Spiritual Survival Guide for the Holidays (Your Aura will thank you!)

(A.K.A. Shit you can use so you don’t throw yourself in front of speeding traffic during the holidays)

Whether you are traveling near, far or staying home to be the hostess with the most-est during the holidays, feeling your best and remaining calm is all the rage. I’ve created a guide with everything you need to be “in the know and on the go” to keep your energy cleansed throughout the Holidays! These tips can keep you from engaging in quarrels and spats, or keep you from getting passively slimed (yuck!)  I like to think of this as my Emergency Spiritual Tool Kit when time is limited and/or tempers are short. There are many more advanced techniques than the ones I am sharing with you, but all of these are easy and accessible to everyone at almost any time. You should plan ahead what to pack, whether in your suitcase or your Spiritual Tool Kit. None one of these will take up much room. Hey, the point is to rid ourselves of the Velcro gremlin spiritual baggage, not add to it!  They all require a playful, childlike wonder and an open imagination. You know–like you had all the time when you were a kid. How exciting!

  1. The number one is the good old standby is probably known by most. You can burn sage or Palo Santo. This is also known as smudging. When you do this, you want to make sure you allow the smoke to rise in front of you, above you and especially behind you. I like to get into all the corners of a room as well. (You might remain the black sheep in your family if they mistake the woodsy smell for weed – tee hee!) If you find yourself trapped at Aunt Betty’s, in a pinch you can rummage through her spice rack and burn a bay leaf. The smoke does tend to change the energy. Why not–it’s worth a shot!

  2. Bathing beyond the essential spots. You can cleanse your body and your aura by taking an Epsom salt bath or a sea salt water bath. About two cups in your tub will do the trick. If you want to smell pretty too, throw in a few drops of your favorite essential oil. You can also draw yourself an herbal bath. Choose any dried herbs you like and wrap them in some cheesecloth and tie it into a sachet. Use it like a tea bag. It’s highly effective! When you get out of the bath, visualize all the negative energy being rinsed off your body and going down the drain to Mother Earth to be transmuted. Also, bathing in a natural source of water– the ocean being the most potent, a waterfall (and if you have one of those, boy am I jealous of you right now!) a river or a spring. The Earth energy is immediately transmuting all the negative energy you are releasing.

  3. The Violet Flame. In this case, you imagine your body and aura being bathed in violet flames. Think of the 10 Commandments and the bush on the mountain that burned but never burned down (except its violet and there is no Moses). You can do this super-fast. 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute– the longer, the more saturated of course. This tool comes in handy when you are traveling and don’t have “Sage” to smudge (Like when you are visiting your sibling and get to sleep in your 9-year-old nephew’s airplane bed). Also, if you get into an altercation with a family member and just can’t escape without looking like the “difficult” one, you can bathe yourself in that flame while you pretend you eat turkey and push it around on your plate.

  4. My absolute go-to fave. Find a patch of dirt if you can, but it is not essential. Stand with both feet firmly on the ground. Imagine white-gold light coming from the cosmos, flooding into the top of your head, through your entire body, down your legs and into the balls of your feet, and plunging deep into Mother Earth. Then imagine the bright moss green light of Earth energy coming back up through your feet, up your legs, all the way up and through your whole body, then out through your head.

  5. Literally Pray, Intend and/or Demand of your higher self, GOD, master of the universe (whatever feels right for you), just state whatever your intention is. Example: “Please fill all the holes and energy leaks in my aura now. Thank You.” Yes, you might feel like you belong in a Marvel comic whilet doing this, so enjoy it and have fun. Heck– give yourself a costume! Even better! I’m not going to lie– I’ve got a crown, wings and a magic gold light beam ET finger (and those are just the parts I’m telling you about!).

  6. Crystals. I will admit, I have nearly cracked a bathroom tile de-bra-ing in the evening. I’ve always got a crystal crammed in there, sometimes with a flattened $20 bill. I’m always disappointed when one falls on the floor. I always hope it wasn’t damaged, but I’m always excited to find a forgotten $20!! Life is all about balance. Crystals are another was of raising your vibration and keeping your aura cleaner. Black crystals especially are great for protecting your energy. I wear a black tourmaline in my bra. Selenite is great for keeping things clear. You can buy them at metaphysical stores for around $3. I keep these in my car, my purse, all around actually. I even have a selenite tower in my living room. Those babies are always working and they never need charging or clearing. They are a self-clearing stone.

  7. Ta Da! Organite! I can’t say enough nice things about Organite. I love them! In fact, my pendulum is an Organite. Organite is a substance made of resin, metals and quartz that balances and harmonizes bio-energy, otherwise known as Orgone, Chi or Prana.Dr. Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, researched orgone energy in the earlier half of the 20th century, and today’s Organite devices are built on his findings.  While conducting his research, Dr. Reich found that organic materials attract and hold orgone energy, while non-organic metals simultaneously attract and repel the energy.Organite is based on these two principles. It is a 50-50 mix of resin (organic, due to the fact that it is based on petrochemicals), and metal shavings (inorganic).  A quartz crystal is also added to the orgonite mix it gives off a charge when it is put under pressure (resin shrinks when it is cured, so constant pressure is put on the quartz crystal).Due to the fact that the elements contained in orgonite are constantly attracting and repelling energy, a “scrubbing” action takes place, and along with the charge that the crystal gives off, this cleans stagnant and negative energy, and brings it back to a healthy, vibrant state. And if you want to revisit your inner super hero you can do your visualization and imagination and make yourself an Organite shield or two to match your superhero cape or halo!

  8. Love up on fluffy if they let you. Playing with a friendly furry companion by throwing the ball or scattering the cat nip is a great tension breaker and their energy can really boost your vibration. Plus animals are very grounding because they live in the present moment and remind us how to do just that..
