What things came up for you at the full moon on Saturday, lovely? I found it to be a very emotional time, plunging the depths of my psyche and coming up with transformational pearls. I know that all sounds a bit dramatic, but truly I feel like my perspective and now my life has changed. I realized that I had set up my life around rejection; both avoiding it at all costs, and then going towards it when I felt low. I never realized that I had set up (mentally) my life in this pattern, and it disturbed and saddened me. I allowed myself to cry as I saw all the opportunities I had passed up, all the friends I had sent away or never met, and how I had been treating myself, adhering to this thought pattern. I then made a promise to myself that from now on I would consciously set my life up around accepting, loving, and respecting myself. Everything has changed, including the way I feel about me. I’m now so exited to exercise everyday (if you know me at all, this should blow you away lol), I find that people are friendlier to me, and I walk with my head held high. Am I still scared about future endeavors or moving forward on big projects? Totally, but then I remind myself I’m only taking this one day at a time. My road to success and abundance will be paved with the day I’m living right now. I feel like something in me has been set free; I’m finally allowing myself to live the way I’m designed to. So my question for you this week: What have you set your life up around?

Go ahead and pick a card from above. The cards are numbered left to right; 1, 2, 3. The stone you see in the picture is rose quartz. Rose Quartz is a mothering crystal, inspiring nurturing of the self if one has lost their own mother. It promotes bonding and is a good stone to place on the stomach during pregnancy, and to take to the hospital to be near the baby during birth. It is also soothing in the days to follow. Placing baby milk or food within a circle of Rose Quartz for a few minutes helps ease colic or feeding difficulties. To call in love or strengthen a romantic relationship, place pink roses and twin Rose Quartz hearts on a private love altar and light pink candles, or enclose a photo of yourself and a lover within a heart shape of tiny Rose Quartz crystals. Rose Quartz may also be placed by the bed or in the relationship corner of the home to restore trust and harmony, and encourage unconditional love. As a stone of love, tenderness and sensuality, Rose Quartz is a powerful aphrodisiac, stimulating sensual imagination. Rose Quartz is a wonderful sleep crystal for adults and children, providing beautiful dreams as well as preventing nightmares or night terrors. It also helps children to not be afraid of the dark. Rose Quartz is a calming and reassuring crystal, excellent for use in trauma or crisis, including the emotional upheaval of mid-life crisis. It strengthens empathy, sensitivity, and aids in the acceptance of necessary change. It is also an excellent stone for comforting grief.

My hope for you this week is that you can uncover limiting behavior and mental patterns. I hope that you can see them for what they are; a chance to learn and grow. A life full of happiness, love, joy and peace is what you were built for. Decide today that you’re ready to live the life that you deserve, and start the journey towards your authentic self.

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
