What is Spirituality?
1. Spirituality is connecting your self with your understanding of God and the universe. It is not a religion, it is you discovering the sacred part of you that is connected to the bigger picture. Knowing that all is the same and one within itself. 2. It's being open to sense, feel and learn through your higher self which is the connection to all spiritual knowledge and universal truths. It is intuitive based. It's what feels right for you. It comes from within not from without. 3. Spirituality does not confine you to one belief system - it is open to all. It leaves you to explore and to form your own truth. It is open and flows. 4. It is a personal relationship between you and God or the universal source. Everyone gets a different answer that relates best to him or her. However universal truths are the same. Truth is truth, there is no arguing with it. (Like an apple is an apple.) How do we begin this journey? Through learning to be still and sitting in silence, you can connect to the universal source through prayer and meditation. This connection will guide you to your deepest truth. The more you practice, the more clarity you will get. This is where you will find the true meaning of love, grace, compassion, humility, gratitude, and more. You will be at peace with yourself, which gives you tremendous freedom! The spiritual journey is - The Journey Of You! "Many organized religions represent God as an external entity. Spirituality portrays God as an integral aspect of our humanity." - Andrew Harvey
How to Find Your Truth
Finding your truth starts with how you feel about something. What has meaning and brings warm feelings, peace and joy to you? This is part of your essence, of who you are, what makes you who you are, and what your constitution is made of. This is where you feel most comfortable with your self. It has, “This is me” written all over it! For me, the ocean is so much a part of my essence. Whenever I am in it’s presence, I am home. When we feel at home, we are able to truly reflect on who we are. What does the ocean bring out in me? My truth, my honesty and integrity. My whole self emerges I am all things but mostly I am peace. I am a part of all that is peace. It is in this kind of space within one’s self, that we find our truth. To find true happiness this should never be compromised. If you have this you have everything. It is what you know in your heart of hearts to be true for you. So you connect in through something like this and you pay attention to what it is giving you in feeling and knowing. This is your higher self or intuition locking in with source. “Intuition is God’s imprint on the Soul”– Jodi Hershey Here is a Work Sheet: Always Qualify-Qualify- Qualify! Be Clear! 1.

Using Stones and 8 Crystal Must Haves
How to Use Stones: When working with crystals you are working with their energy and frequency. All stones come from different backgrounds, much like us. They have a story to tell. See which one you are drawn to. There are no mistakes. Start by holding them in your hand and, with eyes closed, go into a quiet state. Focus on just the stone and how it feels in your hand. Become a partner with its energy. You may feel a tingling sensation in your hands. Take a few deep breaths and ask the crystal to share its information with you. You can feel their frequency. Are they soft spoken, busy as bees, just watch in your minds eye what they do. Be the observer. You don't need to participate, you just need to be open. Use your intuitive mind to watch and feel. When you have had enough or are done with the information always thank them for sharing with you. Once you tune in with your stone, you can go back to them to talk or ask questions. They become your friend and are there to assist. If you don't like the energy of the stone put it back and find the right one for you. Eight Stones to Start With: 1. Rose Quartz: Self love.
