Crystal Therapy: Top 5 Crystals for Prosperity

In this crystal therapy session I will be discussing five stones that have energetic properties to bring about prosperity. To understand how crystals work, I first want to discuss resonate energy.  Resonate energy is the vibrational quality of the things around us.  Everything carries an energy signature, and the reason why crystals are quite popular in metaphysical practices is because the resonate energy of crystals is often a higher frequency than other tools and objects.  This is due to their unique matrices and minerals within each crystal.

How to Spot a Romantic Intensity Addiction

Imagine a summer romance novel; a delicious story of romance and intrigue wherein our hero or heroine meets a potential partner so daring, dangerous, distant or complicated that their heart-breaking, intense and destructive pairing is the most fascinating and fun read ever.

But imagine if our heroine met  a broker with a stable job, a dog and a nice house, and they lived happily ever after instead? BORING!

Even though we live in a culture that pursues balance, prosperity and happiness, there’s a part of all of us that appreciates the dark, passionate, difficult entanglement of drama and intensity.

While passion and deep emotions are a natural part of our human nature and lend to the beauty of our lives, intensity and drama can also be addictive and, in extreme cases, this addiction can destroy relationships and lives.

Everyone likes intensity sometimes, but the relationship intensity-addict seeks out constant sources of excitement, seduction, and the giddy “highs” of sexual or emotional attraction but is never fulfilled or sated by these highs, so they seek them out over and over again in increasingly risky or limiting scenarios. They often see themselves simply  as poetic and hopeless romantics until they hit the same walls over and over.

How to Create a Love Shrine

Before you create your shrine you need to set your intention. Are you wanting to draw love near you? What are you wanting? What type of person do you want? Is there someone you are already in love with and dating that you want to draw closer to you?

If so you can create a very special shrine that draws this energy to you. If you want something you need to know specifically what you want. You need to know the type of person, characteristics, and the outcome that you have in mind. Do you want a family with this person? Do you want children or a house? Do you want any pets?

Get a very clear vision of the type of life you would like for yourself and the type of relationship you want. Visualize a kind relationship that is mutual and without worry.

If you are working towards a specific person think about what you like about them, what makes them special to you. Why is this person so different from any other person? Think about what they like. Do they like flowers? Do they like candles? Do they have a favorite smell to them?

Visualization For Prosperity

Visualization for prosperity can be a wonderful tool for increasing the effectiveness we have in our daily lives. It allows us to align our intentions and emotions with what we desire, and keeps us focused on our goals.

However, there are definitely some pitfalls to this particular practice. Working in the metaphysical traditions I have noticed that sometimes individuals mistake visualization for prosperity for living in fantasy.

Fantasy is not innately bad, for instance fantasy in the context of fiction allows healthy down time from our everyday lives.  However, when we live in fantasy, and do not choose to align ourselves with reality, this fantasy life can often have unwanted consequences.

Tarot of the Week – The Hanged Man

 ghosts&spirits-hanged-manTarot of the Week — June 24 – June 30

This week we offer a look and interpretation of The Hanged Man from the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot by Lisa Hunt:

In this deck the Hanged man is a transformational figure, the root system shows us his connection to the universe and the skeletal being of the underworld is holding the man in suspension.

From the look of the man’s face he seems to give up freely to the connection of the light of the universe and darker side of humanity.

When we see a hanged man in a spread, or The Hanged man this week, then you may want to consider holding off on signing any contracts or falling head over heels in love with someone.

This card represents a need to suspend something to stop an action or to postpone something to give you time to think it all out. If you are not impulsive and you can hold off on “acting” on a decision, at least for a few days, it will shed some light on other options that may be available to you.

You may be feeling a bit stuck in life, as the Hanged Man can sometimes reflect a feeling of restriction. Seeing this card is a sign that you may need to get in touch with why you are feeling stuck or suspended at this time in your life.

Ask a Psychic: Will I Reunite With My Ex?

reconcile

This week’s question comes from woman (whom we’ll call Teresa) whose boyfriend broke up with her during the most recent Mercury retrograde.

She knows enough about astrology to know that things can go haywire during a Mercury retrograde, but probably doesn’t know enough about it to have understood that there were far bigger transits at work during this period, namely Saturn and Pluto transits.

She says she was blind-sided and didn’t see this coming. She’s wondering whether there is a chance for reconciliation and if so when.

You Are Not A Soul In A Body, You Are A Body In A Soul

You Are Not Alone – Flame Families

Last year I did a course in Spiritual Response Therapy, and one of the things I learned on the course, in Robert E Detzler’s book, Soul Re-Creation: Developing Your Cosmic Potential is that we are the fire of God’s creation, and that flame, which is our Soul Family, resembles a flower with petals.

Each petal has two souls, male and female, and all the petals together form a flame family. In one petal, we have our twin flame who is closer to us than other soul flame mates in the flower system.

Welcome To The Major Arcana Destiny Cards

The Major Arcana represent the destiny cards, each depicting the rapturous joys and doleful sorrows that every man and woman comes to know throughout life’s long course of fortunes. For me, the Major Arcana have taught basic life lessons.

I learned the Tarot using the Rider-Waite Tarot, and I continue with this deck to this very day, as I feel my strongest bond to the “Rider-Waite Tarot Deck.” The Major Arcana symbolize immensely powerful archetypes that evoke the profoundest thoughts and life experiences that, one way, or another, will weave themselves into the story of your life.

Tarot Card of the Week – The Moon

MoonThe  Moon — June 17 – 23

This week we offer a look and interpretation of the Moon as depicted in the Beautiful Creatures Tarot created by,  J.R. Rivera  (Author), Jasmine Becket-Griffith  (Illustrator).

In this illustration the little nymph sits cold and alone. She feels a little fearful as the dark energies or forces “outside” herself bring her to a low vibration.

This week, you may want to reflect on the energies that could be influencing you, particularly the dark thoughts or feelings you may be having regarding a certain circumstance or situation.

The Moon in the Tarot often represents your “shadow self” your darker side, or your tendency to have a few negative thoughts. You may be fearful of your surrounding or not feeling like you are in control of a situation.

Others around you, like the card shows—outside forces—could be putting you in a position of fear or negative thoughts and feelings. This could be a good time to shake that off and get back on track with positive and assertive affirmations.
