The crystals I am working with for the week are Ocean Jasper, Pyrite and Prasiolite. 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. 

Ocean Jasper – Very soothing and helps to love one’s self as well as others. It heals the emotions and brings peace of mind. It helps with acceptance of responsibility and increases patience. The patterns symbolize that we are all interconnected. A protective stone. Encourages a feeling of joy and elevated spirits. Helps you to release negative feelings, helps you if you need a lift. Helps you to enhance your personal power. Once you understand yourself better, this helps you to have greater self confidence, self esteem and self worth.

Pyrite – Enhances intelligence, mental stability, logic, analysis, creativity, memory, and psychic development. It can help you tap your own latent mental talents and abilities. Pyrite is a powerful protection stone, and is very grounding. Brings energies of good luck or good fortune.

Prasiolite – A stone of originality and courage. Fosters self-reliance. A prosperity stone, said to attract abundance. Clears negativity. It can help strengthen and express emotions as well as the mind and will. It is also said to be highly beneficial for prophesy.

Every week I always feel like the reading is aimed at me, so I guess it makes me feel better that I am not the only one going through this stuff. I guess it’s just life, and we really are all inter-connected. These crystals suggest we are feeling down, feeling negative and overwhelmed by life. Honestly… I’ve been feeling it. My 4 year old son is being treated for leukemia, and my 10 year old son has autism, so I have a lot of responsibility to take on. None the less, we are very blessed and life is good. I have been lucky enough to receive a scholarship with Carmel Baird to take a course in Mediumship. It is an exciting opportunity, but I was feeling overwhelmed today, feeling like I’m falling behind, and that I don’t have the time (or peace and quiet) to allow myself to be in the space I need to be to work on this. My moments of quiet are fleeting to say the least. I was feeling a little resentful today… and giving away my personal power! Whatever responsibilities are weighing you down, know that the crystals are protecting us and helping us clear this negative energy. We need to tap into our personal power, and the best way to do this is to lift our spirits and feel joy. Doing something today that makes you feel happy. Coincidentally, I was watching some Joel Osteen on TV this morning, and this was exactly his topic. That we weren’t meant to live life just living out our responsibilities from morning till night. We are here to be happy… to experience joy. We are no good to anyone if we are miserable. We need to love ourselves through these tough times, and find our own personal power. We need to accept responsibility for what we can control. We need to find and create joy all throughout our days. We need to have patience. Use your creativity to lift your energy to a state that is more positive. Prosperity, abundance, good luck and good fortune is in store for us, but we need to stay positive! Let’s see which cards go along with these crystals for this week. 

All my life, it has seemed like the people around me had a clear vision of what they wanted for their life, and I never really felt like I had that. Nothing felt right for me. Most of my old classmates are incredibly successful, and sometimes I’m left contemplating my self-worth and what my special talents and abilities are. It is hard these days with social media, and our constant comparison to how we feel other people live their lives. The crystals are helping us to tap into our special talents and abilities… and the best part? All we have to do to develop our life purpose is live in joy. Do what makes you happy, do what fulfills you, and your path will become clear. Focus on helping others find joy, and you will find that joy too. Everything that you are going through now you are learning from, and it relates to your purpose in life. Maybe work has been stressing you out, and you would way rather be doing something more rewarding that helps others. This may be a good time to do that more. Cupid is telling us that part of the joy we seek is found within the romance in our life, and within the love we give to ourselves and others. Cupid is awakening us to our love for life. We need to make clear and conscious decisions to choose joy and love. Let go of all the things that are bothering us, have forgiveness and patience, and accept love. Choose to be happy. Shake life up a bit. Most of the reason we feel down is because we have conditioned ourselves to feel this way. We have decided that because of the things that have gone on in the past, or how we compare ourselves to others, that we don’t deserve happiness or that someone else is to blame for what we are feeling. We have to let the past go and have forgiveness. I hold a lot of resentment in my life because of the past, and it is something I have to work on constantly. When I feel resentful, it’s easy to go back to those situations and remember all the reasons why I deserve to feel angry or resentful. The problem is that the only thing this does is hurt ourselves. It pushes people away when we wallow in the hurt or resentment. It lowers our vibrations. We have to make the conscious choice to choose happiness, and let the resentment go. It is ok to let go and have fun. Like Joel Osteen said this morning, you can be responsible and still have fun. We all deserve a little fun. Keep working on finding that balance in your day and in your life. Work on releasing those negative emotions and replacing them with happiness, and love. Let those toxic feelings go in exchange for peace. Go find some joy right now! 

Life Purpose – This card comes as a reminder that you needn’t struggle to find your life purpose. Don’t worry about how to make good money in a meaningful career. Don’t concern yourself with quitting or starting jobs or professions. Instead, follow the path of your natural desires, talents, and passions with the full intention of bringing joy to yourself and others. Your life purpose doesn’t need to be defined or pinpointed. It’s a process, not a category. Additional meanings for this card: Give all worries about money or career to God and the Angels. You’re on the right path forward towards your life’s purpose. Focus on one step at a time with respect to your life’s purpose, and release fears about the future to your Angels. What you’re doing right now is part of your life’s purpose.

Cupid – This card comes to you because the Angels see your desire for romance. Instead of fixing the externals in your love life, they assist you internally. The Angels say that romance springs from falling in love with life itself. When you let the Angels awaken this love within you, you naturally attract and experience more romantic love in your relationships. Additional meanings for this card: Surround yourself with romantic beauty such as roses and candles. Give any emotional hurt to the Angels. Ask Archangel Michael to help you release any painful attachments to previous or current lovers. Clearly decide what you desire in your love life. Affirm “it is safe for me to love and be loved”.

Let Your Past Go – You received this card because your thoughts and feelings about the past are holding you back. Your repeating a pattern because of unfinished emotions from your past. This card is a sign to forgive and move on, to stop painful patterns. It doesn’t mean that you need to be with the person you’re forgiven. It simply means that you’ve let toxic feelings go in exchange for peace. Additional meanings for this card: Approach a new situation or relationship with positive expectations. Avoid routines. Speak to a counsellor or support group. Forgive those who hurt you. Forgive yourself. The worst is now behind you. Keep your thoughts about the situation high and bright.
