I really enjoyed making this Celtic Moon Phase Mala last night. This Mala reflects the inward journey that we all take in our Meditations. The path to understanding so we can grow with each deepening breath. 📿This Mala helps to protect you on this journey. The Black Tourmaline inside the Quartz shields your astral body and promotes positive energy. The Quartz amplifies those aspects and purifies your being to aid in the healing process. 🙏🕉 In the creation of this Mala I had to perfectly plan the beads so there is this ombré effect. There are 108 beads, each individually knotted. The main Guru beads are gorgeous Himalayan Quartz points too. In the center is a beautiful pewter, Celtic, Triskelion Shield. –🌛🌝🌜If you would like to use this beautiful tool in your meditations, it is for sale for $65+shipping. Just send me a message!

Solar Eclipse Water 🌞🌚

Solar Eclipse water can be used for matters involving transformation, rebirth, change, renewal, reflection, shadow work, spirit work, cursing, and binding.

Items: 

Clean, clear container 

Water (the source doesn’t matter) 

Optional: a sigil or statement of intent written on paper

Instructions: 

On the day of the solar eclipse (August 21st), fill your container with water and set outside or in your windowsill before the peak of the eclipse (the time will depend on your location) 

Program the jar to absorb energy from the eclipse - you can use visualization to accomplish this, or set the jar on top of the sigil/statement I mentioned above

Remove the jar before the eclipse ends and store in a cool, dark place

Notes on the Fourth Chakra

The Sanskrit name for the 4th chakra is “Anahata.” This word means “unstruck” or “stillness.” This seems to imply that deep beneath our brokenness and pain, wholeness abides.

The 4th chakra is located in our heart center. It governs our intuition and love. It is also known as the heart chakra.

Glands/organs/parts of the body associated with the 4th chakra:

Thymus, heart, lungs, chest, arms, breasts

The primary color for the 4th chakra is green and the secondary color is pink.

The element for the 4th chakra is air. Pranayama practice helps to balance this chakra.

The sense for the 4th chakra is touch, feeling, clairsentient.

The emotion of the heart chakra is compassion and joy. The 4th chakra feels the suffering of others.

The foods for this chakra are air, vegetables (especially green ones), and love.

When the 4th chakra is deficient, you may experience feelings of shyness and loneliness, an inability to forgive or a lack of empathy. Physical conditions can include shallow breathing, asthma, and some lung diseases.

When the 4th chakra is excessive one may experience co-dependency, possessiveness, jealousy, heart problems and high blood pressure.

In yoga, poses that stimulate the 4th chakra are backward bends (anything that opens the chest). A powerful way to energize this chakra is to love ourselves and others.
