Two moons and a portal

Two moons and a portal

Two moons and a portal…

From the 28th of July, the Lion’s Gate is wide open and everything aligns perfectly. The stars, the Fixed Star Sirius, Earth, and the Orion constellation are all aligned in the sky.

“The reason it’s called the ‘Lion’s Gate Portal’ is because it happens during the Leo season. On August 1st we have the Sturgeon Full moon and at the end of August the blue full moon. In between we have the Lion’s Gate.

It’s the best time to meditate and manifest. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Picture yourself in your favorite spot and say the Reiki principles, loud or in your mind.

  1. Just for today, do not worry.
  2. Just for today, do not anger.
  3. Earn your living honestly.
  4. Honor your parents, teachers, and elders.
  5. Show gratitude to every living thing.

I am saying these or similar affirmations in the morning and it works well. You should give it a go. Maybe you are at a point in your life, where you need a little help to get balanced, to find yourself, or need a little peace emotionally, or you need some energetic boost.

The reason I am sharing all this with you is because  I want to give you a gift. August 8th is my birthday and I want to celebrate with you. You see the whole month of August is on High energy and it has a very High frequency. I want you to be part of it, to experience the flow of free energy in your body. I like to offer a distance REIKI session with 43 percent off! Why 43? Because I am turning 43. Use coupon code birthday43 at checkout!

Top 5 things to  do for the New Moon in Libra

Top 5 things to do for the New Moon in Libra

TOP 5 things to do for the NEW MOON

When you think about the New Moon… What comes first to mind? A new phase in life, a new page is turning… So what’s best to do for this coming Monday?

New Moon on Monday -make notes for yourself or use a journal. I use my lunar diary to make it easy. It’s the preference, not sponsored.

  1. Cleanse yourself and your space 
  2. Have your crystals saged 
  3. Create a grid for Monday and activate it
  4. Focus on the New Moon in Libra ( pay close attention to your friends. special friendships)
  5. Bring more beauty and balance to your life

From Monday on there are many opportunities in front of you… From new connections, business opportunities, new purchases, and balancing life it’s all put at once in front of you!

If you want to know what best crystals to use for this new Moon… You can’t go wrong with ROSE QUARTZ, CLEAR QUARTZ POINTS, SELENITE, AMETHYST, and BLUE KYANITE.

Rose Quartz – for love and friendships

Quartz points -amplification

Selenite – absorption of negative energy /harmonious space /creating a safe space

Blue Kyanite- good communication, self-expression, spirituality

If this is the first time you create a crystal grid for yourself, start with the center stone…In this case the SELENITE TOWER.  Now start to go around with the tumbled stones and points. You don’t need to use heart shape crystals if you don’t have any. Tumbles stones will do the job as well quite well. Make sure to place the clear quartz mini points in between each crystal. They do a fantastic job to amplify the grid and manifesting faster.

At this point, once it’s all arranged to your liking, you need to activate the grid. If you ask how to do that it’s very easy. GRID ACTiVATION TIME!

Three things to do!

  1. Rub your hands together and hoove your power hand on top of the grid (the Power hand is the hand that gave the most energy – Once you rub them together and you pull them a bit apart, you feel that you build a field of energy. !)
  2. close your eyes and start manifesting while holding your hands over the grid
  3. Activate each stone with the center stone and place it back in the center- Do not move the grids anymore from now on until your manifestation was fulfilled.

NEW MOON MEANING! It’s the first phase of the moon transformation over a month period. So here is what you need to do and know!

-set new goals

-starting a new phase in your life

-opening a new business 

-manifesting a new desire

 

So, what are you manifesting for this New Moon?

XO,

Lorena

 

 

 

 

Malakos

Malakos

Malakos is known as the mirror of the soul. Malakos is the gorgeous crystal Malachite. From the Greek word soft it was and is always special. Holding great shades of green, malachite is pure magic. A crystal that does great in all its shapes. It has its charm unpolished but polished it reaches another level! Once it’s polished, you can actually see the gorgeous pattern. In ancient Greece, and Egypt Malachite was used as a protection stone and to extract green paint. In Russia, it was used by the czars to decorate the inside of castles to protect them from the evil eye. Malachites come from many places like Russia, Romania, Zambia, and Mexico.

Cleopatra used the green Malachite as her protection makeup.

The Czars in Russia used it for decoration inside the palaces and even had a malachite room in the winter Palace. It’s definitely gorgeous. Imagine the vibes!

But I bet you wonder how to use malachite… For sure as great as it looks, if you love hot baths, a malachite tub is not for you! It might look great, but over time cracks will appear in the malachite… Malachite, does not like water. Malachite is great for absorbing negative energy around you. It also calms your mind and gives a good feeling. The pattern has a hypnotic effect and makes you feel good inside. It also builds confidence and helps on the emotional level, when is also you might feel helpless, worthless, or empty. It is also a great helper when it comes to back pain.

Malachite is a stone of transformation and it can take your energy to another level. It has feminine energy that will transform into masculine energy if needed. Basically, this stone is your to-go stone if you need protection, support on all levels, emotional, mental, physical, guidance and positivity.

Malachite protects in fear situations and is great to have when flying, driving, etc…Malachite has many different names….you know it’s called Stone of transformation, also a soft healer but it’s also a stone used in the past by midwives. It protects women during birthing, pregnancy, and monthly period pain.

Malachite is fantastic when it comes to blood pressure, and deals with the heart chakra. Since it’s a healer stone, it eases the trembles when it comes to Parkinson’s.

Now, you see Malachite is very versatile and great to use in many different areas, but it is really fascinating to use when it comes to abundance and wealth. That is one of the reasons I love to work with Malachite and transform them into a piece of art, wearable art. And so I want to combine my love of threads with this amazing stone. I will use malachite slabs and incorporate them with Romanian Point Lace, and 3D bullion elements and create a unique necklace.

If you ever wondered how I start a necklace that involves crystals…Here we go, first I cleanse and charge the crystal, after that, I start to incorporate it into the design.  If it’s a custom design I incorporate the crystal into a grid as a center stone.

So you see, it does not matter, what goal you will wear for your malachite necklace, love, wealth, health, happiness, etc… it will always be a benefit to you!

Now the big question is what color should I combine with malachite? I love both salmon and light beige (has a silver touch to it).

If you visit my Instagram HERE  You can find a reel about other great Malachite properties! So, let me know in the comment section what color you would pick salmon or beige!

Three ways to connect with your crystals

Three ways to connect with your crystals

Crystals are as old as the world and are a history recorder… Connecting with them might seem impossible….! But there are simple ways to connect with them. 

If you are new to crystals and the crystal world… you can go into a crystal store and see how you are vibing with them. See what crystal speaks to you and your energy. How do you do that? Simple- pick it up close your eyes and see if something happens with your energy, your feelings, etc…

Start with easy crystals like Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, or Amethyst… In the picture above, I am holding a Clear Quartz flame. 

Here are the three simple ways to connect with your crystals! 

  • Hold the crystal in your hand and meditate 
  • Wear a crystal mala necklace – see image below
  • Drink crystal-charged water or use an orgone plate to charge your water- see the last image This is a malachite, apatite, black obsidian mala necklace. If you want to know what this necklace does, is to give you positive energy and motivation. Each, crystal has a specific, job to do! There is more info on this specific necklace, in the store. CHECK HEREHERE
  • You can also connect with crystals by drinking crystal-charged water.  I like to use a combo of amethyst, rose quartz, clear quartz, and green aventurine.

Let me know about your first expericence with crystals and how you connected with them. 

 

Stay original!

Yule

Yule

 

Yule in Australia is so different from that in the northern hemisphere. You ask why?!♥

Simply the fact that we have Yule the starts June 21!You feel an energetic change that is in the air. Everything feels fresh and crisp. Bees roam the fields and flowers  in our garden. We are celebrating the sun, mother nature…. Yellow flowers are everywhere, a sign of abundance.

Enjoying time with the family  is a must to welcome Yule also to take time to enjoy the sun!

I try to have yellow flowers around me at this time of the year, or drief citrus, like these for a refreshing orange tea!

Did you actually know the Yule comes fromthe Germanic peooke (todays Germany) tbe celebrated and still do have alot of traditions regards this time of the year, but of course during winter in the northern hemisphere. A lot of hot spicy wine, citrus, games and welcoming the sun! In Germany will will hear a lot about Yulefest abd see many bond fires specially in the country area.

Do you celebrate Yule? If yes, what do you do?
