The Energizing Power Of Quartz Crystal
Quartz crystal is a stone of power. Some call it the ‘universal stone’ due to its multiple uses. It enhances energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, and balancing energy. But in particular it is used to receive universal energy.
Quartz also improves our thinking, since thoughts are a form of energy. Because it directs and amplifies energy, it is very beneficial for manifestation, healing, meditation, protection and channeling. Due to its ability to balance energy, quartz is also excellent for harmonizing our environment, as well as energizing other crystals.
Quartz crystals, especially Amethyst, enable us to align our body with planet Earth. The quartz crystals help us to raise our vibration. So, when you feel sad, pessimistic, or abandoned and desperate due to the challenges of life, you can use amethysts or any other quartz crystal to recharge your energy and empower yourself.
Crystal attracts positive energy from planet Earth, while helping us to release out of the body the negative emotions and feelings of stress, anxiety, fear, depression, and all negative emotions of defeat or low vibration. One of the ways that quartz acts in the body is like an energetic shield that creates a bubble of spiritual light around your body.
Quartz also helps purify any negative vibration from your space, since they emanate a large amount of energy that you can use to thrive. They further help clear the mind of unnecessary thoughts and disorder.
You May Need A Spiritual ‘Tune-up’
Just like our cars may require a tune-up for optimal performance, we too benefit from a physical and spiritual tune-up from time to time. This increases our success in relationships, not only with others, but also with ourselves and Spirit. It can benefit us in our careers, our creative endeavors, our finances, and our overall wellness.
We are all souls living in physical bodies. At birth we were equipped with psychic awareness and our personal psychic gifts. We have to continually develop them, trust in the guidance we receive, and also expect it. To be better receivers, we must look at ways of enhancing our spiritual and physical well-being. And just as we might keep a maintenance log for our vehicles, so too should we keep one for ourselves.
Something which seems basic, but is so important, is to be open to spiritual guidance. Often we become jaded with bad experiences in life and we are not as open as we should be to receive inner guidance. Meditation is one way to connect with our own divine guidance and messages from Spirit, courtesy of our Helpers and Guides. Becoming quiet sets up the environment for psychic connections. It tunes out all the noise, so we can hear what our Guides are trying to say. So a spiritual tune-up must always begin with finding some silence and solitude.
We are all like radios with our energy vibrations, and we choose the channel we want to tune into during the day, as well as how and what we broadcast. Our beliefs, thoughts, who we spend time with, what we read and watch, all create our experiences. And sometimes we need to make some adjustments to clear, or change our channel.
Smudging Your Home To Clear Negative Energy
It’s a good idea to cleanse the energy in your home once a week, in my opinion. I do this with smudging, going around the perimeters of my house asking the powers that be to bless and protect my home and those who dwell in it. It helps to keep negativity and toxic energy out.
Smudging is an ancient shamanic practice and a ceremony practiced by Indigenous peoples of the Americas, which involves the burning of sacred herbs and resins. The smoke is believed to neutralize negative energy – as it clears it takes the unwanted, toxic energy with it, releasing it into another realm where it can be regenerated into positive energy.
I have also attended Catholic church ceremonies several times in my lifetime. They always start with incense at the beginning of a service. I like to describe it as ‘cleaning the negativity and toxic cobwebs’ that have accumulated. Yes, homes collect all kinds of energy over time, just like dust on a lampshade. And it needs to be cleaned! Every home benefits from a frequent smudging.
I especially like to always smudge after any negative encounter that may have taken place in my space – literally anything negative, be it the presence of an actual person, a bad dream, or telephonic argument with a loved one, I like to clear out that energy, as it makes my home brighter and lighter. As a highly sensitive empath, I just love the feeling of fresh, peaceful energy in my home.
On smudging days, I first dust my home and clean it, always with the windows wide open. Then I smudge myself, before smudging my home. I cleanse my own aura from my feet up, then go back down in a swirling motion all around my entire body. I use both hands when doing this, to evenly move the smudging stick around me. I visualize my aura being cleansed completely.
Self-Care Life Hacks For Empaths
As we go about our everyday life, enjoying or loathing our experiences, we are always surrounded by an entire realm of energetic interactions. These subtle energies are not easily palpable, and cannot be perceived by the regular senses.
For example, many people have experienced a fleeting feeling that some presence was in a room with them, when no one was actually present. Similarly, most people, even when blindfolded, can sense a person standing next to them. Or sometimes, when we buy a home or car, for example, we become aware that something ‘feels off’ about it, but we just cannot quite put our finger on it.
In such cases we are perceiving energy with our so-called ‘sixth sense.’ We cannot physically see, smell, hear, taste or feel the energy, but we ‘sense’ it intuitively. It is also known as clairsentience or extra-sensory perception, which is perception beyond the five normal senses.
Every person perceives energy in this way, however, some people are naturally more sensitive to it. The spiritual or metaphysical community uses different terms for such individuals, including psychic, intuitive, sensitive or empath. The empath is a sensitive person who specifically has a higher level of awareness of other people’s feelings and emotions.
Empaths are often judged from a young age as being ‘too sensitive or ‘overly emotional’ by family members or care-givers. Sadly, this often promotes the false belief that emotional sensitivity is somehow a ‘weakness,’ or the opposite of inner strength, self-confidence, or even intelligence.
Quick Ways To Manifest Abundance In Your Life
Could you use a little, or perhaps a lot of extra cash? I think most everyone can. Few people would mind a little financial flow increase. But if you’re like many people in this busy day and age, you don’t always have the time to focus on manifesting abundance in your life. Below I’ve outlined a few quick fixes for using the law of attracting to bring cash flow your way.
But first, let’s define abundance. The word certainly has a monetary connotation to it, but abundance is even bigger and better than a few extra bucks in your pocket. Abundance means an overflow, and generous current of all that is needed to live a prosperous, fulfilled life.
And although love isn’t always enough to keep us warm at night, there are many things in this world that are more needed beyond the cash notes, such as family, love, home. But what do these things have in common? They are things of value. Things of value are different than money, but they all benefit from the availability of money. Whereas money itself, means very little without things of value.
Knowing and understanding the energy of abundance is the first and most important step in manifesting abundance. With that in mind, let’s consider five quick ways to manifest greater abundance..
Crystals
Invest in a few abundance crystals or ‘money stones.’ There are many options available, but a few of the main players are Citrine, Green Aventurine and Lodestone. Lodestone can be charged with magnetic sand before being put to use, for added potency.
How To Slow Down Time
We live in a world today where we are constantly being challenged to get everything done as a matter of urgency. We have to check every item on our ‘to-do lists’ by a specific deadline, which leads to stress overload and energy depletion.
The pressure to constantly perform drains our energy, which ultimately leads to exhaustion, depression, irritability and even ill health. It also negatively impacts our day-to-day interactions with others. And from personal experience, you can’t truly enjoy any task or moment when you’re always in a rush, or living only for the future.
Let me remind you today that it’s okay to sometimes ‘press pause’ for a moment and allow life to just flow in its own time, without getting frustrated or stressed. Inner peace comes from surrendering time to the Universe and finding a routine that works for your unique needs. Here are some ways you can slow down time and help you live in the present:
Breathing – Get involved in a form of exercise that encourages you to breathe deeply, like Yoga, Qigong, and even strength training.
Disconnect – Logout from the internet and social media on a regular basis.
Recreation – Go for a walk in the woods, sit by water or find a beautiful landscape that you find calming. Use your hands to make something with food or art materials. Continue reading
