4 Spring Crystals to Honor the Season’s Growth
At this time of year, I begin gathering spring crystals to use in my rituals to honor the season's growth and renewal. Spring is a time for new beginnings. Even though we get a chance to manifest new beginnings each month during the new moon, Spring is an extra special time of renewal. Mother Earth is awakening from her winter slumber, eager to start anew and gift us with fresh life. Celebrations like Ostara, Easter and the Spring Equinox are full of fertility and hope. I enjoy working with certain stones during this season to amplify my intentions and manifest them. These spring crystals include citrine, green aventurine, moss agate and polychrome jasper. Collectively, these stones will keep you grounded and connected to Mother Nature while manifesting new beginnings and ... View Post
How to Make a Sage Cleansing Kit
Ever feel like you're carrying around unwanted energetic junk? Or maybe everyone in your home has been cranky or in a bad mood? You may need to create a sage cleansing kit to clear negative energy and raise the vibration in and around your home.

DIY Peridot Necklace for Releasing Excess Baggage
Green is not usually my color, but the peridot necklace I made the other day has me warming up to its olive hue. Why? As a healing crystal, peridot is a powerful protecter and purifier. This heart chakra stone can inspire us to release toxic thoughts and patterns in our life. I decided to work with this stone because of its ability to help release baggage we accumulate. You know, emotional and psychological baggage --- guilt, shame, resentment and other burdens we hang on to. How often do you torture yourself by playing a toxic scenario over and over and over again in your head? I do it all the time... even though I know it doesn't do me any good. So... why do I do that to myself? I'm determined to change my negative thought patterns this year, so I've recruited ... View Post
