The crystals I am working with for today are Garnet, Smoky Quartz and Hematite. I use these crystals to connect to your energy, to connect to the message meant for you, and to send the healing properties of the crystals to you. 

Garnet – A stone of regeneration and energizing. Boosts and revitalizes energy. A protective stone. Excellent for manifestation. It is used to ground one’s dreams in reality, bringing abundance, prosperity, and realization of those dreams. Builds one’s self-confidence, inspiration, and creativity. Considered a stone of increasing commitment, honesty, hope, and faith. It is a stone of positive thoughts which is said to relieve depression. 

Smoky Quartz – A protective and grounding stone. Removes negativity and negative energy of any kind and transforms them to positive energy. It is also used in assisting in making wishes come true by grounding their essence in reality. Thus, it is a stone that brings abundance, prosperity, and good luck. Assists with creativity. Excellent for elevating moods, overcoming negative emotions, and relieving depression. Relieves stress, fear, jealousy, anger and other negative emotions by transforming them into positive energies. Helpful for dealing with grief. 

Hematite – Helps absorb negative energy and calms in times of stress or worry. A protective stone and very grounding. Hematite is also good for working with the Root Chakra, helping to transform negative energies into a more positive vibration. 

When I was choosing these crystals, I really thought they were very different, but in researching their properties it’s amazing to see how they carry such similar messages. The crystals are telling me that we are still in need of protection from stress, worry and depression. We need to continue working on turning our negative thoughts and actions into positive ones. We are manifesting at a very fast rate, especially with the new moon that just passed, and again, the crystals tell me that abundance and prosperity is right around the corner, but we need to keep positive. We need to hold on to faith and hope, and know in our heart that our dreams will come true. Anybody grieving today will benefit from the energy of the smoky Quartz. Let’s see which card will get drawn for today. 

Well, what is the best way to fight off stress and depression… Play! Have some fun! It’s the best way to feel good and stay positive. Yesterday, we were encouraged to get out of the house and have some fun. The message continues today. Yes, you probably have a lot of stuff you should be doing and working on. Try not to worry about that stuff. For today, just relax, have fun, laugh and enjoy your weekend. Lift your energy by allowing your inner child to have some fun and play. This is the way to finding balance in your life, so you can get back to your obligations feeling reenergized. When you are in a positive and happy space, you attract more of that in your life, and the card and crystals remind us that we can manifest much more quickly when living in a joyful state. We always worry about everyone else enjoying life and having fun, we need to remember that we are just as deserving as anyone else, and we deserve fun and happiness too. Let go of your obligations today and have some fun!

Play – The Angels see that you need to play, so they sent you this card. You’ve been working and worrying a lot lately, and your soul cries out for fun. Feelings of fatigue, irritability, or depression are additional signs that you’re overdue for some playtime. You don’t need to wait until you have a free moment, because you can inject fun into your day today. Simple pleasures, moments of silliness, laughing with a friend, or watching a funny movie are examples of ways to have fun that don’t require a lot of time or money. Fun and play are necessary parts of life for children and adults. These types of activities help us live healthier lives, and allow us to attain our desires more quickly. Fun is part of living a balanced life. Additional meanings for this card: Stop what you’re doing and go have fun right now. Release any guilt about having fun to the angels. You deserve happiness, pleasure, and enjoyment. Make sure that your recreational activities are purely fun and non-competitive.
