Healing Bath


I take bathing very seriously; it’s seriously deep Self-Care and a Self-Soothing activity that will activate your pathways of joy…your Radiant Circuits. It’s an important part of a Positive Energy Home Lifestyle.

Fill the tub to the top; you want to be submerged up to your neck area, even if you have to have your feet popping out the other side. We have an amazing formulation but have hit some hiccups that we are working out but until then it’s easy to do it yourself! My bathing formulation is stress relieving, toxin-extracting blend of Epson Salt, Himalayan salt crystals, and Baking Soda. Epsom Salt to release energy blockages, extract toxins and ease sore tired muscles. It’s also great to use after a plane ride because helps rid your body of radiation. Himalayan Rock Salt to energetically ground you and to soften the skin. Finally baking soda to extract toxins and cleanse and strengthen and heal your auric field. This is a very healing combination – A Energy Healing Trifecta.

Add Aromatherapy
Any essential oil you like / have is perfect but try and make it as pure as possible; because I tend to need the support that lavender and bergamot offer I pour in some of my Healthy Aura Spray. You can also try my single note oils and / or chakra oils. Smell is the most powerful sense we have and therefore it truly shifts our mood and energy.

Add Colortherapy
Bed, Bath and Beyond sell these amazing inexpensive under water lights, AquaLuxe, that change through the spectrum of the rainbow gently feeding your body some color energy and also creates a soothing ethereal atmosphere if you turn all other lights out. I also have one in my bedroom too and it’s very relaxing to lie in bed watching the colors transform, a nice way to gently fall into a happy dreamland.

Add Soundtherapy To Create A Calm Mood
Have music on as the backdrop to your beautiful dreams and harmonious environment. I have some nice CD’s and this article on soundtherapy is very interesting.

Have A Great Daydream
See yourself happy, beautiful and loved. Imagine your in your ideal situation…really get into it, to the point where you know what you are wearing. What we think we create, Law Of Attraction, so be in vibration with positively wonderful fantastic beautiful things.

Art Is A Therapy

Where Do You Start?

  1. With a pencil and paper (a regular pencil or colored – both are great).
  2. With a canvas, a brush and some paint (acrylic is best for beginers).
  3. Time to sit and let anything and everything pour onto the canvas or paper (no judgements on what comes out!). And note it does not need to be finished in one sitting – there have been times I’ve taken months to finish one or I will go back a repaint an old one – Tony and I both do this.
  4. Remember there are no rules! If there were art would be boring.
And That Is It!!!

Musings From Tony:

Painting is a great way to feed yourself color energy and to work through and/or discover emotional blockages. We all feel the impulse to create — if we could stop reminding ourselves of our limitations long enough and just do it. My mum would take me to galleries when I was quite young and something she said made me aware for the first time of what I wanted to do with my life. We were at a pop art show and I remember her concise commentary. She looked at me with resignation and said, ”Artists are allowed to do anything these days.” Well, that seemed like the job for me.

Painting in both our lives has led us to each stage in our personal evolution. Every time we find ourselves seemingly at a dead end in our development, painting has wakened us from our malaise. The act of painting has taught me to work through a process with faith. I will start a painting freely and with enthusiasm but half way through, I see that it has not turned out as I would have hoped. This is when I start to feel lost. But I work on with faith, allowing the harmonics of one color to suggest its neighbor and the flow of one shape to force the hand of another. The more I can silence my chattering mind and just allow the painting to unfold before me, the more the honesty of the work seems to come through. This whole process is an on going metaphor for all aspects of my life.

Painting is the realm of manifest emotion where we can bring our subconscious to the foreground and watch its workings. Like dancing and music, painting is a discipline that reinvents its self as soon as it has taken form. Breaking the rules is the rule. It is an endlessly fascinating way to tune in to the harmonics of the universe.
See some of Tony’s work.

I have to add that some of my favorite pieces from him are on the walls of his friends and not shown here unfortunately. Tony has been a showing artist since he was 18 so his complete body of work is very eclectic and here you are seeing just one “body” of work. Maybe he’ll post some of the old ones soon’ish – stay tuned.

Musings From Tina
Society has conditioned us to think that we must be trained or have a natural talent to partake in making art. Not so. As my dad says…just do it! It doesn’t matter how it looks, for me it’s about expelling pent up emotion. And it’s a very direct form of colortherapy.

I am a very emotional untrained painter but it wasn’t until I met Tony that I began to trust what I was doing and after a time I became very comfortable calling myself an artist, which I am and painting is one way I express that. The most important thing Tony taught me was that imperfection and the struggle to get an image down is style. I would beg him to teach me figurative tricks but he refused. After a while, I came to see his point – my messy etchings of a face became a style and I still use and love it today. So for all the people who swear they don’t have an artistic side, plunging in and making pictures, in whatever shape or form, is a great way to prove yourself wrong. As you buy your materials, remember, the most important thing on your list is your intention to let go of your preconceptions about art. Art is what you make it. Have you ever here of “Found Art”? It’s when an artist finds something random, usually on the street, and presents it as his or her art – perhaps a few tweaks but the point is art can be and is anything you deem it to be!

I’ve personally found that when I really let my subconscious take over, I seem to draw in a daydream and when my consciousness comes back into focus I usually find an emotional message, or other world, on the canvas. Although most of the time what I’ve made is an abstract indistinct shape, when I look at it I can emotionally feel what I’ve just downloaded and I usually end up feeling relief and/or joy because I released some energy. It isn’t always bad or negative. Sometimes and definintely in the last few years I seem to be painting from a place of radiance and it shows.

Either way, when we allow energy to be released we send a positive message to our energy system. Art is a celebration of spirit. Let yourself experience the joy of what it’s like to just feel present. It is in this state of presence that we truly create.

Let the drawing or painting take it’s own shape. Allow the awkwardness. Life is full of ups and downs, happiness and pain so not all expressions are going to be pleasing but if they are honest they are beautiful no matter what!

I have to get some good pictures of my paintings – will get on that and post a link soon’ish.

Colortherapy Healing Visualizations

The Golden Star


This visualization puts you in harmony with the earth and heavens allowing for a broader sense of connection to your higher self. Don’t get caught up in the exact shapes I am describing – you can’t do this wrong. Let your own intuition guide you and intention is everything.

With eyes closed and breathing slowly and deeply imagine a 5 pointed star lying over your entire body. See a golden light begin to glow on the lower right side of your body, then see the golden light traveling up to the center of your body, then down to the lower left side of your body and then up to the middle of your right side, then see the golden light traveling straight over to the middle of your left side and then the golden light travels back to your lower right side creating a golden star over you. Now see this golden light begin to swirl in a clockwise circle within and around your body. Breath in this golden light and let it seep into every cell and part of your energy field.

You can create this golden star anywhere in your body – on a specific organ, on your entire physical body and you can even visualize this star larger than your physical body and let it encompasses your entire being and beyond. Whichever way you decide to visualize this you can also see the golden star gently floating down into the core of your being. It’s extremely healing and balancing. Enjoy!

Speak Your Truth


We want you to speak your truth! Clearing the throat chakra is one way to ensure you express yourself effectively and also be able to process what others are expressing. I learned long ago that if you come from love, if all your thoughts, words and actions are from love you are on the right path.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath in your nose and out your mouth. Turn your attention inward. In your mind’s eye see that your feet are deeply rooted to the center of the earth and its life force fills your body with strength, balance and vitality. See your throat chakra begin to open in a beautiful blue radiance. Its healing energy is blooming and gently washing through your entire throat area, cleansing you, releasing blockages. You are connected with the blue healing energy and all the pathways in your throat chakra are clear, open and flowing freely – you express yourself easily and effectively. You say what you need too and listen to what you have to hear. Every cell in your body is vibrant and healthy, you are in vibration with expression, creativity and confidence. All your words come from love and you are heard. Breathe that in.

Healthy Body and Mind With Color


Get comfortable, close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply and slowly in your nose and out your mouth. Let your minds begin to connect with a color that feels healing to you. In your minds eye begin to imagine this beautiful color showering down from the top of your head, through every part of your body and out your feet.

Now see this color bathing each organ. Start from the top of your body, with your brain and imagine what it looks like and see the color bathing it gently and say to yourself “All of my brain functions are in perfect health and are making healthy connections – thank you brain” and work your way down, eyes, throat, lungs, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, gallbladder, small and large intestine, kidney and bladder. See each organ bathed in a beautiful radiant color (or colors) and affirm it is in perfect health and thank it for doing its job so well. Send gratitude to each and every part of yourself. Once you are done let your hands rub up and down the sides of your arms and tell yourself what a great job you are doing, because you are. Breathe that in.

Helpful Colortherapy hint: A Color Shower Quickie. You can do this with your eyes open if you are, for example, waiting on line. Just imagine the color you feel most drawn to and see it showering down through your entire body or bathing a specific area.

You can never go wrong bathing yourself in colors, affirming your own health and thanking yourself – it goes a long way.

Clearing and Balancing Your Chakras

Strengthen and Balance Your Chakra Benefits:

  • Releases emotional toxins
  • Creates emotional balance
  • Helps you resolve the “stories” that create obstacles in your life
  • Increases overall health and happiness
  • Strengthens your entire energy field

This is really a fantastic exercise to do for yourself or for another. If you want to learn more about the chakras go for it but it’s not necessary for this exercise to be effective. We also have a video you can watch or a book you can read.

The Basic How To:
Lying face up, you are going to begin clearing the chakra with a counterclockwise motion, clearing, and then with the right hand in a clockwise motion, balancing. You are the clock and your head is twelve o’clock. Counterclockwise circles will mean your left hand starts moving left. Clockwise circles mean your right hand starts moving right.

A quickie you will make 3-4 circles counterclockwise with left hand and then using your right hand 3-4 circles clockwise. This takes only a minute to do and is easy incorporate into your daily energy tune-up.

If you want deeper results spend at least three minutes clearing and three minutes balancing. A deeper session is about 35-40 minutes, or more! You really need to use your intuition because sometimes you need to work on a chakra for 15 minutes or more – follow the energy, trust your intuition and you can’t go wrong – a long session is well worth it!!!!!

Helpful Hints:
These are not a rules just guidelines so trust your instincts. You may feel the need to spend more time over one chakra, maybe less on another. You might feel you need to shake the energy off your hands while you are doing this – just shake it off to the side, not on yourself or your partner. Hold your hands anywhere between 3 – 6 inches above the body. You want to try and make your circles at a slow calm pace and remember to breathe deeply and slowly.

Taking all this into consideration begin to clear and balance your chakras:

– The 1st or base chakra (over your pelvic area)
– The 2nd or sacral chakra (just under your belly button)
– The 3rd or solar plexus (bottom center of the ribcage)
– The 4th or heart (over the heart and breast)
– The 5th or throat chakra (over the throat)
– The 6th or third eye (between your eyebrows)
– The 7th or crown (top of the head). *** The crown chakra is the only tricky one because, if you’re a woman, you continue as you did with all the other chakras, counterclockwise and then clockwise, but if you are a man doing this to himself or if you’re doing this for a man you do the clockwise motion first and then counterclockwise.

Here is a more detailed version of how to clear and balance.

First thing to do if you are working on another is to ground and protect yourself. You can find more information about this in the blog / news: Caring For The Practitioner.

It’s best to do this lying down. If you are doing this for someone else you might want to have her lie on her stomach first. Place one hand on the base of her spine and the other at the top and gently rock her back and forth. It’s very soothing. Set the intention that you and the person you are working on will get what they need from this treatment, for the highest good of all involved.

Lying face up, take your left hand and place it a few inches above the 1st or base chakra (over the pelvic area) and move it in a counterclockwise circle – towards the right side of the body. Your left hand and counterclockwise movement draws energy out. Do this for about three minutes – this is a guideline, use your instincts for how long is needed. Shake the left hand off to the side as if shaking off any energy it’s collected and be conscious of where you shake if off. You don’t want to shake it onto yourself or another person, just into empty space.

Then move your right hand in clockwise circles, towards the left side of body, in the same place for the same amount of time and shake off energy when you’re done. The clockwise motion rebalances the energy of the chakras. Take lots of deep breaths and have the intention that you are clearing when you are going counterclockwise and the intention of balance when moving clockwise. Generally, your left hand receives energy and the right gives it.

OK, so you’ve done the 1st or base. Now move up to the 2nd or sacral chakra (just under your belly button) and do the same, then the solar plexus (bottom center of the ribcage), then the 4th or heart chakra (over the heart and breast area). The heart is a great place to incorporate figure-8s, especially for women. Next move to the 5th or throat chakra (over the throat area). Remember the throat chakra has seven chambers that extend past the actual throat area, so make sure you cover the area surrounding the throat as well. Next is the 6th or third eye (between your eyebrows) and then the 7th or crown (top of the head). The crown chakra is the only tricky one because, if you’re a woman, you continue as you did with all the other chakras, counterclockwise and then clockwise, but if you are a man doing this to himself or if you’re doing this for a man you make the clockwise motion first and then counterclockwise.

It’s a great idea to weave the chakras together after this with figure-8 motions. Begin at the base and make flowing figure-8 motions up the center of the body and off the head.

End by making figure-8 motions all around your or the persons body – above them, on the side and use your intuition as to wear your hands a drawn – as Donna Eden says “Follow the energy”.

You can make this a long session or a quickie, it’s up to you. The chakras have many layers so you may feel your hand energetically “drop” and that’s ok, it means you’ve moved to a deeper level. You may receive information in the form of a “knowing” – colors, images, smells, or maybe nothing. It’s all perfect, just go with it. If you are doing this for another, you and the other person will experience the things I just mentioned. A common thing that happens is seeing colors. If you’re working with someone it’s ok to have a dialog about what you’re feeling, but don’t have a full-on conversation because you want to stay tuned into the process.

I have done quick sessions on myself in the bath that have taken 5-10 minutes, other times 40 minutes, and the same goes for doing it for another. Let your intuition guide you. Also, after you have done the basic counterclockwise/clockwise movements, you may feel drawn to make other movements such as, figure-8s or upward circular motions as if you were pulling something out of the persons body. Just go with what feels right to you.

If you encounter an area or chakra level that is very heavy / dark / stuck and it just won’t loosen or release you might want to try Pain Pumping For The Chakras. It’s been very useful for me!

Our Chakra Oils are made with a very high vibration specifically celebrated for its correlated chakra. I place them directly on my chakra after every shower and use them as fragrant energy touch ups throughout the day. They are really effective and amazing – you can learn more about them in our product section.

Using the Chakra Oils as a Tune-Up:

Use and apply your Chakra Oils as a ritual. They are a great pressure point fragrance for anywhere but if you apply them directly onto each chakra you really help support your energy system.

This is also a great way to affirm that all your chakras are connecting which encourages a healthy flow between them that in turn adds to your overall health and happiness.

You just apply a drop onto each chakra…

The chakra oils are:
Strength – 1st or base
Sexuality – 2nd or sacral
Self-esteem – 3rd or solar plexus
Love – 4th or heart
Communication – 5th or throat
Intuition – 6th or third eye
Openness – 7th or crown

Chakra Color Choice

Reaping the benefits of the color you have chosen

  1. Visualize the color washing through you, this is a color shower.
  2. Wear the color. You absorb what you wear.
  3. Solarize your environment and the water you drink.
  4. Splash the color around your home with accessories. You may use flowers, pillows, sheets or whatever attracts you.
  5. To completely align all of your chakras, you can just place the cards on your body with each color facing its corresponding energy center. Breathe calmly for a few minutes while affirming to yourself that you are letting go of all negativity and blockages and aligning your chakras. You may also use a single card to align one energy center at a time – just place the appropriate card on the chosen energy center, breathe calmly and do the affirmation described above.
  6. Use the Chakra Oils and Chakra Stones to maintain the balance and health of your chakras.
* Try and focus on the color you have chosen for about three weeks. You can increase or decrease this time period depending on what your internal wisdom tells you. Trust yourself.
