Full Moon In Pisces ~ August 26th, 2018

August’s Full Moon in Pisces has many of us delving into the deep, mystical depths of our soul as we search for the solutions to the deepest darkest challenges we encounter as well as how to manifest our life purpose dreams into reality. The need to go on a solitary hermit-like journey within is most likely way too strong to ignore this month. We are now in the Sun sign of Virgo, and cannot deny the call to action of finding one’s purpose and grounding that purposeful purpose into the physical. Virgo’s uncanny attention to detail, discipline and strong willpower will help drive the intuitive guidance and wisdom from Pisces into a reality. The combination of these two astrological signs can assist those who have been stuck and stagnate wondering what their purpose is and how to go about manifesting their “Dream Life” into the physical plane. The Full Moon in August will take place on Sunday, August 26th, 2018 at 7:56am eastern.

The summer of 2018 has been a bit wonky has it not? We are on the other side of the 3 recent eclipses, Mercury has gone direct yet we are still dealing with Chiron, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto which are all still retrograde. To say things may have been a bit crazy, emotional, challenging and enlightening is probably an understatement. It’s important remember that our decision to incarnate at this time is no coincidence. Those who are here living on planet Earth, most certainly are here to learn and grow. The opportunities for soul growth and evolution are to be acted upon individually for each soul. Yes, there are mass events that influence us all to come together, however, the present cosmic influences are here to assist each one of us as individual soul entities to learn, grow and heal karma not only from the current lifetime but many lifetimes as well. The ancestral lineage karma that has been passed on for many generations is ripe and ready for us to heal, shift and transform for ourselves and generations past and future.

Another cosmic event that deserves attention is the grand Earth trine that is also taking place as well. A grand trine is a geometric pattern of 3 planets that form an equilateral triangle. These 3 planets are usually all of the same element. The current trine is made of the element of earth. The planets/signs are:

Sun ~ Virgo ~ in service to loved ones and humanity, impeccable worker

Uranus ~ Taurus ~ stability, provider, beauty in earthly pleasures

Saturn ~ Capricorn ~ master architect, loyal, hard working

With these 3 strong earth elements, we are given the opportunity to set our deepest most wildest dreams into motion at this time. You could say it’s a cosmic window of opportunity. You may find yourself being very practical, grounded, disciplined, sensual and centered because of this grand trine earthy influence.

There are a few things you can do at this time to ride this powerful current cosmic wave of opportunity. Below are a few suggestions that can be of assistance during this Full Moon.

Suggestions

• Meditate
• Write down your biggest, baddest, kicka@# goals
• Pay attention to your dreams and write them down if you remember them
• Get physical ~ exercise, spend time out in nature 
• Connect with the element of earth ~ crystals, herbs, plants and eat root vegetables
• Be proactive when your unhealthy habits come to the surface, they are ready to be healed and transformed
• Carry earth(Virgo) amazonite, carnelian, howlite and water(Pisces) crystals aquamarine, laboradite, moonstone, fluorite with you 
• Resist Pisces’ urge to go underground and withdraw from society and avoid challenges
• Embrace and acknowledge your heightened intuitive senses at this time courtesy of the Full Moon and Pisces’ influence
• Set time aside to connect with the mystical side of yourself, ask questions, get to know the inner self
• If something is coming up to be released, let it go, bless it first with gratitude and then trust in the timing of the letting go
• Burn a purple candle for intuition/guidance and red/brown candle for grounding your intention/vision into the physical 
• Wear essential oils such as frankincense, myrrh, lavender, patchouli and bergamot 
• If you find yourself overly emotional, acknowledge your feelings, feel them and then take a look at why you’re triggered
• Put your crystals outside during the Full Moon to soak up the luminous lunar energy
• Balance your third eye and root chakras

All Full Moon events are powerful and purposeful for each and every one of us. It is truly beneficial for us to be conscious of the cosmic frequencies so that we may utilize them for the evolution of our souls, the personal fulfillment within our purposes and to share our light, love and wisdom with those we encounter. 

May you be blessed beyond measure,

5 Things That Can Block Your Psychic Abilities

When it comes to developing psychic abilities, most people are focused on what they can do to enhance their psychic abilities. However, many are doing things that in fact, are slowing down the process.  There are 5 things that can block psychic abilities that many people are unaware of. Simply by avoiding these 5 things, you will naturally become more psychic.

5 Things That Can Block Your Psychic Abilities

1. Ingesting toxic substances such as; cigarettes, coffee, drugs, alcohol, and sugar. These substances are often abused by people. Even if you use these substances in moderation you are walking a fine line between unhealthy habits and overindulgent behavior.

When we give into addiction, we are allowing negative emotional attachments to possibly attach to our auric field causing us to leak energy and lower our vibrations. Never, ever go into an altered state for a reading, meditation, and or healing under the influence of mind altering substances!!

2. Participating in drama and gossip lowers our vibrations. When we are talk about others in a negative way, we are harming the soul of another. This is a lower consciousness activity. By directing hurtful words towards another, we are moving away from raising our consciousness by participating in words and emotions that have lower thoughtforms attached to them. Walk away from drama and gossip, STAT!

Did you know that you do not have to be in the same room to hurt another soul? Words are energy, emotions are energy. They have the same effect as being in the same room versus being in a different place than we are. The results are the same.

3. Allowing the negative ego to get out of control will most certainly stop your progression as a budding intuitive. I am talking about using your psychic abilities unethically such as; spying on others – a definite NO NO, trying to use your gift to influence others out of your need for control, and trying to one-up others by showing off your psychic abilities.

4. Not creating a safe and protected working environment for your spiritual practices such as meditation, readings, and healings. If we do not clear and keep ourselves and spaces energetically clean we can leave the door open for unwanted energy to come in.

5. Not setting boundaries and knowing your limitations is always a dangerous thing! Doing any psychic work when you are sick, tired or in a really unhealthy emotional place is going to shut down your psychic abilities instantly. It is important for us to take our psychic temperature each and every time we intend to open up ourselves psychically and be honest with ourselves and our limitations.

Developing your psychic abilities is fun, useful, important, and a gift for each and every one of us. If you do not know where to begin, please do seek out a teacher and or mentor through researching your area or requesting a referral from a trusted acquaintance.

Blessings and Light,

5 Tips For Budding Psychics

Lately it seems more and more people are looking for opportunities to embrace their psychic gifts and have begun using these gifts to assist others as professional psychics and spiritual counselors. The demand for alternative counseling and healing is higher than ever. This is awesome news for those who have decided to take a leap of faith and pursue careers as a spiritual advisor.

As a professional spiritual advisor/teacher for over 16 years and the founder of The Mystical Moon,  you could say that I am a pretty seasoned advisor and have learned a few things over the years. Assisting and holding space for another's journey, healing and growth is a sacred and beautiful gift. However, there are a few things that you may not learn about through training in this field. I'd love to share some of the tips that I share with my students and with those whom I mentor.

5 Tips For Budding Psychics

1. Practice Makes Perfect - The more you work with others, the more confident you will become with how the information comes to you as well as deciphering your own psychic language. When I first started out, I practiced on friends and family and then participated in apprentice psychic faires. The experience you gain from practice is priceless! You will find out which clients you would like to work with as well as which environment you feel most comfortable in. It may be in an office, over the phone and or working psychic faires and expos. Practice and experience will help you find your professional niche.

2. Don't Compare Yourself With Other Readers/Healers - Everyone has psychic abilities. The way we receive this information is different for each and every person. For some they see pictures and movies, for others they see auras, and for some they may see those who have crossed over. Embrace your own unique psychic gifts and run with them! Appreciating another's gifts without judging or doubting your own is a telltale sign that you are confident in your own abilities and that your negative ego is under control. By comparing yourself with another, you are setting yourself up for failure. You have your gifts and have worked very hard on them, now it's time to share them with the world.

3. Keep Healthy Boundaries With Clients - This is a huge challenge for most professionals and it is the area where if you don't keep healthy boundaries with clients that it will get you into trouble. What do I mean by trouble? You may get phone calls at all hours, you can become emotionally corded, you may take on their energy and or you may be taken advantage of financially. These are just a few of things that can happen when we do not set parameters with clients. I keep a professional relationship with my clients and have a strict policy that we do not have an outside of the office relationship. I do not answer emails or phone calls outside of business hours. These are just some examples and suggestions and they may vary for the individual. I strongly suggest keeping doctor/patient confidentiality and professionalism with all of your clients.


4. There Are Some Clients That You May Not Be To Read - This is a challenging one that many struggle with and do not realize that not all people are able to be read by you or anyone. There are many reasons for this such as; you aren't able to make a connection with them, you may be tired or they may be tired, it's not for their highest and best good for you to read them and or your guides may be protecting you from their energy. If within the first 5 minutes of a session you are unable to make a connection, it is always best to end the session. Many people do not realize or know this,  but it is more harmful to keep going when the energy and information isn't flowing. One of the dangers is that you may begin to doubt yourself because you are unable to make a connection. There are some situations where you are not supposed to read that person and that is totally ok. If you end a session within the first 5 minutes, do not charge the person and either schedule a future session or refer them to someone else.


5. Take Time For Yourself And Know Your Limits - Psychic work is and can be draining. You are working with people who are experiencing tragedy, pain, guilt, and heartache. This can be emotionally and energetically draining if you do not keep healthy boundaries and if you do not take care of yourself. Taking care of yourself means getting massages, taking time off, going for nature walks, eating healthy and learning how to detach from your sessions. Know your limits;  how many sessions you can do in a day, week, month, etc. Overworking yourself can and will lead to burnout, exhaustion, a compromised immune system and not being able to make a clear connection with your higher guidance. Many worry that if they say no to clients that the clients will go to another practitioner. Could this happen? Well, it sure could but there are many people seeking help. There is more than enough to go around. Compromising your mental and physical well-being is not worth it.  Taking care of yourself should be your number one priority.

By following these 5 suggestions, you will be able to enjoy doing exactly what you love doing and you will be able to enjoy a long and prosperous career.

Blessings and Light,

What Is Your Strongest Psychic Gift? Find Out By Selecting One Of These Crystals

Do you know which psychic ability of the 4 main psychic senses is your strongest? Learn more about your own natural psychic abilities by selecting the crystal that calls to you. Each crystal helps enhance the corresponding "clair" when the user carries or wears it.

Take a moment to center yourself and then ask your Higher Self which of the following crystals will help enhance your intuitive abilities. ​

1. Clairvoyance/Lapis Lazuli - People that are clairvoyant are able to see psychic energy whether it be through pictures, movies, and or colors. Place your crystal on your 3rd eye to enhance your gift of clairvoyance.

2. Clairaudience/Labradorite - Clairaudience is the ability to hear psychically. You may hear messages, songs and all sorts of different sounds. If at all possible, wear selenite earrings or place a piece of selenite on the throat area while lying down to help fine tune your clairaudient abilities.

3. Claircognizance/Amethyst - With this ability you simply "know" things without trying to focus on the situation at hand. Information flows through the Higher Self and heart chakra effortlessly. Placing an amethyst crystal on your heart chakra will help bring out your claircognizant abilities.

4. Clairsentience/Rose Quartz - If you possess this ability, you are able to feel the energy of people and places that you interact with. Many empaths possess this psychic gift. Place a rose quartz on your solar plexus/stomach area to build your clairsentience abilities. This activity will help prevent you from absorbing the energetic influences that you are feeling.

Blessings and Light,

These 7 Crystals Are All You Really Need In Your Collection

I, like many other crystal junkies, am the proud owner of hundreds of different varieties of

crystals. They are all special to me and yes, I do use them all - for healing, protection, abundance, enhancing my intuition or simply for relaxing and meditating. After working with crystals for over 30 years, I have found that there are 7 basic crystals that pretty much cover all of your needs. These 7 crystals are also easy to attain and are very affordable which make them even more appealing to the metaphysically curious person. 

The 7 Basic Crystals

1. Clear Quartz - This crystal does it all! It enhances, restores, and regulates energy. It helps activate your psychic abilities, amplifies the energy of other crystals, stimulates the immune system, and aligns the chakras. I use clear quartz to energize my other crystals and to give my own energy a boost when I feel a little tired. I also keep a clear quartz in my car to improve my gas mileage.

2. Amethyst - Another crystal that has many useful properties. I use amethyst to help me relax, sleep, meditate, open my crown chakra, overcome unhealthy habits such as; eating too much sugary foods or drinking too much caffeine. Amethyst is great for breaking unhealthy addictions, brings in peace and balance, not only is it a psychic protection stone, but it also protects the user from thieves and it protects travelers.

3. Rose Quartz - Rose quartz is often used for healing emotional trauma and wounding. it has a gentle and loving energy that helps the user connect with unconditional love for self as well as others. Rose quartz has been used in ancient times for physical beautification working on the inner and outer aspects of feeling beautiful. Putting rose quartz by your bedside provides a peaceful and restful sleeping environment. A large piece in your workspace keeps away gossip.

4. Selenite - Selenite connects you with the angelic realm while clearing and cleansing your mind, body and spirit. Selenite brings in mental clarity and helps with decision making. I use selenite in my healing sessions to remove energy blocks in the physical and etheric bodies. I often use a selenite blade to comb the auric field. It clears and seals the aura. Selenite connects you with the energy of the moon. I love using selenite during the full and new moon to help enhance my intention with the moon's energy.

5. Black Tourmaline - I have  black tourmaline strategically placed in the four corners of my home and businesses and by the front door to absorb any stress of negativity from entering into these places. I also use black tourmaline to keep me grounded in my meditation so that I remember my meditation experiences. It guards against the influences of overly emotional and toxic people so that you do not take on their energy empathically. Black tourmaline is a wonderful stone for those who feel and take on other people's energy. It creates a healthy energetic boundary for the user with the outside world.

6. Fluorite - You will always find a piece of fluorite by my computer and printer to help it run smoothly. There is a lot of psychic energy around my computer due to the nature of my business. Fluorite is excellent for shielding the aura from outside psychic manipulation. It absorbs disturbances in your environment so quickly that you do need to clear it often with sage or a crystal cleanse. This crystal works with the upper chakras making it an excellent stone of enhancing psychic abilities.

7. Citrine - Citrine is the most popular abundance crystal that people use to bring in financial stability. I always have a citrine stone in my cash register and in the money corn in my home, the back left corner to keep the abundance flowing. Citrine balances the solar plexus chakra and energizes the will of the user. It is excellent in solving family or group problems bringing in resolution and healing to the group. Citrine is beneficial in sparking creativity of artists, writers and musicians.

As I write this article, many other crystals come to mind such as hematite, moonstone and tiger's eye, but for those who are beginners or if you are purchasing crystals for someone else, these 7 will cover the basic needs of the user.

Be sure to cleanse them often with sage, sea salt, or placing them on a slab of selenite or a cluster of amethyst or clear quartz. Cleansing your crystals will help you receive the benefits that come from working with them.

There is so much information out there to help you learn more about crystals. Some resources are - the internet, books and visiting your favorite crystal shop and learning from the people that work there. Learning how to use crystals can be fun, healing and empowering. 

If you haven't already worked with crystals, I invite you to do so beginning with the 7 I have suggested with an open mind and heart and then decide for yourself if your life has improved for the better.

Blessings and Light,
Laurie

The Top 10 Questions People Ask Professional Psychics

I have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions of professional psychics, well the ones we are asked here at The Moon along with our responses. Some question, I smile and chuckle and some are serious concerns of our clients.

1. If you are so psychic, what are the lottery numbers? This one of the most asked question! Trust me, if I had the answer, I would be a multi multi millionaire. Winning the Lottery is not in everyone's cards :D There are many other opportunities for abundance that spirit has mapped out for us. I will admit that sometimes I do hear that little voice say "Buy a scratch off or play the Lotto" and do win some money but nothing substantial. My psychic gifts have been given to me to help people heal, grow, empower themselves and to recognize their potential and gifts. My abundance will come to me as I share my gifts with the world at the same time as I heal and raise my vibration. Not everyone's Lotto success is through the Lotto.

2. What do you see around me or what are you picking up psychically? I do not read

people outside of my sacred space. My gifts are not always "on" and I do take my profession seriously. There is a time and place for being in channel and it is not wise to walk around with yourself energetically wide open. I value my gift and feel most comfortable in a sacred space and state of being. This is not to say that I don't receive my own impressions of people's energy as I meet them. I may feel they are under stress but choose not to go into a session at the front desk of my store :)

3. I have had bad luck, do you think someone put a spell on me? 99.9% of the time when we are having a challenging time it is because our soul is moving through a huge growth spurt and spirit wants us to get moving by clearing up our energy, make some decisions and take action. Yes, it is possible that someone is not sending loving thoughts your way. In these instances it is important to not give your power away by living in fear as well as believing someone else has control over you. Clear yourself and your space by saging, meditating, create boundaries, wear or carry grounding stones such as hematite or black tourmaline and keep redirecting your thoughts and emotions to ones that empower and inspire you.

4. Why are you asking my name, you should know. This one always makes me smile. Sometimes I do get the name of the client. Psychically knowing my client's name is not the purpose of my gift. My gift is to help them see life from a different perspective, one that is empowering and helping them to grow and be a happier individual.

5. Do you think I am psychic? Yes! Everyone is psychic and has an internal psychic GPS. Everyone can fine tune and develop their psychic gifts. It is important for people to not compare their gifts with other people's gifts and how information comes in. I encourage everyone to take the time to develop their own gifts so they may know the best possible path for themselves as well as to know when their warning signs reveal themselves as well as when it is time to act upon an amazing opportunity.

6. Is my house haunted? This one we hear a lot as well. You may have activity in your home because you have asked to hear and feel spirit more. You may also be a kinetic medium, which is to have the ability to move physical items. If you feel your home or space is haunted then clear it with sage, prayers, keeping drama outside of your home, don't watch scary haunting shows (especially before bedtime) and not empower the idea of non-physical energy in your home.

7. Am I ever going to meet my soulmate? There are many types of soul mates and not all soul mates are a healthy match. Some do teach us boundaries and how to love ourselves through unhealthy experiences. I know there are wonderful potential partners out there for all of us. What is most important is for you to be your true, loving authentic self shine through to others. Continue to work on yourself and participate in activities that make your heart sing. We do attract to us those who are on the same energetic wavelength. Sometimes we grow apart from others because we are not on the same consciousness level (not good or bad or wrong) just different therefore the relationship may not work anymore. This also includes friendships, family members, romantic partners and co-workers. There is at least one divine partnership out there for everyone. Trust and let go of the process and most certainly don't lock yourself into one specific person. Allow others their free will and trust the process of spirit for spirit does know what is best for you.

8. I am so interested in metaphysics, where do I start? I am so excited so many are turning inward for healing, joy, and personal fulfillment through spirituality. My suggestions are to begin a meditation practice, read books on the subject, ask around for a mentor or teacher from someone you trust, take classes either in person or online (ask around), listen to your inner dialog and request for spirit to help you open up your gifts in a loving and harmonious manner so that you are comfortable with the process.

9. What's my spirit guide's name? While it is even more special for you to connect and find out your spirit guide's name on your own, I would be more than happy to bring information through all about your spirit guides. They then will share ways you can connect with them through meditation, journaling and your every day activities.

10. Why is it another reader told me something different and why didn't it come true? There are many good reasons why, and I believe this is an excellent question. The other reader may be tapping into a different place for their information, their interpretation of the information may be different than yours, your free will and choices may have changed the dynamics, other people's free wills may have changed as well, you may have been redirected by spirit because other possibilities have opened up and or you may not have allowed enough time to pass or you may not have followed their suggestions which will change the outcome.

There are many more questions that are asked of me and my co-workers that I will address in a future post. Please feel free to comment or ask some questions for a future posting.

Blessings and Light,
Laurie

How To Cope As An Empath In Our Society

Every day I am blessed to witness many empaths reclaiming their personal space as well as their solar plexuses. They come to my center, The Mystical Moon to learn how to empower themselves and genuinely want to heal and embrace life to its' fullest.Empaths are highly sensitive people who feel, I mean really feel the environment around them. They pick up all emotions, sensations, energy imprints from people, places and objects. 

Often empaths do not realize they are absorbing their surroundings until it is too late. They have already taken on others unhealthy emotions, possibly other people's habits as well as belief systems and perspectives.

Can an empath survive in this world? Absolutely! Individuals that are super-sensitive to their environment can learn how to create healthier energetic boundaries as well as can begin to recognize when they are absorbing their environment 

How do you know if you are an empath? Here are some easy to recognize the empathic signs:

• You suddenly have a nauseous feeling after you meet someone or even walk into an unfamiliar space
• You have solar plexus issues (sensitive digestion system, stomach aches, that sinking feeling in your stomach)
• You are influenced by the moods of others
• You are confused about your emotions
• People often "dump" on you for no reason
• You are often overwhelmed in large crowds causing you to withdraw socially
• Sometimes you are depressed for no reason

If this sounds familiar to you then chances are you are a person with strong empathic abilities. You can most certainly use your gift to be an indicator to when your environment, or a person, or even a certain location is not a healthy place for you. 

Often empaths do not know they are absorbing other's feelings and pain until after the fact. Here are some suggestions to help you manage your gifts that will also help empower you:

•  Wear deflecting crystals such as jet, black tourmaline, hematite, tiger's eye on your right side. By wearing or carrying these crystals they will project their energy outward, creating a shield of protection for you.
• Take baths with sea salt or himalayan salt. Did you know you can bathe with himalayan salt? 
• Learn to cover your solar plexus with your hands or arms. You may even use visualization to help you do so.
• Sage yourself as well as your space often. 
• Learn to pick up objects or to use your right hand when handling an object that you are not familiar with. The left hand receives, right sends out energy.
• Hold your phone to your right ear. If you listen with your left side you may pick up the feelings of the person on the other line.
• Learn how to say "no", "I don't have the time" or "I am unable to help you at this time."
• Activate your spiritual protection - your guides, angels, the helpers that are non-physical. Ask them to protect you energetically.
• Be sure to cut those emotional cords often. 
• Receive healing treatments such as Reiki, massages, or any type of proactive healing treatment.
• When you are feeling compromised, do not perform any energy, healing or psychic work. You are more likely to let your guard down and take away someone else's stuff.
• Before you leave your home, pull your aura in a little closer to the body. You most certainly do not need to go out into the world wide open.
• Using command phrases such as: Shields Up! or I invoke a bubble of pink and gold protection around me today. 
• Use a visualization of mirrors being place around your aura facing outwards. This will help you deflect unwanted sensations.

Many empaths are nurses, massage therapists, healers and teachers. They have nurturing and loving energy. By using some of these simple suggestions you most certainly do not have to hide from crowds. You will be able to mingle with your fellow man and woman and will be able to enjoy this amazing  planet and the beautiful souls who inhabit it. 

Blessings and Light,

Laurie

Ten Effective Ways to Shift Your Space

One of the most important things we can do as spiritual beings is to keep ourselves and space clear of lower vibrational energy.

What is lower vibrational energy? It is a collective of our negative thoughts, fear, worry, greed, addictions, abuse…you get the picture. These lower thought forms can stick to us and our environment and cause havoc and hold us down and back from raising our vibrations and consciousness. 

Below are 10 simple yet effective ways you can clear and shift your space.

• Sage - The ritual of burning sage has been used throughout time for thousands of years. Sage is packaged in bundles and loose in bags. Be sure you have a shell or heat resistant dish to help catch the ashes. *For those who are sensitive to smoke, sage mist is equally effective*

• Place a crystal by the entry to the space. The crystal acts as a gateway keeper absorbing any unwanted energy (stress, fear, anxiety etc.) so it doesn't enter your space. Suggested crystals: hematite, black tourmaline, tiger's eye, selenite, jet, blue lace agate and turquoise.

• Burn a combo of one black and one white candle. The black to absorb negativity, the white to bring in the light.

• Place a bowl of water with two lights and a pinch of sea salt in the center of your home. After the tea lights have finished burning pour the water and salt outside into the grass. Do not pour down your sink or toilet - you may create some plumbing issues.

• Sprinkle either black salt or sea salt at the threshold of the building.

• Recite the Abbe Male Spiritus Prayer - A sacred prayer for banishing.

In Nomini Patris
(In the name of the father)


Et Fili 
(and the son)


Et Spiritus Sancti 
(and the Holy Spirit)



Abbe Male Spiritus 
(be gone evil spirits)


Abbe Male Spiritus


Abbe Male Spiritus



In Nomini Patris


Et Fili


Et Spiritus Sancti


In Nomini Jesu Christi 
(In the name of Jesus the Christ)

Amen. 
(So Be It)

• Create 4 mojo bags filled with 3 different herbs and then place them in the 4 corners of your home. Suggested herbs: rosemary, sandalwood, angelica, clove, cedar, sage, thyme, peppermint and sweetgrass to name a few. *Make sure the mojo bags are out of reach of children and animals.*

• Burning incense clears and brings in good energy. Suggested incense: Blue Nag Champa, Dragon's Blood, Sandalwood, Chandan, Frankincense, Amber, Myrrh and Copal.

• Clear the clutter. When we have clutter in our space that we don't need or any use for it, it causes stagnancy in our space. You can always donate the items if you are struggling with throwing your old goodies away. A home that is physically clean = An energetically clean home.

• Keep away the drama and the drama-filled people and triggers. Drama is an energy and vibrates and will attract a like frequency. You can request for spirit to assist with keeping your home and or space clear of unwanted energetic influences.

Tip: Be sure to stay on top of keeping your space clear. We have many experiences within our daily activities. Some influences are more of a challenge than others. Therefore, it is necessary to space clear one a weekly and yes, sometimes daily basis. 

The benefits of space clearing are: healthier relationships, healthier bodies, abundance, joy, and raising of our consciousness. 

I can't think of any reason not to space clear :)

I would love your feedback of the before and after experiences :)

Blessings and Light,

Laurie

Oracle Cards with Laurie

I love, love, love using oracle cards. There are so many different decks. 
I am often asked at the center how to use them and what are they for?
I created a brief video sharing some insight on how you can use them to enhance your life.

The Guest Visitor At The Crystal Bowl Meditation

Last night's Crystal Bowl Meditation was really interesting...at least for me.

I have facilitated hundreds of Crystal Bowl Meditations. During the meditation I receive impressions. I often see the participants being worked on by their guides, visits from their crossed over loved ones, shifts in their consciousness, their angels working on their energy field, so on and so forth.

I was specifically guided last night by a presence in the corner.
This was a masculine energy and he was out of focus for me. I did not question who he was or whom he belonged to. I knew it was someone's guide.

His message was loud and clear ~ "You need to motivate these people. We need them to be excited and passionate about their lives. If they are not excited about their own future how will they ever achieve their goals and find their happiness and fulfillment?"
He instructed me to play the moldavite bowl with the heart chakra to help them awaken their own heart's desires. To open the heart center for themselves, not to fall in love or to deepen their romantic relationships but for their own lives. 
He also told me to play the moldavite bowl with the root chakra bowl. He said, "This will help them ground this new passion, motivation, they need to be able to build their foundations upon the root. Some of them are too busy opening up the crown and third eye. They must take action here and now!"

I worked with this guide, I followed his instructions and played with intention and was really feeling the movement for the participants. I saw their guides shifting and helping them move to another level of consciousness.

I then turned my attention towards this guide ~ Ahh, I knew him well. It was my guide. I knew the energy was familiar! I asked him so am I sharing you with them?
He said, "No, I am part of you, I am part of your consciousness. Everyone you work with is part of you and I am part of you. I help you. There is no time to waste doing things half way. I will help you shift the energy of people more consciously. We (he and I) are already motivated and ready to take on new projects. Now it is time to be the cheerleader and motivator for others. We are a team."

So with that being said, when you work with me...you work with my guides as well.

This conversation with him made so much sense as my client list is doubling these days. Not only is it doubling but I am acquiring clients in groups from the same distant locations. Now I know who is working with me to share the light at a whole other level.

A message to all of my clients ~ Be ready if you are working with me because nothing is going to stop us on our path to spiritual and personal enlightenment :)
