The crystals I am working with for the week are Tigers Eye, Tiger Iron, and Hawks Eye. I use these crystals to connect to the energy, to connect to the message meant for everyone who reads this, and to send you the healing energy of the crystals.

Tigers Eye – A stone of protection that is also stabilizing and grounding. It enhances integrity, willpower, self-confidence, practicality and correct use of power. It is a stone that enhances good luck, and brings prosperity, often in the form of money. It can also help one see clearly without illusion.

Tiger Iron – A stone of clarity, particularly clarity of knowledge, enabling one to see the truth below the apparent surface of issues. Tiger Iron also helps with creative endeavors and all types of artistic abilities. It is used to bring strength, vitality, confidence, willpower, and balance. It is an excellent stone for people wishing to bring more motivation to their lives. A stone of good luck.

Hawks Eye – Also known as Blue Tigers Eye. High vibe, yet grounded. Enhances connection to personal power and strengthens resolve. Gives insight to help with mental clarity, honesty, and resolve issues. Helps to gain perspective. Reduces stress and attracts abundance.

This is a powerful time of change that is upon us. Heading into this eclipse season, it feels like all bets are off and things are going to get shaken up. While this can seem very scary, there is also lots of excitement, possibility, and opportunities… it’s definitely not going to be all bad, but it’s probably going to be tough at times. We are going to have to rely on our strength and personal power. We have to embody strength like a Tiger, and keep our vision clear and perspective high, like the Hawk. We don’t know exactly where we are going.. what would be the fun in that! For now, we need to stand strong in our power, trying to maintain faith and optimism, and keep putting the work in towards our dreams, goals, and desires. Everything happens for a reason, I truly believe that. We can’t skip forward, we have to see each moment through to gain the lessons and insight we need, even, and especially the tough moments. Sometimes we need to live through those moments, to feel inspired to make changes. Spirit wants us to know that we are protected. Our Spirit Guides are with us, and our Ancestors are watching over us, sending us their love and support. They love seeing you make positive changes in your life, and they feel so proud when they see you living your life with integrity. They love seeing us believe in our beautiful dreams and chase them. They love seeing us feel happy. They add to our karmic bonus points when they see us choosing to use our power for the good of others. See your life clearly, without illusion. See the truth of who you are.. believe how worthy you are. It doesn’t matter who is impressed by you or not, what matters is how you feel about yourself. Are you living your life to your full potential? Do you see how important you are to the Divine plan? If not, it’s time to gain the perspective you need. We need to see the truth behind our issues. What are they trying to teach you or show you? Is there change you have been resisting? Do you need to be stepping further into your personal power? The truth will set you free. Believe in your ability to handle life and have confidence. Focus on your own strength and vitality. If you have been feeling like you don’t have the energy to chase your desires, then ask yourself what needs to change? How can you have more energy and time to dedicate to the things that light you up? If I could sum up the theme of these times right now in one phrase, it would be “personal power”. We have talked about it a lot lately and will continue to be. That’s what this is all about. Taking back our own inherent worth and standing for what is right. Changing the trajectory of our future. Being mindful of our time on Earth and how we can use it to the fullest and enjoy it. Figuring out how we can be happier and lighter. We have all the insight and wisdom we need. We can resolve our issues so they become a thing of the past. We are deserving. Know your worth and power. Let go of the stress so you can stay positive and optimistic. Keep yourself aligned and contributing to good karma, and you will see the beauty, benefits and rewards. Let’s see what the cards have to add!

Why? Why do things have to happen the way they do? Everything happens for a Divine reason. We can use the question of why to help us gain clarity and perspective on our issues. Why are we feeling the way we feel? What is bringing us down in life? We have power in knowing the why… why we make the choices we do, why we feel the way we do, why things are happening the way they are, etc. There is wisdom and insight within the why. Get clear on why you are doing things in your life. This will help you take back your personal power and gain more of it. It doesn’t matter why you did things in the past… there was some kind of lesson to be learned. What matters is why you are doing things now. What is motivating you? What do you want to do that can make the world a better place? What are your true motivations now? We have grown from our past, and we are ready to stand in the power of our new why. Life is short and time is a gift, and this is one of the most important why’s of all. We can’t keep wasting our lives away. This is a new time, a time of love and romancing our lives. Feeling the good vibes and positive energy. Why? Because we deserve to be happy, joyful, abundant, and to experience love. Love in all forms. God wants that for us. That is our purpose on Earth. To see our full beauty and power, and to utilize it. It’s not always going to be easy. Our commitment will be tested. You can stay in your ways or go back to unhealthy tendencies. It’s probably going to feel very easy to do just that. Remember your why. What are you doing this for? What do you actually believe is possible? If you believe you can do it, you probably can. Follow your insights and intuition. Trust where you are going. You have to remember where you are headed, and remember your strength. You have to remember what you deserve, and what you are doing this all for. You have to be strong and committed. Remember the storms you’ve already been through, and what you have learned as to why you are making new choices now. Leave the past behind, but don’t forget the lessons you’ve learned. The storm might seem bad, but it’s actually providing the nutrients we need for growth. It’s providing the shake up we need so that new beauty can be born. Let the storm wash away the past. Let yourself grow in healthy ways, which include embracing the storms within our lives. We need a healthy amount of storms to be able to grow. Find balance in your life. If you are plagued by too many storms, look at the truth of why that is. If your life is barren with no storms or changes or energy, you might need to call in some storm energy to charge and refresh your energy.. to shake things up. Release the things that aren’t serving you, so you can step forward on your path in your full power. Embrace the beauty of the storm and leave the fears behind. You are powerful and beautiful and worthy. Have a beautiful week!
