I'm back with a brand NEW OUTLOOK!

 

 

 

WELCOME BACK to the

NEW “THE SPARKLY JOURNEY” Blog!

It has been a while my sweets since I have sat down to write ANYTHING let alone a blog entry…including Christmas cards…ahem, sorry!  As with all of us life has occurred, the holidays came and went with the New Year bringing in fantastic energies.  With all the excitement that has been happening in my life and family life I needed to focus on what was happening here.  Now the time has come for me to spread my wings and fly!  I need to take a leap of faith in myself and follow what has been flowing towards me since 2013 has begun.  Yes, I can be slow to act but eventually I get the clues I’m supposed to follow.

My last entries had me following a ‘7 Day Crystal Challenge’ put on by Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy.  It was very enlightening for me and opened my mind to several avenues that I hadn’t really explored before.  I was introduced to other people’s blogs who were in the challenge, which lead to reading different books, articles or magazines.  Right before Christmas the stars all aligned and my kids were healthy so I was able to complete my Advanced Reiki and Reiki Master class with my most fantastic Reiki Master Teacher, Ginger.  It wasn’t until the very end of January that the stars all aligned again for me to complete my Reiki Teacher portion of the certification but in that time I started opening myself up more and more.  I taught a “By the Numbers” class, which is my take on Numerology…really fun and neat way to look at number and letter vibrations.  It also gives you a good view on your Life Path, Lessons to Learn and Debts to pay back…etc.  Lots of FUN!  It’s not for everyone but I try to break it down enough so that each person has a ‘take away’.  I tripped over some fantastic free webinars and telecasts that I couldn’t pass up learning so much about myself that at times I felt, and still feel, like my heads going to explode.  OH…MY…GOSH…I’m not the only person on this great big beautiful blue plant who feels this way!

What really started to open me up was to the possibilities was watching this YouTube video that Hibiscus Moon had posted about “Living Your Legend” by founder Scott Dinsmore.  Some of my Facebook friends may remember me reposting this video because it really hit home.  It's about 20 mins. but well worth it.  I've watched it a number of times each time walking away with a little more.

Then I came across “The Global Vision Quest” by who is now Pure Inspiration, but once was Soul Art Studio, (thanks to my lovelies at Inner Alignment Mandalas ~ LOVE YOU Jill & Michelle!)… IF, the website for the Vision Quest is still running PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go because it is full of juicy goodness to help inspire ANYONE to greatness!  That is where I found all these dynamic souls sharing their success stories in a road map formula for EVERYONE to follow.  KA-POW!  They want their success to be our success…I know hard to believe in the “doubting Thomas world” that we have been drowning in!!

Stick with me folks…I’m almost there…REALLY I AM!!!

Funny as I’m starting to follow all this yummy tummy goodness of “Live Your Legend” and be the BEST possible YOU, again Hibiscus Moon posts a FABU blog with her original Business Wiz, Leonie Dawson.  So, I watched their video chat and jumped over to Leonie’s page.  I was thinking “WOW, fun stuff…this is gonna be similar to all this other information that I’ve been absorbing, right?”  Listen to me folks, NEVER, and I mean NEVER classify this woman in the same class as “everyone else” AND, By Golly Ms. Molly don’t judge a book by it’s cover.  Holy Guacamole Batman!  The passion and complete freedom of self was evident from the get go, with Leonie.  I must have spent hours pouring over old blogs free downloads and YouTube video’s from this high spirited, highly connected soul.  I started following her right away… FYI, she is very high energy and can be a little over the top for most folks, but her insight is simple, successful and stressless because she keeps it real and fun!

It STOPPED THERE!  OH, NO!!!  Why you ask?

I couldn’t get out of my on head…

Then, a wonderful soul sister… Andy, Of Divine Essence put together her new business and I have been watching it grow.  I met Andy on the ‘7 Day Crystal Challenge’ and started following her progress with great intent.  Now, I haven’t asked and confirmed but I think she and I have read some of the same stuff… “Great minds” and all that jazz, but really I was watching something magical happen in real time.  OM Golly!  She and a friend, Tamera put together this fantastic Chakra class that covered each Chakra in depth over the course of three days.  It was well done…not sure if you can still access it but if you can I highly recommend checking it out.  They have all sorts of yummy sparkly goodness!!   

Here it comes…   

As this was going on I was introduced to Access Consciousness running of the BARS ~ WOW!  Mind blowing…let me repeat that…MIND BLOWING!!  One of my new Circle members was looking for folks to practice on and asked if I’d be willing.  I said “Sure, I’m open to whatever the Universe brings my way!  Well, within reason…"  So, Michelle came over before a JeDai Circle meeting, (our Tribe, Clan, Peeps), and ran my BARS.  If someone ever offers this just say YES!  At worst you’ll feel like you had a great massage, at best it will change your life FOREVER!  For me it made all the “white noise” go AWAY!  I was left alone with my own thoughts in my head…no one else’s just mine.  Ahhhh!!! Then the information came POURING in…thoughts, ideas, plans, more thoughts, clearer ideas…you get the picture.  It ROCKED my WORLD!!

The BEST thing that came to me is that everything that keeps holding me back is…wait for it…

   It’s really good….

   I’m telling you it is awesome…

   MIND BLOWING…

   It was and is ME!

Yep, I’m what holds me back…not being a Mom, a wife or a daughter but ME!  With this revelation it has dawned on me it’s time to let go of what I permitted to hold me down.  ME! 

From this post on, my friends you are going to take a walk down my Sparkly Journey as I create the BEST possible me!  I am going to be sharing all the yummy stuff I've been learning from the most devine beings, on the web and in my own back yard!  Ahhh...Yes, my beautiful Tribe members I'm going to going after you for tidbits to share with the world!  Monica...you, me and coffee chat, right? LOL! 

In the my upcoming posts I'm going to revisit Leonie's website and ALL her tools...follow and review them so you can have a "realtime" view of how it works.  

I'm also going to review and share my thoughts on ALL the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy goodies I have and use...AWESOME SPARKLY goodness there.

PLUS, I have other friends who have started blogs, websites and even brick and morter businesses who we will be checking in on and sharing my thoughts. 

How does it get any better than this?

This week I'm taking a wonderful class, Emerge with Inner Alignment Mandalas (http://www.inneralignmentmandalas.com/).  If I'm lucky I'll start a web class with SevenFold Path to Success on Thursday night, http://sevenfoldpathtosuccess.net/register/.  We shall see what the Universe has in store for me!

CRAZINESS!  Welcome to it!  If you hang around, thank you and let's PARTY!  If you don't, no worries, I wish you well on your path! 

Hugs, Love, much Laughter and Light,

Krista
    

FYI:

Upcoming Reiki class will be posted soon!  I will be teaching them locally and traveling to MA and possibly CO to teach Reiki I & II PLUS Reiki for Kids and Teens!  

 

 

 

Day 7 of the Crystal Challenge- Last Day

Ciao!

Wow! It is hard to believe that seven days have gone by sooo quickly. Where has the time gone? This has been an eye opening experience for me just because it has encouraged me to rethink how I use my crystals and stones. I have found sites and people that I never would have without this challenge and met folks that I wouldn't have normally met in my everyday life. It has taught me how to work my blog a little better than what I did, although that is still a work in progress since I still haven't figured out how to put links to other sites on here - it's a process. I have opened my mind yet again to the possibilities, some that I haven't thought about until this journey. It has been a growing experience I want to continue.

With that being said my last stone I picked because I needed the protection it provided. I woke up knowing that I'd need my personal piece of Labradorite in my pocket for the day. I have had minimal sleep for the past four nights due to sick kids so my energy was low...I was hitting my wall. Labradorite is a wonderful stone for deflecting unwanted energies and preventing energy leakage from the aura and that is why I have a personal piece and a separate piece for the house. It also carries a calming quality, another spot I needed help with since I had two of my three kid’s home sick AGAIN.

Side Note - All three children have strep...so, hopefully by Thursday all will be well and I can send everyone to school once again giving me just enough time to prep for the arrival of family for Thanksgiving.

When I bought my pieces of Labradorite I bought them as protection stones but since I've used them I have realized that they have many more qualities. Today I actually read more about the stone in a couple of my books bringing me to a greater realization that each of the stones that I've selected or that has selected me during the past seven days are what I need in my life at this moment. They have unlocked doors that had answers hidden inside waiting for me to find. I plan to work with these stones a little more over the next few days to see what happens when I put them all together. It's a New Moon, a great time for inner reflection perhaps I'll get more answers to the questions I have asked.

I'm being drawn to place the stones on the I AM Love Mandala, so I think I'm going to do it before I go to bed and see what happens. I report back and with any luck I'll be able to upload a beautiful picture of my grid.  So, keep following so you can see what I do next!  I haven't decided but we shall see!  Thanks for your support and hopefully we all learned a little more about ourselves in the past seven days!

Hugs, Love, Laughter & Light!

OMGolly Day 4 Crystal Challenge!

Hello all my friends!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Mom & The Marine Corps!!!! Happy Birthday to you!

This has been a MIND blowing day! Let me quickly mention quickly that everyone is feeling better today...thank you for all the positive thoughts, love and energy. Picking my stone today wasn't as easy as in the previous three days. I actually found myself toying with to stones as I laid in bed watching the sunlight brighten my bedroom. My cat, Guinness (yes, he's named after a larger), helped me when he DEMANDED that I pay attention to him, forcing me to put the Leopard Jasper down. He can be very demanding, however insightful as well since it left me with Howlite! Another stone that I haven't worked with but has brought much to light for me.

Not sure about the rest of the 'Crystal Hotties' but this experience has lead me to the BEST people! I feel like my the vision I have been seeing is getting so much brighter, not that it was ever dark. I guess a better descriptions is the color and picture has gone from pixelated to HD to HD 3D!

If you haven't gone to http://www.inneralignmentmandalas.com/index.html and downloaded the 'I AM Love' Mandala my I suggest you do so this second! Do Not pass GO, Do Not Collect $200...it is BEAUTIFUL! I want to carry it in pocket everywhere I go because the energy is perfect! Jill & Michelle are brilliant! Thank you ladies, your gift is priceless! Which leads me to another moment...Jill suggested I went to the Global Vision Quest Mandala sitehttp://www.soulartstudio.com/wordpress/2012/10/global-vision-quest-mandala/

and I did that very moment, only to be blown away even further.  STUNNING!!!

Side note - I have so much going on in my head right now that my fingers and brain can't move together...Ahhhh!

Okay back to the blog...

I realize those who haven't dealt with stone and crystals before may not understand as well what I'm saying but the pattern and connection of events that have occurred in the past 4 days since starting this challenge has been mind blowing. The pieces are starting to come together for me and my journey is on the right track. I am seeing the threads weave the cloth together with each connection I make. Thank you to each of you for being part of the connection, my connection. Thank you for taking the time to create the best possible you and not waiting to live life but grasp it and thrive! Life is not an observation sport it is meant to be lived and lived to its fullest.

My pattern is opening me up to possibilities and great inspiration. You don't have to have crystals or oracle cards to do something like this all you need to do is challenge yourself to find something new each day - see how that resonates with you. You could smile at 7 strangers each day for 7 days and embrace the wonderful feeling of grace when you climb into bed. How about putting positive messages on sticky notes and placing them on mirrors for 7 days...the list is endless. Hibiscus was correct when she said it's just about doing something, committing to it and being open to the messages you receive.

Day 1: Aventurine   =  Heart Chakra

Day 2:  Yellow Jasper =  Solar Plexus Chakra

Day 3: Mookiate = Sacral & Root Chakra

Day 4: Howlite =  Third Eye ( I have spent my day listening!!!)

Hugs, Love, Laughter & Light!

Day 3 - Crystal Challenge

I love sunrise! Currently I'm sitting and enjoying a warm cup of coffee, the peace of the house and watching the sunlight the sky. Such a peaceful feeling...

Reality needs to set in and I have to go wake the kids up for school and dentist appointments but before that happens I wanted to jot down some thoughts about my stone of choice today.

Mookaite - it's Australian Jasper and happens to be another stone I haven't worked with...I see a pattern here! I think I am also seeing a pattern with the chakras - all the lower chakras. Hmmm...perhaps I need to ground. I can believe that since I've been feeling a little scattered - too much chafe (the small particles used to redirect missiles). The environment has been so overloaded with SO much energy between the elections, Sandy and the Nor’easter it isn't always easy for me to ground. Not to forget I've been surrounded by sick kids, husband, and niece...hmmm...

A little later in the day:

Well my day was everything but what I expected - I spent most of it at the clinic waiting for the boys to be seen. One has strep and the other doesn't but definitely has a small virus. Ugh! On the up side I got to start reading the most fantastic book. It made me vibrate all over..."Vibrational Medicine by Richard Gerber, M.D." It's the first book in a long time, in this genera, that has had such a profound effect so quickly. It works with me...AND it brings me back to the Mookaite and Yellow Jasper.

* Yellow Jasper - protects during spiritual work...

* Mookaite - provides balance between inner and out experiences...it also helps the immune system, I need ALL the help I can get!

* The book is permitting both sides of my brain to work in harmony...scary I know!

In some ways I feel like I should be getting more out of this exercise but really it's about so much more than me. Ego keeps trying to control the situation...I need to just "Be" like philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, I think it was in the book ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ it’s been a while since I read his work. When I stop working so hard at finding information it comes into focus – just ‘Be’.

I'm interested to see what stone or crystal tomorrow brings. This is a sparkly journey and a path I need to continue to travel.

Hugs, Love, Laughter & Light!

Krista
