Being centered in the chaos

September 19, 2026 by Allie Phillips

Is it possible to be centered in the chaos?

If life feels like a game of Jenga, you are not alone. If you are observant, you see things being revealed that are difficult to look at and things collapsing.

Spoiler alert: What is collapsing was built on old energies that cannot survive. In order to build something new, the old has to release. And for those who really stuck in old energies, it will take extremes being revealed to open their eyes.

For 20+ years, the spiritual community has been preparing people for the biggest shifts and transformations ever experienced by humans. It all tracks with what credible and authentic astrologists have studied in the sky. This is a massive topic – with many nuances and perspectives – that I cannot do justice to in a short email. It is literally everything that I talk about in my Sacred Shift community.

Historians relate current events to the Four Turnings – 80 year cycles written about in a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe. Basically, civilization moves in cycles:

First Turning – High energy and rebuilding after crisis where institutions are strong and people come together. Showed up as reconstruction after WW2 and the Great Depression. The Boomer generation was born.
Second Turning – The awakening, institutions attacked, rise of personal freedom and the hippie/civil rights movement of the 60’s and 70s. The GenX generation was born.
Third Turning – The unraveling where institutions are weak and distrusted, and individualism is strong. A progressive era including the decadence of the 80s. The Millennial generation was born.
Fourth Turning – We are here. What was built will fall apart, collapse of old structures, violence, upheaval, which is why we see the elder Boomers holding onto extreme positions while losing power. The end of an era where society comes together for survival which then leads to a new high and then the cycle repeats. The last time we were in the Fourth Turning was 1929-45 during WW2 and the Great Depression. We are in the Fourth Turning now and it will conclude around 2030, which interestingly is when spiritualists say that the energy shift will settle into its new routine.

Whether you look at current events from a historical or spiritual perspective, they both say the same thing. We are in changing times but we have survived it before.

If you feel like a different person, see relationships crumble, hobbies and interests fade, passion for life fade, anxiety, depression and anger increase, and find it difficult to plan for the future – all of these are part of the shift.

Life is meant to be enjoyed and it is absolutely possible to thrive in these energies. But you need to shift. It takes an open mind to examine old beliefs, learn what is happening, take action steps, and have a forward-focus outlook based on what you want (rather than focusing on the problems).

Release and center to feel better in chaos

What can you do to help you stay centered in the chaos? Release & Center!

Release
- Your beliefs are being challenged because they were built on old structures and programming that are collapsing. Be open to see what is being revealed and allow yourself to change your opinion.
- When you are triggered, that is a signal of something ready to release and heal. This is shadow work and it’s really empowering. Check out my on-demand Shadow class to guide you through this process. When you do this work, you will better handle the shifting energies.
- Drastically minimize the amount of time you spend daily on news and social media (20 minutes or less) or eliminate it all together. Get information from independent sources and fact check everything. We just entered a phase where AI (fueled by old energy structures) now controls information in an effort to keep us in old energy. This makes it very difficult to discern what is really true.
- Allow yourself to let go of what creates struggle. Struggle means you are out of alignment.
- Spend daily time in nature tapping into the releasing energies of the air, earth, and water. Let nature energies take away your negative emotions. Appreciate the beauty around you.
- Learn techniques with crystalline Earth energies and essential oils to release what no longer serves you. I share these in my Basic and Advanced Crystal Energy classes that are coming up!
Center
- After you release old energies that have weighed you down (aka made you stuck), you can then work on centering into the authentic you.
- Make a decision (everyday) to not anchor into fear, anger or low energies created in the collapse. Observe information to stay aware, but do not absorb. Shift your focus to what you want in the future. Do not let current energies divert you from this.
- When you see things that are worrisome and your beliefs are changing, focus on anchoring deeply to Earth and pat yourself on the back for recognizing your shift.
- Give your time and energy to people and situations that are supportive, uplifting and where you can make a positive impact.
- Spend daily time in nature tapping into the centering and empowering energies of the sun, earth, and wind. Let nature energies fill you with empowering and strong energy. There is beauty all around us.
- Learn techniques with crystalline Earth energies and essential to ground and center into your strength. I share these in my Basic and Advanced Crystal Energy classes that are coming up!
- And when things look really scary, just remind yourself that the outdated has always collapsed to make way for the new.

There are many different things that you can do to release the old and center into your strength. What works for me is working with crystalline energies, essential oils and learning what is happening from a spiritual perspective.

When you focus your attention on learning what to do, you will feel more empowered and in control of your life.

Timelines are Splitting

January 30, 2026 by Allie Phillips

We are at unprecedented times in our history as timelines are splitting. It may seem overwhelming at times as we are in the heart of the energy shift.

I want to share what I have been discussing in my classes and communities for several years because it may help you navigate current energies and a current split that I am seeing.

I have always supported people in having their own beliefs and when it feels right old programmed beliefs will fall away through inner work and inner stillness. I talk about this in my 12-part series Soul Integration Journey. You can join that immersion event at any time.

If you follow any spiritual people on social media or taken any classes, you may be hearing about timelines and how they are collapsing and splitting.

What the heck does that mean?

A timeline is your inner frequency playing out in the life path you are walking.

So your life and how you view it right now is your current timeline.

In the past, many people walked the same path and life played out similarly to others in your community.

Then timelines started splitting because 2 people would witness the same thing and have different responses … truth was different. It is playing out in our world through divisiveness.

Now timelines are coallapsing because old beliefs are dying and timelines are splitting even more so that they are not remotely close to each other.

Think of a timeline like a page in a book. The book of life has MANY pages and instead of the book being closed with all of the pages stuck together (timelines being aligned), the book is open and the pages have separated.

Do you look at your life and the world around you and it looks nothing like it did 10 years ago?

If you are a person who loves to learn and expand your knowledge, your past timeline has collapsed as old beliefs dissolved from your inner growth. And your timeline continues to shift as you continue to evolve and grow.

What I am seeing now are timeline splits within communities that were once cohesive with people on the same timeline. Maybe it’s a religious community, spiritual, wellness, fitness, cooking, business, etc.

There is a timeline split in the spiritual & wellness communities and this is how it’s playing out.

I am seeing spiritual & wellness influencers call out and shame everyone who is not publicly announcing where they stand on current events.

I have a few words about that because it’s creating a timeline split in these communities that should know better. Not a split in beliefs; rather, a divide in how to respond, if at all. For some who may not feel safe publicly offering their personal positions, it is creating nervous system dysfunction fueled by shame or fear. They are being called out by name, by brand, or simply being called names online for not doing what someone else feels is the right thing to do. The people insisting on public announcements are engaging in spiritual bypassing by insisting that their way is the only way.

In my Sacred Shift community I recently talked about how the energies are pushing all of us (influencer or not) into action but that it will be different for everyone. Here’s how I explained it:

Physical action – these are people who are passionate about gathering people together to peacefully protest, step in the way of harm to help someone, gather signatures, work at voting sites, and the people who put their life on the line for what they believe in. In the spiritual world, these are the Indigo lightworkers and they came here to look at the dark and transmute it even if it means getting harmed or losing their life. It’s a soul choice, not necessarily a conscious choice and it was my choice many years ago when I was a prosecutor and lobbyist.
Emotional action – these are the people who are a safe space for others because they vibrate kindness and acceptance, they sit with you, talk with you, hold space for you, and can be in community with you because they are in control of their emotions and can regulate their emotions while helping you to do the same. These are not just empaths (because most empaths use that label as an excuse to not do the inner work); these people who have done their inner work and are keenly aware of other people’s raw emotions when they speak or post online. These are people who find the right messages and words to say that can be heard without insulting, shaming or intentionally triggering. Those messages shift the collective energy. These are the Crystal Lightworkers because they ooze love and light BUT they hold space for negative emotions to surface because only being love and light is spiritual bypassing and gaslighting. That’s a whole different topic that I will address later. I offer this in all of my classes and communities.
Mental action – these are the people who bring people together, online or around the kitchen table, to share thoughts, not drop into emotions; to discuss action steps, to learn, to expand their mind. They are public in what they think. This is more thought-based and mindset focused while helping people understand their beliefs, past programming and conditioning (which was done to help you feel safe at a time), and the narrow distortions that create blind spots. Many of these people are Starseeds, ancient souls here to help guide humanity. I also offer this in all of my classes and communities.
Spiritual action – these are the people who bring people together to look behind the veil of “reality” to understand their spiritual path, the energy shift, what is happening, why it’s happening, and helping them with tools to stay grounded in the light. Again, I offer this in all of my classes and communities.

You get to decide what action is best for you You get to decide which action is best suited for you. Bullying and shaming people into one form of action may not be your path.

It is not for anyone, especially an influencer, to tell you your path. Because what actually makes them an influencer other than the number of people who follow them?

Think about those 2 words: Follower conjures the image of a devotee blindly tagging behind someone to be a part of a group. Whereas Influencer is someone who feels they can tell you what to think, believe, do or buy usually because of the number of followers they have and not necessarily because of their skills and credentials.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be a follower OR an influencer. My soul and your soul are here to experience what it means to be human and that is different for everyone.

I post on social media, teach classes, offer informational content because that is my timeline. And what I offer changes as my timeline shifts.

So as I watch the spiritual and wellness communities (and other communities) split apart in a shaming spiral, my advice is to stay grounded in who you are while raising your frequency. And be cautious who you follow (online, in books, classes, etc.) because their vibration will impact yours. Learn from those who instill hope rather than fear.

As hard as it is, I’m watching the collapse of many timelines, I’m sitting with it in curiosity of what will replace it after it all burns down and I’m contributing to the elevated energies by understanding how I individually contribute to it all.

Lessons from a GenXer on how to Thrive through Economic Uncertainty

April 11, 2025June 8, 2025 by Allie Phillips

Lessons from a GenXer on thriving in a recession I am seeing a lot of pleas for help on social media from younger generations asking GenXers for advice on how to survive the current tariff war, rising prices, layoffs and possible recession. As your GenX sister, I would love to share my perspective on how to thrive through economic uncertainty because I’ve been there, done that and it made me stronger.

As a GenXer who went through the 2007-09 recession, as well as the COVID recession while being self-employed, I have also lived my entire life through chronic recessions. Since I was born in 1966, I have lived through 8 recessions. GenXers cut their teeth in recessions, we grew up in recessions, we received our education through recessions, we started our careers in recessions, we were laid off in recessions, and we thrived during recessions. The one thing that held me through all of the ups and downs: I did not panic and did not drop into fear. I truly believed All is well and everything always works out for the best. And it does.

Let me share a few lessons to help you navigate current events

First lesson

Did you know that Americans have survived 34 recessions since 1857? We survived those and we will survive this one. Keep current events in perspective because the U.S. economy is always a roller coaster. When you can stay grounded rather than getting swept up in hysteria, you will ride the roller coaster with ease. And if you have any spare money to invest (with the help of a financial advisor), this is how the wealthy become wealthier.

Second lesson

With endless news and social media, it can be difficult to escape from information unless you stick your head in the sand. Follow the principle of observe, don’t absorb. I limit my news consumption to 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening just to stay informed, but not get sucked in to the negative programming. Make sure it is a neutral news source that does not engage in opinion journalism or hype. I also recommend limiting your time on social media unless you have configured your algorithm to feed you inspiring posts that help you grow. Bring on the cat videos!

Too much time online will negatively impact your nervous system and create a host of physical, emotional and mental health issues. This approach will help you observe what is happening, but not absorb the energy of the negative programming. Think of it like this: Imagine you are living on an island without access to any news or information. Would you be anxious or fearful about the economy and world events? Nope! You would have no idea of what is happening. Fear and anger are energies that weaken you and contribute to poor decision making. When you can observe through detachment and not absorb other people’s emotions you will find your personal balance between knowing just enough and then letting the rest go.

Third lesson

Current events are different than the 2007-09 recession. While there were mass layoffs from the collapse of many industries (construction, manufacturing, auto, real estate, banking), price of goods did not skyrocket. So if you had income, you just kept living normally. During that recession I was in charge of a public policy legislative office outside of Washington DC and I did not change anything about my life. I continued normal spending which helped to stimulate the economy. So if you have income, keep spending what you have budgeted. In this time you will learn to buy smart.

The Great Depression (1929-33) involved extensive tariffs like current times. I remember my mom (who was a master genealogist and US/World History teacher) telling me how my grandparents survived through simplicity and taking on extra work when available. During these times I practice simplicity which means buying what I need (food and paying bills) and buying what brings me joy (books, crystals, day trips to Lake Michigan or 2-night mini vacations within driving distance). There is a reason that retail therapy feels so good. Set a budget for what you need and what brings you joy and stick to it. Because filling your life with joy is THE antidote to the fear of the economic turbulence.

Also think about side work that you can do from home or online. What are you good at? Do you have unique information to share with others? What things that your friends ask your advice on? That’s where you can earn side income.

Fourth lesson

When it comes to simplicity, one area where you can simplify, save money and improve your health is in the food you buy. As a Certified Health Coach, I recommend only shopping the perimeter of your grocery store. That is where “real” food is found. When you shop the interior, you are buying heavily processed foods that, in reality, are not real food and will contribute to health issues. You also pay more for processed foods because you are paying for the processing. Homemade meals always cost less.

I learned this lesson when I was a law student working full time and going to law school at night. Each weekend was an assembly line of making bulk lunch and dinners for the week that I would take to work with me. Five dinners in a row of turkey, mashed potatoes and broccoli cost much less than pre-packaged meals! I still eat this was to this day. Stock up on bags of rice, dried beans, frozen veggies, and spices and you can make an endless variety of healthy meals. Go online and find recipes! This will help you save money and stay healthy because stress will destroy the body if not kept in check.

Fifth lesson

Mind your mindset. If you allow your thoughts to doom scroll social media, get sucked into negative news programming, and go down an anxious fearful rabbit hole, you will not be able to make good decisions. Those anxious and fear-based thoughts will also cause sleeplessness, aches and pains, digestive issues, headaches, relationship issues, and the list goes on.

It is vitally important that you focus on finding joy throughout your day. What can you do that brings you joy? Is it your morning coffee ritual? Drawing a card from an oracle card desk? Exercising? A walk in nature? Every day, do what brings you joy.

If you want to stop a runaway thought quickly, smell a pure essential oil. Essential oils rewire the neural pathways by signaling the olfactory system which stimulates the brain to secrete serotonin and dopamine (the feel good hormones). This research article summarizes a group of studies that prove it.

What essential oils can help?

Use what you have, but make sure they are truly pure and not fragrance oils. Essential oils like Bergamot, Chamomile, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Orange, Patchouli and Rose are my favorites for calming and clearing negative thoughts.

If you want to learn more, check out my Nervous System & Vagus Nerve Reset on-demand immersion event or watch my free on-demand class on Essential Oils for Emotional Energetic Wellness.

Sixth lesson

Shift your frequency. Did you know that crystals actually work on your frequency to ground and calm anxious energy and raise your frequency above the chaos? I teach the science of how that works in my crystal classes. Here’s the short story: Crystals come from the Earth and contain the healing frequency of Earth and nature. Our body and energy field is simply energy. Energy can be transformed and transmuted. And our DNA is constantly surveilling surroundings and will reshape to frequencies it encounters. This is why when you are around your complaining toxic friend, you walk away feeling worse. And it’s why you are drawn to touch crystals. Crystals work on physics principles and help us to stay in frequency alignment.

What crystals can help?

Here are a few recommendations of crystals to carry in your pocket throughout the day, hold in your hands to quiet your mind, or lay on your body at the end of the day:

Grounding and calming = Black Tourmaline, Blue Lace Agate, Hematite, Smoky Quartz
Raise your frequency above chaos = Apophyllite, Citrine, Clear Quartz, Herkimer Diamonds, Himalayan Quartz, Selenite
Dual purpose grounding & raising frequency = Amethyst, Auralite 23, Labradorite, Rutilated Quartz

If you are not sure how to work with crystals, check out my free Introduction to Crystal Healing class where I give specific crystal recommendations to transmute negative emotions like anger, depression, fear. Or get my Guided Crystal Journal that is 100+ pages of crystal education, crystal journeys to explore, 160 crystal descriptions, and 40 pages to journal your crystal experiences and create a daily crystal habit.

Seventh lesson

Difficult times breed expansion of your soul. No one grows without a little pain. We know this from Diamonds that are only created under extreme physical pressure. During these times you may discover that you have a gift to share with the world that can earn you extra income or shift you onto a more aligned career path.

You may take a class, read a book/blog, listen to a creator who teaches you something that you put your unique energetic imprint on and share with the world. That is what a lot of people did during COVID and they created financial abundance out of a difficult time. Go through this time with THAT mindset and watch how you thrive. This is how I moved from a stressed out full-time attorney to a thriving full-time energy wellness business owner.

Follow my social media pages as I am always posting about how to thrive during these times.

From a GenXer who has lived my entire life through the ups and downs of the economy, my best advice is to stay calm, don’t get sucked into negative news, stay away from anything or anyone that creates fear or anxiety, and allow this time to transform you into the amazing human being that you are here to be.

Do not look at this as something to survive; instead, look at current events as an opportunity for you to thrive. I have done it, and you can too.

Yours in peace,

Techniques to Thrive during Chaos and Upheaval

March 6, 2025March 6, 2025 by Allie Phillips

Learn techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval

Are you craving techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval? Yah, me too! Whether you fully understand what is happening in the energy shift, it is undeniable that chaos and upheaval not only knocked at our door, but it came inside and made itself comfortable in our home. If you are interested in learning some techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval, stay connected to me (social media, newsletter, classes) and keep reading.

I have been tracking and teaching about the energy shift since I started my business in April 2011. This shift has been going on for some time (even before 2011) and over the years it felt more like a slow drip of change. Slow drips are good when it comes to transformation because it allows us to make small shifts that result in big changes.

However, the energies now feel like a fire hose. This intensity can bubble up a lot of fear, anger, agitation, frustration, uncertainty, and rage.

What is really happening in the energy shift?

It would take me days to fully explain what is happening and this is what I deep dive into each month in my Sacred Shift community (enrollment opens in May if you want to join us).

The short story is that Earth is evolving and humans (and animals) are along for the ride. Earth is always evolving and upgrading like she has for billions of years. Humans are also going through an evolution and upgrade like we have for thousands of years. But we now have the ability for instant news and sharing that our ancestors did not have so chaos and stress spreads instantly. Additionally we are experiencing deep fluctuations and increases in the frequency of Earth (Schumann Resonance), solar flares which bubble up anger (2025-26 solar maximum), planetary movements (Pluto moving into Aquarius where it will stay until 2043 and the last time it was in this position was during the American & French Revolutions), and the collective human frequency (more fear-based in recent years).

As humans, we are vulnerable to shifting frequencies because we are made mostly of water. So are our animals. Water can be structured (changed) when exposed to frequencies, including spoken words. Check out Dr. Masaru Emoto’s scientific experiences with water.

Who will feel uncomfortable in these energy shifts?

People who are ungrounded. When you are ungrounded you may experience anxiety, depression, emotional imbalance, are easily distracted, and become stuck in a loop of discomfort and negativity. This discomfort may come out as anger, fear, rage, judgment, and sometimes violent behavior.

Who are flowing and thriving with these energies?

People who are grounded while simultaneously raising their frequency. When you are grounded you can calm your mind and be present, are emotionally stable, self-aware, have an open mind, are balanced and moving forward in life. When you can also raise your frequency you are able to elevate your mindset out of negative thinking to find solutions from a different perspective because you have been working on your core beliefs, inner programming, inner emotional healing, and are open-minded to learning. Spoiler alert: My top 2 techniques for grounding and raising frequency involve crystals and essential oils!

When you have the tools and techniques to support you, you are able to handle the shifts with ease. Think of it like riding a rollercoaster: the ungrounded are not belted in and are screaming out fear, whereas the grounded are fully belted in and are screaming out of exhilaration with the ups and downs.

The contrast is intense

The shift is giving us an opportunity to elevate how we think about life by fire hosing with contrast to help us shift faster. Contrast is where we have a negative experience which gives us clarity on what we really want.

Can we keep living with the division and violence that plagues our communities? NOPE!
Can we keep living at the breakneck speed of busyness? NOPE!
Can we keep working in toxic harmful environments because we have been taught to stay or we feel that we have too many years of service to leave? NOPE!
Can we keep staying in toxic relationships because we are too polite to set boundaries? NOPE!
Can we keep putting off our dreams because we allow other people and situations to have more space in our life than we actually allow for ourself? NOPE!
Can we keep consuming toxic food, toxic drinks, toxic air, toxic online content, toxic friends and family, and our own toxic thoughts? NOPE!
Can we keep putting everything and everyone above our own physical, emotional and mental wellness? NOPE!

When you start working to bring out the best version of you, you will flow with the energy shift.

My Favorite Techniques to Thrive in Chaos

Disconnect from news and social media. Too much time on mainstream negative news and social media will take a toll. Our brain is not built to handle constant information overload, especially when the information is manufactured chaos and events that conjure fear. Stay informed by observing but not absorbing. Set time limits to be informed – like 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes in the evening from an independent source that is not full of emotional opinions. For social media, avoid anything divisive or fearful (even for 2 seconds) and “unfollowing” (Facebook) or click “not interested” (TikTok) so that you see less of what you don’t want. Follow people who teach you something of value, inspire you, leave you feeling better – avoid those who spread fear and misinformation. Do not intentionally dive into chaos and fear energy online – this is totally in your control.
Disconnect from negative people. The energy of a negative person, or someone you do not resonate with, will wear you down. Other people’s chaos and fear will rub off on you. Physically you will feel fatigued around them, emotionally you may shut down or feel angry, and mentally they drain you. If you can fully disconnect from this person, please do that. If it is a boss, coworker, or family member, be intentional in limiting time with them. After time with them, immediately connect with an uplifting person or do something joyful to raise your energy.
Spend time in nature. Do you resonate with water, forests, mountains, sunny days, windy days? All of these nature elements have a healing component. Water helps you flow and dream; forests help to ground and calm; mountains give you strength; sun increases vitality and happiness; and the wind is purifying and cleansing. Every day, or as often as you can, spend time in nature. Go for a walk in a wooded area, bask in the sun, sit underneath a tree, walk through a nursery to enjoy flowers and plants. This will also keep you connected to the Earth to handle the shifting frequencies easier.
Daily self-care rituals. What can you do in the quiet of your home that is a nurturing self-care ritual? I like morning rituals because they set the energy for the day. The days that I do not engage in my morning ritual, I feel off all day. Make it easy and something that you look forward to doing. Maybe it involves deep stretching for a few minutes, journaling, reciting affirmations or what you are grateful for, smelling and topically essential oils to set your frequency for the day, selecting crystals to carry with you during the day or meditating with crystals, listening to soothing frequency music in the morning rather than the news, making a hot cup of tea or coffee, or working it out at the gym. Rituals are solely for you, it will nurture your soul and melt away stress, fear and negative emotions.
Meditate daily. The human brain is on overload and needs quiet time outside of sleeping. When you consistently quiet your mind, even just 5-10 minutes a day, you will have increased intuition and notice positive changes. If you struggle to quiet your mind, focusing on your breathing, stare into something like a beautiful crystal, a candle or fireplace, or go on a walking meditation in nature (so long as it’s quiet with no other people around). I spend a lot of time walking the beaches of Lake Michigan and it has been life changing. Calming your thoughts through meditation will help you elevate about the energy of chaos and stress.
Work on your intuition. We all have intuition but busyness and numbing activities (doom scrolling social media, constant noise thru TV-music-phone, binge watching TV, unhealthy habits, busyness) will shut the door on your natural intuition. Give yourself downtime every day to quiet your mind and listen. Once you get into the practice, you will get the ideas, whispers and nudges throughout the day. And when those happen, listen and take action. Intuition is always supportive (go for it!) whereas your ego mind is limiting and critical (that will be a disaster). When you let your intuition guide you, it will move you away from chaos.
Discern truth. When you are working on opening your intuition, it will also help you discern truth. One technique that I love to teach is the postural sway method. Stand up with your feet hip width apart. Ask yourself a question where the answer is yes (like, is my name Allie?) and your body should lean forward slightly. Then ask a question where the answer is no and your body should lean back slightly, Now you know what your “yes” and “no” are. When you have a question, or hear/read something and are not sure if it’s true, just do this technique. This will help you quickly dismiss chaos and shift back to joy.
Keep an open mind to learn something new. When I started learning about energy laws and healing, my life and work took a dramatic turn for the better. With each topic I learned about, it opened another door like a domino effect. It was empowering! When you feel empowered, chaos and stress cannot live in your home.
Work on your mindset. If your thoughts default to why you can’t do something or to disempowering thoughts, find a teacher or mentor who can help. Read the books, take the classes, follow the right people online. I infuse mindset techniques in almost everything I teach and when you decide to shift this, the results are dramatic because you will realize how powerful you really are no matter what is happening outside of you.
Connect with uplifting people. Clubs and community groups are a wonderful way to connect with people with similar interests. Being with like-minded people, rather than isolating, during chaos and stressful times will keep you resilient. If your community does not have a club that you would like to join, create one and friends who would be interested. Meeting together in-person involving something joyful is one of the best ways to thrive during chaos. Just make sure the gathering does not dip into complaining about the chaos.

Just remember that chaos energy loves to feed on fear – let’s starve it of fearful oxygen to calm it down.

Yours in peace,

One simple way to protect yourself from negative energies

January 4, 2023April 13, 2025 by Allie Phillips

Do you need to protection yourself from negative energies? Do you feel your energy drain when you are in certain environments (like a workplace or in crowds) or around certain people (like your friend who constantly complains)?

You are not alone.

When people are filled with negative emotions, stress, and complain their energy will seep into the environment and your fragile energy field and make you feel the same way. I call these “energy vampires” because the energy will literally suck the good energy out of you. Most people don’t consciously decide to be an energy vampire, and they don’t even know they are doing it. It is subconscious and energetic. But these people also are not working on improving their energy so they end up spewing it all over anyone within 50 feet.

Your energy can also drain from unseen energies like EMFs and WiFi. This is why most office workers (especially those in cubicles without windows) are depleted at the end of the day, whereas people who work outside or at home are energized. #thankyouhomebasedbusiness

What happens when you are surrounded by negative energy frequencies throughout the day?

You feel exhausted, drained, cranky, angry, depressed, sad, anxious, nervous, uncertain, pessimistic, unmotivated, stuck, self-loathing … and all of this spills over into all parts of your life.

How can you protect yourself from negative energies?

Put crystals in your pocket, your bra (oh yes, it works!), wear a bracelet, or put one on your forehead when you get home. You will also need crystals between you and your computer and I teach in my Basic class what crystals should NEVER EVER EVER be near technology. My favorite for protection is Black Tourmaline because I have used an EMF meter to test how it blocks EMFs.

It can be that simple.

I’ve been an Advanced Crystal Master Teacher for 10 years and love to share powerful and unique information about how crystals really work. I am not teaching the old regurgitated information found in most crystal books; I take you deeper to help you really understand and you won’t have to constantly consult a crystal book for help. You will be empowered!

When you get a deep understanding of how crystals work scientifically and energetically, you can intentionally work with them to stop the downward cycle of negative energy and get into a raised vibrational space. When this happens, you will physically feel stronger, more emotionally balanced, mentally focused and spiritually you find answers you have been seeking.

It may sound woo woo, but it’s not.

I teach about crystals in a really unique way so that your logical left brain and creative right brain both understand that crystals are more than pretty little stones.

If you have crystals, if you’re curious about crystals, and if you’re ready to start the New Year learning how to take care of your precious vibrational energy field, I want to invite you to join my upcoming crystal classes. I teach the Basic class 3 times a year, and the rest only twice a year.

Is 5G and EMF protection possible?

January 6, 2022April 13, 2025 by Allie Phillips

I’m concerned

A news story caught my eye this week about the full 5G rollout by 2 major cellular phone carriers this month. And not in a good way. So I went to my toolbox to figure out if 5G and EMF protection is possible.

I am the furtherest from a conspiracy theorist. My law school education and attorney career trained me question everything and do my own research ever since I entered a law classroom in August 1990.

When I saw news coverage about the airline industry pushing back on the rollout, all my red flags went up. While the airline industry is looking at it from the perspective that 5G technology may interfere with aircraft electronics, I’m looking at whether it is interfering with us at a cellular and DNA level.

This article from the Karelian Heritage business explains how 5G is different than electro-magnetic frequencies and traditional WiFi. 5G only travels small distances (about 150 meters) which is why there are and will be so many towers. That concerns me.

I read an article last week from a doctor who outlined how humans are far sicker now because of the diseases and ailments that are filling up hospitals that never happened 40 years ago. (I forgot to save it and now can’t find it.) Why is that?

My lawyer brain has been putting these pieces together for years and I don’t like what the puzzle shows. As a society with medical advancements, we should be getting healthier. But we are getting sicker and sicker each year and much of it cannot be explained or prevented.

What’s going on? I don’t know, but I know about vibrational frequencies so I’m looking at health and wellness from that perspective now.

Because I understand energetic vibrational frequencies, and knowing that everything that has ever been created and existed was made up of frequencies, I am concerned what these invisible frequencies are doing to our body at a cellular and DNA level. Is it wearing us down to where we can’t even fight off basic viruses and diseases?

When I read this 2011 report from the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer labeling radio frequency electromagnetic fields as being possibly carcinogenic, and knowing we now cannot get away from all of the unseen frequencies the surround us 24/7, what can we do?

I am not here to speculate or go down the conspiracy rabbit hole. Instead, I would rather give some recommendations on what I am doing. And I will continue to update this as I research proven techniques.

What does the research say?

Did you know that crystals really can block and transmute EMF? — *Shungite and Black Tourmaline crystals*

For years I have researched ways that we can protect ourselves from unseen frequencies, short of wearing a tin foil hat. There are a LOT of crazy claims being made about products being sold. They may work but I’m not sold on them because claims are made without proof.

And I like proof, not fluff.

Shungite

There’s a lot of talk about the protection offered by the crystal Shungite. So I did some research.

I know that crystals have a physical benefit to our body. Dr. Bruce Lipton, in The Biology Belief, talks about how our DNA has antennas that are constantly adjusting themselves to their surroundings. I would rather have my DNA adjusting to crystals than unseen frequencies.

Shungite, only found in the Karelia region of Russia, may be the protection we are seeking. It has the best natural source of fullerenes (a carbon-based molecular formation) which are antioxidants that create a coat of armor around our cells and aids in EMF protection. Make sure you have Type 1 Noble or Elite Shungite (there are 3 types and I go into detail about them in my Advanced Crystal Healing class). Elite Shungite has the most carbon which is important for the fullerenes benefit when it is placed in water to drink.

Message me if you would like to purchase Elite Shungite from my private crystal store.

Shungite crystal can transmute EMFs. — *Shungite phone or computer patch*

Check out these articles if you like to geek out on Shungite research like I do:

WebMD has an article about Shungite and comes to the conclusion that Shungite is a safe complimentary medical therapy
This study showed that shielding the body with Shungite decreased the severity of damage produced by high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.
This study showed that Shungite has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action against UVB-induced skin damage.
Fullerenes (naturally found in Shungite) were discovered in 1996 by scientists Robert Curl, Richard Smalley & Harold Kroto and they won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their discovery.
Fullerenes, which are found in shungite, are a type of carbon nanostructure (CNS). CNSs are different physical forms of carbon. According to a 2017 review of studies, CNSs can destroy harmful pathogens. They reportedly work by damaging the cell walls of bacteria and viruses. Additionally, when CNSs interact with microbes, the microbes lose electrons and die. Woah!
This report describes how Shungite is an oxidatively modified carbon and is an efficient material for removing radionuclides (radioactive nuclides) from water. Another woah!!!

Black Tourmaline

Crystals that are iron- and aluminum-based can help to transmute unseen frequencies into beneficial frequencies. Think of this crystal as a Coat of Armor for your home and body! Iron and Aluminum absorb electromagnetic frequencies and transmute (or harmonize) the energy

Black Tourmaline is pyroelectric which means it transforms one type of energy to another type of energy and polarizes negatively and positively charged atoms. It is also piezoelectric which means it can produce an electrical charge. Without getting too geeky these explain why Black Tourmaline is beneficial for attracting the EMFs and grounding them, and beneficial for protecting our energy field and the energy in our home

Check out this study found that Tourmaline crystals can increase leukocyte functions, white blood cells that are responsible for protecting your body from infection. WOW!

UPDATE January 20, 2022: I have been working with an EMF radiation detector device since publishing this blog. The detector has shown that Shungite and Black Tourmaline drastically diminish the electrical field output of microwaves, computers, smart phones, TVs, and anything that is plugged in. WOW!

Earthing

My methods to protect myself from EMFs. — *Earthing at Loch Lochy (Scotland)*

When you connect to the Earth with your bare feet it creates an electron exchange that is anti-inflammatory, calming and de-stressing. There’s quite a bit of science behind this and here’s one study that explains how it works and how it can protect us from degenerative diseases.

We know it works because when we walk on the beach or in the woods we feel calm. When it is too freezing to put your feet on the ground, put essential oils made from trees on the bottom of your feet (like Black Spruce, Blue Spruce, Cedarwood, Cypress or the Grounding blend) and/or hold or wear a calming crystal like Black Tourmaline, Shungite, Blue Lace Agate, or Amethyst.

Here’s what I do

1. I place Shungite and Black Tourmaline around my home. It’s in the 4 corners of the main floor of my home to ground it. It’s on top of my WiFi router, in between me and my computer, and in front of my TV. I have a Shungite patch on my smart phone and computer, I wear as jewelry, and I drink Shungite water (don’t drink Black Tourmaline water).

2. Grounding. Keeping myself grounded to Earth is important. VibesUp has some great products that are meant to help with grounding. Click here to check out the products (this is an affiliate link because I have done my due diligence for you in researching this supplier). The EMF/Electronic Toxins page has ALL of the things we should have, including EMF protection pads to go under our pet’s food and water bowls! Brilliant!

3. Cell Phone. Do not wear it on your body. And when talking do not put it up to your ear, use the speaker option. Remove from your bedroom at night or turn off WiFi if you use it at an alarm. Place a Shungite or Black Tourmaline grounding patch on the back of your phone.

4. If you have a smart utility meter on your home, put Shungite and/or Black Tourmaline inside your home where the meter is connected. Remove all beds (ro pets and people) from that area and surround it with crystals.

Crystals to protect yourself from EMFs. — *Shungite with Grounding essential oil blend for topical application*

5. I topically apply grounding essential oils to my body daily, including on the bottom of my feet and forehead before bedtime (you’ll sleep great)! If you put chips of Shungite in a roller bottle with grounding oils, that is DOUBLE the protection benefit!

6. And eat a really healthy organic whole foods diet that nourishes your body with life rather than dead processed food.

While we may not know the exact protection we are getting from being proactive, just knowing that we are doing something will help ease fears and feel better.

If you have other ideas or other products that have proven science behind them, please leave a comment so I can check them out!

August is the Month to Feel Your Best: Lion’s Gate Energy

August 4, 2021 by Allie Phillips

August is the Feel Good Month because there is an energy about August that is supporting all of us to feel our best.

August enjoys the power of the Sun encouraging us all to shine
August has the power and strength of Leo energy to give us natural energy, get us moving, motivated and hear us ROAR
August is a month where you are encouraged to take a long weekend or a vacation which allows you to reconnect with who you really are (and you are not your 8-5 job)
August is a month where you are prompted to get outside for Fun in the Sun which is what cats like to do
August is a month to infuse your body with natural Vitamin D3 from the Sun
August is a month where you are prepping your body-mind-spirit for the upcoming darker Winter months (in the northern hemisphere)
And August is the month of the Lion’s Gate energy

The Lion’s Gate Energy is open from July 28 – August 12 with the height being on August 8 (the 8/8 portal).

If you were born under the Leo astrology sign, you may be feeling your absolute best right now. Leo’s are ruled by the power of the Sun and it’s your time to Shine! It’s an awesome fiery energy of motivation and inspiration. I’m a Leo with my birthday at the height of this energy and I FEEL IT! (And no wonder I love cats of all sizes)!

But maybe you’re feeling fatigued, achy, fearful, anxious, and all the negative feels.

This is a high frequency energy portal that combines the Sun in its home sign of Leo, the star Sirius rising in the skies (which becomes visible around August 8), and the numerological auspicious meaning of the number 8/8. Add to that a New Moon on August 8 in the sign of Leo. Collectively it is creating a vibration with an auspicious energy.

This is what makes August 8 a particularly lucky day for manifesting success and turning your dreams into reality.

The 88 in numerology also represents DNA activations and we receive light codes on this day from Sirius which is our spiritual sun. It’s a bold energy of new beginnings, highlighting what’s unique about you, your creative powers, it’s a very lucky day filled with inner child energy because Leo’s love to play … we are cat energy!

If you’re thinking, “Allie, I don’t feel any of that. I feel the exact opposite. What’s wrong with me?” Nothing is wrong with you. These upgrades can feel like crap. When you know what is happening, you will ride the energy much better.

But here’s something to think about:

How you feel in this energy is related to your mindset, where you are energetically, and whether you relate more to the energy of the 3rd, 4th or 5th dimensions currently on Earth.

So where are you with all of that?

Here’s what can help right now in the Lion’s Gate energy:

Be like a cat (rest, relax, lay in yoga positions, play, bask in the sun)
Soak in the energy of the Sun because it’s energizing and happy
Get out and play
Stay away from negativity
Write down your intentions, dreams and goals that will take you to the 2022 Lion’s Gate
My favorite essential oils for this Lion’s Gate and Leo season are Young Living’s Rise Above or Magnify Your Purpose oil blends. Rise Above blend can help you create an environment where you can transform negative thoughts into positive and motivating intentions, open up to new ideas, can be used to transform old thoughts that hold you back, so you can rise above to help achieve your soul’s true purpose. Magnify Your Purpose blend helps when goals are not manifesting and you need to shift your energy in how you talk about or believe in your goals (shift from getting to giving). This blend busts thru the energy blocks to release procrastination, fear and get us moving forward.

My crystal of choice is Stella Beam Calcite, a high vibrational stone of motivation to break old patterns and move forward in new energy.

August is a beautiful month to raise your energy and vibration as high as you can which will then hold you well into the Fall and Winter season.

If your pet could talk

July 10, 2021 by Allie Phillips

If your pet could talk, what would s/he say to you?

I’m nervous
I’m anxious
I’m afraid
I’m stressed by the new baby/new pet/new person in our home
I’m having digestive issues
I’m having itchy skin
I’m having problems with my food
I’m not happy with my litter box
Thank you for giving me a home … I love you so much

We want the best for our 4-legged (and feathered) family, right? We would do anything for them. We do our best to feed them the healthiest species-appropriate food. We hire pet sitters, doggy day care facilities, groomers, trainers, behaviorists. We buy them birthday gifts, holiday gifts, celebrate their adoption anniversary.

Sometimes we do not realize that the loving home we provide for our pet is not the healthiest environment. The air in our homes can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside. And the emotional energy can be toxic as well.

There are some easy things that you can do to create a healthy non-toxic environment for your pet.

Use a plant-based all-natural cleaner in your home. Pets walk all over everything, right? And then they lick their paws. So if you’re not willing to lick your cleaners, then a change is needed. This is what I use.
Remove chemically-filled toxic candles, plug-ins, sprays and aerosols and switch them out to diffuse pet-safe essential oils. I only recommend Young Living essential oils because other brands do not promote their oils to be used with pets.

*Stella enjoys her naturally cleaned blanket.*

Clean bedding and toys in a plant-based all-natural laundry soap. Most “green” laundry products contain harmful ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This is what I use because my cats sleep face down on their blankets.
Buy organic hand-made toys since too pet toys are made of toxic materials. Our pets put toys in their mouth so any toxins can soak in through the mucous membranes.
And other recommendations are detailed in my book The Oily Pet.

But what do you do when your dog is constantly anxious, over-reacting to the door bell, barking excessively, or the cat is vomiting or not using the litter box for no medical reason?

We instinctively know that something emotional or energetically is wrong. But we run up the veterinary bills and walk out with no answers. It’s frustrating, right?

These are the questions that I get the most. This is the focus of what I do.

I have loved animals ever since I could walk. As an attorney for the past 26 years (and former prosecuting attorney) I have dedicated my legal career to helping animal victims. I have spent over 20 years volunteering and fostering for animal shelters and rescues. And for a decade my healing business has been focused on helping people and pets transform to an energetically healthier lifestyle.

*Marni welcomes Reiki at the shelter and in a twist of fate 15 months later* *she became a burn victim and came into foster care with me to heal.*

I understand animals at an intuitive and energetic level. Pets are sensitive to human’s emotions and are highly sensitive to the changes happening to our planet.

This is what I help you understand and empower you with the tools to help your pet.

Reiki helps your pet relax because a relaxed body can repair and release blocks
Integrated Energy Therapy releases the emotional issues stored at the cellular level
Crystals work energetically at the cellular and DNA level and all energy layers
Essential oils can work rapidly on physical and behavioral imbalances so long as they are pet-safe

If you have a beloved 4-legged family member that is physically or behaviorally struggling, empower yourself by checking out my pet classes below. Your pet will thank you with snuggles and kisses!

How to Self-Motivate

June 16, 2021 by Allie Phillips

We all have moments where our motivation has gone on vacation and left us with an uninspiring to do list, right? In recent years I have noticed more people are asking me for help on how to get motivated. And in the warmer Michigan months I simply want to be at Lake Michigan all day long which can impact my motivation!!!!

We live in a stressful, distracted, information overloaded world all of which can smother our motivation. So if you struggle with motivation, you are not alone and I totally get it.

#MindsetShift: Did you know that motivation does not come from outside of you? It comes from within you.

It comes from a thought that you created, which then creates a feeling and an action and a result. Maybe the thought was “I don’t know what step to take next,” which created the feeling of discouragement, defeat, or shame, which created the action of non-action, and the result was not taking any step toward your goal and declaring “I have no motivation.”

I love to give my clients and students the example of listening to a motivational speaker. You get so ramped up with excited energy that you believe “I’m going to CRUSH THIS!!!!” You are totally on fire! And then the next day you are back to your normal life and habits, lacking motivation, and that goal you were going to achieve is sitting in a box called “Unmotivated.” So what happened?

Whether it’s a motivational speaker, a blog post, a podcast or a movie that motivates you, the motivating energy in that moment is coming from someone else. When that person is gone, it is difficult to sustain that motivated energy because it was not your energy. It is this energy that causes us to follow people on social media, listen to their podcasts or YouTube videos so that the person’s motivational energy is in our daily lives. But it’s not sustainable. Because if all you do is spend time listening to these motivational people, when do you have the time to work on your goal?

#MindsetShift: Motivation must be a fire that comes from within you.

This is why self-motivation is the goal. Otherwise you will not be able to sustain it.

So how can you self-motivate to achieve a goal?

Here are some tips that have worked for me over the years:

Change your thought about being unmotivated. I learned this process of breaking down a block from one of my amazing coaches and it REALLY works! Instead of having the thought that you are unmotivated, what if you changed it to “I know one step I can take toward achieving my goal.” That creates a feeling of empowerment and focus to take action to do that one thing. And the result is that you feel good and joyful about what you did. And then you do it over and over again. We can change our thoughts at any time … we just have to be proactive about it and decide to do it.
Make a decision and commit that you will take daily steps toward your goal. For any goal, there are usually just a few steps that must be taken daily which will compound. Write down those goals and put them in a place where you will see them daily. And then DO THEM! When you take steps based on how you are feeling or whether you have time in your schedule, it is easy to make excuses and not take the steps. When you decide and commit, you will take the steps even if you do not feel your best and have limited time. Commit to daily action! This will compound and you will find the momentum that invariably will excite you and keep the fire going. And that internal excitement of fire is motivating.
Do not worry if you have not found your why. You may think that if you have a strong “why” it will motivate you into action. While it may be partially true, I can tell you that a “why” is not the be-all and end-all to achieving a goal. There have been many goals I have successfully achieved without even thinking about the why.
Focus on what brings you joy. When you enjoy the steps toward achieving a goal, that will light the fire in you and keep you motivated. It’s self-motivation lit from within even if you have not found your why! Find the joy in the steps toward your goal and do those every day!
Change your words. Do you post about how unmotivated you are? Do you criticize and shame yourself for not being motivated? Stop that! You’re being really hard on yourself and that will throw water on your fire and zap your motivation. Speak life into your goal and into yourself. Stop yourself every time you say “I am not motivated” and change it to “I am taking a step toward my goal.” Encourage yourself with positive words because words have energy. Place your hand on your throat when you speak words and you will feel the vibrational energy. Be mindful of this. Put words and energy out of what you want, not what you don’t want.
Smell calming & focusing essential oils. Citrus oils are amazing to calm the mind and focus it at the same time. If your mind is bouncing all over the place and cannot settle down to figure out the next step, that will impact your motivation. This is when essential oils like Orange, Tangerine, and Lemon can help to calm the monkey mind so you can focus. My Young Living favorite blends are Citrus Fresh and Peace & Calming to refocus my mind and get my thoughts back on tract. And then Abundance topically applied on the bottom of my feet (to motivate my steps with an abundant mindset) and Motivation topically applied over my solar plexus and in the diffuser while I work. They really work.
Raise your frequency with self-motivating crystals like Carnelian, Citrine, and Stellar Beam Calcite are all amazing self-motivation crystals. When I am working on something and need to stay very motivated, I will sit on them. Seriously! I put them in between my legs in my office chair. Or put the crystals in your pockets or bra! Wowsa, it really works!
Stop seeking motivation outside of yourself. When you are not motivated you do not need another book, another training program, or another pep talk. You do not need to waste time scrolling through social media looking for a motivational hit or another “you can do it” post. Those will give you short-term boosts in motivation. When you can focus on motivating yourself with the suggestions listed above, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish.

So when you are feeling unmotivated, give these ideas a try to light that fire inside of you. And please post a comment to let me know what worked for you or if you have another suggestion of what helps you that may help someone else!

Essential Oils & Crystals for a Positive Mindset

May 7, 2021 by Allie Phillips

Recently my essential oil group spent a month focusing on how to shift from a negative to a positive mindset. Our inner feelings and beliefs dominate our mindset. When we can identify the underlying feeling or belief, we can then start the shift from a negative to positive mindset.

These are some of our favorite essential oils and crystals to help us shift.

Shifting from overwhelm to motivated

We live in a world with a lot of noise and information overload. It can be so much that we feel smothered and weighed down which can create apathy and numbness. These are our favorites:

Magnify Your Purpose blend = Overwhelm can set in when you have lost your purpose. Smell this oil and let it get you back on track with your purpose.
Motivation blend = This was a team favorite and the name says it all! When you smell it or diffuse it, you will be amazed at what you get done.
Sacred Mountain blend = When you can calm and ground yourself, you can begin to re-energize and move out of the mindset of overwhelm.
Crystals I love for motivation are Celestite (helps calm when overwhelmed), Clear Quartz (amplifies your energy field simply by holding it) and Stellar Beam (Dog Tooth) Calcite (very high vibrational energy to get moving).

Shifting from worry & fear to strength & courage

Worry and fear are feelings of scarcity, lack, disempowerment, panic, and despair. All you are doing is traumatizing yourself about something in the future that has not and likely will not happen. Worry stores in the stomach as powerlessness and fear stores in the kidneys. These emotions will lower you in to a frequency where dis-ease can take root. So don’t go there! These are our favorites:

Valor blend = When we worry and are consumed with fear, we simply need to find our confidence and courage. Valor helps to shift your energy to get back on track.
Abundance blend = Abundance is an energy and mindset. It is about shifting to see all that you have in your life and that your glass is overflowing! When you see that, fear and worry melt away.
Present Time blend = When you are present, everything is perfect in that moment. Do not let your mindset get stuck in the past or worried and afraid of the future. This is a very calming blend that really helps to focus on being present.
Crystals I love for courage are Black Tourmaline (grounding and strength), Celestite (releases negative patterns of fear and worry) and Dumortierite (calming strength and courage).

Shifting from anger to forgiveness

Have you felt a lot of anger floating around in the air? Sometimes the anger that gets into our energy is actually not our own. But it still can still cause havoc in our body. Anger stores itself in our liver, and resentment in the spleen. When anger is not processed it can result in bitterness, intolerance, and settle into resentment … more toxic emotions for our poor body to deal with. These are our favorites:

Release blend = When you are ready to let go of toxic feelings and mindset. Topically apply over your liver and then deeply inhale it while saying “I release all negativity from body, mind and spirit”.
Forgiveness blend = As Mark Twain said, “”Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Forgiveness is beautiful once you find it. When you smell this blend it can bring you into a higher awareness and vibrational frequency to the point where you can let go and move on. Topically apply over your heart and then deeply inhale while saying “I am thankful for life’s experiences and the lessons they teach.”
Humility blend = Humility is the step after forgiveness so that we can learn and transform. It keeps you sweet and strong no matter what is happening around you.
Crystals I love for forgiveness are Blue Lace Agate (calming), Rose Quartz (forgiving) and Rutilated Quartz (let go of the past hurts).

Shifting from loneliness to self-love

Did you know that the remedy to loneliness is self-love? Lack of self-love can come from unresolved grief and when grief is not processed and released it can lead to depression. When you are comfortable hanging out with yourself, your thoughts, and engaging in self-care and personal development during isolation, you are less likely to feel lonely. These are our favorites:

Frankincense = Simply smelling this oil can get your energy moving. It is my favorite when missing a person, pet or lifestyle, to restore faith, to ground and uplift. It is also soothing for moments of unworthiness and loneliness.
White Angelica blend = You will want to slather all over yourself (your pets). I call it the Wrapped-In-A-Warm-Blanket Oil and the All-Is-Well oil. It is like being wrapped in love. It feels protective so that you do not feel the need to isolate. I love to use it with abused and shelter pets.
Hope blend = Hope is a good start with when it comes to deep emotional healing. Because other than love, we all need hope. When you combine the energy of Melissa for those who are highly sensitive with the deep grounding and empowerment of Juniper, Myrrh and Black Spruce, you find Hope! It is my go-to for deep emotions that need to be released. It will help you keep moving forward one day at a time.
Crystals I love for self-love are Citrine (happy vibe crystal), Lepidolite (contains lithium to pull out of grief and sadness) and Rose Quartz (self-love).

And always remember … Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.
