This is a time to embrace new ways of thinking and consider thought patterns or habits that may need to be discarded. What the world needs now is for you to reboot. Now is the time to embrace change on a collective level. Reassess your goals and aspirations and consider any alternative routes you may feel drawn to taking. When you do take time out to connect to your soul, you are able to hear the message of the universe with greater clarity.

How far are you willing to delve into the depths of your subconscious? This is a time of powerful healing for you and sometimes this requires you to face what lies within. Sometimes you experience difficulty in connecting with your inner divine self or perhaps you have lost sight of who you are.

When your energy becomes stagnant and you are not operating from a canter of balance and focus, it is time to employ the necessary means to get rid of this staleness. Exploring yourself at a deeper level can help you uncover important realisations that will assist you on your journey. Your feelings are key to understanding what lies within, so please refrain from blocking your feelings, both positive and negative emotions are essential to understanding yourself better.

This process allows you to understand others at a deeper level too. What feelings are you having right now? What messages from your subconscious mind are springing to the surface? This relates especially to thoughts or emotions that may have been buried there for some time. So often we are too afraid of looking at the things that are not positive in our lives. However, this avoidance strategy always ends up sabotaging your potential to go where you want or achieve what you set out to achieve.

Yep, nobody as blind as someone not wanting to see, so do yourself a favour and get acquainted with yourself today. To help you along, let us look at crystals and gemstones as healing tools.Yes, you read right, stoning yourself into wellness is an apt description for employing the energies of crystals and stones for optimum health benefits.

Here is a quick black and white explanation of what this stone/crystal healing process entail. Crystals and gemstones are Nature’s marvellous helpers known to clear your mind, sooth physical ailments and bring balance to your emotional state.

Note that it is important to clean them routinely, to purify and strip off negative energy to ensure optimum results. There are numerous ways to cleanse and energise your crystals and gemstones.

Here are my favourite cleansing methods:

1. Use water to cleanse your crystals as water is a neutralising agent and will remove all negative energy from your crystals. Adding sea salt to the water is advised for an extra boost. 
2. You can also place your crystals out in the sun to absorb the powerful sunrays. 

Both these methods will restore your stones energy quickly. Wearing or working with crystals and gemstones can offer multiple levels of healing power. All you need to tap into this energy source is an open heart and an open mind.

Making use of crystals and gemstones to enhance this wellness process and eliminate distortions, allows you to open up your intuition to deeper levels. You can enhance energy by carrying the corresponding crystals or gemstones or wearing them where possible. This crystal and gemstone use process facilitates clarity and thus allows for greater comprehension.

Did you know that wearing or working with Green Calcite enhances emotional balance and can be very helpful when you need to release negative emotions, anxiety or stress. Use crystals like rose quartz to open your heart chakra and lepidolite to facilitate the process of accessing your inner voice. Clear quartz is an energising stone that clears frustrating thoughts and feelings from the body. Engaging with the energy of clear quartz will facilitate the process of keeping you focused and uplifted. So, go ahead and start incorporating crystals and gemstones into your healing practice or whenever you need a boost.

Journaling is another way of purging any emotions, thoughts or beliefs that are keeping you stuck. Your emotions are key to understanding yourself better. Go ahead and note down your feelings today. Are there any negative, hidden feelings that you may have but refuse to acknowledge? You have to have the willingness and yes, courage, to bring these hidden thoughts and feelings into your awareness so that you can change them. Whilst you are noting down these negative feelings or thoughts, imagine them flowing out of your body and away from you, draining all negativity out of your very being. Now more than ever is the time to stand for your beliefs and most importantly, stand for yourself and do not let previous restrictive beliefs hold you back.

There is a direct correlation between being centred within yourself and finding higher meaning in your life. This is because when you are well acquainted with yourself, your desires, needs and wants you are more likely to experience fulfilment in your work and life overall… so lean into your desires.

Being confident and actively pursuing your desires generate a deep feeling of connection to something bigger than yourself. The universe will show support through synchronicity, i.e. meaningful coincidences that occurs with no causal relationship. Furthermore, when you love yourself unconditionally, you are able to share it with others without feeling resentful or desperately wanting something in return.

Put good habits in place, such as greeting each day with a ritual of gratitude. This is the time also to learn to embrace those quirky and sometimes even weird facets of your personality. Practice gratitude for the interesting and unique traits that make you so marvellous. This essential habit allows you to feel appreciative, harmonised and centred. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures.

The Green Aventurine stone attracts abundance and opportunities and thus a perfect addition to your practice. Thus, carry this stone in your purse or left pocket to attract abundance. Use this time to study and learn about things that piques your interest, expand your mind plus promotes mental and emotional growth in you. Have the courage to move beyond your old patterns that really don’t serve your goals.

Allow yourself to be real with what is in your heart. This allows you to gain clarity with what you really want and thus enable you to make decisions based on that. Put your emotions aside and think things through carefully. Determine how you can best apply your talents and skills to help make the world a better place. You are encouraged to seek truth and explore the hidden areas of life. You must align with your inner truth, sweeping away all excuses or reasons blocking this vital alignment. It is crucial that you learn self-restraint, i.e. to reign indulging and impulsive behaviour by taking a moment to think things through, before taking actions or making decisions. Learn to focus on the solutions rather than the problems themselves. Practise generosity and kindness to those around you, because when you share your love and light with others, it will return manyfold back to you.

Aquamarine clears the mind, thus facilitating the communication of your feelings and thoughts to others. If you are finding it difficult to make decision or pay attention to details, try and take it easy and don’t demand too much from yourself. Rather place a piece of Tree agate near your body when facing decisions as this crystal facilitates connecting with your center of wisdom. Tree agate helps you nurture your ideas and follow your intuition.

Furthermore, you are encouraged to gather more information about life, as well as to enthusiastically seek knowledge and wisdom in all things. Keep your heart and mind open to opportunities and new possibilities without feeling the need to cling onto one possible outcome. Remember the importance of self-love and that you are just as important and worthy of taking care of your own needs and wants as those of others. So today would be a great time to set the intention of practising self-care, a decision that will unleash a shockwave of abundance and wellness into your life.

*Please note that using crystal/stone healing in no way replace appropriate medical care and attention.
