Ground, Ground, Ground

People have been talking to me regarding feeling dizzy, anxious, nausea, headaches, insomnia, memory issues, random pain, and prickly nerve type shocks and pain in their body. What does all of that sound like??? Yes-not being Grounded!!!!! (one of my favorite topics) Imagine a live power line that has been knocked down in a storm, and it is sparking and jumping all over the place, no longer grounded. This is what happens to our body when we are not grounded. Emotions, exhaustion, poor nutrition, working too hard, illness and avoidance can cause us to become ungrounded. (sound like the Holidays for some of you?) Couple that with more solar flares and other energetic happenings around the Globe, and it is the cause for many to not be grounded right now. The easiest way to get grounded is go outside barefoot and walk around in the dirt or grass, even bury your feet in the dirt. You can also just be amongst Nature and all of the negative ions found there, and be grounded. Visualizing your feet with roots going deep within Mother Earth, taking an Epsom Salt bath, or doing Reiki on your feet in order to pull the energy downward. Ask your Guides and Angels to allow you to feel comfortable in your body so you can ground, and to release anything that is non-beneficial to you. You can grab Smokey Quartz and place it/them at your feel and allow the vibration to ground you, as well as spiritually shield you from other's energies. Smokey Quartz can also be put in the Epsom Salt bath for an amazing grounding soak. (a few drops of Lavender EO will put it over the top!) If you don't have Smokey Quartz in your tool box, you can also use Black Tourmaline, Hematite or Tiger's Eye. You may have to do grounding exercises a few times a day, but it become second nature to you eventually. Tap into how you are feeling, notice your reactions throughout the day, and chances are that you will find that you are not grounded.  

Unmanageable Abundance?

Abundance is a wonderful aspect to bring into your life, right?  YES! But, what happens with that abundance, how it is managed into life can make a huge difference on a daily basis. This is the lesson that I am currently learning.....Going through many meditations, creating Crystal and Reiki Grids, breathing in Intentions, and let's face it-just plain old hard work, I have been able to create abundance in my life. The issue now is that my life has become so large that I am having issues managing my work, life and spiritual abundance. 

Get out the mini violins, right!?  Well, honestly, that is what it feels like lately. I have this huge life and I cannot enjoy it. I have been lost in the whirlwind of standing in my own abundance, and now I am leaning it out so I can breathe it in, enjoy it, and truly live it. Life can be just as unmanageable with chaos as it can be with wonderful things. To be  able to step back and acknowledge this is difficult, yet humbling at the same time. I have been able to accept my Life Purpose and step out of my comfort zone to bring it to those who will benefit by it. At the same time, my creative, family, spiritual and personal life has been able to open up and expand beyond what I ever thought was possible. 

In my previous career at Starbuck's, we called it PIAT-Putting It All Together. You take everything that was taught during training and put it together and show what you learned and how you will use it to succeed and lead properly. Well, I am doing my own sort of PIAT these days, as I write down all of the wonderful things that are included in my life abundance, and also writing down any struggles that  have come with that. A sort of a pro/con list. The result is that I am able to see how I can 'tweak' my life in order to have everything that I want to keep fit in nicely. Anything too overwhelming is taken out, or a plan to manage it is put into place. The result is that I am going to be able to sit back and enjoy everything that The Universe has brought me, and I will have  more room to bring in even more abundance!

Crystals for the Beginning of the Holiday Season

Are you gearing up for the Holidays? Whatever that may look like for you, it may bring a different energy to your days. Crystals can support you through that. I choose Citrine, Black Tourmaline and Hematite for their consistent vibrations to keep me more Crystalline all day long....Citrine is for joy, a higher energy since the weather is changing and slowing us down a bit, for promoting digestion (ideas, emotions and food), a wonderful energy for the Solar Plexus Chakra, and it just adds a little shine to everything! Black Tourmaline and Hematite are a super grounding duo, as well as vibrating through any strong energies coming your way from others and the environment. They are also great for the Root and Earth Star Chakras, keeping you firmly grounded, healthy and in the present moment. Grab these and put them in your pocket, car, purse or wherever they will be closest to you throughout the day. Be careful with the Citrine at night, for it may be a bit too energizing for you.  Jess
