A natural tool for finding harmony and balance in every day life is the use of crystal harmonizers. They are cylindrical crystals, often used in pairs, held in each hand to balance the body's energy field. They can also be made from contrasting material such as Shungite and Soapstone to represent and stimulate dual aspects of energy (e.g.-masculine and feminine).
Balancing Energy They can be used to align our chakras. By holding one harmonizer in each hand, the energetic flow between your left (receiving) and right (giving) sides is activated, helping to restore internal balance. Traditionally, the left hand connects to our feminine energy and the right hand connects to our masculine energy.
Meditation Support Using harmonizers during meditation can deepen your practice and focus. Choosing a crystal harmonizer such as Amethyst or Clear Quartz can clear your mind and elevate your spiritual awareness.
Emotional Release Harmonizers can assist in releasing emotional blockages and cords. When the frequency of the crystal interacts with our energy fields, we begin to feel experience feelings of calm and peace. Selenite harmonizers are the perfect tool for clearing energy and bringing in light.
Connection with Higher Self Crystals can raise your vibration and amplify your intentions. Working with them regularly can strengthen your connection to your higher self, increase your intuitive abilities, and support your journey of self-discovery. They can also be utilized as support when trying to connect with your ancestral lineage-left hand/side, your maternal ancestors and the right hand/side, your paternal ancestors.
Morning Routine Begin your day grounded and intentional. Spend a few moments in quiet, holding one harmonizer in each hand, close your eyes, and breathe deeply for 5-10 minutes. Set your intentions for the day.
Meditation Harmonizers can be used to enhance your existing meditation practice. Focus on your breath while holding the crystals to deepen your sense of calm and clarity.
Chakra Alignment While lying down, place the harmonizers on the chakra points you are working on. Visualize energy flowing between the harmonizers and through your body, clearing blockages, and restoring alignment.
Bedtime Routine Include crystal harmonizers in your bedtime routine. They can release the energy of the day, quiet the mind, and help you transition to a restful, restorative state.
Energy Healing Sessions Practitioners can use harmonizers with their clients for additional support of chakra balancing and directing energy flow. Harmonizers can also be used during sound baths-holding one in each hand can ground your energy and realign you with your natural rhythms.
Crystal harmonizers remind us to pause, breathe, and return to our natural state of balance within our body, mind, and spirit. Trust your intention, explore with an open heart, and allow the harmonizers to support you on your spiritual journey!
Pluto, the smallest and the eighth (dwarf) planet away from the Sun, represents the underworld of our psyche and our hidden powers. It governs our spiritual and emotional death and rebirth, pushing us through deep metamorphosis, stripping away illusions, and forcing us to face our truths. Named after the Roman God, Pluto, who was known for transformation through hidden power, the energy behind this planet helps us to confront our shadows and emerge anew. Pluto rules the zodiac sign, Scorpio, drawing in those influenced by the mysteries of life and spiritual healing.
Pluto's symbol represents the spirit (circle) rising over the mind (crescent) and matter (cross). It resonates with the color dark purple and numbers 0 (the void), 9 (spiritual completion and initiation), and 13 (profound transformation and cycles of change).
Transformation & Rebirth: The complete breakdown of old patterns and beliefs so that there is room for greater truths to emerge. This leads to deep healing, regeneration, and shedding of old layers that no longer serve you.
Power & Empowerment: It challenges you to face your fears, release limiting beliefs, and reclaim parts of you that are hidden or buried.
Soul Evolution & Cycles: Pluto pushes us to evolve through cycles of death and rebirth, helping us ascend spiritually by confronting our shadow selves and integrating higher truths.
Revealing Truths: Pluto uncovers what is hidden within ourselves or what is really playing out in our personal situations. It strips away illusions to reveal our subconscious, guiding us to live more authentically and consciously aligned within our deeper truths.
Our favorite crystals to connect with its energy are Silver Sheen Obsidian, Chevron Amethyst, Labradorite, and Purpurite. They can assist in self-awakening, raise our intuition, and shift old patterns and beliefs.
Pluto reminds us that transformation is not an ending, but a powerful beginning. When we release old patterns and beliefs, we awaken to deeper truths and reclaim our inner strength!

Each shape of crystals is believed to carry a unique vibrational frequency that can influence the way we experience its energy. Holding crystals in your hands such as palm stones and worry stones, stand out as powerful tools for personal connection, grounding, and emotional support.
Palm stones are smooth, polished crystals that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. They are designed to be held during meditation, placed on the body for energy work, or simply carried throughout the day. They are often used for deep energetic connection and when used in meditation they can act as a focal point for your energy or intentions, deepening your spiritual practice. Palm stones can also be placed directly on specific chakras that you're working on. For example, if you're trying to open your Heart Chakra, place a Rose Quartz palm stone on your chest, take deep breaths, and visualize the energy of the crystal opening and aligning your heart space.
Worry stones have a smooth feel and can be used to reduce stress and anxiety, soothe your heart space, and clear your mind. They are smaller, flatter crystals with a carved indentation for the thumb. Hold the stone between your index finger and thumb and gently rub your thumb back and forth across the smooth indentation when you're feeling worried, stressed, or in need of concentration. These are perfect size for children, as well, and be easily carried in their pockets or in their backpacks.
Though compact in size, palm stones and worry stones carry a powerful energetic impact. They are tangible tools to help you stay connected to your intentions, calm your mind, and anchor your energy—whether you’re navigating a busy day, sitting in meditation, or simply taking a mindful pause.
Carry them with you daily as physical reminders of your strength, your healing, and your goals. Sometimes, the smallest stones can offer the biggest support.
There’s something powerful about putting pen to paper. Journaling isn’t just a habit—it’s a way to truly tune into yourself. It helps you slow down, clear your mind, and reconnect with what’s real and meaningful.

It’s a space where you can:
You don’t have to be “a writer.” You just have to show up for yourself. Don’t overthink it—just put pen to paper and let your thoughts flow onto the page.
Whether you're navigating a transition, craving more joy, or simply needing a reset, here are some prompts to guide you:
When You’re Moving Through Change
When You’re Craving Peace
When You Want to Tap into Intuition
When You’re Calling in Joy
When You’re in a Reflective Mood
Journaling doesn’t have to look a certain way. There’s no right or wrong—just you, your thoughts, and the page. Let it be a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether it’s early morning with a warm cup of tea, or late at night when everything’s quiet—writing can help you feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded in your truth.
Find a journal that feels like it’s yours. Carve out a few quiet minutes. And let whatever’s inside flow through. You might be surprised by what your inner voice has to say.

Summer is the season of expansion, abundance, and fiery energy! This time of year invites us to connect with joy and radiate from our hearts. One way to align with this energy is through aromatherapy. Here are our favorite oils to connect into the energy of this season!
Bergamot helps shift emotional heaviness, such as grief and loneliness, to bring in optimism and positivity. It supports the alignment of your Solar Plexus chakra-your center of confidence and personal power. Diffuse in your personal space when in need of an emotional boost or apply with a carrier oil on your Solar Plexus, located in the upper abdomen, above your navel. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Grapefruit's bright, uplifting scent infuses your space with vitality. This oil can soothe mental fatigue and offer a quick emotional reset. Inhale directly from the bottle or diffuse in your work or study space for a boost of motivation. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Sweet Orange supports joy and opens our heart space. Use this oil in your diffuser first thing in the morning to set the tone for the day. It helps move stagnant energy in your home and infuses your space with optimism. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Lemongrass eases unfocused thoughts to bring in clarity and sharpens our inner vision. It is naturally protective and can provide an energetic reset into your home. Its bright, fresh scent is strong and can easily overpower blends, so use sparingly. Lemongrass can be irritating to skin so always dilute well with a carrier oil when applying. It can also be used (in combination with other essential oils) as a natural insect deterrent.
You don’t need elaborate tools—just a candle, your breath, and a moment to be fully present with yourself. This is your sacred space for reconnecting, reflecting, and aligning with your highest intentions.
1. Set Your Space
Choose a quiet, comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed. You may wish to include grounding or supportive elements like crystals, herbs, or calming music.
2. Clarify Your Intention
Before lighting the candle, gently bring your focus inward. Ask yourself:
What energy am I calling in? What do I need to release, heal, or align with?
Your intention might be a word (like “peace,” “clarity,” or “trust”) or a phrase (like “I allow myself to be fully present” or “I am open to guidance and love”).
Hold your intention in your heart for a few breaths, letting it settle in.
3. Choose Your Candle Intuitively
Take a moment to tune in and connect with your intention. Then, allow yourself to be guided toward a candle color or scent that feels aligned with the energy you wish to cultivate. Whether it’s a calming lavender for peace, a vibrant orange for creativity, or a grounding earthy tone for stability—trust your intuition to lead you to what you need most in this moment.
4. Light the Candle with Purpose
As you light the flame, speak your intention aloud or silently. Example:
“I light this candle as a symbol of clarity, presence, and peace. May this flame carry my intention with love and purpose.”
Let the flame be a gentle reminder of the light within you.
Best For:
Snuffing Out and Relighting
Symbolism: You’re nurturing an intention over time—like tending a flame. Each relighting renews your focus.
Best For:
If you snuff your candle, do so intentionally and mentally or verbally affirm that your intention remains active.
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.
Karma & Life Lessons
Saturn brings forth karmic debts and lessons in the manner of challenges, restrictions, and difficult experiences. These life lessons help us on our journey of personal and spiritual growth.
Endurance & Resilience
Saturn teaches us through experience and endurance. We learn to face our fears and life choices. This is essential for transformation as we overcome our own personal challenges.
Structure & Order
Saturn reminds us of the importance of personal and emotional boundaries within our relationships. It helps us to cultivate self-discipline so we can grow and evolve.
Spiritual Grounding
Saturn's energy anchors in our Root chakra, offering us resilience and strength. It affirms us with integrity and integrates life lessons for our personal evolution.
Saturn's Return
Astrologically speaking, every twenty nine and a half years, we experience our Saturn's Return. This is a major time of deep transformation, where old patterns fall away, and we are pushed along to realign on our true path.
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!
There’s something deeply special about connecting with the Earth—especially when you're surrounded by the crystal energy and the quiet wisdom of Mother Nature. Our recent adventure to the historic Herkimer County area in New York was nothing short of magical, as we set out to mine for the beautiful and powerful Herkimer Diamonds.
We began our trip the way we always do: by setting intentions with a crystal grid. Grounding ourselves in clarity and purpose allowed us to align with the energy of the land and stay present and protected throughout our journey.
At each mine we visited, we paused to honor the Earth, offering gratitude to Mother Earth through crystal and herb offerings, Reiki energy, and heartfelt intention. These meaningful rituals helped us stay connected—not just to the crystals we hoped to find, but to the spirit of the land and to ourselves.
Our favorite location was Diamond Mountain Mining, where we returned three times! This incredible site offers nearly 180 acres of land to explore, with active excavations happening regularly. The care and reverence they show for the land is felt the moment you step foot on the property. Their stewardship is truly inspiring, and we were so grateful to spend time in a space filled with such intention and respect for the Earth.
Mining Herkimers isn’t easy—it’s a labor of love. These crystals formed in dolly limestone vugs—natural pockets within the rock. To find these naturally double-terminated beauties, you must break into the rock wall and search for dirt and sand-filled cavities, sometimes chiseling and hammering for hours—power tools aren’t allowed in the mines. One of the best signs that you’re close to a pocket is spotting black anthroxolite—a clue that you're on the right path to finding a crystal! Also, antlers made incredible digging and shifting tools!
As tough as the work was, it was absolutely worth it. There's nothing like the moment you reach into a pocket and feel the smooth face of a Herkimer, pulling it from the Earth for the first time after 500 million years. We unearthed the tiniest little babies all the way up to palm-sized showpieces—each one uniquely beautiful and energetically special.
The landscape itself was stunning, with rolling hills that reminded us of home in Wisconsin, yet with its own distinct energy and charm. From tuning into the energy of the Herkimer Diamonds, to offering Reiki to the land, to the pure joy of cracking open crystal-filled pockets, every moment was a gift. This trip wasn’t just about mining—it was about connection. Connection to Earth, to spirit, to intention, and to each other.
We are incredibly grateful for this experience and honored to share it with you. If you're curious about what the journey looked like, be sure to check out our Instagram and tap our Herkimer Mining highlight for more behind-the-scenes!
