💚Reiki Tip: If you are feeling a little stressed, try this: visualise a ball of white light over your head and infuse the ball with the symbols of your choice. Imagine the ball expanding to encompass your whole body and sit for a moment in this healing bubble of light and love. Affirm: I am safe. I am protected. All is well💚✨

There’s something so peaceful about being among the trees. Their quiet strength and steady presence remind me of how much we can learn from them. 🌿

When life feels heavy, I notice how the trees stand tall through every season — bending with the wind, shedding what they no longer need, and trusting that new growth will come.

Through their stillness and movement, they teach us how to handle life’s changes with grace.

Sometimes when something’s troubling me, I’ll sit beneath a tree and just listen.

In their calm, I find answers — not in words, but in the way they simply are. They remind me to stay grounded, to be patient, and to trust the natural rhythm of life.

Nature has a way of reflecting our own journeys back to us.

The trees, especially, show us that even when things seem still, growth is always happening — deep within. 🌱💚

Flame Jasper

A grounding and protective stone known for its swirling, flame-like patterns in earthy tones of brown, gray, red, and sometimes cream.

🌍 Emotional & Spiritual Benefits

• Grounding energy:
Connects you deeply to the Earth, helping calm scattered thoughts and emotions.

• Stability & balance:
Encourages emotional steadiness during times of stress or change.

• Inner strength:
The flame-like patterns symbolize endurance, courage, and the fire within — making it great for confidence and determination.

• Protection:
Believed to shield the aura from negative energy and emotional drain.

• Mindfulness aid:
Its gentle, grounding frequency helps with staying present and centered — ideal for meditation or nature journaling.



💪 Physical & Energetic Benefits

• Restores vitality:
Said to reignite passion and motivation when you feel tired or uninspired.

• Supports healing:
Jasper is traditionally known as the “supreme nurturer,” believed to boost the body’s natural healing energy.

• Improves focus:
Helps clear mental fog and promotes a steady flow of concentration.



💫 Symbolism

• Brown tones represent connection, grounding, and nurturing.

• Gray tones symbolize neutrality, balance, and protection.

• Together, they balance the elemental energies of Earth (brown) and Air (gray) — grounding yet mentally clear.



🔮 Chakra Associations

• Root Chakra (Muladhara):
Its brown tones strongly connect with the Root Chakra, grounding you, bringing safety, stability, and a sense of belonging to the Earth.

• Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana):
The subtle flame patterns awaken creative flow and emotional warmth, inspiring passion and purpose.

• Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura):
Its inner “fire” boosts courage and self-belief — perfect for those who want to reclaim personal power gently but firmly.

• Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) (secondary connection):
The gray tones can calm mental chatter, enhancing clarity and intuitive insight.

Together, this makes Flame Jasper a root-to-crown balancer — grounding yet gently awakening your inner fire and intuition.



♈ Zodiac Connections

• Aries & Leo: Aligns with fiery determination, amplifying passion and drive without burnout.

• Capricorn & Taurus: Deeply grounding, offering emotional strength, endurance, and patience.

• Virgo: Encourages self-compassion and steadiness when perfectionism creeps in.

In truth, it’s a stone that suits all signs — especially anyone seeking balance between action and rest, spirit and body.



🌕 Elemental Energy

• Element: Earth & Fire
• Earth keeps you rooted and calm.
• Fire inspires movement, creativity, and transformation.

The harmony between the two creates a stable flame — strong, consistent, and nurturing rather than chaotic.

🪶 How to Use It

• Carry it in your pocket or wear it as jewelry for daily balance.

• Hold it during meditation to anchor your thoughts and energy.

• Place it in your home or workspace to promote calm, stable energy.

Nature journaling is a deeply mindful practice that blends observation, reflection, and creativity. It invites you to slow down, connect with the natural world, and see life as it truly is—alive, interconnected, and constantly changing.

🌿 The Mindfulness Behind Nature Journaling:

1. Presence and Awareness
This focus on “what is” rather than “what if” is the essence of mindfulness.

2. Non-judgmental Observation
Nature journaling teaches you to observe without labeling things as “beautiful” or “ugly,” “right” or “wrong.” You simply see. Each detail becomes valuable in its own way. This acceptance mirrors mindfulness meditation, where you notice thoughts and feelings without judgment.

3. Slowing Down the Mind
The simple act of sketching or writing about what’s in front of you slows your thoughts and grounds your energy. It’s a quiet form of meditation—active, yet peaceful.

4. Connection and Compassion
As you study a bee, a tree, or a cloud, you start to feel kinship with it. This connection nurtures empathy and reinforces the understanding that all life is intertwined—a perfect match for your belief in “love for all.”

🌸 The Benefits of Nature Journaling

1. Calms the Nervous System
Being outdoors and engaging your senses lowers stress hormones, steadies the breath, and brings a sense of peace.

2. Enhances Focus and Creativity
Observing the natural world boosts curiosity and trains attention, which also enhances creative thinking and problem-solving.

3. Improves Mental Clarity and Emotional Balance
Writing and sketching give form to your thoughts and feelings, helping release emotional tension and cultivate gratitude.

4. Deepens Connection to the Earth
By recording what you see and feel in nature, you build a personal relationship with your environment. Over time, you notice seasonal changes, wildlife behaviors, and ecological patterns—fostering stewardship and appreciation.

5. Supports Self-Reflection and Growth
The journal becomes a mirror of your own journey—each page reflecting not just what you observed, but who you were in that moment.

🌿 Step-by-Step Guide to a Mindful Nature Journaling Practice

1. Create Your Sacred Space
• Choose a quiet spot in nature—a garden, park, forest, or even a balcony with plants.
• Sit comfortably and take a few slow, conscious breaths.
• Feel your body grounded, your senses awake, your heart open.

🕊 This is your invitation to be fully present.



2. Set an Intention

Before opening your journal, take a moment to silently express your purpose.
Example intentions:
• “To witness life as it unfolds.”
• “To honour all living things with loving attention.”
• “To listen to what nature wants to teach me.”

Intentions anchor your awareness and transform journaling into a mindful ritual rather than a task.



3. Engage the Senses

Mindfulness begins through the senses. Spend a few minutes just noticing:
• Sight: colours, patterns, movement, light.
• Sound: rustling leaves, bird calls, wind, distant water.
• Touch: texture of bark, warmth of sun, coolness of air.
• Smell: earth, flowers, rain.
• Emotion: what you feel in response—calm, awe, gratitude, stillness.

Write or sketch whatever calls to you.



4. Observe and Record

You don’t need to be an artist or a poet—only an observer.
Let curiosity lead you. Some ideas:
• Draw a leaf or feather and label its details.
• Describe a bird’s behaviour or a flower’s shape.
• Note the date, weather, time, and your mood.
• Write a few mindful reflections such as:
“The clouds drift slowly—reminding me to let things move in their own time.”

This is the heart of the practice: to notice without rushing, to honour what is present.



5. Reflect and Connect

After journaling, take a moment to reflect:
• What did nature show me today?
• How do I feel after sitting in stillness?
• What lesson or message might this moment hold?

You might write something like:

“The ant carrying a crumb reminds me that small steps still move mountains.”



6. Close with Gratitude

Before leaving, thank the space around you—the earth beneath, the air, the plants, the creatures—for sharing their energy.
You might write:

“Thank you, sky and soil, for your quiet wisdom today.”

This seals the moment in love and awareness.

Peacock Ore — my FAVOURITE stone! 🥰❤️🩷🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Also known as Bornite or sometimes Chalcopyrite (when it has that vibrant rainbow sheen) — is a stunning, iridescent crystal often called the “stone of happiness.” 🌈

Here are its main benefits and meanings:

🌟 Emotional & Spiritual Benefits
• Uplifts the spirit: Helps bring joy, positivity, and a sense of playfulness, especially during challenging times.
• Energy cleansing: Clears negative energies from your aura and environment.
• Encourages self-confidence: Promotes self-acceptance and helps you embrace your true colours — just like its rainbow shimmer.
• Increases perception: Said to open your third eye and enhance intuition and insight.
• Spiritual transformation: Assists with awakening and connecting to higher consciousness.

💖 Healing & Balancing
• Balances chakras: Its rainbow colours correspond to all chakras, helping to realign and balance your energy flow.
• Restores vitality: Used to combat fatigue, stress, and low mood by revitalizing your energy field.
• Promotes harmony: Helps in resolving inner conflict and bringing emotional balance.

⚡ Metaphysical Uses
• Great for meditation and energy healing practices.
• Often used to amplify joy and creativity in the home or workspace.
• Can help those feeling spiritually “stuck” reconnect with their purpose and excitement for life.

🌿 Cleansing Peacock Ore

Because Peacock Ore is a copper-based mineral, it’s not water-safe — so avoid cleansing it with water or saltwater (it can dull or damage the surface).

Here are safe cleansing methods instead:
1. Smoke Cleansing (Smudging):
Pass it through the smoke of sage, palo santo, incense, or herbs like rosemary or cedar to clear away any stagnant energy.
2. Sound Cleansing:
Use a singing bowl, chime, or tuning fork to release built-up energetic residue through sound vibration.
3. Selenite or Clear Quartz:
Place your Peacock Ore on a selenite slab or next to a clear quartz cluster for several hours. These stones naturally purify and recharge other crystals.
4. Moonlight:
Leave it under the light of the full moon overnight — this is gentle and energetically refreshing. (Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as it can fade the colours.)



⚡ Charging Peacock Ore

Once cleansed, you can recharge its energy with any of the following:
1. Intention Setting:
Hold the stone in your hands, close your eyes, and focus on what you want it to help you with (e.g., joy, confidence, spiritual insight).
Say your intention aloud or in your mind — this programs the crystal with your energy.
2. Sunlight (briefly):
A few minutes of morning sunlight can reactivate its vibrant energy — just don’t leave it for hours.
3. Crystal Grid or Charging Plate:
Place it in a grid with other energizing stones like citrine, carnelian, or pyrite to boost its vibration.
4. Visualization:
Imagine a warm golden or rainbow light surrounding the stone, filling it with positive, radiant energy.

What is Etheric Cord Cutting?

A powerful practice that helps you release emotional attachments to people, places, animals, objects, and past events. These energetic structures connect your energy to others, often leaving you drained or stuck in their emotions.

Imagine invisible strings linking you to others, influencing your mood and well-being. Cutting these cords frees you from unhealthy emotional ties, allowing you to declutter your emotional space and breathe easier.

My favourite way to do this is by smudging and burning incense after a long day at work. Others stick to the visualisation techniques and even salt baths.

It doesn't matter how you do it, just find what works best for you!

The benefits are numerous:
- Emotional detachment and freedom
- Healthier boundary setting
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved relationships
- Increased self-awareness

It's not about severing ties completely, but about releasing attachments that no longer serve you.

By incorporating etheric cord cutting into your daily meditation practice, you can create a healthier mind and environment for yourself and those around you.

A better you for your family and loved ones!

Even a few minutes a day can make a difference – find a rhythm that works for you, and start cutting those cords!
