It's so easy to let our minds mill over things that aren't so good for us, causing stress, or worry. Our minds are always thinking. That's what they do. It's easy to let them just go off and wreak havoc if we let them. Anne Lamott said it so well! "My Mind is a neighborhood I try not to go into alone."
Rumination is thinking about something over and over, that is upsetting and not positive. Rumination refers to the tendency to repetitively think about the causes, situational factors, and consequences of one's negative emotional experience. ~ Nolen Hoeksema
If you tend to be a worrier or not, focusing on what you want keeps your mind thinking about exactly that, and not what don't want. The morning is a good time to think about how you want to feel, and what you are up to in life. Our deeply creative subconscious mind is super receptive in between sleeping, and being fully awake. Before bed is too. Keep your most important goals with you, maybe in a pretty book, written on a card, or on your tablet or phone.
We have all had those days where we wake up tired, and we are not feeling it. First thing when you wake up is the best time to say, "I bless my future because I can." Add I feel good, or I am confident and I easily get things done today. Everyone I meet is cheery. There are lots of things to be grateful for today.
I was inspired by Super Soul Sunday for this week's mantra. Joel Olsteen talked about the power of I AM. This is an ancient practice and I am thrilled he is preaching about it. It will take you far. Thinking good and affirming thoughts blesses us, and our future. We have the power! Try it this week and let me know how you do.
Hope you have a beautiful week.

I don't know about you but I've been feeling so sensitive! The energy has been heavy. If you are extremely clairsentient which means "clear-feeling" you may have felt an extra blast of intensity. Check out my free "Ignite Your Intuition~ Superpower Series" to see if you are clairsentient and for more tips on managing being empathic.
It's time to shield and clear your energy. The violet flame is a universal purifying technique used for exactly this kind of cosmic-energy fog.
I've chosen an image with red and orange in it for additional grounding. The amethyst crystals pictured here are part of Kona Rock & Mineral's new "Beautiful Spirit Collection" from Brazil. I used to do readings at this shop when I lived in Kona. There stuff is hand-picked and curated from around the world.
Here's what to do:
Center yourself. Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes. After a few deep cleansing breaths open your eyes and step into the violet flame image pictured.
Let yourself be surrounded in the color. Feel it saturate you down to the marrow of your bones. Be here as long as you need. You may want to close your eyes. If you are very visual or clairvoyant, you may want to keep your eyes open visualizing this image as you clear and cleanse your energy.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and feel the surface beneath you. Feel your feet on the ground. Ask your angels, especially Archangel Michael for protection and shielding.
Be sure to watch the Ignite Your Intuition~Superpower Series to see what your intuition style is. It's so exciting to see how you get your intuition whether through deep emotional sensitivity, being visual or through profound deep-thinking. It helps you make better decisions!
Feel better!
Divinely Yours,

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.
*It's a Scorpio birthstone, and good for Capricorn & Sagittarius
*It vibrates to the numbers 2 & 8
*Chakra: root
*Element : Earth
*Planet: Saturn
*Goddess: Hecate: magic, the night & the moon.
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

This week I invite you to connect to the radiant spirit inside you. "I Am" is the ultimate statement of declaration. Repeating a mantra over and over calls forth what we declare and influences our mental programming. Chanting your mantra is yet another great way to call forth your state of being.
If you like this weeks mantra, make it your very own personal mantra or create your own. Close your eyes for a moment and think about what you want to change in your life. If you have been a bit down, this weeks mantra would be perfect. I don't want to worry becomes, "All is well." I don't have enough time becomes "I have time for what is truly important."
Happy Creating!
Mantra Love,
Tatiana
