General anxiety disorder is common, effecting millions of Americans every year. It’s no wonder too. We work stressful jobs, live in stressful places, and often aren’t living the kinds of lives we want to. Anxiety seems like the predictable response to that.

In extreme situations, medication may be needed, but generally speaking, relaxation is the ultimate destroyer of stress and anxiety. One thing crystals are known for is producing relaxing energy and calming your energies. These 5 crystals are perfect for soothing anxiety.

1. Kunzite

Kunzite is one of my favorites. It’s perfect for dealing with inner turmoil. It soothes the heart and improves your tolerance for stress.

The collective power of one movement, 2000+ individuals, and 400 institutes, equals 2.6 trillion dollars — all being divested from old, unclean energy sources such oil, coal, and gas. Right now, Leonardo DiCaprio is just as fired up as the Divestment movement is, and for the first time in a long time, a clear message is being sent not only to world leaders, but also, perhaps more importantly, to corporations.

The message comes in a language they certainly know well, and that is dollars. The divestment movement is asking institutions whose profits are derived from oil, gas, and coal to simply divest that money into renewable energy sources and climate solutions. This time last year the world’s largest private bank, UBS, was urging investors to join the clean, renewable energy movement. Analysts at the bank said that power plants in Europe might be extinct within the next 10 to 20 years. According to an economic analysis report done by Arabella Advisors, factors contributing to people becoming more aware about our planet and how we are impacting it are apparent. Here are highlights of the report and what some of the numbers show.

PTSD occurs in people who go through extreme emotional trauma involving a perceived threat of death or severe injury. It is a debilitating disorder that causes a person to relive the traumatic event in the form of nightmares or disturbing visual flashbacks throughout the day. Other possible symptoms of PTSD include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, insomnia, aggressiveness, or irritability.

PTSD is most often associated with veterans who experienced extreme brutality in war, but it can also be brought on by traumatic events such as rape, physical assault, car accidents, or any other devastating experience that throws a person into a state of shock. A person can also develop symptoms of PTSD from trauma of mild to moderate stress that is chronic or common in occurrence, such as the stress experienced by individuals with chronic and debilitating illnesses.

What motivates you?  Today, you are invited to take a very close look at your perceptions and how they influence your everyday decisions.  Are you motivated by chaos, fear, discomfort or loss?  Or…..are you motivated by love and joy?  Allow yourself to look at your inner patterns and programming, see what you can stand to change and change it.  Free will is yours. ~ Creator

Dear Ones, every day you get to choose what you will place your focus upon. What are you looking for evidence of today? Is it lack and what is unwanted? Or is it love and the abundance of things that are wonderful that exist all around you? Your focus is your magnifier, your agreement, your blessing. A mindful human being honours the sacred power of their attention and is wisely selective of what they gift their focus to, because through that act is a choice of continuation. ~Archangel Gabriel

Around 250 AD, groups of nomadic hunters and gatherers in and around the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico first began establishing complex societies that would eventually become the Maya civilization. Maya peoples were the only pre-Columbian civilizations to form a fully developed writing system, known as the Maya hieroglyphic script, and was significantly more advanced than many of their neighbors in the areas of art, architecture, mathematics and astronomy.

At its peak, mighty pyramids and enormous temples were lined up precisely with events taking place in the night sky and stone carvings celebrated their great leaders. How the Maya civilization ended is still something of a mystery. The mightiest civilization in the ancient Americas fell to ruin incredibly rapidly. They wrote of a thriving civilization in the ninth century AD, but after that, their records went silent.

It’s not clear how the Mayas met their end, but archaeologists continue to stumble upon the long-deserted City-States that were home to a vibrant people. Most recently, an incredible metropolis was discovered deep in the jungle of the Mexican state of Campeche. The cities were hidden in thick vegetation and could hardly be reached.

God said:

It is good just to be with Me. What more do you want?

We do not have to talk. We do not have to think, for We also exist beyond thought. There is nothing you have to do but come to Me. Welcome yourself to Me. Come to Me in your awareness. This is not an act that you initiate. This happens of itself. This will most certainly come of itself.

This is not something you do. You don’t DO it. No one can DO it. It IS. And, yet, you walk into the Kingdom of Heaven. You do not stand on ceremony. You have already had a star-spangled invitation. There never was a time you did not. You may have overlooked an invitation. Just couldn’t see it. Perhaps thought it was a bill that had come in the mail.

Your invitation can arrive like this:

You are washing dishes, and you hear a knock on the door. You did not know there would be a knock on the door at this moment. You dry your hands on your apron, and you open the door. And here I am. I suggest you anticipate this knock on the door. I WILL knock on your door.

One day, if only for a moment, you will open the door that I knocked on. You will find yourself spontaneously before Me in your Awareness. It is as if you are witnessing yourself. You are not making this happen. You are watching it happen. You are Light bowing down to Light, your Very Self.

Without effort or even intention on your part, you become all Light. Maybe just for a bleep of a moment, you are no longer encased in a body. Wow, you are light before Me.
