CRYSTALS FOR LOVE & ABUNDANCE

These are crystals for healing and expanding your heart chakra: self-love, family, romantic partners and beyond. When love is present and in the flow, so is abundance.

Rose Quartz is my number one for love. A universal heart expander, rose quartz is known as a mothering crystal. It helps us to mother ourselves with unconditional love and then radiates that love out of our auric field. Use this high frequency stone for gentle heart healing and to attract all realms of love.

Green Aventurine is considered a lucky crystal, creating the opportunities in line with your heart’s desire. Remember, green is the color of the heart chakra! This abundant stone is perfect for calling in a new love, rekindling love or a new job.

Citrine is the yellow crystal for success, happiness, self-worth and love. Citrine is like the sun; it beams warm positive energy, allowing our hearts to be open to receive love and abundance. Keep this crystal in your pocket to be the sun you already are.

 

CRYSTALS FOR TRAVEL

With October here, the holidays will be here before we know it. And with the holidays comes a lot of traveling. Traveling to visit family or your own holiday getaway? Don’t worry, we got your traveling crystals covered.
 

Shungite is a black stone of protection, keeping your root chakra in check. Not to mention, the carbon filled stone is excellent for counteracting the airport’s electromagnetic energies. For extra protection, keep a couple of stones in your pocket.

Malachite is a beautiful green crystal that helps keep your wisdom in check, particularly around challenging family members and travelers. Ward off the negativity and relieve the jet-lag with this guardian stone.

Amethyst is one of my all time favorite crystals across the board. This purple crystal keeps the calm and tranquility along the journey and alchemizes any negative energy into love. Keep it in your pocket, by where you sleep, and with you when you meditate. A lovely crystal.

CRYSTALS FOR CONNECTING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

Feeling the call to up-level yourself and your intuition? Let the inner work and transformation begin with the aid of these crystals:
 

Lemurian Quartz is a super magical stone. It’s programmed with sacred messages of love by the lost civilization of the Lemurian star-beings within the lateral ladder-like lines in the crystal. Hidden knowledge will surface and connect you the cosmic wholeness. After meditating with and carrying a Lemurian Quartz for a week, I felt an intense connection with myself, my community and the collective consciousness. Seriously, the same themes were appearing in conversation from close friends to complete strangers. Get ready for a wild spiritual awakening and upleveling.

Moldavite is known at the extraterrestrial stone — literally, it’s from outer space! Formed over 14 million years ago from a meteorite crashing into the Moldau River in Czechoslovakia, this green tektite will instantly raise your vibration. Its energy is palpable; you can feel its heat in the palm of your hand! Generate inner work, material change and synchronicity in your life with moldavite.

Nuummite, also known as The Sorcerer’s Stone (check yourself, Harry Potter). Nuummite connects you to energy deep within the Earth; it grounds you spiritually and switches on your inner magick with its strong electromagnetic field. This is an incredible stone to aid in soul retrieval, shamanic work, and self-mastery. Let the alchemy begin! Nuummite is considered one of the oldest crystals on the the Earth as it comes from layers of the Earth’s crust that are over 3 billion years old! It can teach you the ancient secrets of this land we come from. 

ON CLEANING CRYSTALS

 

Don’t forget to clean your crystals! This way, you can set intentions and program your crystal to unlock their qualities and attach them to you. You can clean crystals in salt water*, in the light of the full moon or sun, by letting them sit on a slab of selenite, with burning sage or palo santo or incense, with your own voice or incantation. The options are limitless!

*Many crystals are not hard enough on the Mohs scale to be left in salt water or regular water. Please research before using water to cleanse them!

RELEASE – HEAL – GROW

We often hear that the leading cause of our problems is within ourselves. But so is the solution.

It may seem far-fetched, but the power to solve all of our physical and emotional issues, whether it’s health, relationships, career, finances, self-esteem, or something else, is in our hands.

Metaphysical counseling helps us uncover the root of our suffering and address it accordingly. Let’s find out how!

Great for: Transitions, getting to the next level, breaking free of limiting beliefs or blockages, empowering one to believe in themselves, having accountability through your goals

what is metaphysics

Metaphysics is the most abstract branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of existence. In Greek, the word metaphysics means “after the things of nature”.

Metaphysics examines the very nature of reality. It offers explanations for phenomena that cannot be explained by “natural” science or that are “beyond the physical”.

This science studies the individual as a whole, as a physical and spiritual being.

Certain types of chakra healing and other holistic, spiritual healing practices, personal development, and even business coaching are based on metaphysics. They typically include working on physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of one’s being to resolve issues that person is facing.

The fundamental law of metaphysics is that every action or decision causes a reaction or an effect. Everything that happens to us (positive or negative) results from past actions or decisions in this lifetime or before the present life.

Similarly, everything we do now will have an effect on our life in the future. This law is better known as karma (action).

It is also believed that we must resolve our life’s issues in this lifetime.

What is metaphysical counseling?

Metaphysical counseling is based on the principle that everyone is sent by the Soul (higher self) to grow at all levels of their being through their life experiences and the lessons they learn in life.

Sometimes referred to as spiritual or transpersonal counseling, it represents a whole person approach – body, mind, and spirit. This type of counseling helps us better understand our life experiences by explaining aspects that our senses cannot perceive.

To put it simply, metaphysical counseling is a form of therapy that empowers us to empower ourselves.

There are many ways metaphysical counseling can take place. This will depend on the practitioner you choose, the kind of spirituality they practice, and the specific issues you may be looking to address.

Some counselors will advise you on the use of crystals for healing, while others will stress the importance of prayer.

This is why it is essential to find a counselor whose beliefs align with yours. Otherwise, your counseling might not have the desired effect.

What can metaphysical counseling help us with?

Metaphysical counseling is a type of holistic-approach therapy based on spiritual principles. This psycho-spiritual approach helps people live a more authentic life by making conscious choices.

It is a self-empowering therapy that gives us the tools to identify and address the imbalances in our belief system that cause conflict and prevent us from achieving success and happiness. These beliefs are so subconscious that we aren’t always aware of them.

With the help of a therapist, people can discover the fundamental causes of their suffering and reach a solution through self-discovery.

It is all about learning to utilize our own self-healing power to reinstate harmony.

This can apply on multiple levels – physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Good metaphysical counseling will address all of those.

What does a metaphysical counselor do?

A metaphysical counselor is capable of healing not only the human mind but the body as well. They can help with various mental issues, including depression, anxiety, and loneliness, or any physical illness, by offering guidance and support to their clients.

A metaphysical counselor can help us navigate our way to health, success, strength, or anything else we desire. They also help clients understand their spiritual nature in this lifetime and beyond.

Each counselor will have their own approach; some will focus on the metaphysical properties of the things around you and how to use those to your benefit, while others will prefer working on your own inner world.

We are all exposed to various positive and negative influences that shape our daily actions, thoughts, and reality. Negative impacts lead to issues like anxiety, negativity, and close-mindedness.

Metaphysical counseling aims to free people from these negative influences and their effects.

Gaining a better understanding of ourselves and our connection to the physical and spiritual world surrounding us with the help of a metaphysical counselor gives us the ability to recognize these harmful influences and build a defense mechanism.

The root of these problems lies deeper than the physical, mental, or emotional sphere. To find a solution, we must target the source. And that lies at the deepest and wisest level of our being – the level of the Soul. Many life situations can only be addressed through the metaphysical laws, and the soul factor is always present. Metaphysical counselors teach us numerous powerful techniques and spiritual principles we can utilize to find the greater good in any challenging situation.

They give us the tools to find a solution to our life issues without a struggle, using less energy in the process.

What to expect from your first metaphysical counseling session

During the first session, the client answers a series of questions regarding their life and the issues that are troubling them.

The counselor listens attentively to understand not only the surface issue but also the stressful beliefs and patterns that are causing the problem.

Further steps depend on the specific type of counseling and the counselor you choose. But after a counseling session, the goal is for clients to experience a greater sense of inner peace and well-being.

Not a one-size-fits-all approach

Metaphysics is a versatile form of therapy, so it can be adjusted to the client’s changing needs as the sessions develop.

Therapists use a variety of counseling skills and techniques. They usually determine which method is the most suitable, depending on the client’s condition at that moment.

For example, you may focus on meditation to prepare yourself for success but turn to more conversation-based therapy to deal with anxiety.

As you and your counselor work together, you will find what works best for you personally. This is one of the significant benefits of metaphysical approaches – they are highly flexible.

Metaphysics can be applied to almost any condition and is incredibly helpful with issues regarding:

mental health
challenges in the workplace
relationship issues
dealing with stress and anxiety
understanding emotional reactions
unlocking habitual patterns
