As the new year begins and we renew our intentions and resolutions, we may be searching for ways to stay motivated and focused on our goals. Here are some of our personal favorite tools we rely on to keep us on track throughout the year!
The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth chakra of our energy centers, located in the center of the forehead, between the eyebrows. It is associated with our innate intuition, (otherwise known as our "sixth sense"), our imagination, and our ability to visualize abstract and expansive concepts and ideas.
What is the Third Eye Chakra?
The Third Eye Chakra is known as Ajna Chakra in Sanskit. It resonates with the color indigo, the element of light, and the musical note "A". Its symbol is a two petaled lotus flower with a downward facing triangle and the mantra Om in the center. The sacred sound Om is said to balance and align the Third Eye Chakra. The upside down triangle represents a downward flow of energy and wisdom from higher states of consciousness to our own inner wisdom. The two petaled lotus flower on either side is symbolic of the duality and balance of the conscious and unconscious mind.
How to Balance Your Third Eye Chakra
An imbalance of the Third Eye Chakra can manifest in lack of clarity and focus, close mindedness, indecisiveness, self-limiting beliefs, and feeling stuck or uninspired. Opening your Third Eye will strengthen your intuition, motivation, and expand your ability to visualize your dreams and desires. There are several ways to balance your Third Eye Chakra and unlock its full potential. Yoga poses such as Child's Pose, Eagle Pose, and Downward Dog focus attention and energy to the Third Eye. Chanting "Om" during meditation can facilitate your connection to the Universal Life Force energy. Working with crystals such as Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Labradorite, or Iolite can gently cleanse and stimulate this energy center.
Using aromatherapy such as essential oils either by diffusing in your space or applying to your Third Eye Chakra can create flow. Pink Grapefruit, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Patchouli, Mugwort, and Nutmeg essential oils are all great choices for working with imbalance by enhancing your dreams and imagination and helping to connect you to a higher source.
Archangel Haniel is strongly associated with our intuition and bringing joy in our lives. Calling upon her during meditation can offer messages of inspiration and help you to connect with your Higher Self.
A Reiki session is another great way to bring your Third Eye Chakra into balance. Reiki practitioners are able to assess the Third Eye Chakra for imbalances and make recommendations to maintain its integrity.
When you have a greater understanding of the Third Eye Chakra, you can unlock new levels of consciousness and experience profound transformation in your life. Maintain a healthy flow of energy in your Third Eye Chakra with regular self-care and devotion to the alignment of your body, mind, and spirit. Embrace the power of the Third Eye Chakra and watch as your life transforms before your eyes!
Symbol: 
Element: Light to bring in clarity
Color: Indigo - spiritual awakening and self-mastery

We love angel numbers for their unique messages and the powerful frequencies they carry! Each year carries a different numeric vibration. 2025 is number 9. We reach this number by adding the digits.
2+0+2+5=9
The number 9 carries the energy of completion and new beginnings. This year will be a year of transformation, destiny, and purpose. Nine is also the number of Divine Wisdom and Universal Love. This number is important for lightworkers or those who are processing a spiritual awakening. The symbolic weight of soul purpose and mission for the collective is heightened during this coming year. In numerology, the Year 9 is often referred to as a "holy" year because it symbolizes spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment. It's a time to seek clarity, cleanse the soul, and connect with higher wisdom. In 2025, expect moments of deep revelation that will allow you to see life from a more expansive perspective. This could be a call to action or a desire to step out of your comfort zone as you navigate new desires and begin to follow your heart. The number 9 also carries the signature of inner-wisdom, trusting your intuition, and choosing decisions and relationships with an open heart space. In Angel Numbers, Kyle Gray describes Angel Number 9 as "The energy of the divine is awakening within you. Let your soul do the leading." You can choose this path or not-it's entirely within your control!
Embrace new beginnings with flexibility and openness, carefully considering all possibilities that are presented to you and take time to ask questions and guidance on the coming year during deep meditation. There may be things that need to be left behind in 2024 to fully embody your true potential in 2025. Journaling or setting intentions can be powerful tools to reflect and release old habits and patterns. Allow the powerful frequency of the number 9 to further your expansion and guide you into the best version of yourself in 2025! Everyone also has access to their own unique personal year number. Check out this post to calculate yours!
As we say farewell to 2024 and open our hearts to 2025, we are preparing ourselves for a new year of prosperity, abundance, and personal growth! Setting intentions for the coming year can help set the tone for success and realized potential. Stepping out of your comfort zone, removing obstacles, and aligning your intentions with the energy of the Universe are powerful methods of raising your vibration and creating your own reality. Our favorite way to honor our intentions for the new year is with an Alchemy Box.
What is an Alchemy Box?
An Alchemy Box is a physical tool that contains your intentions for the new year. Here are some of our suggestions to build your box.
Once you have completed your box, say a blessing over it and close it by the following new moon. Keep this box closed and in an undisturbed place in your home. You can also create a crystal grid to amplify your 2025 intentions. Open your box on the Winter Solstice and read through your intentions. You will be so surprised with what came to fruition and perhaps what is yet to come. You may notice how the wording of each intention affected the outcome.
The key to manifesting is letting go of the outcome. Instead focus on the feeling and sensation that you want to experience once this intention comes into your life. We can't manifest if we are holding on too tightly to the who, what, when, where, how, and if it will unfold. Surrender to the outcome because trying to control the process and outcome puts you into a state of lack and fear. Shift your mindset to trust and belief in the power of love and watch as you manifest your dreams into reality!
Pyrite, also known as "Fool's Gold" for its similarity to Gold, is a powerful crystal with a rich history of metaphysical properties and spiritual significance. It's one of our most recommended crystals for attracting abundance, prosperity, and wealth.
Because it can attract wealth and good fortune, it's a popular choice for those seeking financial success. Work with Pyrite when switching occupations (or desiring a pay raise), signing contracts, making large purchases, or for those who are working to get out of debt. Pyrite is also said to promote vitality, confidence, and willpower, helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Pyrite is known for its protective properties, creating a shield against negative energies and promoting a sense of harmony and balance. It is believed to stimulate the Solar Plexus Chakra, enhancing your self-esteem and confidence. It encourages us to see our own worth so we can shift to a positive mindset which in turn leads to attracting at a higher frequency. When we move through our day at a higher vibration and connected to Source we begin to attract the right people, ideas, and in our lives.
Because Pyrite is such a powerful manifestation tool, it is perfect to add into your crystal grids. Place Pyrite in your work space, in your hand bag, on your altar, in your hand during a mindful meditation practice, or into the heart of your home, for personal growth, protection, and to invite abundance into your life.
Pyrite, contains iron, giving it ferromagnetic properties and is known for its ability to absorb radiation. Be mindful when placing Pyrite near electronics, as it can be quite magnetic. This shimmering stone acts as a powerful energy shield, promoting abundance, vitality, and self-confidence. It’s perfect for boosting strength, courage, and a sense of assurance. Pyrite resonates with the Solar Plexus Chakra, enhancing confidence, inner power, self-worth, and inspires you to step boldly into your personal power! Whether you're seeking prosperity, protection, or spiritual growth, Pyrite can support you on your journey towards a more fulfilling and balanced life!
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac between December 22 and January 19. It is ruled by Saturn, the planet that governs structure, responsibility, and time, connected to the Earth element, and represented by a sea-goat, a mythical creature that is half fish and half goat.
Capricorns are typically known for their ambition, discipline, and reliability. At the heart of their nature is their ability to be grounded and pragmatic while embracing their dreams. They are extremely motivated, disciplined, and patient. Business executives, small business owners, architects, engineers, and other careers that require dedication and high functioning skills are perfect occupations for Capricorns. Sometimes these personality traits can lead to burn out, unhealthy boundaries, unfair demands on others, and stubbornness. As they are reserved and guarded, they can also struggle to be open with their emotions.
Crystals that resonate with Capricorn's energy are Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Fluorite, Hematite, and Garnet. Capricorn's can work with the vibration of these crystals to help them open up emotionally, balance work and play, and keep a flexible attitude.
Whether you're a Capricorn or have on in your life, appreciating their dedication and loyalty is key to understanding what makes this sign so special!
The first day of winter marks the longest night of the year and in turn begins the shift to longer hours of sunlight. It marks a pause here on earth where darkness begins to recede and the promise of light and renewal begins. This seasonal change can in turn be reflected in our own journey as we pause in the stillness for self-reflection and renewal. We are reminded to find peace and beauty in the balance of light and dark.
One of our favorite ways to honor and tap into the solstice energy is with a crystal grid. Setting intentions and creating a grid with crystals and other natural elements in a geometric pattern bring your dreams and goals into reality. A grid can be built for any intention. Capture the energy of the Winter Solstice for intentions of joy, abundance, and gratitude as we move into a new season and the new year. Check out our previous blog post for more information on building and activating your grid.
Crystals that we recommend to work with the energy of the Winter Solstice.
Utilize seasonal offerings from Mother Nature to incorporate into your grid such as pine cones, acorns, or dried leaves to ground the grid into the Earth's magnetic energy. Tap into your creativity and be guided by your intuition as you build your grid!
Honor this special day as you are reminded of the inner light in yourself and others and how we are always guided by Divine Source even when we move through periods of darkness.
The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol that transcends cultures and religions, representing the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. This ancient and universal symbol reminds us of our inner power, our ability to positively affect the lives of others, and of our connection to Mother Earth.
In different cultures the Tree of Life symbolizes different aspects of existence. In Norse mythology, it is known as Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree that spans across all nine worlds. In Celtic culture, it represents the connection between the physical and the spiritual worlds and the cycles of life and death. In Buddhism, the Bodhi tree, a sacred fig tree, symbolizes enlightenment.
The Tree of Life is believed to bring balance, harmony, and wisdom to those who connect with its energy. It is said to promote growth, strength, and resilience, much like a tree that withstands the changing seasons.
Essential oils are oils extracted from plants and their parts, such as wood, leaves, grasses, roots, and flowers. They can be used in aromatherapy, diffused, or applied to your skin. Some oils that resonate and capture the essence of the connectivity of trees are Fir Needle (needles), Cedarwood (wood), White Pine (needles), and Tea Tree (leaves).
The Tree of Life can align and support positive energy flow to our Root Chakra. When our Root Chakra is not aligned and not balanced, we may experience feelings of nervousness, fear, lack of motivation, and disconnected.
Crystals that are often associated with the Tree of Life symbol include Petrified Wood, Amber, and Moss Agate. They resonate with strength, honor our connection to Mother Earth, and bring balance into our lives.
The symbolism of the Tree of Life remains a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the cyclical nature of existence. Embrace the wisdom and energy of the Tree of Life to cultivate growth, balance, and spiritual enlightenment in your life!
As the holiday season approaches, stress levels begin to rise with the hustle and bustle and we feel a need for balance and peace in our lives. One way to promote self-care is incorporating essential oils into your daily routine. Historically, these oils have been used for their various therapeutic benefits, including stress relief and supporting the immune system. Here are our favorite ways to use essential oils during this season.
Stress Relief
Essential oils can be used to bring in positive emotions, diffuse stress, and calm nerves. Use them in diffusers, sprays, apply to the skin with a carrier oil, or apply to lava bead bracelets. Bergamot, Lavender, Cedarwood, and Clary Sage are oils that support our emotions, relieve anxious feelings, and help us get restful sleep.
Bath Soaks
Salts, such as Himalayan Sea Salt and Epsom salt, help detox, remove stagnant energy, and relax your body and mind. The most effective way to incorporate these minerals is using them during a bath. Combining the salts with essential oils can be energetically cleansing as well. A warm bath soak can help detox from overindulgence, promote restful sleep, or support the body if recovering from an illness.
Immune Support
Essential oils such as Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, and citrus oils, such as Sweet Orange and Lemon, are natural antimicrobials, antibacterials, and promote immune support. Use these protective oils in a room diffuser or spray during cold and flu season, to maintain a healthy immune system or when recovering from an illness.
Improve Mood
The shortened daylight hours and cloudy days of winter can make us feel unmotivated and dampen our spirits. Peppermint, Lemon, and Sweet Orange are some oils that naturally invoke positivity, hope, and joy. They also deodorize and freshen our space. Diffusing or applying these oils to our skin with a carrier oil in the morning can set the tone for an uplifting day ahead. Take care with citrus oils as they are phototoxic and can burn the skin when exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Grounding
If you're experiencing feelings of hopelessness, nervousness, or fear, grounding may help to center and balance your emotions. Grounding may also decrease your cortisol levels which can positively affect your body, mind, and spirit. Some oils that offer us strength and connect us to Mother Earth are Fir Needle, Cedarwood, and our Three Feathers Apothecary blends such as Rooted and Winter. They can be diluted with a carrier oil and massaged into the bottom of your feet before bedtime for deep, restful sleep.
Archangel Raguel is known as the angel of justice and harmony. His name means "Friend of God," and he is often called upon to bring peace and order to chaotic situations. Raguel is believed to help resolve conflicts, promote fairness, and restore balance in relationships. He is believed to help individuals find resolution in disputes, whether it be in personal relationships or larger conflicts. He works behind the scenes as the peacemaker, his Divine energy bringing in empathy and mutual respect.
Archangel Raguel is associated with the color pale blue and the number 6. He doesn't resonate with a particular element but can wield power between all of them: air, fire, earth, and water. He has been known to use the elemental properties of snow and ice as they cool down heated emotions and help us to see with clarity. If you notice the number 6 in repeated sequences or the color pale blue is often in your awareness, Archangel Raguel may be making his presence known.
Connecting with Archangel Raguel can be done through Meditation or simply calling upon him for guidance when seeking peace and resolution in your life. Crystals such as Aquamarine, Larimar, Amazonite, and Kunzite can connect with his energy to amplify clarity and help you speak your truth.
Archangel Raguel is a powerful and benevolent angel who can help bring justice, harmony, and balance into your life. By opening yourself up to his energy, you may find the clarity and resolution you seek. Remember, you are never alone, and the Archangels are always ready to assist you on your spiritual journey.
