3 CANDLE COLOURS & USES For centuries candles of different colours have been burned to attract desired emotions, material wealth, or karma. Candles can be one of the most effective tools used for meditation, rituals and other ceremonies. The size of the candles you use is not important. It is the colour and its meaning that matters! Only fresh candles should be used. This avoids issues with candles that have picked up negative energies and vibrations interfering with the ritual or meditation and adversely affecting the outcome. Traditionally, candles should be lit with matches and should be snuffed out, not blown out. Meditate and establish a psychic link between the candle and yourself. Be specific in what you ask for and don't get greedy. Do not use candles to put negative energy onto others. Always be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Below you will find a list of individual candle colours and the meanings and uses associated with that colour.

How have you been feeling lately? There was a palpable shift that occurred after the 19 th of February that brought many of us an overall sense of peace, even though there were a few days in between that still had some residual effects of Mercury in retrograde. For those mindful that their reality is a direct result of their projected ideas/thoughts about it, those few days provided clear feedback as to what things we can continue to polish up, as we enter a gentler year ahead. The Equinox and the Total Solar Eclipse Beginning in early March, the energies start to build toward the equinox (spring for the Northern Hemisphere, autumn for the Southern Hemisphere). This occurs on Friday, March 20 at 6:45 PM EDT (10:45 PM GMT). To add to this already exciting time of transformation, we will also be experiencing a total solar eclipse on the same day as the equinox! So what does this mean for us? The equinox serves as a doorway between the spiritual and physical world, enabling a powerful renewal to occur. This renewal elevates our consciousness to be able to seed greater love and wisdom into the very real, present moment. It s Divine Alchemy in its full glory! The equinox is also a time when the creative gifts we ve been nurturing throughout the summer and winter months can fully be realized and expressed, to inspire the kind of world we d like to experience more of.

6 An equinox is an ideal time to:! Simplify our living space/environment, so that we are able to release many of the things we haven t been using. The general principle I follow is, if I haven t used it in the past year, it can now find a loving new home with someone who will truly benefit from receiving it.! Try something new that feels to be out of our comfort zone.! Switch up our routine every few days over the next few months, to keep ourselves open, fresh, and available to the opportunities presenting themselves to us.! Begin a new class or spiritual practice, to reconnect ourselves to our true nature of love.! Forgive any and all people, places, and experiences in our lives that still trigger us emotionally in any way.! Create a balance between our Divine Feminine aspect (our creative, nurturing, playful side) and Divine Masculine aspect (our passionate, action-oriented, motivated side).! Begin a new project or creative venture that feels more aligned with our heart s desires. If any of these suggestions feel expansive and joyous to you, know that it s a confirmation that it may be time for you to integrate them into your life, so that you can make room for the fresh new blessings that are aligned with your heart s desires. In addition to the equinox, we will also be gifted with a total solar eclipse on March 20. This will magnify the equinox energies, which can feel quite intense for those who are quite sensitive or emotional. To not be affected in a challenging way during this time, all which is required is that we be more mindful of our thoughts, words, and actions. This will allow us to be open and available to the powerful energies of the eclipse and equinox, and work with them in a much more productive way. It will also help us to dissolve any lingering residue of resentment or discord we may still be experiencing. During a total solar eclipse, meditating on the Sun strengthens our internal Sun (located in the solar plexus/stomach region), which represents our Divine power. This helps us to express ourselves more openly and freely, without holding back. It also helps us build confidence in ourselves, including our gifts, talents, and overall presence in this world. So it s safe to say that this month will be a time of great internal and external transformation that can be significantly pacified through mindfulness and spiritual practice. Behind the Scenes As we are all internally and externally shifting, there s even more magic going on behind the scenes. Have you had profound dreams lately? Are you remembering more and more of them? Are you feeling waves of energy move through you that sometimes feel like electric currents running through your body? Are you noticing more and more sparks (mini shooting stars) in your peripheral vision? Are you finding your appetite is fluctuating a bit more these days? What about feeling a bit more sensitive to the people and experiences around you?

7 Our Spirit is now fully focused on lifting the veils within our minds right now, so that we will be able to understand, digest, and integrate our True Self into the reality of every present moment. This is BIG! This is what IS anchoring a heaven on Earth type of collective reality. For millennia, the conscious mind has conditioned itself to operate and function mostly in linear time. Now, with the help of our Spirit, the Universe, and all the Beings of Love whom we each resonate with, the mind is being taught how to thrive outside of linear time, so we can be at our most powerful. What we are seeing in the world is the transition out of the fear that the mind created and got comfortable with, as a result of thinking it would lose its identity if it entered nonlinear time that it would no longer exist. However, our Spirit is showing our mind right at this very minute, that this belief could not be further from the truth of what s really happening. The mind is being shown how much more of its unique self it will get to experience when it is no longer confined by linear time, where it uses fear, lack, doubt, worry, confusion, guilt, shame, or judgment to cope with life s challenges. Our Spirit and the Universe are now opening the doors to ultimate freedom, where we are fully able to recognize our eternal, whole, and True Self once more. To speed this process along, all that s asked of us is to be willing to love and have compassion for our mind. The mind s only mission was to keep us safe the only way it knew how, and for that we are grateful. It s also important to make sure we are well hydrated, getting plenty of rest/sleep, continuing with the spiritual practices that help us live in the present moment, and putting nourishing, real foods into our body. This will support our Spirit with the blessings it is creating for us now. As always, I am so grateful to share this journey with you, and am holding the space that this month is a phenomenal one for you! P Until next time
