Blue Lace Agate - Peacemaker!

I'm kind of going through a blue phase, not a sad blue phase but a "cool" blue phase...  I'm loving my blue stones these days.  My latest favorite is, Blue Lace Agate.   This stone can can help relieve headaches  and painful swollen glands in the neck.   It calms stress and stress-related conditions and can soothe skin allergies. One of my favorite uses of this lovely stone is making use of it's peacemaker energies. It can send peaceful energies to war-torn places (gee, we need that, right!) Just place it near a picture or other memorabilia of a place that needs peace and let it do it's magic.

At work, wear or carry it when you want to avoid confrontations and it helps you think on your feet. For our animal friends, it can reduce barking in a dog, screeching in birds and yowling in a cat. Just put it near the "offender" or add a stone to their drinking water.

For those spiritual journeyers, this beautiful blue stone develops clairaudience (clear hearing) and helps you deliver your messages in a positive and uplifting manner. It also helps develop your 5th Chakra (throat Chakra).

To recharge your Blue Lace Agate friend, use the moonlight as the moon begins to wax.

 I will be covering this stone and more in my class series, Speaking to the Earth.  To read more about these classes, click here.

For our "pet" birds, they LOVE the citrus oils. Make up a spray bottle with Orange, Lemon & Lavender essential oils and spritz on their feathers.  You'll be amazed at the dramatic change in their behavior as they love the uplifting effects these oils have on their life. To make your own feather spray, take a 4 oz spray bottle and fill it with distilled water.  At about 10 drops each of Orange and Lemon therapeutic-grade essential oils (Young Living Brand) and spritz the feathers. Happy Bird!

Get energy moving with flower essences and Reiki

The flower essence blend called Flow Free is one of my favorites right now. Originally blended for urinary tract health this is also a great choice for an animal (or human) with problems with energy flow anywhere in the body.  When this happens, our animals needs help to get that energy flow properly moving.  We can lend assistance by using this effective flower essence blend called Flow Free.  Offering Reiki can also help in getting the energy moving. This combination can be very helpful for older animals that are feeling down and have a lack of energy. 

I custom blend all flower essence formulas using Green Hope Farm essences.  I then fill the bottles with the loving, healing energy of Reiki.  Contact me for a custom blend for you or your animal.

Essential Oil Tip - Jasmine

If you've never smelled the essential oil of Jasmine, you are missing one of the most exquisite scents available. This scent is nicknamed the "queen of the night" and "moonlight of the grove."  In addition to its aphrodisiac qualities, Jasmine is known to be calming and sedative, good for depression, nervous exhaustion and stress. It is also a good oil for use in skin care, especially for those of a sensitive nature.

Jasmine absolute is an orange-brown, viscous liquid with an intensely rich, warm, floral scent and 'tea-like' undertone. It is an oil that brings a lightness and happy feeling to those who use it.

It is potent oil and a little goes a long way.

This substance isn't an actual essential oil but an "absolute extraction" from the flower. It is an "essence' and not an essential oil.  To acquire the intoxicating scent, the flowers must be picked a night to maximize the fragrance. The blossoms must be collected before sunrise or much of the fragrance will have evaporated. Also, the quality of the blossoms may be compromised if they are crushed.
