Newbie to Crystals?

No problem,
I got'ya!
For a long time crystals have become a must tool in Spiritual and everyday life.
For me, crystals are the keepers of the hidden knowledge. They have been on this
Earth long before us and in my opinion they unlock our power and potential. You
have crystals for unlocking creativity, connecting to the Higher Consciousness,
for protection, vitality, energy, well being, to sleep...there is literally a stone for
everything. I highly recommend Cassandra Eason's Crystal Bible.

But, we can't have all of them...so here are my go-to crystals:

 Clear Quartz - you can program Clear Quartz for anything you want! it's
excellent to aid spiritual growth;
 Carnelian - great for creativity and restores motivation. If you work in a
busy environment, Carnelian can help you stabilize your energy levels;
 Blue Lace Agate - the communication stone. It balances the throat chakra
and alleviates nervous tensions;
 Rose - the relationship stone. It restores harmony and love in our heart
chakra and promotes deep healing of self-love;
 Selenite - awakens our spiritual abilities and protects from negative
energies;
 Citrine - brings abundance to our lives and enhances our mental clarity;
 Amethyst - helps to heal emotional issues and opens our 3rd eye chakra;
 Black Tourmaline . the most used stone for protection against negative
energies. It is also used for grounding with the Earth by creating a
connection between us and Mother Earth.

And here you have!! The first crystals I have ever bought!

Do you use crystals? Which one? Let me know in the comments :)

My go-to favourite books

Hey friends!!

Who here loves books too??!! I am a total book worm and I have to admit
sometimes I have to refrain myself from buying everything I find interesting!!

I read all types of books but today is all about the Now Age Books and if you have
more suggestions leave them in the comment section!!

1. Material Girl, Mystical World by Ruby Warrington. This book literally put me
back on track with my spiritual journey. Ruby writes about her own journey
to finding her path, astrology, tarot, fashion...spirituality for the modern
woman.

2. The Universe has your back by Gabrielle Bernstein. This book was the first I
read from Gabby and it's a must have. I love the way she explains how the
Universe teaches us trough lessons and I love how she is not ashamed of
sharing her own story and struggles. It's a soul nourishing book for sure.

3. Judgement Detox by Gabrielle Bernstein. Yap, I love her. This was a hard one
for me. It made me revisit some experiences in my past that I kept well
hidden in the back of my mind but at the same time taught me to look and
heal them.

4. The Soul Searcher's handbook by Emma Mildon. This one is great for someone
who is spiritual curious. Emma covers a lot of topics in her book from Yoga,
chakras, auras, crystals, tarot, astrology, numerology...It's a guidebook for the
person who is awakening.

5. Light Warrior by Kyle Gray. This soul is the Angel Whisperer. I love him, and
his work. He talks about Angels, how to recognize the Lightworker in us,
Guides, psychic protection...Another book that will give you a lot of tools and
knowledge.
 6. Crystal Muse by Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro. This one is a must have
for everyone who loves crystals. It has rituals, descriptions of different types
of crystals and their properties, basically it's a magical book.

7. Explorations of a Cosmic Soul by Allie Michelle. This is a poetry book and you
can tell by the title that is about Allie's spiritual journey. You can tell that she
has connected to her depths and wrote about what she learned. You can
sense the connection with the Universe and I like to just open a page
randomly and read a message from the Universe.

I am currently reading Light is the New Black by Rebecca Campbell and I am

loving it!!!!

Love,

Let's talk Energy Protection

Hello magical friends!! Energy Protection is a very popular subject among the
spiritual community...how many have you heard talking about sage or palo santo
smudges?

It is more than that. It has to be a very conscious and thoughtful approach. When
we take the time to protect ourselves energetically, we become more focused and
calm in the way we deal with the everyday life.

But why do I need to protect my energy Callie? (you may ask...)

Our energy is our Power. Is how we show ourselves into the world. If we are
feeling drained or down we feel like our energy is low. So, to pick it up we need to
protect ourselves. It's easy and there are exercises you can do. This way you can
turn your focus to your own spiritual development and it will help you shine
your light into the world!

The first exercise is how I protect my energy on a daily basis. I tend to be a very
visual person so I like to use visualizations in my energy protection work. It goes
like this: Stand or sit still and take a few deep breaths - inhale through the nose,
hold 3 secs, exhale through the mouth. Then I want you to visualize a white light
surrounding your body like a shield and try to feel the warm and love of this
light. If you're at work, or on the subway, you can do this as you walk. I live in
London, one of the busiest cities in the world and whenever I go to Oxford Circus
street I like to do this as I walk, it makes me feel more protected and serene.

Another exercise is using the power of Affirmations. When we affirm something

we manifest it into the Universe and we receive it back! (you can check the
Manifest 101 ebook in the shop). Do the breathing exercise from above and say
them at least 3 times and believe in what you're saying (it's very important):
some examples of what you can say: I am protected. The Universe has my back. I
choose the Light. Try to listen to your heart and say whatever comes to your
mind. You can write them on your phone notes, a paper or even a post-it and
carry it with you throughout the day.

The last one is one of my favourites and it requires a crystal. The most used
crystals for protection are Black Tourmaline or Shunghite. Doesn't need to be a
big stone, just enough to fit your pocket or your wallet. All you need to do is
cleanse it first and then set the intention to protect you from negative feelings
and emotions. To cleanse the stone run it for a few times under running water or
if you have time leave it in a bowl with brown rice for a whole night. Then, hold
the crystal in your hands and visualize a white light going through it and charging
with good vibes and state your intention. Remember: Crystals only work when
charged and intended.

Hope you like it and if you have any more suggestions leave them in the
comments section!!

Love,

Callie xo
