Earth Star Chakra

The Earth Star Chakra is located about 6 to 36 inches below your feet. This chakra is one of the additional chakras that is not counted in the normal 7 chakra system most have come to know. It is not part of your physical body, but it part of your etheric body. This chakra aligns you with the magnetic core of Mother Earth and connects you with Mother Gaia. This chakra keeps the energies of each individual in a harmonious relationship with the planet and keeps the body anchored in the time and space coordinates of this planet.

The earth star chakra meanings relate to the very foundation of your being within your everyday life, and relates to energy and is your anchor into physicality. It is very important for everyone, but especially for spiritual people.

The properties of the earth star chakra are what keep you grounded and protected and helps keep your aura secure in this physical world. So many of our day to day activities have the potential to unground us and basically make us feel like our head is way up in the clouds and our feet are not on the ground. When you have no real contact with the Earth, you can get very ungrounded; using computers for long periods of time, driving around in your vehicle, never going outside. You don’t have to have your bare free on the grass to get grounded, but you do need at least 5-10 minutes outside with your feet on the ground (can have socks and shoes on) to help you get properly grounded. Spiritual work can also make you ungrounded, so after any session of any form of spiritual work, make sure you ground yourself through a physical connection to the Earth by going outside.

The traditional color of the earth star chakra is black and dark brown, but just like all of the other chakras, crystals of different colors can help with this chakra as well. The best crystals for this chakra are black obsidian, black onyx, apache tears and black tourmaline. My personal favorite is black tourmaline.

Book Review: Twelve Lessons

The book Twelve Lessons by Kate Spencer can really change your life! I loved this book and totally could not put it down, the first, the second or the third time I read this book. I will also be reading this book many more times in the future and get something new out of the book each time I read it. Kate has a way of really keeping the reader intrigued and wanting to find out what happens next. If you pick up this book, I promise you will not regret it!

The first time I read this book, I was on a very rocky path and I found the book at a time when I really needed it. I spent three days reading this book, the first time through and just couldn't put it down. I'd read The Secret before. And while I've seen several people compare this book to The Secret, this book is so much better! It actually takes you through a basically real life example of how to use and apply the principles in The Secret, but in a more easily applicable form that we can each learn and apply to our lives starting today! And to help you apply these lessons, over the next 12 weeks, I am going to write a post for each lesson in the book, giving examples of how to apply it and how it has helped in my life. Kate is also posting these lessons on her blog as well.

On the cover of the book is the simple question, "What if you had one year to change your life?" This question applies to anything and everything life can throw at you, but you need to learn how to deal with it all and take it with your best foot forward. Stephanie, the main character in this book, starts out with what she "thinks" is a very happy life, but soon admits its all a facade to keep up with the Joneses. Is life really that important to you that you need to impress everyone around you and not yourself? Do you really need to have the best of everything the second it is released on the market? In the beginning of this book, that is exactly what Stephanie thought. She had to have the best of everything, which also included a mountain of debt she couldn't even pay!

Well, on New Year's Eve, she meets a psychic, who pulls 12 tarot cards for Stephanie, representing the 12 lessons she has to learn over the next 12 months. But that night, she only sees the first card, because everything the psychic said scares Stephanie, because how is it possible that someone who doesn't even know you, knows more about your life than you do?! When things start unraveling more and more for Stephanie, and she learns how right the psychic was, she has to go back to see her and find out what the rest of her lessons are. She then does apply these lessons to her life over the next 11 months and it's like her life changes miraculously!! And you can also apply these same 12 lessons to your life and watch it change as well!

So go pick up the book today! It's available in both Kindle and paperback. Kate has also prepared a Twelve Lessons Journal to go along with the book, also available in Kindle and paperback.  Or if you would like your own 12 lessons to apply over the next 12 months, purchase your reading.

Group Healing Session Membership Site

I have a dream of helping everyone heal as much as humanly possible in the most natural ways possible. I am a Usui and Tibetan Reiki Master Healer, a crystal healer and I love using other methods, such as essential oils, angels and anything that just pops into my head during a healing. As a part of this dream, I want to create a group healing session that is available by monthly membership. I am offering this monthly membership as a trial for 30 days at $4.99, then $19.99 a month after that. There is also a Facebook group created for the monthly membership for chatting and sharing your experiences.



Each week there will be 4 healing sessions with specific intentions for each healing.

• Monday - Financial Abundance Healing
• Wednesday - Physical and Emotional Healing
• Friday - Each chakra, one per week in order - Earth Star, Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, Crown, Soul Star; after doing all in order, it will start over again :)
• Saturday - group idea or I'll test what's best for the group

For each healing, I will use my abilities to test what is needed to be used (i.e. crystals, healing modalities, essential oils). I will post what was used right and any insights after each healing session has occurred in the Facebook group.  The members of the group are invited to send healing to the other group members, but it is not required. You also do not have to participate live, all sessions will be available for download afterwards.

All sessions will be at 6:30pm USA East Coast time. If this interests you, please click the subscribe button below and sign up. Once I have your information, I will add you to the Facebook group :)

The Invitation

THE INVITATION by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Achieving Your Dreams & Goals

We have to make it through the hard times of our pasts to achieve our dreams and goals. As much as we may not believe it, life only serves us what we can handle. You may think that it is more than you handle at the time, but we always make it through, don't we?!? The hand you are dealt, the plate you are served, really is nothing more than you can handle. It is always an obstacle to achieving your dreams and goals, but something you must do in order to get to the end goal.

I know for a fact how hard life can be. I've been dealt some pretty yucky hands in my time and I haven't been here all that long. But I also know that each one of those hands had a lesson that I needed to learn. Some of those hands I've been dealt more than once because I didn't learn the lesson properly the first time around. But once I realized the lesson to be learned, you can bet I learned it, applied it to the situation and did my best to move on. And the more lessons you learn, the better the future you are providing for yourself, your family and those around you is that much better.

Sometimes the lessons are cut and dry, others you have to continue to struggle before you find out what the lesson really is. I know for me, there are some lessons that it took me a while to learn, like learning how to trust the right person. I'm a very caring person and have a hard not helping someone out. But in my efforts to help others, I've been taught lessons in the process, mainly that these people are only using me. And for me, this has always been a hard lesson to learn. Some people I have a very hard time trusting because I know right from the beginning I'm being used. Other people I can't tell, until the person is basically done with me and just disappears from my life when I was counting on that person to be there. But these lessons are all a part of the learning process to help us become who we need to be to really achieve our dreams and goals.

This song I heard while questioning my path one day. It just confirmed that I'm in the right place at the right time. We all always are in the right place at the right time. Have you ever questioned why you got all the green lights one day while going to work, then the next day you got all the red lights?!? Yes it could be an issue of your timing, but it is also divine timing saving you from something, possibly an accident or trying to teach you patience. Patience is the biggest lesson we all struggle with. We live in a world of instant gratification and not having something we want right now just makes us even more impatient. So the universe works harder day in and day out to teach us the lesson of patience. Then when we finally learn that lesson, we open up our flow to open more and more doors for us. And in order to achieve our dreams and goals, we must learn the valuable lesson of patience. Nothing worth having comes easily. And the same goes for our dreams. We can continue to dream and make the dream bigger and bigger each day. Add more details, and none of that is going to appear overnight. So we need the valuable lesson of patience even more.

Now that you've figured out the hand you've been dealt, learned the lessons that needed to be learned, especially patience, it's time to really go for those dreams and goals! The only thing standing in your way now is YOU. Use your obstacles as stepping stones to get to the next one and pretty soon, you'll be achieving your dreams and goals even faster than you believe is possible!! This is the path I am on and it's pretty darn amazing!! There are days that I never thought I'd be here, but I'm here and I'm loving it and I love life!! So get out there and live it! Live the best life possible and achieve your dreams and goals as the best person you can be.

Full Moon Rituals

I get asked every so often to share my full moon rituals. So I thought I would share my list of things I do for most full moons. There are times I don't feel it is necessary to do something for the full moon because of where I am personally in my life. You can do all of these rituals, just pick and choose what you want to do, or not do any of them because they simply do not resonate with you.

• Make a list of all of the things you are looking to release from your life. I always make this list in present tense sentence form, starting with "I release" and ending with "for the highest and greatest good". I usually write out the list on the day of the full moon. I'll then go outside, read the list under the full moon (depending on the weather), then also depending on the weather, burn or bury the list. NOTE: Always use fire safety procedures when burning the list. It has been super windy here lately, so I haven't been able to burn my list.
• Make a list of all of the things you want to manifest into your life. I also make this list in present tense sentence form, starting each sentence with "I AM so grateful for". I do the same thing with this list as I do with the releasing list. 
• Something else I've recently started is carrying moonstone with me for the day before, of, and after the full moon to enhance the effects of the full moon energy. I also sleep with this moonstone either underneath or beside my pillow each night. I absolutely love the effects I have of moonstone - amazing dreams, some are prophetical, others are just happy dreams. 
• Before I go to sleep on the night of the full moon, after I've gotten into bed, I say "I now release all that does not serve my highest and greatest good." I do this every month on the full moon only, either the night of the full moon, or the night before the full moon is happening. I've seen so much release from my life by doing this specific release, so I know it works. The main thing I usually release is people that are no longer serving my highest good and just absorbing my time and energy, so they no longer have a need in my life. 
• During the months when it is warm enough, I also love enjoying sitting outside under the moon in deep meditation with her energies. I don't feel the same energies doing this inside from a window, so I usually only do this when it's warm enough outside to comfortably sit and bask in the rays of the moon.
  
  
  
  Please NOTE: What works for one person may not work for another. These are just suggestions of what I do either for each full moon or on occasion at the full moon, and I'm sharing because I keep getting asked about what I do, so I thought it would be much easier to refer each one who asks to a blog post than rewriting it every time. Please use your intuition on what works for you best. If you have ideas to add that we can share with others, please feel free to comment and share them with me. I'd love to add more ideas to the list for those who want more ideas to choose from.
