balancing chakras

So today is the day to balance those pesky chakras.  I believe my Reiki practice does this pretty well, but I just love using crystals for chakra balancing.  I use my intuition and pendulum to see which stones to use for each chakra and whether I am too open or too closed or if I am just wonky.  Most often, I do my sister and she does me.  It works well for us.  She has been having issues with grounding lately, which as an earthy earth sign is totally foreign to me, but she got some moldavite for dreamwork.  So moldavite is a form of tektite, supposedly formed when a meteorite hit the earth.  Others believe it is actually meteorite.  Either way, it is very high vibrational stone.  It is purported to help astral travel and connecting to spirit, your guides and other dimensional beings.  It's great for working on your psychic gifts and opening the crown chakra.  It's highly protective in connecting to spirit instead of earthbounds or other lower level beings. It is often called the "Holy Grail" stone because many believe it is what the holy grail was made of.  In any case, I can attest to holding it for a few minutes and feeling light-headed and floaty.  My sister has since put it in a box away for now, but is still having issues keeping her earth chakra and root chakra balanced.  I advise anyone who is planning to get some moldavite to be sure they have some grounding tools to use in case they are hyper-sensitive to it, as my sister and I are.
Today after balancing all her chakras, I sent her home with an obsidian palm stone to keep with her for grounding and staying connected.  I hope it helps her.  Her throat chakra was also completely out of whack, which leads us both to believe she is having issues with her thyroid.  So she is going to get that checked.
Then we did some tarot readings for each other.  My reading was insightful, but I still haven't figured it all out yet.  My sister's was good with The World in her outcome postition, which I love.  In truth, my sister and I read for each other a lot and we see the same cards come up for each other often.  We read differently, so what she might see in a reading is oftentimes different than what I see.  Never completely opposite, but different.  It makes the readings very interesting and insightful.  My sister has strong connection to spirit so I always take what she tells me to heart.  Well, it was a great morning!

feathers on my path

As the Harvest Moon starts to wane, I think of things I have to let go of this season.  Bad habits.  The things that no longer serve me.  I've named this blog "feathers on my path" because I find feathers everywhere, all the time, dozens and dozens of them.  They are beautiful, and I think they are to remind me to pay attention.  To everything.  Maybe they are messages from my guides.  From the spirit.  From the Great Mother.  From God.  Who knows?  But they are constant reminders for me to slow down and listen...to my inner voice, my intuition, my knowing.
My reiki self-care is hard this week.  My brain is buzzing with all of the things I need to do.  Not just laundry and dr's appts, but the things in my spiritual life that I have to take care of.  So I gridded my house this week and did a good smudging.  There is one thing to knock off the list and the energy in the house definitely feels clearer.  Now I need to clear myself.  My spirit from those things not serving me.  This is harder than I thought.
