Year of the Dragon

Welcome to this fortnight’s blog, where we’ll be diving into the realm of the Chinese zodiac! Last weekend, we bid farewell to the Water Rabbit, and ushered in the dynamic energy of the majestic Wood Dragon. Today we’ll be exploring the significance, traits, and blessings of the Chinese Year of the Dragon in all its fiery glory. So let’s get started…

Unveiling the Dragons Mystique

In Chinese culture, the Dragon is seen as a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune. Unlike its Western counterpart, the Chinese Dragon is not a fearsome creature but a benevolent force associated with prosperity and auspiciousness. As we enter the Year of the Dragon, we are invited to embrace its dynamic energy and harness its transformative power to pursue our dreams and aspirations.

The Dragon’s Personality

Those born in the years 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, and of course new arrivals in 2024 are all Dragons. But what does this tell us about their personalities? Well, just like the mythical creature itself, individuals born in the Year of the Dragon are known for their boldness, charisma, and larger-than-life personalities. They possess an innate magnetism that draws others to them and a fiery spirit that fuels their ambition and determination. With their sharp intellect and fearless attitude, Dragons fearlessly conquer challenges and blaze their own trails, inspiring awe and admiration wherever they go.

Dragons are also known for their passion, enthusiasm, and zest for life. They approach every endeavor with boundless energy and unwavering confidence, refusing to be confined by limitations or setbacks. With their natural leadership abilities and pioneering spirit, Dragons often inspire others to follow their lead.

Change and Transformation

So what does the Year of the Dragon mean for the rest of us? The Dragon’s fiery nature is synonymous with change and transformation, making the Year of the Dragon an ideal time for personal growth and reinvention. Just as the mythical creature sheds its old skin to embrace a new one, we too are encouraged to release the past and embrace the infinite possibilities that lie ahead. Whether it’s embarking on a new career path, pursuing a passion project, or cultivating meaningful relationships, the Year of the Dragon invites us to step into our power and embrace change with courage and conviction. If you’ve been thinking about making a change, this is a great year to go for it!

Creativity flows effortlessly in the presence of the Dragon’s boundless energy, making the Year of the Dragon a perfect time for artistic endeavors and innovation. Inspired by the Dragon’s fearless spirit, we are encouraged to think outside the box, explore new ideas, and express ourselves authentically. Whether it’s through music, art, literature, or technology, the Year of the Dragon empowers us to unleash our creative potential.

Despite their fierce reputation, Dragons are incredibly noble creatures with a strong sense of justice and integrity. In the Year of the Dragon, we are reminded of the importance of unity, compassion, and empathy in building a harmonious society. Just as the Dragon’s strength lies in its ability to unite diverse elements, we too are called to bridge divides, celebrate diversity, and cultivate a sense of belonging within our communities.

So, as we embark on this exhilarating journey through the Chinese Year of the Dragon, may we embrace its fiery spirit with open hearts and minds. Whether we’re chasing our dreams, embracing change, or nurturing our creativity, let us draw inspiration from the Dragon’s boundless energy and fearlessly pursue our passions with courage and conviction. Together, let us soar to new heights and create a world filled with prosperity, harmony, and boundless possibilities. Let us know in the comments how you intend to use the Dragon energy this year.

Full Moon

Ah, the full moon—the celestial jewel that graces our night skies with its radiant glow. Its allure goes beyond its luminous beauty; it touches something deep within us, awakening a primal connection to the cosmos. For centuries, people have honored this enchanting celestial event with rituals that range from the simple to the elaborate, all in a quest to harness its mystical energy. With the next full moon arriving on 31st August, today we’ll dive into the captivating world of full moon rituals, exploring their origins, significance, and explain how you can create your own magical moments under this full moon’s radiant light.

The Origins of Full Moon Rituals:

Full moon rituals have a rich and diverse history, rooted in ancient traditions from cultures around the world. They often stem from the belief that the full moon is a powerful symbol of transformation and completion. In many cultures, it marks a time of heightened energy and spiritual significance.

Honoring the Cycle of Life:

One common theme in full moon rituals is the idea of cycles. The moon, with its phases waxing and waning, mirrors the cyclical nature of life. Full moon rituals are often a way to acknowledge these natural rhythms and connect with the ebb and flow of existence. They can serve as a reminder of the impermanence of all things and the ever-present opportunity for renewal and growth.

Setting Intentions:

One popular practice during full moon rituals is setting intentions. This involves taking some time to reflect on your goals, desires, and aspirations. Under the full moon’s radiant light, you can write down these intentions, infusing them with the moon’s energy. This ritual is a way to focus your energy and intention on what you want to manifest in your life.

Cleansing and Releasing:

Just as the full moon shines its light, illuminating the darkness, it’s also seen as a time to release what no longer serves you. This could be negative emotions, old habits, or anything that’s holding you back. Some people perform rituals like burning a piece of paper with what they want to let go of written on it, symbolising the act of releasing.

Connecting with Nature:

Many full moon rituals emphasise a connection with the natural world. Whether it’s taking a moonlit walk in the forest, meditating under the stars, or simply gazing up at the moon, these rituals invite you to be present in the moment and appreciate the beauty and wonder of the universe.

How to Create Your Own Full Moon Ritual:

The beauty of full moon rituals is that they can be highly personalised. You can create a ritual that resonates with you and reflects your spiritual beliefs and intentions. Here are some steps to get you started:

  1. Choose a Location: Decide where you want to perform your ritual. It could be in your garden, by a body of water, or even in a quiet room at home with a clear view of the moon.
  2. Set the Mood: Create a serene atmosphere with candles, incense, or calming music. You want to be in a relaxed state of mind.
  3. Reflect and Set Intentions: Take some time to reflect on what you want to achieve or release. Write down your intentions or thoughts in a journal.
  4. Perform Your Ritual: This could involve meditation, visualisation, chanting, or any other activity that resonates with you. You might want to incorporate crystals, herbs, or other symbolic elements.
  5. Express Gratitude: Finish your ritual by expressing gratitude for the moon’s energy and any insights or clarity you’ve gained.

Full moon rituals are a beautiful way to connect with the cosmos, honour the cycles of life, and set intentions for the future. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or a newcomer to the world of lunar rituals, the magic of the full moon is available to all who are willing to embrace it. So, the next time you find yourself bathed in the gentle glow of the full moon, consider taking a moment to create your own magical ritual and let the moonlight guide your intentions and dreams.

Aromatherapy

Welcome to this fortnights blog. Today we are taking a look at aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has ancient origins and can be traced back to several ancient civilizations. The practice of using aromatic plants and their extracts for healing purposes can be found in the traditions of ancient Egypt, China, India, and Greece. The Egyptians were known for their use of aromatic substances in religious rituals and embalming practices. In India, the use of plant essences and aromatic oils is deeply rooted in Ayurveda. The Greek physician Hippocrates also utilised aromatic plants for their therapeutic properties. The term “aromatherapy” was coined in the 20th century by René-Maurice Gattefossé, a French chemist, who extensively studied the medicinal effects of essential oils. Since then,aromatherapy has gained popularity as a complementary therapy worldwide.

Benefits of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that utilises the aromatic properties of essential oils to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Some of the benefits of aromatherapy include:

  • Stress relief: Certain essential oils, such as lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang, have calming properties that can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation.
  • Mood enhancement: Aromatherapy can uplift mood and improve emotional well-being. Citrus oils like lemon and bergamot are known for their energizing and mood-boosting effects. A favourite of ours at Quest is May Chang.
  • Improved sleep: Essential oils like lavender and chamomile can help promote better sleep by inducing a sense of relaxation and easing insomnia symptoms.
  • Pain relief: Some essential oils possess analgesic properties and can help alleviate pain and discomfort. Peppermint and eucalyptus oils are often used for relieving headaches and muscle aches.
  • Enhanced cognitive function: Certain scents, such as rosemary and lemon, are believed to enhance concentration, memory, and mental clarity.
  • Respiratory support: Essential oils like eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint can provide relief from respiratory issues, congestion, and promote easier breathing.
  • Skin care: Many essential oils have beneficial effects on the skin. Tea tree oil, lavender, and frankincense are often used for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing properties.

It’s important to note that while aromatherapy can offer various benefits, individual experiences may vary, and it’s essential to use essential oils safely and consult a qualified professional for guidance if required.

How to Enjoy Aromatherapy

There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy in your own home. One of the simplest ways is to dilute a few drops of your chosen oil into a diffuser, which creates a beautiful scented mist and can a powerful way to lift your mood. You could also try adding a few drops of your chosen oil to a warm bath to create a relaxing and aromatic experience – perfect for releasing daily stresses. If you enjoy massage, why not try adding a few drops with a carrier oil. Just remember to perform a patch test first.

If you aren’t sure about using essential oils, there other things you can try. For example, incense, scented candles and reed diffusers all make excellent alternatives. Don’t be afraid to explore all options until you find the one that is right for you.

We’ve Got You Covered

At Quest, we have so many wonderful aromatherapy options for you. In store we have a wide selection of essential oils (our own brand and Star Child), diffusers (electronic and tealight burners), scented candles, incense and incense burners. So, if you’ve been thinking about exploring aromatherapy, look no further. Below is just a small selection of items we have available.

Benefits of Sound

Healing

Sound Healing maybe very ‘on trend’ at the moment in the wellness and well-being circuit, but it’s by no means new. Using sound as a medium for healing is something that has been around for thousands of centuries. It helps to move us from a place of imbalance to balance, by realigning the body’s vibration. Scientific evidence has shown that sound therapy goes far beyond playing our favourite ‘feel good’ tracks. The vibrations created by the use of sound can have significant benefits on our physical health. Just take a look at the list below to see what conditions can be improved by their use.

  • Sleep Disorders
  • Aniexty
  • Depression
  • Stress Management
  • PTSD
  • Depression
  • Pain Management
  • Mood Swings
  • Aches and Pains
  • Lowers Blood Pressure

Energy Clearing

As well as the multiple health benefits, did you know you can use sound for energy clearing too? Yes, that’s right! Whether you choose to use a singing bowl, tingshas, bells or simple clapping, sound can help you to clear away stagnant or negative energies from your home or workspace. So how do you do it? Take a look at our top tips below:

  • Open windows to invite in fresh chi (life force energy)
  • Start at your front door and move in a clockwise direction around the home/space
  • Use a sharp sound like Tibetan bells, Tingshas or clapping to break up the unwanted energy
  • Follow with a softer sound from singing bowls or calming music
  • As you play imagine a bright healing, sparkling light filling the space
  • Remember to set a new intention for the space too – this is a very important step!

Once complete, your space should feel elevated and uplifting!

Other Uses

So what else can you use sound for? Well, it’s a great way to start or end a therapy or treatment session, as it aids deep relaxation and cleanses the aura. It’s also a marvelous tool to add to your daily mediation practice, as it helps to clear and balance the mind, body and soul.

We’ve Got You Covered

As always, here at Spiritual Quest, we’ve got you covered with our amazing range of sound products. We have everything from Tibetan singing bowls, continuous sound tingshas, bells, crystal singing bowls and even a wide range of calming music CD’s. Many of these products have just arrived following Carolina’s aka The Soul Coach’s recent travels to India. Here is just a small selection of what we have to offer.

The Wealth Corner

According to Tibetan Feng Shui, each area of your home corresponds to a certain aspect of life such as career, relationships and health. The Bagua is a tool you can use to identify the different areas of your home. Your home is a representation of your life, so if a certain area is untidy, full of clutter or needs decorating, then you may find that the aspect of life the section represents is out of balance too.

The Wealth Corner is found in the upper left hand side corner, with your back against the door. You can use the bagua on a particular room or the house as a whole. This area is all about wealth, prosperity and abundance – and includes not just material wealth, but prosperity of all kinds. It also has strong links with self worth, as our ability to receive wealth and abundance is influenced by how we value ourselves.

The first step when working with Feng Shui is clutter clearing. If the section is untidy, with broken objects or undecorated walls, then this can influence the wealth in your life. Think about what it could represent metaphorically e.g. a dusty area could suggest that you don’t manage your finances regularly enough. Work on the section, getting rid of anything that no longer works or repainting the walls. Once you’ve done this, you can start thinking about incorporating items that will help enhance your wealth and abundance. Try adding the following:

The Chinese Money Frog has been used for centuries to bring in financial abundance. In Chinese folklore, the legendary three-legged toad is thought to have the ability to produce gold and silver coins from its mouth. This toad lived on the moon with Liu Hai, the God of Wealth.

A Wealth Charm includes Chinese symbols that represent prosperity and good luck. Chinese coins called I Ching signify success and wealth – the circular shape represents heaven whilst the inner square is earth. The idea is that by harnessing these two, you will be successful. The red eternal knot signifies longevity and vitality.

There are several crystals that represent abundance and prosperity. Try placing a cluster or a few tumblestones in this section to promote these energies!

Crystals and Their Energy in Your Home.

Did you know crystals can be used to improve and enhance the energy in your home by placing different crystals in different areas of your home? Read below to find out!

Cleansing the energy and welcoming in positive energy:

It is best to place crystals in your hallway to cleanse the energy in your home. Household members and guests pass through your hallway whether downstairs or upstairs, hallways connect to every room as does the energy passing through. This will have an affect on yourself and anyone else in your home. Creating a positive vibe in your hallways can cleanse any negative energy and make it a more positive vibe which will make you and others feel great! You can place crystals on your sideboard, table or you can get some floating shelves and place them on there as well!

Best crystals for the hallway:

  • Shungite: This is used for protection of electromagnetic fields and negative energies making it a great stone to place in your hallway to keep you protected by this.
  • Clear Quartz: This is the master healing crystal which helps with all forms of healing. It brings harmony and love, as well as balancing and enhancing positive energy that goes through your hallways into other rooms.

Brining an abundance of joy and love into your living room:

We spend some relaxation time in our living rooms with family and guests, so why not bring an abundance of joy and love into the room making it a happy positive vibe whilst you chat or relax! Placing some crystals on the window sill can give the living room a pretty aesthetic whilst also enhancing the energy in the room. Also by placing them on the window sill is great as when it is a full moon as they can be cleansed by the full moon energies.

Best crystals for the living room:

Citrine: This is used for bringing an abundance of positivity, optimism and inspiration, a very cheerful crystal holding the power of the sun. This makes it great to have in the living room where you socialize with others or relaxing.

Rose Quartz: This is the crystal of love. It’s calming energy attracts love, harmony and peace making it a lovely crystal to add into your living room where you can spend time on your own or with loved ones.

Brining peace and calming energy into your bedroom for a good nights sleep:

A good night’s sleep is vital for every human being to survive. Given that an average a person sleeps for 8 hours in a day, we spend about one third of our lives sleeping! Why not make your bedroom a tranquil place, even if your not sleeping its nice to have a safe space in your home where you can meditate or read a book and feel at peace. You can place crystals on your shelves or bedside table to bring the energy into the space.

Best crystals for the bedroom:

Selenite: This is a high vibrational crystal which is great for cleansing your space, it brings a calm and peaceful energy, which makes it a must have crystal in the bedroom. It also elevates your spirit and provides clarity which can help you access your intuition making this crystal also great for meditation.

Amethyst: This crystal is well known for its peaceful and calming energy, it can help reduce stress and anxiety and the symptoms that accompany it, namely headaches and fatigues. It also aids in cell regeneration (supporting your bones and joints) and is reputed to improve your skin. Whilst we sleep our cells repair themselves so having Amethyst to help aid in the repairing stage is great!

We sell the 6 must have crystals for your home on our website and in store as well as other crystal sets that can be added to your home as well such as crystal sets for sleep, anxiety and happiness. We also sell the Feng Shui book which is good for learning how to place furniture in a certain way can help the energy pass through more easily. Go and have a listen to The Soul Coaches podcast on Spotify where Carolina talks all about the energy in the home and Feng Shui, in episodes 1 to 5.

The Relationship Corner

According to Feng Shui, each area of your home represents an area of your life. If the energy in this area of your home is balanced, then that area of your life will be balanced. However, if the area is cluttered or in disarray, then this can have detrimental affect on your life. You can manipulate this energy to enhance aspects of your life.

The relationship corner is found in the right hand corner of your bedroom, with your back against the bedroom door. First of all, you need to think about what you have in this corner and whether it represents love. For example, don’t keep your bin in this corner! Also throw away anything that is no longer serving you, as clutter holds onto negative energy.

Once you have done this, you can start incorporating objects that will enhance your love life and symbolise the relationships you desire.

You could put two chunks of Rose Quartz to represent yourself and your partner, or one if you are single. Rose Quartz is the crystal for love, and can help stimulate loving energies in your life. You could even place it in a heart dish for extra energy!

You could put one of our relationship figurines in this corner as well. This can represent your current relationship or the relationship you desire.

Whatever you do, make sure you place it with intention!

Energy Clearing for the New Year!

The New Year is the perfect time to clear out any negative, stale energy that has built up in the home – especially as we’ve all been spending more time indoors these last few years – and get your home ready for a healthy and happy new year!

If you’ve never heard or done a space clearing before, we’re here to help. To begin, you need to understand that everything is built up with the same energy – meaning that you are the same energy as your home. Because of this, our energy can impact our homes and vice versa. For example, think of a time where you had an argument in your home. Do you remember feeling the tension in the air? Did you feel uncomfortable? This is because our negative energy has changed the energy within our home.

Another important aspect is that negative energy can build up and become stale in your home. This is when your home’s energy can impact you. Do you ever come home from a hard day at work and instead of finding comfort, you feel heavy and stressed? This is the build-up of energy within your home weighing you down.

This is where energy clearing comes in. By removing all this stale negative energy, you’re helping other positive energy flow freely through your space. You can make your home feel comfortable, safe, relaxing and full of love. And the best thing is, it’s so easy to do and anyone can do it!

The first thing you need to do is assess and become aware of your home – do you have any clutter, do you have anything that is broken or not working? Do you have clothes or other things that you no longer use? What areas of your home need your attention? Are there any areas that need repairing? Clutter is great for collecting stale, negative energy so it’s better to have less. Clear out your clutter to make room for new, positive energies.

The next step is to clear any stale, negative energy around your home and fill it with positive energy. To prepare for this you will need a sage stick, some Silver Nitiraj incense or Basilica granule incense. Our Energy Clearing Box has everything you need!

Before you start the clearing, spend some time thinking about how you would like to feel in your home – how would you like your family to be? Maybe you want it to feel calm, peaceful, happy or loving? Next, think of a symbol that represents what you want to feel – for example if you want to feel love your symbol could be red hearts, or if you want calm it could be an amethyst. You don’t need to buy these things but it’s important to hold these images in your mind.

Once you’ve done this, light your weapon of choice, go round every room and visualise the energy being cleared. Make sure you waft the smoke into all the corners and crevices with your intention to energy clear firmly set in your mind! Do this until you feel like it’s done. At this point, you can either stump out up the sage/ incense or let it burn down.

Now that you’ve energy cleared, there will be a void left in your home. If you don’t fill it, then the negative energy you’ve just removed is going to creep it’s way back in! This is where those symbols we thought of earlier come in. Find a quiet space in your home and think of those symbols again, but this time imagine them filling the spaces of your home. Think of those red hearts expanding in your living room, and the amethyst sparkling in your bedroom. This is you filling your home’s energy with love and peace. Again, do this until you feel it’s done.

And that’s it! Your home’s energy is now working with you rather than against you. You’ve set yourself up for an exciting 2022 full of opportunity, love and happiness. At this stage, you can also work on the Feng Shui of your home – but that’s for another day!

For now, sit back, relax and enjoy being at home.
