Independence
July is a month that reminds us of freedom, courage, and new beginnings. As we celebrate Independence Day and reflect on the meaning of independence, I also think about the personal freedom we are all working toward in our own lives — freedom from fear, stress, old patterns, and anything that keeps us from feeling balanced and at peace. At Spiritual Uplifts, my goal has always been to create a place where people feel welcomed, supported, and spiritually encouraged. Whether you come in for crystals, a reading, an aura photo, a healing, the crystal bed, or just a quiet moment to walk around and breathe, I want you to feel the peaceful energy of the store.
This month is also a reminder to reconnect with yourself. Ask yourself what you are ready to release, what you are ready to welcome in, and where you are being guided to trust yourself more. Sometimes independence begins with one small choice — choosing peace, choosing healing, choosing to listen to your intuition, or choosing to take care of your own energy. Thank you for continuing to support Spiritual Uplifts. Every visit, purchase, share, comment, booking, and kind word truly means so much. Your support helps us keep growing, improving, and creating a space filled with healing, guidance, and positive energy.
With love,
Lynn Pritchard

Monthly Insight
Monthly Insight
By Lynn Pritchard July 1, 2026​​
July is a month of history, independence, reflection, and personal freedom. This year holds special meaning as we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence, honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It is a time to reflect on courage, freedom, and the choices that helped shape history.
Independence can also be personal. July invites us to think about what freedom means in our own lives. Are we ready to release old fears, patterns, stress, or situations that no longer support our spirit? Are we ready to stand stronger in who we are and create more peace within ourselves?
Spiritually, July falls between the Summer Solstice and the first harvest celebration, Lammas/Lughnasadh, on August 1. This gives the month an energy of sunlight, growth, gratitude, protection, and preparation. It is a beautiful time to focus on what you are growing in your life and what blessings you are ready to welcome. July is also connected to emotional wellness and connection. It is a reminder to care for your mind, body, and spirit, to protect your peace, and to surround yourself with energy that feels supportive.
This month invites us to honor history, celebrate freedom, and reflect on the independence we are creating within ourselves.

Step 2: Bless the Water Place your hands over the water and say: “Under the light of the Buck Moon, I bless this water with strength, courage, protection, and growth. May it support the energy I am calling into my life.” Step 3: Set Your Growth Intention On your paper, write one area of your life where you are ready to grow stronger. This may be confidence, intuition, healing, business, relationships, health, abundance, or inner peace. Hold your crystal over the paper and imagine that intention being filled with light. Step 4: Seal the Ritual Hold your crystal and say: “I welcome strength. I welcome courage. I welcome growth. I trust the path I am on, and I open myself to the blessings ready to come forward.” Place your crystal on top of your paper overnight. In the morning, use the blessed water to touch your hands, bless your front door, your workspace, your altar, or a plant. Stop by Spiritual Uplifts before the Buck Moon to pick up your candles, crystals, herbs, incense, oils, and ritual tools for your full moon practice.

Red Jasper: Red Jasper is an excellent stone to work with as you explore your spirituality, as it helps you stay grounded while exploring. As you place this stone, feel your feet firmly on the ground and take a deep breath,
