Your Spiritual Practice is Crucial Right Now

By Krista Mitchell

I know the energy of the collective right now is heavy. Intense. The increased solar and geomagnetic activity is serving to amplify this (it’s also serving to evolve us, but I’ll get into that topic at another time).
We cannot avoid being emotionally impacted by the collective because we are a part of it.
But we don’t have to suffer in darkness, either.
When we’re in fear we feel more disconnected from Source, our intuition, ourselves, and each other, and we can find it hard to cope, function, thrive, or navigate our lives in a way that is beneficial.
It can also make it challenging to be of service to others when we’re needed – trust me, I know this firsthand!
For my part, I’ve come to a place where I feel that as long as I do my daily practice, I’ll be ok.
I’d like that to be true for you, too.

Introduction to Spirit Journeying: Preparation — The Druids Garden

Spirit Journeying is a technique that we use commonly in the druid tradition, but it certainly is not unique to only our tradition.  In fact, spirit journeying is what I’d consider being a core human spiritual practice, being used by different peoples throughout time.  The more people that I meet who follow different traditions, and…

DECEMBER 2022 FORECAST

We finish 2022 with a shift of energies and a changing worldview. In many ways, the intensity and frustration of 2022 set the stage for a much more eventful 2023. All the Jupiter/Neptune in Pisces energy, plus Mars Retrograde from October 30-January 13, 2023 make it difficult to evaluate 2022 and take action without the benefit of additional hindsight.

This need for review gets amplified by ending the year with Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn. Time to dot your i’s and cross your t’s. Mercury remains Retrograde until January 18, 2023 when Mercury stations Direct on the same day that the Sun conjuncts Pluto. We can expect something deep and profound to arise from our retrospection, but this year ends with a backwards look and suspended animation.

For now, tend to the things you can control and influence. In some cases that might “just” mean prayer and meditation…

New Moon in Sagittarius ~ November 23, 2022 — Laura Bruno’s Blog

The Healing Magic of 432 Hz + Crystals

There’s a magic that happens when we combine crystal energy with sound frequencies:
It has an alchemical harmonizing effect that we experience right down to a cellular level. Congruence is a powerful thing to consider, because right now our world is heavily incongruent (war, illness, pollution, tyrannical politics, social injustice, harmful tech, etc.).The incongruence is felt by our nervous system, which is then destabilizing to the energy patterns of our body, mind, and souls. Conversely, when we experience greater harmony, congruence within, we can re-establish wellness and balance.→ This isn’t a new concept, btw, it’s the fundamental upon which energy healing is based.
So back to 432 Hz and crystals:
Studies have begun to show that listening to music at the frequency of 432 Hz helps to slow our heart rate, lower blood pressure, and deepen our breathing – it has the opposite effect of stress on these systems. What I’ve found is that in pairing 432 hz music with congruent crystal frequencies I feel: a decompressing effect on my nervous system deeper relaxation spaciousness and ease within more grounded presence and embodiment greater compassion for myself and others. My intuition and spiritual connection to the ALL exponentially increases. I experience greater feelings of abundance, possibility, and something very precious to me: HOPE.
