The month of October arrives with an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with our inner world. As we move deeper into autumn and carry the reflective energy of the Autumn Equinox with us, we are reminded to move with the natural flow of life rather than forcing what is not yet ready to unfold, trusting that each season brings its own timing, wisdom, and purpose. The end of October is a window where the veil between the physical world and the unseen realms is at its thinnest, creating a sacred time for connection with the spirit world and our ancestors. It is a time to slow down, listen more deeply, and remain open to messages, dreams, and synchronicities that may find their way to us. We pulled a card from Yasmin Boland's Moonology™ Manifestation Oracle card deck for inspiration and clarification on what lies ahead this month.
New Moon in Pisces
Attune to the Divine
You have the opportunity to slip into the flow of life now. When that happens, you want what is happening and what is happening is what you want. Your manifesting is working perfectly. Just make sure that you stay attuned to your Higher Self and you'll be well on your way to feeling blissfully happy and in tune with your dreams....This card is an especially good sign for matters related to spirituality, contacting other realms, taking some time out or dealing with a fear.
Manifesting tips for creating flow
Call in Archangel Sandalphon, who slips between this world and the next.
Call in the energy of the planet Neptune, which guides Pisces.
....Ask Sandalphon to guide you towards Neptunian energy in your dreams so that you can connect with the numinous.
When we've been taught or programmed to have a plan and expect a certain outcome, it can be difficult to surrender into the unknown and trust that what is meant for us will unfold in its own time and in its own way. Surrendering isn't giving up but rather it is releasing our attachment to how we think something must unfold and creating space for a greater wisdom to guide us. This is where trust becomes part of the manifestation process. We set our intentions, listen to our inner voice, take inspired action, and then allow our path to unfold in ways we may not have anticipated. October invites us to practice this type of trust, to listen deeply, and make room for the unknown.
As you ponder this card, reflect on the following questions:
What am I currently trying to manifest, and am I leaving enough space for Source to show me a path I may not have considered?
What does "going with the flow" look like in my life without becoming passive or disconnected from my intentions?
What ancestral wisdom, strength, or gifts do I feel connected to, and how can I consciously carry them forward?
If my Higher Self could speak to me clearly right now, what would it want me to know?
Working with energetically aligned crystals and tools can be a source of support as you navigate throughout the month.
Crystals such as Himalayan Pink Samandi Quartz, Ruby in Kyanite, Epidote, Clear Quartz, and Trolleite connect you with your soul's purpose, opening pathways to new opportunities, positive energy, and confidence.
Working with Archangel Sandalphon connects us to the heartbeat of Mother Earth and is a bridge between the cosmos and this planet. His energy weaves a divine tapestry of spiritual guidance and a continuous flow of divine grace. Behind the scenes, he is spiritually protective, helps us manifest for our greatest good, and can preside over sacred ceremonies such as land offerings and crystal grids. Call in his energy during meditation, dreamtime, sacred ceremonies, or when in need of clarity and grounding.
Dreamtime can be a potent opportunity to work with the energy of planet Neptune. 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. Call on Neptune's energy during dreamtime for messages from the spiritual realm and a higher consciousness. Keep a dream journal to record your dreams, symbols, and messages. They may not always make sense in the moment, but looking back later can reveal patterns, meaning, or guidance you may have missed at the time.
The energy of the new moon offers an intentional space to pause, turn inward, and set your intentions for what you wish to create and welcome in your life. For a simple new moon ceremony, find a quiet, peaceful space and light a candle. Visualize gently letting go of control while remaining open to Divine guidance, trusting that what is meant to unfold will reveal itself in the right time and in ways you may not yet be able to see. If you need something more tangible, try writing down what you are ready to let go of and release control over, then safely burn the paper as an act of surrender. You can also bring in the energy of the Water element by placing your hands in a bowl of water, stream, lake, or while in a bath. As you watch the water flow, imagine releasing your intentions to move with the natural current of life.
Light codes can be powerful manifestation tools. They ground your energy into your intentions, act as a visual affirmation, and maintain a steady frequency when your focus is elsewhere. For a deeper dive into light codes, check out our blog, "How to Use Light Codes for Manifestation & Spiritual Growth".
Creating a crystal grid can focus an intention and charge it with the frequencies of crystals and other natural elements. Check out our blog, "Manifesting with Intention: Activating a Crystal Grid" for a deeper dive into grids.
October is a meaningful time to honor and turn our awareness to the ancestors. They are part of the traditions, strengths, patterns, and wisdom that have shaped the people we are today. Some of these may be beautiful and life-giving, while other patterns may be ones we are here to recognize, heal, and transform. You can be grateful for what was passed down while consciously releasing what no longer serves you. In this way, healing becomes an act of Love that heals the ancestral line past, present, and future. Ancestor work does not need to be complicated. It can begin with a simple remembrance by lighting a candle, creating an ancestor altar with photographs and meaningful objects, or sharing stories with your family members. Energy healing sessions such as Reiki, Shamanic, and Family Constellations are other ways to work with or through ancestral patterns.
I trust the Divine wisdom within me and I release the need to control and allow myself to flow with the path unfolding before me.
A sacred space is a place intentionally created to support your spiritual practice, quiet your mind, and reconnect you with yourself. It does not need to be elaborate, expensive, or even indoors. It can be a small corner in your bedroom, a room devoted to your practice, a peaceful spot in your garden, or beneath a tree. What makes your space sacred is not what you place within it, but the intention you bring to it.
In a world filled with distraction and constant movement, having a place where you can pause and reconnect is more important than ever. Your sacred space can become an energetic boundary and give you somewhere to breathe, reflect, listen to your intuition, set intentions, release what you no longer need, or simply be. You might begin your morning there with a few moments of stillness, meditation, pulling oracle or tarot cards, breathwork, journaling, or intention setting. The end of the day could be a time for releasing any energy, situations, or thoughts you wish to no longer carry. This can also be a place for exploring creativity such as writing, drawing, reading, or practicing sound. An outdoor sacred space can be an opportunity to connect with Mother Earth, the five elements, sun, moon, or elemental realms.
Creating Your Space
Begin by choosing a place that naturally feels peaceful or meaningful to you. This may be a cozy corner in your bedroom, a small altar, or a dedicated meditation area. Outdoors, you might create a space on a patio, beneath a tree, among plants or herbs, or somewhere you can sit and observe. Let it reflect you and the energy you want to cultivate.
Below are some ideas for items you may want to incorporate, but the possibilities are truly endless! You can also check out our Instagram Reel for more ideas on creating your sacred space.
Cleansing Your Sacred Space
Over time, a space can begin to feel stagnant simply because it has held our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Cleansing offers an opportunity to intentionally clear away what no longer belongs there and to create a fresh beginning. Making it a regular practice can help maintain the sense of intention you have created. Our favorite tools are burning smudging herbs such as sage or using sound through drumming. For a deeper dive into cleansing and smudging, check out our blog: Revitalize Your Space: Spring Energetic Clearing.
A sacred space gives us permission to pause. It creates a physical reminder to step away from everyday life and return to our inner world. It also gives us a place to intentionally connect with our spiritual practice rather than waiting until we feel overwhelmed or disconnected. Your sacred space can be somewhere you go when you need guidance, celebrate moments of growth, release energy, and somewhere to reconnect with your intentions. Let it become a place where you can slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the stillness within.
With its golden-brown bands and natural chatoyancy, Tiger Eye is often associated with courage, confidence, protection, and personal power. It carries an energy that is both grounding and motivating. Tiger Eye is the perfect crystal for moments when you are ready to move forward with greater clarity, trust your inner vision, and stand in your power.
Tiger Eye is strongly associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy center associated with confidence, willpower, self-esteem, and motivation. When this chakra is balanced, you establish healthy boundaries, easily make decisions, and take responsibility for the direction of your life. When it is out of alignment, you may experience self-doubt, lack of motivation, or a tendency to give away your power to others. Place a Tiger Eye crystal on your Solar Plexus Chakra, located above the navel, during meditation with an intention to reconnect with your inner strength.
Tiger Eye amplifies our inner vision, awareness, and the ability to see beyond the surface of a situation. Its reflective energy is a reminder that perception changes as we shift our perspective. It invites us to slow down, look inward, and become more aware of the subtle intuitive messages. Inner vision reveals through a quiet knowing, a feeling in the body, a dream, a sudden insight, or a deeper understanding that rises from within. Working with a Tiger Eye pendulum can help seek clarity and offer validation. For a deeper dive into using a pendulum, check out our blog, "Programming & Working With a Pendulum".
Tiger Eye occurs in different color variations and mineral combinations, each offering its own unique appearance and energetic symbolism. Here are some of our favorites to work with!
Blue Tiger Eye, also known as Falcon Eye, deepens your inner awareness and illuminates blind spots. It emits a powerful energy that is grounding during chaotic situations.
Red Tiger Eye, also known as Bull's Eye, promotes inner strength, courage, and encourages motivation. It inspires creativity and determination to follow your dreams.
Tiger Iron combines Tiger Eye and Hematite for a strong, grounding crystal that helps to connect with Mother Earth. When our energy is grounded and held by Mother Earth, we are present, centered, and balanced.
Nellite is a combination of Tiger Eye and Pietersite that connects the Solar Plexus Chakra and the Third Eye Chakra offering a deeper connection to our inner vision. It gently encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone with confidence and clarity.
The Autumn Equinox invites us to pause between what has been and what is becoming. This threshold is the moment of standing between two spaces: leaving something behind and stepping into something new. There is quiet wisdom in this transition. It is a time to release, trusting that what is to come will carry us through the season ahead.
This is an opportunity to consider what we are ready to release. Letting go does not mean walking away from something or someone completely. Sometimes it means releasing an expectation, an old version of ourselves, a habit, fear, a story we have carried, or the need to control how something unfolds. It can be as simple as acknowledging that something has served its purpose and giving ourselves permission to move forward.
This season naturally encourages reflection, an invitation to turn our attention inward and take inventory of the experiences, lessons, relationships, choices, and intentions that have shaped our year so far. Before we can consciously let go or release, we have to become aware of what we are carrying. Instead of judging what has or has not happened, approach this reflection with curiosity.
Once something is released, there is space to consider what you want to invite in. Rather than creating a long "to do" list of things you need to accomplish, consider choosing one or two qualities you want to embody during the season ahead. Let them become guiding intentions rather than goals. Creating a simple ritual this season can help you reflect on where you have been, honor what you have learned, and intentionally release what you no longer wish to carry forward. Give yourself permission to slow down, become present, and listen to what is asking to be acknowledged within you.
Letting go is an act of trust. When we release, we make room for what is meaningful and enter into the next season with great awareness!
Our annual trip to the Denver Gem Show is more than an opportunity to discover beautiful crystals and treasures from around the world. It is a chance to connect with the mountains, fellow crystal lovers from all over the world, and with the people who make this community so meaningful to us. This year brought all of these things together: gorgeous crystals, new discoveries, familiar faces, and more heartfelt connections.
Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters - Arvada, Colorado
Kindness Crystals
Whenever we travel, we love leaving crystals behind to be discovered, trusting they will find their way to the right person and bring a little joy, comfort, or peace into their day. As we made our way to Denver, we left Kindness Crystals along the way, each with a special message and an invitation to keep it, carry it with you, or pass it along to someone who could use a little kindness.
Gem Show Bracelet: Higher Ground
We continued our tradition of creating a special crystal beaded bracelet inspired by the gem show, and this year, we invited our community to be part of the process by helping us choose its name! Inspired by exploration, connection, and finding your way, this year's bracelet is a reminder to stay grounded in your purpose while staying open to where the journey leads. We incorporated the beauty of Astrophyllite, Golden Tiger Eye, Blue Tiger Eye, and Citrine to encourage transformation, abundance, confidence, and purposeful action.
One of our favorite traditions is building a crystal grid at the show. This year we were called to set intentions for healing, hope, and connection for our community. We created a crystal grid in the Rocky Mountains, grounding our intentions into the transformative frequencies of Mother Earth, Echo Lake, and the surrounding wildlife. As we offered our intentions to the land, we also held space for gratitude, honoring Mother Earth not only for all that she gives us, but for the ways we can give back and walk in greater harmony with the natural world and with each other. See how the grid came together over on our Instagram Reel.
On our way to build the grid, we were gifted with a beautiful encounter with a female moose. Sometimes animals are meaningful reminders from our loved ones who've passed to offer a sense of connection or reassurance. The strength and resilience of this moose felt especially significant as we carried our intentions up the mountain. Her resilience and protective nature was a validation of what were are creating, holding our intentions with purpose, respect for Mother Earth, and trusting in our inner vision and Divine guidance.
We met so many wonderful people from around the world, each with their own stories, knowledge, and experiences to share. Creating meaningful connections is something we believe builds our strong, supportive community.
We are especially grateful for the people who made this trip so meaningful! Connecting with people from across the world reminded us how many people share a genuine appreciation for beauty and energy of crystals. Thank you to everyone who followed along in stories and joined our Lives! Be sure to also check out our Denver Gem Show highlight over on highlight part 1 and part 2 for all the behind-the-scenes! You can also check out our Instagram Reel recap. We're so excited to share all our new finds with you once our pallets arrive - each piece was chosen with intention and guided by the energy of connection and inspiration!
Life is an ever-evolving experience of shifting emotions, thoughts, and energy. There are moments and opportunities when we feel empowered, inspired, and connected, and others when fear, doubt, anxiety, or frustration take over. Our energy is always in motion and with intention and spiritual tools, we can guide ourselves toward greater balance and well-being. By working with these tools intentionally, we can create space for new perspectives, healthier habits, and more aligned energy.
We all experience moments when our energy feels scattered, emotions run high, or we find ourselves reacting rather than responding. Stress, frustration, overstimulation, uncertainty, and difficult interactions can pull us away from our center. While we cannot always control what happens around us, we can cultivate practices that help us pause, reconnect with ourselves, and consciously shift the energy we are carrying.
When something triggers an emotion and we haven't had time to process what is happening, we may respond with thoughts, words, and actions that are more reactive than intentional. Beginning with awareness itself can change the experience because it allows you the opportunity to choose what comes next. Instead of asking yourself "Why am I reacting this way?" try asking, "What do I need right now to return to myself?" This simple shift moves the focus away from judgment and toward self-awareness.
"I can honor my emotions without allowing them to control me."
As with any meaningful transformation, small, intentional practices can help support this shift. These are some of our favorite tools for moving from reactivity to balanced and centered.
Crystals
Working with crystals intentionally can support your intentions through grounding and releasing energy, shifting your mindset, and provide clarity. Our favorites to work with to reinforce feelings of centeredness and reflection are Petrified Wood, Tourmaline in Quartz, Gold Sheen Obsidian, Blue Calcite, Blue Kyanite, and Thousand Eye (Shell) Jasper.
Calling Back Energy
When our energy is scattered, we pull our attention into unresolved emotions, replaying past experiences, or focusing on situations beyond our control. When we remain invested in this energy, we may feel depleted, ungrounded, and more vulnerable to negative thought patterns. Consciously calling our energy back can help restore a sense of wholeness, calm the nervous system, and bring us back to the present moment.
Try this simple practice prior to sleep, after a stressful event, or a challenging conversation. Lying in bed or in a comfortable position with your eyes closed, set the intention to call back your energy using a simple statement such as, "I call back all of my energy..." You can add "from" and list people and places your energy was invested during the day such as work, stores, school, large gatherings, television, electronics, social media, and AI. You can visualize your energy returning to your energy field as a golden light infusing your Solar Plexus Chakra.
Energetic Cords
Energetic cords are subtle energetic connections that can form between people, places, and experiences. A cord does not necessarily mean a relationship is unhealthy or that the other person is intentionally taking your energy. Sometimes a cord simply represents an attachment that is emotionally charged or a connection that you're ready to experience differently. If you find yourself ruminating over someone or an experience, feel emotionally activated or drained by a particular person or situation, or feel yourself carrying someone else's emotions you may be holding onto energetic cords that are pulling you off center. Releasing energetic cords is not to erase or deny the experience or person, but to consciously move forward with greater clarity, sovereignty, and peace.
Releasing cords is a symbolic practice to reclaiming your energy. There are different ways to approach releasing cords. In a space of stillness, call on your spirit team to assist you in dissolving the cord. Visualize the cord between you and the other person/situation. Offer the cord gratitude for its lessons and ask for it to release. "I release this cord with compassion and gratitude. I call my energy back home and return what is not mine to carry." You can imagine it being dissolved with fire or cut with a pair of scissors or sword. In Kyle Gray's Raise Your Vibration: High-Vibe Tools to Support Your Spiritual Awakening, he offers a simple prayer to releasing cords with the assistance of Archangel Michael. "Thank you, Universal Source, Archangel Michael, and angels of protection, for cutting the cords that bind me to people, places, energy, situations, institutions, and any other stuff I no longer need. It feels so good to know you are here. I am safe and free!" You may want to finish this practice with a salt bath or smudging your auric field. For a deeper dive in releasing cords, consider an energy healing session such as Reiki.
Sound
Using sound vibrational instruments can move energy and promote relaxation, mindfulness, and inner awareness. Singing bowls, drums, gongs, rattles, and chimes are examples of sound instruments that can bring you back to the present moment. If you're playing the instrument yourself or attending a sound bath, use that time to set an intention to release a cord or energy that is no longer in alignment.
The process of writing down your feelings and emotions on paper can provide clarity and transform an unconscious reaction into a conscious reflection. Set aside perfectionism or the need to make sense of everything, and begin with whatever is present. A few prompts to help you track into the energy: "What am I feeling?", "What triggered me?", "What story am I telling myself about this situation?", "What do I need right now?" Once you've placed those thoughts on the page, shift the perspective. "How would I like to respond?", "What am I ready to release?", "How can I carry this forward?" You may feel called to release the paper and thoughts in a fire or Full Moon releasing ceremony.
Energetic Reset
A daily practice of resetting your energy in the morning and before bedtime is a simple tool to help you become more intentional about what energy you carry with you. There are many different ways to work with your energy, and there is no single practice that is right for everyone. Explore different tools and rituals and choose the ones that resonate with you and make you feel supportive in the moment. The goal is not to create another routine you have to follow, but to develop a personal practice that helps you consciously begin and end each day feeling grounded, clear, and connected to yourself. You can use meditation, breathwork, crystals, sound, a simple prayer, blessing, or song, or visualization.
Shifting Your Energy: Reactivity to Balanced & Centered
You don't have to incorporate every tool at once. Trust your intuition and begin with the practice that speaks to you most. Small, consistent shifts often create the most meaningful transformation. As you continue to choose balance and self over reactivity and reconnect with your inner compass, you'll discover that the strength, resilience, and guidance you've been seeking have been within you all along.
Enhydro crystals are among our most sought after and fascinating mineral formations. These unique crystals contain a visible pocket of ancient water, often accompanied by an air bubble that moves when the crystal is gently tilted. The water has been held within the crystal since its formation, creating a remarkable union of Earth and water. These inclusions can be found in several types of crystals, including Quartz and Amethyst. Enhydro crystals can be powerful tools for balancing emotions, deepening your intuition, and connection with the ancient wisdom of Mother Earth.
Water is associated with our emotions, intuition, purification, memory, and the flow of life. Combined with the grounding energy of crystals, Enhydro crystals hold a distinctive spiritual symbolism. They represent the relationship between movement and stillness, emotion and grounding, and to be in flow with oneself and the outer world. Water can carry memory, an essence of a moment in Earth's vast history. Working with an Enhydro crystal can tap into this well of knowledge and encourage spiritual shifts. During meditation, holding an Enhydro crystal, visualize yourself in the water bubble and observe what downloads or transmissions arise.
Intuition and Inner Wisdom
Enhydro crystals are often associated with intuitive awareness because of their connection to water. Water symbolizes the subconscious mind, dreams, inner knowing, and mysteries below the surface. Working with Enhydro crystals during dreamtime can uncover deeper layers of your inner awareness. Before sleep, hold the Enhydro and set an intention to receive insight, recall your dreams, or to become more receptive to your inner guidance. Keep a journal nearby so you can record your dreams and impressions upon waking. Even if you can't recall the actual "story" of your dream, feel into the emotions that you wake with and record those. Over time, notice recurring symbols, feelings, and themes that can help you develop a deeper relationship with your intuitive voice and recognize the wisdom that is already within you.
Enhydro crystals are often associated with the Sacral Chakra because of their relationship with creativity, passion, and the ability to move with the natural flow of life. Imbalances of the Sacral Chakra can often manifest as feelings of guilt, emotional overload, a lack of creativity, or feelings of being "stuck". We may find difficulty expressing our true desires and feel as thought we've lost our way. Feelings of jealousy and envy may sabotage our relationships and create undesirable working and home environments. When the Sacral Chakra is balanced, we are creativity inspired, emotionally balanced, and able to move through change without being overwhelmed by it. Working with an Enhydro crystal can encourage a return to a natural healthy flow. During meditation, place an Enhydro crystal over the Sacral Chakra, the lower abdomen a few fingers below the navel, while visualizing its inner water gently flowing freely through this physical area, clearing, purifying, and grounding your energy.
Connecting With Water & Inner Wisdom
Enhydro crystals invite us to remember the wisdom found in flow. They encourage us to listen beneath the noise of the conscious mind and tap into what we feel, sense, and know within. Our emotions and intuition can be valuable guides when we give them space and surrender to the natural movement of our own spiritual journey.
One of the most common questions customers ask us is whether they should choose raw or polished crystals. While both carry the same energetic signature of the specific minerals, the way the crystal is shaped can influence how the energy is experienced and how it it used in your spiritual practice. Each offers a different energetic expression, and understanding these differences allows you to intuitively choose the crystal that best aligns with your intentions.
Raw crystals have been minimally altered after being mined. Their natural formations, edges, and crystal faces remain largely intact. They carry a deeply grounding vibration that resonates with Mother Earth. These are our favorite ways to use raw crystals.
Polished crystals have been carefully cut, shaped, and smoothed into softer surfaces, creating a gentler energetic flow. They can be carved into a wide variety of shapes and styles. Their energy radiates more evenly for subtle, continuous energetic support. These are our favorite ways to use polished crystals.
Life transitions (beginning or ending of a career or relationship, moving, empty nester, etc), ask us to release what is familiar while embracing and trusting the future.

Whether you’re drawn to the natural formation of a raw crystal or the smooth, gentle feel of a polished stone, trust that the one you’re meant to work with will find its way to you.
Each number carries its own unique vibration and wisdom. Number 9 is the vibration of completion, spiritual wisdom, compassion, and Love. As the final single digit, it represents the closing of a cycle and the wisdom gathered through every experience that came before it. Number 9 teaches us that endings are not conclusions. They are sacred thresholds that create space for renewal, transformation, and new beginnings. Its energy encourages us to release what has been completed, honor the lessons we have learned, and move forward with greater understanding.
How to Work with Number 9
Number 9 holds the wisdom of the number that come before it, giving it a sense of depth and spiritual awareness. The energy is expansive and deeply connected to the greater collective. It can inspire us to see beyond surface differences and approach others with greater understanding. Number 9 invites us to reflect on our own experiences we have outgrown and to release them with gratitude. This may include limiting beliefs, emotional patterns, unfinished projects, or attachments to versions of ourselves that no longer reflect who we are becoming. Number 9 teaches us that release does not erase the value of what came before but each experience becomes part of our wisdom.
The sacred number 9 reminds us that every ending contains a new beginning and invites us to gather the wisdom of our experiences, release what no longer belongs on our path, and to move forward with compassion.
The month of September is a quiet shift in the year from the vibrancy of summer to the more reflective season of autumn. Typically, the Autumn Equinox is a time of harvest, gratitude, and integration. We are invited in this space to reflect on what we have cultivated throughout the year. These can be obvious outward achievements but this is also an opportunity to consider inner growth as well. Stronger boundaries, deeper intuition, renewed confidence, or wisdom gained from challenges are accomplishments that may go unrecognized. We pulled a card from Rebecca Campbell's Work Your Light oracle card deck for inspiration and clarification on what lies ahead this month.
The Great Gathering
It's all coming together. Intuitive hits. Soul tribe.
You are being called to let your intuition move you physically. You are connected to a group of souls who are weaving a web around the planet, and as you travel and share your creations something is rethreaded. This card is an acknowledgment that you are either being called to connect with others who are like you at a soul level or that you already are......You are part of a group of souls who agreed to be here at this time in history to heal yourself, your ancestral line, and the planet.....It's time to call in your tribe by sharing your soul's voice and letting yourself be seen. When you share what is real and true to you, and you share the medicine that you most need, those who are like you will gather around you.
As the seasons begin to shift, you may feel called to take inventory of your inner and outer worlds. Are your relationships reflecting the person you are becoming? Are you surrounded by people who encourage your growth while allowing you to remain true to yourself? Balance is an important theme for September. Notice where you are seeking belonging by changing yourself to fit in, or whether you are allowing yourself to be authentically known. Empaths, on a subconscious level, tend to match the energy of the other people surrounding them in order to create harmony, feel accepted, or avoid discomfort. Notice when you adapt from a place of authentic connection and when you may be shifting away from your truth. True connection does not require you to diminish your light.
As you ponder this card, reflect on the following questions:
Where do I feel most accepted, inspired, and free to be my authentic self?
What part of myself is asking to be seen, expressed, or welcomed into a deeper sense of belonging?
What relationships or communities reflect the person I am becoming, and which ones no longer feel aligned with my journey?
Am I adapting my energy to create genuine connection, or am I changing myself in order to fit in?
Working with energetically aligned crystals and tools can be a source of support as you navigate throughout the month.
Crystals such as Pink Amethyst, Tourmaline in Quartz, Tanzanite, Dendritic Jade, and Bloodstone can facilitate heart opening, fostering deeper connections, and spiritual reflection.
Finding your community or soul tribe begins with becoming more deeply connected to your authentic self. Pay attention to places, experiences, and teachings that naturally light you up, and then seek out spaces where people share those same interests, values, and passions. Community circles, meditation groups, creative workshops, or wellness events are great places to begin having more meaningful conversations and relationships. Let your intuition guide you rather than trying to force a connection. Who or what leaves you feeling energized, understood, inspired, and open to be yourself?
Turning inward and listening beyond the noise of the external world can strengthen your intuition, mental clarity, and inner vision. Tarot and oracle cards, pendulums, and guided meditations can serve as mirrors, offer symbols and insights that help bring what is already within you into clearer awareness. With practice, you may begin to recognize the difference between the mental chatter and the quiet knowing of your intuition. Practice with these tools daily or as often as you are called to, to strengthen and sharpen your intuitive insights.
Soul reclamation is the gentle process of returning to the parts of yourself you may have disconnected from in order to belong, be accepted, protected, or to navigate the expectations of others or society. Through journaling, meditation, sound vibrational instruments (especially drums), or quiet reflection, invite those forgotten parts of yourself back into your awareness. For a deeper dive, consider a shamanic healing session to retrieve those core fragments.
As an empath, you can create deep compassion and understanding but it can also be easy to lose touch with your own center. Practice being present without absorbing, listening without carrying, and connecting without mirroring. Use your favorite grounding tools and set an intention before social situations that require a lot of your energy. Notice and observe when you begin to change your tone, personality, or energy to create harmony and to ease others comfort levels. Give yourself permission to pause and return to your own natural rhythm.
You may be pulled to step beyond what feels familiar and expand your spiritual toolkit. September may be the month to learn a new energy modality, deepen an existing practice, or explore a skill that has been quietly calling you. Taking that first step may feel uncomfortable, but growth often asks us to move beyond the edge of what we already know. If you find yourself procrastinating, pause and explore what may be underneath the resistance. Are you afraid of getting it wrong, stepping outside your comfort zone, being seen, or committing to a version of yourself that is ready to grow? Sometimes procrastination is not a lack of motivation but a signal that something within us needs attention before we move on.
I trust the wisdom of my soul, honor my authentic path, and welcome the people and connections that nurture my spiritual journey.
Life is an ever-evolving experience of shifting emotions, thoughts, and energy. There are moments and opportunities when we feel empowered, inspired, and connected, and others when fear, doubt, anxiety, or frustration take over. Our energy is always in motion and with intention and spiritual tools, we can guide ourselves toward greater balance and well-being. By working with these tools intentionally, we can create space for new perspectives, healthier habits, and more aligned energy.
There are moments in life when it feels as though nothing is flowing. Opportunities seem distant, finances feel tight, creativity dries up, and even joy feels difficult to access. This energetic state is often described as a scarcity mindset. Our thoughts become rooted in fear, lack, and the belief that there simply isn't enough or left for me. It often shows up as constant worry about money or resources, comparing self to others, feeling "behind" in life, difficult celebrating others' successes, fear of making decisions or taking risks, and an overwhelming belief that there are limited options and opportunities.
"I release the belief that there is not enough and welcome new possibilities into my life."
Shifting from scarcity to abundance begins with becoming aware of opportunities, resources, connections, and possibilities that are already present. You may feel more confident sharing your ideas, celebrating the success of others, pursuing new experiences, and trusting yourself to make choices that support your growth. Gratitude becomes a natural part of your daily life, helping you to recognize abundance not only through material wealth, but also through Love, creativity, meaningful relationships, and the small blessings woven into each day.
As with any meaningful transformation, small, intentional practices can help support this shift. These are some of our favorite tools for moving from scarcity to abundance.
Working with crystals intentionally can support your intentions through encouraging motivation, shifting your mindset, and provide clarity. Our favorites to work with to reinforce feelings of self-confidence, positive outlook, and resilience are White Jade, Green Aventurine, Pyrite, Smoky Citrine, Money Agate, and Dendritic Agate.
Creating a crystal grid can focus an intention and charge it with the frequencies of crystals and other natural elements. Incorporate the above crystals to amplify abundance energy and choose a specific intention such as, "I release fear surrounding money and welcome a more peaceful, empowered relationship with money" or "My creativity is abundant, and I welcome curiosity, inspiration, fresh perspective, and an aligned flow of creative energy".

New Moon Ceremony
The energy of the new moon offers an intentional space to honor the abundance already present in your life while making new intentions for the future. Rather than focusing on what you want to receive, consider what you are ready to create, cultivate, or welcome into your life. Abundance can also appear as creativity, supportive relationships, confidence, opportunities, or a deeper sense of purpose. For a simple new moon ceremony, find a quiet, peaceful space and light a candle. In a journal, write down three things you are grateful for and three forms of abundance you would like to invite or strengthen during the upcoming lunar cycle. Focus not only on the desired outcome, but include the qualities you want to carry along the way, such as confidence, patience, determination, or divine trust. Visualize yourself taking the steps toward your intentions. Close your ceremony by placing your hands over your heart and speaking an affirmation, such as "I am grateful for all that I have. I am open to new, aligned possibilities and I am ready to nurture the abundance that is unfolding in my life".
Past Life and Ancestral Healing
Sometimes a scarcity mindset exists as energetic imprints that are carried through our ancestral lineage or past-life experiences. Consider the many experiences of loss, hardship, and uncertainty that may have shaped your ancestral lineage: deaths, war, persecution, famine, political conflict, loss of farms, homes, or livelihood, displacement, and economic depression. These unresolved and inherited patterns continue to show up in our present life as limiting beliefs or emotional reactions that are not even ours. Exploring this angle through energy healing sessions such as QHHT, Akashic readings, Past Life Constellation sessions, or Shamanic healing sessions, can remove scarcity based emotions and patterns that are out of alignment with your authentic self. Releasing these energetic imprints not only frees you from carrying the weight but also creates healing that can ripple through your ancestral lineage, past, present, and future.
Gratitude Practice
When we cultivate gratitude, we open our hearts and recognize the lessons and patterns that are holding us back from abundance. Begin each morning with a simple gratitude practice. Ask yourself questions such as, "What simple comfort am I thankful for?", "Who made my life brighter this past week?", or ""What challenge is teaching me something valuable?" You can quietly reflect on these or write them down in a gratitude journal. For more information, check out our blog, "The Spiritual Meaning of Gratitude & How to Deepen Your Practice".
The Rose
The sacred flower Rose is a symbol and vessel of the Divine Feminine and consciousness. It is a multidimensional symbol of Love and the sacred feminine in full bloom. Its subtle frequency teaches us about sacred timing, divine surrender, and inner courage. Working with the Rose reminds us that abundance begins with allowing ourselves to receive. A scarcity mindset may encourage us to close our heart space, remain guarded, or believe that we must struggle and suffer to deserve good things. The Rose helps us to soften our beliefs that keep us from receiving and accepting support, opportunities, Love, inspiration, or prosperity. Rather than forcing abundance, we cultivate an inner state of openness, gratitude, and trust. To work with Rose consciousness, plant Roses in your garden, hold a Rose during meditation, infuse your skin or home with the scent of Roses, use Rose Petals in a bath, tea, tincture preparation, or your altar, or work with Rose Quartz crystals.
Stepping into Abundance
You don't have to incorporate every tool at once. Trust your intuition and begin with the practice that speaks to you most. Small, consistent shifts often create the most meaningful transformation. As you continue to choose abundance and gratitude over lack and reconnect with your inner truth you'll discover that the strength, resilience, and guidance you've been seeking have been within you all along.
