Timelines are Splitting

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.
What a timeline shift looks like

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 youYou 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

by Allie Phillips

Lessons from a GenXer on thriving in a recessionI 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.

Learn how to thrive during economic crisis

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.

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.

Difficult times breed expansion of your soulSeventh 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.

Allow for change, be open and be flexible. Join my Sacred Shift community and deep dive into how to shift.

Need additional help or mentoring?

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.

Techniques to Thrive during Chaos and Upheaval

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.

In the energy shift, Earth is evolving and humans and animals are along for the ride.

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.

If you want to be comfortable in the energy shift, learn how to ground your energy.

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.

Allie's favorite techniques to thrive during chaos and upheaval

My Favorite Techniques to Thrive in Chaos

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

I know you are weary …

by Allie Phillips

(Updated July 4, 2026)

I know you are weary and exhausted of all that is happening in the world. No matter where you live, you may wonder, “when is this craziness going to end?”

You are not alone. I originally wrote this on July 3, 2024 and updated it on July 4, 2026 … America’s 250th Independence Day.

I am writing this because I am hearing from a lot of people that they feel like we no longer have freedoms to celebrate. This is a slightly long read so grab a glass of your favorite drink, put a pet in your lap and keep reading.

I’m seeing the weariness on people’s faces, in their lethargic actions (and non-actions), in their voice that expresses their worries for the future. I see it play out in apathy, a why-bother attitude, and hearing “I’m just one person, there’s nothing I can do.” I see people no longer planning for the future because they can only think about tomorrow. It is playing out in a control-grab for more power over how people live their lives, a deep divide in right & wrong and what people perceive as truth.

Apathy is what concerns me most. As soon as we get comfortable in apathy, that is when we lose our freedom.

This is me sitting across from you as we share a cup of coffee (or martini) and I hope you can hear this. Our ancestors did not fight the battles in our past for us to be firmly planted in apathy and let all of our freedoms slip away. Okay?

It is quite easy to disempower a person. It happens slowly, like a drip in your bathroom sink. Drip drip drip … you may not know what is happening because it’s so slow and quiet. Once it happens long enough or picks up speed, that is when you notice.  I see this in my legal work with domestic violence survivors who dismiss the mildly abusive/controlling behavior of their partner.  When it becomes extreme they have been conditioned to accept it. It’s called Learned Helplessness.

Collectively we are in Learned Helplessness.

We have been dripped on for years to tolerate the disempowerment. Little moves here and there by political and corporate leaders. Decisions from governments and courts that subtly and slowly take away our rights. The slow indoctrination of extreme beliefs and gas lighting to question what we know what is really happening. Unspeakable acts of betrayal and criminality that are now normalized and even praised as taking down “the system”. My dear, it is the system doing all of that.

When we are weary and worn down, that is when the big moves can be made and we simply do not have the strength to fight back. Big moves are now happening, boldly.

Is this resonating with you?

I look our current society from the lens of a 32-year attorney and former prosecuting attorney with a spiritual energy wellness business. It’s a unique perspective and I have a lot of interesting conversations in my brain that always start with “why is this happening now and for what reason?” This is a left brain right brain discussion I have with myself so I don’t get caught up in hysteria or conspiracy theories. I look at things from different perspectives and do not pledge loyalty to any person or institution.

For 25 years I have studied Universal Laws and the energies that we are exposed to all day long. You don’t have to believe in them; they are just there.  Just like the Law of Gravity; we may not fully understand it, but it is there. Our world is evolving. It’s an awakening that is shifting how people think and behave. This evolution has been happening for a while but it went full speed in 2020. That’s when so many people woke up and had their rose colored glasses being ripped off.

We know the evolution is happening in how we live and what we belief if we just look to the day-to-day lives of our grandparents. Life is very different now.

One part of this evolution is for outdated beliefs and behavior to bubble up to be released so that new can come in. Our history works in approximate 20-year cycles. It was written about in a book called The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe and is sometimes called the Strauss-Howe generational theory. These cycles (or turnings) are not characterized by events but instead by human reaction to them. The 4 cycles are: (1) the high, (2) the awakening, (3) the unraveling and (4) the crisis:

  • The prior 4th turning (crisis) was WW2 and the Great Depression (1925-45)
  • The 1st turning (high) was postwar boom (1946-60)
  • The 2nd turning (awakening) was the Consciousness Revolution (Woodstock, activism, laws regarding rights) (1961-81)
  • The 3rd turning (unraveling) was culture wars, distrust in public institutions & polarization begins (1982-2006)
  • And the 4th turning (crisis) is where we are now in an effort to destroy institutions, social unrest & threats everywhere (freedom, climate, financial, housing, resources, etc.) (2008-2028)

We are in the final years of the crisis turning which is why we are seeing outdated ideologies come back, a back slide in human rights and freedoms, and a growing amount of threats around us that we did not have 20 years ago. These turning points are not about what’s happening, it’s about our response. We are being tested to look that evil in the face, say hell no, and let it release.  But it probably feels more like The Hunger Games, right?

Another part of this evolution is the collapse of the old patriarchal energy and the rise of divine energy.

Some people refer to this as the control masculine patriarchy and the divine feminine. But masculine and feminine energy in this regard has nothing to do with biological gender. The divine energy is both masculine and feminine. We all have masculine and feminine traits in us. I see female politicians with very strong control masculine energy voting to take away women’s rights, and I see males with divine feminine energy showing through as kindness and compassion for all. The Barbie Movie in 2023 highlighted patriarchy throughout the entire movie and angered the patriarchal energy.

When I was a prosecutor I had to adopt a more masculine energy in order to thrive in a world dominated by men and to dodge to overt misogyny that I experienced my entire career. I would flaunt my divine feminine when I would walk a fine line around ridiculous dress codes in the courtroom and wear white and pink suits. Gosh they did not like that. Women at that time were required to wear suits with skirts, not pants.

One time I was set to start a trial and was wearing a cream colored suit with a skirt. The judge told me to go home and change into a more “appropriate” suit (which meant black, blue or grey suit). I told him no, knowing there was nothing he could do about it. I was wearing a frickin’ suit with a skirt and there was never a policy about the color of the suit.  The glare of contempt I received from that judge cut like a knife but it empowered me going forward to push back against ridiculous outdated norms. I’m proud of that young Allie, she had gumption! I have always been a rebel and have zero tolerance for anyone telling me what to do.

Patriarchal energy is about power, control, domination, deciding who has rights and who is allowed to be successful.

This is why powerful greedy corporations pay almost no taxes, yet small businesses like mine are taxed at ridiculous rates. Divine energy is about unity, compassion, love of all and everyone wins. This where I see heart-based businesses excelling in the past 10 years. Being empowered comes from strength and confidence in controlling your own life, not in controlling others. Hmmm, that also sounds like the definition of freedom.

For thousands of years our planet has been under the power of the patriarchal energy of fear, anger, war, violence, and controls what people can do. People are waking up to that and are fed up with wars, violence, anger and controlling behavior. We have slowly (drip drip drip) been evolving into the divine energy and the patriarchal energy is PEEVED about it.  This is why controlling people get SO upset with the powerful divine feminine energies of Taylor Swift, The Barbie Movie, women in power positions and women who speak up. They punish by passing laws that relate only to women and what they can do with their bodies. They are grasping for power and control like a domestic abuser blocking the door as the victim attempts to leave.

The patriarchal energy has been dripping disempowerment on us for thousands of years to where a majority of humans believe that “this is the way life is” and “there’s nothing I can do”. So they consciously or subconsciously follow the pack.  That is called apathy.

In recent years there has been a rise of the divine feminine energies and we are seeing visible signs of this through the female gender. There are more women in political positions, corporate CEOs, starting their own businesses (I have 2 businesses), speaking out, and empowering others like never before.

Here’s a few notable events of how this is playing out:

  • 1920 – women FINALLY earn the right to vote
  • 1960 – birth control pill is created to give women the right to decide when/if they want children (and many women need this to manage hormone issues)
  • 1963 – equal pay for women
  • 1974 – women earned the right to have a credit card, bank account and mortgage in their name
  • 1981 – 1st woman US Supreme Court justice
  • 1983 – 1st woman in space
  • 1984 – 1st woman on the presidential ballot as Vice President
  • 1988 – women earned the right to have a business in their name
  • 1994 – Violence Against Women’s Act signed into law to protect women from violence
  • 2007 – 1st woman to be Speaker of the House
  • 2016 – 1st woman to receive a presidential nomination
  • 2021 – 1st woman Vice President
  • 2023 – and now the downslide of freedoms as Supreme Court abolishes Roe and states begin passing laws taking away a woman’s right to control her reproduction
  • 2024 – States begin passing laws taking away a woman’s right to IVF and contraception, Supreme Court begins to dismantle federal agencies (dismantling the 40-year Chevron doctrine) and give presidential protections that have never existed

Before anyone gets in a tizzy about reproductive rights let me pose this question. If you desire freedom, do you want freedom to care for your body the best way you know how? I see a lot of hypocrisy in those who create laws regarding bodily freedom. One party believes in reproductive rights for women but mandated physical intrusions on the body during the pandemic; while the other party that is taking away reproductive rights for women yet was vehemently against any bodily intrusions during the pandemic. You can’t have it both ways; you either believe in freedom or you don’t. And these are the questions we all need to answer on what is most important.

The more that the divine rises, the more the control patriarchy is grasping its last breathe to keep control and spread mass fear. That’s what we are seeing. And I can tell you right now, only July 4 2026, the patriarchy is in the loud death rattle.

Here in the US and in many countries, we have enjoyed a foundation of freedom. Those who strap freedom across their chest and fly a flag off the back of their car while taking away rights of women & minorities are not about freedom. Real freedom is allowing people to make their own personal decisions.

If the control leaders can take away the rights of a portion of the population, they certainly can take away the rights of everyone else. No one is exempt. And when people are weary and apathy sets in, it’s easier for that to happen.

I know you are weary … I have moments of weary too.

Each day I make a choice to stay empowered and some days are easier than others. Here’s a few ideas to help you choose to stay empowered, and I would love to hear more ideas from you:

  • Understand that we are in a cycle and we will come out of this.
  • Do not stick your head in the sand. Be in the know from multiple trusted independent information sources.
  • Understand that when we vote, it is no longer about a party (and it should never ever be about a person), it should be about core values and rights that we hold dear. If you believe that one political party or one person was better for your bank account, is that more important than your freedom? How will you respond if you wake up one day and your bank accounts are gone? Freedom is the core that every human on this planet craves and should have. Think about what freedom means to you and make your decisions based on that. Economies, gas prices and food prices have gone up and down since the beginning of time and voting on that is like building a house of cards and expecting it to withstand a tornado .
  • It’s okay to change your mind. With freedom you can do that. Without freedom, you have nothing.
  • Realize that you are important and your decisions are important. You vote with every dollar you spend. Spend money with businesses that support your freedom.
  • Stay focused on the good in your life rather than focus on the bad. What we focus on becomes reality. It’s okay to rant to get the anger and rage out of you. Instead of a gratitude journal, create a burn book! Write it all out and then burn it!
  • Be vocal with your elected leaders. If they are considering legislation that takes away rights, tell them your thoughts on that. I’m a former lobbyist and your outreach is powerful. Remind them that they are elected to be the voice of their community, not impose their personal beliefs through legislation.
  • Be around uplifting people. This is why I have several spiritual communities I have created so that we have a safe space to learn about this evolution and how we can flow with it. One is called The Sacred Shift if you want to check it out.
  • Ground your energy by putting your bare feet on the ground, take a walk through a forest or along a beach. Scientifically these activities have proven calming abilities.
  • If you work with essential oils, crystals, or other healing modalities for your health and wellbeing, keep up those practices. Do not make yourself sick with worry and stress over the actions of others. You are more powerful than you may realize.
  • And please do not settle into apathy because that is how the drip drip drip has happened over many decades and brought us to where we are now.

Is 5G and EMF protection possible?

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.

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!

If your pet could talk

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!

Essential Oils & Crystals for a Positive Mindset

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.

My Team’s Favorite Essential Oils

by Allie Phillips

I recently spent a month polling my essential oil group (The Purrmaste Oils Team) about their favorite essential oil products. I am excited to share their answers with you!

What is your favorite essential oil to smell good?

  • Believe = Tanya B. loves this blend because it reminds her of the Pacific Northwest where she used to live. It’s a blend of tree oils (like Balsam Canada, Idaho Blue Spruce, and Frankincense) and floral oils (like Geranium and Ylang Ylang). It’s divine.
  • Davana = Erin M. said this oil helps her feel light, free, like a kid again! Did you know that Davana smells different on everyone because it adapts to each person’s chemistry and unique energy? I love that!
  • Geranium = Grace B. wears this as perfume. It makes her feel all dressed up for a special occasion even when she’s just going to the grocery store!
  • Joy blend = Dee H. wears this everyday because it helps her feel happy. I do, too! Joy combines citrus and floral oils that are known as happy oils. This is one of my favorites.
  • Jasmine + Neroli = Sara A. blends these two together and will sometimes add a citrus oil like Tangerine or Grapefruit, or a tree oil like Black Spruce.
  • Sacred Mountain blend = Rose H. goes for this blend because it is grounding which brings a smile to her face. This combination of tree oils like Grand Fir, Cedarwood and Black Spruce with the floral oil of Ylang Ylang makes this a team favorite.

I love to create my own essential oil diffuser blends, I took the responses and created this Smell Good Diffuser Blend. It can also be made into a roller bottle blend.

 

What is your favorite essential oil for sleep?

  • Frankincense = This was an overwhelming team favorite, especially for topical application on the head to calm the inner chatter. Everyone loves Frank at bedtime.
  • Peace & Calming blend = Rose H. loves this blend because Orange and Tangerine calm the mind, and Patchouli and Ylang Ylang bring on a soft sweetness.
  • Release blend = Several team members grab this oil when emotions and thoughts keep them awake at night. It’s amazing to release anger and frustration that can disturb sleep. It’s a blend of floral oils, citrus oils, grounding tree oils, and the powerful Blue Tansy oil that energetically kicks negative emotions to the curb.
  • Sacred Mountain blend = Margaret S. uses this blend to settle in for the night due to the tree and floral oils.
  • Sleepyize blend = Many in the team voted for this blend to diffuse it at bedtime and topically apply to the forehead. It blends calming oils like Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Sacred Frankincense, Tangerine, Rue and Valerian with sweet happy oils like Bergamot and Geranium for sweet dreams.
  • Tranquil blend = This roll-on blend of Lavender, Cedarwood, and Roman Chamomile is on my forehead every night to calm my mental to-do list. This is one of my favorites.

What is your favorite essential oil for happiness?

  • Christmas Spirit blend = I agree with Susan N. on this one. It’s a blend of Cinnamon Bark, Orange and Spruce is a fan favorite. I could (and sometimes do) diffuser it year-round! This is one of my favorites.
  • Citrus Fresh blend + Purification blend = Karen R. blends these two together for a really happy home blend. I never thought of doing that!
  • Grapefruit = Sara A. says it goes well with everything, like a little black dress.
  • Orange = This was a team favorite. Allyson G. said, “it is definitely a happy oil” and she likes to blend it with Thieves oil blend. Interesting combo, eh?
  • Vanilla = Dee H. adds this to Orange oil for a happy diffuser blend and I do that, too. Vanilla with any happy citrus oil is delish!

When I looked at some of the team favorites, I created a Happiness Diffuser Blend. It can also be made into a roller bottle for a beautiful perfume

What is your favorite essential oil for your skin?

  • CBE Beauty Boost = I love this at nighttime for a morning youthful glow. The blend of CBD isolate with Rose oil (oh my, skin loves Rose), Tamanu oil and Grapeseed oil does wonders for skin tone, dry skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. This is one of my favorites and my skin does not look dry or my age!
  • Frankincense = Frank gets around and got the most votes because everyone loves him for skin. As you can tell, Frank is one of our most popular oils because it does so much!
  • Mirah Luminous Cleansing Oil = This was a team favorite and I could not agree more. Oil cleanses oil and this will leave your face feeling ultra moisturized but not greasy. The Rose, Sandalwood and Jasmine oils in it are amazing for your skin.

I hope you found the favorites of my Purrmaste Oils Team helpful. In the comments I would love to know what are your favorites in these 4 categories?

Why have crystals become so popular?

by Allie Phillips

A friend recently asked me: “Why have crystals become so popular?”

My response: “You’re asking me as I sit in a trailer full of crystals pretending that I’m not taking most of them home? LOL”

Seriously, I’ve been an attorney since 1994 and I have a home filled with crystals and I teach crystal healing classes. What’s up with that? For me it’s two answers: (1) If something helps me feel better, calmer, more energized, I don’t need a double-blind peer-reviewed study to tell me it works. And (2) once I dove deep into learning the science of crystals, that helped my intellectual mind understand what my intuitive mind already knew … they work!

Here’s why I think crystals are growing in popularity:

  • More people are opening their eyes to all of the toxins in our food, cleaners, skincare products, makeup and more. They are feeling tired, sluggish and out of sorts and traditional options are not working. So they are trying more Earth-based products like crystals and essential oils and finding that they feel better. Placebo effect? Maybe, but in my experience it is doubtful to be placebo. We don’t need research studies to tell us whether something works. Eventually science will catch up with what I know works.
  • Many are feeling the shift in energy that is coming from changes in Earth’s frequency, changes in planetary placements, feeling the collective energy of all beings on the planet, and our own internal shift as we evolve to the next level. The plant, animal and mineral kingdoms all communicate with each other. So humans and animal instinctively are drawn to touch a crystal. We feel the soothing nature of crystals during these times even if most can’t explain why.
  • Many are drawn to crystals to help quiet the mind, help with mindfulness, and go deeper into a meditation and spiritual practice. DIY Spirituality is big right now and crystals help!
  • More non-metaphysical businesses are delving into crystals by placing them in their stores or creating beautiful crystal products and jewelry which catch the eye of a shopper. Even the growing tech industry relies on crystals to power phones, computers and televisions.
  • Crystals are simply beautiful in how they refract light and sparkle, so some people are decorating their homes with crystals even if they do not fully understand or appreciate what crystals do to enhance the energy of a space.
  • Some people are fascinated with the ancient history and culture of crystals and how they were used thousands of years ago.
  • The essential oil world discovered crystals a few years ago. I have been blending crystals and essential oils together for over a decade but the concept has EXPLODED and spilled over to social media where crystals are getting more attention. But not all crystals can be blended in liquid, like an essential oil. My book The Oily Crystal explains why.
  • There are reputable, educated and trained teachers offering solid crystal classes in-person and online to help people understand that these are more than pretty sparkly stones. There is an energy to crystals that has a scientific basis and explanation of what crystals do for our cells, emotions and more. I have been teaching about crystals for almost a decade and I blend the science AND the spiritual art of what crystals really do. I help people understand why Rose Quartz helps the Heart Chakra.

If you’ve been intrigued by crystals, I am inviting you to join in one of my crystal classes. My Basic Crystal Healing and Crystal Healing for Animals classes are now ONLINE in addition to being in-person in Lansing, Michigan. And my 2-day Advanced Crystal Healing class is now online.

You have control over your health & well-being

by Allie Phillips

As we continue to live in challenging times, the one thing that I hear is “we have no control over what is happening in our world and I feel so helpless.” I get it … but I’m here to tell you that YOU have more power and control than you may realize.

We are experiencing many challenges when it comes to our physical health. And that is putting stress and pressure on our emotional and mental health. And then we are being bombarded with energetic changes. Put it all together and #hotmess sums it up pretty well, right?

But you actually have power and control over your health & well-being, along with your family and pet(s) health and well-being. Because what you feed yourself (food, thoughts, emotions, and experiences) will determine your health and well-being.

If you’re like me, when you’re doing something proactive, you feel more confident and happier rather than waiting for something or someone to come to the rescue. And right now, the only rescue that can happen are the steps that YOU take. Ready?

My Top 10 Lifestyle Techniques

There are things that you can do daily that will help you regain control and joy as you maintain or improve your health and well-being. I want to share the top 10 things that I am doing daily and how it’s helping me thrive in all areas of my life no matter what is going on around me.

  • Food = Be intentional about what you consume. Make sure it’s real whole foods and organic if possible because it will give life and energy to your body. There are too many toxins being put in food and sprayed on products. That beautiful strawberry may actually harm your health if it’s sprayed. Spending a little more money on whole foods that are organic will save you a lot of money down the road in lost wages and high medical bills due to illness. While white sugar, white flour, genetically modified wheat and processed foods will harm you from the inside out by creating inflammation. If you find yourself binging on junk food during stressful times, let’s work on stress levels (see below). But in the meantime, why not retrain your taste buds to crave veggies or other whole organic foods during stress? A few years ago I forced myself to grab organic greens (brussel sprouts, broccoli, leafy greens) when I was stressed and IT WORKED! And that’s now what I crave when I’m comfort eating.
  • Water = It is important that we drink half our body weight in ounces everyday with filtered/purified water. Drinking water throughout the day (every 20 minutes take a sip) can flush your throat of viruses that want to enter the body that way. And water helps our bodies to eliminate toxins. What I love to do is add a drop of Young Living Lemon Vitality essential oil (a safe dietary essential oil) or Young Living’s Vitality Drops in Bergamot-Grapefruit that also contains beneficial electrolytes. I now crave water more than ever before!
  • Stress = Keeping daily stress at bay is really important for so many reasons. For your physical health it reduces binge eating, digestive and cardiovascular stressors, sleep issues and so much more. For your emotional health de-stressing techniques can calm the emotional rollercoaster that can result in physical issues. For your mental health it helps you focus on what is important in your life. You can literally stress yourself into physical problems. What I like to do is diffuse calming essential oils like Peace & Calming when I am working or at the end of the day. Citrus essential oils like Orange are calming yet they keep you alert so that you can focus and make good decisions. Because when we are stressed, our brain is not capable of making rational decisions. I also do deep breathing for a minute when I find myself getting worked up. And I get outside to sit or do a walking meditation along the river or Lake Michigan because nature has a calming effect on our nervous system.
  • Sleep = Getting 8 hours of quality sleep that is not drug-induced is so important to our overall health and well-being. When your brain can naturally go into deep sleep and REM modes, your body can detox, repair and rejuvenate while you sleep. Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, especially during a full moon or when the energetics of the planet are heightened. My sleep protocol involves putting away technology and TV an hour before bedtime, not eating/drinking at least 2 hours before bedtime, calming essential oils in my bedside diffuser (like Clary Sage with Lavender essential oils), Frankincense on my forehead, and Progessence Plus on my wrists (every women should be using this essential oil blend).
  • Nature = Being out in nature and moving is so important to our overall well-being. When you can put your bare feet on the ground our bodies soak up electrons from Earth that creates an anti-inflammatory and calming benefit. This is why I have been spending time at Lake Michigan every week since the weather warmed up. A 2012 study in the Journal of Environmental Public Health found that earthing promotes better sleep, reduces pain, reduces chronic stress, improve health disorders and create overall well-being for longevity. So whether you go outside and hug a tree or plant your feet on the ground, do this every day even just for a few minutes. And if weather prevents you from earthing, bring the earth inside with tree essential oils (like Cedarwood, Black Spruce and Blue Spruce) and grounding crystals like Black Tourmaline and Shungite.
  • Supplements = Even with an organic whole food diet, we often need to supplement what we eat with vitamins, minerals and other supplements. But not all supplements are made the same. Make sure that you are taking a whole-food supplement that does not contain fillers or synthetics. I personally take essential oil-infused whole food supplements. If you want to ramp up your wellness plan, check these out:
    • Vitamin A is important for a strong immune and respiratory system, and is also beneficial for vision especially since many people are spending more time online for work or staying connected to family and friends;
    • Vitamin B Complex is your happy vitamin that is also beneficial for your eyes, brain, digestive health and energy;
    • Vitamin C is necessary for repair of all body tissues and is beneficial for a strong immune system;
    • Vitamin D3 is best taken thru Mother Sun but taking the supplement daily is also beneficial for calcium absorption for strong bones, a strong immune system to fight disease and combatting the blues;
    • Zinc regulates immune function, decreases risk of age-related chronic diseases, and helps with eye health including preventing age-related macular degeneration;
    • Omega 3s have been researched for supporting lung, brain and cardiovascular health as well as improving the appearance of skin, banishing the blues, improving eye health and fight inflammation;
    • Turmeric & Curcumin are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits when combined with Black Pepper to help with absorption, beneficial for brain and cardiovascular health, and helps with depression.
  • Detox your Home = We are washing our hands more often and probably cleaning our homes more often too. If you are using toxic hand soap, hand purifier and home cleaners, are you really creating a healthy and safe environment? NO! Plant-based cleaners that are FREE of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and are important to overall health. And make sure the air in your home is clean. One of the easiest things to do is to replace all plug-ins, candles and sprays with a cool-mist essential oil diffuser and diffuse therapeutic-grade pure essential oils (not fragrance oils). Also switch to plant-based cleaners. But please do not be GREEN-WASHED by the pretty green labels in the cleaner isle at the grocery store. If you look at the ingredients and see Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, don’t buy it! I use the line of Thieves products from Young Living because I understand and have researched all of the ingredients, and the essential oils naturally clean so that it’s safe for kids and pets.
  • Detox Your Skincare = What you put on your skin can be as harmful as what you put in your mouth. So are you willing to ingest your skincare? Probably not unless you are using a truly toxic-free plant-based skincare product. The ingredients in almost all skincare and makeup products are frightening and IT’S LEGAL! My lawyer brain gets really angry about this topic. Because what you put on your skin leeches in to your blood stream. Understanding ingredients is really important, but also trusting the company to be honest about the ingredients is just as important. For my skin, I only use Young Living’s skincare and Savvy Minerals Makeup.
  • Avoid negative people/situations = Please stop watching the news and limit your time on social media. All it does is feed your worry, promote shaming by other people and implant the idea that you have no control over your life.  It was easy for me to get sucked back in to news reports when our world went crazy in March. But when I stepped away I realized that there are amazing beautiful things happening in our world right now. I also liberally use the “30 day snooze” and “unfollow” button on Facebook because I see too many friends getting sucked into negative energy. So step away from the negative people, negative situations, negative news, and if you are in a negative job we are in energy where you are being asked (and possibly forced) into reconsidering your path. Make some decisions in that regard before the decisions are made for you.
  • Daily Self-Care & Fun = It is important that you do things every day to feed your soul. I did an entire yearlong series on The Year of You Self-Care in 2018 because self-care is not getting a mani-pedi or massage. Self-care is nurturing your inner self and soul to evolve and is only something you can do. And if you don’t do it, no one else can. So create a morning/daily ritual of what feeds your soul. For me, it’s the 3 Ms: meditation (sometimes a walking meditation, laying in a crystal grid, or learning the art of surrender which is so hard for me), movement and mindfulness where I journal and visualize my day rather than letting my day smash me around. But it’s also about having fun. As we adult, it is too easy to be filled with responsibilities, concerns and worry. And our to-do list will never be completed. Taking time daily to do something fun for you will feed your inner self. For me it’s either time with friends, time at Lake Michigan or tending to my fairy garden.
