The crystals I am working with for this week are Petrified Wood, Tiger’s Eye, Smoky Quartz, African Turquoise, and Desert Rose. 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. 

Petrified Wood – Good for grounding and stabilizing emotions. Calms survival-based fears. It helps one be practical. A stone of business success. Petrified wood is a good stone for general protection. Physically, it is used to heal bones, backaches, skin and hair. Petrified wood is also used for past life regressions because of its inherent link with the past.

Tiger’s Eye – A stone of protection that is also very stabilizing and grounding. It enhances integrity, willpower, self-confidence, practicality and correct use of power. Boosts personal power. It is a stone that enhances good luck, and brings prosperity, often in the form of money. A very protective stone which is especially protective during travel. 

Smoky Quartz – A protective and grounding stone. It brings physical and psychic protection. It is also an excellent stone for protection from negative energy, as it removes negativity and negative energy of any kind and transforms it into positive energy. Enhances survival instincts, and can help one reach personal and business goals. 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. It brings creativity to life. Brings wisdom. Is 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. It is a helpful stone for enhancing and encouraging courage and inner strength. It is very comforting and calming, and can be considered a stone of serenity. Helpful to relieve grief. Used to treat many different problems associated with the lower torso including kidneys, abdomen, pancreas, reproductive organs, menstrual cramps, fertility issues. 

African Turquoise – The ‘Stone of Evolution’, brings encouragement for growth, development and positive change. Opens the mind to new ideas, new possibilities and new existence. It is a stone that brings structure, balance and prosperity. A stone that hands over a key to new life with its offerings. This is a stone that awakens the soul to its intended purpose, encouraging the being to make positive impression while gaining and giving positive wisdom.

Desert Rose – A stone of the mind, as well as an Angelic stone. It is said to bring mental ability and clarity, as well as perception of all kinds, including intuitive perception. Is used in healing to quiet worries and still the mind from distractions and disruptions. Said to be helpful for the spine and the skeleton in general, and for proper alignment of the spine. 

There is a very common theme for this week. Stay grounded and practical. Try to remain calm and not worry, as you are protected. You will survive this week, and there is prosperity to come. We are continuing to learn and grow, learning how to overcome obstacles and remain positive. Learning how to quiet our mind and open it to new possibilities. Keep working on being positive, especially when things get tough. Turn those negatives into positives. Keep your mind clear, calm and open at work, and you will be very successful. It’s funny because I have been suffering from back, hip and leg pain lately, and I feel a bit better today. I do not doubt these crystals are here to heal, any stomach or back issues you may have been experiencing lately. Let’s see which cards hold the message for this week.

The cards are telling me we are definitely protected. We are not alone. We are always protected by our Angels, Guides, Spirits and many other types of beings. The signs are around us always. It’s funny, I just put up a blog post earlier today about appreciating and tuning into guidance we receive, and here are the cards telling us again to ask for signs and watch for them. The cards are telling us to connect with our Angels, Guides and Spirits, by expressing ourselves and asking for signs to guide us. When you connect in this way you experience more and more signs, and become more connected to the universe. We are part of a collective whole, here to help evolve Planet Earth. Notice the two depictions of the stars and sky, the one Angel has her head down, but if she looked up to the universe she would see the signs, and know she is not alone. Keep your head up. Express yourself in healthy ways to mitigate stress and clear your mind this week. Try to express yourself instead of keeping emotions bottled up. This could mean speaking your mind from a place of positive emotion, but also can be working out, meditating, doing something creative, spending time alone or with others. There are many like-minded people out there for you to connect with. Whatever you feel you need to do to express yourself and release emotions. Expression is about taking back your personal power, and knowing that nobody can take this from you. Remember whenever you are feeling down this week, that there are ways to turn your feelings around, and you truly are never alone. There is always a balance, life can’t always be perfect. There may be tough moments, but there are good ones too! You can manifest them quicker by seeing the positive in negative situations, by recognizing the lessons. This is how we evolve. You will see the rewards and should be very lucky this week! Watch for the signs! 

Expression – This card guides you to speak your mind. After all, that’s one of the reasons you are here on this Earth. For so long, people have not spoken up for themselves. As a result, humanity has lived under the tyrannical control of those with power. Now is the time for change, and you are one of the spiritual warriors in charge of initiating that shift. Always speak your mind, but also be aware of how others react to you. Ask the Angels to guide you to communicate in ways that allow you to be heard. If you can express yourself in a manner people can relate to, your concerns and opinions will be much better received. 

You Are Not Alone – As you grow older, you’ll realize that no one on this planet truly knows what he or she is doing – we all just get by as best we can. This card reminds you that you’ve got plenty of help and companionship available to you. Never before have so many people come into a lifetime with the shared Divine purpose of rewriting the script for daily human life. Your mission is so very important, and there are literally millions of other people in this world having very similar experiences. Ask the Angels to help guide you to like-minded people who can relate to you. It will soon become apparent to you that you are an integral part of one of the most significant movements in human history. 

Ask For A Sign – If you’re feeling stuck or confused, then you need a sign to point you in the best direction. Signs are some of the most interactive and consistent messages the Angels can bring. When you regularly ask for them, you’re shown constant reminders that you’re on the right path, and receive clear guidance to help keep you there. You may feel disconnected from other people and wonder why you can’t relate to them. Ask the Angels to show you a plain and recognizable sign that your wish/purpose/dream/hope/desire is relevant and possible, and to let you know the next step to take. You will be very pleased with the outcome, as Heaven will validate and guide you clearly. All you have to do is ask!
