NAVNIET SAINE is an energy worker and tarot reader in Hong Kong from Taijitu Healing. Here, she reflects on creating a connection with nature and the meaning of interconnectedness. Plus how crystals and daily rituals can help.
The beauty of interconnectedness reveals itself in the vibrant tapestry of life that surrounds us. We all yearn to belong, to know our place in the world, and to feel that our presence holds significance. Every element in nature, from the tiniest seed to the grandest tree, plays an essential role in a delicate web that sustains all living beings. This intricate dance of existence demonstrates how our actions and energies resonate within the collective consciousness, shaping our reality and fostering a sense of unity.
The meaning of interconnectedness
We experience interconnectedness daily in countless ways. Consider the relationships we nurture – each interaction, whether with a friend, a neighbour or even a stranger, contributes to a greater sense of community and belonging. Nature exemplifies this bond as ecosystems thrive in harmony, reminding us that we are integral parts of a larger whole.
A powerful aspect of this interconnectedness is the Andean philosophy of Ayni, which teaches us reciprocity, and that giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. When we practice Ayni, we cultivate a sense of belonging and responsibility, recognising that every act of kindness and gratitude reverberates through the web of life.
When we feel disconnected, tuning into the reciprocity that nature offers can be a powerful remedy. Take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and feel the earth beneath your feet. Reflect on what you can give back – whether it’s gratitude, planting a seed or simply a moment of mindfulness. This exchange enriches both our spirit and the natural world.
To truly embody our interconnectedness, I invite you to explore working with various elements that nature – Earth and the cosmos – offers us. Explore energy healing practices, working with crystal and plants, meditation and nature retreats as pathways to elevate your vibrations.
The importance of Daily Rituals
Daily rituals have been deeply interwoven into various cultures across the globe, offering people a sense of meaning, structure and a profound connection to something greater than themselves. When we engage in rituals mindfully, they become more than mere habits; they transform ordinary moments into sacred expressions of our deepest values.
Mindful daily rituals help us release old habits and embrace new possibilities.
Psychologically, rituals create positive patterns, effectively programming our subconscious. Carl Jung emphasised that rituals can access the collective unconscious, offering a route to reconnect with our inner selves, build resilience and reclaim personal power.
Simple rituals like lighting a lamp with clear intention or feeding birds daily with all our love, can become powerful acts of prayer.
Here are some potent daily rituals to introduce into your life in 2025:
- Daily “smudging” (burning herbs for their smoke): Use sacred herbs like sage, palo santo or camphor, and starting from your main door, move clockwise throughout your space. This practice cleanses negative energy and elevates the spirit, creating a sacred space for reflection.
- Intentional water drinking: Each time you drink water, do so with intention. Saying simple words like, “I am happy and healthy, thank you,” can transform the water into a soothing and nourishing element for your body.
- Candle ritual before sleeping: Light a candle infused with high-vibrational oils, releasing all the unwanted energies of the day into the flame. This ritual helps create a peaceful atmosphere conducive to restful sleep.
Embracing daily rituals in our routines can unlock transformative benefits. The more we practice mindful rituals, the more potent their impact becomes, especially in manifesting our goals and intentions.
Do experiment with designing your own rituals, tailored to your unique journey, and witness how they shape your reality, guiding you towards the life you envision.
Let’s talk Crystals
Crystals have been used for thousands of years – found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, used by Native Americans in ceremonies, and important in Chinese traditions too. They work towards balancing our “e-motion”, or energy in motion, via their high vibrational energy. Since crystals are structurally very stable, they help create stability when they come into our energetic field, which helps us regain our emotional balance.
Each crystal has a unique energy signature, too. For example, amethyst, a master healer, helps strengthen our connection with our higher self and bring serenity, while quartz magnifies energy and is a powerful manifesting crystal. Crystals can assist us in letting go, forgiving, bringing in positive emotions and more.
How you work with a crystal depends on your intentions. You might wear it as a bracelet or pendant, keep it in your pocket, or sleep with it under your pillow. If it’s a larger crystal, you can carry it in your bag or put it in a space where you spend most of your time. This process will evolve over time; use your intuition to determine the best approach.
Here are some of my top crystal picks:
- Labradorite – a stone of new beginnings and self-discovery.
- Lepidolite – a high vibrational stone that helps shift negative thought patterns, fostering inner peace.
- Malachite – a stone for love, compassion and empathy.
There is an abundance of crystals in Hong Kong, but it’s important to be cautious of fakes. I teach my clients how to use their own energy to select the best crystals for them. A simple way to check authenticity is to note whether the crystal feels heavier than it looks and cold when you hold it. Ultimately, the best approach is to trust your intuition.
