TOOLS Blanket in case it is wet or cold
Nature can be soothing and restorative to the soul, especially after a difficult day, week, or year. It is so beneficial to take a day for yourself to connect to nature and just let go.
Take a walk to a secluded, safe, natural location—it may be a local park, a beautiful forest, or your yard. Find a comfortable spot, possibly under a large tree that you can lean against. Sit and close your eyes, and start to ground and center yourself. Visualize yourself growing roots, deep into the Earth, until you reach the very center. Feel the warmth feeding back to you, filling you with bright golden or silvery light. Any stagnant, dark spot in your energy flows down to that warm bright center, where it is neutralized, and in return you are filled with the energy of nature. It fills any fissures or cracks in your energetic field, healing you from the inside out. Say this incantation three times:
Great Mother Nature, may you take away my pain and sorrow, and fill me with your healing light. I grow roots as steady and strong as the greatest tree, may I feel its strength every morrow. So mote it be.
When done, take three deep, revitalizing breaths and give thanks to Mother Nature.

TOOLS Paper | Pen | Piece of natural cord or string | Small drawstring pouch
INGREDIENTS Blue Lace Agate (or alternative, see correspondences Crystals) | 1 tsp lavender
While the journey of emotional healing takes time and may need professional attention, this spell can call to you some extra spiritual assistance in the form of a small token to remind you how far you have already come, and to take each day at a time.
Start by casting a circle and grounding and centering, and cleansing your altar space and the tools. Take your piece of paper and pen and start writing three, six, or nine positive affirmations. They can be as simple as “I am happy” or “I am fulfilled and content.” Write as if you had already attained these things. Then, place the crystal on the paper and sprinkle the lavender around it. Next, carefully lift all four corners of the paper and wrap your crystal and lavender in the paper, tying it together like a tiny parcel with the cord. Place your little parcel inside the drawstring pouch. Say the incantation:
I bless and consecrate this tool, may it now be a sacred talisman. May it be protected, and assist me in my healing journey, so mote it be.
Hold the talisman in your hands and charge it with your personal power by visualizing energy flowing from you into the pouch, until the pouch is filled to the brim—you may even feel a shift in energy or a slight buzzing in your hands. When you’ve finished, open the circle.
Carry this little talisman with you daily, holding it in your hands whenever needed, letting the energies flow from the pouch to you, soothing and calming your emotions.
