Using Essential Oils To Enhance Your Psychic Awareness
Essential oils have many esoteric uses beyond traditional aromatherapy. In fact, many experienced spiritual seekers use essential oils in their daily practices. But what is less well known is that these magical oils can also be used to enhance intuition and promote psychic awareness.
Aromatic substances also help increase focus and clarity during meditation, divination, energy healing, and psychic reading. By engaging the sense of smell, you can more effectively anchor your awareness in the present moment, reduce distractions, and promote a state of mindfulness or psychic attunement to open your channels of intuition. I also feel more attuned to subtle energies and spirit presences when I use aromatherapy in my psychic work.
Essential oils are a wonderful spiritual tool that promote relaxation, mental clarity and emotional balance, which in turn creates a conducive environment for exploring your intuition and inner awareness.
Smell is closely linked to the limbic system in the brain, which is associated with emotions, memories, and instinctual responses. When we encounter a particular scent, it can evoke strong emotional or subconscious reactions. In spiritual practices, certain scents can trigger deep-seated feelings or associations, helping to create a particular mental or emotional state conducive to psychic experiences.
Overall, the power of scent and aroma in spiritual and esoteric practices is multifaceted, involving a combination of sensory, psychological, cultural, and symbolic factors. Aromas serve as powerful tools for creating sacred spaces, enhancing psychic experiences, and facilitating inner transformation through their profound influence on the mind, body, and spirit.
Astrology Forecast 13 – 19 May 2024
The Moon entering Leo this morning starts the week with vitality, creativity and a desire to shine. We will feel imbued with confidence and assertiveness.
Embrace this energy today by expressing yourself authentically, leading with positivity and enjoying the spotlight in a balanced and constructive way.
Be aware, however, of the added emotional intensity that a Leo Moon opposition to Pluto in Aquarius can bring, as we are likely to experience emotions more strongly, with a tendency towards power struggles or confrontation, especially in personal or group dynamics.
Pluto represents issues of power and control. With this aspect, there may be a struggle between the assertion of personal power (Leo) and the desire for collective change or transformation (Aquarius).
Be aware of power dynamics. Approach situations at work or in your business today with awareness and mindfulness, acknowledging the potential for intense emotions and power dynamics, but also seeking constructive growth and change.
Mercury’s entry into Taurus on Wednesday will inspire us to be more logical, methodical and grounded in our thinking and actions. We will tend to focus more on tangible, realistic ideas and solutions.
Communication also becomes more deliberate and steady during Mercury in Taurus, so we may want to speak and express ourselves more slowly and deliberately, using clear and concise language. Paying more attention to details in our conversations, tasks and plans will increase productivity and accuracy in our daily activities.
Astrology Forecast May 6 – 12, 2024
The week begins with a Taurus Moon transit this afternoon, culminating in a Taurus New Moon tomorrow.
During a Taurus New Moon we feel a stronger connection to the physical world, a desire for stability and security in our lives, and increased attention to money, resources and material goods.
The next few days are therefore a good time to assess our financial situation and consider our values in relation to wealth and possessions.
It is also a powerful time for setting intentions and planting seeds for new beginnings. Given Taurus’s focus on stability and perseverance, intentions set during this time may relate to building lasting foundations or cultivating patience and perseverance in the pursuit of our goals.
We will also find it easier to maintain emotional stability and resilience in the face of challenges ans will be drawn to experiences that stimulate our senses – such as enjoying good food, indulging in luxury or spending time in nature.
Overall, the Taurus New Moon encourages us to slow down, connect with our physical bodies and the world around us, and focus on building a secure and fulfilling life based on our true values.
On Thursday and Friday you may feel more inclined to socialise, connect with others and express yourself verbally, thanks to the Gemini Moon. It will be a good time for networking, attending social events or just catching up with friends and loved ones.

It will be a time of resolution and redemption, allowing us to find closure and make amends for past conflicts or mistakes.

Astrology Forecast April 29 – May 5, 2024
Our sensuality blossoms and relationship stablity becomes a priority today as Venus moves into Taurus, where it will remain for the next month (25 days).
Venus in Taurus is considered one of its most comfortable and powerful positions astrologically, because Venus, the planet of love, beauty and harmony, finds a luxurious home in the sign of Taurus, which is ruled by Venus herself.
Until May 23, this transit will evoke a strong connection to physical comforts such as good food, beautiful surroundings, luxurious fabrics, and pleasant scents. We will enjoy the finer things in life and have a heightened sense of beauty and harmony in our surroundings.
Venus in Taurus also inspires a strong appreciation of the natural world, so we will enjoy spending more time outdoors, gardening or engaging in activities that bring us closer to the earth.
More importantly, Taurus is a stable and grounded sign, and when Venus is placed here, it brings stability and reliability to romantic relationships, which bodes well for long-term commitments in the coming weeks. Many of us will be willing to invest more time and effort into building a solid foundation for our relationships.
The Mystical Properties Of Ancient Amber
Crystals, gemstones, and incense have been widely used in spiritual, esoteric, and healing practices throughout the ages and continue to be popular today.
But there is another type of natural material that does not enjoy the same level of widespread recognition and popularity, despite its unique metaphysical properties and significance in various cultures and mystical traditions.
Resins are less well known and used by modern practitioners. I find that many people are unfamiliar with the various types of resins available and their metaphysical properties.
Compared to crystals, gemstones, and incense, which have gained widespread popularity in recent years, especially through social media and the Internet, resins have received less attention and exposure.
As a result, people may be less likely to encounter resins in their exploration of metaphysical tools and practices.
I also find that people who are at least somewhat familiar with resins tend to associate them with their use as incense. Resins such as frankincense, myrrh, copal, and others are often burned as incense to purify spaces, objects, and individuals. The smoke cleanses negative energies, purifies the aura, and creates a sacred atmosphere for rituals and ceremonies. Continue reading
How To Increase Your Psychic Awareness
People often tell me that they wish they had psychic abilities. The truth is, we all do! Like any other talent, it just takes practice to develop your individual psychic potential.
You can develop your psychic awareness in the same way that you can practice playing a musical instrument or a sport. Of course, some people are more gifted musically or athletically, but that does not prevent anyone from acquiring a certain level of skill.
People with exceptional psychic potential tend to exhibit divergent thinking, or the ability to generate multiple solutions or perspectives to a problem. They tend to think outside the box, make unconventional connections and approach challenges with creativity, flexibility and originality.
People are also more likely to have exceptional psychic potential if they are emotionally sensitive, have high levels of empathy and transpersonal awareness.
But overall, giftedness or psychic talent is a multifaceted inner potential influenced by a combination of factors including genetic predisposition, natural aptitude, personality, environmental factors, motivation, developmental opportunities and one’s unique soul plan and purpose.
While some people demonstrate exceptional abilities from an early age, psychic awareness is a dynamic and evolving quality that can be cultivated, nurtured and expressed in different ways throughout life.
