Staying Balanced in a Changing World |

E-Light from Crystal Herbs - May 2025 |
|
|
|
In this month’s E-Light we explore the invitation for us to step deeper into the transformational energies of awakening that are being presented to us in the current cosmic energy flow. We also explore the importance of loving our shadow selves and allowing any fragmented aspects of personality to reintegrate so that we have a solid foundation that we can rely upon to help us stay balanced, awake and aware in a fast-changing world. As always, we highlight some flower, gem & crystal essences that might be particularly useful to help us move through the month in harmony & balance and you can also find our latest special offers. |

Keeping Your Balance in a Changing World |
|
|
I am sure that you have noticed that the roller coaster ride of change and transformation has gone up a few degrees in intensity over the last few months and while this can sometimes feel challenging to move through it is also very exciting and full of potential for the future. The cosmic energy flow for May is inviting us all to step deeper into this new phase of change as it brings forward more opportunities for us to align with the expansive energies of awakening. We are now entering a time of cosmic reset where over the next few months many of the planets in our solar system will be moving into new positions in the sky as seen from our vantage point on Earth. One by one they are opening new doorways of opportunity and inviting us to step out of the old and instead choose to put our attention and focus on what we would like to create for the future. This is an exciting opportunity but it requires us to stay balanced within ourselves and very much in touch with what needs attention in our inner world. Just being able to allow and observe what is rising to the surface within us from a place of neutrality will help you to stay balanced, afloat and in your power, ready to step into new possibilities. |

Powerfully uplifting May energies |
|
May is always a powerful month spiritually, containing both the celebration of Beltane and the potent Wesak Festival on the May full moon which this year was on May 12th. The Wesak Festival is the spiritual celebration of the birth, life and enlightenment of the Buddha. On the May full moon, the Buddha, as the expression of the Wisdom of God, joins forces with the Christ who is the expression of the Love of God, to pour forth the blessings of the second Ray of Love and Wisdom in a ceremony that takes place on the etheric planes over the Wesak Valley in Tibet. The energy of this potent spiritual offering has the capacity to expand our consciousness and remind us of own our spiritual power and light, washing away the shadows of forgetfulness that we have all lived within for so long. Now is the time for us to remember the exquisite fractal of the whole that we each are and to take the opportunity to allow all that is not resonant with this knowingness to simply release and transform in the light of truth. |

Inner Light Essence is a wonderful combination to help the body, and its energetic structure remember how to absorb and use the regenerative properties of light. I find this essence very helpful to use when there are extra quantities of high frequency light flowing on to the planet as there are at the moment. Flower of Life Essence the ancient pattern of the Flower of Life is the original blueprint for creation in our universe. Use this essence to help release distortions in your own blueprint and connect you more fully with the inter-connectedness and sacredness of Life. Energetic Alignment Spray is a spray that I use regularly to help bring all my subtle bodies, chakras and subtle energy points into greater alignment. It connects me through all of the levels making it easier to receive guidance and inspiration for my path from my spirit. |

With the Sun in Taurus this month, the full moon is in the opposite sign of Scorpio. The energies of a Scorpio full moon tend to take us on a deep dive into our emotional underworld to encounter the shadow aspects of ourselves that still need our love and attention to be able to reintegrate fully. This is a process of deep soul searching, remembering, and the unearthing of deep truths about our path and purpose. We are being asked to allow change and to really feel into where we want to go so that we set new foundations for our future path. This is a hugely important aspect of this month’s energetic offerings because we will need these new foundations in order to keep our balance and stay awake and aware as everything in our world continues to change and evolve. If this feels a bit overwhelming, remember that you know exactly how to negotiate this energy at a soul level and that this is why you are here. Now is the time to strengthen your foundations and anchor more light in so that you can see your path more clearly. It is possible that in this expansive energy flow, we may all find ourselves encountering further layers of our shadow selves that need to be seen, accepted and loved back into wholeness. These shadow aspects are those aspects of our ego that have become separate, lost and disconnected, perhaps through old traumas or difficult emotional experiences, now long forgotten in the past. These are also the parts of us that have a hard time remembering how to see the bigger picture of why we are here and who we are. As a result, they upset our foundations and make it difficult for us to anchor more of our soul self into our human experience. Another way to look at this is that we are being offered an important opportunity to create more balance between our personality / ego self and our soul self. While our ego is an essential part of our human experience, it must be able to work in balance with our heart consciousness and soul self, and it cannot do this while there are still traumatised fragments of it that need love and reintegration. |

Loving Acceptance Spray is the spray to turn to when you find yourself having a hard time accepting a fragment of yourself that needs your love to reintegrate fully. Use the spray consistently for a while and let it take you deep into the vibrational frequency of love & acceptance so that you can remember who you are more clearly. Soul Connection is a great essence to use to strengthen your connection with your soul and help remind your physical and energetic structures how to absorb and use greater and greater quantities of light and love. Higher Heart Chakra is the essence to use to help expand your connection with your higher heart and sacred heart centre. It will help expand qualities of compassion and forgiveness as well as opening up your connection with your soul/spirit. |

Recognising and owning our fragments |
|
In the energy flow that we have right now our fragments can come into awareness and rebalance much more easily than they used to even a few short years ago. The ever-increasing quantity of expansive high frequency light flowing onto the planet and through our energy fields at the moment is potently lifting into awareness any aspects of us that have not yet remembered their wholeness. This is very positive from the perspective of being able to step more fully into our light and power, but potentially a little disconcerting and uncomfortable when we go through the experience. Alongside this our everyday world is changing fast, amidst much chaos and confusion which is all a wonderful source of triggers for aspects of us that still await integration. When we are confronted with a fragmented shadow aspect of ourselves it usually does not feel comfortable and it is not uncommon for it to throw us temporarily off balance, especially if it is something that has a lot of old emotion connected with it.For instance a part of ourselves that is very fearful, angry, doesn’t feel safe, feels disempowered, unloved or not enough in some way. In the moment none of these are easy emotions to feel and stay present with so we might initially find it difficult to separate ourselves from the emotion enough to recognise that a fragmented part of ourselves just needs our help. |

Allow your heart to guide you |
|
Whatever the situation, take a few deep breaths and consciously choose to move into the loving energies of your heart space as best you can in that moment. Feel deeply into what is arising for you. Maybe it is fear that has been triggered off or judgement, or doubt, or a feeling of helplessness etc. Just allow yourself to explore and give yourself lots of time to do so. Invite the fragments of yourself that are feeling so uncomfortable to come and sit with you in the warmth of your heart and allow them to reveal how they feel and the ‘story’ that they have become stuck in. Remember to stay very present and just be the detached observer, in the same way as you would for a friend who was going through a difficult time and needed to talk about it. As you go through this process you will get some insights, some of the energy around the situation will start to loosen up and soften. Stay very present and pay attention to any emotions that are doing a good job of hanging in there making the old story still feel real and making it difficult for the fragment to fully reintegrate. Notice whether you are able to be unconditional with yourself and just accept all parts of you just as you are without judgement. Remember that when we move away from love and acceptance for ourselves, we also move away from our centre and our connection to our soul self. Your sense of yourself and your acceptance for who you are as a soul spirit is what creates your foundation and allows the universe to respond to you from the fullness of who you are. Without this the energies are disturbed and deflected somewhat, and we lose clarity and perspective. Now is the time for us to consciously align all parts of ourselves into a solid foundation that we can rely upon to guide us through the turbulence of life in a changing world. Feel yourself anchored into your heart, deeply connected with Mother Earth and fully aligned with your soul spirit. In this configuration you always have a flow of wisdom, strength and power available to you. The more of us that can put our focus here the greater the foundational web of support will become to help others do the same. |

Self Acceptance Essence is a wonderful essence to use when you need support to expand your capacity to be unconditional and non-judgemental with yourself, something that we all need from time to time. Hara Activation Essence promotes a sense of fulfilment as well as greater understanding of your true purpose and a feeling of being centred fully in the physical body. Perfect for the times we live in right now. Being Present Essence is a great essence to use when you need help to stay fully present and focused in the now moment. Strengthening this ability is particularly helpful when we are working to reintegrate lost fragments of ourselves. Inner Wisdom Essence is the essence to take when you need to expand the link between the consciousness of the heart, mind & soul, to open the doorways to your own deep inner wisdom. |

Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences for yourself, family and friends… |
|
| | The Self Acceptance Essence is all about releasing judgement and helping you to open your heart to yourself and others. It gently helps you to work with all of the aspects within you that find it hard to feel love and acceptance for yourself as you are. It helps you to develop a greater feeling of unconditional love for yourself, so, if you tend to judge yourself or others, or you have an underlying belief that you are in some way unworthy of love, this would be a really helpful essence to use. |
|
|
| | Emerald is a powerful essence to use for all emotional issues that relate to the heart chakra. In particular it promotes a greater acceptance of the masculine energy and is useful in situations where there are emotional issues or difficulties with the father or a father figure. Emerald helps with hidden fears and it has a generally stabilising effect on the personality at an emotional level and can be supportive for those who easily get caught up in persistent patterns of thought. |

| | Snapdragon flower essence is all about expression and communication and works strongly in the throat chakra. Snapdragon is really useful if you find it difficult to articulate what you want to say or if you experience suppressed emotions like rage and frustration which build up inside because you are unable to express them in a healthy way. Snapdragon aligns the mental, emotional and causal bodies so you can express yourself more easily and be more logical. |

| | Wild Orchid is a very helpful Essence if you have feelings of doubt, uncertainty or a sense of separation that are a very deep rooted and recurring theme through your life. It's also very helpful for if you have a fear of trusting your intuition because of past ‘mistakes’. Wild Orchid relates to Dr Bach’s Uncertainty Group - Cerato, Gentian, Gorse, Hornbeam, Scleranthus & Wild Oat. |
|
|
| | The Brow Chakra Essence is a powerful and very useful combination for working with issues around inner knowing or intuition and a lack of faith in yourself or the universe. It's also very helpful if you find that you have an overly mental approach to life, an inability to focus your thoughts, or a feeling of being stuck in the small details of life. It's a good choice when you often have feelings of ‘I don’t know’ or find it hard to see the bigger picture. |

| | Blackthorn flower essence brings a higher perspective and understanding to old and deep fears. It is particularly effective for transforming fears which may have no logical reason for them but which you have unconsciously absorbed. These can often be Karmic, ancestral or absorbed in utero before you were born. As blackthorn essence is taken, these crystallised fear vibrations can be dissolved and more light can be metabolised in your energy system. |
|
|
| | The Inner Light Essence is a a blend of all five Platonic Solid Essences & Sphere, together with Gold, Shattuckite & Green Calcite. It's a powerful combination that will help your body and its energetic structure remember how to absorb and use the regenerative properties of light, helping to remind you of your original patterning of perfection. It's a really good combination for raising consciousness at all levels of your being. |
