Amongst yogis, the term "open up" is often used in a posture when you open your heart chakra, push your chest out and shine like the sun.
To open up in the spiritual world, you accept the messages sent to you and you are receptive to gifts of the Universe.
In love, you open up emotionally and surrender your trust to the Divine Laws of Attraction.
To open up means to go with the flow and let magic take place.
To leave all your worries to your Higher Being and let your purpose happen naturally.
To laugh and dance and feel peace with the World and Love toward all.
To cry when you need to release and purge when you need to detox.
To listen when you need to nourish and absorb and to meditate when you need solitude.
In all worlds and amongst all Beings, we must open up and trust.
Let love shine. Let things be and let go when you must.
Freedom is flying with the flow.

Your stones.
For a long time now, crystals and gemstones have been associated with healing and magic.
Wrapped in ancient stories and historical here-says, they are not only beautiful to the eyes but warming for the soul.
By now, everyone of us would own a couple but not think much of it.
Others, have a whole drawer... some to wear, others to carry and some more... just because.
Either ways, it's time to play with them. Hold them, wear them. Look at them. Charge them with energy.
Here is a very short summarized crystal list of the powers of the more popular stones.
The ones I suspect, we might ALL have right now, at home.
Amethyst (a purple quartz);
Known to help with sleep, or nightmares and soothes insomniacs, Amethyst is the stone of peace.
Wards off guilt and self-deception so it helps overcome addictions and amongst many other healing powers, amethyst also improves memory.
Diamonds;
Known to help with cleansing, releasing and purifying issues linked with sexuality.
Also promotes self confidence in relations to the opposite sex.
Contrary to popular belief, the diamond is not a stone of love, but can be worn for reconciliation.
Turquoise;
Known to be a protective stone. A ring may be worn to fend off evil eyes and promotes courage.
Also helps with the health, alleviates headaches and strengthens the eyes.
Worn as a necklace, it bestows abundance.
Crystal, Quartz;
The Great Mother Stone. Helps with healing and psychic abilities.
There are so many different colors of the stone and different healing properties for each color
but know that this stone is symbolic of the spirit and intellect of human beings.
Although easily acquired, this crystal has been underestimated for it benefits.
If the stone is properly cleansed and charged before wearing or using, it is a magical stone.
Blue helps with peace and tranquility. Green may stimulate creativity. Rose attracts love and opens the heart chakra. Smoky quartz is a mood elevator and Tourmalated quartz stimulates astral projections.
Jade;
Known to prevent disease and health troubles in both Chinese and Mayan traditions.
Also said to contain money-attracting energies when used positively and productively.
Jade is even a stone of wisdom and helps with reasoning.
So there we have it. A little bit about your stones... :)
Have a moment with them... share energy.
And start becoming more aware of how it affects you everyday.
Enjoy.

Public Transport....aarrggghhh mrt!
I took the MRT home today, in peak hour. And let me say, it is not a pleasant experience.
Firstly, I have decided to use public transport more regularly to cut costs and to do my bit ecologically. I have already made a pledge to myself to cut back on my holidays and work travels so I may reduce my carbon footprint, one step at a time. But being stuck in the MRT during peak hour sucks. Really.
There's always the inconsiderate traveler, the one that stops at the entrance of the train, or stands extremely close to you, or those who practically press themselves up against you as if you weren't even there no matter how many times you say "excuse me."
Then there are the passengers that ignore. They look like robots abducted them, pulled out their 'social consciousness' microchip left them there, on transit waiting for the next activation. You could be looking straight at them, ask them to move over a wee bit or if they wouldn't mind taking their lovely heel out of the flesh between your toes and they still wouldn't say a word and just turn away.
And the guilty looking person, plonked in "needy" chair, never looking up once to see if there really was an old lady or man on the train. Hoping nobody's going to poke him in the shoulder and get him/her to give up the seat.
Before I had got onboard, I was going through my yoga practice. Running through my head, what my body was feeling after one hour of power yoga and my mind was at peace. I felt stronger. I was standing straighter, breathing deeper and my muscles felt tired but empowered.
But somehow today, being around the MRT crowd left me feeling blocked and frustrated.
And I know sometimes, it's as easy as 'snapping out of it", training your mind to shut out.
Then I think, oh gosh, I don't want to be that sort of traveler, the one that is in robotland. Numb.
I want to be polite and considerate and hopefully encourage those around me to do so too.
I don't know why I am writing this... maybe it is a plea.
Let's be thoughtful and respectful of each other's space.
And become aware of your natural contribution in energy towards those around you.
We, as Singaporeans are so educated and well-read and modern, how come we still need campaigns for courtesy?
Are we that barbaric, still?
Not to see the bigger picture and how we effect the Universe. I do not believe so.
So I hope the next time I am on the MRT, which will be soon, I notice better social responsibility and we can ALL help each other live harmoniously and maintain a peaceful way in this already chaotic world.
Namaste.
