Soul Mate Reality Check…

Bookmark and Share

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…”

(Elizabeth Gilbert, author of “Eat, Pray, Love”)

Updates :) … at last!

Sorry Sorry Sorry!   My life has been absolutely manic and every bit of spare time and days off I had was dedicated to helping my other half out on his job (apart from my hospital stint), whilst my children were away with their Nana.  I will have more time now – I am sincerely sorry for neglecting my loyal followers (esp. David and his beloved) … lovely to see you both in my shop this morning by the way – and I’m really looking forward to sharing your big day soon.

I also had to have major surgery on my foot recently that left me with 20 stitches and a horrible cast on for almost 2 weeks (actually it looked more like a wasps nest stuck to the end of my leg but it felt more like a bowling ball haha).  I am back at work now and things are slowly returning to normal – the fact I have been given the all clear to drive again was the best news I have had in a very long time as the hospital thought I would be out of action for weeks (just as well I am a healer eh?) … I will also have much, much more time to dedicate myself and loyalty to my deserving friends and clients.

Things in the pipeline are becoming exciting.  My Lenormand ebook is doing really well and I am in the process of working on a Tarot teaching program with my elite publisher Anton Dublais.   I really can’t wait to get started as this one is going to be a biggie…. watch this space!

My shop will be also going through a major revamp in the next few weeks and I can finally get it looking exactly how I want it and how I need it to be able to work properly and efficiently.  I am itching for that to get started but most likely that will begin when the kids are back at school.

I have also had my 40th Birthday this week (yes, 40, scary isn’t it!) but life begins at 40 evidently, so bring it on.  And what do you know, I’ve just been invited out with friends tonight – celebrations all round (how long can you milk a birthday for? *smile*).

The old crystal cleansing debate has begun …. Sun? Moon? Earth? Water? or Smudging????

… Too much sun on a crystal will render it useless. Period.
Look at the difference in these two Amethysts. The one that originated from darkness and has been kept out of the sun is still vibrant with a beautiful deep purple hue and gives off the most amazing energy.

The smaller peice of Amethyst was kept in the sunlight (inside or outside)- see how empty, light and colourless it is… I almost feel sorry for it!

I cannot believe my eyes nor my ears when I read or hear that to charge crystals you should do so in the sun.  The sun’s energy is WAY too intense for most crystals, and what you will end up with is a bleached out, sorry looking lifeless piece of stone, which is usually beyond repair, good for nothing and quite frankly, dead.

If you truly believe the sun should cleanse your crystals then do so for only 5 minutes.  By leaving them out, scorching, and slowly dieing in the sunshine only ruins them and renders them useless.

There are MANY other way to cleanse your crystals.  Crystals that cannot get wet (as they dissolve), such as Selenite, should be put out in the full moon – just for about an hour. Alternatively, you can smudge them using a white sage smudge stick.

For crystals that are happy to be in water – then rinsing them in the sea, a river, or anywhere that has running water will do it – heck, if you are that stuck then use your cold water tap at home and run cold water over your crystals for a few minutes.

Some people even bury their crystals in the earth to charge them – this is still better than laying them out in the sun.

I have so many people coming in to see me bringing their sun drained crystals in to be recharged because they feel the energy has gone and their crystal no longer works.  More often than not, the crystal needs to be replaced as it is too far gone.  Unfortunately, they were only following instructions from the person they bought their original crystal from.

I honestly cannot stress this enough – please rethink about using the sun to recharge your crystals unless it is only for a couple of minutes.  Crystals don’t like sunlight or UV rays – it will literally suck the life and energy right out of it.

If anyone would like me to cleanse their crystals or wish to have more advice, just pop into “Sandy Cristel” at the Craft Courtyard Centre in Lytchett Minster and I will be more than happy to help.

Firstly a MEGA, HUGE thank you to everyone who made it down for the Holistic Day at the Craft Courtyard Centre on Saturday.

The weather was absolutely abominable to begin with but those dedicated few still made it through the heavens opening and by the afternoon the sun shone and it was gloriously warm.   It was lovely to see many of my friends making it down to support me on that day too, thank you so much.  Those that didn’t make it…. well, shame on you – you missed out on a great day!

I did take lots of photos but most were awfully blurry or really dark (joys of using an old mobile phone) but a few came out great, so I thought I would share a couple with you.

Keep your eyes and ears open for the next Holistic Day because when that day comes it WILL NOT RAIN!!!!

:D .. thanks again to everyone who contributed and participated. A mega thank you goes out to Jan Annis who came up with the idea in the first place and busted a gut doing most of the organising and baking cakes (how she does it all and stays sane is beyond me). Hugs to you Jan xxx.

Bye for now folks.
