Energy shift 09/09/09

So we're here today and the world hasn't ended. Unless of course it has and this is all a dream... which it might be. Chuang Tzu once wrote after he dreamed he was a butterfly... how could he be sure that he was Chuang Tzu dreaming he was a butterfly and not a butterfly dreaming he was Chuang Tzu when he awoke?

Anyway assuming we're all here what's happened? I've noticed subtle changes both within me and people around me. More confidence and optimism mostly. Perhaps an inner strength. I've been working with metamorphosis quartz to promote these changes and will carry on with it. I wonder if anyone else has noticed anything?

Several groups have suggested lighting a candle today to send healing energy out to someone or somewhere it's needed. I'll be doing that tonight at 9pm. Feel free to join in or light a candle and just think of someone else any time today.

"Shift happens!" Energy shift 09/09/09

There seems to be a lot of strange ramblings on the internet about a possible energy shift on 9th September so I thought I'd add my own crystalline thoughts to these! As the saying goes "shift happens!"

There are always energy shifts going on. Some people are more sensitive than others to these shifts and all sorts of feelings can be experienced. I always think that it is the small changes that can shift us in a big way. Look out for these subtle shifts in the flow of universal energy and try and sit in the flow of the energy - don't try and fight it just go with it and the changes will speed into your life. All change is good, even if it feels uncomfortable at the time. Without change nothing happens and as I've already said "shift happens" and you can't stop it, but you can make it easier with crystals. (I said I'd add my crystalline thoughts!)

Crystals for change: metamorphosis quartz let's you see changes you need to make and helps you to act on this information. Eudialyte and iolite ease the process of change and help to soothe your emotions that bubble up along the way. Eudialyte in particular feels as if it's gently bathing your heart centre in healing energy. Amethyst, Apache tears, black banded agate, dioptase, moonstone and ruby can all help ease change in different ways too and crocoite (known as the divorce stone) helps to ease the really big shifts that take place in your life.
