police officer, he had to work every single holiday. Now, he's home with us, and my girls get to see their dad all the time. <br />
<br />
If you're stuck in a "before and after" moment, ask yourself these questions:<br />
<br />
1) <b>What would happen if I accepted this situation and stopped fighting it? </b><i>For example, Jeff felt that if he accepted this situation, it was almost like he was letting his ex-wife get away with something. Once he surrendered to that, he saw this terrible change as an opportunity to advance his career and make a fresh start in a new state.</i><br />
2) <b>What are some positive things in this situation? </b><i>For example, Sue should find huge comfort knowing she helped her mom's last years be ones of safety and peace. She also is now completely free of all care taking responsibilities and can do whatever she wants with her life now.</i><br />
3) <b>What have I learned and how have I grown despite and because of this situation?</b> <i>I hope Jeff has learned how devoted he is as a father. And I pray that Sue sees how empowered she became as a result of being her mom's care advocate.</i><br />
<br />
Once you surrender and accept your life the way it is, you will see miracles take place in your world and the life you're meant to lead will start to form before your eyes.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5rZG_BHOzcdYHmRw3YY5WDrXKEd-wh97jvj4MAn1CgLzA_lILnlTUpdhVwNeD9bxbYQ3aN0lgSPYObTNTV39P5GLU4kP9iJy2Y_xzvIr5cwtkIK-cFwj6Ctnxu6B6Ov3B4x2193Nbr3-/s1600/elf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq5rZG_BHOzcdYHmRw3YY5WDrXKEd-wh97jvj4MAn1CgLzA_lILnlTUpdhVwNeD9bxbYQ3aN0lgSPYObTNTV39P5GLU4kP9iJy2Y_xzvIr5cwtkIK-cFwj6Ctnxu6B6Ov3B4x2193Nbr3-/s200/elf.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
I'm sure you've all heard of the Christmas Elf -- that creepy little guy that Santa sends to keep an eye on kids. The one we parents have to move every night. Well, in my girls' school we've also adopted The Pumpkin Elf. You know how it is -- once one family starts, well, you kind of have to as well or else your kid feels left out. So . . . . we started the Pumpkin Elf tradition a few years ago and to be honest it's too much. I keep forgetting to move the darn thing.<br />
<br />
Last night, my 9 year old came to me and said, "Mom, is the Pumpkin Elf real?"<br />
<br />
I did my best to look shocked. <br />
<br />
"Yes, of course."<br />
<br />
She stared at me in that way kids have when they appear to be looking into your soul. <br />
<br />
I blinked and smiled.<br />
<br />
"Well," she said. "I don't think he's real. I don't believe in magic anymore."<br />
<br />
Twist the knife in my heart a little more why don't you? Being a parent is wonderful and fulfilling and blah, blah, blah but it's also heartbreaking watching your children grow up, to witness them letting go of everything that makes them a child of wonder and to be powerless to stop it. Because, really, I can't stop it. I'm grateful that she's growing up. Still, it breaks me a little inside to think of her saying those words, "I don't believe in magic anymore."<br />
<br />
I want my children to believe in magic - -ALWAYS. <br />
<br />
I want them to see the magic in a tiny acorn that will miraculously grow into an oak tree.<br />
<br />
To feel the powerful message in a rainbow after a scary storm.<br />
<br />
To understand the magic that makes pressure and stress turn a piece of coal into a dazzling diamond and to believe that this can happen to them too.<br />
<br />
To believe in the magical immortality of our soul.<br />
<br />
In the magical help and support of our guides and angels.<br />
<br />
To believe in the magic of their own imagination.<br />
<br />
The eternity of their soul.<br />
<br />
I don't want my kids to believe in Harry Potter and eye-of-newt magic necessarily, but I do want them to believe in the magic that is all around us and inside us.<br />
<br />
Last weekend, we passed a homeless man and his dog begging and my daughter asked me to turn around and give that man and his dog money. That is magical. We were on our way to a day of shopping and she thought of this poor man and his dog.<br />
<br />
This morning getting ready for school, my girls were fighting -- as usual -- and one of them said, "Guys, chill out. It's almost Friday."<br />
<br />
And they did.<br />
<br />
How magical is that??<br />
<br />
I want them to see that magic is inside of them and if they can just believe in that -- even for a moment each day -- they will be miracle workers, magicians if you will.<br />
<br />
The Pumpkin Elf, The Christmas Elf, Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy -- yes they are all fake. But I like to think that when we parents act for these imaginary beings that we are breathing life into this idea of magic, of hope and possibility. <br />
<br />
I still believe in magic. I believe it's in me and you and all of us. I believe it's what connects us all and makes life worth living. Shel Silverstein in his lovely poem below says we have to make our own magic. When I first read this poem as a little girl, it made me sad. I wanted magic to be what I thought it was when I was young - glittering, instant, sparkling and easy. But as I've grown up, I think he's got a point. We have to make our own magic and we have to recognize it in others too. <br />

<br /></div>
For those of you who listen to my weekly podcast -- <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/psychicteachers/2014/01/06/vision-boards-and-goal-books">Psychic Teachers</a> -- you probably have heard me talk about my snack bags. Every night - in lieu of meditation -- I decorate my daughters' snack bags for school with a fun drawing and an uplifting message. I do this usually by myself late at night after the kids have gone to bed. It's soothing for me, it provides my anxious brain with a quiet outlet, and lets my mind drift to where it needs to go. As I'm drawing and coloring, I am breathing deeply, thinking about my day and talking to God. It's very comforting. I don't think I'm a great artist by any stretch of the imagination, and I am incredibly shy about sharing my work. But so many of you have emailed me asking to see these darn snack bags, that I've finally decided to share some of the ones I've done lately. I hope you like them, and I hope it helps you to know that in order to connect with ourselves, our higher power and inner voice, we don't have to sit in the lotus position "om"ing ourselves into oblivion. Every time you are doing something that brings you joy and provides you with a break in your day, you are meditating. I have friends who meditate while they are baking, exercising, writing, walking their dog and working on their car. I hope this post inspires you to share more of what you love with the world too!<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9RRGvyX_cKg/UpKjBu3tRlI/AAAAAAAAfMc/Zhsm7ZZAqjc/s1600/destiny.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9RRGvyX_cKg/UpKjBu3tRlI/AAAAAAAAfMc/Zhsm7ZZAqjc/s200/destiny.jpeg" width="133" /></a></div>
I just finished reading a book called <u>Directing Your Destiny</u> by Jennifer Grace. She's a former actress who has turned Shakespeare's famous saying "all the world's a stage; and all the men and women merely players" into a manifesting manifesto. Grace, who calls herself an Executive Dream Producer, works to help people discover their passions and realize their dreams. She believes that we all sit in the director's chair of our very own movie and most of us aren't directing anything. We're just existing and allowing life to happen to us. She says we need to happen to life. We need to put on our director's hat and start making things happen. In keeping with the movie theme, her book tells us how to write your own screenplay, produce it and direct it. <br />
<br />
Because she's an actress, her book teaches the reader how to act as if the dream has already happened. Her affirmations are a tad different from most. Rather than, for example, affirming "The right love enters my life right now," she says to add the feeling you'll have when the dream happens. So she suggests affirming, "I feel so happy that the right love enters my life right now." And "I am so relieved that I have paid off all my bills so easily." Or "I feel thrilled that I am now working my own hours and helping people by doing what I love." She's a proponent of the "feel it real" law of attraction secret. You have to be emotionally connected to what you're trying to manifest.<br />
<br />
Grace is an advocate of first getting to know yourself before you can know what you want to manifest in your life. Her book encourages journaling, meditation and something she calls future self-writing where you write letters to your future self. <br />
<br />
She encourages people to ask three questions with their manifesting goals -- WHAT, HOW and WHEN. What is your goal? How will you accomplish it? When will you achieve it?<br />
<br />
She also writes about how we need to overcome fear, try new things and ask for help in order to achieve our wildest dreams. She shares a lot of her own stories -- about how she went from divorced mom to in-love and from out-of-work actress to metaphysical teacher and speaker. <br />
<br />
While there is nothing new in this book that students of manifesting can learn, her approach is different and fun. It's easy to think about our life in terms of a movie and it's fun to spend time script writing the way we want our life to go. She ends her book by reminding us "you are powerful beyond all measure. This is your life; this is your movie. You get to decide how it ends."<br />
<br />
That's a great reminder for us all.<br />
<br />
Happy Reading!The Crystal Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792978355800430689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741098403793658422.post-86478040042047401252013-10-15T07:30:00.001-07:002015-10-15T06:08:00.537-07:00Crystals For HappinessIn almost all my readings this month, I've come across people who are feeling a bit lost, disconnected and sad. If you've watched the news, you'll see that so many people are feeling angry and powerless. We've had bizarre and tragic accounts in the news -- the Navy Yard Shooting, the mother who drove through the barriers in DC and was killed, the man who drove to a court house in Virginia and just began randomly shooting. The government's inability to get along at all is very frustrating, and I think many of us are feeling as though our parents (i.e the Republicans and Democrats) are divorcing. I am praying for a resolution to this government shutdown, and I am visualizing pink and gold light around our planet -- pink for love and gold for protection. Still, we're facing a lunar eclipse on the 18th and Mercury Retrograde on October 21st. The energy is shifting as I'm sure many of you lightworkers are well aware. To help us keep our energy upbeat and positive through this change, I've compiled a list of the best crystals to bring joy and happiness into your life.<br />

Rose Quartz: Rose Quartz is a stone of love and peace. It fosters self-love and helps you to release shame, guilt and regret. It absorbs anger. Wearing rose quartz will protect you from other people's anger. It will also help you to learn how to love and appreciate yourself and see the good in others. Rose Quartz is highly recommended for teenagers, especially young girls, going through changes because it helps them to blossom into adults with healthy self-esteem. If two people are fighting at work, give them each a piece of rose quartz or place it in an area near their desks. It will help calm their emotions and see the other's point of view. Cleanse rose quartz frequently because it will take on a lot of negativity for you. You can bury it in a bowl of salt, rice or soil. You can also place it on a large amethyst, carnelian or quartz cluster to cleanse and charge it as well.The Crystal Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792978355800430689noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741098403793658422.post-14943827554906686172013-10-01T13:53:00.000-07:002013-10-01T13:53:55.509-07:00Are You an Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow Soul?Copy and Paste this link in your browser to find out!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
In Latin, “salvare” means to heal and salvia – the species
name for sage – is a direct divination.
Sage heals. Throughout
history, sage has been used in ceremonies and for medicinal purposes. Sage is found in the Russian steppes
and throughout Western North America.
It’s incredibly adaptable and can survive temperature extremes and
periods of drought. Sage has been
used to cure night sweats, hot flashes, and headaches. The Navajo, in addition to using Sage
in ceremonies, used it to cure headaches and fever. They made infusions of the leaves to cure intestinal worms
in their sheep and goats. They
applied hot poultices on the leaves to relieve migraines. The “49ers” made sage poultices to help
heal gunshot wounds. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is placed in medicine bags to protect sacred items. Before entering a sweatlodge, sage is
used to purify the body. During
the sacred Sun Dance, dancers wear sage wristlets and anklets for protection
and purification. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can use sage in your own life to enhance your energy,
cleanse your space and invite protection.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every person, rock, plant, animal and home has an auric
field which can attract and capture negativity. If this energy is not cleansed, it can create illness and
depression. Our aura extends
around our physical body and is constantly receiving information. When we are around negative, angry
people or in homes and stores that have witnessed arguing, yelling and sadness,
our aura absorbs this energy like a sponge. Just as we need to clean our body once a day, we also need
to clean our energetic body.
Smudging yourself with sage allows you to do this quickly and efficiently. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can find smudge sticks and loose sage on line or in
metaphysical stores. They are
inexpensive and easy to use. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To begin smudging yourself, light the smudge stick and usher
the smoke around your body. Start
at your head and brush down and away, constantly flicking and motioning the
negative energy to the floor.
Called aura brushing, you can simply motion the smoke down around your
head, arms, chest and legs. Ask a
friend to help you smudge your back – again being mindful to brush the smoke
down to the ground where mother earth can absorb and heal the energy. Alternately, you can place the sage in
a burn proof bowl and allow the smoke to grow heavy and thick. Stand over the bowl and perform the
aura brushing technique described above.
Turn around in a clockwise direction to ensure the smoke encompasses all
parts of your energy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To smudge someone else, you will need to find where their
aura begins. Some people have
large auras – they project and push their energy out while others have very
small auras, preferring to remain hidden and keep their energy tucked in. The average person’s aura extends about
six inches from their physical body. To determine the boundary of someone’s aura, rub your hands
together to awaken and activate your hand chakras. Position your hands about two feet away from their body,
palms facing out. When you touch
their aura, you will feel either a temperature change or an invisible barrier
pushing against your palms.
Sometimes you might feel a pressure or stickiness. Other times, you’ll feel a
heaviness. Either way, the air
will feel different when you hit the auric boundary. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, light your smudge stick and fan the smoke around the
person’s auric border moving in a clockwise direction. Begin at their head and moving
clockwise motion the smoke down and around their body. Ask them to turn around and do the same
thing to their back and sides.
Then begin to spiral inward, closer and closer toward the person’s physical
body as the energy feels cleaner and lighter. Once the aura feels cleared, focus on the chakras. Starting at the root chakra, motion the
sage smoke toward this energy center moving up to each chakra finishing at the
crown chakra. When this is done,
ask how they feel. They might feel
a heaviness in one spot, so focus there and motion your sage smoke toward it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When these steps are completed, take a large feather (most
metaphysical stores sell turkey feathers but any feather will do) and use the
feather to move smoke down the body.
Then, beginning at the feet, motion the feather up and around your
body. This will fluff up and air
out your aura ensuring that your energy is completely cleansed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Depression feels like a blanket, a weight on the soul. Anti-depressants, a healthy diet,
exercise and therapy can help. But
this sage technique is also a great mood lifter. Plus, it’s free and completely natural! Go into a small room
like a bathroom. Crack a
window. Fill a small heat proof
bowl with loose sage leaves and light them. Allow the smoke to filter up and around you. Spend these moments sending up prayers
for happiness, health and protection.
Repeat, “I am ready and willing to release my sadness. I allow into my
space only that which enlightens and uplifts me.” Ask your angels and guides to take away your sadness and
help you feel better, happier and ready to release this depression. When the sage leaves are completely
burned down, open the window wide and safely dispose of the sage ashes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sweetgrass – sometimes called Vanilla Grass – has a lighter,
sweeter energy than sage. It’s
used to seal in the good energy and invite more happiness and positive energy
into your life. Grown in the
Plains area of the United States (Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas), Sweet
Grass is relatively inexpensive and easy to find. After you’ve completed saging yourself, burn some sweet
grass to lock in the good energy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our home is a reflection of us. If our home is messy and chaotic, then inside we’re feeling
messy and chaotic. If our home
needs lots of improvements, it symbolizes the improvements you still need to do
on yourself. If your home looks
uninviting, then you’re telling the universe and all its gifts to stay
away. When I am asked to cleanse a
person’s home, I am so often shocked to see that they have bushes and shrubbery
growing past the windows. Or they
keep all their drapes and blinds closed – during the day! Not only is this really bad Feng Shui, but
think about what message you are sending.
“I don’t care about my house.
I don’t want you to see in or come in. Stay away.” To
ensure positive energy in your home, keep it cleaned and organized. Get rid of clutter and
accumulations. Do you really need
that stamp collection? Do you
really think your kids will fight over your collection of Hummel figurines? Do you really need 54 pictures of the
family cluttering up your counter tops and shelves? Probably not. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Invite the light in.
Open the blinds and drapes.
Curtains should be replaced every five years and washed at least once a
year. Clean your blinds of dust
and open them to let the light in.
Before smudging your home, say a small prayer. Invite your angels and guides to assist you. Call on Arch Angel Michael to usher out
any negative entities or energy.
Light your sage stick or loose sage leaves in a heat proof bowl. Allow it to burn until a good, thick
smoke emerges. Fan the flames out
with your feather so you’re left with smoke. You want to work with smoldering smoke, not fire. If you’re having difficulty getting the
smudge stick to burn, crush the end of the smudge stick to let air inside. Once you’ve got a good smoke
established, begin at your front door and proceed around each room in a
clockwise direction. Motion the smoke around the windows and doors saying, “I
seal this home in love and light.”
Fan the smoke into the corners and over the furniture saying, “I break
up and dispel all negativity. Only peace, health, wealth, love, happiness and
joy can abide here.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everything has energy.
Everything. The energy of depression,
anxiety, stress, arguments and harsh words lingers. Since it’s lower level energy, it tends to hide in crevices
and corners. So make sure to
motion the smoke into all your closets and storage spaces too. Don’t forget to smudge bathrooms, the
attic and the garage. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you’re done saging, safely stamp out your sage
stick. I usually leave mine in the
sink for the rest of the day just to be safe. Then open several windows allowing the negative energy to be
ushered out. Thank your guides and
angels for their help. Wait about
an hour and then close the windows.
You can now burn sweetgrass to seal in the good energy. I also like to light a candle to invite
more light into my home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your work environment needs to be
cleansed too, but chances are your boss won’t approve of you burning a sage
stick. So instead purchase or make
your own sage spray. I make a sage
cleansing spray that I sell on my website called Crystal Clear. I use Holy Water from my church
and add sage, lavender, cedar, frankincense and myrhh. I also use dried sage and lavender and
sprinkle cleansing crystals into the bottle such as carnelian and clear
quartz. Spritz your office daily
with this spray to absorb negativity, stress and anxiety. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We attract into our life a reflection of what’s going on
inside of us. So if you’re feeling
sad, angry or restricted because
of your weight, health, job, or past relationships, then you will attract
someone into your life who is also sad or angry. If you had an issue with one
of your parents, you will also attract a person with the same issue into your
life so you can continue to heal that relationship. Let’s say, for example, that your father abandoned you. This means that you could attract a
partner who is afraid of commitment.
If your mother was angry and always yelling, you might attract a partner
with a terrible temper. So before you focus on attracting new love into your
life, it’s important to do some good work on yourself first. Once you’ve
accomplished these tasks, you’re ready to attract the right love into your
life!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) THE LIST</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is an old, tried and true, method that really works IF
you give it the time and attention it deserves. Take out a piece of paper and write on it, “My New Love Is:”
and then write a list of everything you want in your partner. List all the
physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and personality traits that are
important to you. Be very careful
with your list because it works. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you’re done, hang it up in a place where you’ll see it
often – the bathroom mirror or refrigerator -- are good options. Then every morning and every evening
read the list affirming in your heart that you’re bringing new love into your
life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) CRYSTAL LOVE GRID</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Create a crystal grid to attract love into your life. Simply write an affirmation on a piece
of paper such as “the right love comes to me right now” and place a rose quartz
on top of that. It’s best if this
center stone is a pyramid or obelisk shaped stone so that it send the energy of
your affirmation up into the universe.
Surround this center stone with pink stones (any variety will do) in a
heart shape. Keep this grid out
where you can see it every day knowing and affirming that you are attracting
your new love into your life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re in a new relationship and you’re hopeful it will
grow into something more, write an affirmation such as “my relationship grows
in love, respect, passion and commitment every day” and place it under a
plant. Place a pink stone in the
plant and every time you look at the plant affirm to yourself that your new
relationship is growing in love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) LETTING GO OF THE PAST</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to invite in new love, you must let go of old
relationships. The emotions of
anger, resentment, guilt and mistrust are very powerful, and they set up
barriers in our auric field that tell potential new partners “stay away.” In
addition to therapy and good friends, there are some great metaphysical
techniques you can use to let go of a painful past relationship once and for
all. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For starters, gather up everything your ex gave you –
letters, gifts, cards. If none of
it is meaningful or valuable to you, then donate the gifts and throw away the
letters. If you’d like to hold on to these things because they have sentimental
value, then box it up and tie it with a black ribbon. Black is grounding and protective.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, write a letter to your ex. This is a letter he/she will never see, so really pour your
heart into the letter. Get out all
your regrets, dashed hopes, anger, guilt and sadness. Once you’re done, you can
either rip up the letter, bury it, or safely burn it in an oven proof bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4) ACCEPTING LOVE INTO YOUR LIFE</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best way to attract new love into you life is by loving
yourself. Do something fun for
yourself every day – whether it’s running a hot bath, treating yourself to a
manicure or coffee with a friend – make sure you are focusing on being kind to
yourself. When you catch yourself
being self-critical, say, “cancel, cancel” and think of something great about
yourself. Learn to accept
compliments. Be gentle to your soul.
Feel positive about your future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if you’re single and looking for love, open your heart to
new experiences. Expect, no,
demand happiness and soon you’ll be celebrating with a new love by your side.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I peeked out the window and saw a stunned baby bird. He wasn't moving. At all. He seemed to be stuck to the center of our driveway. I watched as a mama bird and a papa bird took turns caring for him. One would watch the baby while the other flew to get a worm. The baby would flap its wings and gratefully eat the worm, but it was not moving. I knew he'd fallen out of the mockingbird nest in our tree. My heart broke for this little guy. I quickly sent up prayers to Saint Francis of Assisi and finished making pancakes. My daughters had friends sleeping over, and I didn't want to make a big deal of this or else I'd have a lot of tears to contend with. Still, I watched as the parents continued to protect and feed their stunned little Mockingbird baby. <br />
<br />
We finished our pancakes, and I sent the kids upstairs to play. I cleaned up the kitchen -- all the while keeping an eye on the little bird. This went on for over an hour. Finally, I smiled in relief as I watched the bird hop to a bush right underneath the tree where his home was. Thank God, I thought. He will soon fly and be just fine.<br />
<br />
I got dressed and took the kids outside to play. Our 6 year old neighbor was already outside. "Hi Miss Samantha!" He called out. "Want to see what your cat did do a baby bird?"<br />
<br />
My heart almost stopped. I walked over to my little neighbor and looked in horror as he showed me the dead baby bird. My cat was purring on our front steps looking as content as, well, a chesire cat. <br />
<br />
Even though I was terribly sad for that little bird and for his parents who were still shrieking and flying back and forth, in my heart I held no judgement or bitterness toward my cat. I love that big guy. He's tough as nails but inside he has a huge heart. He has three best friends -- all of them are black cats. I call them the Black Cat Club. They hang out in my yard, and when it's raining, in my garage. Every day. It's the neatest thing. I've never known cats to have friends. This cat of ours has always let my girls dress him up, push him in a stroller and carry him around room to room wrapped in a baby blanket. I love my cat. <br />
<br />
And suddenly I had an epiphany. What if this is how God feels about us? What if He sees beneath our failings and sins to the good heart that lies buried beneath? What if when someone commits a murder, God grieves with us for the victim but still loves the murderer because He knows the true heart of the killer? Is this possible? Is that a glimmer of what unconditional love is?<br />
<br />
<i>The Course in Miracles</i> taught me the importance of seeing God in everyone. This message is also the theme of one of my favorite books <i>Return From Tomorrow</i> by George Ritchie. I try to see God in everyone, but sometimes it's so hard. That case out of Cleveland, Ohio where that man kept those three girls imprisoned for over a decade -- how am I to see God in him? And yet, here's what the Course in Miracles says about that: "Sin has no place in Heaven. And therein lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him IS Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven is lost to you. But see him as he is, and what is yours shines from him to you." It goes on to say, "Vision or judgement is your choice, but never both of these."<br />
<br />
We have to choose. And so I choose to see the good in my cat while recognizing the good in that brave baby bird as well. So maybe I can try to see the good in what I would judge to be evil people. Everyone has dark and light in them. Most of us, thankfully, choose to focus on our light. But for those who focus on the dark and commit dark deeds, wouldn't it help if we found their spark of light inside of them and shined it right back at them? If we choose, as the Course in Miracles suggests, to see the vision of potential in all people rather than judgement for who they are now, wouldn't that change the world? I'm not saying these people shouldn't be punished -- far from it. I'm saying that we need to focus not so much on what <i>they</i> did but on how <i>we</i> react to it. We are only capable of two emotions -- love and fear. If we keep acting out of fear, how will the world be shaped by love?<br />
<br />
<br />The Crystal Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792978355800430689noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741098403793658422.post-35667039150749111782013-04-28T17:34:00.002-07:002013-04-28T17:34:43.119-07:00What Do Number Sequences Mean?We see numbers everywhere -- on license plates, store receipts, addresses, clocks -- and sometimes we see the same number sequences over and over. I have a friend who wakes up most nights at 2:22 am. Once, I kept seeing 777 everywhere. I remember twice at stores my total came to $7.77 People are afraid of the number sequence 666 for the obvious biblical reasons. This holiday season, I was behind a woman and her item rang up to $6.66, so she quickly grabbed another item from the aisle and added it to her purchase just so her receipt wouldn't say 666. Numbers have power. Numbers carry messages. Numbers are energy. But what exactly do they mean?<br />
<br />
We all have a team around us of supporters and helpers. This team includes our spirit guides, angels and loved ones on the other side. They aren't able to appear to us. We can't hear them. Most can't even sense when they're around. But they are able to communicate with us. They can have thoughts "pop" into our heads. They can have moments of inspiration or meaning come to us in dreams. They can encourage our friends and family to make suggestions that will help us in our search for love, jobs and health. They can also talk to us through numbers. I believe that the meaning behind these numbers is known to us on a subconscious level and that even though consciously we might not get it, our guides know our subconscious has received the message. Still, it's nice for our conscience self to know what the heck these numbers mean. The following is a brief overview of what numerologists have agreed is the meaning behind these numbers. A word of caution though -- you always know what's best for you. If you keep seeing a number sequence and you feel it means one thing, but this list below tells you different -- please go by your intuition. It will never fail you. <br />
<br />
Okay, so here it is -- the key behind all those number sequences. Use it to help you decode messages you're receiving and remember when communicating with your guide to always say, "thank you" when the message has been received. It makes future communications stronger and easier.<br />
<br />
111 -- New cycle in life. Any changes you're thinking of making in life are good. A big opportunity is opening up for you. What you're thinking of you will manifest, so watch your thoughts carefully.<br />
<br />
222 -- You are the right path! Can also indicate issues regarding a relationship healing. Your new ideas are beginning to take shape. Keep working on positive thoughts and actions and good things will start to begin for you.<br />
<br />
333 - The Universe is saying yes to your goals. It's time to take action and make them happen. Your guides and angels are with you now.<br />
<br />
444 -- The Universe is saying no or not now. It's time to go within and seek a new way. It's time to release worries and surrender your stress to God.<br />
<br />
555 -- A life changing event may have occurred or is about to. It's time for you to change and make some big changes too. <br />
<br />
666 -- Slow down. Take time to clear your thoughts and take care of yourself. It's time to practice extreme self-care. Indicates that you are out of balance. Turn your thoughts to spiritual endeavors.<br />
<br />
777 - You've been learning important lessons. Seeing this number sequence is your guide's way of saying, "Bravo! Congratulations!" You've been seeking and now you're in the discovery process. <br />
<br />
888 - Something in your life is coming to a logical end. Remember that all endings lead to new beginnings. Seeing 888 indicates that a light at the end of the tunnel is imminent. Hang in there!<br />
<br />
999 - Completion. Seeing this number sequence signifies a big phase of your life is coming to an end. A lot of people will see this number sequence during a divorce proceeding or when you're retiring from a career.<br />
<br />
000 - Unity with the universe. See this number combination means you're at one with the cycle of life. It can be a sign that a situation has come full circle. Enjoy this happy time. Feeling at one with God. <br />
<br />
Use this knowledge to help you figure out different number sequences. If, for example, you're seeing 1,2,4 -- it means a big opportunity is opening up, it's time to manifest your new ideas but don't worry about how you'll accomplish this. Release your worries to the universe and your goals will become reality. If you're seeing 5,7,8 that could mean you've just been through a big change (5), you've handled it really well (7), so hang in there because it's almost over (8). If you always wake up at 3:43 am, that means the universe is saying yes (3) to your goals, so don't worry (4) and know that your angels and guides are with you (3). <br />
<br />
See? It's easy once you put the puzzle pieces together. Try this in your own life and I promise you'll never look at numbers the same.<br />

A's vibrate to the number 1. Examples include Mary, Jane, Sandra and Gary. A's are natural born leaders. They like to be number 1. They are ambitious, hardworking and
very self-critical. They need to
be in charge, and they need to be told they’re doing a good job – often. Positive reinforcement is a great way
to handle A energy. If you are
working on a project with an A energy, let them take the lead. It will be easier, trust me. It’s not worth it to compete with an
A. They play to win. If you compliment an A, they
will do amazing work. If you criticize
an A, they will rebel strongly. </div>

If you meet someone who’s first vowel in their name is E

conforming. The best way to

to work on their own. They love
change, travel and shaking things up. If there's drama at the work place, you can be sure E is at the center of it. The negative side of E is that some of them like to start trouble and tend to be gossipy. </div>

In numerology, when a Y is between two consonants, it’s
considered a vowel. Examples of
Y’s include Gwyneth, Lynn, Tyrone, and Myra. Y’s are the seekers of the group. They like to work alone and need lots of solitude to
recharge their batteries. Y’s have
strong opinions about issues and won’t easily change their mind. Y’s don’t like to reveal too much about
themselves. They tend to be
secretive and hold grudges for long periods of time. Y’s love nature, especially the ocean. They are very intelligent and can
easily hold their own in arguments.
Y’s are very intuitive and are often spiritual. If Y’s don’t have faith in a higher
power, they will feel lost and disconnected. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So now you have a quick and easy way to know how to handle
the people you encounter. If the
first vowel in their name is an A, you know they need to take charge. They make great leaders and tend to be very successful. E’s need freedom,
adventure, change and the chance to work on their own. I’s make great bosses and are happiest
when their job is helping others.
O’s are the parents. They
love to care take and nurture everyone else. They make good bosses, entrepreneurs, and business
owners. U’s are funny, fun-loving
and creative. Just stay clear of
them when they’re in a bad mood. Y’s are quiet, intelligent and prefer to work
alone. They like to keep their
private life private but inside they tend to be deep thinkers and spiritual
seekers. </div>

The ancient Greeks used polished Obsidian as a scrying tool to see into the future. Known to be a very protective stone, Obsidian blocks psychic attack and protects the wearer from harmful intentions by others. It creates a shield around your aura. <br />
<br />
When worn, Obsidian reveals old patterns and energetic blocks. It helps the wearer to discover the reason behind an illness. It reveals aspects of your personality that need to be changed. <br />
<br />
Wearing or meditating with Obsidian will help you regain your power, your confidence, your sense of self. It helps you to face your shadow side and recover your truth as you transform negative aspects and beliefs about who you are.<br />
<br />
There are many types of Obsidian such as:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Mahogany Obsidian: This is a stone of personal acceptance and strength and helps us to maintain true to our convictions.<br />
<br />
Rainbow Obsidian: This is a stone of great love. It cuts through energetic cords that have bound two people inappropriately. Meditating with the stone teaches you to be open to love again. It increases your self-esteem and reminds you that you deserve love and joy.<br />
<br />
Snowflake Obsidian: This is a stone of gentle healing. It gently brings things to the surface that we've long suppressed but need to face again. The white markings remind us that even in the darkest of times there is always a spark of white light piercing through the darkness and showing us the way to a happier path.<br />
<br />
Apache Tear: This hardworking stone helps the wearer to work through periods of grief and sorrow. Apache Tears offer hope, love and support during the most difficult times. <br />
<br />
Blue Obsidian: This stone is especially recommended for psychics and sensitives as it offers distinctive protection against negative psychic energy. It helps with all types of communication and is known as a stone of Tarot as it helps tarot readers read with clarity. It aids astral travel and enhances telepathy. Because it helps one to seek and find clarity in a situation, it's also recommended for those suffering from memory loss or alzheimer's.<br />

"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be." I find comfort in his belief that hope can give birth to anger and courage. Anger can be a great motivating source. Imagine if Ghandi never got angry at the way things were in India? What if the Founding Fathers never got mad they were taxed without representation? Anger can often get us to change things, to make a difference in our life, to shake things up. Sometimes we have to get really angry before we can see how far off our spiritual path we've wandered. And that's okay too.<br />
<br />
Where anger becomes a problem is when we find it difficult to move through that emotion to the next one -- courage to make the changes required by the thing we're mad about. I know someone whose husband divorced her for another woman, actually a friend of hers. It was 1982. He was an investment banker, so she received a generous alimony that she would continue to receive until she remarried. So just to stick it to him, she never remarried. She's 67 now, lives alone and still receives that monthly alimony check. Her ex is still happily married to the woman he left her for. Hmm, so did she really stick it to him? How is that anger serving her? <br />
<br />
I have a client whom I'll call Jan. She and her five sisters were raised by an angry father who only got angrier during drunken rages. Twelve years ago, he entered AA, straightened up his life and apologized to his whole family. Everyone accepted his apology except my client Jan. Now she's mad at her sisters for sharing the holidays with their dad and so she gets to spend the holidays alone. How is her anger serving her?<br />
<br />
There are several members of my family -- too many to count -- who get ridiculously angry over politics. However, unless they choose to start petitions, write editorials or run for office themselves, how is that anger serving them? All it does is raise their blood pressure. <br />
<br />
If you're feeling angry about someone or something in your life, analyze that anger. Often what we're really angry at is our lack of control over the situation. I remember reading a research article that said 90% of people don't cry due to sadness but rather frustration because they have no control over the situation. You might be angry because you've allowed a situation to go on for too long. You might be angry because people have treated you badly. Unfairness is common root of anger. Look at your anger and then ask yourself, "Is this anger serving me or am I serving it?" Look at the ways in which you are feeding your anger. How often do you think about the situation or person you're angry with? How often do you talk about it with friends? <br />
<br />
Anger isn't all bad. Anger is empowering. It reminds us that we have a right to feel our feelings. Anger gets us moving and changing our lives. Where anger is bad is when we choose to stay stuck there. Ask yourself if you're staying stuck with anger in a part of your life. Is there an old boss you're still mad at? Do you have unresolved anger with a parent or sibling? Do you still hold resentment toward an ex? And then there's the big question: are you mad at yourself? <br />
<br />
Once you can recognize the source of your anger, try sending love to yourself and the person or situation involved. Just picture waves of pink and white light braiding around the two of you wrapping you in healing energy. Ask God to heal the situation for you affirming that you are open to looking at this situation or person in a new light. Repeat to yourself, "I am willing to release the need to feel angry."<br />
<br />
Once you drop the anger, you'll feel so much healthier and lighter. It's the best diet out there!The Crystal Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792978355800430689noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741098403793658422.post-4328148347673301702013-01-13T17:35:00.001-08:002015-10-15T06:20:43.937-07:00Crystal of the Week: Angelite<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Angelite is a great stone to meditate with if you're trying to connect with your guardian angel. Often referred to as the Stone of Angels or the Stone of Peace, it helps eliminate fear, anxiety and worry. Spiritually, Angelite helps to convert anger, remorse and regret into healing. Because of its beautiful robin egg's blue color, Angelite is a throat chakra stone that will help you gently but firmly speak your truth. Wearing or carrying Angelite will help you bring in the energy of angels and your spirit guides.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Angelite increases clairvoyance and clairaudience. <br />
<br />
With its gentle and loving vibration, it helps repel cruelty from others and acts a stone of psychic protection. If you have to be around a negative person, try giving them a piece of Angelite because it will increase their sense of compassion and empathy. If you're working on forgiveness, Angelite is a great stone to carry with you as its calming energy will help you move through the healing process with serenity and grace.<br />
<br />
It's a great stone for healers because it helps to raise one's vibrations, it increases one's compassion and yet it provides the protection that healers need when working with another's energy.<br />
<br />
Working with Angelite helps to alleviate unnecessary suffering.<br />
<br />
If you are separated from a loved one, you should each carry a piece of Angelite to strengthen your connection as it's known to enhance telepathy.<br />
<br />
Many intuitives have had success with astral travel using Angelite. <br />
<br />
Please make note that Angelite can never be near water. With a hardiness of just 3.5, it scratches easily and is ruined by water. To cleanse your Angelite, simply place it in a bowl of sage or rice.<br />

I wonder how true that statement is for many of you reading this. As a little girl, I'm told I was quite the diva. Precocious is how my father described me while my mother claims I was a girl who always knew what she wanted. But my dad wanted to be successful and climb that corporate ladder, so he whenever he got a promotion or a better job offer, off we'd move. Between kindergarten and 8th grade, I attended four different schools. I had many mean teachers throughout my educational career who planted one fear in me: Speaking in front of people. This one fear held me back in many ways throughout the oncoming years.<br />
<br />
When I got to high school, I came out of my shell a little. But even there I only tried out for the school newspaper. Writing and reading were two places that I felt safe. Even though all my friends were either cheerleaders or field hockey players, I refused to try out. It was just too scary. When I got to college, I joined a sorority and when, a year later, the graduating officers asked me to run for president, I was flattered. But I said no. The president of my sorority had to travel for two major events and give speeches in front of hundreds of people. There was no way I could do that.<br />
<br />
At my sister's rehearsal dinner, I was told by my older sister that as the maid of honor I had to give a speech. Huh? I had no idea. I got up, tinkled my glass and then stumbled through a terrible speech with a shaky voice that ended with my crying, "I love you Courtney." Then my older sister stood up and unrolled a scroll on which she'd written a poem. She read it perfectly, smoothly making eye contact with everyone. That poem was later framed and still hangs above my sister's mantel. I never gave another speech at a wedding again -- maid of honor or not. <br />
<br />
Do you see what I'm getting at? Our fears hold us back. Fear is that little voice in your head that whispers, "You can't do it." "Who do you think you are anyway?" "Everyone will laugh at you." If I had to draw a picture of fear, I would paint handcuffs because that's what fear does. It chains us down, keeps us stuck.<br />
<br />
The night before the start of my junior year of college, I couldn't sleep. My advisor had been pressuring me to declare a major. I'd started out as an art major, but I was scared by how much better everyone else was. I switched to journalism, but after a summer internship at a TV station in Hartford, CT, I decided that tract was way too boring for me. Finally, at 3 am, I woke up my dad and said, "Dad, I have to declare a major tomorrow and I don't know what to be." He rubbed his eyes and said, "What's your favorite subject?" I didn't have to think about that. "History," I said. "Then major in that. Now go back to bed."<br />
<br />
So I did and I loved it. I loved every single history class and teacher I had, and it soon became clear that the only career I could pursue with a history major was teaching. I was terrified of becoming a teacher, but I was terrified of not becoming a teacher too. Studying and teaching history were all I wanted to do. I remember my first day of teaching. I had gum in my mouth and I was so nervous that it dissolved in my mouth. Gone. I can still remember every student's name from that first semester and every single lesson plan I taught. I would write and re-write my lesson plans over and over until I had memorized them and then I would teach it to whoever around me would listen. By the time I got to class the next day, I didn't even need notes. The first week of school I threw up most mornings. I always got sick before the twice yearly teacher evaluations. But by the end of that first year, I knew one thing: I was a good teacher. By the end of the second year, I learned that I was a good speaker. <br />
<br />
Having to face my fear and speak in front of people and deal with all sorts of new situations has taught me that fear is the enemy not the imaginary thing you're afraid of. And trust me, I've had to face many scary situations in the classroom. I've had my very own stalker. I've taught three men who were admitted murderers and two who committed murder while they were my students. I've taught strippers, homeless people, drug addicts, angry students, depressed ones, and happy ones. And you know what? They all taught me something. That's the thing about facing your fears. Once you do, you grow and learn and reach new heights that were before unimaginable. <br />
<br />
When my dear friend George passed away at the tender age of 27 from colon cancer, I was asked to read something at his memorial. He was a special man, loved by many, so his memorial was held at Kenan Auditorium where several hundred people gathered to say goodbye. When it was my turn to get up and read, I wasn't even nervous. I had already faced my fear. Hundreds of times. I am still to this day so happy that I had already faced my biggest fear and could honor my friend in this way.<br />
<br />
When my husband was shot in the line of duty, and I learned that city would only pay his salary for 21 days, I stood in front of city council and demanded one year's salary for all first responders. Yes, I did cry a little, but my voice didn't shake. I made clear, concise points and the council changed the law to 12 months full pay. <br />
<br />
Facing my fear has changed my life. The old me could never have imagined hosting a weekly radio show, teaching workshops and classes and giving people advice on how to find and embrace their soul purpose. <br />
<br />
Recognize your fear. Say it aloud. Talk about it. Then commit to doing one thing a month that forces you to face that fear. Let's say you're recently divorced and you're afraid of dating again. Sign up for a new class. Join a writing group. Tell a friend or two you're ready to start dating. If you've decided to return to the work force after years of staying home and find yourself afraid of facing a new work environment, take a computer class. Volunteer for an organization that's similar to your specialty. In short, take action. Fear hates action. When it sees you taking action, it slowly withers and dies. Make a commitment this year to kill your fear. Decide that this year at least one of your fears will be done away with. Talk about it. Share it with supportive friends. Take action. And see the wonderful changes that take place in your life.The Crystal Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09792978355800430689noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741098403793658422.post-10597902253827387342013-01-06T16:43:00.000-08:002015-10-15T06:22:27.345-07:00Crystal of the Week: Peridot<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

a very protective stone and will help protect you from taking on the emotions
of any negative or angry people around you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The yellow in the stone increases your confidence and the
green opens your heart to grow in love, so the combination helps shield you

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If
you know someone who deals with fluctuating moods, give them a piece of Peridot
because it will help them to balance their moods and feel calmer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Newly purchased crystals take about two
weeks to work with your energy, so it’s best to wear or carry the crystal with
you wherever you go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ve
been around a lot of negative people or feel a bit negative yourself, be sure
to cleanse the crystal by holding it under running water and intending all the
negativity the stone has absorbed for you to run down the drain away from the
stone and you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

stone is best for people who are feeling stuck and need to move forward in

we’re here – and gives us the courage we need to fulfill that purpose.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

First discovered in India in 1988, this bright blue stone is an amazingly hard worker. Called the "Stone of the Spiritual Healer," Cavansite will shield the healer during sessions. It assists those working with Reiki and other spiritually healing modalities. It can be used to ask that a disease or illness in remission does not return. It's a great stone to teach acceptance and is known to help children accept any disabilities they may be facing.<br />
<br />
When used with meditation, Cavansite will help stimulate astral travel and past life recall. When placed on the third eye, it will enhance clairvoyance. When placed on the throat, it will enhance clairaudiance.<br />
<br />
Psychologically, this stone brings joy as it works to increase one's endorphins.<br />
<br />
It's a great stone for mediums as it encourages one to step aside and speak spiritual truths without any self-doubt. <br />
<br />
Because of its beautiful blue color, it's connected to the throat chakra and communication making it a wonderful stone for writers and teachers.<br />
<br />
As a stone of spiritual guidance and healing, Cavansite assists one who is breaking through to the next level of their spiritual development. It helps connect us with our guides and teachers. Working with the heart, it aids clear, honest communication.<br />
<br />
Emotionally, Cavansite increases our optimism and happiness. It sparkles just like the night stars reminding us that we do have a divine light deep within us and that's its our right and our true purpose to shine on and share our light.
