It’s also the birthstone for November, but who needs and excuse right ?
​
For me ... Citrine is like solidified SUNSHINE.  
 
When I tune into the energy of Citrine, it always brings a big smile to my face.  

It brings a brightness and happiness into my energy field, it shifts me into positivity, and I’m ready for anything.
 
It’s joyful sunny energy chases away the blues. It boosts my confidence, lifts me up, and cheers me on like an old friend encouraging me to reach for the stars, and follow my bliss.
 
I often wear, or carry CITRINE whenever I need a boost, or to shake myself out of a funk, or to actively ‘manifest’ whatever I want to draw into my life.  
 
It helps to quiet that pesky voice in my head, which sometimes holds me back, and tells me that I can’t​ achieve something, that I’m not good enough, that people will laugh at me, the one that keeps me ‘small’.
 
Citrine lifts my heart, holds my hand, and whispers ... ‘YES YOU CAN’.
 
When you can actively shift your energy into a happier more positive place, everything changes.  Your energy changes, your frequency lifts, and everything feels a little easier right ? 
 
And so I love it.  

Anyone who ‘feels’ crystal energy will understand what I mean.

If you’ve never experienced crystal energy … then there’s a whole ‘Harry Potter’ world out there waiting for you to discover it, if you’re open minded enough to try ;-)
 
If crystal energy isn’t your bag, then that’s totally cool too.  
 
Citrine is beautiful to look at, it even looks happy ! 
 
In terms of energy centres, citrine works to the Solar Plexus Chakra. The ‘seat of personal power’, governing confidence, creativity, willpower and your ability to make your way in the world.  It also covers your digestion, and your 'gut'.
 
Energy blocks in Solar Plexus chakra can sometimes hold you back in life, affecting your confidence, somehow stopping you achieving what you want in life, perhaps allowing your ‘inner critic’ to run the show, and keeping you ‘small’. 
 
You might feel out of sorts, unsettled, lacking direction, have digestive or 'gut' problems, or you have the 'blues'.  Perhaps your get up and go, has got up and gone, and your mojo is missing? You might want to try your hand at active 'manifestation', play with the energy of the 'Law of Attraction', and be in the driving seat of your life.

If that's you then, definitely checkout CITRINE and see if you can't bring a little sunshine back into your life :)
 
This might be a bit of a mad thought … but if Citrine was an animal, I reckon it might be a LION. All golden and confident, powerful, self assured, not a care in the world, basking in the sun, and achieving with ease and grace.  Not sure that analogy totally works, but you get the drift ! 
 
I believe CITRINE can help bring a little sunshine into anyone’s life.  

Especially now, when the days are getting shorter and the sun is starting to go into hibernation for the winter I love to have it around me.
 
The act of gifting Citrine to someone who needs a boost is a beautiful thing, and it just happens to be the birthstone for November.

​Please don't doggedly stick to birthstones when shopping for crystals.  Think about what type of energy you want to draw into your life, and notice what crystals you're attracted to. 

People get so hung up on birthstones, and feel they can only gift someone their birthstone (but that's a whole different blog topic !).  

As a Master/Teacher in Crystal Healing, I'm all about the energy of the crystals.  

For me it's simple.  When you're attracted to a crystal, then there's ALWAYS a reason, so it's about learning to disengage the brain, and TRUSTING your intuition.

​Crystals call to you for a reason, and the body always knows, the mind sometimes just get's in the way !   By all means read all the amazing information on crystals, but try to learn to trust your GUT, and go ahead and invite that beautiful crystal energy into your life.

All my gemstone jewellery is handmade with love by me (and only me), then infused with a beautiful channelled Reiki healing energy at Master level, for you (or the intended recipient's) highest good.  

My jewellery comes boxed, ready for gifting, and you'll get TWO A4 printed sheets of lovely crystal information, written by me, to soak up.  The first is the beautiful metaphysical properties of the crystal(s), and the other is how to cleanse, programme, & tune-into the energy of crystals, plus care information ... so you (or the lucky gift recipient) gets loads of great info to read.

I'm blessed to have lots of amazing CUSTOMER REVIEWS which you can also read :)
 
Wishing you all a beautiful day.

Lots of love,

As we move into the Autumn Equinox, where day and night are of equal length … the seasons change, and we officially head into Autumn (Sunday 23rd 02.54 am UK time).
 
The energy of the Autumn Equinox is all about slowing down, ‘balance’, ‘inner reflection’, and 'gratitude'.

As we welcome in this new season, make sure to pause for a moment, and TAKE TIME FOR YOU.  

It's a time of harvest, and the perfect time check in with yourself, and take time to reflect back over the last few months.  

What 'seeds' or ideas that you planted germinated, and grew well, and what what didn't? What can you learn from this, and what new seeds will you plant in the future?

The energies around the Equinox are powerful.  They can be 'felt' in the days leading up to, and for a few days after, so if you’re been feeling energetically  ‘out of kilter’ you’re not going crazy.  

​You might feel more tired than usual, and if you are, it's perfectly normal.  Best advice is to listen to your body, and go with the flow, rather than try to fight it.
 
A few ideas from me to mark the Autumn Equinox:-

• PRESS THE PAUSE BUTTON on life.  Take some time for yourself today or the next few days.  Even if it’s just for 15 minutes.  Check in with yourself and see how you feel.  See what comes up emotionally and physically, and take time to acknowledge and honour that.  If you’re tired then REST.  Give yourself permission.  The world won’t implode if you stop for a while, and as they say ‘you cannot pour from an empty cup’.

 

• REST - Have an early night, and get extra rest, and DON’T feel guilty about it.  Your loved ones will thank you for it.

 

• HYDRATE - Drink plenty of water, it’s helps your body cope with the shifting Equinox energies.

 

• SELF CARE - Do something lovely for yourself.  Curl up with a good book, book a massage, or whatever it is you need, to give yourself a proper treat. 

 

• RITUAL - Try an Epsom or Himalyan salt bath, light some candles and make a little ritual of it.  Salt baths are fantastic for energetic cleansing apart from being blissfully relaxing.  My energy always feels amazing the next day !

 

• JOURNAL  -  Take some time to reflect on the last few months. Write down how you feel, and notice what what comes up for you. Even better see if you can take time out to meditate.  Even if it’s for 10 minutes.  It’s an important time for REFLECTION, and RELEASING all that doesn’t serve with love, to make way for the new.

 

• GRATITUDE – Take some time out to reflect on what you’re grateful for in life.  No matter how small it might be.  Gratitude TOTALLY shifts your energy away from negativity and gets you back into your heart space, and everything starts to feel better :)

 

• CRYSTALS – Take time out to connect with crystal energy if you can.  Crystals I love to work with at this time, are primarily anything GROUNDING, BALANCING, and ENERGISING, especially when I’m feeling tired. 

 
Grounding & Balancing crystals I love are: Black Tourmaline, Hematite,  Shungite,   Botswana Agate (or any agates), Picture Jasper, Smoky Quartz and Tiger Eye.
 
Energizing crystals – when I’m feeling shattered are Carnelian, Pyrite, Sunstone and ‘master healer’ Clear Quartz and fabulous Citrine, to help lift my spirits and energise me.  Perfect for when the days get colder and the evenings draw in, and there's no 'sunlight' to boost your energy levels.
 
On a personal level, I also particularly adore Garnet, which for me, brings a deeply comforting, nurturing, heart centred & grounded energy. 
 
Take note of what crystals YOU are drawn to in your own collection, or in my handmade 'Crystal Energy Jewellery' SHOP,  There’s ALWAYS a reason, and it’s always what you need, so trust your body’s wisdom.

I've pulled together an Autumnal energy & colour palette section on my website, with beautiful golds, browns, oranges and earthy tones on my website which you might like to take a peek at.
 
Take a few minutes to energetically connect, or tune in to your own crystals at home, (or notice what you're drawn to in my shop).  Hold your crystals, wear them, and have them close to you to help balance and align your energy, or pop them under your pillow at night.
 
Sending lots of love to you all.
