The other day someone asked me to send them some of my light. At first I thought, “how nice, what a lovely compliment”.  However I know that if I keep sending my own light to everyone who asks, not only will I start to feel drained, but those people will never learn to shine themselves. We all have a light within us.  For some of us it may be deeper down than for others, but it IS there.  Whenever you feel down or hard done by, stop and centre

I always thought I was the type of person who could put everything aside for someone who asks for my help or time.  Recently I have discovered that being an empath and extremely sensitive to the needs of others, I can no longer function properly when I have put aside time for someone who hasn't been completely honest with me.  It takes me a very long time to recover and to feel myself again, which also means I am not able to function properly for others who need me.  I

Last week I attempted something new, as a custom order for someone who wanted me to design a pendant for them, without telling them what it was.  I am so pleased with the way this Yin Yang pendant turned out.  I made it in copper wire with Rose Quartz & Black Tourmaline gemstones. The Yin Yang symbol has its roots in Taoism.  It means two halves that come together to complete wholeness.  The principle of Yin Yang is that all things exist as inseparable and

It's been a while since I shared an oracle card on here, but I was drawn to pull one for myself and thought that it would be meaningful to some of you as well. This is the "Healing" card from the Numerology Guidance Cards by Michelle Buchanan (available at Amazon).   The meaning of this card for me today, isn't simply to do more healing for others, or to learn more healing modalities .... today it has a strong leaning towards the need to focus on my own

I was asked to create a rabbit pendant for a customer.  She wanted to include three particular gemstones - Black Tourmaline, Purple Fluorite, and Clear Quartz. It took me a while to draw out a rabbit shape that I was happy could be worn as a pendant, but once I worked it out, I measured out some sterling silver wire and shaped it to the rabbit design I had drawn on a piece of paper.  I didn't want to simply hang the gemstones from the bottom of the pendant, so I used them as

I had a customer contact me the other day saying that every time she buys a clear quartz, the crystal either always gets lost, shatters and chips away, and never lasts.  It had apparently happened to all her quartz that she had used in past years and she was anxious about using a new one, worried that it would suffer the same fate.   If a crystal gets lost, or broken / damaged every time you use it, it could mean that the energy of that crystal is not compatible with your

In addition to wearing gemstones, gemstone elixirs and essences are other ways that you can benefit from the powerful vibrations of gemstones.  They are easy to make and can be used for all manner of circumstances.  Apply them to your skin or spray them into a room, or even put them into your bath water.   There are two primary methods to make gem elixirs:  One is the Direct Method in which the gemstone is immersed in the water; and the other is the Indirect Method, in

  All healing crystals, and healing gemstone jewellery, purchased from Charms Of Light® are cleansed and Reiki enhanced before they are sent to you.  However, over time, they will pick up negative energies or vibrations and will need to be cleansed again and re-energised.  You may also wish to programme your gemstones with specific healing intentions, once they have been cleansed.  Cleansing your gemstones is also important before making a gem elixir. 

  When doing readings for people, it can be very interesting when the cards that show up have nothing at all to do with the question that was asked.  This can happen more often than you think and the reason is that the client will have an underlying question that is actually more important, than the question they actually ask.  Sometimes they know this but are too embarrassed to ask the real question, but there are times that they don't.  This is why I prefer
