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,

FORCES OF NATURE: Rose Quartz www.tatianascavnicky.com

I am so in LOVE with this Rose Quartz Fountain in Byron Bay Australia! I keep this lovely stone by my bed. It's one of the very few you can keep at your bedside table. Why? Because the energetic power of the Earth is in them. We are deeply connected to this Force of Nature. 

Take a minute to think about how you feel sitting by the water's edge or in a quiet and lush forest. We feel so good in nature because we our harmonizing with it. Our energy, hormones and cells are doing a beautiful dance with it. Each crystal has it's own carried energetic blueprint and healing qualities of nature. 

Rose Quartz is" the supreme love stone". Use it to create self-love. This soft and nurturing beauty cultivates healing of the heart. Going through a break-up? In my intuitive coaching practice, I recommend getting a Rose Quartz heart shaped stone to help you through the process of leaving and letting go of a relationship. The crystal you are supposed to have will claim you and draw you to it. 

We spend lots of time taking care of others who need our attention. But there are some that take advantage of time generously given, creating even more of a challenge in the midst of family and work responsibilities. 

I love this stone for putting yourself first. Giving love and time generously to yourself makes you a better giver. Your eyes will sparkle and your skin will glow after an awesome yoga class. (if your doc says it's ok) 

Claiming time for regular meditation is game-changer. Read more about how this simple practice could shift your life. An old Zen proverb says if you don't have 15 minutes to meditate, then you should meditate for an hour.

In Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement that can enhance all areas of your life. Rose Quartz is placed in the love & relationship area at the southwest corner of your house to enhance love, connection and intimacy. 

It can go in the southwest corner of your bedroom too. Put a pair of hearts together with a picture of your beloved in this corner of an altar, or where you keep treasured photographs.

Use this "supreme love stone" when and where you need love!

Because I love you my free Kuan Yin Forgiveness & Releasing Meditation is streaming now on my site-wide player. Kuan Yin is the Goddess of love, mercy and compassion. She's deeply connected to Rose Quartz. Enjoy...

Things "Spiritual" People Say: What the Heck Does Being Grounded Mean? www.tatianascavnicky.com

via

I get flack at times for not explaining what things like keeping your vibration high, auras and being grounded are. I am sorry! I really want you to be in-the-know and benefit from all this woo-woo. I can't tell you how many times my computer puts the red squiggly line under "spiritual" words as I write, asking me to 'add to dictionary'. Let's focus on being grounded. Focus is the perfect way to start when talking about being grounded. I did a vlog you'll find very helpful on this subject. I shared it below. To talk about what it means to be grounded, we need to start with being ungrounded. Symptoms of "ungroundedness" are feeling scattered and all up in your head. It may feel like you are detached from your body too. 

We do want to leave our bodies sometimes. We don't want to feel physical or emotional pain, or we don't want to be somewhere so we check out. If you have to spend time with people you don't like or it's an uncomfortable environment, you might leave your body and eat too much, think too much and/or drink too much. Being grounded is being present and in the moment. It means being comfortable, or super aware you are not comfortable. 

It's easier to catch "ungroundedness" in others. It shows up in a co-worker or loved one who can't concentrate or stay on one subject during conversation. Or being a passenger in the car with someone and they are not paying attention at all to driving, or what you are saying. They are all over the place and soon you are.

As a society we are not grounded. In my travels to Spain and Italy especially, because I wasn't flying from city to city on tour, I got to really experience a culture that honors a daily grounded practice. They lunch, taking the afternoon to sit, chat, maybe even nap, enjoy a drink and an espresso before returning to the second half of their day at work. 

In Kona, Hawaii it's not like that either. I think it's easier to stay grounded when the mountains and ocean are in view. Regular nature trips to a park, a cider mill and river create groundedness. Reading a book, getting a massage and eating a good meal are simple grounding methods. Chilling and grilling, and enjoying the sunset are on the list too. The key here is to stop, slow down and be present. Add a little "woo-woo" to that with...come back to right now.

If you are really aware of everyone else around you, you may not be in your body. I call being grounded occupying your body. Sensitive people often are concerned with how others are doing and feeling. They have lots of compassion. I share my free Superpower Intuitive Development series a lot because it is so helpful to know what your intuitive method is...especially if you are super-sensitive or have super-sensitive loved ones. It's a huge challenge to focus on yourself and be grounded. It can feel like you are enmeshed with everyone around you and you don't know where you start and they begin. You might feel like you have to leave. I recommend checking out my series for help on what to do if you going through this. It can be terrifying and uncomfortable! I know...but you can protect yourself and feel better in groups and busy places. I know! I am super-sensitive and it's a great quality to have when I am giving intuitive readings and for song-writing, but it took me awhile to figure out why I was so ungrounded, shy and focused on others. I still avoid big grocery stores and you will never find me at the mall on the weekend. 

Trouble concentrating and feeling anxious and not knowing why other forms of being ungrounded. It can feel like you've eaten but you still have low-blood sugar. I find that angel-lovers and meditators can often like to be in this euphoric and light space. If you've ever done yoga, the last post is called corpse pose, or shavasana. It's done to bring you back home, into your body...grounded after all that exercise. It calls for one to feel themselves totally supported by the surface beneath. 

On a serious side note, you may have a super-sensitive child who needs guidance on being grounded. I personally feel like kids are doing too much, and being run from one place and activity to another. They then get labeled as ADHD or ADD because they can't sit still in class. They will be little spinning and churning examples of us. They need downtime and stability, balanced with activity...NOT medication. This is my personal opinion. I also think diet and what's happening in the home contribute too. Science shows there are legitimate chemical imbalances, and even physiological things that cause children and people for that matter, to need medication. I probably should have Valium on hand because of my astrological birthday profile giving me an intense "mental energy". I also wasn't raised with security and stability. I left my body often to deal with abuse as many kids have. If this is resonating with you, touching you deeply, it may be time to explore what it means to be grounded .

Being grounded is feeling calm and present. You are part of what is happening around you, but in touch with yourself and your feelings. For example a co-worker may go off on tangents (most likely ungrounded) and freak out about a project or task not coming to fruition. If you are grounded you can observe what is happening over there, and not lose your concentration and focus. If you are ungrounded you might become fearful and stressed too right away, instead of discovering what can be done or not done. 

In grounding meditations I take people to a forest or sandy beach to feel the ground beneath their feet. When you get into bed at night and have that "aahhh" this feels-so-good feeling, that's groundedness. Sitting with friends enjoying good conversation and eating a lovely meal together is another example of being grounded. 

Here is a great quick and easy way to get grounded. Find a comfortable spot to sit or lay down. Lay back into a chair or into the floor beneath you. Allow yourself to relax. Feel your legs and butt touching your supportive surface. Feel your back sinking. Take a bit to feel your legs, knees, hips, waist, stomach, chest, shoulders, neck, and head. Feel your body. You are now in touch with your body. Allow yourself to completely relax and let go into this feeling of comfort, security and calm but aware presence. If you wish, and you are sitting, see your feet connected to the Earth growing roots way down deep to it's very core. Beautiful...when you are ready, rub the tips of your fingers together and shift your body a bit coming back into now. Open your eyes before you move.
