Pyrite crystal for releasing money blocks at the Leo full moon, 12th February 2025

Pyrite crystal for releasing money blocks at the Leo full moon, 12th February 2025

The full moon in Leo on February 12th, 2025 is aligned with Uranus in a T-square which could push you into whole new timelines, or send shockwaves into your current reality. Let the changes roll in! We also have a Mars-Saturn trine in water signs at this Leo full moon to help the process of change move more smoothly. Click HERE to read about the energies of the full moon and HERE to listen to the guided meditation.

A full moon in Leo is about boldness, self-expression, and the unwavering belief that you deserve success. And when it comes to attracting financial abundance, pyrite is the ultimate crystal ally.

Known as “Fool’s Gold,” but holding nothing foolish about its power, pyrite is a dynamic force for manifestation, confidence, and prosperity. Its golden shimmer is a reflection of the wealth and success waiting to be claimed.

Under the full moon in Leo, pyrite becomes an amplifier, breaking through old financial blocks, awakening a mindset of prosperity, and igniting the determination needed to create true abundance.

 

 

The fire of confidence

Leo, ruled by the sun, thrives in self-assurance, leadership, and creative self-expression. Pyrite holds a similarly fiery energy, stimulating personal power and the belief that financial success is not only possible but inevitable.

If fear, insecurity, or limiting beliefs about money have been holding you back, working with pyrite under the full moon in Leo is like setting a match to those doubts—burning them away so you can step fully into your financial potential.

This moon is not about playing small. Leo doesn’t whisper, it roars. And pyrite fuels that energy, helping you:

  • Step into financial confidence: own your worth, raise your standards, and release hesitation around making, asking for, or receiving money.
  • Eliminate money blocks: identify the limiting beliefs that have been restricting your financial flow.
  • Ignite ambition: get clear on your financial goals and remove any self-imposed ceilings.

 

Clearing negative money beliefs with pyrite

For many, money is wrapped in layers of fear, shame, or outdated conditioning. Maybe you were taught that wealth is hard to come by, that desiring success makes you greedy, or that financial freedom is only for other people – not you.

These beliefs, often inherited and absorbed unconsciously, create energetic money blocks, preventing wealth from flowing freely into your life.

Pyrite acts as a cleansing force, cutting through these illusions and replacing them with a mindset of abundance.

As the full moon in Leo reminds us, success isn’t just about working hard – it’s about believing you are worthy of it.

Pyrite reinforces that belief, helping you step into financial empowerment with the certainty that you deserve to thrive.

Why pyrite and the Leo full moon are the perfect pair

Pyrite radiates confidence; Leo thrives on it. Together, they encourage boldness in money matters.

Leo’s full moon reveals self-sabotage; pyrite clears it. If doubts around wealth have been lingering, this is the time to let them go.
Both pyrite and Leo amplify manifestation energy. If there’s ever a time to get clear on financial goals, it’s now.

Claim your wealth with pyrite’s power

The Leo Full Moon is a mirror reflecting back your power, creativity, and potential. If you’ve been playing small when it comes to money, pyrite is here to shift that story.

It’s a reminder that abundance is your birthright, and the only thing standing in the way of financial success is the belief that you can’t have it.

Under this moon, clear the blocks, set bold intentions, and take inspired action. Whether it’s negotiating a better salary, launching a business, or simply trusting that you are worthy of wealth, let pyrite and Leo’s fire guide you.

The time for hesitation is over. Step into your financial power, release old limitations, and let abundance flow.

 

Meditation for the LEO full moon to release MONEY BLOCKS

 

Before you begin, bring your awareness to your relationship with money, symbolising release. Without judgment, allow any fears, anxieties, or limiting beliefs to surface. Maybe they sound like: I’ll never have enough. Money is hard to keep. I don’t deserve financial success. Whatever arises, let it come forward, acknowledging its presence.

 

 

Journal on any fears you have about money or security. Honour their roots, then burn the paper.

Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Sit comfortably, with your feet planted on the ground and your hands resting gently on your lap.

Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs completely, and exhale slowly, releasing any tension.

Close your eyes and let your breath settle into a natural, steady rhythm. Feel the weight of your body against the surface beneath you.

With each inhale, imagine yourself drawing in calm, grounding energy. With each exhale, let go of any tension, any worries, any resistance.

Above you, a warm, golden light begins to descend. This light is rich, radiant, shimmering with the energy of limitless abundance. It is here for you. It always has been. Feel it wrap around you, filling every space within and around you.

With each breath, this golden light dissolves any lingering fears. It clears away hesitation, self-doubt, and limitation. Feel these old blocks lift from your body, like mist rising in the morning sun, fading into nothing.

Now, the golden light flows into your heart, filling you with a deep, unwavering confidence. You are stepping into a new way of being — one where abundance is natural, effortless, and always flowing to you.

In this space of clarity and power, repeat silently or out loud:

I release all money blockages. I receive abundance.

I release all money blockages. I receive abundance.

I release all money blockages. I receive abundance.

Feel the truth of these words resonating deep within you. There are no more barriers. No more doubts. Only possibility, prosperity, and trust.

Breathe in this energy. Hold it in your heart. When you feel ready, bring your awareness back to the present moment. Wiggle your fingers, your toes. Feel the surface beneath you, solid and steady.

And when you are ready, open your eyes. You are renewed. You are empowered. And you are ready to receive.

Fire & Ice quartz to create an inspired vision board at the new moon in Aquarius, 29th January, 2025

Fire & Ice quartz to create an inspired vision board at the new moon in Aquarius, 29th January, 2025

With its dazzling play of light and fractures, fire & ice quartz is the perfect crystal companion for the new moon in Aquarius. This high-vibrational stone is revered for its ability to balance opposing energies fire for action and passion, ice for calm and clarity.

 

Like the innovative and forward-thinking sign of Aquarius, fire & ice quartz is all about aligning with your higher self and channelling energy into meaningful, collective change.

 

Aquarius’ energy is visionary and humanitarian, urging you to dream big and think beyond your own lives. Fire & ice quartz, with its unique blend of grounding and elevating qualities, can help you stay balanced as you set your intentions.

 

This unique crystal energy is perfect for creating vision bords, supporting clarity, amplifying intentions, and encouraging you to embrace transformation, making it a must-have for your Aquarius new moon ritual.

 

The stone’s name says it all – fire & ice quartz embodies duality, inviting you to harmonise fiery ambition with icy tranquility, a balance that’s especially potent under Aquarius’ influence.

 

As a sign ruled by Uranus, the planet of sudden change (who is just about to station direct), Aquarius pushes us toward breakthroughs and bold visions. This crystal is your grounding force amid this dynamic energy, helping you stay calm while pursuing your loftiest dreams.

 

So if you’re keen to make the most of this sign’s infamous high-vibrational energy, you’re in luck: Fire & ice quartz amplifies it beautifully. Its fractured inclusions act as channels for light, symbolising clarity and purpose, which means that meditating with this crystal can help you dispel negative energy, embrace optimism, and visualise your ideal future.

 

To begin, take a piece of Fire & Ice Quartz (you’ll find one in this month’s signature Blue Ivory box) and gather the tools to craft your very own vision board. Sit down before your blank canvas and close your eyes.

 

Take a moment to visualise the electric energy radiating from this powerful new moon, like lightning bolts igniting your intentions. Hold your crystal in your hand, allowing its transformative energy to flow through you.

 

Feel it bridging the gap between your earthly desires and spiritual insight, channelling divine inspiration into your vision board as you energise your spirit, awaken fresh ideas, and bring your dreams to life.

 

Meditation for the new moon in Aquarius To inspire creativity before creating a vision board

 

Before you begin, find a quiet, comfortable place. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth, relaxing your shoulders and releasing any tension in your body. 

 

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Let your shoulders relax as you feel your tension begin to melt away. Allow yourself to become fully present in this moment. 

 

Visualise a stormy sky above you, powerful and alive with energy. Suddenly, brilliant lightning will strike one after another, directly above you.

 

Breathe deeply. Feel the electric intensity ignite a spark deep within you, bright, vibrant and unstoppable.

 

As the lightning continues to strike, imagine a bolt hitting your crown chakra, lighting up your thoughts, and infusing your being with creativity. This energy cascades down through your entire body, rounding itself at the Earth, connecting you through limitless possibilities. 

Feel the charge, energise your spirit, awakening fresh ideas and inspired breakthroughs.


Stay here for a moment, taking in the electric bus of creativity before slowly returning to the present, feeling recharged and ready to create.

Aquamarine to soothe the soul and release negativity at the Cancer full moon, 13th January, 2025

Aquamarine to soothe the soul and release negativity at the Cancer full moon, 13th January, 2025

Every bit as serene as the shimmering waves of an azure ocean, it’s little wonder that this luminous crystal resonates so deeply with Cancer. After all, the water sign is the guardian of our emotional tides – and aquamarine (named after the Latin word for seawater) is the soothing balm that the Crab’s sensitive soul craves.

Known for being nurturing and intuitive, many believe – wrongly – that Cancer takes matters of the heart in her stride. Don’t be fooled by that powerful shell, though; the mother of the Zodiac is known to marinade in her big and ever-shifting feelings, resulting in a sacred rage that absolutely needs to be released… but how?

 

Well, tied to the flowing energy of the throat chakra, channeling the innate power of aquamarine allows the guarded Crab to do the unthinkable: confront her fears of vulnerability, and express her heart’s truths with calm, clarity, and purpose. In doing so, the Moon’s intuitive child can let go of any lingering fears, frustrations, and tensions that might be holding her back – and strengthen her powers of manifestation in the process, too. 

 

To awaken aquamarine’s healing magic, you can immerse it in water beneath the silvery glow of a full moon, birthing a sacred “moon elixir” for emotional renewal. When the Full Moon graces Cancer’s domain, however, a meditative water ritual can amplify the crystal’s power.

 

To do this, take an aquamarine bracelet (you’ll find one in this month’s signature Blue Ivory box) and run yourself a warm bath or shower. Then, hold your aquamarine bracelet beneath the ebb of the water, before closing your eyes. Take a moment to imagine all of that emotional heaviness washing away. Then, place the bracelet on your wrist and let its energy flow through you from head to toe.

 

If you truly want to align your aquamarine with the Crab’s celestial essence, allow yourself the space and time to journal all of the things you’d like to let go of before you begin your aquamarine ceremony. Then, once you’ve finished your ‘water ritual’, you can safely burn the paper you have written on and flush away the ashes. The water will carry your burdens off, helping you connect with your inner self and set clear intentions for the year ahead and navigate any upcoming challenges with grace. 

 

Meditation for the Cancer full moon to release negative energy.

 

Before you begin, find a quiet, comfortable place. Sit down with a notebook and pen. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension in your body. Now, write down what you wish to release.

 

 

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, and as you exhale, let your body completely relax. Continue to breathe deeply and evenly. Let any lingering thoughts simply float past

 

Visualise a shimmering silver water cascading over your skin, creating a that light wraps you in a protective shield. 

 

Breathe deeply. Feel the silver light dancing on your skin as it gently raises your vibration, allowing the flowing water to cleanse your aura.

 

As the water falls to the earth, imagine it carrying away the emotional heaviness you’ve been holding.

 

Visualise the water dissolving any tension, sadness, or worry, washing it down the drain and far, far away.

 

With each drop, feel yourself becoming lighter, as though the burden on your heart is melting.

 

Repeat to yourself, “I release what no longer serves me.

 

When you feel ready, open your eyes and take a deep breath, refreshed and renewed.

Ocean jasper is one of the best crystals to work with Capricorn energy.

Meditation for the Capricorn new moon to help manifest your 2025 goals

 

Before you begin, find a quiet, comfortable place. Sit down with a notebook and pen. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any tension in your body.

 

Step 1: Write Your Goals

Take a moment to think about what you truly want to accomplish this year. Write down three specific goals, each with a clear deadline. Be as precise as possible.

  1. Goal One: ________________________
    Deadline: ________________________

 

  1. Goal Two: ________________________
    Deadline: ________________________

 

  1. Goal Three: ________________________
    Deadline: ________________________

 

Pause for a moment, reading over your goals. Feel the excitement and commitment building within you.

 

Sit in a comfortable meditative position with the ocean jasper crystal in your right hand. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Exhale and begin to relax.

Feel the air filling your lungs like a wave of golden light, energising every cell in your body. As you exhale, imagine releasing all tension, doubts and distractions. 

With each breath, feel yourself becoming lighter and more centred. Inhale the energy of new beginnings, and exhale anything that no longer serves you. 

Let your shoulders relax, your jaw soften and your mind quiet. Continue to breathe like this for a few moments.

Imagine yourself standing at the beginning of a golden path, stretching far into the distance. This path represents the year ahead, ripe with opportunities and potential.

Just a few moments ahead of you is your first goal, glowing brightly like a guiding star. Take your first step forward, feeling the ground firm beneath your feet, supporting your journey. With each step, you get closer.

As you arrive at your first goal, reach out and touch it. Imagine the feeling of accomplishment washing over you. Bask in the joy of this success. You did it. You made it happen.

As you stand in front of your goal, enjoy this feeling of victory for a few more breaths.

When you are ready, let yourself look further down the golden path, where your second goal shines like a lighthouse on the horizon. You are filled with confidence after achieving your first milestone. See yourself taking steady steps toward this next success.

On each breath, inhale gratitude. On each exhale, relax your body.

As you reach this next goal, imagine celebrating your achievement. Picture the people in your life sharing in your happiness, proud of how far you’ve come. Feel the power of this accomplishment lighting you up from within. Enjoy this feeling of victory for a few more moments.

Turn your focus toward the very end of the golden path, where your final goal radiates with possibility. You’ve come so far, grown so much. Feel how strong, capable and ready you are.

Take those last steps, feeling joy and pride in every fibre of your being. As you reach this final goal, place your hands on your heart and silently say, “I’ve done it. I am worthy of every success I create.”

Now continue breathing for a few more moments in a sense of gratitude. 

When you are ready, gently open your eyes and take a deep breath in, sealing this energy of success, and exhale slowly. Know that these goals are already in motion.

The healing properties of ocean jasper for the Capricorn new moon, December 30th, 2024

Ocean Jasper isn’t just pretty to look at, its swirling patterns mirror the tides of life, reminding us that progress isn’t always linear. This mesmerising crystal holds a unique energy that feels like a breath of fresh sea air, filling you with joy and helping you navigate life’s ups and downs with grace.

For Capricorns, who thrive on structure and ambition, ocean jasper is a game-changer. It’s the perfect complement to our driven nature, softening the edges of our determination with playful, supportive vibes. Ocean Jasper is like a gentle ocean current, keeping us on course while encouraging a little dance with life’s shifting tides. Ahhhh.

 

Releasing Stress & Cultivating Joy: Capricorns are no strangers to responsibility. They often carry the weight of their ambitions—and sometimes the world—on their shoulders. Ocean Jasper steps in as an energetic reset button, dissolving tension and inviting fun back into the process of chasing dreams. Imagine it like a soothing wave washing over you after a long, exhausting climb. As any spiritual boss knows, when ypou are able to relax and enjoy life you release stress, opening the door to creative problem-solving and a renewed sense of purpose.

 

Staying Aligned with Purpose: Ocean Jasper is a crystal of alignment. For Capricorns, who crave meaning and purpose in everything they do, this stone is a loyal companion. Its energy strengthens your connection to your intentions, reminding you why you’re climbing that metaphorical mountain in the first place. Even when challenges arise, Ocean Jasper keeps you inspired, ensuring your goals remain infused with the passion and dedication that make them worthwhile.

 

Embracing Change with Grace: The Capricorn sea goat has a dual nature: part mountain climber, part mystical sea creature. While their grounded side loves stability, their watery side understands the inevitability of change. Ocean Jasper helps bridge these two energies, encouraging Capricorns to view setbacks and shifts not as failures but as opportunities for growth. It invites curiosity and confidence when navigating the unknown, making it easier to adapt and flow with life’s tides.

 

Boosting Self-Expression: Capricorns are natural leaders, but their reserved nature can sometimes make it difficult for them to express their true selves. Ocean Jasper, with its connection to the solar plexus chakra, supports authentic communication and confident self-expression. Whether you’re pitching ideas, leading a team, or pursuing a creative passion, this crystal amplifies your ability to shine. It’s like a little cheerleader in your pocket, reminding you to trust your voice and let it be heard.

 

Ocean Jasper’s influence isn’t just for the  Capricorn new moon. Its energy resonates with anyone ready to embrace joy, adapt to life’s changes and stay aligned with their true purpose. But for Capricorn’s ambitious, steadfast spirit, this crystal feels like a tailor-made ally. It reminds them that success isn’t just about hard work and perseverance; it’s also about balance, flow and a little bit of fun!

With Ocean Jasper in hand, every goal feels a little more achievable and every challenge a little less daunting. It’s not just about getting to the top of the mountain; it’s about enjoying the climb and the view along the way.

Known as the Genius Stone, oooh! Fluorite helps clear mental fog, enhance concentration and sharpen intuition, making it an ideal crystal for times of high mental energy, like this weekend’s Gemini full moon.

With Mercury finishing his retrograde at the same time as this full moon, there is also a call to look back to the past. Fluorite can help you recall past memories, sorting through the dust for gems your intuition have been preparing for you to access.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, stirs up the winds of communication, curiosity and change. Fluorite energy helps you sift through Gemini’s flurry of ideas, separating inspiration from mental clutter, allowing only what serves your highest purpose to stick while releasing unnecessary mental chatter. 

Fluorite crystal’s stabilising energy also supports honest self-reflection while helping you see multiple perspectives clearly, a Gemini speciality! Allow it to help you ride Gemini’s creative winds without getting swept away.

 

HERE’s a meditation that works with fluorite crystal to help reflect on your journey…

 

 

Meditation for the Gemini full moon, 15th December 2024, to help you write a letter to your past self and reflect on your journey

 

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit with a journal or piece of paper and a pen. Close your eyes and take a moment to settle into your body. Breathe in deeply… and exhale slowly. Let your shoulders drop and your face relax.

Gently bring to mind a version of your past self. It could be you at a specific age or during a meaningful time in your life, perhaps a moment of challenge, growth or joy. Picture yourself clearly, just as you were then.

Acknowledge that this past version of you carried everything that led to who you are today, the lessons, the struggles, the joys and even the missteps. 

Continue to breathe for a few moments as you visualise yourself sending loving kindness to your past self. Remember how far you have come, and how proud you would have been to see where you are now.

Feel gratitude for your journey, knowing that every experience shaped your current path.

 


When you have finished, try writing a letter to this past version of yourself. Let your words flow naturally. You might start by acknowledging where they were at that time in life or reflecting on a specific memory.

Consider including:

  • What you wish they had known back then.
  • What you appreciate about how they handled things, even when it was hard.
  • Lessons you’ve learned that they helped you discover.


Take a moment to read the letter back to yourself silently. Notice how it feels to send love and gratitude to your past self.

Meditation for the Sagittarius new moon, 1st December 2024, to help manifest abundance through visualising your goals

 

As this meditation was chosen for the December Sagittarius new moon, you might like to incorporate the energy of your Christmas tree, if you have one! Use ribbons to write your goals on and tie them around the branches. You can also hang your yellow aventurine necklace on the tree when you’re not wearing it.

Stand before your tree, feeling its strong, grounding presence. Let the sight of it fill you with a sense of calm and connection. Allow it to invite you into a space of possibility and magic. Take a moment to admire its branches, each one ready to hold your hopes and dreams.

 

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, allowing your chest to expand fully. Exhale slowly, releasing any tension or doubt. 

With your eyes still closed, begin to imagine your dream as if it has already come true. 

Picture every detail, the sights, the sounds, the feelings that come with it. Let yourself be fully immersed in this vision.

See yourself thriving, joyful, and at peace in this reality. 

As you breathe, let this image grow brighter and more vivid, filling your mind and heart with its warmth.

If any resistance comes up, any fears or doubt, allow them to flow down into the ground beneath you where they fade away.

When you have finished, write your intentions on ribbons, and hang them from your tree. Be sure to spend some time journaling and practising EFT on any fears that arise.

You can practise this meditation daily as a way to connect with your manifestations and visualise your goals.

Sit comfortably, holding your rhodochrosite in your hand. Close your eyes and take a few deep, steady breaths, letting each one bring a wave of relaxation over you.

Visualise roots growing from the soles of your feet, stretching down, reaching into the earth. Feel these roots anchoring you, linking you with the grounding, nurturing energy of nature. 

This is your safe space, a sanctuary where you can explore, release, and welcome change.

Gently turn your focus to the idea of change. As you settle into this thought, notice any resistance that arises in your body. Where do you feel it? Perhaps it’s in your belly, shoulders, or somewhere else entirely. Take a moment to observe these sensations, without judgement or hurry. Acknowledge their presence, noticing how they feel in your body.

Shift your attention now to your breath. With each inhale, picture yourself drawing in fresh, cleansing energy, allowing it to fill every part of you, revitalising and restoring. As you exhale, release any fears or tension surrounding change. See these fears dissolve into the earth beneath you, gently absorbed and transformed by the steady strength of the ground.

As you continue to breathe, begin affirming your adaptability and openness to new possibilities. Silently or aloud, repeat words like, “I am grounded, adaptable, and open to positive change.” Let these words settle within you, reinforcing your connection to the earth and your readiness to embrace whatever comes.

Continue breathing deeply, repeating your affirmations as they echo through your being. Feel the grounding energy of the earth beneath you and the cleansing flow of your breath. When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes.

Larvikite crystal for retrieving lost parts of yourself at the Scorpio new moon, 1st November, 2024

Larvikite crystal for retrieving lost parts of yourself at the Scorpio new moon, 1st November, 2024

Larvikite crystal is a unique stone located only in the ancient lands of Norway’s Larvik Fjord region, carrying a raw power that resonates with the earth’s energy on a super deep level. A member of the Feldspar family, larvikite is often mistaken for black moonstone or labradorite, likely due to the way it catches the light in flashes of silver and blue, but don’t let its chameleon vibes fool you. This is a totally unique crystal energy that is believed to hold a wisdom that goes beyond lifetimes. Oh my! 

 

Perfectly suited to soul fragment retrieval (the process of recalling lost parts of yourself) especially under this week’s Scorpio’s new moon, larvikite crystal offers an energetic embrace that says, ‘You’re safe here. Let’s find what you’ve lost.’

Larvikite and Soul Fragment Retrieval

Soul fragment retrieval is about reaching back into the shadowy parts of your own experiences, often to moments of pain or trauma, to reclaim aspects of yourself that may have splintered off. These fragments could be tied to events or even people that left us feeling lost or vulnerable. 

Scorpio, with its penetrating energy, gives you the courage to face these shadows without turning away. Larvikite, on the other hand, anchors as you navigate this deep territory, providing both protection and a clear pathway forward. Its grounded energy connects you back to your roots, helping you feel anchored while diving into realms of the subconscious.

If you feel like a part of you has been lost, perhaps a sense of childlike wonder, a spark of creativity, or a particular strength, larvikite is like a hand reaching out from the earth itself, steadying you as you reclaim these precious pieces. It helps balance the dance between the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring that you remain present and aware while gathering up what was once scattered.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Begin by taking a deep breath, inhaling through your nose, letting your lungs fill fully. Exhale gently through your mouth, releasing any tension. Feel your body soften, becoming more at ease with each breath. Continue like this for a few more moments.

Picture roots extending from the base of your spine, reaching deep into the earth, anchoring you here in the moment. 

As you breathe in again, set an intention within yourself to call back all parts of your energy that may be scattered across places, people or moments in the past. Trust that this quiet intention will help restore your sense of wholeness.

In your mind’s eye, imagine yourself surrounded by a warm, glowing light. Your energy field. Now, repeat the words in your head. “I now call back all parts of myself.” “I now call back all parts of myself.” 

Visualise these fragments as soft orbs of light, drifting back to you like stars returning to the night sky. Watch them merge with your energy field.

Allow these pieces to reintegrate, feeling your aura grow brighter and stronger with each breath. A deep sense of peace settles within as each fragment finds its place.

Now,bring to awareness a place, person or situation from which you’d like to release yourself. Picture a fine, golden cord connecting you to this memory. Visualise yourself cutting this cord. Feel it fall away. Notice how your energy feels lighter and more complete. 

 


When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.

Inner child healing with rose quartz crystal

Let’s be real: healing the inner child is no small task! So much of it involves facing feelings of abandonment or not feeling good enough, issues that often started in childhood (or even past lives!) but follow us into our adult lives, showing up in our relationships and how we treat ourselves. Rose quartz can help remind you that self-compassion is everything. It’s all about forgiving yourself, whether it’s for thinking you weren’t enough or for carrying those old hurts for far too long.

What makes rose quartz so perfect for inner child healing is its ability to connect us back to a sense of innocence and joy. Often, in adulthood, we become disconnected from the parts of ourselves that once found happiness in the simplest things.

Love yourself

By working with this crystal, we’re reminded that life isn’t just about the pain we’ve experienced, but also about the joy we are capable of feeling. It encourages us to look at the world with fresh eyes, just like we did when we were young. This is crucial in inner child healing because we’re not just here to soothe the wounds; we’re also here to reclaim the lightness and playfulness we might have lost along the way.

As you meditate with rose quartz, especially during powerful moments like the Aries Full Moon, you create space for a more peaceful, loving relationship with yourself. You might feel inspired to dance, laugh or indulge in something that makes your heart sing, no matter how small. This is the crystal reminding you that your inner child deserves joy, and so do you!

Ultimately, Rose Quartz is a balm for the soul. Its energy cultivates a deep sense of inner peace, helping us to stop the war we so often wage with ourselves. It’s like a sigh of relief, a reminder that you are safe, that you are loved, and that healing is possible.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Here’s a meditation you might like to try to help connect with your inner child. Breathe deeply. Let each inhale fill your lungs with a sense of calm, and each exhale release any tension or worry.

 

Bring to mind a memory from your childhood, one where you needed comfort but didn’t receive it. Allow yourself to gently step into that moment, observing it as if you’re watching a scene unfold.

 

Breathe deeply, simply allowing any emotions or thoughts to flow through the body, letting them pass you by.


Now, imagine your adult self stepping into the memory. Visualise yourself approaching your younger self with love and compassion.


Open your arms and offer your inner child a loving hug. Feel the warmth and connection between you. Let your inner child know that you’re here now, that they’re safe, and you’ve got their back.


Kneel beside your inner child and offer them the comfort and support you needed back then. Speak softly, sharing the words you longed to hear, whether it’s reassurance, love, or simply a reminder that everything will be okay.


When you feel the connection has deepened, take a few moments to just be with your inner child. Breathe, allowing the feeling of comfort and love to wash over both of you.


When you are ready, gently return to the present moment. Take a deep breath and open your eyes slowly, bringing with you the peace and healing of this moment.

 


When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.

Meditation to heal the heart at the Libra solar eclipse, October 2nd, 2024

Here’s a meditation you might like to try to help you to visualise this healing energy. Breathe deeply. Let each inhale fill your lungs with a sense of calm, and each exhale release any tension or worry.  With each breath, you are slowly peeling away the layers of the outside world and stepping into a soft, safe space within yourself.

As you breathe, allow any tension in your body to gently release with each exhale. With every breath, feel yourself becoming more present in this moment. Continue like this for a few more moments.

Bring your attention to the centre of your chest, to the area of your heart where a small rose bud appears. With every breath you take, the rose starts to slowly open, revealing delicate pink petals..

This rose represents your heart, your emotions, and your soul’s journey. As the rosebud begins to unfurl, imagine each petal representing memories, relationships and experiences tied to old patterns.

Focus on the affirmation, “I release what no longer serves me and embrace the balance and harmony within my heart.”

With each exhale, see a petal gently falling away from the rose. As it falls, it is carried away by a soft, warm breeze. With each petal that falls, feel a sense of release and lightness growing in your heart. 

 

Continue breathing deeply and releasing more petals. Each petal falling away leaves you feeling freer and more at peace. There is no need to hold on to these old ways anymore. Trust that as you release them, you are making space for something new and more balanced to enter your life.

As the last petal falls, you are left with the centre of the rose in your heart. In this centre, you see a radiant golden light emerging. This light represents pure love, self-compassion, and inner harmony.

Feel this golden light expanding in your heart, filling the entire area with warmth and healing energy. With each inhale, the light grows brighter and stronger. With each exhale, it spreads further through your body, radiating outwards, surrounding you in a cocoon of warmth and peace.

Stay with this feeling of warmth and light in your heart centre for a few moments. 

Knowing that this golden light of self-love and balance will remain with you, even as the meditation comes to an end, slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your physical body. Open your eyes and focus on a feeling of forgiveness.
