March 2014 Energy Forecast – Lee Harris
Another month roles around and with that, some insights from the lovely Lee Harris. It was a nice reiteration to hear he felt a lot of what I was actually in the midst of writing for this month’s newsletter in terms of themes around the need for centering yourself and keeping balanced.
Some other focal points you’ll find in his video below include how we’ve been moving through a lot of transformational energy that has included both physical and symbolic transitions, as well as increased intensities and challenges. A lot of your experience will stem from how well you are able to navigate through anxiety and fear, as you tie up things and are moving into the new.
Everything increasingly is speeding up and that calls for a shift in our responses to also rapidly integrate and readjust. This is where calming, centering, and rebalancing yourself becomes crucial. It will provide you more energy and ability to be able to flow with the changes you’re going through.
One thing to be extra mindful of is how much you are absorbing others’ energy. Try not to merge with their fear or the fear in the global environment, as this takes you off center. You simply can’t afford to go into the fear in order to be of greatest service.
Lee speaks about how any kind of practice that can help you to calm your nervous system, especially for sensitives, will do you great good at this time. This is likely why I am seeing Reiki really coming even more to the forefront these days and interestingly, Lee demonstrates in his video Reiki hand positions that you can use on a daily basis to rebalance and center yourself.
Although he doesn’t refer to them as such, they in fact are taught in Reiki, and are intentful ways to focus energy with conscious presence, regardless if you are Reiki attuned or not.
Lee also reminds us that checking in to see how stimulated you are daily so you can make adjustments, is important as well. Over-stimulation is happening increasingly and we don’t realize how all of this is impacting an overload behind the scenes, in conjunction with everything else you’re picking up on in the world.
You can’t make clear decisions when you’re off your center and right now many are spun out and not centered, which is fueling the anxiety, confusion, frustration, and fear.
Fear of the future seems to be a theme going around. I love what he shares about experiencing and accessing the future, which people are always wanting to do. It’s about being in the present, not worrying over the future. I have shared a lot how I can no longer see beyond present or close future because we simply are needing to trust, follow the energy waves of each moment, align with Earth and Cosmos, and release the need to know. We are operating on an as need to know basis now with the Universe and we simply won’t be privy to that information because it isn’t relevant to the experience and journey.
So remember, keeping your center is most important. If you’re feeling low, ask yourself how you are doing and how much you’ve allowed yourself to get into others’ lowered frequencies.
I’ve mentioned before that staying in and knowing your personal home frequency is key and the more you understand what is naturally you, the more you’ll recognize when you aren’t in center of your playing field.
Here’s Lee to expound upon the thoughts shared:
How Has “Spiritual Skin” Touched Your Life? – Share a Review
I’m up to my Third Eye in sacred tattoo designs and loving it. 😉 I can see and feel how the energy is shifting so much and so rapidly with everyone, as these designs are amping up not only in symbolic depth, but more and more people are also feeling this vehicle of expression and portal-awakening to be one of their chosen tools of their journey.
One of the most beautiful and valuable things to me that has come from writing my book, “Spiritual Skin”, has been in hearing from others about how their beliefs, ideas, and lives have changed because of experiencing a perspective shift from reading it.
It’s touched me greatly to learn that some even experienced opening and depth to the way they connected with others who have tattoos that they never would have before, finding a new appreciation for each person’s choices.
In some cases I’ve heard about relationships mothers had with their children being enhanced with their new perceptions on tattoos.
My own mother and father had their own transformations so much so that my mom, who would never get a tattoo, said to me “After reading your book, it makes me feel like I would really want to get one too” and my dad has exhibited proud expressions when others stop me to say something nice about my tattoos while he is with me.
In another incidence there was a beautiful story that moved me about a woman who never would have previously stopped to talk to a homeless person, but found herself finding a way to engage meaningfully, after reading my book, and stopped to connect with a homeless man to ask him about his tattoos.
And a lovely, young woman who has courageously supported her family and herself in life shared, “I read your book and I have to say, I am not a reader, I buy a lot of books that I read half way and then give up. Your book is the only book that I have ever read every page of willingly…I have a Chakra book, a book on Egyptian yoga, I have audio books about the Law of Attraction, I have audio meditation guides that have been very helpful. I have books on angels (I love my angels), and I collect stones to try to meditate with them. I feel like I’m on the right path, but I’m just not getting something. Your book helped me understand a lot of what I have been reading about and listening to, more than everything I’ve been reading or listening to has.”
These kinds of things are priceless to me and are the reasons I do what I do.
If you’ve already read “Spiritual Skin” and haven’t yet shared a review on Amazon, I would love to hear what your impressions and experiences are from reading the book and your journey with sacred body art.
You can leave your review at Amazon here – just click on customer reviews and then create your own review: http://tinyurl.com/spiritualskinreview
Thank you dearly to everyone for keeping this sacred art alive and for bringing the true meaning and value of it to the world. I believe that, as my book title shares, there is much “more than skin deep” that you can take away from an exploration of spiritual meaning behind sacred tattoos.
If you would like to partner in co-creating your own sacred visionary piece of artwork or tattoo design to embody the empowerment you desire, you can contact me at tania@spiritualskin.com.
You can easily make your deposit at the link provided to embark on this journey in partnership with me. There is currently a waiting list, so deposits are needed to hold your place, since the designs are created on a first come, first served basis.

Alone Versus Lonely – The Art of Loving Aloneness
Ashes and Snow by Gregory Colbert
There’s a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely. It’s important that we feel whole when solely with ourselves and through that wholeness, all of life becomes fulfilling and you start to see things differently.
Lonely is a state of mind, not a state of being. It involves longing for companionship, wishing NOT to be alone. Being alone with yourself can be emotionally threatening because it puts you in close contact with the one person you may have the greatest challenges relating with or liking much – yourself.
When we are alone this is simply the state of being by and with yourself, sitting with all that you are and every emotion, thought, and action that you can feel and perhaps don’t want to feel.
Being alone involves a responsibility to and for yourself, and may present challenges within that framework of understanding and commitment where choices are being made in each moment that can reshape your experiences and life.
And after all, if you experience dissatisfaction or unhappiness with things you are doing and experiencing while you are being alone with yourself, then it becomes clear there is no one else to point fingers at.
Yet, this isn’t to mean you should start attacking yourself either. It simply means that you are in control of your experiences and the way you want to feel in each moment, and that you can love yourself gently and tenderly through the process, as you have longed and hoped to be loved by others when you were in that state of “loneliness”.
Loneliness and longing is simply the child within you wanting your love, nurturing, support and attention. Provide that, and you will no longer feel the longing.
Feeling lonely is a reaction and focus on all of the lacks you think you have, rather than realizing everything you want is within you and always was readily there, but you bypassed your relationship with self, in order to create relationship with others that ironically mirror the missing connection you have with yourself.
It’s a vicious circle and there may seem no way out of loneliness except to move through it with acceptance and new found realization of what it really represents.
And that’s not to say that connectivity and relating isn’t important, as sharing and meaningful interactions are valuable, natural, and enriching, not to mention important to co-creating community.
The difference becomes that when you learn to love being alone with yourself, you can choose who and when you are with others. This becomes an empowered decision that you can make, if you wish, rather than an unhealthy longing and attachment that is merely trying to fulfill an emptiness you haven’t yet given yourself.
There are many opportunities out there if you desire to be part of a group and relate with others in healthy ways, but there are also advantages and value to learning to being alone at times, which can also prove to be extremely supportive to your growth, balance and well-being, as well as keeping you focused on your dreams without distractions.
You can interact and have meaningful relationships with others, but still be ecstatically alone, in which case you are enjoying the best of both worlds and will lessen the feelings of guilt, resentment, disappointment, and pain because you are not defined by the relationships you have, but rather they are extensions of your healthy relationship with yourself that will long endure after others have potentially left your life.
In the empowered sense of being alone, you realize your freedom to make your own decisions, to grow, and to choose what most supports your happiness and needs in each moment. You become accountable only to you and acting from responsibility that understands integrity will result in all of your relating because of your own personal integrity to who you are.
You will begin to realize that you can take care of yourself and that everything beyond the love you feel for you, is icing on the cake. You will recognize a deeper and limitless well of love you have to give and share with others, without feeling over-extended or depleted. You will also recognize your natural boundaries and learn to speak up for yourself when someone crosses lines with that child within that you are now in loving, close relationship with that understands what is okay and not okay to make her/him feel thriving and whole.
The art of loving aloneness will provide you with understanding how times of solitude are invaluable and where you can discover not only inspiration and listen more deeply to the messages all around and within, but also discover that you are never truly alone. In the stillness of heart you experience, you will enjoy deeper communion with the Universe at large and realize how much presence is in your life in every moment.
Discovering the difference between being alone and loneliness will uncover some very valuable lessons of growth. You discover many unrealistic fears and ideas you’ve been carrying around with you about “being alone”. Don’t judge yourself for this, as it was learned, conditioned, and in many cases created because of experiences you had when you didn’t have the ability to know or think otherwise. You may be on autopilot in terms of something experienced that profoundly affected you and the triggers now are unconscious, even when you know there’s no need to feel the way you do anymore.
This is when it will be beneficial to explore the fears and feelings you have, so you can understand what is at the root of them and how this simply no longer applies, unless you decide it suits you more to continue reacting as such, rather than loving yourself into a new and more responsive experience.
Like with anything, it can sometimes be a bit of a process and will be relative to each person, but you can start taking steps to enjoying that loving alone time with yourself little by little. Perhaps start with a designated period of time each day or each week that you spend with yourself discovering something to enjoy. You can also start making more mindful choices of who you spend your time with so that they are healthy reflections, rather than filling superficial needs.
See how your life starts to change, as you make different choices, spend more quality time with self and carefully chosen others, and no longer fuel longings, nor keeping charging triggers.
When you are in that truly harmonious place inside of yourself you WILL naturally attract others that reflect this. So in fact, security with your aloneness will inevitably draw in connections and relationships, but they will be on a different frequency that will feel more aligned and less charged or draining. And others will come into your space only because you want them to and not out of some unconscious need.
When you relate with others from this more self-fulfilled state of being, you will more readily be able to ascertain what doesn’t feel to match your personal frequency and what may simply be an experience to teach you something and integrate for more growth and understanding, rather than be call for deep involvement.
You will move in and out of experiences without the unhealthy attachments, and see the triggers as gifts to further you into loving dialogue with yourself.
Try not to fall prey to self-destructive thoughts during this process, or any process for that matter. You will NOT be without friends, but if you foster a lot of fear, worry, and anxiety, then that will reflect in what you experience for sure. Belief is powerful! Your state of being is a magnet.
Try to breathe through one moment and day at a time and relax more and more away from ideas and time restraints that simply aren’t founded unless you keep feeding them. You will feel more confident, peaceful, and joyful when you embrace the best friend in the mirror first.

An Inside Look At One Soul’s Sacred Tattoo Experience – Mari’s Journey with “Spiritual Skin”
So, you’ve heard a lot from me about my own tattoos and my insights on the sacred designs I am blessed to be able to partner in co-creating, but other than some of the testimonials you can find at my website, we have yet to hear a personal story shared from the other side of this collaborative process.
Today, will fill that missing link, as I bring to you one of my beautiful clients – turned dear friend – who truly embodies her own unique expression of sacred body art. I love that designing these sacred pieces brings me into collaboration with souls across the globe, from every walk of life and age, and allows me to be a vehicle of support, as I am humbled to work so intimately with each soul.
I have made many life-long friends and reconnected with soul family because of this work and I am grateful to witness the blossoming and shifts that each individual journeys, as they so graciously invite me to walk along with them for a brief, but powerful part of that path.
Today, I am excited and honored to share with you one of my dear clients and friends, Mari Braveheart-Dances. She and I, along with her gifted tattoo artist, Bethrah Szumski, have created already 4 sacred tattoo designs and are in process of 3 more. She is an incredibly courageous woman – just as her name reflects – who dances with symbolism and understands this process in reflective resonance to my own journey.
Mari’s experiences have created huge shifts in her life, that I’ve been grateful to be a part of, hear about, and witness. She has recently made a huge transition, during the time we have known each other, which has her courageously following her dream to empower and support herself. This has involved a physical move and soon to find her transitioning across the states to a special area in California so that she can pursue her intents and gifts. I’m so excited for her.
If you’ve seen my own sacred body art, you can see how she and I are walking expressions of our unique souls made visible through our skin, as you explore her photos shared here. It’s definitely not the path for everyone, but for many it is one tool and way that we have chosen to embody our self-expression and create integrative healing portals via the vehicle of our bodies as artistic and cosmic temples. Some people may never be drawn to tattoos, some may wear one, and others may find that several speak their individual language wanting expression.
Then there are people who will be triggered by the sight of tattoos, which will bring up their own individual processes to explore (or not), as well as people who are daily experiencing their own shifts in judgments, perspectives, and ideas surrounding tattoos.
You may find these two articles to be of interest if you are considering this path:
The Essence of You – Do Tattoos Support Or Hinder Your Personal Expression?
Sacred Tattoos – Personal Portals To Genetic Rewiring
The most recent piece Mari and I worked together on was her Shaman’s Necklace, which was the first piece I had created as a neck and chest ornamentation. It was quite the undertaking on many levels, but I have to say, when I saw it completed, I was incredibly moved by the way it not only had come to life, but how Mari radiated in wearing this like the true Goddess that she is.
I’ve shared photos of Mari, her sacred tattoos, and the designs we have worked together on, throughout this article, to explore as you read her personal thoughts on the process we have embarked on. I look forward to the continued journey with her and hope that you find her experiences to be insightful and inspiring.
Here’s Mari Braveheart-Dances as she shares from her heart about her “Spiritual Skin“
Mari’s Thoughts on sacred tattoo designs:
My Tattoos are my Intentions. They are my heart and my soul. You put an energy into your body, your mind, your being, your skin – and you are changed. But the change for a truly energetic/spiritual experience of course comes from within yourself first.
Putting permanent ink on your body is a huge decision. It is not simply ink on skin. As a creator, you have the creative license to adorn your naked body if you wish to. This is no cause for shame. This is something to be proud of. When you take it to the level of interconnecting your inner world and intentions or whatever way you view it, with the outer world: energetic as well as physical – you engage a level of existence for yourself that heretofore was unheard of.
Make no mistake about it. Inking oneself is huge. In a perfect world, it would not ever be taken lightly. It’s serious business, at least in my opinion. I care about body, and I care about my being myself. I love the absolute beauty and creative genius that goes into my Spiritual Skin! Why is it huge?
Because Spiritual Skin shifts things. Tania can explain all that, but I am simple about it. My world has shifted as if the tectonic plates had mis-aligned in the past some-odd years. My Spiritual Skin journey has been a part of my waking up from a bad dream, and coming closer and closer to the light I wanted in my life.
My Tattoos are Incredibly Beautiful. To see them is to know beauty and symmetry, true love, anam cara, transformation, warrior-ness, phoenix, Powerful Woman, Wolf, Raven, and The Sea, among others. All this is beautiful. It is a small part of me, Mari Braveheart-Dances. I am grateful to my co-creatrixes: Tania Marie who designed most of my tattoos through a beautiful process of weaving our energies back and forth in an infinity pattern of connection. She is not only an artist in the physical realm of being, but also and equally importantly in the spiritual/energetic realms — and Bethrah Szumski (Bethrah doesn’t have a tattoo website, as she no longer tattoos except for long-held clients) who as an artist transferred Tania’s designs onto my skin. With a true tattoo artist – one who inks you – I insist on them being both artist and tattoo artist. Bethrah is both. She made everything flourish together in one living, breathing, intentional work of art. Not only that, but Bethrah added the beauty and meaning that tied it all together. All three of us are certainly co-creatrixes of my beautiful Spiritual Skin!
Since Tattoos are much more than ink on skin, hence the experience “Spiritual or Sacred Skin,” you have to expect your life to change. If you do tattoos like I do them, as intentions, your life will change. You must trust the universe to bless you with the beauty of your intentions. Also understand that you will have to hold on to your seat, as it may be a bumpy ride in terms of adjustment. If your family is as conservative as mine, you may not fare so well. I would say to be aware, always, of energy from yourself and others. Tattoos call people’s energy. They call your energy. They are, in my opinion, a bid for power. I speak of Spiritual Skin.
It’s very important to believe in yourself, and to feel proud of your work. Tattoos are, to me, a work of art and art being life itself – equivalent to life. Tattoos = Art = Life!
And there you have it – a fragment of this wonderful and wondrous, and very beautiful – energetic and spiritual and physical journey of Spiritual Skin.
~ Peace and Love, Mari Braveheart-Dances ~
Mari’s personal process with the inking and her thoughts on how to approach and understand the unique journey that will be your own, relative to you and the energy you are integrating:
It was a shock to me to experience being tattooed for the first time. I was not prepared at all for the pain. But as I have had many tattooes, I’ve learned that my own state of mind is the most important factor in the experience. I think, too, that it is essential to have an excellent relationship with your tattoo artist as this encourages the healing process as well. It’s helpful to me, in fact essential, to focus on very deep breathing both before, and during the inking process. Also, I personally don’t schedule too much around a tattoo session, as I find that it takes away from the relaxation I need in the healing process.
I always go into a session with the knowing that I will heal perfectly, and I am vigilant about aftercare. My tattoo artist at first refused to do my hands, for various reasons – not the least of which is that hands are known to heal poorly. But I “knew” that this would not be the case for me. It was painful, of course, but not unbearable – it actually went incredibly well, and I have a pretty big tattoo on one hand. Healing was unbelievably perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever had such excellent healing as my hand tattoos!
For my large chest piece, which was done over about five or six sessions, I experienced the greatest learning curve being inked. The chest is a pretty difficult place to be tattooed, and on the third time I was the most peaceful I’ve ever been on a tattoo. It was the only time I experienced some ability to step outside the pain and find my way to experiencing it as less-pain, and I was able to continue longer than both my tattoo artist and I expected me to.
The last section of this chest piece, which is actually a sort of “necklace” that goes from one side of my neck, across my chest, and to the other side of my neck, was unexpectedly the most difficult tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I realized that it had much to do with the energetic intensity of this particular part of my tattoo – and for the first time I experienced severe bruising. I’d had the same sort of work done on the other side of my neck, and that was not the case there. In other words, often the experience of being tattooed is related to the type of animal or symbolic design that is being inked. As I looked in the mirror at my neck, I saw that Raven stood in the shadow of “the great bruise,” and I understood on an energetic and personal level why that had to be.
There is almost always some sort of “opening” into new experiences as I’m being inked, but I find that the main opening takes place over time, as I become more and more open to the shifting taking place within me, and in my life, as a result of living with my Spiritual Skin.
Mari on her experiences with me and what it has meant to her to work with the process of tattoos as “Spiritual Skin”:
To me, getting tattoos has always been about the spiritual meaning of them. I would get to a point in my life when I would want to have a design that would signify an important accomplishment or change in my life.
I have searched through many different means, ways to transform my life. I have never experienced anything as powerful and life-altering in a positive way as the experience of tattoos as Sacred and Spiritual.
I began to try to find out if anyone else had these same experiences, if anyone else cared about the Sacred and Spiritual Energetic shifts that can occur with Tattoos. In my searching, I found Tania Marie who wrote a beautiful book called Spiritual Skin – Sacred Tattoos More Than Skin Deep. I was drawn to her book by the title, and it enhanced my experience even more.
Eventually, I was compelled to email Tania and discuss the possibility of having her work with me to design some Sacred Tattoos for me.
It is almost impossible to put into words what this experience has meant and continues to mean to me in my personal life. The process of co-creating with Tania, Sacred Skin that is meaningful and life-changing, is so much more than just designing a beautiful tattoo. So much more than mere ink on skin. Any good artist can create a beautiful design. But I know of no one who does the kind of work that Tania does.
Working with Tania is like working with someone on a different plane – someone who takes what you say about who you are, and listens to the energy behind your words. Tania has the beautiful ability and gift of being able to read a client’s energy and also to read the energy that is coming through from the universe that is most needed for the journey of wholeness to be made complete in the sacred tattoo design.
My heart and soul trusts this woman with complete openness and faith in her incredible ability to truly listen. This is a rare, rare gift, and it shows in the designs she creates for me.
My life has changed, and continues to change, in miraculous ways due to the Spiritual Skin designed by Tania Marie especially for me. These Sacred Designs are so much more than beautiful ink on skin – they truly are portals to different depths of experience of the fullness and wholeness of life.
I am blessed and honored beyond measure to be a part of such a Sacred and Transformative Process – working with this beautiful human being to bring in the healing designs that are what I need at that time.
May you be blessed with your choice to work with this truly gifted and spiritual woman. You will never regret one second of this choice.

Last Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystal
#2 – SOLD
Just a quick update on yesterday’s post regarding the new Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystals that I was able to procure and make available.
Of the three only one remains. It is Strawberry Lemurian #2 that has a Time Link to the past on it – actually upon further closer look at it I believe it has two past Time Links (one is very thin) so that brings another dimension of depth, as well as has a lot of geometric shaped markings that also are encodings, and tiny rainbow sparks inside at certain angles. It’s the tallest/longest of them at 4 1/2″ long.
Again, my role with these is to help steward them to the right homes where they may be of service to the highest good of all concerned. I offer them at cost, however a processing/handling fee will be added, along with shipping.
If he (as I feel him to hold male energy) speaks to you, you can message me with questions and to order.
If you visit the link above, you’ll find more information about these lovely Strawberry Lemurians, as well as a couple of more photos of #2.
Note: Sorry, this last Strawberry Lemurian has been SOLD as well. I’m so happy that all three have gone to loving homes. If I get any more Strawberry friends I will keep you posted.
Creating A Path Where There Is None
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
This seems to be a theme in my life and likely, if not in yours yet, you may be pondering making your own way right now as well.
Some of the things that become important when you decide to blaze your own way, is to make a commitment, embrace responsibility, take action to back your words, believe and keep inspired, nurture courage and trust, let go of caring what others think, and follow your heart come what may.
Everyone right now is either creating their new path, in process of making the shifts to do so, are contemplating the idea, or are experiencing challenges because they are fighting what is in their hearts and the fact that time is up in terms of forcing the old to continue, or remaining in denial.
One of my greatest teachers in terms of determined focus, belief, and steadfast fortitude without fail or hindering faith, is my dear friend, Gaia (my Russian Tortoise).
Gaia knows what it takes to do what is in her heart and to follow through with a mission. She also has no concept of the word “impossible” – another important aspect to creating your own path where there is none.
Gaia will relentlessly forge ahead and doesn’t understand it when you say there is no “door” where she is determined to get through. She will sit for hours pushing forward into a corner of a room, because she believes she WILL get to where ever it is her heart is determined to go and she will create a door where there was none to the naked eye.
She also sees herself as much bigger than she physically is in this life, and I never have to be concerned about predator animals around her, as she will emanate an energy that blasts them so much, they go running off in the other direction.
Gaia cares not what you think of her, nor does she buy into the definitions and limiting boundaries you might place her in, given her size and chosen species she embodies in this life. She is unlike any tortoise you think you know.
She knows only her soul essence and its unlimited capabilities. She continues to operate from that all-knowing, all-being, and empowered Source.
Gaia also daily demonstrates that she has a mind of her own and will create a path or bridge where ever she feels called. She doesn’t circle around a barrier to her determined path. She doesn’t move out of the way or let the path define her direction. She simply goes through, the way she feels is the most efficient way that supports her motivations and intents, helping me to see that where there is a will, there is a way and NOTHING can stop your burning belief and heart’s desires, except you.
I was inspired today by Gaia, to share these inspirations. Currently she is indoors again with us, as she showed up back on Earth’s surface a few days before I got back home from my vacation, and with the rains, she is enjoying staying cozy for the moment until she can go back out again.
This morning I watched her, as I often do, create her own path, piggy-backing over Joy’s enchanted stuffed rabbit friend, rather than walking around it. The photos you see are of Gaia creating a bridge where one may have thought there was none.
Gaia has no fear and simply follows her heart.
I also had a magickal little experience with her, as I said good morning to Gaia under my desk where she slept in her favorite place all night near my computer and the electrical wires. As I looked at her a glint of pixie dust lit both of her eyes so ever-slight and sparkly, lasting just a few seconds and then disappeared. Then again more faintly and disappeared. It was not the light, as there was none to shine, and the glints along with the look in her wide-eyes and very present awareness in that moment, spoke much to me. She is often mostly asleep when I find her, but she was quite awake, alive with enchantment, and that sparkle spoke timelessly to me.
May you also be inspired by Gaia and other visionaries to create your own path where there is none.
Tania’s Offering of the Month – March’s Release & Renewal Special 2014
In celebration of renewal and rebirthing energy this month, as we will be transitioning into Spring, this month’s theme special is focused on Reiki again. Reiki seems to be coming up a lot – and I mean A LOT – and it’s this month’s nudge to offer.
It also keeps in line with the theme of this month’s Reiki Renewal Retreat that is kicking off Spring Equinox on March 20th!
So, if you’re in process of moving through shifts, major transformation and cleansing release, as well as doing your own internal reorganization to empower those intents and dreams, then perhaps a little gentle, but powerful Reiki boost may be the nurturing support for you.
Reiki will help you to get rebalanced again and support calming that over-worked and over-stressed mind, while supporting more courageous action from you with energetic clarity, focus, and embrace. It can assist you with any challenges on all levels including mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
So for the month of March, you can receive a Distant 20-Minute Enhanced Reiki Session for just $50. Regular price $75, which is a $25 savings (or almost 35% off).
And just for this month I’ll offer a 3 package special for only $150 – regular price $225 (which is like getting 3 for the price of 2 (that’s 1 FREE!) with the $75 Discount received.
And I’ll also add in a 7 package special (a week’s worth of intensive “let’s get ‘er done” kind of support at discount rate of for $375 – regular price $525! (which is like getting 7 for the price of 5 (that’s 2 FREE!) with the $150 Discount received.
When you have something deep-seeded you’ve been challenged with moving through and releasing, having an initial burst of Reiki support consistently can really help you move through things. Of course, results are always relative to a person’s readiness to accept, embrace, and put into action the energetic support and the changes that come along with the intents you have for yourself. This is why a package can be very beneficial to keep that momentum going and to help work through the various layers that are in need of rebalancing.
This offer will be good from now through March 31st, 2014.

Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystals Now Available
#1 -SOLD
Well, what do you know! You’ve read about them, you’ve seen mine, and now these powerful beauties can be a friend to you as well.
Yesterday I was guided to share about Time Link Crystals – The Past & Future Made Present, which ended up bringing back our magickal Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystals into the limelight again. I mentioned that I felt called to journey to the Gem Faire yesterday, feeling some Crystals were calling in terms of upcoming workshops they’ll be part of.
And in fact everything I saw in my mind’s eye, materialized and came home. 🙂
Of course I paid a visit to my friend, who is also a Reiki Master Teacher, and has high quality, “clean” Crystals. He was the first one to introduce me to the Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystals and I was blessed to have been able to choose from, or rather be chosen by, his first family that he had procured. He is very particular in the Crystals he will pick up and assured me he had brought the best he found from the first dig.
Three times I looked over his first group and this is how my three and a couple of others I procured for my friend, arrived.
#1 -SOLD
When I first met up with my Crystal friend again yesterday, I asked if he had any more Strawberry Lemurians and he said, “Why yes, actually I have just received a second new group that was found.” And once again, he told me he picked up every single one that felt energetically pristine and had the most unique qualities.
I immediately started exploring them and three ended up coming home with me by end of my time there. 🙂
If you’ve missed reading any of the information on these magickal Crystals, you may find this article I posted to be of interest: Strawberry Lemurian Seed Crystals – The Scarlet Temple to the Heart & Beyond.
So, needless to say, it was a lovely surprise to be able to connect with another group of these lovelies, and I actually did end up being the first to purchase some from this group. I didn’t have intention of any more Strawberry Lemurians, but makes sense since I was focused on their energy yesterday, that the prompting was likely a hint that some more were on the way.
#1 -SOLD
That all being said, I have checked in with the three new and have received that they are for me to make available to other Crystal Keepers and Guardians since many of you may not be able to get a hold of these rare, “new” finds, and in the meantime, they will be prepared for their new homes.
I’m posting images of the three (three of each) so you can see if any call to you.
I have not explored them fully at all, so all I can say for now is that two of them have Time Links to the past, two have Keys, one I get is a Master Crystal with tons of Record Keeper Pyramids (Record Keeper Crystals have clearly etched pyramid shapes on a side/s that hold imprints of all that has gone before and are portals for spiritual wisdom and catalysts for growth. They can help you to access personal/collective past, inner knowledge, and receive evolutionary insights by meditating, putting pyramid over third eye, or rubbing with finger to “open the portal or book” so to speak.), each have tiny rainbows inside, and so much more to discover!
You can feel their energy and figure out more about them just from the photos, which speak volumes themselves.
If one or more of these very rare and powerful Crystalline Beings speak to you, you can contact me for more information on purchasing and welcoming one into heart and home at tania@taniamarie.com.
These will only be available via my blog site. When inquiring, please let me know which one you are interested in. I’ve made it easy by labeling them with numbers to reference them by – 1, 2, and 3.
#2 – SOLD
My role with these is to help steward them to the right homes where they may be of service to the highest good of all concerned. I offer them at cost, however a processing/handling fee will be added, along with shipping.
I don’t know that I’ll have more in the future or not, as I only pick up Crystals, as I’m guided and not sure when another family will emerge from the Earth. I also only see my friend on limited occasion.
#2 – SOLD
#2 – SOLD
#3 – SOLD
#3 – SOLD
#3 – SOLD
So, if you really feel drawn to one of these, I’d suggest bringing it home. It’s undetermined how many there are of these, as they are a new discovery.
These three are truly spectacular and would also make a nice threesome, like my own Trinity, especially since they come from the same family group that were found together – just like my own.
NOTE: Sorry all three of these are SOLD and have gone off to loving homes already. If I get anymore, I will let you know.
A Turning of the Tides – Multiple Stations at the Pisces New Moon
Here are some great insights to support navigating this Pisces New Moon and the next weeks’ waters. Thanks Laura Bruno for sharing this and Emily Trinkaus for writing it. You might also enjoy Mystic Mamma’s article on the Pisces New Moon energy as well, which you can explore here: New Moon in Pisces March 1st, 2014. Both offer valuable information to help you to understand the energies of the current field of experience. Remember, to make the most of what you read and study, it becomes essential to actually put it to practice, integrate, and actively implement with the wisdom gained. As a native Pisces, this energy is very familiar to me, but even us fellow Pisceans know our areas of challenge, so it’s always a good reminder to have things pointed out, especially since Pisceans can easily morph into that dreamy unity state and easily get side-tracked or not realize we are avoiding. Part of having those two fish as our symbol, is to learn how to balance out our energies and not go off too deep in any one way, even though it feels really good. That is the illusion to be careful of – not to drown in escapism, addiction, overwhelm, and denial (as Emily so well points out). The imagination is a wonderful and powerful tool, but we need to learn to use it for actualization, rather than retreat from things. Happy Pisces New Moon! Refresh yourself, your principles, and intents, revisit the pains you’ve blocked so you can open more vulnerably and powerfully, release, and renew into a more expansive experience that Spirit guides from the core of you.
