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!

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 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.

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!

Air, one of the four classical elements of nature, holds a significant place in various belief systems and philosophies. It is associated with qualities such as movement, communication, and intelligence. In ancient Greek philosophy, Air was connected to the concept of spirit and the life force that animates living beings.
