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,

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!

Lapis Lazuli….

Lapis Lazuli….

Since the beginning of time, lapis lazuli is a beloved stone… Cleopatra was in love with this stone.

Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Lapis lazuli is a wisdom stone with many different minerals in it, like blue lazurite, sparkly pyrite, cloudy white calcite, and other minerals.

The deep blue colour is celestial and hypnotising. The word Lapis means stone and from the Persian word Lazhward meaning blue. The color meaning of Lapis lazuli was also used in several languages including Spanish and Portuguese Azul. Lapis Lazuli is a tually so important, that Michelangelo grounds it up to create blue paint called ultramarine that brings color and brings the robes of Mary of Nazareth painted on church walls. Cleopatra in her make-up and for nail polish as well as for her jewelry.

Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

It is great as it protection from negative energetic and psychic attacks,  it shields you with deep peace,reveals inner truth, harmony and honesty, let’s you have compassion, self – awareness, and self – expression. It’s a great Stone to align your throat chakra and to clear up communication. Lapis lazuli is an enlightening stone.

Lapis lazuli from south America
Lapis lazuli from Pakistan 🇵🇰

So let’s have a conversation on lapis lazuli without any religious views, political options, etc….

Tell me how you use this fantastic blue stone and why it’s one of your favourite healing stones …I love to use a heart shape lapis lazuli for my chakra grids.

Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher

If you think about Dreamcatchers, what do you remember or what do you know about? Dreamcatchers originate, from the Native Americans and were first only in a few tribes. They were used in the tipis and were always placed above the sleeping area or the entrance of the tipi. The concept of the Dreamcatcher is to have a circle with a specific geometrical shape inside to catch a nightmare as well as to trap it. The idea is that once the dream is in the catcher the wind will take it away! You have probably seen that many original dreamcatchers have feathers and gemstone beads like Turquoise for protection, or apache tears, black obsidian, and quartz of course. Some had sage leaves on them that would have been changed regularly.

The topic of dreamcatchers is fantastic. The reason, I am interested in dreamcatchers, is my little one. She is six and had some nightmares. Now, I am about to create a dreamcatcher, in Romanian Point Lace of course for her. 

I am creating it in red because red is one of her favorite colors. I am using many shades of red and the size of the catcher is just below 20cm.

I am using different cord sizes as you see below and a few different fillings. The concept of the catcher is to combine a few different fillings harmonically.

If you look at the image, I created a spider wheel, as part of the filling. The reason I included it, was because, the original dreamcatchers, were also called spiders women. Spider-woman would catch and trap the dreams. I am still not sure how I would hang it, but I am sure it will be in an artistic way. I actually think to frame, in an open frame. so the dreams, get trapped and I can smudge them later on…..

At the moment it’s still just an idea! Nothing is set in stone! On that hand, I also want to say that this pattern, is special.

I will gift it to my followers and to those who love to create point lace…

If you are interested in the pattern get in touch, subscribe to that newsletter so you are on the list! Don’t miss out!
