I need help so I can return to school. Any advice on where to start?
Sunstone - LEADERSHIP
Citrine - MANIFESTATION
Clear Quartz - CLARITY
There is a sense here of a great power behind you which is coiled like a serpent ready to aim itself at your manifestations and propel your dreams to come true. However, it is unable to spring into action at present because there is either some doubt on your part or on the part of someone you have told/confided in about this - and/or because for some reason, the universe is unsure what you want in your heart of hearts. Have you flitted in thought between two potential career paths, or is there a potential conflict between you going to school and something else in your life? This must all be stripped down and clarified before you can move forward. Meditating with clear quartz would be beneficial here.
The key to this is plenty of knowledge and information. You need to begin by researching what it is you want to do. First of all, the career paths. Read about them, ask advice from people who have taken that career path or subject in school, or see a careers counsellor. Get your hands on books or documentaries to watch about it. Arm yourself with as much information as possible. Once you start investing your time in researching one particular path, the universe will take the cue that this is what you wish to manifest. Second of all, the actual schooling aspects. Look into the program you would need to do at every possible school. This is all about finding the best option for you, that will provide some of the answers in terms of any possible conflicts with your life as wife and mother. Perhaps there are parts of the schooling you can do very locally, or somewhere with an attached creche/daycare; perhaps there are parts of it you can do via distance learning. Look into scholarships, bursaries and financial support schemes because I have a definite feeling there will be something out there for you that will enable you monetarily to take the first steps on your path - otherwise citrine wouldn't be hanging around you! Carrying citrine on your purse, on your person or having a large chunk of it in a prominent place in your living space will attract this abundance to you.
The leadership card has probably already clued you into the fact that you must take the lead on this: it's something that won't fall into your lap. Carry sunstone to give you courage to do this. Neither will you have to fight for it necessarily, but you will need to present your research to someone to show how viable an option it is, and think out your arguments for it carefully. You will also need to take the initiative yourself in terms of applications and organising references. I feel that 2013 will be the year for this and that by then you will have done enough preparation to manifest it for the highest good.
Affirmation: I co-create in harmony with the Divine Will.
I would to be one of your piggies and take a general. Thanks so much hun.
Bloodstone - COURAGE
Zincite - CREATION
Azurite - INSIGHT
Something is holding you back. It could be an old fear, trauma, or something or someone that attacked your confidence in the past. Whatever it is, it has instilled a deep-rooted fear inside you which you still carry and apply to most things in your life. You may not even recognise this anymore, as it is so much in your subconscious. You may feel "stuck", done down, unable to move forward, or undeserving of things that try to manifest in your life. As a consequence, you are probably also fearful of loss or change, but in order to fulfil your destiny and your heart's desire, this really must be addressed.
Change is needed in the work-life balance area of your life. Monetary concerns probably play a part in you being unable to "let go". However, you must learn to trust the universe again - if you follow your heart, you will be provided for. That in itself would be a good mantra or affirmation for you. Try to take some leaps of faith and begin to set the wheels in motion for those changes that scare you. Small steps at first will allow something to come to light that you have been missing, or that someone has been hiding from you, which will give you a great sense of reassurance and relief. Carrying a piece of bloodstone for courage and azurite for insight will help you with this. You are also being prompted to devote far more time to play. Your inner child will heal automatically if you take time to play and be creative. Play may mean different things as an adult - arts and crafts, sport and exercise, time outdoors in nature, taking up a hobby or class, joining a women's or mom's support group. However it could equally or also mean taking more time to enjoy your kids and really play with them. I do feel that an important part of your purpose is being a mom, not only as a role model for your children but their instigator for play, joy, laughter, smiles, surprises and creativity. Give yourself permission to do this, because it will lead all of them as adults to great things and happy lives. Less stress will also decrease your fear that you are going to lose your children - particularly in the sense of missing out on their key milestones, their growing up, or them growing apart from you too soon. This is all about taking time to feel the sun on your back and marvel at the wonders and the pretty things in our world. This is where zincite comes in - I feel you don't necessarily need the crystal itself, though you may want to get one - but I will give you the zincite affirmation to use.
I would like to finish up by saying, the first thing to strike me on seeing your cards was that if you need a little extra support, Archangel Uriel would be able to help you with your current life themes. Archangel Uriel is the archangel of earthly manifestation, of creation, and of action. If you have asked angels for help previously to bring something into being, I feel he was instrumental in this. You can invoke Uriel simply by calling his name, by carrying his stone, azurite, or by saying his fiat - Uriel, make me a channel of your peace! 3x a day. I also feel that red is a big healing colour for you right now and wearing or decorating with red will boost your energy, mood and sense of power.
Affirmation: I follow my joy to abundance, prosperity and fulfilment.
Ill be a guinea...you know Im always up for it LOL.
My question is about learning more about herbs and how to best use them. Im debating about whether to do online courses or just study through books and testing on my own but Im not sure what the best course would be for me to go to be the best I can be and help others along the way.
This is such an interesting question. Thank you for that!
Calcite - SPONTANEITY
Chlorite - HEALING
FIRE
One thing is certain and that is taking this path of learning about herbs and utilising them for the highest good will be a powerful and personal transformative experience for you. To prepare for doing it, you must take a good look at your life at present and release that which no longer serves you. This is bound up in creating time for yourself in your life and remembering that in taking a break from your "duties" you are not letting anyone down but rather rejuvenating yourself so you can serve them better as well as yourself. However I also feel it's time to look at material possessions. I feel there are things which could be sold on to enable you to gather together the funds to start this project. It has also come up again in these cards that the universe wishes to affirm to you that YOU ARE LOVED and YOU DESERVE TO MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS. And now is the time to begin.
Spontaneity is the key word for you here. You asked whether you should take a course or embark on self-learning. The answer to this may be a mixture, but primarily I would not feel a course that was extremely structured or prescriptive to be right for you. Intuition needs to lead this journey and I would start with some self-learning. A course may be beneficial later, but I see this more in terms of an informal learning group, or someone experienced mentoring you either in person or via the internet or correspondence. One-off workshops may also contribute. You need to look out for chance meetings, synchronicities and hints of opportunities once you have embarked on your journey. I believe that once you have made a start, these will present one after another and it will be a truly magical journey. The other reason I feel that this should be self-led learning is because it will be a healing experience for you. You're being called to try out herbal techniques, after thorough research, because it is a path to YOUR healing - particularly of emotional trauma, but I also feel there is a slight physical issue which can be set into balance this way. I picture you walking out in nature by yourself or with the kids, with a basket, gathering flowers and herbs to take home and use. This ought to become a regular part of your routine by the conclusion of your journey.
I feel you will find the book that will spark off this chain of events second-hand - either at a book fair, bring and buy sale, garage sale, fete or event, or in a second-hand book store - when you are at your most relaxed or happy - perhaps on holiday or on a day trip. Once you begin to read I see joy increasing in your life. You don't especially need to purchase calcite or chlorite in order to receive the full effects of their guidance, but do look them up online and have a look at some pictures of them to receive extra inspirations and intuitions.
Affirmation: I create each moment as an expression of my deepest joy.
To find your resolution, you need to ask yourself: Which choice would enable me to best serve the earth and humanity? Which choice would enable me to grow into a better and stronger person? This may not actually be the choice you WANT to take. It may involve forgoing the path of least resistance, or the path which you personally feel would be more enjoyable. You're at a bit of a crossroads in your life and it's time to take your destiny with both hands. This is about pinpointing what you can contribute to the world and to your community and taking steps towards that.
You are being guided that the choice which seems like harder work is probably the choice to take, because hard work is definitely on the cards for you, hence the self-discipline: but then this hard work will reap so many rewards in the long term, for you and those close to you, in terms of personal and financial fulfilment and allowing for experiences to help several people learn and grow. However change is also on the cards for you, so it may help to know that if your choice is between continuing on a similar path to the path you're on now, or starting off in an entirely new direction, it's the new direction which will be best for everyone in the long-term. I get a sense that this is a career/job/family life/occupation decision, and that one of your biggest concerns surrounding the decision is the feelings and needs of others around you. That's commendable, but do remember YOU are also a person who needs fulfilment and growth, and you are a better influence in others' lives when following the path which is right for YOU. Do also remember that considering others' needs should not come from a place of resentment or obligation. If you're potentially putting aside a seemingly more enjoyable path or choice for now, find peace with this by thinking out the benefits to yourself in the long term, and realising that it doesn't mean you're not going to get any chance to enjoy life or fulfil other dreams forever - there may just be another time in your life which is going to prove more auspicious for that choice.
To help you move forward and find peace with your ultimate decision, clarify with yourself your objectives, dreams and the support you will need in order to do it. Then set these out to the universe, and to the people around you, in no uncertain terms. Speaking your personal truth in this way will help align all the factors around you in your favour, and make it a smoother road. Getting support for your own needs will also help motivate you. Of the three crystals, I would seek out some fluorite: rainbow fluorite is wonderful for healing, and purple fluorite helps you tune into your higher guidance. A large piece of fluorite in your home would also bring harmony and balance to relationships. If your decision still sits uneasy with you, a piece of charoite to carry would be soothing, beneficial and keep you focused.
Affirmation: I express my personal truth, and step onto the path of the spiritual warrior.
I could be a piggy too. (I've always been ).
A general reading is good. But reassurance about my baby is always in my mind.
Also I would like to know what crystals are good for stress. That is my health issue, stress that triggers anxiety. Thank you.
Sugilite - DREAMS
Amazonite - PERSONAL TRUTH
Azeztulite - ALTERNATE REALITIES
The fact that you are an extremely spiritual person shows in these cards, which point to quite high vibrational stones, and this also tells me that for stress levels, meditation (with crystals if you wish) would significantly help. I am also feeling that astral travel or transcendental meditation would be particularly beneficial - perhaps a class or workshop is in order for you - it would make sense of some things for you and open you up to the higher realities of life which, entrenched in your daily routine, you sometimes feel cut off from. Sugilite for relaxation and a smooth path to your dreams, and amazonite for gentle healing and personal insights, would definitely be helpful. Other key crystals for warding off stress would be amethyst (relaxation, protection, universal healing), lepidolite (especially if you have sleep or insomnia issues), and black tourmaline (deflects away negative energies which come your way).
Let's talk about baby here because I know some reassurance is something you actually need for your healing. What came through in your three cards was, quite strongly, that DREAMS are the way in which, at present, reassurance comes to you from above. You're extraordinarily tuned in to other realms, and because you are not consciously meditating, dream messages are the only outlet the universe can use to deliver guidance. Any reassurance received in dreams should be believed 100%. However, I know from things you have told me before that this will also hold some fear for you and not reassure you entirely. (Diverting the messages to meditation, as per above, will help). So I pulled an extra two cards for you and asked for them to be specific to baby. The two cards that came were ruby - LIFE FORCE; and pyrite - MALE POWER. This tells me that this baby is physically strong and that this pregnancy should be healthy and complication-free. The male power aspect provides some guidance for you regarding being pro-active in terms of preventing past complications. At present, your energy is out of balance as it is almost too introspective, fluid, and female. Bring this into balance by harnessing your own male power. This includes grounding yourself by eating plenty of protein (meat comes to mind here) and iron. Pyrite and ruby are very male, grounding, powerful, life-force promoting crystals. Tiger iron would also help you, particularly in the run-up to birth. This also involves you being very factual, scientific and logical about the processes happening to your body, and trusting the medical professionals working with you.
I still feel, based on your three main cards, that this baby is the girl you so desperately wish for - it is YOU who needs to step into your male power to bolster yourself right now. You should also know that in order to bring about the life-affirming, positive, gentle birth experience you wish with all your heart for yourself and your baby, you will need to stand firm with your opinions and speak up for what you want in a calm but insistent manner. Don't feel like you're putting on people when communicating your wishes: you're being commanding, not demanding. Finally, you should know azeztulite is an extremely high vibrational stone, connected with the Mayan civilisation and the fourth-dimensional healing temple of Archangel Sandalphon. Looking into this culture and this archangel may bring forth many spiritual revelations to you. What a journey you and your rainbow baby are in for, Elise!
Affirmation: I perceive my reality in the light of the Divine.
Looks like you have your 7, but I'll gladly join in for a reading if you need one more.
Petrified wood - BEGINNINGS
Cuprite - FEMALE POWER
Selenite - HIGHER SELF
You are totally surrounded in earthy, female energies right now. I get a sense with these cards that you have never seen yourself as an "earth mother" type and that your pregnancy is bringing up all sorts of anxieties and fears of inadequacy in your mind. However, you do have this within you, and the reason you have never considered this before is rooted in past lives - it could be as simple as most of your previous incarnations being male, meaning that you feel unprepared to cope with childbirth or small babies! Now is the time to go introspective, do some thinking, and embrace your feminine side by reading women's literature and books about the birth process; doing things "with the girls" or joining a women's or mom's support group; and some good old-fashioned pampering certainly wouldn't go amiss!
You have more female power than you know, and you're being called upon to harness it now for the highest good of yourself, and your expanding family. It's time to reclaim time in your life to dedicate to motherhood and to me-time for yourself, to avoid the loss of identity or independence you secretly fear. Learning to find this balance is a big part of your life purpose. It's time to step up to the plate. This is where selenite can help you, and meditating with selenite can also bring forth past life dreams which might hold some answers for you. This is also a good time to immerse yourself in your ancestry and your family's wisdom, culture and history. The child coming to you now will be avidly interested in all of this and it will be important in forming their ideas about what they wish to do as an adult. It will also be a learning journey and subtly transformative for you, and bring you close to someone older in your family who you felt you'd drifted apart from. Female family member advice should also be heeded - with integrity of course - not the old wives' tales, but the genuine health and parenting advice which has been tried and tested by those who walked this path before you. Someone in your family felt the same way as you do right now while pregnant with a son. If you can cue into who that is and have a heart-to-heart chat, you'll feel so much lighter.
Finally, the new beginnings imminent in your life - and this pertains to more than just the new baby, by the way, at least one other thing is going to be a significant change - are leading to an exciting adventure which will take your life out of the ordinary and make you feel more fulfilled than ever before. Trust in the universe that the path marked out for you is good. Sooner or later, you will begin to realise that an old dream you shelved long ago is in fact a very real possibility and potentially within your reach before the end of this decade. Incidentally, cuprite and petrified wood are quite rare to get hold of, but I feel a rose quartz would be equally good for you in terms of bringing out your feminine side, balancing emotions and easing anxieties.
Affirmation: The roots of my experiences nourish me deeply.

Dear Sharron, thank you very much for the reading. I have been reading it over and over to sink in. But I wonder if you know of a reliable source where to get crystals. Or any insights on this direction.
Thank you again.
Id love to take some material possessions we have here and sell to put to good use in the areas I want to strengthen unfortunately they all belong to Dan and he'd kill me if I did that cuz they are precious to him. So stuff like that will have to wait til he passes.
However, Im hoping that in my wanderings my eyes will be open to books that will help me out beyond the books I have now.
Thank you much!
