On September 18, the Earth will come between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over a portion of the moon, creating a lunar eclipse. This cosmic event is believed to amplify the energy of the full moon, making it a powerful time for release, renew, and manifestation. It symbolizes a time of transformation and change, a period where old patterns and beliefs can be released, making way for new beginnings and growth. Embrace this energy to let go of what no longer serves you. In other words, where are you out of alignment with your authentic self? As you drop away patterns and beliefs that are no longer in right relationship with your true soul purpose, you will not only find more joy in your life but gain clarity on your spiritual path.
Harness this potent energy to connect with your intuition and Higher Self. This energy helps you tap into your subconscious mind. Trust your instincts! Use those intuitive hits to set intentions for the future. Take time to reflect on what you truly desire and write down your goals, dreams, and aspirations. The energy of the eclipse can amplify your intentions and help you manifest your dreams into reality. Building a crystal grid during the energy of the eclipse can heighten and amplify your intentions. Some of our favorite crystals to work with when manifesting are Ruby in Kyanite, Citrine, Smoky Quartz, Lemurian Quartz, and Flower Agate. Working with oracle or angel cards can also provide direction and guidance. Our favorites during eclipse and full moon energy are the Moonology™ series by Yasmin Boland.
Embrace this energy, trust in the process, and allow yourself to be guided by the wisdom of the cosmos. The Universe provides you with clarity, transformation, and abundance in all areas of your life!
Check out our Eclipse Manifestation Spray, thoughtfully blended with charged spring water, a Lemurian crystal, and essential oils that will bring peace and transformation into your spirit.
Orgone, also known as Orgonite, is a type of Universal Life Force, such as Chi, Prana, Ki, Mana, or Universal Energy. These are the basic building blocks of all organic and inorganic material on the planet and the Universal Energy that is present in all living things and in the atmosphere. When Orgone energy flows freely, it helps support physical and emotional well-being. When it is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to the imbalance of the chakras, our body's energy systems, and affect our body, mind, and spirit.
Orgone-generating devices, such as Orgone pyramids, wands, pendants, points, and pendulums can be used to enhance Universal energy and mitigate electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). EMF is a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices. We are increasingly saturated with EMF from electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, Wi-Fi routers, among many others. The Orgone devices are composed of a mix of copper metal shavings, gemstone chips, and epoxy resin. This results in a highly efficient energy transmutation tool. Negative energy is absorbed and transmuted into positive energy while emanating the energy of a set intention.
To counteract EMF, place Orgone devices near electronic devices in your home or work place. Wearing an Orgone pendant is said to provide a personal field of protection, helping to shield your energy field from EMF as you go about your day.
Orgone devices can also be used in a meditation practice to deepen your connection with Universal energy. Pyramids represent the union of the trinity and the four directions, creating a vortex of energy that can heal, purify, and magnify your intentions. Wands and points are perfect for sending and receiving energy. Holding a point or wand vertically while meditating, you create a high vibrational pillar of light that represents the connectivity between the earth and the sky. With regular practice, you may feel more energized, focused, and balanced.
By incorporating orgone devices into your daily life, you can create a more balanced and harmonious environment for yourself and your loved ones.
We are frequently asked, "What crystal can I use for protection?" Our favorite is Black Tourmaline and no crystal works harder for us. It's one of our favorites for protection and for absorbing low lying energies such as fear, sadness, anxiety and anger. We often recommend it to customers looking for needed relief in their work and living spaces. Use it in your vehicles, handbags, backpacks, luggage when traveling or anywhere you're in public spaces. You can place a piece in the four corners of your home or work space.
This crystal emits an incredibly grounding energy and creates a defensive energetic shield around your aura. Sometimes we unknowingly absorb dense or low lying energies from other people or spaces. This can lead us to feel unmotivated, lethargic, unhappy, or anxious. These emotions are not ours but we carry them in our auric fields as if they are. They take us out of alignment and cause difficulty sleeping, concentrating or relating to others. Using Tourmaline is one of the many tools that can help prevent you from picking up unwanted energies.
Keep your tourmaline regularly cleansed and charged. We recommend Selenite, smudging with herbs, or using sound vibrations to transmute low lying energies into a higher vibration. Infusing the Tourmaline with an intention such as, "Protect myself, loved ones, and my space from emotions, thoughts and energies that are not mine and not for my highest good. Send Love and Light back to those energies so that they are transmuted to a higher vibration. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Working with this bodyguard protection crystal will help keep you grounded and centered at home and on the go!

One of our favorite ways to manifest and utilize our crystals is with a crystal grid. A crystal grid is a geometric pattern of energetically aligned crystals charged by our intention for the purpose of manifestation. Your unique energetic vibration or blueprint is used to design a field of energy to support your intentions and create your realities at a more conscious level!
Crystal grids combine the energies and properties of specific crystals with the mechanics of other metaphysical systems. It is done with the intention of manifesting a desired result. Grids are geometric patterns (or sacred geometry) of energetically aligned stones or crystals. The grid incorporates the use of crystals and stones because each one of them carries a unique vibration or frequency. You can also add in elements of nature such as feathers, twigs, flowers, seashells, and leaves. The objects within a grid are used to assist with manifesting our intentions. It is like giving our intention a boost of sorts. We activate grids with our intention and can use the grid for any intention we desire! Abundance, protection, connection to angels or guides, healing, love, joy, happiness, new career - the possibilities are endless! We can also use these grids to hold space or help others by offering assistance and asking permission from their Higher Self.
Select the Base of Your Grid
You will something to build your crystal grid on. You can use a template of sacred geometry in the form of a Selenite charging plate or a wood grid. Or dedicate an undisturbed space in your home. It can be on a shelf, table, dresser, or even outside. Some of our favorite sacred geometry templates are the Flower of Life and Metatron.
Select Your Crystals or Elements
Choose crystals or elements that make sense for the intention you are trying to achieve. For instance, if you are hoping to bring in abundance, choose crystals such as Aventurine, Jade, or Pyrite. You can find other natural elements by going for a walk. State your intention and be aware of what comes across your path! You will need a center stone to ground your grid. Ideally, this would be a point or tower of high vibration such as Clear Quartz. But you could opt for a crystal sphere, raw cluster, or other elements you find powerful. You will also need a wand to activate the grid. There are many types of wands that can be used but a crystal wand is the best.
Set Your Intention
It's helpful to write out your intention. This can be placed under the grid. If you are making a grid for someone else, it is important to add "if this is for the highest good of all involved."
Intention setting is the process of creating a clear and focused mental or emotional intention for a specific goal or outcome. When manifesting one of the most important elements is to focus on the feeling and sensation that you want to experience once this intention comes into your life. The key to manifesting is letting go of the outcome. We can’t manifest if we are holding too tightly to the who, what, when, where, how and if it will unfold.
By holding onto the outcome too tightly we prevent the universe from being part of the co-creation process. The best way to get out of your own way is to let go of the outcome. Surrender to it and then surrender some more. Focus on the feelings and sensations as if it’s already happened - how do you want to feel in your life!
Cleanse Your Space
Use sage, palo santo, or your favorite way to energetically cleanse your space. Be sure to also smudge around your own energetic field.
Set Your Grid
You can use a sacred geometry pattern to lay out your crystals or intuitively place your elements in a balanced manner with the piece you chose for the center stone in the middle. Don't forget to place your written intention under your grid!
Activate Your Grid
Caring for Your Grid
There is no set length of time to keep your grid but it should be refreshed on occasion or deactivated when your intention has manifested. You will need to reactivate the grid if it's disturbed. Just follow the above directions to reactivate. Tune into your intuition to see what your grid or intention is calling for and follow the signs and opportunities the Universe sends your way!

Archangel Uriel is associated with the Earth element, the color red, the number 122, and the "north".

And so it is!"

It's also one of the most requested crystals in our shop! Each piece is absolutely beautiful and unique, featuring a stunning array of colors and vibrant chatoyancy!
According to Inuit legend, an Inuit warrior discovered a cave filled with Labradorite, along the coast of Labrador, Canada. He believed the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights to be trapped in the rocks and freed some of the light by striking the stones with his spear. The remaining light in the stones give us the brilliance and iridescent flash we now know as Labradorite. Radiating hues of blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple the crystal is reminiscent of the beauty and wonder of the Northern Lights.

The cosmic alignment of Earth, Sirius, and the Orion constellations opens a spiritual gateway and opportunity for further ascension and potent manifestation. The portal may be open for several days but it's at its peak on August 8th (8/8). The number 8 represents infinity and the endless possibilities for abundance the Universe can offer. Angel Numbers (repetitive numbers that vibrate in the form of messages from the Angelic Realm) 8 and 88 signify a spiritual journey or lesson that you're ready to receive and a portal opening for an opportunity for a deeper spiritual practice. 2024 is also the year 8 in numerology making this particular Lion's Gate portal even more potent!
Working with crystals during a heightened state of cosmic energy can amplify your state of consciousness. Crystals you can work with in meditation and use in setting intentions for the portal are Lemurian, Golden Healer, Labradorite, Amethyst, Terahertz, and Gold Sheen Obsidian. Building and activating a crystal grid on this date is a powerful way to manifest and utilize the cosmic energy. Clear your mind so your intentions are pure and concise. Set intentions for healing, increasing your intuition, releasing karmic debt and the potential for connecting with higher dimensional beings.
This is also an important time for healing. You need to make space for hope, positivity and Love to enter by removing low lying energies such as fear and doubt. Releasing trauma, including ancestral, is a process that cannot be bypassed in order to move forward on your spiritual journey. As humans we tend to bury those emotions and sometimes the suppression becomes an instinctual survival mechanism instead of processing the emotions through honing a set of health coping skills. Everyone is different and so what may work for one person might not work for another. Lean into the shift and discover your true potential!
Garden Quartz, also known as Lodolite or Scenic Quartz, contains inclusions of other minerals, which in turn creates beautiful landscapes within the stone! These inclusions can resemble gardens, landscapes, or underwater scenes, hence the name Garden Quartz.

Do you have a Leo in your life? Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, falls between July 23 and August 22. It is represented by a lion and ruled by the Sun. Known for their bold and fiery personalities, Leos are natural leaders who exude confidence and charisma. They are also known for their strong sense of self-expression and creativity. They are passionate, love to be in the spotlight, and are risk-takers. Leos are also fiercely loyal and protective of their loved ones. Their natural ability to thrive in social settings make them the life of the party. They tend to be extroverts and sometimes that comes across as self-centered or attention seeking but they are generous (sometimes to a fault!), warm-hearted, and always lending a hand to those in need.
Sometimes Leos can be stubborn and inflexible, unwilling to see things from another perspective. Their fiery temper can flare up quickly, leading to conflicts with others. It's important for Leos to work on their communication skills and learn to be more open-minded.
Crystals that resonate with Leo's energy are Peridot, Rose Quartz, Citrine, and Diamond Quartz. Leos can work with the vibration of these crystals to enhance positivity and encourage the softening and opening of their Heart Chakra.
Leos can harness their strengths by embracing their creativity and passion. It is important for Leos to remember to balance their need for attention with humility and empathy towards others. They are dynamic and charismatic individuals who bring warmth and energy wherever they go!
If you're experiencing feelings of hopelessness, nervousness, fear, anger, or insecurity, grounding or earthing may help balance and center your emotions. Intentionally moving your energetic field into a state of stability and strength can improve sleep quality, increase feelings of happiness, contentment, and optimism, and reduce stress. Grounding can also decrease cortisol levels which can positively affect your overall physical and emotional health. Here are some of our favorite ways to ground and center.
Meditation and Breathwork
Meditating even a short time each day (15 minutes or less) can cultivate an inner peace and a sense of awareness. Our favorite tool for guided meditations is the Insight Timer app. It's free, easy to use, and has a diverse variety of options. Breathwork is consciously altering your breathing pattern in a state of meditation to produce a positive physical, emotional, and energetic state.
Spending Time in Nature
The closest way to commune with Mother Earth and her natural rhythms is to spend time outside immersed in forests, trees, parks, or prairies. Activities such as hiking, swimming, gardening, and connecting to the ground in bare feet, can help you sync up with the Earth's heartbeat. Perform these activities with intentions for grounding and releasing of unwanted energy and give gratitude to Mother Earth for her unwavering support!
Essential Oils
We love to incorporate essential oils into our daily lives for grounding and centering. You can diffuse them in your space or apply them to pulse points or to the bottom of your feet. The most effective grounding oils are those derived from roots, rhizome or trees. For example Vetiver, Spikenard, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and our own blend, Rooted.
Work with Crystals
Crystals can support and align you through the day. Our favorite grounding crystals are Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Tiger Eye, Smoky Quartz, and Jasper. They will help to keep you protected and secure. Carry them in your pockets, wear as jewelry, or place in strategic spots in your space to balance and center their energy. Because of their protective nature, they will need to be cleansed often by smudging, Selenite, or sound vibrational instruments.
Root Chakra
Sometimes we're not grounded because our Root Chakra is out of balance. When it is out of alignment, too open or blocked, you may feel unmotivated, anxious, fearful, angry, insecure, stuck, or exhausted. When the energy isn't flowing properly, you'll likely feel disconnected from the earth or emotions of stubbornness and greed may creep in. Feelings of insecurity and shame often stem from childhood or ancestral trauma and these manifest in blockages at the Root Chakra. There are tools to remove these blockages. See our blog post on the Root Chakra for more information.
Sound Healing
Sound vibrational instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls and drums can help move blockages and unwanted energy. To amplify the experience, try placing your feet in a large singing bowl while it's being played. You can also use these instruments in your daily meditation practice.
Reiki and Biomat
Reiki energy healing sessions improve the flow of energy through our chakras and can improve our over health. As stagnant energy is released and a health flow of energy returns to your body, you become grounded and centered. The biomat uses a combination of infra-red rays and Amethyst to soothe all body systems and leave you feeling refreshed and at peace.
Learning how to ground can be the key to finding balance and peace in your life. It can restore your energy levels, improve your focus and clarity of thought, and reduce inflammation. You may find yourself feeling more connected to the world around you, more in tune with your body's natural rhythms, and more at peace with the challenges life may bring!
