The crystals I am working with for the week are Fire Quartz, Copper, and Red Opal. 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.

Fire Quartz – Heals hurt feelings from the past. Brings back the person’s original brilliance. The Holy flame purifies negative energy. Fills you with a warm energy of love and helps you create a bright future. Great stone for willpower, confidence, and inner strength. Helps you stand up for yourself.

Copper – A beautiful balancer of emotions. Beneficial for mental well-being and emotional healing. Invites you to lay all of your burdens down and raise your self-esteem. Magnifies energy transfers, enhancing healing from all minerals and crystals. Balances the chakras and helps circulation. Brighter burst of energy and sharper mind. Removes negativity so you are well-placed to receive all the goodness.

Red Opal – Enhances vision, creativity, and memory. Considered a stone of protection, faithfulness, and loyalty. Said to bring happiness and assist in easing the process of change. Opal helps you make sense of past experiences and integrate them into your life to serve you, rather than hinder you.

We just had a beautiful Full Moon in Aquarius, and in August we will have a 2nd Aquarius Full Moon. Every Full or New Moon, when I talk about releasing or setting intentions, I sometimes find myself frustrated working on the same things for months and years on end. We’ve been guided that we are going through this phase of transformation, and the truth of the matter is that we will always be in some kind of phase of transformation, but the energy for change is very strong right now. Something I’ve had to learn, is that this process isn’t a light switch. It’s takes time and allowance as we move through it. It’s not all going to happen in one moment. As we move through this time, we continue working on these shifts, and healing our inner child by letting go of issues from the past. Not only letting them go, but transmuting them to the light and only taking the lessons forward. I spent a lot of time in my younger years in a state of trauma. I had a series of painful and traumatic events occur when I was 15, and I spent the next 7 years hiding my pain with drug abuse and other other types of harmful abuse, which only added to my list of trauma (that I was majorly identifying with). I wish I could say it ended when I quit using drugs, but I was still dealing with the lasting effects of trauma, and seeing the results of that play out in my life. Why would anybody love me, when I didn’t love myself? Counselling was a huge help for me, but it wasn’t until I had my Spiritual awakening and my first Mediumship reading, that I truly saw myself in a new light. I was actually able to see my light. I saw my true, unique beauty. That reading was the catalyst that actually changed my perception of life… of my life. I was shown my worth and value, and also, the presence of Spirit, and I am absolutely grateful for that. This is the phase we are in now, truly letting go of the past and seeing it for the lessons it provided. We need to forgive our own mistakes and those of others. We need to stand in our power going forward and be true to ourselves, confident in who we are, no matter what we’ve gone through in the past. We are healing, trust in that. No matter how long and drawn out, or hard this process has been for you.. have faith that everything is working out exactly as it is supposed to. Spirit is with us and protecting us. They will remind us of our true beauty when we have forgotten. If you are in need of guidance or support, please reach out to me. We are bringing back, and truly understanding, our unique brilliance and what we have to offer the world. We all have a unique place and energy to bring, just by being yourself. We have a beautiful and bright future ahead of us, so believe in yourself and your worth. Be strong and have confidence. Have the willpower to cut out the things that are unhealthy in your life. Stand up for yourself in situations that aren’t serving your best interests. Lay down all your emotional burdens, and let them go. Make peace with them and send them love. Fill yourself with the warmth of love. Remember that when you change your inner perception, the outside world changes to reflect that. We are being given a burst of energy to continue forward on our path. We are being protected and guided. Working with crystals (copper would be great) or energy healing this week, will help you release negativity and renew your energy. We want to be well-placed to receive goodness in our life, so we have to stop identifying with negative energy or traumatic experiences, and release them for good. We have to trust that life is going to provide us abundance and opportunity. When you do the work, and stay strong, you will be rewarded by the Universe. Spirit wants us to be happy… and it is possible if we stay focused on positivity and love. Let’s see what the cards say!

Thunder Drum is depicting us standing in our power, being counted, and sharing our gifts with the World. It’s about knowing your value and worth, even if nobody is watching. This is a time to be true to yourself and what you desire to achieve in this lifetime. It’s about standing up for causes that matter and making a difference. It’s about finding our worth in our gifts. Our passion and vitality is being renewed by the energy of the Drum. The Drum is the heart beat. Energy healing this week is going to be so helpful for opening the Heart Chakra and remembering your strength. Spirit Keeper of the South is a promise of abundance to come. It is the beauty you can have in your life, if you welcome it. We are expanding, and things are moving forward. This card and the next both show us that things are going to move forward at a rapid pace. Be open to receiving the bounty of the Universe. When we heal our inner child, we allow ourselves to be happy again. We allow ourselves to roam free and see the beauty. We get our energy back, when we let go of all that weighs us down. Open your arms to receive gifts from the Universe. I love “The Journey” on this card, which tells us to stand outside and face the south sun with our eyes closed, and absorb the healing and abundance of the sunlight. We are being given energy this week from the lightning and the sunlight. It’s funny because these cards are reminding us that things WILL move forward, but for right now, we have to embrace what is. We can’t force Divine timing, and rushing does not help your energy. Savour the experiences in your life and be mindful. Make sure you take quality time for self-care and joy. Know when to speed up and slow down. Even when things are moving fast, make sure to approach them with child-like wonder. The child on this card is moving fast, but having fun while he’s flying. It also feels to me like the child is spreading his energy around the Earth. Flamingo Spirit is reminding us of this balance too. That we need to embrace the now, while working towards a bright future. Flamingo Spirit sees what was, and what will be, and stands strong in the face of uncertainty. Be informed of what came before, and plan for what is to come, but we also make sure to allow the Universe freedom to work by releasing expectations and attachments. Be fully present in this moment and enjoy life. We are not yet fully in the future, but we are moving forward from the past. We are in this in-between, which can feel frustrating. Find joy in this very moment, however you can. Embrace the in-between and all that we do not know! We are being called to use our Creativity, and this will unlock doors of opportunity. We have to stop expecting ourselves to be somewhere we aren’t. All we have to do, is enjoy now, and do our best to make decisions that support a better future. Then, trust that it is on the way for you. If we try to move too fast through transitions, we miss the lessons, we create blockages, and we blind ourselves to the miracles that surround us. Know that having true joy in this moment, is going to help you create a more joyful future. The next step will appear when it is time. Have faith that all is for our highest good. Have a beautiful week!
