Crystal of the Day Challenge

I am so happy I decided to do this challenge. It helped to reconnect with some crystals I hadn't used in a while, and also some crystals I had never used before. I really love introducing new crystals into my routine.

The energy of every single crystal is different and can help each person in different ways. Each person also connects to each crystal differently. The same crystal might do one thing for me and something else for you. It is all about the vibration and energy present in each one and what you personally need the crystal to do for you.

Doing a meditation and/or healing of some sort with crystals also helps enhance the energy of the meditation and/or healing. I'm the type of person that gets messages during my meditations and I got a different message each day from each crystal. It was something I needed to hear as well.

I am still going to keep my medicine pouch on me with crystals in that I really feel that I need. But also every once in a while, I'll also go through my bowl of crystals and pick a random one to use for the day. I love the connections and learning new things! Plus I may find a new crystal that I may need to carry with me regularly for a little while.

Crystal of the Day

Today I pulled an amethyst crystal and purposely pulled a malachite as well.

I've been feeling a lot of pent up anger coming up lately. I know it is partly because of this group healing that I am in and this week we are working on the throat chakra. I know the throat chakra is blue crystals, but I really felt the need to have the malachite and the amethyst is what came up for today. There is a reason for why I pull the crystal I pull, no coincidences. So today I really need the amethyst as well.

I'm going to do a meditation with the two stones here soon. I have done a meditation with each stone this week. And each meditation has given me messages that I needed for that day.

I'm really looking forward to using these two stones for the remainder of today.

Crystal of the Day

Today ended up being two crystals: Blue Kyanite and a light blue Calcite. They are basically the only two rough cut stones in my entire bowl, everything else is tumbled stones, except for the 4 agate slices in there. These two basically stuck together when grabbing for a crystal this morning.

I love using both of these stones. They both seem to have a calming effect on me. The calcite has always helped me retain information better when I need to learn it the best, which reminds me, I need to start carrying my calcite with me during the day every day, but especially when I am doing my studying.

As for what the kyanite does for me, it's one of those that is hard to put into words. But it is also a stone that I really know when I need to be carrying it with me. And today was one of those days. I just need it on me. I love how crystals seem to have a mind of their own too and they know when you need them before you do.

Crystals had become my best friend a long time ago, then my life got turned upside down and they got pushed to the side. I still had them, just not out everyday, and definitely not even using them at all. Then a few weeks ago, I had a calling to start using them again regularly. I made myself a medicine pouch that I carry with me all day long on my person, that includes some stones that I know I need just for that day or that I need to carry long term. Some of these stones will be in the bag for quite a while. I'll just know when I'm done with them and they can go back into my collection of stones. But I am so happy that I finally got back into the crystals again. It has given me a perspective on life that I thought I had lost when my life got turned upside down several months ago.

Crystal a Day

Today's crystal of the day is Angelite. I already carry one of these stones with me daily in my medicine bag. Using this crystal today can only bring more good things.

I love Angelite. It brings a special connection to my angels and I get so many great messages and visions with this special crystal. I look forward to spending my day with Angelite and some extra meditations with this crystal.

Crystal a Day

Today's crystal is some form of a yellow crystal. I'm really not sure what it is.

 It has some sparkles in it like goldstone usually does, but it's not a goldstone, at least from the information I can find. It also has some special marks of its own. I love seeing the marks inside a crystal showing it's own personality. While meditating with this crystal, I got a special energy in my solar plexus and heart chakras. I love feeling energy like this in my chakras. It is a great healing feeling. I know I have tons of healing to do and it is something I work on every day.

Crystal a Day

My crystal for today is a white quartz. At first I thought it was a clear quartz, but I found one of my clear quartz stones and it was much whiter in color and not completely clear like the clear quartz.

While carrying this crystal and meditating with it, I felt a lot of the same crystal properties as clear quartz. It made it for a great day!

Crystal a Day

Today's crystal is moss agate.

I really like this crystal. It doesn't come up in the picture like the crystal really is. I really need to find a new way of photographing my crystals so they show what the crystal really looks like. This crystal is a really dark green and very pretty. It has a great energy that I really enjoyed carrying with me today.

Over the past few months, I've been releasing a lot of stuff, mostly from my heart, so I've been super drawn to anything green. Pulling a green crystal this morning really resonated with me as well. I found myself making sure this crystal was in my pocket and just holding it in my hand.

I really love crystals and the energy that comes from crystals!

Crystal a Day

I read another blog about pulling a crystal out of a bag once a day and using that crystal for the day. I have decided to use this idea for the next 7 days and post it here on my blog the crystal I pull. I don't have a bag big enough for the amount of crystals I have to use, so I put them in a bowl and I really like being able to display them in the bowl too.

Here is my crystal for today:

This is a form of jasper and I'm really looking forward to using it for the day. I felt a very positive energy while picking it out of the bowl this morning. I will carry it in my pocket today, then return it to the bowl tonight and pick a new crystal tomorrow.

Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 7

Continue using the same affirmation you started with on day 1.  Remember, it can be your own or the one I'm using.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Day 1

Venus Self Renewal, Day 3

Day 3 of 40 Days of Venus Self Renewal: An uncovering. Write down 10 or more things you wish to cultivate or strengthen within yourself and your life during this journey. Like yesterday, keep a self-empowered focus. Consider your core desires (what you truly want to embody and experience), what honors your authentic worth, what feels wholeheartedly good for your being, what is life-enhancing for you, what fuels your self-love and self-care tanks, what uplifts you and what moves you into positively powerful action.

Use markers, pencils or other materials to circle or highlight words that jump out for you. 

I am taking these posts from a Facebook page I follow: www.facebook.com/jelenamrkich but I would really love for you to follow along with me on this journey and share your journey here. This journey is absolutely perfect for each of us for this new year and being a new YOU.  

Here is a list of all of the other posts in this journey:

Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 1

Here is what you need: a pen or pencil, a notebook or journal and a mirror.

You will need one affirmation that you will use each day for the next 21 days. You can use your own or use the one I'm going to use.

Affirmation: I love myself unconditionally. I love my body and all of its flaws. I am unique and perfect just the way I am. Love comes to me naturally and I know just how to share my love with those who I come into contact with.

Step 1: Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Chant OM 21 times to help clear your mind and raise your personal vibration. Then say the affirmation out loud 21 times to yourself in the mirror.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Go about the rest of your day. If any negative thoughts come up about your affirmation, stop, acknowledge those feelings and then just let them go. If you need to, repeat your affirmation to yourself a few times to help release the negativity you may have.
