KAJAMA.COM NEWSLETTER

March 10 through March 16, 2025

Two major astrological events will happen this Friday, but before they do, we'll have a few days to prepare. Monday and Tuesday's Leo Moon will have us reaching out to others to make sure they have all they need, as well as reviewing our requirements to ensure all is in order. Our mantra should be fairness and balance in all we do, say, and think. The Moon will move into Virgo on Wednesday, making the next three days all about organizing and focusing on details. Our worlds have gotten a bit out of order, so taking the time to restore and review is essential. If you didn't back up your computer, phones, and electronic devices last week, now is the time! Friday heralds the first eclipse of the year, as the Virgo Full Moon creates a lunar eclipse. For the next two weeks, we'll release things in our physical world that no longer serve us, be it outworn clothing, old paperwork, or general clutter. A few hours later Mercury will turn retrograde, where it will spend the next three weeks asking us to take a closer look at our current paths, do more research and if needed, revise our plans. We all know Mercury can throw a few wrenches during this cycle, but if we keep in mind it's to keep us from moving down the right path, we'll be more open to letting go and allowing a different picture to emerge.

How to Meditate with Crystals: Simple Ways to Change Your Life, by Jolie DeMarco

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

I love to share that meditation is the best habit you can create. And, combining meditation with powerful crystal energies is the new craze. In case you didn't know, crystals from Mother Earth carry frequencies that can balance, adjust, or help us release what is needed in our lives—simply holding specific crystals adjusts your human aura (the electromagnetic field that surrounds your physical body).

Meditation lowers stress levels, and it can bring balance and enhance the mental mind to create positive thoughts and connect you to success. When you pair your meditation with a purposeful intention, you are able to bring the ultimate outcomes that you desire.

All that and a bag of chips! Now, if you combine two high-powered crystals with your chosen meditation to match your purpose, you will be euphoric. Once you get started, you'll be hooked.

Whether you're new to meditation and crystals or a seasoned practitioner, please let me teach you how to amplify your bliss with the specific crystals paired with meditations—simultaneously raising your frequency and increasing your level of happiness.

My new book, How to Meditate with Crystals, features helpful guided meditations, chakra and color meditations, meditations for manifesting love, meditations to connect with spirit guides or loved ones who have passed over, meditations for past or parallel lives, self-soul connection meditations, meditations to help you bond with earth elements, meditations using sacred geometry, and body movement meditations. Whether you're just beginning a meditation practice or have been meditating for many years, this book will support your journey toward a more balanced, fulfilled, and spiritually-connected authentic version of yourself.

This fabulous book includes 33 powerful meditations and in-depth discussions of 33 individual crystals. For each meditation, I share the best high-vibe crystals to use and 5 unique methods of meditation. For each crystal, you will be able to explore its energy vibrations, its origin, and its best usage in a meditation, as well as its influence on the chakras, the physical body, the emotions, and the spirit. These crystal and meditation combinations will help you address a wide range of issues and goals, including improving your mental health, heightening your level of happiness, and igniting success.

Below, I have provided 3 meditations and crystal pairings to get you started on your crystal meditation journey.

1. Meditation for Release of Self-Negativity
Purpose: This meditation helps you to purge those vibrations that are lower and repeated, such as resentments, self-hurting thoughts and fears, a lack of confidence, and self-sabotage that stems from words or thoughts you hold over your.

Best Crystals: Danburite is a steadfast train that rolls through any weather, your bull, facades you created, and any self-blame. Its frequencies break all of these down so it can be swept out of your body and out of your energy fields for good. Rutile quartz keeps your frequency from going back to that same old track of negativity.

Intention and Opening: "I understand that I have allowed self-sabotage; I am now allowing and giving permission to change and adapt powerful loving thoughts, as everyone deserves good things and occurrences in their life. I am part of everyone. I deserve a positive, good life and good opportunities that allow me to move forward. I now accept these gifts and will take action when I am offered these gifts from other people, myself, and the universe."

Easy Guidance: "I release all fears or facades I created in my mind about me and my life. All that is negative, I am allowing myself to change. That includes changing my record, shifting my ideals, and becoming more honorable, trustworthy, and loyal to myself and others. I am a human being who has faults and can easily move them out—the emotions of them and my mental process of how I think about them. This way I can become all I truly want to be."

Closing and Gratitude: "I am always able to release any issues that arise. I am powerful in loving ways. I can create my own destiny; only I can release what I need to. I certainly am thankful that I understand how to dispose of any toxic energy with beauty and grace."

2. Full Moon Cycle Meditation
Purpose: This meditation is good for completing a cycle or the closure of an event, a relationship, or a personal emotion, along with enhancing your overall energy frequency during the full moon.

Best Crystals: Herkimer diamonds enhance and advance your well-being and tune-up your frequencies. The full moon's energy also amps up your vibes by cleansing and clearing your aura. Combine those with moonstone—a favorable crystal for positive travels, cycles of life, and purposes in our lives—and we can continue to manifest and reset.

Intention and Opening: "I am grateful for the cosmic energy, such as the moon and stars. They favorably guide me in my quest to complete and have closure. I am ready to advance and bathe in the moonlight's frequencies to charge my energy as it cleanses and clears me."

Easy Guidance: This meditation is best done outdoors, weather permitting. Basking in the full moon is definitely beneficial to your frequency! Place a Herkimer and a moonstone so there is a stone in each hand. Sit or lie in a comfortable position, and if you can, face up so you can actually see the moon over you. Don't worry if it is cloudy; the vibes still penetrate through to you. Now close your eyes and breathe in the outdoor air.

Closing and Gratitude: "I am blessed that I can enjoy Earth and beyond as a connection of all that is. I can synchronize my mind and my body to create what I want and need in my current life. I am gifted to be able to sense the moon's energy to fulfill and move me forward to my next quest."

3. Meditation to Connect to Light Beings and Extraterrestrial Frequencies
Purpose: This meditation will help you to connect to light beings and extraterrestrial frequencies.

Best Crystals: Celestite brings in soft, soothing, loving energy and sometimes calls in light beings, as does Moldavite. These frequencies allow telepathic communication with those from other atmospheres.

Intention and Opening: "I am and I allow myself to connect to [light or extraterrestrial beings]. I will be able to sense them and understand messages from my intuitive abilities and my sensitivities of hearing, feeling, and inner knowing. When I fully wake, I will take notes on my sensations and thoughts, which are messages from them to me."

Easy Guidance: Breathe in and out to relax your body. Do this at a nice, slow pace. At least six breaths in and out. As you find yourself completely relaxed, notice your third eye and visualize white light opening that area of your forehead. It is easy and light and feels beautiful. This will allow a connection for you and your communicators to telepathically send you information that you can clearly understand. As you relax and feel the white light over the top of your head and forehead, you feel safe and warm. Your body from the nose all the way down to your feet is feeling activated with a heavenly pink light of energy. This makes you feel comfortable. Your shoulders feel like you are receiving a hug from your guides and friends of the light. They will start to show you visions or help you get a color or picture as a message. You may also hear something or feel as though they are speaking to you in your inner mind. Occasionally you may feel a soft touch on the forehead or shoulder. This is them letting you know they are present. Allow and receive. If you are completely relaxed and would like to, imagine a rope or energy rope that looks like light. You can grab this rope and allow your visitors to pull you into a space where they reside. You can do this by asking them to bring you into this space safely. When you are ready to come back to Earth, mindfully ask them to bring you back safely.

Closing and Gratitude: "I would like to thank all the beings who brought me wonderful visions and experiences. I am back and hope to continue a space travel with you soon."

I've had a number of psychic readings over the years, and some have felt far more "spiritual" and healing than others, even though they may have been similar in terms of accuracy. Is the source of all psychic guidance the same, or do some psychics tap into "higher" or better sources than others? Love and light!

- Bethany

Dreamchaser:

I really am glad that you asked this question, because I think people need to understand this point.

I know how to drive. My son, who has his learner's permit, knows how to drive. A NASCAR driver also knows how to drive. All three of us know where the controls are and know how to use them. All three of us know the rules of the road and know how they are applied. Who do you think is the better driver? Do you think that experience plays a hand in the skills that each one possesses? The more advanced and experienced someone is at driving, the better the driver they will tend to be.

I think the same thing applies to psychic readers. We all tap into the same source of knowledge. There IS only one source of knowledge. However, some readers will be able to go deeper and apply more skill to the reading process.

I'll venture to say that you are going to get a deeper, more useful reading from Astrea or from me than you will from someone who just started reading a short time ago. My son can drive, but he has not had any experience driving in city traffic, in snow, etc. He doesn't know anything about that, since he hasn't done it yet. Similarly, a reader who has never channeled someone from the Otherside lacks experience with that sort of thing. While they can learn how to do it, they haven't done it yet.

You also need to realize that reading is much like looking at any other object. You and I could be walking down the street together and see a man coming towards us. I might notice his eyes, while you might notice his shirt. When asked about this man, we would both give a different perspective on him. It is the same with readers. Some people see the "eyes" and some see the "shirt," so to speak.

Further, some people are psychic, but they are not healers. If you do not feel any "healing" in a reading, it does not mean that the reader was wrong or inaccurate - it could simply mean that the reader did not have the ability to "heal" you as well as read you.

If you are aligned with receiving a healing experience when you get a reading, then Spirit will send healing in the way that you are best able to receive it. A good reader will go with the vibes Spirit sends them, and allow Spirit to guide the whole reading process.

I personally am a healer as well as a reader, but sometimes I feel I should not throw in too much healing stuff, so I don't. I must trust that Spirit knows best. So you can rest assured that whatever you got in each reading was exactly what you were supposed to get.

I wish you the ability to see excellence in all things.

Astrea:

While the source of all psychic guidance is basically the same, the way psychics tap into that source is as varied as the psychics who do it. Everyone I've ever met who is involved in this type of work has different techniques for gaining psychic information - none of us is exactly the same.

Some psychics say they have a "direct line" to Spirit, that they intuit guidance and information directly from the Source. Some use tools like tarot or astrology to help them figure out answers to the questions they encounter. Most of us use everything we can think of in order to get clear answers for our clients.

People also experience their readings in different ways. Even if the information comes in the same way over and over, they will interpret it as is right or easiest for them at that time.

For example, take the client who visits a reader over and over with the same questions, trying to get DIFFERENT answers. If you ask that person what the psychic told her, every day she may have a different slant on the reading because of what she WANTS to hear. People bend the information they receive around their own fears and desires, so it depends on their frame of mind as much as it does the readers'.

Psychics also give people different answers to the same questions. We're human too, and have our own subjective perspectives that we try to rise above while we're reading. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, however, our perspectives will spill over and color our readings with our opinions.

If someone is in relationship with someone who is bad for her, and she doesn't want to hear the truth, she may go from one psychic to another, trying to hear the answers she wants to hear. Eventually, she will discover someone working as a psychic who really isn't, and this person may tell her what she WANTS to hear just to keep getting her money. Until that person is ready to grow and make a decision on her own, she will use fakes as a crutch to hold on to a situation she doesn't really want to release.

The reason some readings feel more "healing" than others is due to the level of skill and compassion of the reader. Over the years, experienced psychics learn the wise ways to deliver answers that may be hard to hear. The more experience the psychic has, the more "healed" the client is going to feel.

When it comes right down to it, however, the psychic's number one duty is to try to get the client to learn to make decisions for herself. In my opinion, the "best" psychics are the ones who help people heal so that they can stand on their own two feet and live happy lives.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
