Inviting the Faerie Folk into Your Life for Joy and Abundance

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday! Today, I'd like to talk about faeries and ways that you can invite their energies into your life and home. I have been working with faery energy a lot lately and have had a wonderful experience so I thought I'd share some tips with you. Before I tell you how to invite these playful energies in, I'd like to skim over some basic information about faeries. This post is just a starter so if you feel the need to do more research then please do so:

First and Foremost, BELIEVE: This seems like an obvious step but it's necessary. This is the key necessary to open the door to the world of the faeries.

Faeries Are Astral Beings: This is important to know when allowing these energies into your home or work space. Because faeries dwell in the astral realm, this means that they are not unconditionally loving such as angels. They do get annoyed and it is very possible to "piss them off".

You Must Respect Animals and the Environment:  Faeries are directly connected to nature and because of this, they are sensitive to mother earth. They do not like when people disrespect animals or abuse the earth. Take good care of God's creatures and they will respect you.

There Are Good AND Bad Faeries: Yes, these beings are subject to polarity, so there are good and bad faeries. Make sure you call upon the right energies and be specific about what you will and will not allow to come through. Even the kind faeries enjoy playing tricks out of love.

Know That Once You Invite Faeries in, You Will Begin to See or Hear Them:  When you begin to take steps to invite the faeries into your life, you will begin to see glimpses of them. They may appear during meditation, in your peripheral vision or as you turn your head. They are quick but you will see them scurry on by. If you are clairaudient, you might hear their childlike laughter.


Want to welcome faery energies into your life? Here is how you can start! 

Create a Space for the Faeries: Set aside a corner, table or even a room to set up an altar for the faeries. Make sure this place is clean! In this space you can place different items such as: 
- Gemstones: Rose Quartz, Garnet, Fluorite, Green Aventurine.
- Natural items such as branches, leaves, plants and rocks.
- Candles
- Artwork and statues
- Incense: Rose, Lavender, Jasmine
- Get creative! Add some glitter if you like.

This space can also be setup in your backyard

**If you need financial help creating the altar, you can ask the faerie folk for assistance. Tell them your intentions and that you'd like help setting up a space for them. This is how I created my altar ;)

Simply Call on the Faeries: If you want the faeries to come into your life, all you really need to do is ask. Ask for abundance, happiness or joy. Leave a little offering such as berries for them if you like. Remember to call upon loving faeries that will bring blessings, joy and prosperity to you. 

Go outside and Connect with Nature:  One of the best ways to connect with the faery realm is to be in nature more. They are elemental spirits that are in direct contact with nature. Go into the forest and ask the faeries to sit and meditate with you. As always, make sure you surround yourself in Divine white light for protection first.

Purchase a Faery Oracle Deck or Faery Art Book:  This is not a necessary step but I find it does help attract faery energies. I would highly recommend any one of Brian Froud's decks or art books. The Fairy Ring deck by Anna Franklin and Paul Mason is very powerful and definitely transmits elemental energies. Art is channeled information so I strongly believe faery energy is transferred into these pieces of art. 


I hope this has given you some helpful tips on how to work with the faeries. Peace and love to you all


Love and Ascension,

Practical Ways to Ground-When Visualization Is Not Enough

Hi everyone. Today, I'd like to touch on the topic of grounding. In the past, I made a post that explained how to ground your energy through visualization. Sometimes, however, this method just doesn't work well enough to ground your energy for a long period of time. See how you can ground your energy and feel grounded throughout the day:

1. Eat: I find this to be my most effective method for grounding my energy. Eating meat, protein or foods with fat can help to ground your energy and keep you grounded for a longer period of time. The energy of these foods is at a lower vibration than fruits and vegetables so they get the job done

2. Spend Time with Pets: The energy of animals is very grounding. If you'd like to feel more grounded and centered, spend some time with pets...whether they be yours or someone else's.

3. Get Outside: You must be in nature. This does not include running around outside and grocery shopping. You would need to take the time to actually sit in the park or near the water and relax with the intention of grounding your energy.

4. Clean Up: Cleaning the house is great for grounding your energy. In fact, any mundane task is good for grounding....cooking included. 


I hope these methods will help you to feel more grounded and centered. Merry Christmas everyone!!

Love and Ascension,

Open Your Heart- Why the Heart Is Important and Ways to Keep It Open

Hi everyone! Christmas is next week and I hope you're as excited as I am to spend time with loved ones and eat lots of good food. Today, my post will touch on the heart center. Through my experience as a spiritual student  and spiritual guide, I have noticed a connection between spiritual health, well being and the heart center. I want to help you understand how important the heart is for our livlihood as humans and as spiritual beings. Below I have listed some information on why the heart center is important to keep open:

Your Heart Is the Gateway to Your Soul Memory

Yes, the heart is the house in which your soul resides. Everything you have experienced in past lives or your present life, whether you remember it or not, is documented in the depths of your heart. This is the key to remembering why you came here, what purpose you serve and what will be the best direction for you to take. If you happen to be a Starseed or Earth angel, your memories can be accessed through here. My guides want me to also mention your Akashic Records and that it can be accessed through the heart flame.

Your Heart Knows the Truth

If you need to know the truth about any person or situation, this is where the answer lies. The Universe has given you all the answers and has stored them in your heart.This is connected with your psychic self. The heart is connected to your psychic centers, including the solar plexus, and they work together to give you information that will benefit you. The way you tap into this is to listen to your feelings. If something does not FEEL right, it definitely is not. If you feel compelled to go in a certain direction and it FEELS right, follow through with this feeling.

Your Angels and Guides Connect with You through Your Heart

While this isn't the only center used for Divine connection, this is one of the most important centers they choose to work with. You are connected with Divine love through your heart flame and they will send you their love through your heart.


The Heart is the Key to Your Life Purpose, Your Joy

One thing I feel has been a great detriment to our society, is not listening to our feelings when it comes to our careers. The priority for most people is to make money and make it fast, regardless of how it affects their health and well being. I'm here to tell you that when you follow your heart and listen to it's messages pertaining to what is right for your life, things will flow a lot easier. You have every right as a human being to live your truth and your joy, and your heart will take you there.

You Will Attract the Love You Deserve

If we want to attract the love we want and deserve in our lives, our hearts must stay open. At the same time, it is important to have boundaries and self love by stating what we will allow and not allow to accept for ourselves. Keep your heart open to attract love from yourself, the Universe and from others. 

You might be asking, "Well, how do I keep my heart open?" Here are some ways to do it:

Heal and Release

One mistake people make is they resist the soul's desire for healing. Trauma is a part of everyone's life as we've all had to go through experiences that caused a great deal of pain. The issue comes when you resist the pain. If you feel the need to cry, by all means do it. If you feel the need to vent or express your anger, please do it in a safe way and in a gentle environment. Whatever you do, don't resist the need to heal and release these emotions. What can happen if you dont, is the emotions will begin to fester and will cause problems in other areas of your life...until you decide to release it, this is how it will be. Love yourself enough to have mercy on your heart and allow it purge.

Tap into Your Joy

Do something you love doing, whether it be singing, dancing or working on a project. Engage in activities that cause you to open up your energy and feel vibrant. 

Do Cardio Exercise

From my experience and the experience of others, cardio exercise is excellent at removing heart blockages. Get creative with this as you don't want it to feel like a chore. 

Wear More Green

This is a very simple step to opening the heart. It is important that you do this with intention. "I wear this green blouse, bag or necklace with the intention of expanding my heart center so I may receive and give love in all ways"

Send Love to Yourself 

You can do this by putting your hand on your heart and stating positive affirmations. These can be affirmations of self love, self forgiveness, gratitude or understanding. Whatever theme you decide on, just make sure it's coming from a place of love and compassion. "I love you (your name). You are so wonderful in every way", " I forgive myself for not loving myself enough". Know that you are perfect in every way and take steps to show yourself that you believe this. 

Keep Heart Healing Stones with You- Rose Quartz, Morganite and Green Aventurine

These stones are excellent for keeping the heart center open and vibrant. I notice that Rose Quartz is great for self love, comfort and healing a broken heart. Morganite is a great stone for connecting you to Divine love. Green Aventurine is my personal favorite as it helps to heal the heart and remove blockages while also attracting abundance. Anything pink or green is great for the heart as green represents the heart chakra and pink represents the upper heart chakra.

Call on Archangel Raphael or Archangel Chamuel

These angels are wonderful for opening the heart, healing a broken heart and providing assistance with attracting love. All you have to do is simply call on them and ask for their help. Be specific! Tell them what you are feeling and what you wish to receive.


I really hope this information has given you a little insight into the heart center and ways to keep it open and receiving love. Until next time, have a safe and wonderful week everyone :)

Love and Ascension,

Increasing Your Intuition

Hi everyone. I hope everybody is enjoying their time preparing for Christmas. Today I'd like to touch on ways that you can increase your intuition. What many people don't understand is that intuition is a very natural thing. Some people are born with their abilities stronger than others (which is sometimes due to past lives) but everyone has basic intuitive skills that they can build upon. Here are some simple ways that you can increase your intuition and psychic abilities:

1. Believe: This is one of the most important steps to increasing your intuition. You must believe that you have intuitive abilities and also believe that you can strengthen them. Perhaps you've seen children's movies that emphasized the importance of "believing" so their dreams can come true or something of that nature. Well, I'm here to tell you that belief is indeed important. You believing opens up the gateway to abilities and opportunities that weren't possible for you before, simply because you brushed them off as "garbage".

2. Meditation: Meditation is the foundation of spiritual growth and enhancing your spirituality. People don't understand how important this step really is.What meditation does is it quiets the mind, releases unnecessary energy back into the universe and also allows your spirit to expand which increases your awareness. In order for you to hear your higher self or spiritual helpers, your mind must be quiet to a certain degree. It is vital that you understand, however, that meditation must become a routine. Meditating 5-10 minutes once a week will not increase your intuitive abilities. Devote 10 minutes everyday or every other day to meditation and build upon the frequency if you can. You will see an enormous difference in your intuition and spirituality overall.

3. Pay Attention: A very important step to increasing your intuition is paying attention to your body's signals. Many times, our intuition gives us signs through our physical bodies. There are different kinds of abilities including clairsentience, clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairaudience, clairgustance, etc. You can find details on these abilities in my blog entitled "Psychic Abilities- How to Recognize Them". The more you acknowledge your feelings, the more they will present themselves to you. Intuition is like a muscle that you have to train, so have patience with the process.

4. Eat More Indigo and Purple Foods: This would include blackberries, eggplants, grapes, etc. Eat these foods stating the intention aloud "I eat these foods with the intention of enhancing and increasing my intuition and psychic abilities". Truthfully, fresh vegetables overall will help to increase your vibration while also expanding your intuition. 

5. Work with Archangel Raziel and Archangel Uriel: Archangel Raziel is the Keeper of the Mysteries of God. He can help to increase clairvoyance, psychic abilities and also help you get in touch with spiritual knowledge. Archangel Uriel is "God's Light" and is known for giving signs and warnings to the people of Earth. He is typically associated with claircognizance. All you have to do is call on them and ask for their assistance.

6. Wear Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst or Clear Quartz: These gemstones have been said to increase psychic abilities and intuition. Lapis Lazuli, a very ancient stone, can help you tap into the truth of any situation. Of course you're not limited to these stones. There are many different gemstones that assist in enhancing intuition. See which ones work for you.

7. Listen to Binaural Beats: There are different frequencies of binaural beats that can help to strengthen your intuition. There are some specifically for your crown or third eye chakras and there are some suited for enhancing certain abilities such as clairaudience. This again requires routine. Listen to these frequencies for about 30 minutes a day to see a difference. You do not have to sit down and do nothing while listening to them but it might be best to so you can catch any intuitive impressions you may receive.

8. Purchase a Divination or Psychic Development Oil:  There are many oils on the market today made specifically for increasing intuition. If you want to start simple, you can purchase a Frankincense and Myrrh oil or Eucalyptus Oil. These are great for opening the crown and third eye chakras.

9. Keep Your Energy Cleansed and Your Vibration High:  Keeping your energy cleansed and your vibration high will help to increase your intuitive abilities because you will become in touch with higher realms. I give tips on cleansing your energy in my post called "How to Cleanse Your Energy."

10. Trust: The final step is so important to increasing your intuition and it's closely related to the first step. Trust all the messages you receive from the Divine. What you can do to build your trust is journaling. Write down all the impressions you receive and let them go. In time, you will see how the messages unfold.


I hope these tips will help you to increase your intuition. The tips I have provided are the most simple and inexpensive ways to do so. If you are seriously considering a career that involves doing readings, look into becoming a Reiki Practitioner or receive a Psychic Attunement from a spiritual teacher. Have a great day :)

Love and Ascension,

How to Manifest Financial Abundance

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Today I want to touch on ways to manifest financial abundance. Manifesting money is not just about working, like many people believe. Your mind must be in the correct state to manifest that which you desire. Below I've listed some tips that have worked for me and still work for me. Try them and see if they work for you as well :)

1. Prayer: We often see the word prayer and believe this is synonymous with begging. Prayer is simply setting an intention and releasing it to God and the Universe. As a matter of fact, begging will only create a blockage in manifesting abundance because it is based in the emotion of worry, fear, anxiety, etc. Pray when you are relaxed (perhaps after meditation) and affirm that your prayers will be answered. Words and feelings carry vibration so keep them positive and carefree. Keep in mind that prayers are not always answered in the way we'd expect so be open to all solutions to your problems or concerns.

2. Let Go: When you set an intention or say a prayer to receive money, let go of this intention. Once you state an intention, the universe "grabs a hold of it" and starts working on it. Worrying and picking at the intention will only serve to create a blockage in your energy. Set your intention, allow the universe to work it out, then be open to receiving solutions and the answer to your prayers.

3. Visualization: Visualization is an important step when it comes to manifesting anything that you desire. See yourself in a state of abundance and feel how you would feel if you received the money that you want. When you visualize yourself receiving money, make it a believable amount..start small if you need to. You need to believe in your visualization in order for it to work. You'll know if you believe in your visualization or not based on how you feel. Do you feel relaxed? Heavy? Unsure? You should always feel at ease with what you're visualizing.

4. Do Something You Love: Yes, feeling joy is a great way to manifest money. Feeling happy and joyous opens up your energy and allows it to receive more of the same. This goes for work and career as well. I know times are tough, but if you find you're at a crossroads as to what to do in terms of your career, choose that which brings you joy. That which brings you joy is part of your life purpose. When you follow your life purpose, you will begin to attract the money and assistance needed to support you on your journey.

5. Wear Green Aventurine, Citrine or Tiger's Eye gemstones: These stones have been said to bring forth abundance and prosperity. Sit with each stone to see which one resonates with your energy before purchasing. There are many other stones that help attract financial abundance, so see which ones you feel drawn to.

6. Call on the Angels/Deities of Prosperity: Angels and deities known to bring prosperity are Archangel Ariel, Archangel Raphael (associated with healing and abundance), Goddess Abundantia, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Green Tara. Build a relationship with the angels and deities you feel drawn to.

7. Express Gratitude: This is the 7th tip but by far one of the most important steps you can take to manifest financial abundance. Always be grateful for what it is you already have. It can be difficult to do this if we're in a state of turmoil, but know that expressing gratitude will always attract more things to be grateful for. If you find it hard to express gratitude about your financial situation, find something else to be grateful for. Notice your feelings once you express gratitude...it opens your heart and your spirit, which is the key to receiving wealth in all it's forms.

8. Work with the Phases of the Moon: On a more physical level, working with the moon phases has given myself and others wonderful results with manifesting money. This will be an abundance/prosperity ritual done on the waxing moon. I prefer to do this on the Thursday before the moon becomes completely full. You'll need a green candle (white works well also if you charge it with intention), Money Drawing Oil or Patchouli Oil, a green aventurine gemstone and a clear quartz point. Anoint the candle with the oil while also stating your intention aloud and focusing on the desired results (visualization is very important here!). Call in Archangel Raphael, Goddess Abundantia or any other prosperity angels/deities, to help you manifest your desires. Surround the candle with the stones. I put the green aventurine on one side of the candle and the clear quartz on the other side with the point facing the green aventurine. Light the candle and allow it to burn all the way through. You can also create your own ritual and use different stones, oils, deities, etc. Do what works for you.


I hope that these tips on manifesting financial abundance will serve you well on your journey. Take care!


Love and Ascension,
