With so much of what the collective is feeling is a push for change, liberation, and manifestation, I thought it would be a great time to balance out the scales. While always working for more and growing in oneself is admirable, sometimes we get further in our quest when we appreciate the blessings and abundances that we already have. More often than not, it's the gratitude for the little things in life and what we already possess that can actually give us what we feel we have yet to obtain. It allows us to truly connect with the energy of having and holding. It allows for the maintenance of our frequency. And what we maintain when it comes to energy, we send out into the Universe to find us again. So, as we release, redefine, and reimagine our lives this week and for the next few months, I thought it may be a good idea to toss out a few crystals that can help assist in tapping into this soothing, blissful energy.
Whether you want to add them to spell work, prayers/meditations, sachets, candles, or carry them on your person, it may allow for the mindfulness of thankfulness and appreciation for what is already accumulating and flowing in our lives. And as we all know, the first step to a mindful practice is attention and awareness. So let these, if nothing else, jog your memory when you spot that to remember to say thank you! So many Gods, Deities, & Energies alike truly appreciate a thank you that is from the soul. I truly feel it is our most undervalued magic we wield.
