During a worldwide distance meditation session I had organised on 12^th December 2012, I was given some simple yet effective advice. Whilst laid surrounded by crystals, cloths, oracle cards, candles, chimes and all my usual goodies I meditate with, I began the meditation, excited as to what higher guidance and soul shifting messages I may receive at this high vibration time of 12.12.12

To say I was a little disappointed with the advice received at first would be an understatement, yet I continued to allow my mind to flow freely; accepting, and not blocking, the information download being received. As I floated out of the earth, universe and into the higher realm connection I was given a short, sharp shove back down to earth with a thud!

Thinking it must be something I had done, a connection which had been interrupted perhaps, I began to breathe, release and connect once more. Again, I was thrown back to earth. Understanding that messages from higher guidance cannot be forced I succumbed to the powers that be, and went with the reality of being back in the room where I lay.

Looking back, I am truly thankful that I did this, and the experience only confirmed for me even more, that we are truly held and guided by powers so far from our ever possible understanding and comprehension. Yet this has no consequence for us, as the only thing truly needed to be understood, is that we are able to tap in to, and work with this immense power.

The message was clear and repeated several times through words and images. The best way to change the world is to first begin with ourselves, families and own surroundings. This seemed so simple and, dare I say, ‘boring’, so unlike some of the deeply intense messages I had received during prior meditations, and certainly not what I was expecting.

After silent contemplation whilst still surrounded by my supportive and inspiring friends (my crystals), this simple message became clear and embedded within my being, and ideas on how to implement action raced within my mind.

Collaboration, support, social enterprise, empathy and understanding all play important roles in attitudes and beliefs as we strive forward towards a new world, full of love and positivity. Yet, it struck me, as I lay still and quiet with the message of us being the change ringing in my ears, that we also find empowerment and self belief through taking responsibility for ourselves, actions and our own creations. To be accountable for ourselves, whilst offering and accepting, support from others could be the balance needed to truly achieve in change. Each individual, creating and being the change they wish to see, may seem small, like ‘a drop in the ocean’, yet collectively together, each person operating in this way, in tandem with the bigger picture, yet still a unique individual, creates mass change, global change!

Surely then this extends to us being responsible for our thoughts and how our thoughts manifest, affecting those around us?

As within, So without

This universal law works with you every day, whether you are aware of it or not. So why not use it to your advantage? We are, after all, in a human existence on this earth plane, so let’s use our physical and mental capabilities to Create our own reality and surroundings.

It’s all in the mind

Just as the universe is the mental creation of its creator ‘the all’, our thoughts are the creations we facilitate within our mind. This is great news! As it puts us in the driving seat to control and mould our mental creations into ones which we desire ourselves to be a part of.

Attracting the wrong people?

We attract people who reflect back to us how we feel about ourselves. If you constantly tell yourself you are ‘no good’, you are likely to attract individuals who will also relay this back to you. Thinking, feeling and projecting outwards the belief that you are a fantastic person, who achieves in all endeavours, deserving success and happiness, attracts those towards you who will also see and believe this in you.

Practice and Believe

I urge you, for one week, to practice the following, and make note of any changes you see and feel happening. Be aware of differences in your thought patterns and general mood and sense of well being during this time. The results can be life changing!

Surround yourself with positive influences, people, places, and other inspiring items. Notice your thoughts which lead you towards a ‘negative chain thought path’. Perhaps this will be something like ‘I am not good enough in my job', why do I always fail', further spiralling to thoughts of complete self hatred or obsessive destructive behaviours. Nip the thought in the bud as soon as you are aware it has no place in your existence! Each thought has, like everything, a polarity varying between both extremes. Encourage the thought, like a magnet being attracted, toward the positive extreme, with thoughts like ‘I am perfect for my job, I learn from any failures and this enables me to grow’. If possible, visualise the magnet dragging the thought away from the negative, toward the positive. This thought will create your existence through manifestation, so you want it to be positive!

Crystals Can Assist Us

We rely on crystals on a daily basis, whether aware of it or not, from our technology to our hospitals.

Crystal Therapy is a fascinating subject and a real passion of mine which I delve into in my teaching oracle deck, Crystal Therapy Cards. Using crystals when focusing on a particular change can intensify and set a real focus for the desired outcome. Not only does it set a clear intention using a crystal for a specified purpose but the crystal itself holds ancient wisdom and provides a deep connection with Mother Nature. There are so many crystals to choose from but I encourage you to go with your intuition when selecting a crystal to work with. Clearly tell the crystal what you would like to achieve and ask it for its assistance with this. Use the crystal as a focus, like a portal to connect with your desired outcome.

If you are not comfortable choosing which crystals to work with at first you may want to start with some of the more commonly used and well known Crystals, such as Rose Quartz to promote love, Quartz to promote focus and clarity, Amethyst for meditation and clear thought, Smoky Quartz for protection and grounding, to name but a few.

When working with crystals and natural energies you will find life becomes harmoniously synchronised with positivity. New conversations and opportunities arise as if from no-where. Be prepared...

Synchronicity knows no boundaries! Once it gets going, the momentum builds, sometimes so fast you have to slow it down a pace just to keep up!

Change ... Manifestation ... Believe it, Live it, Breathe it
