What a day. Busy, active, reflective, discursive and...expansive. I had a new helper in the shop today. A beautiful and unique quartz obelisk both snowy and clear. It's been snoozing away in our Specialist crystals collection and today it wanted to be out and shining. And shining it did. I meditated with this wonderful being,… Continue reading Beaming with Love
It's been another lovely day in the shop. After meditating this morning before opening I was drawn to "grid" the shop with rose quartz. Gridding is one of the great ways to work with crystals by placing them in different patterns around a space or around a person. It raises the vibration as well as… Continue reading The Cuddle Grid
Whatever blip I experienced last week is over. This morning I meditated (Deepak's Manifesting through Grace, amazing) and spent some time reviewing my transits and reflecting upon their messages. Me time. Me time that involved connecting to source (Pisces), Me (Aries) and some methodical analysis (Virgo), this seems to be the alchemical combination I need… Continue reading Smiling at Serendipity
Recently, very loving and generous Mother and Daughter friends of mine bought me an Oracle deck as a celebratory gift for opening the shop. The deck is The Spirit Messages by John Holland. On New Moon in Virgo I consulted the deck and was guided to a card called Animal Kingdom. I knew therefore to… Continue reading Puppy Joy
"They" said running a shop would be hard work, this I knew and was ready for but like a lot of things attempted for the first time not something you can completely prepare for either on an emotional or practical level. And it is, at times, tough going. Sometimes the sheer volume of tasks takes… Continue reading Back to normal
Late (and short) post tonight because it's been a busy day at the Collective! More and more people are starting to find the space, and pick up that feeling of warm whispers and soft tingles. More and more people connecting with crystals and discovering the joy of working with their loving energy. More and more… Continue reading Abundant
In my usual fluid go with the flow version of planning Wednesdays seem to have become my focussed marketing and promotion day. My marketing skills are not at the same level as my knowledge and application of crystal healing, astrology or, as was, HR, They have been previously limited to a role promoting a charity… Continue reading Market forces
Today was my first "Working with Crystals" workshop. For a various number of reasons from other participants it turned out to be a one to one. It was clearly meant to be as it was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours for both of us. As I'd written the content around pairing people up I… Continue reading The Wow
Each day in our little corner of the universe offers new surprising discoveries. And I am constantly amazed (and heartened) at how many people I am meeting that are on their own personal journey of discovery, be that through meditation, healing, creative pursuits and, a recurring theme, a willingness to share what they have discovered… Continue reading Feeling the Love (Again)
I received a visit today from someone else who is following and manifesting her dream. Someone whom I met last week and had that instant "inner knowing" that I'd met her before. Also someone who has an incredible gift of healing and compassion through teaching the practice of Yoga, to children. What an amazing service… Continue reading Showtime
