Diets aren’t all about what we put in our mouths…

What about our mental diets? Have you ever stopped and pondered over what kind of thoughts we are ‘digesting’ day in and day out? 

Well lately I have and I’m realizing, more than ever, how much trash we tell ourselves! It’s unbelievable the endless judgements and criticisms that we impose on ourselves. 

This is (in a way) the equivalent of eating a mostly fast food diet. It has no value, no benefit, and no room for growing in a healthy way. 

So then I ask—why do we repeatedly do this? 

Because we don’t pay attention to it in a clear way. Our awareness is not present when we feed ourselves mental chatter that is garbage. We are merely carelessly binging on these junk food thoughts since we are used to it. 

If we want different then we have to move different. And if we want to feel better then we have to think better. 

Try it. Pay attention. Catch yourself when you’re thinking trash. Just recognize it and acknowledge that it’s not your actual truth. Then forgive yourself and smile. 😊 literally. 

This seemingly simple mental exercise is HUGE. It encompasses three essential fundamentals to any spiritual journey:

✨AWARENESS 

✨AUTHENTIC ACTION 

✨WISDOM 

And just the simple act of smiling is altering! It releases endorphins in the brain that make us feel good, shifts energies up, and can literally change our moods, even when we’re in a challenging place.  I didn’t believe it fully, tbh, but then I started trying it regularly... and, well, I was surprised to find I was wrong in my skepticism!

And I’m glad I was. It’s easy enough and another shimmering little tool in my witch’s toolbox 😁🧙‍♀️ xo 

Crystal of the Week ~ Nuummite

Perhaps now more than usual,  I’m feeling the pull towards a little extra protective intention on the regular! (Anyone else?)

So I wanted to share about one of the crystals that I find to be very effective for protecting ourselves 🖤

Nuummite has a clear and strong history as a powerful protection stone that can help to shield us from negative energy, black magic, evil energies/spirits, and curses/spells. This stone can replenish one’s aura with a purifying energy that will help clear one of any negative vibrations that may be attached to one’s etheric body. We recommend carrying a piece of Nuummite on you when you’re exposed to an uncomfortable environment or surrounded by toxic individuals. This mineral will keep your energy protected and unaffected as you go about your daily life without the fear of being exposed to constant negativity. 

Additionally, Nuummite assists in bringing the spiritual and physical realms together, providing a channel for higher knowledge and transformation. This stone can also help unlock one’s third eye and activate your own special intuitive abilities. Psychic vision of one’s past lives, as well as messages from angels and spirit guides may come through to you when working with nuummite. 

As an interesting side note…This mineral could hold a key to many of Earth’s secrets, as well as the life that may have once existed on this planet. 

For an extra-powerful combination of shielding and clearing/hex-breaking energy, check out this duo of nuummite and smokey citrine in my Etsy store!

I can’t recommend this stone enough! If it’s not one you’re familiar with, it’s well worth your time 😍🖤💎 xo 

Crystal of the Week~Lapis Lazuli

During times when I desire to work with and on my intuitive abilities...

...I often think of Lapis. 

Lapis Lazuli is renowned for its incredible abilities to increase our psychic abilities. Its mystical usage dates back 1000’s of years with the Egyptian culture who strongly recognized its extraordinary metaphysical power. 

When concerning spiritual enlightenment, it all starts within. Lapis Lazuli helps us go deep within our souls to awaken our path and divine purpose. You will be amazed how this crystal illuminates the spirit. 

Lapis works well for calming the mind and opening the ways to higher consciousness. It enables you to keep your feet on the ground and be centered yet still allows for potent spiritual journeying. 

Hold or wear during any meditation or astral work to promote deep spiritual experiences and connection to Guides, Ancestors, and Angels. 

The tranquil blue Lapis is food for the soul and with all the celestial activity lately, it’s a good one to explore!
