The crystals I am working with for the week are Dioptase, Ruby on Matrix and Peacock Ore. 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 crystal to you.

Dioptase – Encourages compassion and forgiveness. Encourages you to be aware of the abundance and richness in your life. Helps you to live in the moment, and access past life memories. It will help you more forward if you’ve been feeling stuck, by helping you let go of the past. Help you to find your freedom. Helps you release the things that hold you back from living a full life. Helps you let go of undesirable emotions, such as anger, jealousy and hatred. Powerful for those overcoming abuse or trauma.

Ruby on Matrix – Helps you find new paths in life and gives you the energy you need to walk them. Helps to transform one’s life to a more desirable state. Useful when we need some help to find a new path, a new approach, or in any quest to gain that which we desire but do not yet possess. Helps you to realize love within yourself and express emotion.

Peacock Ore – Enhances inner knowing, strengthens perception and helps you trust what you see. It is also a protective stone, good for many kinds of protection, including protection from illness.

When I look at these crystals.. the energy I feel is… rough. Things have been cold, hard and tough…. dull and dreary. It’s the people who can see beneath the surface and appreciate the little things, that see the gems hidden with the hard rock. There is beauty and abundance within all the hard times we experience. There is always an unseen gift or benefit. Finding ways to look at the bright side is how we shift our perspective. The Ruby is no less a Ruby, just because it is stuck within the rock… it is still beautiful Ruby.. waiting to be uncovered and appreciated. Have compassion for yourself for everything that isn’t seemingly going “right”, and instead, choose to focus on everything that is. Recognize how truly beautiful you are, and what a gift it is to walk on this Earth. I have been watching One Strange Rock on Netflix, and I always love a good reminder of what an extraordinary gift it is for us to be alive and experiencing this reality. Make sure you don’t waste it. Find your freedom and experience everything you can. Live your life to the fullest, as much as you possibly can. This isn’t about doing extravagant things, it’s about appreciating this moment right now, whatever you are doing. How can you make the best of it? We are still working through our past traumas, and we are almost there… we can sense the freedom. Keep letting go of the past and seeing yourself as being healed. Forgive yourself. You can’t afford to hold yourself back anymore. There is so much more to life, that is longing for you. You have so many wonderful things to accomplish and experience. The Ruby on Matrix is giving you energy and helping you to recognize all the new paths that lay ahead. It is helping us to transform our lives into a more desirable state… and the key to that is to truly love ourselves… to see what you truly deserve. To love our lives and all that we are so blessed to experience. Trust in yourself and what is right for you, and make your way to that reality. It’s been tough, but we are getting there. Spring is on the way and that is sure to bring a burst of vitality! No matter what is going on for you, try to make the best of it. Let’s see what the cards say.

I know I say it every week.. but these cards are so perfect. DNA is all about creation.. about life, death and rebirth. It’s about the never ending cycle of life that we are blessed to be a part of during this time. Every thing you do matters. Every choice you make has a repercussion. Yes, the weight of that is quite heavy… I immediately think of everywhere I have gone wrong in my life. You can hang on to the past and focus on what went wrong, but it’s never going to change anything, and it takes away from the joy of this moment. You have a choice to make a change. What are you missing when you look at those experiences? Yes, I’ve had a lot of hard times in my life.. but in the grand scheme of things.. they have brought me to who I am today. My struggles have blessed my life and allowed me to seek my Spirituality, which has changed my life so incredibly much for the better. There is so many positives. Focus on them. It’s ok to forgive myself for not knowing better, and to allow myself to heal that wound. When you can integrate the lesson, and the see positive aspect, that’s where you can unlock healing and forgiveness. That’s when you understand the full circle and see the big picture. God doesn’t want us to live here in misery. Life is a gift… open it and embrace it. Let the old you die away, and rebirth into your full power. The Change in Direction Card is so cute.. it wants us to look at life from a newborn perspective. See things in ways you didn’t before. Allow your heart to be open to love and life. The stork is showing you the map of all the pathways…. they are endless… and the beauty is that YOU get to decide what it is you want. This life is what you make of it. Follow your heart and happiness, treat yourself like a child and allow yourself to feel joy. I know my readings are all about positivity… and people hate hearing that all the time. I understand we need to embrace all of our emotions.. but the more we can focus on what’s positive, the more we can shift our perspective, and affect the karma we put out into the world. God wants us to embrace positivity as much as we can. What does it help to insist on wading in negativity? The less we focus on the negative; the more positive we see. Six of Winter is confirming that positive changes are on the way! We are going to feel relief from the stress we have been experiencing lately. Here in Canada, warmer temps are finally on the way, and after this last month of extreme cold, I think we are all ready for some warmer weather. Get out there and appreciate where you live. Appreciate Mother Earth. Appreciate how your body serves you. Appreciate how your mind co-creates this reality. The challenging times are going to fade away, into a sunnier horizon and happier shores. Leave the troubles behind and look to the future with

wild abandon. It’s going to be amazing.
