Energy Work
The Ancient Spiritual Tradition Of Smudging
Just as our physical environment can become cluttered and unclean, our aura or energy field also accumulates stagnant and negative energy.
Regularly cleaning our homes and workplaces promotes health, hygiene and optimal function — and the same principle applies to our personal and spiritual energy. Clearing our energy field and environment helps to release negativity and toxic emotions, stress and anxiety, and promotes a sense of calm, clarity and balance.
Energy cleansing is essential for removing blockages that may be hindering personal and spiritual growth or disrupting your connection to spirit and the divine. Over time, lingering negative or toxic energy can even manifest as mental health issues, spiritual disconnection and even physical ailments.
By maintaining a regular practice of energy cleansing, you create a positive, harmonious flow of energy that supports overall health and well-being. In addition, a clear energy field sharpens your intuition and inner guidance, making it easier to align with your higher self and make decisions that are aligned with your greatest good.
Smudging is also a powerful way to clear negative energy attachments and banish malevolent spirit entities.
One of the most time-tested and effective methods of clearing unwanted energy is smudging, or smoke cleansing — an ancient purification ritual steeped in history and practiced by various cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions around the world.
The Lightworker’s Mission To Heal The World
Do you feel a pull toward something greater, a spiritual mission, an inner calling to make the world a better place? Or perhaps you’ve noticed people in your life who seem to radiate compassion and empathy, who heal emotional wounds with their presence, or who inspire others to see the beauty in the world-even in the darkest of times.
These people are known in the metaphysical community as “lightworkers.”
Lightworkers are incarnated souls with a special spiritual mission — to change the world for the better. We act as conduits for divine love and light and the healing energy of spirit, striving to balance the energies of the planet.
The key mission of the lightworkers is to help shift human consciousness to a higher level of awareness. By embodying love, compassion and understanding, we serve as models for a more enlightened way of being. Our presence encourages others to awaken to their own potential and contribute to the collective evolution of humanity.
Lightworkers often work in subtle yet powerful ways. They do not always announce their mission or seek recognition for their efforts. Instead, they work quietly, spreading positivity through their actions, words and energy. Whether it’s offering a kind word to a stranger, creating art that inspires hope, or simply holding space for someone in need, their contributions are invaluable.
Energize Your Chakras With Lithotherapy
Lithotherapy, also known as crystal healing, is a popular alternative healing method for improving physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
But lithotherapy is far from a modern trend. This healing modality has its origins in ancient civilizations, and many indigenous cultures around the world have traditionally used stones and other natural elements in their healing practices, rituals and ceremonies.
Derived from the Greek words lithos (stone) and therapeia (healing), this ancient art harnesses the energies of crystals, stones and minerals that interact with the human energy field to promote energy flow, alignment and balance.
Lithotherapy uses the natural energies of the earth for a holistic approach to healing without the use of synthetic chemicals or man-made materials.
Today, lithotherapy is a staple of alternative medicine and energy healing, and the practice has gained widespread popularity in recent years as more people now incorporate crystals and stones into their lifestyle and spiritual practice.
Each crystal has unique metaphysical properties, allowing practitioners to choose stones that resonate with their specific needs and intentions. One of the most common uses is chakra energy work to clear, balance, and align the body’s energy centers, known as the chakras.
Each of the chakras corresponds to specific physical, mental, emotional or spiritual aspects of our being, and certain crystals, stones and minerals resonate with each of these energy centers to help restore energy flow, function, balance and wellness.
Using Crystals To Attract Love And Money
Crystals, with their metaphysical properties and magical allure, are a powerful tool for attracting love and prosperity as we enter a new year. By harnessing their unique energies to power our intentions, we can manifest more of the life we desire.
The metaphysical properties of crystals come from their unique molecular structure that resonates at certain frequencies. When we work with crystals, we are essentially aligning and amplifying our own energy field with these frequencies to amplify our intentions and manifest our desires by resonating more powerfully with the vibrations of the things we wish to attract into our lives.
Crystals and gemstones have been used for centuries in various cultures for their metaphysical power, healing properties, and ability to aid in magic and manifestation.
The ancient Egyptians valued crystals for both decorative and spiritual purposes. Egyptian priests and healers routinely used crystals for sacred rituals and healing, knowing that these stones had the power to connect them to the divine and balance energies.
In the Middle Ages, amethyst was often worn by the Christian clergy as a symbol of purity and spiritual wisdom. Garnet, another popular gemstone, was used as a talisman for protection during travel and to inspire love and devotion. In some Christian churches, chalices and crosses continue to be adorned with precious gems to symbolize sacred and divine qualities.
Abundance Rituals For A Prosperous 2025
The universal energy of renewal and infinite possibility beckons as we enter the year 2025. The beginning of a new year is a great time to release old energies that no longer serve us and to invite a new wave of abundance, prosperity and fulfillment into our lives.
New Year’s manifestation practices not only clarify and align our intentions from the start, but also release energetic blockages, allowing prosperity and well-being to flourish. Releasing the old creates space for new possibilities and opportunities to flow into our lives.
The modern idea of setting intentions or “New Year’s resolutions” has its roots in various traditions. For centuries, cultures around the world have marked the transition to a new year with spiritual, esoteric, and religious practices and ceremonies.
In Mesopotamia, for example, the Akitu festival celebrated the Spring Equinox as the beginning of a new year and included rituals to honor the gods and ensure a bountiful harvest.
In Babylonia, at the beginning of each year, people made promises to their deities to return borrowed items and pay their debts. These promises were a way to start the year fresh and in good standing with the higher realms.
The ancient Romans perpetuated the tradition by dedicating the month of January to Janus, the two-faced god who looked both backward and forward to symbolize “looking back” on the past year and “looking forward” to the New Year, making it a time for personal reflection and new beginnings.
Releasing Resistance Transforms Your Life
Many years ago I traveled to Sedona, Arizona to attend a teacher training program for The Sedona Method. Little did I know that I was about to discover one of the most important keys to a happy and fulfilling life.
I soon found myself in a conference room filled with psychiatrists, psychologists, and doctors from all over the world. I was a young mother and an novice psychic reader. I didn’t feel on the same professional level as the doctors and behavioral health professionals in the room. I felt intimidated, uncomfortable, and wanted nothing more than to go home.
But within the first few days of training, my worst nightmare came true. The trainer asked me to come to the front of the room and stand facing everyone.
“Oh no,” I thought to myself. “Why in the world did I even come to this class?”
He asked me to demonstrate one of the resistance release techniques he had taught us to a psychiatrist sitting in the front row. My knees were shaking and my heart was racing. But there was no escape, so I decided to just do it. It was a terrifying experience at the time, but it was also one of the best things that ever happened to me!
The Sedona Method is a technique designed to help you release the resistance created by painful or unwanted emotions, allowing you to experience greater personal freedom and well-being. The method involves a series of questions that help you become aware of your feelings and gently encourage you to release them. Resistance is often the cause of suffering in relationships, financial health, career, and all other areas of life.
The Mystical Purpose Of Daydreaming
In school, I was often reprimanded for daydreaming. My eyes would glaze over as I gazed into the distance, lost in a magical world of my own.
It amused the other children in the class and clearly frustrated my teachers, who mistook it for inattention or laziness, but even then I intuitively knew there was something valuable in my moments of mental wandering.
Little did I know that my frequent daydreaming opened doors not only to creativity and problem-solving, but also to spiritual connection, higher consciousness, and most importantly, manifestation.
Research has shown that daydreamers actually experience increased brain activity. Contrary to the common misconception that daydreaming equals a blank or stagnant mind, studies show that when we allow our minds to wander, we engage the problem-solving and creative areas of the brain.
Neurologically speaking, daydreaming activates the default mode network (DMN), a system in the brain that lights up when we are not focused on external tasks. The DMN connects us to deeper thoughts, memories, and emotions, often leading to sudden insights or realizations.
But what science describes as a purely neurological phenomenon is, in spirituality and metaphysics, a gateway to the higher self and beyond. When the mind wanders aimlessly, we enter an intermediate mental space — a threshold between the conscious and the subconscious. This is where creativity, intuition, psychic impressions, and spiritual connection are most accessible while awake.
