We've chosen it for this particular cycle because it's a great crystal for clearing and holding space for your intentions. Alongside your black tourmaline from Feb and your lumerian quartz from January - crystal clear quartz amplifies. As you clean, it holds your intentions clear and free of any dirt or grime you've got.It's like a safe vault for your inspiration.
The flamingo! It's interesting, I've never paid much mind to the Flamingo. I love them and think they're beautiful - but it was only over the last couple of weeks that they started popping up, so I took some initiative to look up what they might be acting as a pillar of (something I encourage you to start doing in your own life! Look up the things you're seeing over and over).Turns our, Flamingos are our Soul cleaning guides! Their energy and presence can guide us on how to filter out and discard that which isn't working, and discern with care the things that are present to help our hearts. They are a signal of cleansing to get to the baseline of joy living beneath everything. They can show us how to find heart and healing in all our endeavors.They are also very social animals and good reminder that after a winter of going within – the it's time to reengage and incorporate more social outings and have some fun. Flamingos are also infamously known for their flirtatious energy – so spring into action with some fun and flirty energy this month!
As you bloom and follow your heart this spring, it's important that it has the base of support it needs to feel safe to follow all of the inspired notions it receives in the cleaning and clearing process that leaves us so open!This month, you're invited to really nurture your lower three chakras - the root, the sacral, and the solar plexus! Think about it - if the ground isn't present for roots to dig into - the flower can't bloom. Having a balanced lower triangle will eliminate scatter brain, it will inspire action behind ideas, and give you the foundation needed for true growth to take place.So! Here's some practices to use daily to really open up and balance your lower triangle:
+ Walk barefoot at least once a day on grass or somewhere outside+ Move your body more than you might have done in the past! This includes things like dancing, hiking, more vinyasa based yoga practices, kickboxing, whatever really gets you present and feeling alive in your physical body!+ Take time to make your home space feel extra home-y.
