Grounding, Meditation and higher spiritual connections

 Grounding, meditation and spirituality are such an interesting experience and you never know what you will see, hear and feel. The more you do these the more powerful they become, often leading to a google search for the symbols that one sees. 

Lately I have been seeing a golden tassel, Buddhist images other interesting images when doing my golden grounding cord each day, well I do two different types of grounding daily but, I always visualise a diamond on the end of the grounding cord. I always see a smokey quartz looking diamond and I couldn’t understand why I was seeing this colour until I did a google search. This certainly provided answers that would not usually be found in books. 

The Smokey colour actually means one has a  blend of divine spiritual light and earthly grounding energy. The Smokey brown colour tells you that you working with the highest spiritual energy and you are sufficiently grounded with enough spiritual power balance and filtering out negative energy and providing mental clarity. So when you see this you are securely grounded and with spiritual protection  of your energy field and the golden cord releases heavy excess energy into the ground. 

The golden tassel is also very important, I experienced this yesterday morning and thought what is this about. Good old google came up with the answer. The golden tassel symbolises bridging spiritual awakening and earthly stability. The golden colour represents divine light, higher consciousness and wisdom. The tassel represents connection, completion and  grounded roots. Combined they mean your spiritual energy is securely grounded in the physical world.

Gold relates to the crown chakra and when meditating and grounding the divine energy comes down into the crown chakra and connects to the base or root chakra. So one is aligning their  higher spiritual energy in a grounded and practical manner. 

The actual threads of the tassel are the roots of  a lotus flower, symbolising the ability to draw pure spiritual power from unrefined sources or our reality. 

Tassels that are worn or adorning something represents the spiritual representation of faith, devotion and energetic protection. So seeing this shows you are in a safe and protected, grounding environment. 

How good is this, as your body mind and spirit are able to communicate such vital information through to your conscious mind. Sometimes you will hear your higher self or a guide speaking to you as you are grounding and attuning. Oddly enough, this morning when I was completing my grounding and attuning, I felt the postie arriving at the door, and just as this happened our door bell rang and I heard our lady postie calling out that she was delivering a package. That was a split second between me seeing in my third eye and her actually arriving on the doorstep. That is not unusual for me though but sometimes I am preoccupied and don’t pick up on such things. I was rather pleased with the experience this morning.

Essential oils for spiritual health and safety (OH and S)

 https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/products/productid1343?variant=8762880771

I like to practice what it call spiritual OH and S; not just by grounding and attuning I use space clearing essences and essential oils and crystals. In my line of work these are very important tools.

Sometimes you can get drained, and feel a bit off, so the practice of keeping yourself in good shape spiritually includes some powerful essential oils and essences. 

Two good essential oils are Palo Santo (st Paul) and Thyme. Palo Santo is a delightful fragrance and so calming that it is a joy to use. It has a lovely sweet and woody aroma with a hint of mint, lemon and pine. Mind you, I think of Ylang Ylang when I smell this oil. Maybe that’s just me though lol.

Palo Santo is a grounding essential oil, which goes well with spiritual practices. This oil cleanses the energy of any space, whether it’s stagnant energy or negative energy in the environment. This oil is like a broom sweeping away the unwanted energy. It a good alternative to smokey smudge sticks as many people can’t stand the smell of smudge sticks or the smoke. Mind you, you should open windows before smudging or the smoke will fill the room, and you don’t want that. 

Use  Palo Santo in meditation as the fragrance interacts with the brain’s limbic system, inducing a sense of calm. Assisting us to slow down the mind and activating our 3rd eye and crown chakra increasing our spiritual awareness. 

This beneficial oil protects the aura like a shield keeping out unwanted stresses and emotional overwhelming. So one can see its great value immediately. It’s not a cheap oil so do buy from a reputable source and buy at least a 10 or 12 ml bottle. I have an 18 mil bottle, purchased from my long term essential oils supplier. https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/products/productid1343?variant=8762880771

This is $20 for 18 mils, and good quality, shop according to your needs and keep regular supplies that you need. Nothing worse than being out of an imported product. 

A final thing to know is Palo Santo is a gentle oil to assist in relieving stress and trauma. 

The other oil is Thyme, which is used for spiritual cleansing of negative energy, it’s empowering with courage and emotional strength of resilience. As an oil it is aligned to the element of fire, and the solar chakra. Red Thyme repels psychic attacks, releasing negative thoughts and doubts, grief, anger and fears. Red thyme is used for getting rid of negative and lower entities and curses. 

White Thyme oil is actually the red oil redistilled, it promotes mental clarity and purification of the mind. WHite thyme works on the throat chakra and assists in speaking your truth It is also used to cleanse your aura and bringing peace and calm to your environment, it may assist in a restful sleep.

This oil is potent so use it carefully, by diluting it in a 1 or 2 percent ratio. 

Dab it on your pulse points and your solar chakra. It is recommended to use 3 to 5 drops in a carrier oil.

https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/products/productid783?_pos=1&_sid=58e337fc7&_ss=r

You can use white or red Thyme oil, again you want a decent size bottle depending on how often you use the particular essential oil. 

The spiritual use of this oil is for spiritual energetic purification, as it removes heavy energies and banishes negative malevolent energies. Thyme also guards sacred places. 

Thyme is used for enhancing psychic abilities and clarity either by wearing it or using it in a diffuser, to heighten your senses and assist in spiritual communication with the elemental world. 

If using Thyme as an anointing oil it must be heavily diluted and used on your solar chakra or pulse points prior to commencing meditation. Thyme promotes personal power and self assurance. 

For those that like spiritual baths, when using Thyme oil start with putting some on your skin, 2 drops, before adding to your bath water. This cleanses your aura and relieve fatigue. 

Wishing you good luck in your spiritual journey and warm and fuzzy hugs 🤗

To give everyone a bit of understanding of astrological influences, Aries is the first house of the zodiac and is a house of life. Which means it describes the personality of a person or an event.  The Key phrase is I am. The key word is Activity.

We are currently going through the transition from the year of the Wood Snake to the year of the Fire Horse so this adds to the tension and upheaval we are feeling. The Fire Horse is full on action too so don’t expect anything warm and fuzzy. It’s a hell of a fast paced energy and aggressive male energy as stated in my 2026 psychic predictions. 

Please make sure that you keep up your grounding, shielding and keeping your energies high. Practice meditation, mindfulness, and wear crystals that promote spiritual and psychic protection, such as amethyst, black tourmaline or black obsidian, selenite, lapis lazulis, labradorite, blue sodalite and clear quartz. 

Do the golden grounding cord meditation, gold light yourself and your home. You may even want to place selenite above your door on the inside to keep out negative energy. If you feel that you have any negative energy in your body and aura, please try my gold light meditation using a gold light dragnet. You might need to do this for a couple of days if you’re not feeling any better. Please use a space clearing mist on your aura and body. You can have a psychic wound on your back so spray the space clearing mist on your back.

For protection and cleansing, these essential oils are good options that you can use in a base of jojoba oil such as Frankincense, Cedarwood, Sage, Juniper, Thyme, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Galbanum is an oil that clears blocks also. I have never used this though. Always remember it’s your firm intention that makes all of this work. A half hearted effort will not achieve anything. 

There are a few other oils that can be used too but go with what resonates with you. I buy my oils from https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/ and his prices are pretty good. I have known this guy for over 25 years off and on as he used to live near me. 

For crystals you are best using, the lovely Amethyst and you need a reasonable size one such as a small geode or tower, and place it where you spend most of your time. Next I recommend a Selenite tower, for a few reasons, it is a self cleaning crystal that you don’t need to clean and charge. It charges other crystals by being next to them. 

Black Tourmaline, the most protective of all Tourmaline as it puts a protective barrier or field of energy around your aura. Black Obsidian works like a mirror and reflects back the negative energy to the original source of origin. Labradorite puts a shield up against psychic attacks, whether they are deliberate or by people fixated on you. Labradorite protects you from energy vampires too. Which can be worn as a bracelet or pendant and will act like a suit of psychic armour. If worn as a bracelet, wear it on your left wrist as that is the receiving side of your body. Stopping the negative energies in their tracks. 

Much blessings and warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone who needs it
