The crystals I am working with for the week are Red Jasper, Lava Rock, and Banded Agate. 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.

Red Jasper – A stone of fairness and justice because its energy is used to decrease injustice and help in unfair situations. Helps you take all of your energy and use it in a balanced manner. Used for protection. It is said to be outstanding for promoting survival and overcoming survival issues. It has very nurturing energy and can help with ancestral/inherited issues. It is also said to enhance responsibility, choice, and compassion.

Lava Rock – Grounds and calms the emotions. A stone of rebirth and shedding unneeded layers of emotional attachment. Lava stones are good for stabilizing and grounding because of the strong connection to the Earth. In folk remedies, it was given to soldiers to help them remain calm during battle. A stone of courage and gives people stability as they go through changes in their lives.

Banded Agate – Called the earth rainbow. Increases concentration, honesty and memory. It helps bring spiritual experiences into everyday reality. Brings love to the chakras to rid negative energy.

It’s important that we are staying strong and grounded through these trying and transformational times. Things are shifting and changing, and we have to make sure we are standing in our own power, making responsible choices for the sake of our future and our goals and dreams. I can’t speak for everyone, but personally, and maybe it’s my Libra Sun, but I feel like I have had to fight for fairness always in my life. I’ve gone through so many things that felt completely unfair. I have been in survival mode for a long time. If I don’t take back power and control over my choices, then I continue letting life happen to me, instead of working for me. We truly are co-creators of our reality, and there is so much power in that. We have choice every single day. We are trying to enjoy our lives more and appreciate the beauty, and that can be hard when our energy is pulled elsewhere and pulled down. You deserve to be loved and supported… you do. The things that haven’t killed you made you stronger, this is completely true and a blessing we can take forward on our path, but in order to manifest the energy we truly deserve, we have to stop fighting for it and claim it. You deserve to put your energy into yourself and your dreams. Your dreams and goals are worthwhile and attainable. We have to keep moving forward and believing in ourselves. We need to take care of ourselves. I’ve been praying for protection, guidance, and clarity, and these crystals are here to confirm that Spirit is here with us, they hear our prayers, and karma will protect us. All we have to do is what is best for the highest good, and let Spirit take care of the rest. It’s interesting for the Ancestors to come up with the Red Jasper, because these limiting beliefs about my worthiness stems back beyond my 6x Great Grandfather, one of the first Map Makers of the interior of Canada. He was always giving more than he received, and was undervalued during his lifetime for his contributions. I see my beautiful relations all around me, and each one of them deserves the world. Why wouldn’t I see myself in that same way? Spirit keeps bringing me this message that I am here to break these limiting systems, but in order to do that, I have to make powerful choices and decisions to overcome these fears and beliefs. Have compassion for how far you’ve come to get here. It is all a part of our perfect path, despite the challenges that seem unfair. Know that if you keep giving and serving others with your beautiful heart, that karma will play its part in you reaping the rewards you deserve. Shed the unneeded layers of emotional attachment. Take back your power to choose for yourself. Stabilize and prepare yourself for the battle that may come. Have strength and courage. You’ve survived every day of your life thus far, and tomorrow should be no different. Make the best of it that you can. Recognize the signs and guidance from Spirit. Whenever you are feeling down, resentful, or angry, ask the Angels to surround you with protection and calm. Remind yourself that it will pass. Give yourself the love you seek and hope for from others. Bring in love to get out the negativity. There is so much love and abundance to go around, tap into that instead of the fear or negative energy. Good things are coming from all of this, no matter how hard it seems sometimes. Keep marching on. Enjoy the Full Moon in Libra coming up this Saturday, it’s the perfect time to let go of what isn’t serving you. It’s no wonder there are such themes of battle, fairness, and justice, with the Sun in Aries and with the Moon going to be in Libra. I’m certainly feeling it! Let’s see what the cards have to say!

Wow. I say that every week, but honestly wow. Spirit is absolutely here with us. Look at all this beauty. Look at Spirit looking down on us from the sky, through a rainbow of joy and abundance. There is so much promise to come. There is love, beauty, abundance, and fertility. Everything we hope for can come true, if we work for it, if we co-create it. I actually laughed when I saw the Co-create Card, I knew when I said it earlier that it was going to come up! Spirit is confirming that we absolutely need to do our part in all of this. You might have to step out onto the wire and take a chance. You might feel scared and vulnerable. There is something so much bigger at play going on behind all of this, behind each of our lives and the choices we make. I was lucky my Ancestors on my Dad’s side are so well documented due to their history with the HBC, and to be able to read their words and understand their sense of duty and responsibility, and also to see their humanness and their love and compassion for their families. Those are also traits that have carried through the generations. I always admired my Grandfather and my Father, they always kept their cool dealing with others, and always offered compassion and understanding. Learning about my Ancestors these past couple years, I see these traits carry back as far as I can tell. My Ancestors laid a foundation for me of love, compassion, and empathy for all. I think their humble nature is what created blocks from receiving abundance, or believing they are worthy or deserving. I see these blocks still popping up in my life. The owl is wise and the cheetah is powerful, with the strength to go the distance. Use your smarts and strength to break through these blocks and repair any cracks in the foundation. See a new fertility in your life and be willing to receive in ways you haven’t been thus far. Believe you are worthy and deserving of all the great things… success, abundance, riches, joy… and keep sitting on that egg and helping to enrich it and grow it. You will be reaping rewards in your future. You have creative ideas in your mind, make sure you are writing them down and giving them the consideration they deserve. Spirit is supporting you through all of this. Trust in the signs and inspirations you receive. You are a part of Spirit, a part of this Universe, a part of everything that exists. You are a paintbrush that creates beauty with your own unique individual expression. You are the only one who can contribute to this world in your way. You are the inspiration of the Divine. You exist on this Earth to help manifest the ideas of our Creator. You are a miracle, with the ability to create more miracles. Keep creating beautiful things in your life, and you will be happy with how everything turns out. Keep your heart open to love and friendship connections too, which can enhance beauty in our life and inspire creative ideas. Apply yourself to your goals and dreams. Believe in their worthiness. The potential for manifestation is unlimited, believe this to be true with your whole heart. Do you believe Spirit deserves to be blessed? Then believe that you do too. You are not alone and you do not have to carry it all alone. Reach out for support from your friends, those you love, and from Spirit. You can keep trying to do everything on your own, and continue struggling.. or you can let it go to Spirit and allow for their support. Stop being hard on yourself and get out of your own way. Let your life be blessed. Trust that your needs will be met, especially when you stand in your authentic power and chase your dreams with relentless passion and fearlessness. Keep creating the beautiful artwork that is your unique life. Let your thoughts and feelings be sweet with gratitude and you will be nourished with the honey of abundance. You are a unique, deserving, expression of the Divine. Let the authenticity of your soul illuminate your purpose. What lights you up inside? What work can you do that will impact the world in positive and beautiful ways? It might not even matter what work you do, but how you do it. Miracles are a choice and a way of seeing the world. Everything is a miracle if you think about it. It’s a miracle I am here today, and that I can experience the gift of love. Embrace your destiny and say yes to opportunities. Be open and willing to receive. Make sure to nourish yourself, before you feel empty. You are so loved. Feel love and compassion for yourself and all you’ve been through. Turn your troubles over to the Divine for healing, and remember how much beauty already exists. I LOVE the New Moon Card, it’s one that comes up often for me, and I just noticed it is written on page 111 in the book. This is a time of new beginnings, and there is so much opportunity, promise, support, and love on the horizon. This is a time that our desires are manifesting to fruition. We need to fully realize our ideas and inspirations. We must keep moving forward, while finding balance by stopping to enjoy and appreciate the beauty we’ve co-created. When you see the Moon and the Clouds and the Trees, know they are just like you and just like me, full of deserving abundant beauty. Align with the will of Spirit and believe your desires are worthy of fulfillment. The promise will be kept and karma will come full circle. Have a beautiful week!
