Crystal Connections From the Editor It's Getting Hot in here It's halfway through 2017. Has this year gone as wonderfully as you imagined it would? Probably not. Intuitively I knew things wouldn't open up until mid-year. So how do we deal with the outward appearance of a world gone mad? Find your chill. That's how. No, you don't stifle your emotions. No, you don't rant, rave, or passive aggressively tell your social media audience they are all bat shit crazy and wrong for their beliefs. You be "The Observer". You take a step back. You see the situation from another perspective. You go within and find the answers,
Sarah
and you create your own peace. For a few months now, I've wanted to call this issue "Chill the F*ck Out". Life will ALWAYS be challenging. How can we deal with challenges? Be cool, man.

Tapping also helps let go of repressed emotions, memories, patterns, and vows.
If you have negative and limiting beliefs or thoughts and you’re trying to be more positive, what better way to deal with the negative than to get rid of it through Tapping. It simplifies the process and makes the whole journey so much easier. Training yourself to be, think and feel more positive is a lot of work, but by using Tapping, it doesn’t have to be! AND Tapping on the positive stuff opens up the energy pathways and makes affirmations that much more powerful.

Joel Young @ www.joelyoungNPA.com This is an invitation for you to embrace your humanity... Unconditional love is a common aspiration for heart centered folk, which is great. But, there's a common misconception that you can, or should, hold that state in perpetuity. This can lead to the dark side of the aspiration i.e. where it becomes a judgement, an expectation or a rod to beat yourself or others with. The truth is, unconditional love is an energy,
unconditional love
AND THE REALITY OF BEING HUMAN
and like all energies it comes and goes in its expression through us.
As humans we contain, channel and express many energies and, the fact is, there is no light without the dark in the experiential realm. Because, for there to be ANY experience at all, requires the contrast. As humans we are also in the 'bath' of the collective human consciousness and are therefore subject to it, with all its faults and wonders. All this adds up to the evolutionary reality that there are many situations where (if we are honest) unconditional love is not the truth of us.
So... you may indeed have many moments of unconditional love, but if you are humble enough and willing to honour both your humanity and your true state of evolution, then at times the 'highest and best' truth, is that love is most definitely NOT unconditional.
Not convinced? Try these on:
And I'm not saying that no-one EVER meets these kind of situations with genuine
"I love you unconditionally, darling!" "Phew, that's great 'cos last night I pretty much did the entire Kama Sutra with your sister."
Or this: "I love you unconditionally, darling!"
unconditional love (and when I say genuine, I mean no suppressed rage, no denial, no bargaining that you will 'keep' them if you show them unconditional love etc.) What I'm saying is let's get real about where we are and how we genuinely experience unconditional love.Â
"OK. Then you won't mind that I put our entire pension fund on red and it came up black."
And finally, I'm not saying this to bum you out... Quite the contrary... I'm inviting you to give yourself full permission to be you
If you're honest, what state do those put you in? What's your first impulse (before your spiritual/mental constructs kick in)? I doubt unconditional love is, 100%, your first

impulse. I'm not saying that you won't at some point come to a state of unconditional love in these circumstances.
My experience has taught me the kindness of self-honouring trumps concept every time when it comes to well-being, wholeness and, dare I say it, love. And that, my friend is what I wish for you <3

I’m not saying poetry is the path to self-discovery, perhaps for you it is painting, or sculpting, maybe you sing or volunteer for a cause that impassions you. The point is you do something for no reason other than your heart tells you to. When you do something your heart loves it begins to soften and unfold. For me it told me stories, the heartache of past pains, the fears I had about my future, and it allowed me to be honest without judgement.Then it let me forgive myself.

Angel Connection Are you in need of some help connecting to your higher self, or receiving divine guidance? Connect to Arch Angel Raphael, for assistance! Close your eyes, place your hands over your heart (like angel wings!), and take a deep breath. The angels always need to be INVITED in to help you, so ask Raphael to assist you in receiving Divine Illumination, knowledge and opportunity! the answers are within you, so have the confidence that you know what is best for you, or ask to be shown the true answers to your questions. Â Raphael will clear blocks from your crown chakra, which is located at the top of your head, and is a violet color.
Spend a few minutes looking at the prayer board (below) and use it to connect to Raphael's energies, as well as your crown chakra.
Summer Madness beach days, vacations, and endless days of barbecues
Kailee Holbert @ www.healthysoul360.com @ www.countryclassmentor.comt
Now that summer is in full swing, this means sun-tans (or sunburns if you’re like me), beach days, vacations, and endless days of barbecues. We want to eat all the yummy barbecue chicken, ribs, potato salad, etc. Trust me, I get it. We all struggle to eat healthy during the summer because of all these temptations, then we feel guilty or WAY TOO FULL from all that deliciousness. But don't worry, I got your back. I’ll help you stay healthy at those family barbecues and to still eat what you want! First things first, let’s talk about eating healthy at our family outings.
1. Stick with water. Yes, skip the soda and alcohol.
4. Grilled chicken. Grilled chicken is so much healthier than crispy, breaded chicken.
2. Go for the fruits, for dessert. Okay, one cookie is allowed, I can’t even pass up on the cookies! But load up

spray, and be sure to check yourself for ticks. Make sure you buy organic brands or sunscreen and bug repellent!
We hear “moderation” all the time. Barbeques is definitely a time for moderation. If you have any sweets, keep the portions small. And make sure you stay active! Choose to stand the majority of the time and go play some games! Keep these tips in mind at your next barbeque and you'll stay on track! Now, go have some fun with a little bit of friendly competition against your family members!
Crystal Connection Lapis Lazuli You want to express yourself, but first you might want to practice a little discernment! Enter: Lapis Lazuli! This stone works with the throat chakra as well as the third eye chakra, and because it is tied to the element of water, it also will support you in expressing your emotions in a healthy way. (Or why not connect to your inner mermaid/merman?) This beauty can also lift the emotion of depression, and strengthen your sense of self worth. Power Mantra: "I speak my truth in a kind, and loving manner. I am open to being a channel for my higher guidance, so that I may receive the answers that will best serve me, along my journey."

@leafmoldandtarot storenvy com
Deck used: Dark Days Tarot by Wren McMurdo
If you're holding on to any old hurt, now is a good time to let it go. July calls forth the energy of the King of Cups, a wise and gentle energy that's here to tell us it will all be okay. Negative emotions can feel like a burden, especially if we carry them around long past their relevance. It's okay to feel them, but at a certain point it's good to show yourself the compassion needed to heal and move on. You don't need to forgive and forget, just remember to feel so much love for yourself that it overshadows everything else. The energy this month is sure to help you unlock new sources of emotional strength and fortitude as you journey onward. Don't be afraid of working through it, for the path towards emotional intelligence and security can be a scary one. If you're not used to feeling through your emotions, it can be easy to seek to avoid them and never truly deal with them. Stick with it, trust that this king has your back, and that this month will support your journey.
August brings a swift change in energy with it. The Knight of Swords is about action on the mental level. It's a time to sharpen your mental abilities and move forward with new ideas and projects. It should feel good to stretch your legs and flex your power at this time, but try to maintain a speed where you feel comfortable and in control. It can be easy to overdo with this kind of energy, and sprinting through life is a good way to miss key points and tire yourself out. It's best to allow the energy to guide you without allowing it to take over. Resist distractions that tempt derailment from your goals. Keeping focused and clear on what you hope to achieve will help you not get caught up in a whirlwind of frantic activity, but settled on what is truly important. Move through the month fearlessly knowing that you're taking great strides forward.
It's going to be important to focus on the big picture these next two months. Our day to day activities are just a small part of the overall path our lives take. And beyond that, our lives are just a small aspect of the greater world around us. The World challenges us to think long-term and big picture. Each action we take has the opportunity to aid or derail us along our journey. Choose wisely where you exert yourself, and try not to be too hard on yourself for every little thing. It's okay to have off days, so long as you keep at your goals and progress when you're able. You may be approaching the end of a cycle, or some closure may come your way. It's important to understand that the world will keep turning and offering us new opportunities and challenges. And that it's a wonderful gift to be alive.

How to Manifest Anything! Demetria Black @ www.demetriablack.com I am of the belief, we are all very powerful manifestors, we’re always in creative mode. Our thoughts, beliefs and energy make this possible. So, it is extremely vital for us to be present in the awareness of our thought life, what it is we truly believe about ourselves as well as our personal energy.
These three ingredients: thought, beliefs and energy are in constant motion; streaming our powerful energetic signal out into the Universe, who is responsible for reflecting these signals back to us with a physical manifestation of into our lives.
Many of us aren't getting out of life what we truly desire or even intend to create such as; the manifestation of love, relationships, career, success, money, enjoyment of life, family, lifestyle, leisure travel, friendships, adventure, health/ fitness or even the satisfaction of life in general which for many seem out of reach. The first question I’m often asked is, “What am I doing wrong?" Or “Why am I not receiving the things I'm trying to manifest?”
There’s one answer to both of these questions, which is we're all manifesting in two parts. And both of these two parts utilize the same thoughts, beliefs and energy system that govern our ability to create with the dynamics of Universal Law. We know these two parts as subconscious and conscious.
Our subconscious, is that part of ourselves we'd rather avoid. You know, the parts of Self where we don't belief we measure up with thoughts of comparison and self-judgment seeping into our actions. Or it may be a belief system we've been locked into by accepting it as our own truth such as believing in statements like, “the struggle is real” or money doesn't grow on trees or maybe you believe you just weren't meant to be happy. Although, the verses may vary the song is still the same and, this recording is playing on repeat in a never ceasing loop, inwardly in your subconscious thought life which has adverse effects your energy as well as your actions.
Now, our conscious thoughts, beliefs and emotions tell us a different story. We have wonderful affirmations, the greatest faith and we are firm in beliefs and, our goals, dreams, aspirations, desires and spiritual pursuits are rock solid in their foundation. (continues)

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see." -- Bohemian Rhapsody In my long life I have visited many locales and lived in many houses. There is one or two that appear in my dreams on occasion that seem so familiar and yet I cannot place them as being in reality. Strangely configured domiciles that just don't fit into my recollections. Perhaps they are montages from dreams, configured by my subconscious to deal with real life decisions, or perhaps, strange as it may seem, come from past life memories. A dream version of deja vu. Whatever the case, I just wanted to explore the theme
Sometimes we get a "feeling" that something is about to happen, or that we have just avoided, almost like a video replay that shows what might have been. It's a form of deja vu; that tickle of instinct that warns you of something to avoid. I get them sometimes while driving. Almost like seeing myself driving into an accident but in reality, avoiding it. Has anything like that happened to you?

But when we consider what Reality really is, we can There are times when you dream of someone close to you, perhaps deceased, and that dream seems so real, and remains in your consciousness well after you awake. These are Visitations. It is one way that the spirit realm can communicate with us, by tapping into our subconscious while we are asleep. It can also foretell a real life experience yet to happen, such as a love connection, or a fulfillment of a desire. My father was rather conservative, and I doubt that he would have imagined where my life path has led me. Yet, there was a dream only a few years ago, where I saw my father, as lifelike as ever, and he welcomed me as

What we "see" as motion is really just a string of still images, 24 per second, that register on our retinas, and that our brains string together like a movie. In fact, TV and movies do the same thing, stringing together still images to make it seem like movement. But consider that for a moment: are we really seeing reality? Or is this a video that our brains are projecting into our consciousness? When we dream, is it just our brains creating desires and problems to be worked out, or is it night time entertainment?

Spirituality – The Modern Man, The Hidden Past & The Doorway To Infinity Spencer Dearing @ www.lionhaeartliving.com
This day and age bring about a plethora of methods to raising one’s consciousness, becoming aware and understanding hidden truths. It is like never before have we; The Modern Man, come to realize that there is something much more powerful at work, even within the entire negative dribble that feeds from leaky mainstream pipes. We are coming closer to the Age of Aquarius, which would bring about the tides of truth. The media would have you not be Spiritually Awake, for you then represent a quake in their agenda. However, the cycles of time show that what was; Hidden Past, is now coming into the light.
Spirituality is a very broad topic, it is a term used in safety measure for it does not quite allow offending, while not giving justice against religious teachings. It can be grey area. Fear not my friends; light has shed upon what would be best suited to this term: Spirituality.
Spirituality creates an exciting methodology for placing life’s philosophical teachings, modalities and such into a way of living that represents a harmony within The Universe. It will, undoubtedly create an authenticity in the individual that will resonate on the three facets: Mind, Body &amp; Spirit. This is a good thing and should be a continuous goal for that individual “seeking.”
Offering a magnificent journey that we all deeply desire will bring about experiences that usually bring the person to a critical point where it is essential to step out of the box and away from the Group Mind.
A developing love of Nature begins to strengthen and solidify within the heart of the individual being and so from there, if they wish to “seek” deeper, will begin to listen to what Nature, Mother Gaia has to teach and will eventually conceptualize the Laws of Nature, moreover, the Laws of the Universe. The Laws of the Universe are essential for one to know and use at will. Understanding the Laws will allow the individual to develop a life of abundance, happiness, harmony and of course, LOVE!
Once more, Spirituality is not some “way out there” hippie, occult thing, nor is it a religious, strict and rigid box mind set. Spirituality represents Freedom, because no one can really pin down the word to any such object, belief, person or circumstance, it would be best suited as Freedom.
Now, the best thing one could do after reading this article would be to meditate on the suggested opinions and concepts above. While meditating/contemplating, try to really feel, not think, but feel, how this may be in effect in your life. How does Spirituality resonate within you? How would you define it within your Spirit? What can you do to open yourself up to the Universe?
How does Spirituality resonate within you? How would you define it within your Spirit? What can you do to open yourself up to the Universe? Lastly, The Universal Laws are of something of magnificence, it can be difficult to grasp some of these Laws as you may find they goes against your current programming. Rest assured, the Universe is looking out for you, and is designing itself for you and you for it. Allow yourself to enter the hallway that holds the Doorway to Infinity. Be brave and step through, what you may find will change your Life forever, for the better. I'll see you on the other side!
