Deanna told me as we began the reading that she felt she was ready for a new relationship in her life.  Here are a few notes I took:
-M
ale in 12th Century in the Middle East
-Name:  Jamal

-From a very wealthy family
-At the age of 12, he decided to become a Monk/Holy man and travelled to the temple/mosque to train with a Spiritual Leader. Takes a vow of celibacy at this time.
-At 16, his Spiritual Leader dies and he is sent back home to his village, parents and 3 sisters.
-He quickly learns his father’s business (some type of precious metals, spices, etc) and is kind of a math genius.  His father learns to lean on him and he runs the business, as his sisters marry and leave home.
-There is a girl who his parents want him to marry and he is “not interested.”  (The exact words I heard.) He refuses to marry.
-At 25, his father dies suddenly and he lives out his days running the business, taking care of his mother for the rest of her life and becoming a type of spiritual leader for his village, as well.

Making the most of this reading involves asking a few questions and journaling:

-How to I honor Jamal’s past? What was in Jamal’s tool box that I can use today? 

-How do I put to work the wisdom learned from this snapshot into Jamal’s life?

-How do I look forward to my life now and in the future, as a combination of Jamal AND Deanna? (I also got very clearly:  How do I let go of having to defend myself? Deanna confirmed that this resonated.) I also shared the following:

Journaling around anything that particularly interests you or repels you would be advantageous.  Remember “what we resist, persists,” so write it out and get as much from the experience as you can!

At the end of the reading, Deanna said that she had visited Egypt a few years ago and was very emotional as she entered a Mosque. As this memory clicked into place, she realized that she had lived a life as a holy man in Egypt all those years ago.

I also invited her to journal any feelings around Jamal’s decision to remain celibate.  Perhaps be open to letting go of that part of her eternal self, so that she can find a new love in this present life.

I always go to Philip Permutt with my questions.  He is a British crystal expert who has written several books and has a great website, as well:  http://www.thecrystalhealer.co.uk/

                                                  

Or, if I am away from my office, I also have a site I enjoy:  www.crystalvaults.com  You can go to that site and put your search term in the search bar.  Here are a few of my favorites for Self-Love, Self-Confidence and Courage:

·         Rose Quartz

·         Citrine

·         Moonstone

·         Sunstone

·         Rhodochrosite

·         Carnelian

·         Clear Quartz

Clear quartz goes with just about any crystal prescription or recipe, because it amplifies or enhances any crystal you put with it.  Look for crystals on Etsy or a local rock shop or metaphysical store.  I have had really good luck on Etsy when I know what I’m looking for and carefully read the dimensions of the stone or the size of the beads.

 

You can even get beaded bracelets made out of most of the crystals listed above on Etsy and Amazon.  If you like to make jewelry, you can buy the beads and string them yourself!

Thanks for writing to ask about crystals.  I’ve been studying crystals for about twenty years and I love learning even more about Mother Nature's natural healers!

When PA wrote me, I responded and asked for her birth info, including birth date, time and place.  With this information, I charted her natal blueprint, which is a kind of snapshot of what the heavens looked like on the exact minute she was born.  From here, I can show her a type of map of her best qualities, motivations, inclinations and other tools for living her best life.

From her birth data, I learned the following, and keep in mind that I am only sharing a portion of what I learned:

Sun – Taurus in the 11th House of friendship, community and groups

Moon – Gemini in 12th House of dreams, inner-self, spirituality and higher purpose

Rising Sign – Cancer

Midheaven – Aries

With a Sun in Taurus in the 11th House, PA places a huge emphasis on her friends, her community and her tribe.  With a Taurean flavor, she is practical, dependable and works steadily to accomplish her goals. She is very interested in working to improve the lives of those around her.  Her Gemini Moon gives her a love for variety and new ideas.  She has a busy mind that loves to multitask and is happiest when aligned with a greater vision that matters to her on a Soul level.

With a Rising Sign in Cancer, PA is compassionate, protective and nurturing.  Some possible areas she might enjoy are: nurse, counselor, coach, social worker, HR manager, EMT, safety manager for manufacturing company or care giver for the elderly.

Her “career line” or Midheaven is in the sign of Aries, which is the first sign of the Zodiac, refers to Spring and being on the leading edge. It is also a Fire Sign, which means that PA loves to “fire others up” and may also enjoy a career where she inspires others to be their best selves.

When I shared this information (and much more regarding other planets, such as Pluto, Venus, Mercury and Mars) PA immediately beamed with excitement!  She is wanting to pursue a career as a social worker!   She was thrilled with the idea that her personal Soul Compass is going to guide her through her college years and into her career as a social worker.

How to Be Loving - What I'm Reading . . .


Last Fall I received an email from Danielle LaPorte about her new book, How to Be Loving: As Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up.  My response was “yes, I need this,” so I pre-ordered the book right away.

When it came, I saw how thick it was and immediately thought about all the other books on our bookshelves. But, I knew this one was different. 

Actually, I ordered two copies of this book, one for me and one to give away. After only 10 days reading a chapter a day, I gave the second copy to my best friend. This book is truly a treatise on how to heal your Inner Child with love, so you can live your best life. Every day I read a chapter and record the gems of wisdom I receive in my special journal that I set up just for this book.

A little more information from her publisher:

A heart centered life is a reflective life, and when we live more reflectively, we operate less reactively. With her signature relatability, Danielle LaPorte turns self-help right side out. “Don’t try to life hack your way through fear–that only creates more fear.” And stop suppressing your ego: “It will put up a fight, but the ego just wants to be loved–integrated, not segregated.”

The bestselling author explains why self-acceptance is counterculture, how virtues can turn into dangerous vices, and why healing is a nonlinear process that leads to gentleness. The most liberating message might be, “We don't need to focus on ‘fixing’ ourselves. As we focus on living from our heart center, anything that’s not in alignment with that light will fall away.”

Designed with reflective practices and inspirational mini posters, the tone is calm and steady, but there’s an urgency to this content. “The heart-mind is our greatest and often most neglected form of intelligence," teaches Danielle. “There’s no polarization in the heart space. It can hold fear and compassion, shadow and light–yours and theirs. We’re yearning to come into balance with love. It’s the antidote to polarization.”

LaPorte examines the misidentifications that cause suffering and helps us identify with our Divine Nature. “You are not the wound. You're the healer.” Her wisdom is relief in anxious times.

Ladies, I buy a LOT of books. I’ve read a LOT of spiritual books, hoping for something to heal my broken heart and guide me on a better way to live. And now I've found some relief. By applying the rituals and healing tools that Danielle shares, I am healing myself a little every day. My favorite passage so far is the “The Wound-to-Healing Sequence.” 

Brilliant and Magical and so, so Healing . . . Thank you, Danielle!

Moonology Diary - Planning My Manifesting With the Moon in 2023


This will be my fourth year to work with Yasmin Boland’s Moonology Diary.  It is the only diary or workbook that I have started on January 1 and continued using throughout the year.  Unless I am ill or out of town (and forgot to take it!) I consult or work in this diary every day.  It’s that powerful and helpful for my journey. Yasmin takes the idea of manifesting with the energy of the Moon to another level and gives you the tools and tips to apply it in your personal and professional lives.

I spent about an hour today reading the introduction and Yasmin has added quite a lot of information on the astrological weather for the year 2023. Last year’s intro was 18 pages and this year’s intro is 38 pages. She’s redesigned the book somewhat and it looks to be even more conducive to working with on a daily basis.  The weekly spreadsheet has been reduced to 1 page, to allow the other page to be used for a weekly affirmation and other astrological info for the week.

The most beneficial element that has supported me is the key called “How to Work with the Energy of this Full (New) Moon”.   When you follow your Rising Sign, which always starts at the 1st House in your Natal Chart, you can see where that Full or New Moon will hit for you personally.  Yasmin has a list of the Houses for Full Moons and New Moons and you can check to see what will be activated for you. 

Get your copy from HayHouse.com or Amazon.  When you get it, go to her website

https://magic.moonology.com/get-your-moonology-diary-2023

and input your order or receipt number and get access to her Moonology Diary bonuses. This includes Meditations, worksheets and access to live workshops or rituals she has planned for the year. These goodies are only available for those people who purchase her current Moonology Diary.

Yasmin is one of the most generous astrologers out there.  She has a Free Moonlite Collective Group and Free membership site for her followers.  (She also has a paid site for more goodies!) There is also a free FB site for those who buy the current year Moonology Diary.  She also has other free FB groups.

If you want even more Moonology goodness, you can also take Yasmin’s Moonology Certification Coursework with HayHouse.com.  I completed this class in 2021 and really enjoyed learning even more about manifesting with the Moon.

I’d love to hear what you think about the Moonology Diary and how you are using the magic of the Moon to manifest the life you want in 2023.

Courage

The card I drew yesterday from the Osho Zen deck was #8 Courage.  Usually called the Strength card in other decks, it's interesting how this deck focuses in on "Courage". Key words are courage, calmness, quiet and graceful leadership. 

The image on the card is a flower, sprouting from rocks.  It rises to meet the sun, without worry, without thinking it is less than the sun. It simply grows and exposes its majestic self. 

As a seed, it doesn't even know that the flower is possible! Yet, it cracks open and sprouts, beginning the process of creating the beautiful flower. When the seed cracks open, it could be washed away, not get enough sun, be damaged as a young sprout.  A million things could happen! But, the seed keeps going, opening to the possibilities.

"When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice:  we an either be resentful and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardship, or we can face the challenge and grow." (pg 18 Osho Zen Tarot Guidebook)

"Don't be guided by your lizard brain," one guidebook for another deck says.  It also mentions a warning about giving in to self-destructive tendencies!  Instead, bring forward your strength and compassion and use these qualities for good. 

There is really no point to fighting life's challenges and nothing to be gained by trying to avoid them. 

 In order to become the flower I am destined to be, I must go through them, GROW through them and stretch to reach the sun . . .

Crystals for Healing and Support – Petalite

 

Last week for my daily card draw, I drew the card “Petalite” from Colette Baron-Reid’s Crystal Oracle Deck.  I was not really familiar with this crystal, so I enjoyed reading about it. It's a beautiful crystal that comes in pink, white, gray or mixed colors.  Reminds me a little of Moonstone.

In Colette’s guidebook, she shared that Petalite supports us and provides:

“The ability to detach, the Observer, the impersonal quality of the Universe.”

“Petalite gives us the ability to step back and observe with detachment and neutrality.  There is a place within you that allows you to observe without emotion. See the world through the lens of acceptance.”

What if we were able to do just that?  Observe, with no judgment, no complaining, no overwhelm.  By calling upon the spirit of this crystal, we can step back and process what is in front of us and from that space, make a choice and take steps on our own timetable.

What if we are too close to a relationship?  Step back and observe the relationship between the two of you and pause. Sometimes, you don’t have to do anything.  Sometimes, you don’t have to change.  Just be patient.  Petalite can support this.

“Petalite is a stone that assists us in learning how to be the Observer.”

Another source talks about how Petalite supports the crown chakra and balances the pineal gland and both sides of the brain.  This helps us balance intuition and intellect.

My favorite crystal mentor, Philip Permutt,

You can meditate on the properties of this crystal, wear this crystal as jewelry or carry a piece in your pocket.  All are great ways to work with this crystal. I found a rough piece and a tumbled, smooth piece on Etsy and both arrived inside of a week.  

 


Finally, I checked my “crystal Bible” which is written by my favorite crystal mentor, Philip Permutt: 

“Originating in Brazil or Madagascar, Petalite combats clumsiness and gives you the courage of your convictions. Good for eyelids, eyebrows and muscle and joint flexibility. It can also bring peace of mind and spiritual connection to the Divine, angels, spirit guides and totem animals. Good for meditation, because it helps you stay grounded. . . and all psychic abilities.”

As I ask with EVERY crystal I love:  Where can I get a bucket of that?
