<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just had to share. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beautiful Earthy Moon Goddess, <a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/" target="_blank">Lindsay Luna</a> created a <a href="https://wholebodyalchemy.squarespace.com/danmala-teas/red-tent-ritual-kit" target="_blank">Red Tent Tea</a> specifically for your moon-time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>"She's choosing to have more of these soft, delicate, moments with herself. She's taking these pauses in her day. Something sweet, unexplained comes to meet her at these times. Sometimes she hears herself releasing a deep sigh.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>She's discovering the richness of those moments 'out of her head'. Everything inside & outside comes together in a harmonious song. It leaves her soothed & refreshed. -Sukhvinder Sircar </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>This blend was inspired by a dream a dear friend had about me creating a feminine infusion for our monthly moon.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Lovingly prepared using gemstone infusion of Moonstone, Carnelian, Unikite and sacred mantra.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Moonstone is gentle and soothing and encourages you to "go with the flow". Carnelian is associated with the root and sacral chakras - it stabilizes energy and is known to revitalize the blood. Unikite is a gentle yet powerful stone that brings about connection and aids in female reproductive health."</i></div>

The other day, I was sitting out on my grass listening to the wind play in the palm fronds. As I closed my eyes to listen to what the wind was whispering, it started to sound like rain on a tin roof or waves crashing on rocky shores. And as I kept listening, I began to see a fire circle with a large cackling fire. It was in this moment I finally realized the thread of Spirit that connects us all together and to the elements of this world.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so humbled.</div>

I cannot believe June is upon us already! 2013 has been going by so quickly! The New Moon is next Saturday and that is also the day I have chosen for my relaunch of Moondaughter!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is so symbolic for me as well. I am moving into a new chapter of my life: I have finally laid to rest my college days and struggles with what society deems as a "good career." Moondaughter is my passion, teaching and healing with Spirit and loving intention is what I feel called to do! So I am making that leap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I wanted you all to know where I see Moondaughter going:</div>

I can't wait to share this all with you! It will be a learning experience for me and I am honored for you all to witness this journey :) Of course there will be a big Giveaway for the relaunch over at the new blog! So be sure to enter next Saturday!</div>

This is the last show I helped with at CSUF. And the artwork is so so stunning. The artist is named G-Ray and his mediums are so varied, this is not even 1/4 of the pieces that were in the exhibit. He used to be a teacher at CSUF when it was founded and he helped to establish the art department to what it is today. These are a few of my favorite pieces.</div>

I am done with school. I am ready to release these outdated beliefs I have about higher education. I feel so much freer than ever before. Student loans will be a pain and money will be tight, but I will be happy doing what I love.<br />
<br />
I realize I have been severely neglecting this blog and I am sorry! I have been so focused on the relaunch that I haven't stayed present here with you all. Blogger has been so good to me and I have met so many wonderful people through it! But I am super excited for this new chapter!<br />
<br />
I also mailed out my final test to be a Certified Crystal Healer! Ahhhhh! I will know in a month or less! Send me good juju!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend too! I just saw Epic yesterday, and it is really cute! Go see it! I wish I lived in Moonhaven and I want to be a Leaf Woman! <3<br />

<br />
Drinking smoothies, juices, broths, teas, and waters for 10 days is going to be fun. So far, I am really positive and my body is feeling good, so we shall see what it feels like tomorrow. :-p<br />
<br />
I've been trying to answer why I felt called to do this fast and there is not one definite answer. I want to try something I've never really attempted to try before because its fun and sparks my inner-warrioress. The word Clarity came to mind, so I am wondering how this word will weave through this fast. I have also been pretty unhealthy as of late and not taking care of my body as I should, so I hope this fast will be a reset button.<br />
<br />
But most of all I want to prove to myself I can follow through with this. Show up for myself and the others in the group. I tend to start something but then move one fairly quickly, or lose the passion.<br />
<br />
It feels like since the day I left home, it has been one transition after the other. I adjusted to a new place, changed majors multiple times, moved in with my love, and now I am ready to end this cycle. These next two weeks will also be concluding my graduate studies. I am leaving early. I am letting this go. I love museums and will keep visiting them, but I realize this path is no longer for me. I am ready to close the door of my college/school days and let this chapter rest. When I was growing up, my goal was to get out of my hometown and go to school. And that is what I did. I have two Bachelor degrees in Theater and Anthropology and I am proud to have earned them. However, I started letting the 'shoulds' and fears of being different hold me back from my true passions, and with student loans looming ahead, I started to use college as a crutch. I am ready to brave this new journey and fly out of the nest. I'm ready to create my own <a href="http://marissamoondaughter.blogspot.com/2013/01/2013-nest.html" target="_blank">NEST</a>.<br />
<br />
This Fast is exactly what I need right now, and it also ends the last day of my classes. Coincidence? I think not. New Beginnings, anyone?<br />
<br />
I also just became a <a href="http://lauraemily.typepad.com/laura-emily/holistic-life-coach-accredited-course.html" target="_blank">Certified Holistic Life Coach</a>, and my heart is bursting with possibilities. I am so excited for Moondaughter and where she is flowing.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for now, I sip my tulsi/raspberry leaf tea and observe this flow of energy. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may be more grumpy tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Love and Blessings,</div>

Here is some info about the <a href="http://www.aquariansouldesigns.com/" target="_blank">Goddess</a> behind Earth Oils:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started this shop after a long time dream I had to make a crystal infused line of products. I started putting crystals in my massage oils a few years ago, and I wanted to bring the healing powers it gave me to the world. I have also suffered with migraines since my teenage years, and I have been using my own roll on remedy which I have infused with amethyst and quartz for its extra healing powers. I am a huge lover of baths, and I always take a cleansing ritual bath before practicing any kind of spell or during full/new moons. I created a unique set of bath soaks and teas for you lunar ladies who wish to cleanse your body before any kind of rite on the full/new moons or just want to feel extra special and relax in a luxurious floral bath. Everything is made with organic essential oils and all the bath soaks are fragrance free to allow the natural scent of the herbs and flowers to really stand out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I personally have her Headache Relief Oil and I love it! The Peppermint is not crazy overpowering but smells so intoxicating and feminine. And it does the job quickly! I love that it is a roll on for easy application to my temples, forehead and neck. I would almost wear it as perfume!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had originally ordered them just for myself, but me living in the US and her in Wales, it took longer than expected to get here. I contacted her about it and she immediately and generously sent me another copy. A few days later my prints actually arrived, and these ones too! I knew I had to share the love and asked her if I could include them in the giveaway and she was delighted! So whoever wins these beauties, I will be shipping them out to you from the US and they are still unopened and untouched :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am finally sharing this with everyone :) Diving off the cliff!</div>
<br />
To all the women out there ready to connect with other kindred souls, delve into the moon mysteries and magical realms of the Divine, I’m calling out to you.<br />
<br />
If there is anything I have learned this year, when women gather in sacred circles with open hearts and creative fire MAGIC is generated.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">And it is powerful.</span></b></div>
<br />
My soul has been bursting with the magic I want to offer women.<br />
<br />
My soul is yearning for spirit-led connection and the magical community to hold it. So I am manifesting this intent into being. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Enter <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Moondaughter" target="_blank">Moon Rhythms</a>.</span></b></div>

Manifesting Abundance with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/apothecarycircle" target="_blank">Laura Emily</a> is totally shifting my perceptions and my relationship with abundance (and speaking of abundance go to <a href="http://lauraemily.typepad.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a> for two amazing giveaways!)</div>

Beautiful Citrine is an amazing Abundance stone! Carry it around with you and abundance will literally flow into your life. I actually never really noticed, but since I have had Citrine in my life on my bedside table for the last year and when I started Moondaughter, so many creative collaborations and projects have come my way. Abundance is not all about money! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Citrine is also a very uplifting stone as it cannot carry any negative energy. Always keep Citrine by your other stones for its cleansing ability. The other stones will not collect negative energy from the environment near Citrine, no way. And it won't let you keep negative energy in your own aura either. This stone also encourages optimism and is associated with the solar ckakra; where a our self-confidence, spark, and motivation dwells. Carrying Citrine with you always is the best medicine.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

If you want to charge your Citrine for a specific purpose you want to manifest (let's say money) you can hold the stone in your dominant hand (the one you write with) and state you intention while holding your stone at heart level. Visualize what it will look and feel like to have that money and what would you do with it; act as if you already have it, and Citrine will know what to do to make it happen - you may not know how it will come to manifest, but it will be revealed. Trust in your stone allies!</div>

This post is pretty late, as our anniversary was over a month ago, but here it is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last part of our anniversary was at our favorite beach in Solana. I love that little coastal town. I did not wear the right shoes, but it was so worth it to run around on the sand and take in the salty air. It was the first time I had the urge to really beach comb and I collected so many rocks! There was so many round smooth stones, I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning! I am excited to paint them :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jimmy even got to play some b-ball with our makeshift hoop! Haha! We actually played two boys a legitimate two-on-two game as we were leaving. It kicked my butt, but it was fun. The boys ended up winning because I am not a very good player :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to say being with this man for two years has healed me in so many ways. I was resistant at first, and I would do my destructive, cold behaviors to push him away as I have done in the past. But his patience and support and love has softened me; I want to be better for me, him, us. We have our differences and issues like any other couple, but the thread that connects us is full with deep love, respect, and gratitude. He encourages me to be me. As I am always with my head in the clouds, his earthy grounding energy brings me back to center. Thank you, Jimmy. I love you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the bench says it all :)</div>

This whole month has been really hard for me - with school projects left and right, our traumatic week with Theo, and now we have a huge beehive in our chimney that is connected to our room! It sounds like I have a lot of animal karma! Ultimately, I have been super stressed and have gotten 4 gray hairs from it all!<br />
<br />
Anyway, my point is, enter Lepidolite.<br />
<br />
The ultimate calming stone. The stone of peace and tranquility. Since the bees have arrived, I have been keeping it close and it is a great addition to the nightstand for peaceful dreams and anti-nightmares.<br />
<br />
Lepidolite governs the realm of the third-eye, and gently helps us to listen to our intuition and act on it in a peaceful gentle way. And the color is just the prettiest lavender.<br />
<br />
Every time I look at this stone I feel calmer and soothed. Keep it near you on a spa day just don't get it wet! And it is a wonderful aid in meditations as well.<br />
<br />
Combining it with moonstone helps to calm PMS symptoms, while combining with rose quartz can help reconcile love.<br />
<br />
Not only can it calm your nerves emotionally, but can help ease nerve pain and damage.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite calming stone? I would love to know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Saturday!</div>

<br />
<br />
Making oneself a pot of tea is a magical process. Whether you intend to or not you are creating a ritual that is hundreds of years old.<br />
<br />
All the elements are involved in making tea:<br />
<b>Earth </b>is represented by the botanicals; seed, roots, leaves and flowers.<br />
<b>Water </b>is the magical conduit that is used to infuse with the botanicals.<br />
<b>Fire</b> is represented by the act of heating the water.<br />
<b>Air</b> is the aromatic vapors released from the steam.<br />
<br />
Combined, you have yourself a beautiful ceremony of the four corners, and by taking in the sacred brew you are honoring the fifth element of spirit.<br />
<br />
To get started, select your tea and tea ware. Regardless of the tea ware you use, the sacred space you create is what is vital to the outcome of your ritual. This ritual is a time to let go of the concerns of the day and focus your intentions on the simple comforts available to you in the form of flower, leaf, root and seed. <br />
Choosing herbs is also an important element. What do you have currently available in your cupboard Are you feeling drawn to using a floral blend, a spicy, deep or pungent blend? The choice of tea can reflect what you may be needing at this time. For example; I often select creamy, spicy teas such as a ginger and vanilla. Ginger is considered an herb of the moon, is fiery and sensual much like the full moon herself. Vanilla is also sensual, deep and aromatic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Steeping</u></b><br />
When you are ready to pour the water over the herbs speak softly while pouring, “I infuse this water with (insert your intentions here)”. During the next few minutes, let’s focus on breath. Slowly breathing in for a count of four, pause at the top f your breath and exhale slowly for a count of four. Once your tea is ready according to your taste preference, take your cup and find a comfortable place to settle in.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Sacred Space</u></b><br />
Find a comfortable place on the floor or at a table, preferably near a window where the light and the view are inspiring or relaxing. If the weather near you is cool keep a throw blanket handy that you can curl up in while you enjoy your tea. If it is warmer where you are take your tea outside and sit among the beauty of nature.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Where the magic happens:</u></b><br />
As you begin to steep yourself in the comforts of tea, notice the aromas, the taste and the beauty in what your have created. As the ribbons of steam unfurl around you- the lessons of the day are taken in with each sip. If you have a notebook handy, now would be an ideal time to write down your inner reflections. As you sip your tea, is your mind wandering? What are you thinking about?<br />
<br />
Take a moment to release what is on your mind. Acknowledge it, let it go and take a deep breath and come back to the self-nurturing of this simple ritual.<br />
<br />
With each sip we can practice letting go of the days burdens. With a clear mind our awareness is fine tuned and we can come back into balance with our mind, body, and soul.<br />
<br />
Once you have reached the end of your cup, take your herbs/ tea bag and gift them to your garden or compost bin. This small act is a great way to honor the earth and all the abundance she provides for us.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy this tea ritual, I would love to hear your thoughts!</div>

My kitty is doing so much better (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU) but I also witnessed (while walking out of the vet) a dog getting hit by a car and my boyfriend saving the other. It was so painful, I sat in the parking lot and bawled my eyes out. Not to mention other little obstacles that just built up. This wasn't my week. AT ALL. It's Sunday now, and I am only starting to feel better and am re-emerging.<br />
<br />
I am also processing a lot of changes with this blog and space of mine. As you know the relaunch is June 8th. I will be putting a lot of energy into some big projects I have in store for you all (hint: MOON RHYTHMS, yup ;) and I am trying to access my energy and distribute it out efficiently. I am not sure if I will be keeping a lot of features as I originally had in mind with the blog. I am thinking Moon Days has ran its course, and possibly Full Moon (there is an awesome Full Moon post coming up this week though!). But I want to know what you all think too. What do you want more from me? Less of? Please let me know! This blog might just become my personal diary of my own ebbing and flowing. And that is okay too.<br />

Theo is in the hospital right now, and I am devastated.</div>
<br />
Saturday he was pretty mellow, Sunday totally stuck to our bed not wanting to do, eat, play, explore nothing. I was worried and kept telling Jimmy something was up, but he didn't seem too concerned. So I shut my gut up (NEVER DO IT).<br />
<br />
This morning, I noticed he was in the same position for the last 8 hours or so. I woke up at 5 am I was so worried. He just stared at me with his sweet eyes, and stretched his arm out to me with a little purr. He ate a little, drank a little, went to the bathroom, so I thought maybe he was okay.<br />
<br />

When I went to work, my boss insisted that I go take him to the vet and to not wait any longer. I am so thankful for her. I took him in, and told them I thought maybe he had a hairball caught in his stomach since he had been double bathing lately (he bathes Indy constantly) and he was trying to hack up something today but couldn't.<br />
<br />
He had a HIGH fever and was severely hydrated, and I was shocked. Cats are supposed to run 100-102, but he was almost to 105! 106 can cause organ damage. My poor baby, I had no idea he was suffering so much. I left him with a choked up bye for now, as he is being kept overnight. He is in the right care though, so I am thankful.<br />
<br />
The x-rays came out with no obstruction to his abdomen, which is really good! But the vet said, "his liver is a little enlarged." and maybe has hepatitis. What??? WHAT???? Blood results won't be in til tomorrow, so we can't know for sure, but WHAT???<br />
<br />
I came home to only one kitty on the bed and I broke down. Jimmy called and thanked me for taking him in and not listening to him and told me I am an awesome mother. I just keep crying. My sweet Theo babe, only one years old, how could I have failed you? We treat our cats like our own children. I am lost and devastated and can't think clearly right now, and all I want to do is hold my sweet Theo.<br />

<br />
This cat has been a blessing from the Universe. Our animal spirit guide. When we got Theo, Jimmy and I were on rocky footing, but once this pure spirit entered our lives, we grew together as a family. I am forever grateful for Theo's companionship, love, and healing - he is a piece of my heart; my soul - he is our family.<br />
<br />
We are going to fight for him, and do as much as possible for him. Please send your prayers, healing energies, reiki, good thoughts to this sweet boy. And if you feel called to, we would be so incredibly thankful for donations for his vet bills. Money is very tight for us right now, we are even thinking of selling a car, so anything would be appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my soul and the tears in my eyes.<br />

I received my own Herbal profile and it made so much sense. She pointed out to me new insights I hadn't seen before in my birthchart, but reaffirmed my health concerns. Her insight is beautiful, gentle, and wise. I love the unique and focused spin she brings to Astrology and how she incorporates nature and the elements. She offered so many ways to enhance my well-being through herbs and holistic remedies, I am excited to try them out! I am so glad I received this gift! </div>

Little Indy (for Indiana Jones) is our newest addition to our family! He is so sweet and fuzzy and pink. And he purrs while he plays. Theo has (almost) never-ending patience with him and always wants to bathe him. They are the cutest brothers ever (until we have our own babies).</div>

<br />
<i>"Listen to the words of the Dark Mother, who of old was called Hecate, Nuit, Morrigan, Banba, Erda, Macha, MotherNight, Sekhmet, and many other names:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Whenever you seek wisdom, at the time of the Darkening Moon, come together in love and trust and learn of Me, who am the Wisest of Crones...Ye who search the mysteries of the Earth, the secrets of Air and Darkness, of Blood and Fire, the silence of the uttermost stars, come unto me, and I shall whisper to you in the depths of midnight.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Ye shall approach Me in silence, and as a sign that ye are free from fear, your breast you shall bare to My blade...for fear has no place in My mysteries, and that which you seek of me will destroy you if you fear it.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>For I am the dolmen arch beyond which stretch the mysteries of infinity. I am the silence before birth and after death. I am the clouded mirror in which you scry your own soul. I am mist in the twilight, the vast and starry sky of midnight, shadows on the Moon.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>All things come to Me in the end, and yet I am the beginning of all. I meet you at the crossroads, I lead you through the darkness, My hand you grasp in the passage between the worlds. To those that toy with Me am I an instrument of self-destruction. yet to the true seeker do I bring knowledge beyond mortal comprehension.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Of you shall I demand the utter truth of all that you are, and in return shall I give you all that you may be, all that I am. For My wisdom is beyond the Ages, and knowledge of My Secrets is power over self, over fear, over death. Nor do I demand aught of you which you cannot give. For I am the Mother of Mysteries, and as you know Me, so shall you learn to know yourself."</i><br />

So. I haven't been the best at keeping up with my features lately. Especially Stone Medicine (such sporadic times, I'm sorry!). But I figure, since Saturday and Sunday start with an 'S' (I am really corny picking out feature days) I could just post Stone Medicine sometime during the weekend and not feel stressed about having it ready at a certain time. So for now on, either on Saturday or Sunday I will post it! Each weekend come back and find out more about crystal healing!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, back to this week's stone. Since the Moon is growing darker and darker, I want to share with you Labradorite. It is such a beautiful dark and iridescent stone. It's magickal energy is ruled by the darker moon- Waning through the New Moon phases. It aids in banishing negative habits and helps you to dig deep into your soul for shadow work, along with giving you psychic protection.<br />
<br />
Due to its ever-changing colors, Labradorite is associated with all the chakras. Place it on your third-eye during meditation to open your intuition and psychic abilities. You can even sleep with it under your pillow to have prophetic dreams.<br />
<br />
The Waning Moon is also a good time to cleanse this stone, as this phase aligns its energy. Place it under the Moon at this time, even if you can't see the Moon, Her energy is there.<br />
<br />
If you really need to banish something out of your life, bring a piece of the stone out with you under the Waning Moon. Hold the stone and as you hold it meditate on what you wish to banish. Let the stone absorb this negative energy. Do you feel this energy at a certain chakra point? Place the stone over this area. When you feel this energy is out of your body/mind/spirit and into the stone, bury it. The energy will absorb back into Mama Earth. Leave it buried there until you feel this situation habit/person, or whatever you wished to banish from your life, is gone. Try to remember where you buried it so you can use it again!

Lindsay Luna, Goddess at <a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/" target="_blank">Whole Body Alchemy</a> offers <a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/tea-consultation" target="_blank">Ayurvedic Tea Consultations</a>. It encompasses your concerns about your health and well-being, an in-depth look into your own Doshic constitution, and a custom hand-blended tea made by Lindsay herself.<br />
<br />

<br />
I can get lost in Lindsay's beautiful site and her insight into <a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/ayurvedic-services" target="_blank">Ayurveda</a>. I have always been fascinated by the ancient science of Ayurveda and know I am Vata/Pitta, but I have never known where to go from there. Okay, so now what? And then I would forget about it.<br />
<br />
In Lindsay's consultation she gave me a comprehensive survey to find out my exact Doshic ratio ( I love quizzes! ), and a break down of <i>simple, affordable, and practical ways</i> I can keep myself balanced. That is huge for me - I get easily overwhelmed (most likely my Vata!) and keeping things simple, yet efficient, keeps me sane.<br />
<br />
I have started to incorporate some of her advice and I can already feel a difference in my body, mind, and soul. She gave me a key word to work with and it is so dead on in so many ways. She reaffirmed why I would be feeling the way I do and suggested ways to bring back my harmony and energy. THANK YOU Lindsay! I needed this on so many levels.<br />

<br />
<br />
And the TEA! She told me all the ingredients and why she put them in, and when the package arrived it took my breath away!<br />

<br />
So above is is my own custom blend of tea she created just for me, dealing with my own Vata/Pitta issues. I feel so loved and special. When I drank and sat in ritual with it, it was Divine. Mellow, soothing, fresh and sweet, I felt so centered afterward.<br />

<br />
<br />
I HIGHLY recommend her<a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/tea-consultation" target="_blank"> tea consultation</a>, and it is so affordable. Everyone should have this for themselves and experience Lindsay's wisdom and craft. She takes her time with you and I feel the love within my cup. So much healing and gratitude. I will definitely be getting a refill!! I am off to pour another cup...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been feeling really drained lately... I feel pulled in a thousand directions, school is picking up and I feel so off balanced trying to juggle everything that I want and need to do. My diet is taking a turn for the worse because that has become last on my list like always. And of course, daily cups of espresso and caffeine make me stay up way too late. OY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I take my Smoky quartz and keep him by my side. And there is relief. I remember to breathe. Mind you, crystal healing is not a quick fix- you do have to put in work. But you feel it on a soul level. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Smoky quartz is grounding and protective. As Clear quartz rules the realm of the higher chakras, on the opposite end of the spectrum, Smoky quartz rules the root. As clear quartz is the ultimate healing stone, it is said that smoky quartz is best grounding stone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It also has the ability to transmute negative energy in your surroundings. This is a great detoxing stone and space clearing stone- placing one in each corner of your room/home can help clear the energy. To magnify the protection and clearing energy, I have been pairing it with Amethyst and carrying them with me and meditating with them everyday this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you want to magnify practicality, organization, and grounding energy pair your Smoky quartz with Obsidian, Jet, Black Tourmaline, or Hematite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you do when you are feeling drained? What helps to ground you? Most of my birth chart, and Ayurvedic dosha (thanks to Lindsay's Tea Consultation at <a href="http://www.wholebodyalchemy.com/" target="_blank">Whole Body Alchemy</a>) has little earth energy, if at all! I need all the grounding advice I can get!</div>
