4 Ways To Raise Your Vibration Every Day
I thought I would write about a few ways that you could raise your vibration on a daily basis. These are fairly quick methods and will help you when you are feeling a little down, or off.
1. Meditate for 15 minutes. Meditation will help you release any dense emotions you are holding onto and bring you back into balance. Just this alone will raise your vibration.
2. Go outside for 10 minutes and connect with nature. Even if you are at work and all you have around you is a parking lot, you can do this. Go outside and look up at the sky. Focus on what the sky looks like. The colour, shape of any clouds, where is the sun. Feel the sun if it is out that day. Feel the air and temperature. Give thanks and gratitude for your surroundings.
3. Make a list of things you are grateful for. Pick 5 areas in your life and start to make a list of things you love about them. Focus on loved ones, pets, yourself, your job, your car, your house, friends, food you love to eat. Anything that brings in joy to your life.
4. Go outside and thank the Universe (or heaven..or whatever name you have for it) for the the spirits that are focused on you, helping, encouraging and uplifting you. Acknowledge them and give them gratitude every moment no matter what you are doing, where you are or who you are with. Do this every day.
Why We Sometimes Manifest Accidents in Our Lives
This video I am posting below is a great video on how we create and co-create the things in our lives. We are responsible for EVERYTHING that happens in our lives.
Five years ago I co-created 2 car accidents in my life, within a 3 month period. At the time, it was very stressful and I didn’t understand why this “happened” to me. I had injuries, chronic pain and felt much anger because of these events. I learned much of what Abraham is speaking about here on how we create events in our lives that match our thoughts and vibrations.
Looking back on these 2 events, I can tell you that they were the best things to happen to me. My life completely changed, for the better. I am so grateful and thankful that I had those accidents.
In a future post, I’ll write about how I’m manifesting what I want in my life nowadays without the need for such drastic measures. At that time in my life I wasn’t quite aligned with who I was, so the Universe had to take more drastic measures to get my attention.
Hope you enjoy this video.

How To Get Better At Grounding Yourself Without Spending Hours In Practice
Grounding the energy in our bodies is something that should be done on a regular basis. By regular, this could be several times a day depending on your energy and how you react to things. The more we ground our energy, the easier it gets to do it and the frequency in which we have to ground can become less and less. We can relieve stress, anxiety, dizziness, and become more calm, centered and focused with grounding.
One of my favorite ways to ground my energy is to bring my focus to my feet. I become aware of my feet and allow my energy to flow down to my feet. Often when I am meditating I find myself floating out of my body, and this is a really quick way to get back into your body and feel centered. It wasn’t easy to do this at first, but with practice I can ground my energy and be centered within seconds.
If you are new to grounding, a really great and simple way to ground your energy is through visualization. There are many different ways to visualize yourself grounding your energy. What worked best for me was to visualize a ball of energy at the base of my neck. It can be any colour you like. I would then send that ball of energy down my spine and once I hit the base of my spine (Root Chakra) I would shift it into a cord and continue moving downward from the base of my spine towards the ground.
Once I reached the ground I then shifted the cord into roots and allowed the roots to permeate the earth and go deep into the ground. At that point I would focus my attention up to my Crown, and bring white light in through my crown and travel down through the same path as I started until I reached the bottom of the roots. This was great for me. It took a few minutes to do, but also became faster to do each time I practiced it.
It’s great to try out a few visualizations, and then find what works best for you. You can even take bits from different types and create your own. What’s important is to feel centered and balanced at the end.

3 Ways To Activate Your Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye can sometimes be a tricky chakra to open up. Often it is sluggish and takes practice to get things moving. If you are finding that you are having trouble with opening up or activating your Third Eye Chakra, I have a few ideas that may help you.
Before I go into the list of how’s, we may want to ask ourselves why we want to open up this Chakra. Setting intentions are a great way to start with opening up this Chakra. Do we want to tap into a heightened sense of awareness? Or perhaps to practice lucid dreaming? Maybe you would like to tap into your intuition more to help you with everyday life. Whatever your reason is, it is a great idea to get clear on it and set it before you start.
Meditation is where it’s at. Start with setting aside 10 minutes everyday to just sit and focus on your breathing. Allow yourself to practice being in the moment. It’s important to learn how to quiet your mind so that you can tap into the things your aren’t sensing, seeing or hearing. Once you have practiced focusing on your breathing and ensuring that you are taking in deep calming breaths, start to visualize clearing out your Third Eye Chakra. You can do this by bringing white light in through your crown and allow it to envelope the Third Eye, or you can visualize a hallway and walk towards a door that opens up to bright white light. Play around with this and see what feels best for you. Balancing your other chakras within your meditation will also help you to open up that Third Eye Chakra.
Secondly, I would look at detoxing your body. Water intake is important here. Make sure you are drinking enough water and that the PH of your water is at a minimum of 7. A very simple way of bringing up the water PH level is to add lemon to it. Most tap water or bottled water is sitting at a level of 5-7 PH. Removing fluoride from your body is important too. This is known to help de-calcify the Pineal Gland, which is associated with the Third Eye Chakra. Look at switching your toothpaste to a natural one and find out if there is fluoride in your water. If so, you will want to get a filtration system that takes this out. Lastly, look at increasing your vegetable intake. I’m talking about your greens…not carrots or corn or peas. Leafy greens and any green veggie. This is going to help detox and unclog that Chakra.
The third tip I have for you is to use a crystal to help open up that Third Eye Chakra. When I first started working on opening up my Third Eye I used Fluorite, Moonstone and Selenite. These are still my favorite go to stones if I want a boost in that Chakra. You can also try Amethyst or Sodalite. A sure way to tell if that stone is working is if you start to feel tingling or a shift (lightening) in denseness in your Third Eye.
There are many ways to open up that Chakra. These 3 are my favorite and what I found to be most successful.

Cleaning And Activating Your Crystals
One of the first things you should do when you bring a new crystal or piece of jewelry home is clean it. I don’t mean use soap and water or hydrogen peroxide. What I am referring to is cleansing any lingering energy that the crystal has picked up and is holding on to. This could be from the ground it came from or from anyone handling it until it reached you. You want to start off with a neutral stone so that you can get maximum benefits from it.
One of my favorite ways to clean the crystals I have is to use a piece of selenite. This is a great absorption stone and all you do is place your stone on the selenite for a minimum of 6 hours. Here are a few more ways to clear your crystals:
- Place your stones or jewelry outside in the sun or under a full moon for a minimum of 4 hours
- Place your pieces on the soil outside or on a houseplant for at least 24 hours
- Use a smudge stick (dried sage leaves) or Paulo Santo stick and hold your pieces over the burning smoke to cleanse them
- Lay your pieces over a piece of clear quartz for a minimum of 6 hour
Once you have cleansed your stones, you can then activate them. This is really quite a simple process. Decide what your intention is going to be when using the chosen piece of crystal or jewelry. Find a quiet place to sit and hold the piece in both hands. While breathing in the highest white light, visualize or think of the intention you have decided on. Do this for a few minutes. Once you have finished, your stones are ready to use!
Depending on how often and what you are using/wearing your stones for, the frequency of cleaning your stones will vary. Pay attention to how your crystals are feeling to you and when they start to feel heavy or muddy, that is when it is time to clean them. If you are using the piece on a daily basis, then look at a time frame from 10 – 21 days.

To Freak Or Not To Freak?
Last night we had a storm and heavy rain blow through our area. Rain is a common occurrence for us. The challenge with the rain this time was that the ground was partially frozen and was unable to absorb all the water. Because of this, we ended up with quite a bit of water coming into our home (in the basement) in the late evening.
We had been working on solving a minor leak in this area for a few months now, but it wasn’t anything major. Last night it seemed that the dam broke and we had water pouring in one area of our basement. My husband was working down there for about an hour and the atmosphere was quite tense. I went down to try and move some of our things around to make space for easier access. I was moving a few things to the other side of the basement when I noticed a pool of water coming in from that area too! Talk about adding to a stressful situation, right? So I called Paul over and showed him, and he immediately went to work on that problem. I took over for him in the other area where he was before.
As I’m wringing out the towels and soaking up the water on the floor I could feel myself becoming anxious and stressed. Anyone would be, right? In that moment of awareness of what I was feeling in my body, I had a decision to make. I could decide to allow the stress and anxiety to grow or I could trust that everything was going to be fine and just relax. I could just focus on the task at hand, which was soaking up the water and wringing out the towels into a bucket.
I chose to relax. I grounded my energy and just focused on the task at hand. I worked on calming my husband down, told him things were going to be fine. What’s funny about this, is that Paul is usually very calm and balanced. Last night he decided to allow the situation to get to him a little. I could have chosen to participate with him and get angry and frustrated, rather I decided to stay calm and diffuse the situation.
When things were a little more under control, we talked and made a plan of who we could call for help in the morning. This is all we could do at this point in time. We were handling the water coming in at that point. There wasn’t anything left to do. We could choose to get angry, frustrated or sit in fear at the unknown. But why? I learned a long time ago that everything is fixable…so it was just a matter of time.
We always have a choice on how to react to the situations presented to us. All of them. Some are easier than others. It’s about remembering what energy you want to create within and around you.
How will you decide to contribute to situations presented to you?
Using Crystals with your Chakras
Trying to figure out which crystals/stones to use to help open, balance or boost chakra power can be overwhelming when first starting out. There are so many different options to choose from.
I found this beginners guide from energymuse.com that can help you pair up a crystal to the chakra you are working on. Choose one of the stones that best resonates with you and hold it in your hand or place it on the chakra when meditating. Make sure you clear/program the stone before you use it.

Qabalah Solid Copper Jupiter House Talisman
Something I recommend to many of my clients for house protection is this Qabalah Solid Copper Jupiter House Talisman. I just love it!
My husband found this talisman online a few years back and I was a little skeptical at first about it. I really wondered if it worked as protection for the house. Well, over the years I can tell you that the things that I have seen have made me a believer!
When we first got it home Paul installed it and the first thing that happened was that it drained the batteries from the smoke detectors and we had to replace the batteries. What’s funny about this, is that over the years of recommending this to others, this has also happened to them as well! I’m not sure why this happens…but it does!
Being a medium, I can see many different forms of spirit. One thing I noticed right away was that when I had clients come to the home for appointments, there were certain spirits that wouldn’t come into the home. They would be outside. The client would come in, but the spirit wouldn’t follow. I didn’t clue in right away as to what was happening.
It wasn’t until I had an appointment with a client who had an attachment with a spirit that was very unpleasant. The spirit showed up before the client did, and let’s just say it wasn’t a very friendly spirit. I took notice of this spirit, who stood outside the house in the yard. The client came for their appointment, and I spoke of this entity to them. The client was familiar with what I was talking about and we spoke of different ways to look at clearing the spirit and empowerment for them. Something I noticed with this spirit that was also different than the others that waited outside was that it WANTED to come inside but couldn’t seem to. There was a desire to enter the house, where as in the past I hadn’t noticed that desire.
This is what made me realize that it was the talisman that was keeping it out! I was a true believer from that point on. I’ve had many other appointments where spirit that isn’t aligned with light hasn’t come into the home. This just solidifies for me that this talisman continues to work.
If you are looking for house protection, then I highly recommend you consider getting one of these talismans. Qabalah Solid Copper Jupiter House Talisman. They ship from the UK and take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to get to you. It’s a great investment in my opinion.
