Meditation

Get comfortable, sitting with your back straight and your feet on the floor. Put your hands in your lap and turn your palms to the sky. This position is called the “mudra” and helps you receive energy.


Shut your eyes and inhale through your nose, exhaling through your mouth. Envelop yourself in a soft violet light. Breathe 


Imagine a lotus at the top of your head. As you continue to breathe slowly and evenly, see the lotus petals unfurling to show you a bright violet light—the crown chakra color.


Picture the light getting brighter and brighter, warming the crown of your head.

Let that warmth spread downwards throughout your whole body.


After 5-10 minutes, open your eyes and sit quietly for a few minutes.


Gemstone

The Labradorite crystal properties remind us to keep it magical by linking us to the spirit world, a dimension where anything is possible. Other stones keep us anchored to the earth with their powerful grounding effects while Labradorite encourages us to keep our head in the clouds. Your Labradorite crystal stone inspires you to reach for the stars in your quest for a higher consciousness. It bridges the gap between the heavens and physical reality so that your dreams and aspirations don’t seem out of reach. 


Planetary Aspect 

July 13 - Venus is approaching a conjunction with Mars in Leo. The Venus-Mars exact alignment, happening on July 13, is also symbolizing a new beginning. This aspect will start a new chapter of our lives relative to our experience of relationships, our desires, our sexuality, our style of self-expression, and our way of dealing with finances. The days before the exact conjunction represent a time to release old values and limiting beliefs around love, abundance, creativity, and desire. The Venus-Mars conjunction gives us chances to begin a brand-new chapter in our existing relationship or to start new ones based on different foundations.


July 15 - Chiron turns retrograde and will remain retrograde until December 19th. This cycle is good for introspection and reassessing the mental and physical health programs in our lives. We tend to look within for healing with Chiron retrograde.
