For some reason I am not fond of tea lights. They seem too small for my taste so I have been working on my Earthlights. As you see in the pic above they are like a tea light x 2. These candles burn for approx. 8 hours.

I have received this question many times - "Why don't you include the metaphysical descriptions of the crystals in your listings? I see other shops who have them."
Unfortunately Etsy updated their policies in 2015. Those who sell metaphysical items cannot list or make any promises that an object will effect a physical change or outcome such as weight loss, love, abundance, etc. Etsy shops that are reported to violate their new policies would be asked to remove listings, have the listings removed for them, or have their shop shut down. I believe the listings that were done before this change in policy are ok as I have metaphysical descriptions for my crystal candles in which I listed before this. I don't include any information now because I do not want to take the chance of having my shop shut down. I will start listing metaphysical descriptions here on my blog for reference. Please keep in mind that two people working with the same crystal will probably have different experiences. Every person's energy field is different just like fingerprints. There are countless books stating properties of stones but you need to work with them first hand to know exactly how you will react to them. The crystal that you need you will be drawn to so pay attention to your senses. Intuition is best! Hello! Well, to say the least I've been pretty busy creating some new candles & now wax melts. And they all have crystals inside... YAY! There's nothing you can't add some beautiful crystals to :) If you're interested please check out my etsy shop to view my manifestation crystal candles & wax melts. Blessings!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/226120765/purify-and-protect-manifestation-crystal?ref=shop_home_feat_2 Here I will describe to you how to be a co-creator & tap into or communicate with source energy through using sacred geometry such as The Flower of Life symbol. Remember sacred geometry is the language of the universe from which all is built upon. If you wish to manifest healing for example, you’ll need to communicate this to the energy that creates all. You will want to send this “signal” out to help manifest whatever it is you’re wanting to help create. I must give a word of caution here. If you’re trying to create something that is not in line with the highest good for all you will inevitably create bad karma for yourself. Also, if you’re wanting to manifest something for someone else- get their permission first. You do not want to violate someone else’s free will. God & the angels do not do this & neither should you. To define a crystal grid is the placement of stones in a geometric pattern, that are charged by your intention, for the purpose of directing energy towards a specific goal. A Flower of Life template will help you to create a platform that will communicate your wishes or intensions clearly. There are other symbols you could use but for this post I will just stick to The Flower of Life. We also use crystals in the grid. They are the energy generators. Crystals have a very stable geometric structure & will amplify the energy you are trying to create. First, you need to figure out what it is you are wanting to manifest. Is it in regards to being healthy? Is it to help create abundance for yourself? Do you wish to create protection for you or someone else? There are many different things you could use a crystal grid for- you just need to narrow down exactly what it is you’re wanting to help create. Be specific as possible. This will help to clearly get the message across. Once you know what you would like to manifest, write it down. This will be what you say when you’re activating your grid. Be true to yourself. Write what comes from your heart. This will help deliver the message even more clearly. Next you need to figure out where would be a good place to put your grid. You need to find a place where it won’t be disturbed or tampered with while you have it in place. Some have a sacred space where they keep the energy in the area clean of negative energy (sage smoke, sage spray, etc). This isn’t necessary to do if you don’t already have a space like this. You just need to find an area where there isn’t a lot of different energies (which can come from kids, pets, etc.) buzzing about. You don’t want to add any interfering frequencies to the energy you’re trying to create. Keep it up for as long as you feel the need to. If it gets disturbed then you will need to redo the grid which would be a great opportunity to move it if you’d like. Now it’s time to get your supplies ready. Here’s a quick list of items you’ll need to create your crystal grid. Again, these are just very basic items. I like to keep it simple because I don’t want to overwhelm any first-time crystal gridders. Flower of Life template A center stone or object to place in the center (you can use a candle, picture, anything that is personal to your intention) Surrounding stones Activation point **Some tips here- when deciding on what types of crystals to use & their placement USE YOUR INTUITION. It will come to you. And if it doesn’t right away go do something else for a little while. It might just pop into your head when you’re not even thinking about it. If you just can’t decide use crystal quartz. It is a great stone that is universally used.**
Make sure all of your stones are cleansed & charged. To cleanse your crystals you can do any of the following: Place in water for a few hours Place in salt for a few hours Smudge them with White Sage smoke Use a tuning fork All of these help release any negative energy the crystals may have obtained. Some crystals, such as selenite, will dissolve in water so the other methods are preferred. Next you’ll want to charge the crystals. In the morning place them outside in the sunlight for a couple hours. You are infusing the crystals with prana or life-force energy. Do not leave them in the sun for too long as it will lighten the color of the crystals. I have had crystals that before I placed outside were energy-depleted. These same crystals, after I brought them back inside from being out in the sun, completely amazed me with their energy that was pulsing thru my hand! Now you’re ready to clear the area for your grid. You can cleanse the area with white sage smoke or sage spray if you’d like. A sage spray is great for places where you cannot burn anything. When you clear the area of other/negative energies you will be able to get your “signal” out more clearly. Assemble your components together. Keep a calm energy while doing so. Use your intuition for crystal placement. You can add crystals to the outside of a grid also. Once set up- get your activator point. This point you’ll be using for connecting the crystals by drawing an imaginary line which energetically binds them together. While you’re connecting them read your heartfelt affirmation that you wrote. After you’re finished take a minute to visualize what you’re trying to create becoming a reality. Feel how it would be if your intentions manifested right in front of you. Be in this moment. Once you feel like you’ve completed this state “let it be”. Even though this process may take a little time to do it should not be grueling. Don’t read too much into it. And don’t get discouraged if you feel you didn’t do it right the first time. Practice makes perfect and you can always create another grid. In the next week or so I will be offering Flower of Life grids, crystal quartz sets, activator points, and special intention candles in my Etsy shop. If you would like a more in-depth “how to” of crystal gridding I highly recommend Hibiscus Moon’s book Crystal Grids. It is an amazing book & she gives such detailed information on this subject. Have you ever heard that there really is no “negative” energy. If you have heard of this then you were probably left wondering “well, what about all of those people/entities that do horrible things?” Let me say that when someone states this- what they are really meaning is negative energy is RELATIVE. What might be negative energy to you might not be to someone else. I will include the following chart to help explain this a bit further. In regards to this chart remember that everything is made of energy & has its own (range of) frequency.
I left out all numbers just to keep this as simple as possible. On the left you will see that the chart runs from high to low frequency. The red diamonds represent the frequencies of the names underneath them and the yellow circle represents just a general energy frequency (this could be anything such as a dog, cat, ghost, whatever you would like it to be). Do you see how this energy is a lower frequency than me & you? This would be considered a “negative” energy to both of us. But to our friend this frequency would be a positive energy because it is higher in frequency than his/her own. What I’m trying to establish here is that just because an energy is negative to you doesn’t mean it couldn’t be positive for someone else. It is relative to what that person’s frequency is. It’s also important to keep in mind that frequencies are always fluctuating (with the exception of crystals due to their atomic structure). Keep a positive outlook- getting angry will only lower your frequency & you don’t want to be rubbing shoulders with some un-friendlies :) Have you heard of sacred geometry? Have you ever heard or read about The Flower of Life? I am writing this article for those of you who haven’t dealt with this topic much & who would like to know more about it. I’m going to try to inform you the simplest way possible. Those of you who do know about sacred geometry- the topic can get a bit complicated. I will try not to overload you with information so let’s get started… Have you ever noticed the basic forms or shapes of things around you? Look around and try to count how many shapes you see. Have you noticed that these shapes are mostly symmetrical? Symmetrical means if you cut the object in half you would have a remaining half that is a copy of the other. And have you realized that if one side is not an exact copy of the other it is referred to as being “de-formed”? There are many shapes around us that we are normally too busy to notice. Just from the small count you did of shapes earlier you probably seen them repeating pretty much everywhere you looked. This is no coincidence. Geometric forms are the basis for how this physical world & everything around us is created. You can think of it as the formula for creating things. Everything- first and foremost- is made up of energy. Energy is composed of a frequency or vibration. You yourself have your own specific range of frequency with your body being the physical manifestation of it. In our world objects typically have 2 halves with a center axis that is used for energy exchange in which all living things require. Even though solid objects are solid they also fall in this category as their mass is having atoms vibrating together in a group as well. To present some evidence you can see what different frequencies create here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9GBf8y0lY0 Do you see the geometry it creates? Did you notice the higher the frequency the more complex the shape(s) that were created? Pretty awesome, right?! The whole premise is there was once a single point of source energy, our creator. From thought this source, symbolically represented as the center circle below, created a duality (male/female energy, yin yang, etc) and from then which sprung the universe & all the things you see around you were created. With each additional day of creation the symbol of “The Seed of Life” is formed. (Shown two dimensional) With Source Energy expanding outward even further with its creation additional circles are added to The Seed of Life. This symbol that is then created is called “The Egg of Life”. There are several interesting facts about this structure. First, it is the basis for music. The distances between the spheres are identical to the distances between the notes/tones & half-notes in music. Also, you may notice it looks remarkably like a cell. This stage of embryonic development was particularly important to the Egyptians as they believed this is when the embryo started to radiate electrical impulses thus drawing the soul into physical manifestation. Below is an art rendering of the different stages of cell division. This evidence shows how the human body is created by the same principles: This looks eerily similar to The Egg of Life doesn’t it? Both are the same concept just with one being three dimensional. If the Creator or Source Energy keeps expanding additional circles are added & this brings us to the sacred symbol of “The Flower of Life” (two dimensional view): The Flower of Life can be found in many different religions throughout the world. One of the earliest depictions of this symbol was found on a stone monument in an ancient Egyptian temple. The Flower of Life contains Metatron’s Cube as well as all of the Platonic Solids. The Platonic Solids are the building blocks of the universe (pictured bottom). Metatron’s Cube (two dimensional view) Platonic Solids (three dimensional view)
You see the Platonic Solids as the shapes you see all around you. The Flower of Life, which contains all of these symbols, is the most significant symbol of sacred geometry as it is a representation of Source Energy & how everything is inter-connected. Each circle contains that of the “whole” meaning we are all connected. Geometrically speaking you cannot build a structure and then try to take a piece out as it would fall apart. As all symbols stand for something, The Flower of Life is symbolic of creation. It depicts the fundamental forms of space & time, the Morphogenetic field. This field contains all that is and all that will be. When The Flower of Life is used it aligns one with whatever you’re using it for. In a later post I will describe to how you can tap into the Morphogenetic field by using this symbol with crystals to help you create & build the world around you. Source: Livestrong.com
The Kokum plant is native to India. People in the western Ghat region of India have long used kokum as both spice and medicine. Recent research suggests that it may have potential as an appetite suppressant, as a protector of brain health and as a cancer preventative. But this laboratory research needs to be followed up with clinical studies in humans to confirm its usefulness. The Kokum Plant Kokum, whose botanical name is Garcinia indica, is an ornamental fruit tree native to India. Its tiny fruit turns from red to deep purple as it ripens, and is harvested and dried in the spring. The dried rind of the fruit, used as a culinary and medicinal agent, is almost black tinged with purple, has gnarly edges and is slightly sticky, according to “Healing Spices.” It has a somewhat sour taste but a faint, slightly sweet aroma. Kokum in Ayurveda Ayurvedic physicians have long used kokum to treat sores, prevent infection, improve digestion, alleviate diarrhea and constipation, lessen arthritis pain, cure ear infections and heal stomach ulcers, states “Healing Spices.” Kokum Today Kokum’s major active ingredient is garcinol, a substance that has antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It seems able to kill the H. pylori bacteria that cause ulcers, promote brain health by aiding the growth of neurons while stopping damage from substances that can oxidize them, and suppress production of reactive oxygen species which play a role in cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also contains hydroxycitric acid or HCA, an appetite suppressant, reports “Healing Spices.” Kokum butter, an emollient similar to shea or cocoa butter, is often used in cosmetics such as lipsticks, moisturizing creams, conditioners and soaps. Kokum Research Researchers at the Institute of Science and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai, India, have shown that kokum’s antioxidant activities are stronger than those of many other spices, fruits and vegetables. Their research, which involved rats, was published in “Current Science.” Researchers from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and the Patil University of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research in Pune, India, published an article in the “Journal of Hematology & Oncology” suggesting that kokum could be a useful anticancer agent. However, research in humans is still needed. |
