Mercury officially turns direct on Monday, moving us out of its retrograde cycle at last! Technical and electronic glitches, as well as miscommunication, could still go on for another week or so, so be prepared to stop and change direction when it acts up! The Moon will travel through Virgo Tuesday through Thursday, making midweek the ideal time to focus on detailed projects, organizational tasks, and helping others. Balance is the theme when the Moon moves into Libra on Friday, and even more so on Saturday when it waxes full. Relationships, equality, and love will rule the weekend. To top it off, Venus will turn direct after six weeks of backward motion, and as the planet that rules Libra, will make our emotional connections even stronger in the process. Sunday's Scorpio Moon carries an energy of spiritual depth and intense focus, making whatever we turn our attention to a guaranteed joy.

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 have a strange situation. I was involved in a motorcycle accident, and at the time I was thrown to the ground, I was embraced by a man in a white suit. Though my right leg was fractured in the accident, I didn't have another scratch on me. I'm wondering who this man in the white suit was and if I'm right in assuming he was some sort of guardian angel.

Astrea:

My mother was an Angel Expert; she studied Angels like other people study foreign languages. Long before it was popular to wear representations of Angels, she was drawing and painting them as she saw them. I know that sounds like pretty spooky stuff, but she was a pretty spooky person! For example, she loved Gustave Dore's scary etchings.

In the early seventies, she produced beautiful jewelry of 24 Angels based on the Astrological calendar. No one bought them. Back then, people weren't wearing Angels in every buttonhole or hanging them from cell phones, over doorways and in their cars.

Mama's research led her to believe that each Sun Sign has an Archangel and a Messenger Angel. For instance, as a Sagittarius, I have Michael for my Archangel and Sizyahasel as my Messenger Angel. Michael is the Archangel for Fire Signs, Gabriel for Water, Uriel for Earth and Raphael for Air.

There are twelve Messenger Angels, one for each Astrological Sign. They are quirky and moody and expect us to believe in them on Faith and accept their help and advice without question. Documentation of this came from The Book of Enoch, which is another one of those Apocryphal texts that got left out of the Christian Bible.

Angels appear to most children as Creatures of Light. They are often seen in long white robes and are usually much larger than regular people. It's said that we see them (on the rare occasions that we are allowed to do so) at times when we are in danger, sorrow or some kind of trouble.

While some Angels have lived lives on Earth as humans, I believe that Angels like the one YOU saw have always been Angels and never lived in human form. Lately I've been reading and hearing that we frustrate our Angels quite a bit with our behavior. They can help us out of horrible situations and advise us on all sorts of problems, but they can't force us to accept their help and advice.

I guess that's part of being an Angel: to be once removed from our lives in ways that we don't fully understand. Of course, if they COULD control what we do, the world would be a much nicer place!

Since the mental pictures most of us have of Angels involve Beings of Light in white robes, it makes perfect sense to me that these days, Guardian Angels might be a bit more modern and dress in white suits.

A fractured leg is a pretty big deal to me, but I understand how much worse your motorcycle accident might have been. That person in a white suit MUST have been an Angel; otherwise you would have wound up as highway goo!

Susyn:

Yes, you were definitely protected by a guardian angel or one of your spirit guides when this accident occurred. When people are involved in a life-threatening situation, they often see and hear things of a spiritual nature that they would not typically notice in their day-to-day activities.

It's not unusual for those who have survived near-death experiences to recall the phenomenon of seeing their lives flash before their eyes. If they have been pronounced dead but a few minutes later returned to life, they often describe being surrounded by a white light and seeing loved ones who have passed over waiting to greet them.

During the shock and trauma of this accident, your spiritual vision was keener than usual, which enabled you to recognize your guardian angel beside you. His embrace and protection were definitely what prevented this accident from being worse.

When people experience life-threatening situations, their spiritual abilities may reveal themselves quite suddenly, which is why you saw your guardian angel at that very moment. Now that you have healed, you will begin to notice more synchronistic events and encounters with spirits because you'll be more open to them.

If you would like to know more about this mysterious man in white who appeared out of nowhere to protect you, there are a few ways to go about it.

First, set aside a half an hour or more for a guided meditation. Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed so that you can concentrate on the accident and what you remember about it. Light a few white candles and some sage incense. Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind. Then either describe what you remember in as much detail as possible or sketch a picture of the man in the white suit. (You can also do both!)

Once you have a mental picture of your guardian angel and have refreshed your memories of this incident, meditate for the next fifteen or twenty minutes, asking him to reveal himself and how he came to be there just when you needed him. You may discover his name during this meditation, along with his purpose for being in your life.

He may be a loved one who has passed over, such as a grandfather, father or uncle figure. He may be a guardian angel who has protected you since you were a young child, and if this is the case, he may reveal other instances when he kept you from harm.

Forming a conscious connection with your spirit guide will provide you with a new sense of confidence and trust that you are never truly alone in life, and are always spiritually protected.

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.
