“Summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind.”Nature's healing breezes

I love the chorus of this Seals & Crofts song.  It reminds me how much I enjoyed running and playing in the wind as a child.  I felt invincible being with Nature’s energy breezes. As an adult, I can always count on Nature’s healing breezes when kayaking.

During my early morning walks, I am entertained by watching the fir trees dance with the breezes.  It is those early morning breezes that clears out the cobwebs and frees my mind.

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” ~Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

The following quote reminds us how important it is to recognize all of Nature’s Healing Gifts: “And I learned what is obvious to a child. That is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.” ~ Nicholas Sparks, author

Energy Channeling with Quartz Crystal

June 24th, 2013 | Posted by Velda in GEMSTONES

energy channeling with hand & crystalEnergy channeling releases excess energy by holding a single terminated quartz crystal in one hand and placing the palm of the other hand on an area of over-excited energy. 1. Start this exercise by holding a quartz crystal in the right hand with the point of the crystal directed toward the ground. (Crystal size about 3 inches long and as small as the diameter of a thumb.)  2. Place the palm of your left hand over any area of the body that you feel tense, irritated, hot, congested, or frustrated.  3. Breathe deeply and evenly while imagining all the excess energy releasing through the crystal into the earth and away from you. I hope you will remember this exercise when overcome by harmful negative thoughts.

 

quartz crystal releaseing excess energyPositive thoughts when used with crystal can release a flow of healing energy towards ourselves and others. To recharge depleted energy or receive extra healing energy, reverse the above exercise. 1. Start with the pointed quartz crystal held in the right hand and aimed towards any area of concerned low energy. 2. Hold your left hand away from the body, with the palm facing upwards. 3. Breathe deeply and evenly, imagine healing energies from the universe passing from your upturned hand, through the crystal and into the designated area of the body. (You may feel warmth or tingling.)  If you would like to read more about healing properties of this amazing gemstone, please go to my search box and enter quartz crystal.

Tuesday's healing word forgiveness

Forgiveness:  the act of forgiving, pardon, overlooking mistakes and letting go of resentments.  Forgiveness frees us from the needless pain of reliving a hurt over and over. Forgiving oneself and others can have a positive impact on the way old wounds heal.  tuesday's word forgivenessThe role of unforgiveness is the opposite of forgiveness in the healing process. Negative emotions associated with unforgiveness can include bitterness, resentment, hostility, anger, hatred and fear.  To truly forgive, one must replace the inner negative emotions of unforgiveness with positive emotions which include love, compassion, and empathy.

forgiveness exercise brings balance & harmonyForgiveness Exercise brings Balance & HarmonyHolding onto anger, fear, or resentment drains our vitality and prevents achieving balance and harmony. Doreen Virtue offers a forgiveness exercise in her book Chakra Clearing-Awakening Your Spiritual Power to Know and Heal. She writes “This is an extremely powerful way to open up any blocked or shrunken chakras.” This exercise takes between 30 minutes or more to complete. Many of Doreen Virtue’s clients and students report the time is a worthwhile investment. Here are the steps to freedom through forgiveness:

1. Know the benefits of forgiveness:  Peacefulness and increased energy are the prizes and forgiveness is the price.  2. Take a forgiveness inventory:  Write the names of all living and deceased beings you feel have wronged or irritated you. This list could be 3 or 4 pages long and almost everyone includes their own name somewhere on the list.  3. Release and forgive:  Select a quiet place where you will have no interruptions and start going down the list one name at a time. Hold an image of the person in your mind and tell him or her, “I FORGIVE YOU AND RELEASE YOU.  I AM FREE AND YOU ARE FREE.”  It is important to complete the entire list in one setting which might take 30 minutes or more.  4. Do nightly releasements: Do a mental review of the day- is there anyone you need to forgive?  It is important not to let resentments accumulate.  Forgiveness is freeing.  Good luck!foregiveness exercise for balance & harmony
