Meditation(s)
Obsidian Relational-Offense Release Affirmation: I choose to release any hard feelings I may be harboring. I open myself to see clearly the motivations on all sides – but not so that I may get stuck there, but rather so I can move through into a place of love and peace. So I choose to forgive. I choose to heal. I choose love. And I trust the rest to fall into place exactly as it should. And I trust that I will have grace and stability regardless of what that looks like. All is and will be well.

Specimen(s) Specifics and Metaphysical Properties. FYI the meanings/uses/properties I list below are not exhaustive, but rather identify the ones I’ve come into agreement with for my particular piece(s). Also I sometimes note specific crystal formations and the properties connected to them, the details of which can be found in @IrisUnique’s fabulous free online Encyclopedia of Crystal Formations and she has wonderful classes in her Crystal Formation School. And also just to note, the stunning red root background my pieces are typically photographed on is from @BurlwoodBeauty by way of the @SoundShamaness.

Background sound: a piece from Zen Music or a scene from the Calm App – @calm (which I highly recommend), and periodically you may also hear me using my light language as I’m in the meditation. This is simply a connection and flow from Spirit, and sometimes it’s an impartation for the viewer to receive (should they choose to).
Background ambiance: burning Palo Santo smoke. Properties: purifying, energy cleansing, inspiring creativity, encourages sense of well-being, fosters heightened spiritual connectivity, cultivates healing, helps block negative energy
