Change is a natural part of our existence. Some people like it, some despise it. Personally, I crave it. There is a phrase in our family, “ Oooh, she has the Gypsy Gene.” This meant they had the need for change, out of the ordinary, but most of all to keep moving. To have the old world in your blood and skill set that comes with it. To know as much as possible and be prepared for anything to come. My mother always said that a few in my family have it. I am definitely one of them.
I believe there are indications of how open to change an individual is according to their Astrological Sign. Certain signs love change. Aquarius, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini are more adaptable, flexible and embrace it all. They tend to move through all of the shifts in life with fluidity and ease, almost to a fault. Other Astrological Signs however tend to like consistency and routine. Taurus, Virgo and Aries truly despise change and they can become overwhelmed. Capricorns are not fond of change, but they accept it and try to introduce it slowly. Libras like to stay neutral. If they change, they don’t make it public. Leo, Scorpio and Cancer tend to be the changing factors. Learning the aspects ( mutable, Fixed or Cardinal) of your Astrological chart will help you see whether you are quick to it give up, willing to shift or have immense resistance to things, people and habits.
So how can we adapt to change? Here are few helpful tips if you feel more resistant to change:
1. Keep your body healthy! The stress of change can put a toll on your body. Focus on eating well. Create an exercising routine. Make sure to add morning walks and yoga. This will help you to reduce your stress and keep you focused.
2. Keep your energetic body and spirit clean! It is imperative to learn how to let go and release regularly. Make it a habit like eating, breathing, walking and talking. Clear and fully release on a daily basis can seriously help with adapting to change.
3. Write in your journal on a regular basis. Expressing your emotions and thoughts can really help. It also helps in letting go.
4. Meditate with certain crystals that keeps you feeling prime and prepared. Here are some of my favorite crystals: Quartz Crystal, Elestials, Blue Kyanite, Green Kyanite, Smokey Quartz, Apophyllite and Danburite.
After working with these crystals it is advised to sit up and jot down what was felt and what came to mind. These notes will be valuable for your future needs and direction.
Try this exercise with some of your favorite crystals for processing change. Lie flat in a quiet space without any distractions. Turn on your favorite mellow heaven music and your favorite candle or incense. Place a Quartz Crystal on your forehead, above your skull and one in each hand—Lemurian Quartz work best.
Place Apophyllite or Elestial Quartz above your crown. Next Kyanite on your throat, shoulders and neck to clear past life resistant residues. Place few Kyanite pieces up and down the center from your neck to pubic bone parallel to spine. Energies will radiate into and clear the chakras clearing away unwanted particles and untying cords quickly and efficiently. Your Danburite and Lemurians Quartz goes on the belly for strength. Your biggest Smokey Quartz goes on the lowest part of your stomach below the belly button—this is to keep you grounded. Now run your energies through each chakra feeling each stone’s color and vibration individually with your breath. Feel your body’s Aura increase in size. Breathe until each one feels the same size. Allow yourself to fall deeper into the state of relaxation. When you arise you should feel lighter and more energized.
Your life is a journey, a story, ever flowing and always changing. Learning new techniques and increasing your knowledge will give you an upper hand when it come to unexpected changes & shifts. So continue learning. The minute you raise your intellect, new layers of strength will be built. You will see things from a different perspective. With intelligence comes new pride in self, you’ll feel yourself standing taller. So when change happens, you’re not only prepared, but delighted. ;
