Your Weekly Mantra ~ Mother Nature Always Heals Me www.tatianascavnicky.com

“Perhaps being amidst the undesecrated beauty of the wilderness meant that I too could be undesecrated, regardless of what I'd lost or what had been taken from me, regardless of the regrettable things I'd done to others or myself or the regrettable things that had been done to me. Of all the things I'd been skeptical about, I didn't feel skeptical about this: the wilderness had a clarity that included me.” ― Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

At levels we are not aware of Nature...Mother Nature has her way with us. At her oceans, rivers streams and lakes we are affected. We are after all 70% water. We literally melt and merge. She touches our Soul. 

Eco-therapy as it's now called has been known to help alleviate depression in tandem with other methods of traditional treatment. And it can boost energy levels up 20%. 

It makes me so happy to see picnic tables outside of corporate buildings for people to sit. I am lucky to live right on a park and on my walks I always see people eating lunch in their cars or at one of the tables. I can't tell you the joy I feel sitting underneath the huge and beautiful trees that have protected me and my house all these years. 

Recently I had to have a tree cut down in my yard. I was devastated at the thought of doing away with my friend and confidante. I put it off for two years. Turns out it wasn't an ash tree but a boxed elder whose roots had torn up cement, making their way towards the foundation of my house. It would continue to grow taller, wider and rounder. 

During my recent trip to Kona I made arrangements to have it cut down. I just couldn't be there. Thank God I still have the four amazing oaks so close, that still shade and protect my property. 

The picture above was taken at Honaunau on the Big Island of Hawaii. I was on a mission to get back there. I needed to be there at the water's edge to make sense of things not at an intellectual level, but at a spiritual level. 

This week take time to be outside every day if you can even for a few minutes. If you need guidance on something set that intention. Say a prayer or sit in the shade of a tree or by a lake and do nothing. Let Mother Nature do her thing. She loves you.

Crystal Alchemy ~ Smoky Quartz: How To Clear Negative Energy

This beauty just happens to be mine. I've been on the hunt for a crystal to clean and clear my energy, and the vibe in my home. March 20th's Solar Eclipse-New Moon-Super Moon and Spring Equinox opened a doorway to super-consciousness and transformation. I want my home to feel good to me. I need that support in my environment. I am riding the new wave along with you. 

If you feel that things have been harder for you since March 20th, I recommend doing a ceremony on the next full or new moon phase. It's also time to do an energetic cleansing of your thoughts and beliefs. It's time to give it up and open your heart to the new. More on this in my next moon phase oracle card reading. You do not have to tough it out! Talk to me about getting a reading if you are in a rough patch and need answers, or if you are rockin it and want to know what to do next! For now let's focus on our alchemical star, Smoky Quartz the ultimate cleanser of all-things energetic.

Smoky Quartz is a form of quartz. It's usually clear with darker, smokier hues of brown in it. It can also be mostly brown, ranging to almost chocolate colored. Scotland claimed it as there national gem, calling it Cairngorn, from the Cairngorn mountains. They consider it sacred, it's history dating back to the time of Druids, an intellectual class of theologians, astrologers, diviners, scientists, philosophers and astronomers. This baby is from my favorite crystal shop on the Big Island.

In Feng Shui smoky quartz is put at the front door to keep bad energy out. It is a super-protective stone for any area of the house where you feel you need it. It increases your intuition because it helps to clear accumulations of energy in your aura, your energetic body and your thoughts. 

Crystals can be programmed with an intention. This gem is awesome for lightening your thoughts and bringing you back into your body. It's a great healer for worry and transient feelings of depression. Not the kind you see a medical professional for, but you can use it along with traditional therapy. 

Smoky Quartz is awesome to keep by your cell phone or computer. Many healers use it to help diffuse and clear the effects of chemo and radiation. Smoky is strong, but I find it's one you may be able to keep by your bedside. You can ask for your new best friend from the elemental kingdom to do it's work, but be soft and supportive enough to be with you while you sleep peacefully.

It's a grounding stone. What does that mean? Smoky Quartz brings focus. If you are all up in your head and stressed out, it's a good earthly elixir for a worried mind and for calming down. It brings you back down to Earth. Remember worry is reversed prayer.



How to Use Smoky Quartz to Ground & Clear Your Energy 
To ground and clear your energy, hold a smoky quartz in your hands while standing. Try to be barefoot. Or sit in chair or on the floor, and hold it. You can close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Say a prayer to God, your angels and your spiritual team to help you clear and release any negative energy. Relax. Let go of any concerns, worries or cares.


With each deep breath, use the exhale to push it out, the inhale to receive good energy. Good energy = love, trust, happiness, prosperity, health...the good stuff. Don't fret over what the energy part means. 

Touch your chest and your legs with your hands. Feel totally supported by the surface beneath you. Sink into your chair or the floor if you are laying down. Feel your feet and your body connected to the Earth...straight down to the it's core. Let gravity pull you. 

You might like to picture and feel yourself laying on the beach, feeling the warm sand underneath you, or the ground of a beautiful, lush forest.


This can be a short meditation or longer. It's up to you. I have many meditations to chose from for whatever you need here including my brand new Lakshmi Bountiful Blessings Prosperity Meditation which we loved creating for you.

With Love & Magic Blessings,
XoTatiana
