Spiritual Support for Your New Story

Support for Your New Path

In yesterday's post, I asked you which story your life will tell next and gave you suggestions for how to connect to the story that is waiting to be told (or expressed) in your life.

Here are support and resources for writing your new story & creating your new path...

Aromatherapy 

(1) Clary Sage: strengthens intuition for vision and dream guidance and increases euphoria

(2) Rose: for letting go of fear

(3) Bergamot: increases self-love and self-acceptance

(4) Grapefruit: helps you let go of negative patterns and offers emotional clearing & cleansing

Crystals 

Selenite: for angelic inspiration and connection

Unakite: to get right to the heart of the matter and help you heal whatever might be in your way

Tomorrow, we are moving on to look at ways to create spiritual practice that supports your new intention and path.

Have a great day!

Deepening the Connection with Your Inner Guide: Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy for Deepening the Connection with Your Inner Guide

Yesterday, I suggested several crystals you can use to deepen the sense of connection you feel in your developing relationship with your inner guide. They also can be used to deepen your sense of spiritual connection, in general.

Now let's look at ways to use aromatherapy to do the same thing...

Aromatherapy 

Rose oil – powerful conduit for feelings of loving connection. Also, a very nurturing, comforting oil. Genuine rose oil is pricey but worth the investment.

Petitgrain – promotes loving and harmonious relationships.

German chamomile – increases your receptivity to intuitive guidance, promotes honest communication and increases psychic ability.

Neroli – increases direct connection to intuitive guidance.

Frankincense – increases spiritual wisdom and deepens your connection with the divine.

Jasmine – will help you understand deeper truth.

Have a great day!

Deepening the Connection with Your Inner Guide: Crystals

Deepening the Connection with Your Inner Guide

Last week, I suggested the importance of having an inner guide for this heroic journey to answer the call to create a deeper spiritual practice. We talked about how to connect with your guide here and here.

This week, I have ways you can deepen and strengthen that connection, starting today, with crystals.

Resources for Deepening the Connection with Your Inner Guide…

Now that you have begun the relationship with your inner guide, here are some resources to help you sustain that connection or deepen it even further using crystals. Check back tomorrow and each day this week for other resources you can use.

Crystals 

Rose Quartz – holding a rose quartz crystal or even placing it nearby may help to increase your perception of love and tenderness.

Selenite – if you have been thinking of your guide as angelic, this is a great crystal to use because it generates angelic frequency so may draw angels near.

Aragonite – heightens spiritual communication

Fire Agate – is grounding and will deepen your sense of connection to earth energies.

Have a great day!

Intuitive Guidance: Preparing for the Full Moon

Intuitive Guidance

During this phase of the moon, leading up to the full moon later this week, you may want to focus your time and intention on intuitive guidance. Finding out anything else that needs to be folded into your full moon work. What still needs tweaking? Or a dose of deep healing?

Intuitive Reading

"We all desire to know where our footsteps will fall next, long for the assurance that decisions we have made are for the very best and yearn to know that things will get better. When we connect with intuitive guidance, we are connecting with the divine flow of universal energy." ~~Lucy Cavendish

Having someone give you an intuitive reading or doing one for yourself is a great way to find out what you need to know. After journaling about whatever the reading tells you, consider how to use that information during the full moon later this week.

You also may want to prepare in advance, by creating a healing crystal elixir or a crystal layout.

Dreamwork

Another great way to ask for guidance is to request it of your dreams. Place a pen and notepad or journal near your bed tonight and just as you are drifting off to sleep, ask to dream about anything else that needs healing, or needs to be included in your full moon work this week.

When you wake up, write down anything you remember about your dreams, even if you only remember a tidbit or two. Tell your dreams to yourself in story form, and after writing it all out, notice the words you used to describe what happened.

Are there any metaphors or descriptive phrases or sentences you used that in the light of day might mean more than they did during your dream?

For instance, if, in your dream, you fell asleep while at work, is there an area of your life in which you are sleeping on the job? Or if in the dream, something that happened made you worry about how you would get to the ______ (whatever), is there a fear that you won't be able to get where you need to go in your waking life?

Take the insights you develop from your dream analysis and use them in your full moon work this week.

Have a great day!

The Waxing Gibbous Moon

The Waxing Gibbous Moon

Today is a good day to continue doing First Quarter Moon work, so if you created a crystal layout, keep it going. And I often split my first quarter work into two days of ritual, so I lessen the intensity for each day but still am actively involved in the healing work for both days.

Tomorrow is the day to begin doing the work of the waxing gibbous moon phase, but since I am taking weekends off, I thought I'd share it with you today.

During the Waxing Gibbous Moon Phase, the moon is half full. And so is the energy available to us. This is a great time to access intuitive guidance about what else needs to be a part of your work this month.

Are there any issues you forgot that could get in your way? Or that you are, as yet, unaware of, that intuitive guidance could reveal? Any memories that need to be healed so you can completely let them go? Pay attention to your dreams and keep your journal handy.

Have a great weekend!

Creating a Crystal Layout

Using Your Crystal Elixir

This post is a sort of part two, connected to my post about creating a new moon ritual. In that post, I tell you how to create a crystal elixir to use as part of your new moon ritual.

Once you've created it, for the next couple of days in the new moon phase, continue to use the moon-and-crystal-charged elixir you created. Splash it on your self, anoint your wrists, heart space, third eye.

Crystal elixirs are very powerful, so you should notice a difference in the way you feel each time you use it.

Should you drink it? Some people do, and if you are planning to do that, I would keep it in the refrigerator. But I also would have run the crystals in hot water before using them to create the crystal elixir. I, personally, don't drink them. But that's up to you!

Creating a Crystal Grid or Crystal Layout

And, if you want, use those charged crystals (from the elixir) in a layout that also will empower your intention. If you can place it near a window (or outside?), where it will catch the moonlight for the next few days, even better.

(An abundance layout I created)

How you create the layout might depend on what your intention is. A circle, with a clear quartz crystal in the middle is always good. But if your intention was to attract love into your life, you might create a heart, instead. If it’s money, maybe a dollar sign or an infinity sign.

Once you’ve created the layout, you can place your written intention under the center crystal or keep it on your windowsill if you’d prefer.

Have a wonderful day!

New Moon Ritual

Welcome to the New Moon

This phase is the one for creating something new! For setting your intention and consecrating it by offering it to the new moon.

Crystal Elixir 

What I often do is create a crystal elixir designed to empower my intention. For instance, when it’s time to work on letting go, I use a base of crystals that are good for letting go (like apache tears, smoky quartz, black tourmaline, danburite, etc.) and then add crystals specific to what it is I am letting go of that month. If I am working on adding something or my intention is to empower something, I use crystals related to that issue.
 

One month, I created a Goddess Love elixir that I still have on my altar. I also sometimes I create a smudge spray made with the same basic potion and then I use that to clear the air whenever that is needed.

If you decide to make a crystal power potion, you want to create it the day before you will use it, so you can leave it on the windowsill overnight to charge it.

How to Make a Crystal Elixir

(1) Start with identifying the crystals that correspond to your intention, gather them together, along with a double-terminated clear quartz crystal to supercharge the potion, and place them in the glass you plan to use.

(2) Pour filtered water into the glass, and charge it with reiki symbols, your wand, a prayer, etc.

(3) Place the glass on your windowsill, cover it with a paper towel and let it sit overnight to soak up the moon’s light and/or energy.

(4)The next day, pour the moon-and-crystal-charged water into the container you want to keep it in and label it, so you’ll remember what’s in there. Sometimes I will keep put one of the crystals in the container, often the clear quartz crystal.

New Moon Ritual

This ritual can be quick and simple: you splash some of the water on your hands, clasp your hands together and state your intention. Or more elaborate...

(1) Clear the energy with a smudge spray or a crystal wand.

(2) Light a candle while thinking about your intention.

(3) State your intention. You also can say a prayer for your intention and call in any "outside" help you'd like to include.

(4) Anoint yourself with the water. Start with your heart space and your third eye and then, anywhere you feel led to anoint.

(5) Hold some of those crystals in your hand and visualize your intention coming to life.

(6) Use a healing technique or pray to heal anything that needs to heal in order for it to manifest.

(7) Close with a statement of faith that what you want is being created already and is on its way to you.

(8) Blow out the candle.

(9) Clear the energy again.

What about music? Tomorrow, I'll talk about adding music to your ritual and then, we can look at crystal layouts to extend the healing and magic of the ritual.

Have you chosen your new moon intention yet?

See you tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day!
