Freedom of Choice

What Exactly is Choice?

The belief that you have right to make a decision.                                                      
In our energy world, consider that the decision has already been made, our task is to tap into the energy of that decision and make choices.  The answer is in believing that the conclusion is already the outcome! 

The belief you have the right to adopt your own values.                                         
Being able to embrace your own thought/feelings.  It is the ability to assume that whatever you choose it will be correct.  Not needing the endorsement of others.  Not looking for consent, or feel obligated to the fears of others.  Understanding that your own value does not come at a cost. Everything you have to offer is useful/desirable.

The belief that you can have your say.                                                                       
The faith to pronounce your truth.  To give voice to the statement you want to declare in your life.
What do you want to make known?  Not losing opportunities through lack of expression!

The understanding that there is an alternative.                                                         
That there is a different way than our parents told us it ‘should’ be done!  Replacing our parent’s belief system in order to find our own. Acknowledging that we unconsciously rely on our parents in order not to take responsibility!!  (creating fall backs in case we fail).

The knowing that there is always a solution.                                               
Understanding that the answer is always internal and not external.  Looking for the answer outside of the self teaches us not to trust our own ability.

The ability to find your own answer.                                                                             
That we have the potential to tap into our power and expand our capacity to create change.  Where do we give our power away?  Understanding it is only fear that stops us.  What do you fear?

The courage to put into action.                                                                                   

The ability to move!  To create?    To understand that your performance does not reflect on how you ‘think’ you should behave.  We fail to put into action for fear of failure!  That our conduct will not be acceptable in the sight of others.  It is impossible to fail what has already been decided. 



“We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.”

Introduction to Crystals

Mother Earth has an abundance of crystals on offer and these crystals have been part of our lives dating back from ancient civilizations to this very day.  The uses of clear quartz crystal are unlimited in both the healing field and the scientific and industrial field.   In Atlantis and Lemuria, they were used as highly evolved tools because of the purity of their light beam and their ultrasonic transmitting power, much as today’s electronic world and industry use them.  In Egypt they were used as amplification devices.  Crystals were put next to wires when lines of communication were broken.  To the American Indian culture it has been, and remains their most sacred stone, a symbol of light in the earth.  In some tribes, the baby’s cord is cut with a crystal, which of course, establishes the connection with the earth and light right after birth.  The crystals are used in their homes, during ceremonies and rituals and is buried with the dead.  A variety of crystals are available each with specific qualities.  Generally, their colour is a guide if you know for what purpose it is intended. 

Each crystal is uniquely different, able to collect and emit electromagnetic energy.   Our bodies are surrounded by an electromagnetic field or aura, which is influenced by other electromagnetic forces around us.  Crystals harness the highest form of energy within their structure and emit this energy to those who wear crystals or who are around crystals.  Automatically your energy or aura is harmonized.Crystals are living and conscious; able to communicate with people.  In order to program them, take the crystal in your hands, establish your intention and then breathe (your program) directly onto the crystal while holding it in your cupped hands, they should be put up to your mouth or heart.   This gesture is found in several of the myths about the creation of the world. 

Choosing Crystals:     It is simple. Use your intuition.  Look at all the crystals on offer and choose the one or ones that you feel most drawn to.  Do not analyse the reasons you feel more drawn to a particular crystal, simply trust your innate wisdom. You can also hold your hand over all the crystals and choose the one that promotes the strongest tingling feeling in the palm of your hand.  On different days you will be drawn to different crystals, depending on what you are experiencing in your life at the time and what energy you need to work with.  You may like to keep some crystals within your home or workplace to create specific energy in various rooms or spaces.

Crystals in Meditation:      Meditating with crystals can be as simple as holding the crystal you are most drawn to in your hand while keeping focus on your breathing.  It can be  an elaborate exercise – making a circle of crystals around your space or holding particular crystals for their unique shape or properties.  A healing meditation can involve holding the crystal over the area of your body that is in need and then focusing on the crystals energy pouring into your body to heal the tissues underneath.   You can use a crystal for its properties when you feel that you need balancing in a particular are of your life.  In this way crystals help to release energy blocks which may be preventing you from moving forward.  If you feel your home or workplace contains a low vibration, lift it by using higher vibration of crystals.  

The Mother of all Crystals:    
The clear quartz crystal is one of the most sacred stones ever.   It is the highest expression of the mineral kingdom.  It is sometimes more clear and transparent than water.  It catches the light and reflects beautiful rainbows.  It is a symbol of radiant white light energy.    

Choose a clear quartz crystal from our samples……..size or shape does not matter.  Hold the crystal, observe it, feel it, establish a relationship with it as we learn more about it.  The quartz symbol is a mirror our soul.  It represents our struggle for clarity.  The bottom of the crystal is usually dense, opaque.  As it grows through countless struggles, it gets clearer and clearer.  We, too, strive to achieve clarity of purpose and of being after our various struggles.

Its power lies also in its structure, growing, reaching up towards the light, from the depths of the earth.  Its apex is like a pyramid, representing the forces of trinity, doubled.  Trinity being the idea that three forces are necessary for anything new to happen which are active, passive and neutralizing. The more pointed the apex, the more perfect its healing power, which can be used as a laser beam.  For this purpose three sides should touch. 

The quartz crystal acts as a catalyst, a conductor of energy.  It is both a receiver and transmitter.  It is a protective ally that balances and harmonizes the aura giving it equilibrium.  Crystals attune themselves automatically to human vibrations because of their affinity with the human spirit, creating spiritual links when they are worn or held.  Remember to wash your crystal and keep it clean so it can protect you from outside negative vibrations.

The clear quartz crystal itself is a force field of light and energy which can be used as a sonic protection against negativity.  This property exists in all sizes of crystals including the small ones we wear to carry.  The passage of ions through the molecular structure makes them a valuable aid in clearing and neutralizing negative conditions in the aura of people of all ages.  It can be used to cleanse the atmosphere of large areas, such as our homes or places of work.

It can become our own personal healer for the body as well as a tranquilizer and transformer for the spirit.  It helps our intuitive insight, to see the light in the darkness, to be our own light.  When laid on the body the crystal quartz decrystallizes the knots which block the flow of energy.

LET COLOUR HELP YOU FULFIL YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

For a moment, imagine our existence without colour….feel the difference in vibration?

Colour is a very effective tool for meditation, visualizations and healing. As energy beings, we can sense the vibration of colour. Even people or animals who have a sight impairment or have difficulty perceiving colour, can sense the vibration of colour.

Some science about colour:
Colour comes directly from light energy and each colour has its own wavelength/vibration. For whatever is exposed to the different wavelengths of colour frequency there is a ‘cause and effect’ reaction.

There is a reason why things appear in particular colours. The colour of anything we observe depends upon a few factors. Firstly, everything is made up of electrons and atoms, which move in various frequencies. How something will look when bathed in light is governed by these frequencies. Any object, when exposed to light reacts with the result of a wide spectrum of colours that we can perceive. 

There are many reasons why things are the colour they are, but mainly it is due to the absorption and scattering properties of the material differing from that of the incoming wavelengths of the light that illuminates it.

The practicality of colour:
Colour is another free tool we have to induce healing and regeneration of our selves.   This tool has been used for centuries, to stimulate healing on all levels – in areas of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.  Colour varies in vibration from low to high frequencies.  The lower frequencies relating to our physical survival – grounding through to our personal power  (darker and denser colours like black, brown, red, orange, yellow) to our high frequencies relating to our spiritual nature – (light and bright colours such as magenta, blues and purples.)

The colours you are exposed to will and do affect your energy.   You know how you feel on a bright sunny day compared to dark stormy day. Colours of the clothes you wear tell a story about your energy therefore its also easy to read a person’s energy based on the colour of their clothing.  In your home you can choose the colours for different areas; reds stimulate excitement, yellow creativity and green a sense of calm.   Eating particular colours in our food; for example, an orange resonates with the sacral chakra – it will help balance relationships, finances and reproductive organs.  

So colour is not just an object of delight to our sense of sight, but a very interesting step into changing our well-being on all levels. You will automatically be attracted to certain colours through your subconscious, or you can consciously choose colours to correct and balance your vibration so you are healthy and happy.

Resonating with colour:
Naturally, we are already aware of the colours we are drawn to; as you also know which colours you dislike or are repulsed by.

Colour can be used as a healing modality.  It is a truly holistic, non-invasive and powerful form of healing which dates back thousands of years. Evidence of this can be found in ancient texts from India, China and Egypt.
Colour should be a part of our everyday life, not just something we experience in our class room.  Colour is all around us. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful colours of the rainbow without reason. Nature and its colours are not simply here by chance, everything in nature is here for a purpose and colour is no exception.   All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of colour, and it can transform our lives.
Colours in our homes and workplaces:
Be aware of the desired effects required to suit your well being and desired life style.  The warm colours, red, orange and yellow are warm alive colours with a focus on our physical being.   The blues, greens and violets are cool, calming and create the illusion of space and lightness. 
·      Red is suitable for areas of physical activity, gyms, and play areas.
·      Orange is great for entertainment, studies and communications as orange accentuates an interest in associations and relationships.  It activates the intellect enabling one to focus and concentrate.
·      Yellow is lively but fresh and can be used anywhere in the house.  Great to use in study or library as yellow will stimulate the intellect.
·      Green is a peaceful and serene colour, fantastic for rooms of relaxation, rest or even a kitchen, as it will help with creativity and focus in the preparation of food.
·      Blue creates tranquility. Ideal for bedrooms, and small rooms. Light blue will create spaciousness and light.
·      Violet has the tendency to accept nothing at face value, and so it is beneficial in libraries or study rooms. It helps with concentration and focus.  Also ideal for healing rooms and meditations rooms.
What colours do we like to wear?
Have you noticed what colours you are drawn to buy or wear over and over? These colours reflect our personalities.   Subconsciously we reflect what we are feeling each day by the colours we choose from our wardrobe.    From now on, make a note on how you feel when you wear particular colours.    Below is some insight as to what our clothing colours reflect from our energy.   You may consciously wear what you wish to project or create for yourself.
RED: When we wear red, we project an air of vitality, independence and individuality.    It may also project aggression and dominance.
ORANGE: Wearing orange reflects a happy, cheerful and conscientious image. 
GREEN: Produces an image of stability, balance and efficiency.  It appears calm, controlled and at peace.
BLUE: A tranquil colour that reflects patience and understanding.
CREAM: Projects versatility. An open minded person loves to wear cream.
GREY: Produces the image of judgement and aloofness; it also can project a critical air about us.
GOLD: Is perceived as open, approachable.  It wears well with black.
BLACK: Is a protective colour. It has mystery attached. It isn’t good to always wear black, as it may cut you off from communication and society, as it can be isolating.
WHITE: Is purity and openness.  Great to wear with all colours as it balances them.
Colours in what we eat in food:
By knowing more about colours, you can consciously choose the foods that will activate, relax or stimulate your energies in whatever way you wish.
If you know that you have a physical day ahead, eat the warmer colours relative to the task. If you have exams, or need to focus and concentrate, eat lots of yellow and blues. 
Red foods will stimulate the physical energies.

Orange foods will stimulate the intellect, balance the emotions and activate physical energy. 

Yellow foods induce aliveness mentally and physically. They help us be more focused and relaxed.

Green foods help us relax and unwind.  They balance our mental and emotional stress.  

Blue foods soothe mental and nervous tension. They have a sedating effect by relaxing our mind and emotions.


Violet foods create a sense of peace. They do stimulate thoughts and inspires one to study. 

Our Energy Reality

Fact:  Energy is the driving force for the universe. Energy is a quantitative property of a system which may be kinetic, potential, or other in form. There are many different forms of energy. One form of energy can be transferred to another form.

Let us break this up into something simple...the universe is made up of energy. This includes the earth and everything on it. Everything around us is made up of matter and all matter can be transformed. Matter can be manipulated in the elements, (earth, fire, water, air and space) which is the bases of all philosophy, science and medicine.

We and everything that surrounds us are made up of energy.  We are all made up of atoms but with different molecular structures or vibrations.  Solids have molecules which are packed tightly and have a slow vibration. But gases for example, have molecules that are less dense and have more freedom to move, so appear in a different form to solids.

It is easy to think of the earth as a solid mass of dirt.  In reality it is made up of several layers.  The earth is solid, with water, gas, air and space.   No different to us as we are also made up of the same elements. Each element is responsible for different structures in the body. Earth forms solid structures, such as bones, flesh, skin, tissues, and hair. Water forms saliva, urine, semen, blood, and sweat. Fire forms hunger, thirst, and sleep. Air is responsible for all movement, including expansion, contraction, and suppression. Space forms physical attraction and repulsion, as well as fear.

We are energy beings living in an energy world.

Our lives are always connected to some form of energy. We need to be mindful of this as it affects our energy and our state of being.   Energy affects our physical health, our mental processes, our emotional states and our spiritual awareness.

We tend to live our daily lives in the perception that reality is based on a material world of solid matter.  The truth is, in the basic universal laws of how all things are interconnected, we are in constant motion. All energy has relativity, duality, rhythm and cause and effect just to name a few.   

In every moment we are interconnected to all energies, starting with self,(your own state of being, physically, mentally and emotionally).   Our environment also carries its own energy and the energy of others, all of which influence or penetrate our energy.  

With an open awareness, you can begin to make the right choices on how you receive energy or how you protect yourself from outside energy.  You can also use energy to heal and create abundance.
Be aware that you also emanate your energy which reflects your inner state of being. This is how other people will perceive you.  Where intention flows energy will go. So be aware of your intentions, your ego, and your emotions.  This is how karma is created.

It is your responsibility to make the right positive choices for your own energy preservation.    This results in liberation for yourself from negativity and can have a very healthy abundant life. 

Ask yourself….
Why do you feel drained at times? – It could be environmental, such as people who use/drain your own energy.
Why do you feel powerless or upset in some situations?  -  it could be that you are not respecting your own energy and given it to others.
Do you have issues around people? – It could be what you emanate.
Why do you find finances an issue?  - Money is energy. Therefore what are your thoughts and intentions around money?
Why do you have negative experiences? – What intentions to you put out? 
Do you feel you are not good enough? – If YOU believe it, YOU create it. 
These are only some questions you can ask yourself. If your life is not in balance or check, start looking at the world on an energy level.
