This stone also helps with relief of past traumas which we can ALL use!Emily Chose Cintine to help her manifest business success and to envision herself with the job title she truly desires.

    Who's your Regina? | Ending and Rekindling *Toxic* Friendships

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 7, 2021 70:21


    Hi Friends, Welcome back, or welcome to the channel. This week we talked about a very emotional topic of toxic friendships and how to end these friendships that we should let expire. To be clear, toxic friendships that have ended do not need to end with resentment. Being hurt is okay, but continuing to dwell in the past will hurt you more than it will ever help you. We speak about the signs of toxic friendships, and personal limits we have set for ourselves in friendships. We are not naive to the fact that we have played the role of the toxic friend, but like everything else we speak about, we are here to grow. Toxic friendships ending are hard, because you keep someone in your life as a friend for a reason, but once you realise that the toxic behaviors will continue- it is best for both to excuse yourself from the friendship to ensure your quality of friend, and your life is where you deserve it to be. This week we picked crystals that will help us challenge ourselves to endure personal growth within our friendshipsEmily chose Scolecite.. Yes, this is another emotional healing stone. This stone however is one that promotes light work, it is said to represent the yang within the yin and yang symbol. As toxic friendships is a topic Emily has done a tremendous about of shadow work to gear up for the topic of toxic friends. This is a topic she releases the hardship she has created for others, and the hardship she has been through as well. Right now, it is time to balance the Yin with the Yang on her spiritual journey. Starr chose Prehnite, it is another green stone as the color green within the crystals have been calling to her! This stone is the stone of unconditional love and promotes peace and calmness within your life. This week Starr will use this stone to help her let go of what is no longer hers to hold on to. This week we are challenging you to create a pro and con list for your current friends to make sure you are getting what you need within your current friendships. It’s not about the quantity of friends in your life, but the quality of the friendships you have in your life. So until next time my friends, keep growing with the chaos!#Growingwiththechaos #GWTCPodcast Twitter: @growingwchaos | https://twitter.com/Growingwchaos Facebook: Growing With The Chaos | https://www.facebook.com/growingwiththechaos/Instagram:@growingwiththechaos | https://www.instagram.com/growingwiththechaos/ Crystals of the week: Ways to Wellness downtown Midland, MI

We are still fairly new into our walk down the spiritual path, but we wanted to share with you why we felt the pull to starting the walk.As we said, this is a bonus episode, and with this bonus episode we found an etsy shop that sells crystal mystery bags, and crystals are a huge part of our journey so far! Emily speaks about her path starting from a younger age with spirits, and learning the respect that is needed when working with them. At first she felt fear, but now she is opening herself up to accept light spirits with good intentions.Starr’s spiritual journey started with the want to self reflect on past situations that placed hurt and resentment in her heart. As she continues to walk the path of spirituality she is able to let go of the past trails, and have a positive mindset to the future. *Note: We do hear the comments regarding the mics being in our faces. This is a podcast that is recorded for multiple streaming platforms, and we are working to ensure good audio quality for the friends who are listening. We are working to readjust the mic placement.*This week we picked crystals that will help us challenge ourselves to excel in our spiritual journeyEmily chose Phosphoserine which is another healing stone… You know she loves these. Phosphoserine promotes aligning your third eye chakra and is great to use when connecting with spirit and spirit guides. Starr chose Selenite which is always on our crystal display. It has many great properties such as opening your crown chakra to receive messages, and it cleanses your mind of negative thoughts!This week we are challenging you to simply write down what gives you joy, and motivation to get through the day.

    Hi Friends, today we took a deep dive into friendships. We looked at types of friends we have during different stages of life. Life gives us many different types of relationships, and one of our first relationships we remember making are… Friends! We take a look to discuss the way we make friends: Kids, adolescents, and adults. As we grow, our innocence fades with the chaos the world shows us. We talk about the qualities that draw you to people to make them your friend.Along with making friends, we talk about the place that each friend fits. Not every friend you have is someone that will be on your mind when you need to vent, or share exciting news and that is okay! It’s just beneficial to understand that each friend holds a place in your life, and plays different roles as you both grow. This week we picked crystals that will help us challenge ourselves to work to be better friends. Emily Chose Psilomelane which is a healing stone that she will use to work on emotional healing from past friendships that have left marks in her life. Starr chose Pink Tourmaline which is a stone that gives peace in a time of transformation. As you know we are constantly growing through chaos of life, it is important to have the feeling and thoughts of peace to get you through turbulent times. This week we are challenging you all to make that acquaintance your friend, and to maintain your current friendships! We want to hear all about it, leave a comment below or reach out to us on our socials!So until next time my friends, keep growing with the chaos!#Growingwiththechaos #GWTCPodcast Twitter: @growingwchaos | https://twitter.com/Growingwchaos Facebook: Growing With The Chaos | https://www.facebook.com/growingwiththechaos/Instagram:@growingwiththechaos | https://www.instagram.com/growingwiththechaos/
