Day 3 of "5 Days of Intentional Inspiration" - My Gift to You – Gifts from the Earth; Finding Your Gem

 Day 3 of "5 Days of Intentional Inspiration" - My Gift to You – Gifts from the Earth; Finding Your GemYesterday’s experience with both the Your Inner Temple – A Guided Chakra Color Meditation & its Interpretation Guide hopefully allowed you to gain awareness around any chakras (also known as energy centers creating space within and around your physical body) that may be blocked and causing possible imbalances within your life and overall well-being.Though there are a multitude of ways to realign the chakras and bring the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components of your life back to a natural state of balance, crystals and gems are one simple way of doing so. They have been used for years as focal points for jewelry and have also been included in the technology that runs our medical equipment. [To learn more about the science behind crystals and gems, please read my May 22, 2013 blog post entitled The Heart (& Brain) of Science and Energy Healing.]There is an abundance of information on the internet about crystals, their properties, and how they can be utilized for bringing balance into one’s life.  To more easily access that information, I have included a chart highlighting some of the crystals that are effective in rebalancing the various chakras.  Using the results from the Interpretation Guide for Your Inner Temple – A Guided Chakra Color Meditation, go to www.DonnaTemm.com and enter pin number 31825.  This will allow you to view the chakra chart (also from the MyDTERM online video course) and find the crystals that would be most beneficial for any chakra imbalances you may have discovered during the meditation.  You'll also find an instruction guide for how to care for your crystals.To more easily utilize the chart, it's helpful to know that each room of the meditation is aligned with a particular chakra.  The first room (red) is aligned with the base/root chakra.  The rest of the rooms go in order with the body's chakras.  You can find the corresponding chakra on the chart according to color as well.Remember to continue to use the RISE 'N SHINE technique when participating in these "5 Days of Intentional Inspiration".Children are also drawn to crystals.  Allow them to "shop" for gems with you on the internet.  See which ones they are drawn too and then look up the properties.  For children who have a difficult time settling down (especially during these unsettling times) consider hematite.Please feel free to leave comments and provide feedback. My hope is this will allow us to support one another in shifting any fear-based perspectives and conversations to those based on awareness from a deeper, more grounded space. As always, please feel free to share. Be well & stay healthy!
