Find Your Magic

Sacred Spaces Issue

Crystal Connections From the Editor Magic is what you make it I have been spending a lot of time thinking of magic and teaching magic, lately. Why? Because we are moving into a time when you can manifest almost instantly. OK, some things take a little more time for the Universe to align all the players, but for the most part, we're always manifesting. Every choice you make affects your life, and someone else's life. Every thought, every feeling has an outcome, a consequence. So why not consciously choose what it is that you WANT to feel and experience? Because that's my definition of magical manifesting. Conscious

choices of EXACTLY what it is that I want, in my life.

What are you choosing?

your heart energy on an even deeper level. List at least 5 things you are grateful for and why.

Here are a few suggestions to show you how you can get started: I am grateful for my partner when he makes me laugh and forget about my fears. I am grateful for my son and how every time I see him, I smile and am filled with pride.

I am grateful for the colorful birds and the songs they sing as they add beauty to the world.

I am grateful for my feet and their ability to take me wherever I want to go. I am grateful for the pure clean water I drink as it cleanses and purifies my system and keeps me healthy.

3) Send Blessings..

This gets super fun when you use your imagination! When you bless others you raise your vibration and feel good. Plus, it amplifies the vibration of love within the universe allowing each thing, person or situation that was blessed the opportunity to grow and experience more love, freedom and joy. For this exercise write down 5 people, things or situations you would like to send blessings to.

As you write them down, imagine a fairy sprinkling them with lots of love and sparkling fairy dust. In doing this, you completely let go of attachment to what they may or may not receive. You’re simply sending them extra love for their day.

4) Magic Ball of Creation.

What would you like to create or have more of in your life?

Take a few deep breaths and ask your Spirit allies to create a Magic Ball of Creation. Picture a golden ball of energy in front of you. Call in and invite the energies or physical manifestations and see them being placed in the ball by your allies. For example: Peace, Freedom, Happiness, Clarity of Purpose, 3 new clients this month, etc. This can be anything you desire, but in order to stay focused and allow the flow into your life keep it to no more than 3 items. Then imagine the ball of energy being placed into your heart. Breathe in this energy and watch it as it expands throughout each and every cell and beyond sending out a call to the universe and inviting it to you. Remember, what you seek is seeking you.

5) Close the ceremony.

Close your journal and place your hands over your heart giving thanks to Spirit, to your allies, to your ancestors and other beings that supported your ritual.

When a space to honor intentions, creations and possibilities is upheld in the highest integrity, then magic begins to take place in your life. As you become clear on what your Soul desires more of and operate from a place of gratitude and love, your vibrations begin to raise to a higher frequency matching the manifestations of what you are inviting in.

Would you like more support in consciously creating your life? Book a 30 minute complimentary Soul Therapy Consultation with Crystal today at www.CrystalRasmussen.com.

Are you living the life your Soul craves?

Sadly, most of us aren’t fully living our lives based on what our soul craves. Instead, our choices are based on fear. We don’t take that chance. We don’t pick up the phone, because we are afraid of rejection. We pass on forgiving, in fear of being hurt again. We don’t start that business, because we are afraid of failing or being laughed at. We don’t quit the job we hate, because we believe there is no other option. We don’t take that trip, because we can’t lose the job we hate. The list goes on and on.

We put off living until tomorrow. What if there wasn’t another tomorrow to achieve all you wanted? Would your choices in life be different?

Life is made up of moments, and each of these create our legacy. These moments are the marks left behind by us on earth, the memory we leave for our loved ones when our time is up and the footprints saying we were here.

These ideas leave me with a few questions: How are you living your life right now? Are you embracing it, or are you pushing it away and telling yourself you will do it later? Are you willing to take a risk and begin to fully live your life, embracing the short time you have here on this amazing planet?

Are you willing to answer your soul’s calling?

If you desire to be free from the conditions that hold you back so you can reach your highest potential, be fully expressed, and understand who you are and how to love yourself deeply I invite you to schedule a complimentary 30 minute Soul Therapist call at www.crystalrasmussen.com.

· Work before play · Money doesn't grow on trees · You are not worthy to receive So these old patterns, at some level, we have bought into, would you agree? We were wired to operate more from a thinking and planning, analytical state of consciousness. Now consciousness shifts and changes, grows and expands. It is time to do something new, in a new cycle, in a new year. AND in a change month such as May, there is no better time to engage in that process! So I encourage you.....let's all consider: Love and Money hold the same frequency so we can correlate this in a number of ways....this is not limited to money, shall we say.

Again, I encourage you to consider.....a shift in our relationship to love and money....I recently have connected to some really great YouTube videos, on manifesting. Whether it be Esther Hicks with

and fear are in that space, correct?!

So this is our opportunity in the month of May to really take some time to observe our thoughts in such a conscious way that we can start working WITH them and CHANGE of thoughts and behaviors.

Really start dreaming again about what we desire!

Allow ourselves to be in a conscious state to match the energy of our desires and believing it can come to fruition first, and I can guarantee you things will magically start to appear in your world that you never thought possible! Abundance, blessings, peace, love, joy and grace. VS. fear, lack, doubt, worry, judgement, scarcity. I am not suggesting this will never come in again. It will, this is how we have opportunities to transform old patterns. It will come in and when it does, we get to simply choose what we are willing to participate in or not. And work with the energy to move through us to be in a state of love, grace, joy and harmony! May is truly the time to change and think outside the box!

Leafmold & Earth tarot Tarot-cast for May/June 2017 Jasmin Maurer @leafmoldandtarot.storenvy.com The number two is calling to us over the next two months, asking us to be patient and find balance. Easy concepts, right? For May, we have the 2 of Cups, a card of love and caring. Connect with those who make up your community. Take time for your friends and loved ones this month. Their company can help you on your journey forward. At the same token, if someone is bringing you negative energy or making you feel tired, don't be afraid to disengage. This is a time to take care of yourself and your emotional needs. Be picky about who you spend your time with, and what kind of emotional labor you provide for others Don't give too much of yourself without getting anything in return. Remember that balance. The right relationships can make you feel part of something bigger. If this month feels a bit lonely, don't forget, your relationship with yourself is just as important  as the ones you have with others. It's a time to be intentional about our relationships on all fronts and be as caring as we can.

June brings some 2 of Wands energy with it, and the card says dominion. Dominion is about control. Whatever life might bring you this June, look for the areas where you can take control. Plan your next steps and be ready to enact your plan when you feel ready, but also remain flexible. Sometimes our best laid plans meet the greatest twists that lead us places we weren't expecting, but end up being right. Look ahead and don't be afraid to take the necessary steps forward. If you've been nurturing yourself and your relationships, like May asked us to do, you should have a good foundation of support backing you up. It is possible to follow our dreams while remaining realistic and grounded. Make some decisions and boldly go forward, always knowing that if something doesn't feel right, you can always adjust as needed along the way.

The over-arching energy for these two months is Magic Maker, a great card for this issue's theme. We all have the capacity to make magic in our lives. This card asks you to look within at your own inner resources, gifts, and power. Set your intentions during these next two months and build your path towards how you plan to reach them.

Remember your external resources as well, your friends and community who bring out the best in you. Use your connections to build upon your hopes and dreams and take charge of the future. It's a great time for transformation as the world itself transforms through spring and into summer. As you move through these months, it might feel like you have one foot in the present and one towards the future, which is a good stance to make some magic happen. Good luck.

That little pep talk started as a joke, a silly quip to lighten things up. Then I realized it's actually spot on.

The picture came to me in an instant; I saw myself pivoting like a basketball player, barely setting my moving foot down before picking it up and spinning to face a different direction. It was not a peaceful

In that instant, I saw how I could ease my over-loaded circuits. I saw how I could back down the intensity I'd been piling on myself, and shift my vibration to something more comfortable for my body to handle.

Stop. Breathe. Simply be where I'm at, take a moment to validate and appreciate all the things that have been lit up, released, brought in, or otherwise bubbled through my consciousness. Exhale, and energetically shift my weight. And then, pick up the other foot.

Life isn't a basketball game, there is no rule against traveling, here. Immediately, I felt a physical change.

My shoulders dropped about a foot and a half, my jaw unclenched, and the buzzing in my brain faded. I felt lighter. More free. Calm. Capable. Empowered.

It was a fun reminder of the power of clairvoyance. I didn't outwardly change a single thing (there's still a metric butt ton of stuff to be done — there always will be). I simply read the energy of what I was feeling; I let a picture pop up that gave me the relevant information.

Goals and Resolutions Galore!

Kailee Holbert/ Holistic Lifestylist & Soul Coach www.countryclassmentor.com www.healthysoul360.com

We're halfway through the year!

How are your goals coming along?

We’re already half way through the year! Let’s get back on track and refocus on our goals, but first let’s get real with ourselves! We’ve either given up on our New Year’s Resolutions already, we’ve fallen off track with focusing on our health, or we want to revisit our goals to get that summer body. If you gave up on those New Year’s Resolutions or have fallen off track, that’s completely okay!

I don’t believe in beating ourselves up over falling off track with our health. The thing though is a lot of us beat ourselves up if we do fall off track, especially us women. It’s just the nature of the beast, I guess. If you’re anything like me, your schedule is crazy busy, there’s no time to fit in that workout or meal prep and going to the gym is expensive. You feel drained, groggy, and guilty, I totally understand. Oh, the lists could go on.

Here are are a few things to remember when you find yourself in these positions: Be gentle on yourself. Seriously, you’re doing the best you can. If you miss a day, a week, or a month of eating healthy or working out it’s seriously no big deal.

Schedule some time for you. If you take time to journal or meditate, schedule some extra time to get that workout in. It can simply be a gentle yoga flow, going for a walk, or dropping that booty to do those squats!

Refocus on your goals. We’re half way through 2017, so revisit your wellness goals anyway. You’re a work in progress.

Find that motivation. I literally will scroll through Instagram or Pinterest to get my motivation back in working out. Remember why you started.

View it differently. Don’t think of working out or eating healthy, as a chore or that it’s expensive. Think of it as you are taking care of yourself. Your body is your temple, remember that.

Now that we’ve taken a new, or different, approach to how to be gentle on ourselves and to views on it all, it’s time to take action. Write those goals down, write them in a journal, write them on sticky notes and place them around your house or bedroom, and get going! To help you out to get back on track, here’s a little recipe that will cleanse your body and wake you up in the mornings! I call it the Ultimate Wake-Up Cleanse! {continued on next page}

TRUE LOVE: Beyond All Boundaries and Expectations

Re-merging with the other half of yourself is no light matter. Yet, Hollywood's depiction of romantic relationships seems to overlook it. Even the New Age conversations about the term "Twin Flames" seems too fleeting for the seriousness of the Celestial Marriage.

A Twin Flame is just that--the other half of your soul incarnated in another form. For the unfolding of the Age of Aquarius, a huge part of the Divine Plan for Earth is to re-establish true love onto the third dimensional plane of reality. One of the manifestations of the Fall of Atlantis was humanity moving into an unbalanced, primarily left brained sphere of consciousness where subjects such as intuition and emotions were disregarded, hence leading to the utter disrespect of the Divine Feminine.

Adam and Eve, whether seen as literal or metaphorical, are examples of the Divine Masculine/Divine Feminine polarity. When paired together in absolute harmony, Divine Union is exemplified in physical form through two vessels. Mother and Father God in flesh. Another, even more profound and elevated example, are none other than the pairing of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.

Angel Connection Are you in need of some help igniting your spark of passion, creativity, and magic? Connect to Arch Angel Michael, for assistance! Close your eyes, place your hands over your heart (like angel wings!), and take a deep breath. The angels always need to be INVITED in to help you, so ask Micheal to guide you to find self growth outside of your comfort zone, to remove fear and anger, and replace them with courage and a feeling of success!

Powerful changes occur when you take a balanced risk or push yourself to do something different. Michael will clear blocks from your sacral chakra, which is located a few inches below your belly button, and is the color orange.

Spend a few minutes looking at the prayer board (below) and use it to connect to Michael's energies, as well as your sacral chakra.
