Here’s a fully-magnified representative image of said crystal…

I suspect that, like me, you’ll be able to tell that she’s no ordinary gemstone. 

And soon enough, you’ll know that firsthand.

To use this Heartstone in your Journey, you’ll need to print out the image and place it face-up in the center of a larger heart comprised of burning tealights (either white or pink in color, ideally). 

For five consecutive evenings, you will light the tealights, set the image in the center, and sit before it to complete the appropriate phase spell with your eyes closed.

(Please complete the spells in phase order and ensure they are entirely consecutive. In other words, wait for a time when you’ll be able to spare 30 minutes or so for five nights in a row. Missing a night will necessitate restarting the entire Journey.)

On the first of the five nights, before the first recitation, you’ll need to activate the Heartstone and open that channel of energy by repeating this:

“Great Heartstone, 

Timeless conduit of confidence, 

I call your strength into my chest.”

Having done so, it will remain open for the whole Journey.

Now, here are those spells, which you can recite either from a printed script or from memory as you prefer…

YOUR FIVE-PHASE SELF-DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY

PHASE ONE: Self-Awareness

“During this phase, the spell will focus on imbuing you with a clear and unbiased picture of who you are – unimpeded by human issues like self-consciousness, self-esteem, ego, or self-aggrandization.”

“I ascend to the spiritual realm,

That I might see myself from above,

The secrets, the televised masks,

All the things to hate and love,

I know what I might have missed,

Too close to the heart, too clouded,

And I know that this must change,

That all must come unshrouded,

I pull clarity from the Heartstone,

That it might show me who I am,

That it might rip away my biases,

And place the truth in waiting hands.”

PHASE TWO: Self-Care

“This spell is about providing your “self” with what         needs. It’s about prioritizing rest and peace and energy and balance.”

“Historically, I have lacked,

Understanding of my limits,

I have pushed myself too far,

Hopelessly lost in the thick of it,

But I declare to the universe,

Backed by Heartstone surety,

That I am worth attentive care,

And only I can give that to me,

I commit myself to rest,

I vow myself to calm,

I preserve my precious self,

And protect         from harm.”

PHASE THREE: Self-Acceptance

“This phase is designed to connect you in harmony and respect with the core self you’ve now identified. A self that you have, at times, entirely neglected or wished away.”

“I am face to face, in the unseen world,

With my core self, newly revealed,

I cannot wash away the past,

But in time, all wounds may heal,

I’m sorry I pushed you away,

And changed you as I saw fit,

I’m sorry I didn’t know,

Your uniqueness was a gift,

Confident, Heartstone before me,

I accept who I really am,

To the child that hides within,

I extend a friendly hand.”

PHASE FOUR: Self-Love

“This phase will call upon you to earnestly love yourself. To appreciate your physical and spiritual form as you’d be able to for a lover, a best friend, or a close and trusted family member you’ve known your whole life.”

“Heartstone, keep giving, 

Just a little more power,

Show me all there is to love,

As we approach the final hour, 

I am beautiful, in my way,

I am not too blind to see that now, 

I am shining, the sun for some, 

A safe bet to revolve around,

I am caring, kind and warm,

I am principled, good, and fair, 

I am loyal, resilient, and hopeful, 

There is so much brilliance there.”

PHASE FIVE: Self-Actualisation

“This phase will set your future intentions, remind you of your power, and call upon you to strive for nothing less than exactly what you want and deserve.”

“I pull back from myself,

Find the best vantage point,

And I see how I’ve grown, 

Risen above chattering noise,

The path is clear, and I walk it,

Heartstone strength in each stride,

I am actualizing, ascending, elevating,

New light and drive behind my eyes,

I won’t settle for less than I deeply deserve,

I will chase what I want through the fire,

I was never meant to be middle of the road,

Now, I will build realities of my desires.”

That concludes your Five-Phase Self-Development Journey,        . If you follow all the instructions I specified before sharing the spells, I know you’ll feel the benefits of an actualized life in no time.

And when you do? You’ll also have the chance to benefit from your FREE Actualized Answer Framework… 

YOUR ACTUALIZED ANSWER FRAMEWORK

You know yourself better when your potential is realized, and your life is on solid ground.

You’ve ascended the metaphorical mountain of self-discovery – if you like – and though the learning journey never truly ends, the most transformative chapters have been written and read.

At this stage, my Actualized Answer Framework – AKA a series of targeted, thoughtful questions for post-actualized         – will allow you to determine your deepest priorities and shape your “dream life” accordingly.

Here you are…

• What is my personal definition of “love,” and how am I welcoming that feeling into my life?

• What is my personal definition of “success,” and how am I working toward it in my life?

• What is my personal definition of “community,” and how am I making space for it in my life?

• What is my personal definition of “contentment,” and how am I pursuing and protecting that feeling in my life?

• What are my four deepest-held moral convictions, and am I living in alignment with each and every one?

• What do I most pressingly need to change about my life? How can I start doing that?

• What do I most pressingly need to preserve about my life? How can I start doing that?

• Do I have a healthy approach to conflict? Does anything need to change in this area?

• Do I have healthy boundaries? Does anything need to change in this area? 

• Am I doing at least two things daily that bring me joy, fulfillment and happiness?  

• Am I making room in my life for grace, appreciation and celebration? 

• Am I walking away from damaging, harmful emotions like anger, jealousy and regret?

• What are the six things that make me “me,” and what do these say about how I should shape my life?

• In which three areas do I most need to grow and develop? 

There you have it,        . Now, you can get to shaping! 

Let’s speak again very soon…

Your loving friend,
