Gem Spot - Malachite

Malachite is green - the color of the heart. It has patterns upon patterns of swirling shades of green representing the lessons of the heart that we go through within this lifetime effectuating healing for this life and past lives. Malachite is a stone that helps one get to the heart of the matter. As we repeat patterns in relationships again and again, we finally get that there is a lesson to be learn after enough repeat performances. The emerging pattern with one relationship after the other helps us to grow up mentall, emotional and spiritually.

When we finally realize that a pattern has emerged or rather that we have emerged from the maze or the labyrinth of the heart just as portrayed within the swirling maze of the shades of green within malachite. What patterns are you repeating? Are you ready to emerge from the labyrinth?

Gem Spot - Selenite and Kyanite

I'm writing today's Gem Spot post flying at 36,000 ft on my way to speaking engagements in San Diego. I automatically think of selenite and kyanite because of the loft energy of these two rocks. These two gemstones raise your vibrations providing the opportunity to connect with higher consciousness. Selenite, when used with conscious intent, raises your energy allowing for a higher frequency to hook up with your mind and thoughts. Kyanite twins up nicely with selenite aligning your energy centers so they are harmoniously working to provide a perfect vessel for communication with the higher realm.


Conscious intent is necessary when working with any gemstone. This means you are purposefully putting your awareness and thoughts on using the inherent vibration and the color of the gemstone to bring you intention into manifest reality. Put simply, think the thought you want to create while looking at or holding the gemstone. Be mindful to rid your thoughts of thinks you do not want and stay focused on what you do want.

You can practice this now by looking at these photos and making a decision about receiving messages from your very highest vibrational guides and angels. The next step is to believe you are able and worthy to receive guidance from the highest realm. Pay attention to the signs from above that come in sometimes subtle ways. Messages come through visits from animals, movies you watch, bumper stickers you notice, and songs you hear. Be mindful of the inner voice and trust your intuition. Decide you can trust your inner guidance. You'll never know if you can trust your inner guidance until you try - so just do it!!

I'm sending crystalline thoughts of Love and Well-Being you way as I fly through the air with the greatest of ease - and now as I'm on the ground and actually online posting this from San Diego. California dreaming , , , ,

Gem Spot - Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is favored by many people. And it's no wonder, because this pink quartz radiates love, comfort, compassion, well-being and a "dome of  Love."

A number of years ago I was in relationship with a man who was extremely negative. It took me longer than I would have liked to realize it before I disengaged from that connection. I learned a lot during the process. The red flag should have gone up when he responded to something I said that was positive and loving about the world. His reaction in a very nasty tone was, "What's wrong with you? Do you live in a Dome of Love?" I responded in my joyful and sometimes child-like way, "Oh, yes! Would you like to step into the Dome for a while? It's quite nice in here."

He would have no part of the Dome of Love which also was a dome of Integrity, Truth, Impecability and much more. His vibration couldn't handle it. I always have hope for people which is why I hung on to that relationship for a while. I finally woke up to realize I deserved someone who already lived in their own dome of Love, Integrity, Truth . . . and so on.

Rose quartz is a good relationship stone. It's good for bringing more love into all types of relationships. We have many types of relationships; the relationship with yourself, platonic relationships, work/career relationships, parental relationships, sibling relationships, animal relationships, garden relationships - OK  . . . we have a relationship with All That Is.

Take the time to contemplate Love and what the All That Is means to you.

What does your Dome of Love feel like? Tell me!

Strands of Power

Being of Italian ancestry, my family and friends always did everything with great passion. We really felt to the depth of our being. If we had anger, we expressed it and sometimes quite loudly. If we cried from sorrow, often it was so deep, that those outside of our "culture" might perceive it as being dramatic. I believe that it is better to live life with passion and vigor and be criticized or judged, than to stop shining your light out of fear of being judged. It is time to return to your center, your sacred legacy, your heritage and your connection with your ancestors.

                Sometimes the return to the center is retreat or non-action. Non-action can be very powerful. This is much like the energy of the spider. The spider sits in her web and waits for her food to come to her. She doesn't need to leave her web. Yet she does take care of her web. Spider weaves her web so it is beautiful and strong. She repairs any broken strands in her web and untangles the web when necessary. However, she waits in her web for her nourishment to come to her. In remembering the lessons of Spider, we recapture the essence of feminine power. This feminine power is an energy which has nothing to do with gender. It is energy within each and every man or woman.

                You are made up of energy. Your energy is made up of strands of power. If a strand becomes weakened or broken, it is up to us to repair our own energy.  You cannot look outside yourself and expect someone else to make it better. You may ask for help or assistance, yet the bottom line is that you must do the work yourself for that strand to be truly repaired. These strands also link us to all your memories, people and places you have experienced as well as all your relations.

                When strands or cords of energy stay attached to you because of negative interaction or demeaning circumstances, they create challenges in your ability to function. You may act or react based on a cord or a series of cords that attached to you over many years due to unhealthy destructive relationships. These cords can be severed using intention and consciousness. Archangel Mikael can always help too!

                It is time to truly recognize your personal power. It is time to recognize the love that you are and always have been.  Once we realize what is good and what is not good for you, including people, places, habits and thought forms, then you must do something about it.  

Don't miss the Cord Cutting Event at The Crystal Garden. Allow me to facilitate this powerful ceremony with you - Monday, April 26 at 7:30 PM. Call 561-369-2836 to attend.

Gem Spot - Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is a magnificent rich blue color with golden flecks of pyrite sparkling throughout. It's like the midnight sky in the palm of your hand. Lapis was used in ancient Egypt. Lapis hs been used to in crushed up form as a foundation for paint used in art work.

Today you can use it to ground and focus your attention. It's a great tool for meditation because of that. It's opens the third eye and the intuitive senses when used with conscious intent. It's a good stone to help you remember your dreams and promote clarity in the dream time.

Lapis Lazuli, like all dark blue stones, can assist in calming inflammations. So if it's an inflamed part of the body or inflamed emotions or anger - it's a great tool to use as an aid to stay focused on calming down and releasing the source of the fear creating the inflammation..

Stop by The Crystal Garden to get your self a piece of Lapis Lazuli.
