Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun, governs time, discipline, and structure. Known as "Lord of Karma", it is often associated with challenges and restrictions but it is ultimately a benevolent force-one that shapes us through perseverance and maturity. Saturn is named for the Roman god Saturn and is associated with the Greek god Cronus, the Hindu god Shani, and the Norse god Njörður. These gods embody the dual essence of Saturn: creation through limitation and freedom through discipline. Saturn governs the signs Capricorn and Aquarius, ruling over ambition and independence.
Saturn's symbol is a stylized representation of the scythe and symbolizes the cyclical nature of time and the openness of Spirit. Saturn resonates with the colors dark blue and black and the elements of Air and Earth.

Our favorite crystals to work with Saturn's energy are Moldavite, Smoky Quartz, Obsidian, Hematite, and Tanzanite. Their energy helps us to ground and protect, expands our awareness, and brings forth powerful transformation.
Saturn calls upon us to live our lives with integrity and responsibility. It helps us to transform into the best version of ourselves through life lessons and self-discipline. By understanding its energy, we honor our past, present, and future!
Summer Solstice-the longest daylight of the year-marks a powerful turning point in the natural rhythms of the Earth and in our own spiritual journey. During this sacred time, we are invited to pause, reflect, and align with the transformative energy of the Sun. This celebration of illumination and growth, invites you to embrace and honor your growth and abundance.
One way to have a deeper connection to this energy is through reflection. Reflection is a sacred pause-an opportunity to turn inward, listen deeply to ourselves, and witness our thoughts. It invites us to slow down and honor where we've been and where we are going without judgment. Reflection allows us to realign with purpose and choose our next steps with intention. Here are some powerful reflection questions to consider for the Summer Solstice.
Self-Awareness & Growth
Purpose & Passion
Releasing & Realigning
Celebration & Gratitude

Sunstone is more than just a beautiful crystal-its vibrant, joyful energy infuses us with optimism and warmth! It embodies the spirit of the Sun, beaming with guidance, growth, and light. Like sunlight filtering through the clouds, it can lift heavy emotional states and help to connect you with positivity. Its natural ability to transmute negative energy can help you feel spiritually and emotionally lighter and more aligned. Sunstone offers relief during seasonal cloudy and winter days when we lack sunlight.
Sunstone can help clear and align both the Sacral Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakras. It reminds us that we are the source of our own Light and strength and helps increase our willpower and confidence. Sunstone can used when working toward challenging goals or during personal transformation. Its gentle energy ignites the fire within us by promoting self-empowerment and motivation.
Sunstone naturally protects us from excessive worry and negative thoughts. It can also cleanse our aura, especially when we've encountered negative or toxic situations. Wearing Sunstone jewelry or carrying a worry stone in your pocket helps to keep your emotional state centered and offers stability.
Sunstone is a spiritual ally for those stepping into a new chapter, reclaiming joy and playfulness, and or simply seeking more Light into your life. It serves as a reminder that the Sun always rises!
The Sun has been revered across cultures and spiritual traditions as a powerful symbol of life, divine wisdom, and cosmic order. It represents illumination, vitality, and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. As the center of our solar system, the Sun is often associated with divine consciousness, personal power, and the radiant energy that fuels all existence.
In many traditions the Sun is seen as masculine (corresponding with the Moon as female). Gods associated with the sun include the Egyptian god Ra-creator the Universe and ruler of the sky, the Greek/Roman god Apollo-bringer of truth and enlightenment, the Hindu god Surya-life-giver, and the Incan god Inti-the giver of warmth, light, and prosperity. In some traditions the Sun is represented by a goddess such as Söl in Norse mythology.
The Sun is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which governs our confidence and willpower. It pulses with divine energy that fuels life itself, representing personal power, courage, and self-realization. The Sun governs the zodiac sign Leo, said to give those born under its influence qualities such as courage and leadership skills.
The Sun is the cosmic heart of our universe and there are many ways to connect to its energy for deeper connections to its higher consciousness. These are some ways to honor and reflect with its divine energy.
Crystals that resonate with the energy of the Sun are Citrine, Amber, Sunstone, and Tiger Eye. You can work with these crystals to bring in optimism and activate energy pathways to promote mental clarity and self-confidence.
The Sun is a symbol of divine power, illumination, and the eternal cycle of life. By honoring its energy, we align with our highest self, embrace clarity and wisdom, and walk the path of spiritual awakening!
Fire, one of the four classical elements of nature, is a symbol of willpower, creativity, and purification. It is both destroyer and creator, representing the sacred flame within us that drives us to awaken and evolve. When we are in rhythm with its energy, we can alchemize personal transformation, enhance our passions, and reaffirm our vitality. It represents our divine spark that fuels creation and ambition and gives birth to desire and courage. Fire has been used for centuries in releasing and spiritual ceremonies for purification, to honor the Sun, and to ward off darkness.
In astrology, the Fire element rules the signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. People born under these signs are believed to embody traits of confidence, passion, and leadership qualities.
Our Solar Plexus Chakra is connected with the Fire element. It governs our willpower, confidence, and motivation. When it is aligned we cultivate an authentic life and are in control of our choices.
Archangels Michael and Uriel are closely associated with the Fire element. Archangel Michael is often depicted with a flaming sword representing purification and protection from low lying energies. Call upon them when in need of motivation, courage, and to illuminate our inner divine spark.
Our favorite crystals to work with the Fire element are Carnelian, Sunstone, Garnet, Citrine, and Hematoid Fire Quartz. They remind us that we are in control of our emotions and willpower, help to align our Solar Plexus Chakra, and ignite our passions.
To tap into the energy of Fire, you can engage in activities to promote clarity and self-confidence such as Yoga poses (Boat and Chair pose), a fire ceremony or light candles for releasing, practice Breath of Fire Breathwork, or a walking Meditation.
Fire is the element of transmutation. It reminds us of the divine spark within us all and empowers us along our spiritual journey!
Neptune, the eighth planet away from the Sun, is the planet of dreams, illusions, and divine connection. It governs our imagination, intuition, and spiritual desires by dissolving boundaries and opening gateways to a higher consciousness and ultimately, unconditional love. Neptune is named after the Roman god of the sea and associated with the Roman goddess, Salacia. The Greek god Poseidon and goddess Aphrodite are also connected to Neptune and its mystical and emotional realms.
Neptune rules over Pisces, a sign known for its sensitivity, spirituality, and compassion. It is associated with the water element-our emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. Neptune resonates with the colors sea green and turquoise blue. Wearing these colors can activate your intuition and enhance your soul memory.
Neptune's symbol is the trident-a three pronged spear that reflects spiritual mastery over the mind, body, and spirit. It also represents piercing the veil between dimensions, accessing the Divine, the subconscious, and all other realms. It is a tool of both creation and destruction.
Imagination and Creativity
Neptune dissolves the boundaries of reality allowing our vision and imagination to flourish. It inspires creations from beyond intellect by drawing from a higher consciousness and the spiritual realms.
Spiritual Connection
Neptune connects us to our soul's longing to return to Source. When we transcend our ego state, we connect to something greater than ourselves.

Our favorite crystals to work with Neptune's energy are Aquamarine, Amethyst, Labradorite, Turquoise, and Chrysoprase. They assist with activating our intuition, dream recall, emotional healing, and self-love.
Neptune guides us spiritually with its ability to connect us to realms beyond our physical world. By embracing its energy, we open ourselves to infinite inspiration, compassion for all, and a connection to Source.
Our words shape the way we think, influence how we (and others) feel, and guide how we show up in the world. Affirmations—positive, intentional statements spoken aloud or repeated silently—can be powerful tools for transforming our mindset, overcoming emotional challenges, and aligning with the life we desire.
They help shift our focus from fear to hope, from doubt to empowerment, and from anger to love. When practiced consistently, affirmations can build self-confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and motivation, shift limiting beliefs, and enhance our spiritual alignment.
Neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt in response to our environment—means we can literally reprogram our mindset through repetition and intention. By consistently focusing on mindful, positive affirmations, we have the power to gradually shift the brain’s default patterns from negative to positive, positively impacting our entire well-being.
Keep Them in the Present Tense
Use phrases like “I am” instead of “I will be.” Speak your affirmation as if it’s already your reality—this helps the mind and body align with the desired state.
Be Specific and Authentic
Choose words that truly resonate with your personal truth. The more aligned the affirmation is with your heart, the more powerful and believable it becomes.
Repeat Them Daily
Consistency is key. Repeating your affirmations every day builds belief, momentum, and lasting energetic shifts.
Feel Into the Words
Don’t just say them—feel them. Emotions amplify energy. Let your words carry the vibration of love, hope, and intention.
Use Them in Meditation
Turn your affirmation into a mantra during meditation. Repeating it silently or aloud while breathing deeply helps anchor the energy in your body and subconscious mind.
Write Them Down
Journaling your affirmations or placing them where you’ll see them often can reinforce your mindset. Try:

Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement that aligns your environment with the natural flow of energy—known as chi—to promote health, prosperity, and harmony. When combined with crystals, which hold and emit their own energetic frequencies, Feng Shui becomes an even more powerful tool for transforming your space.
Pairing crystal energy with Feng Shui principles enhances balance, protection, and abundance while deepening the intention behind the energy you invite into your home. Whether you're creating a peaceful sanctuary, a space for healing, or a spiritually aligned environment, intentional crystal placement allows you to manifest and support the energy you wish to create.
This guide explores both traditional Feng Shui crystal placement and Bagua Map-based positioning to help you align your home with the energy you desire.
These placements are based on classical Feng Shui, focusing on how to direct, protect, and activate energy in specific zones of your home.
Black Tourmaline – Protection & Boundary Setting
Where to place: Entryways, door thresholds, windows, or the four corners of your home
Why it works: Black Tourmaline is a powerful protector. In traditional Feng Shui, energy enters and exits through doorways and windows. Placing Black Tourmaline at those key points helps absorb and neutralize negative energy, creating a strong shield of energetic defense. It's also effective in the corners of your home to ground and protect your space.
Jade – Wealth & Prosperity
Where to place: Wealth corner of the home (back left) or near the main entrance
Why it works: Jade is a classic Feng Shui stone for abundance, success, and harmony. Positioning Jade, Foo Dogs, or Jade Kylins near your front door not only attracts prosperity but also serves as a powerful energetic guardian, protecting the flow of wealth into your space.
Howlite – Harmony & Emotional Balance
Where to place: Bedrooms, living areas, or meditation spaces
Why it works: Howlite offers soothing, calming energy, making it perfect for spaces where emotional peace is needed. Place it on a nightstand or under your pillow to help reduce anxiety and promote restful sleep. It’s especially helpful in shared spaces where emotional harmony is key.
Clear Quartz – Energy Activation & Flow
Where to place: In low-energy areas or the center of your home
Why it works: Clear Quartz acts as a universal amplifier, increasing the energy of whatever it surrounds. Use it to revitalize stagnant areas, spark inspiration, or bring fresh energy into dull spaces. At the heart of your home, it encourages harmonious chi flow throughout your environment.
Selenite – Purification & Light
Where to place: Windowsills or entryways
Why it works: Selenite radiates a pure, high-vibrational frequency. When placed in windows, it filters in cleansing light energy, and it's also ideal for spaces needing energetic clarity and regular clearing.
The Bagua Map is a foundational tool in Feng Shui that divides your space into nine life areas. Each area corresponds to a specific aspect of your life, and placing crystals according to this layout allows you to target energy flow with intention.
Here’s how to use crystals in each area:
Career & Life Path (Front Center / Entrance)
Placement Tip: Near the front door or on your desk
Love & Relationships (Back Right Corner)
Placement Tip: In the bedroom or relationship area
Wealth & Prosperity (Back Left Corner)
Placement Tip: On a shelf, plant stand, or altar in the wealth zone
Family & Health (Left Center)
Placement Tip: In communal or family gathering spaces
Fame & Reputation (Back Center)
Placement Tip: In well-lit spaces or near art/decor
Children & Creativity (Right Center)
Placement Tip: In art rooms, playrooms, or creative workspaces
Knowledge & Wisdom (Front Left)
Placement Tip: In study areas, near books, or on personal altars
Center (Overall Harmony)
Placement Tip: In the center of your home, main room, or gathering area
Helpful People & Travel (Front Right)
Placement Tip: Near doorways, calendars, or travel accessories
Whether you follow traditional Feng Shui principles or use the Bagua Map, placing crystals with intention allows your home to support your goals, relationships, and well-being. Feng Shui is flexible and intuitive, and there are ways to work with the energy of your unique space—it isn’t about perfection—it’s about flow, balance, and supporting your life energetically. Let your space be a reflection of your energy—and a catalyst for your growth!
The pyramid has stood as a symbol of mystery, power, and the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. Sacred pyramids sites across the world, such as Egypt and Mesoamerica, suggest humanity has always held a reverence and curiosity for this powerful shape. Its energy is thought to represent balance, transformation, and focused intention.
The pyramid is a three dimensional triangle, with a square base (symbolizing grounding, stability, and Mother Earth) and four triangular sides that rise and converge at a single apex (symbolizing ascension, unity, and connection to The Universe). The base of the pyramid anchors our energy into the Earth, while the peak channels energy upward to higher consciousness or divine wisdom. Pyramids represent the union of the trinity and the four directions, creating a vortex of energy that can heal, purify, and magnify your intentions.
Energy Amplification Pyramids are believed to act as energy generators. Its shape naturally channels and concentrates energy from Mother Earth and the Universe. Placing objects or intentions within a pyramid can amplify the energy and assist with manifestation. Energy healers or Reiki practitioners can incorporate pyramids into their sessions to direct energy to specific chakras and for balance. A crystal pyramid can be placed in the center of a crystal grid to direct and amplify your intentions.
Spiritual Alignment The pyramid shape can be seen symbolically as a stairway to Divine Consciousness. It can be viewed as a journey of personal evolution from the base of the pyramid to the peak. Use crystal pyramids during meditation practice for focused energy and to enhance your spiritual connections.
Protection & Stability Their energy offers protection by shielding against low lying or chaotic energies. Place crystal pyramids in the four corners of your house or on your altar to ground and shield your surroundings. Wearing pyramid shaped jewelry can also keep you grounded and pull your energetic field back into alignment.
The pyramid is a symbol of energy, evolution, and inner power. It reminds us that when we are grounded in the present moment and open to the Universe, we become powerful conduits for transformation!

When we think of meditation, we often picture a quiet room, closed eyes, stillness, and chanting. But what if meditation is more expansive than that? What if you're already meditating? The goal of meditation is to cultivate awareness, inner peace, and a sense of presence in the present moment. Regular meditation practice has been shown to reduce stress, calm the mind, improve sleep and concentration, promote emotional well-being, and enhance overall mental and physical health. On World Meditation Day, May 21, let's explore how ordinary moments can become powerful acts of presence.
Meditation Doesn't Need to Look Like Meditation
Some of the most powerful moments of presence do not need to happen while sitting sit in silence. They can occur while walking your dog, taking a shower, or cleaning your house. At its core, meditation is about paying conscious attention (without judgment) instead of running on autopilot. The following are examples of everyday moments that can be turned into mindful moments.
Your life is already full of opportunities to be present. The practice is simply remembering to notice them!
