Introduction to Healing and the Principle 8 Chakras Introdução à Cura e ao Princípio dos 8 Chakras PART 1

Healing 

We all have the ability to heal ourselves as well as one and other, it is part of who we are as human beings, believe it or not, we are actually channels to the light of unconditional love, however, conditioning from teachers, parents and society condition us to think otherwise separating us from our unique power that we all have. When teaching Reiki, the first level is the peeling away the onion layers of conditioning and limiting beliefs about the self and others, the comparisons, the doctrines, allowing the mind to be clear, allowing the realizations to take place, taking the person into meditation to meditate on self.

Let me ask you a question. Who are you? 

I’m not interested in what you have achieved in your life, nor what you do for a living, but I want to know who you are, and why you feel your presence on planet earth has been chosen, what is your life’s purpose? 

It is only when we go within that we can find our own answers, these are for you to find and know within yourself. Once embarking on this journey and peeling away the onion layers of conditioning, there comes a point of a realization of who you are. This might take your entire life to realise or it may take moments, only you hold the key to the door. As a Reiki Master Teacher, and spiritual healer I help you to place the key in the lock and turn the key. We are more than what we are conditioned to believe about ourselves.

I love teaching Reiki Level 1 training, Reiki healing courses, and spiritual development classes when you the student makes realizations about the self and become a channel to receive the light of unconditional love, primarily for your own self healing and then to heal others. Many Reiki practitioners and energy healers tend to forget that when they are giving healing to others they are at the same time receiving the healing for the self. The more Reiki healing you practise on yourself, the stronger the  healing channel you become. Remember, Reiki healing, Spiritual healing, chakra healing, or any other form of spiritual healing is unconditional love. Everyone, without exception deserves to receive that light of unconditional love to heal, this is the true teaching of the prophets and ancient healing traditions.

Now to amplify the healing or to work on various chakras we can use crystals to help with the healing process, either for you the person requiring the healing wearing a certain crystal to aid your process of living and balancing the energy within the chakra or for the healer to wear to balance and harmonise the energy or by placing one on each chakra point in a Reiki crystal  healing session. Crystal healing, chakra balancing crystals, and spiritual healing crystals can support this process. Obviously I explain more in our Reiki workshops, Reiki courses, crystal healing training, and spiritual healing classes on how to work with crystals and how they can work with you for your highest good.

---

I’m going to highlight 8 main chakras (most will mention 7, but often the thymus, located between the heart and the throat, is often overlooked and is perhaps one of the most important as it represents our immune system). When I was volunteering for the AIDS charity in San Pedro in the south of Spain, I used to place a turquoise crystal at the thymus and place my hands in a T position to represent T cells. Then I would imagine the Pac-Man eating up the virus and the immune system radiating with a glowing turquoise light. Turquoise has also been valued in ancient traditions across Egypt, Persia, and Indigenous cultures as a stone of protection, healing, and wellbeing, often worn as an amulet to support vitality and spiritual balance. The thymus is sometimes called the Higher Heart, but we must focus on wellbeing, healing and the affirmation:

The Thymus Chakra is the 5th Chakra located between the Heart and the throat 

'

"I accept unconditional love, I am healing, I am healthy and well."

The crystals that reflect healing for the Thymus Chakra are primarily Turquoise, as it is known for supporting and strengthening the immune system while offering a gentle yet powerful healing boost.

This chakra also resonates strongly with Dragon Vein Agate, a crystal that helps to enhance self-confidence and self-worth. When we believe in ourselves and feel able to express our emotions honestly and freely, it naturally supports a greater sense of wellbeing in both mind and body.

Together, Turquoise and Dragon Vein Agate Pendant form a beautifully balanced pairing. They work in harmony to support emotional expression, inner strength, and energetic healing — encouraging a deeper alignment between how we feel internally and how we express ourselves in the world.

This has a price of 35 Euros

Part 3 The Witches Crystal Power Pendants Hand crafted from India Parte 3: Os Pingentes de Cristal das Bruxas, Feitos à Mão na Índia

For those of you who are drawn to witches and all things magical, we present a collection of 10 Witch Pendants, each one carrying its own unique vibration, energy, and intention.

If you look closely, you will notice that every witch holds her own expression, her own presence — each face subtly different, reflecting the many aspects of our inner world.

Every pendant is more than an adornment; it carries a spell of intention — an energy you, as the wearer, can consciously connect with and work alongside to manifest for your highest good.

The Amethyst Witches

We begin with two Amethyst Witches, each embodying a different frequency of this powerful stone

 The Deep Amethyst Witch 

Price 20 euros 

She represents the depths — intuition, protection, and inner transformation.

A guide through shadow and silence, she strengthens your connection to your inner truth.

She walks within the depths, where transformation begins.
A guardian of the inner realms, she works with the Violet Flame to transmute fear, doubt, and old patterns into wisdom and strength.

Spell of Intention:

“I invoke the Violet Flame. I transmute all that no longer serves me, into strength, wisdom, and light.”

The Light Amethyst Witch — Bearer of the Violet Light 

Price 20 Euros 

She carries the gentle essence of the Violet energy, flowing not as flame, but as breath — soft, constant, and life-giving.

Through her presence, the Violet Breath moves through the wearer, bringing calm to the mind, clarity to the heart, and a quiet strength to the spirit.

She brings the softened, radiant expression of the Violet energy — peace, clarity, and higher awareness.

Where the flame transforms, her light restores and uplifts.

Spell of Intention 

 With each breath, I am purified, empowered, and aligned with my highest self.”

This is the Witch of the Dragons Eye 

SOLD 

Price 20 Euros 

The Dragon’s Eye Witch is the guardian of inner strength and clear vision. She carries the ancient sight of the dragon, seeing beyond illusion, fear, and doubt.

Bem-vindo à Nossa Jornada Espiritual – O Caminho Violeta & Quinta O Caminho Violeta -Welcome to Our Spiritual Journey – The Violet Pathway & The Violet Pathway Farm

 

Bem-vindo à Nossa Jornada Espiritual – O Caminho Violeta & Quinta O Caminho Violeta

 Sou o Jason, e a minha jornada ao longo do Caminho de Santiago – Rota Francesa começou em Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, atravessando os Pirenéus e continuando pelo norte de Espanha por mais de 800 km em 30 dias (setembro de 2003 – outubro de 2003).Realizei esta caminhada por uma instituição de caridade de apoio ao VIH/SIDA, angariando 12.000 euros para campanhas educativas e de sensibilização. Durante esse período, desempenhei também o papel de “Buddy”, oferecendo apoio e tratamentos de Reiki no centro de dia, nas casas das pessoas e também no hospital.Continua a ser uma das experiências espirituais mais empoderadoras e profundamente transformadoras da minha vida. Uma vez que se percorre o Caminho de Santiago de Compostela, ele nunca nos abandona—fica gravado na alma.

Quando chegou o momento de encontrarmos um espaço para abrir a nossa loja e escritório, algo extraordinário aconteceu. Surgiu um local na Rua Santiago. O nome por si só já falava comigo, mas depois vieram as sincronicidades. Fica diretamente em frente ao Santiago e, ainda mais significativo, é uma das duas ruas de Castelo Branco por onde os peregrinos têm passado há centenas de anos. Nesse momento, soube—este era o caminho.

O nosso logótipo reflete este alinhamento sagrado: a concha do Caminho, o Caminho Violeta, a cruz templária e símbolos pagãos ancestrais—todos representando os fios espirituais profundos presentes em Santiago de Compostela e na nossa própria jornada. No seu coração encontra-se a flor de violeta Parma, símbolo do aroma violeta divino que recebi do Espírito, que tem guiado e apoiado o meu despertar e o caminho que percorro nesta vida.

O Luis, a minha alma gémea, e eu fomos unidos através de uma série de poderosas sincronicidades. Juntos, criámos o O Caminho Violeta e a Quinta O Caminho Violeta, guiados pelas energias do Caminho, do Reiki, da chama violeta e da sabedoria tranquila da natureza aqui em Castelo Branco, Portugal.

Convidamo-lo(a) a entrar na nossa loja mágica, um espaço sagrado criado para despertar ou complementar o seu processo de evolução espiritual, quer esteja a iniciar a sua jornada ou a aprofundar o seu caminho. Aqui encontrará ferramentas, orientação e energia para apoiar o seu crescimento e conexão. Convidamo-lo(a) também a visitar a Quinta O Caminho Violeta, o nosso retiro rural de paz, onde poderá receber cura, desenvolver ainda mais o seu caminho espiritual, despertar para novos insights ou usufruir de uma leitura intuitiva e esclarecedora. É um espaço para se conectar com pessoas com a mesma vibração, partilhar, crescer ou simplesmente ser. Acolhemos todos, exatamente como são.

Há muitas mais histórias para contar — momentos de inspiração divina, orientação e transformação que nos trouxeram até aqui. Estou agora a dedicar tempo à conclusão da minha autobiografia, para que estas experiências possam ser partilhadas de forma mais profunda quando a publicar ainda este ano, em 2026.

Welcome to Our Spiritual Journey – The Violet Pathway & The Violet Pathway Farm 

I am Jason, and my journey along the Camino de Santiago – Route Français began in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, crossing the Pyrenees and continuing across northern Spain for over 800km in 30 days (sept 2003-0ct 2003). I walked this for an AIDS charity raising 12.000 euros for educational campaigns and awareness of the charity, where I was a Buddy and providing Reiki treatments at the daycare centre, their homes as well as the Hospital. It remains one of the most empowering and deeply fulfilling spiritual experiences of my life. Once you have walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, it never leaves you—it becomes imprinted in your soul.

When the time came for us to find a space to open our shop and office, something extraordinary unfolded. A location appeared on Rua Santiago. The name alone spoke to me, but then came the synchronicities. It stands directly opposite Santiagos, and even more powerfully, it is one of the two roads through Castelo Branco where pilgrims have walked for hundreds of years. In that moment, I knew—this was the path.

Our logo reflects this sacred alignment: the Camino shell, the Violet Pathway, the Templar cross, and ancient pagan symbols—all representing the deep spiritual threads woven through Santiago de Compostela and our own journey. At its heart is the Parma Violet flower, symbolising the divine violet scent that came to me through Spirit, guiding and supporting my awakening and the path I walk in this lifetime.

Luis, my soulmate, and I have been brought together through a series of powerful synchronicities. Together, we have created O Caminho Violeta and Quinta O Caminho Violeta, guided by the energies of the Camino, Reiki, the violet flame, and the quiet wisdom of nature here in Castelo Branco, Portugal.

We invite you to step into our magical shop, a sacred space created to ignite or complement your spiritual awakening, whether you are just beginning your journey or deepening your path. Here, you will discover tools, guidance, and energy to support your growth and connection. You are also warmly invited to venture into Quinta O Caminho Violeta, our peaceful farm retreat, where you can receive healing, further develop your spiritual path, awaken to new insights, or experience an intuitive and insightful reading. It is a space to connect with like-minded souls, to share, to grow, or simply to just be. We welcome each and every one of you, exactly as you are.

There are many more stories to tell — moments of divine inspiration, guidance, and transformation that have brought us this far. I am now dedicating time to completing my autobiography so that these experiences can be shared more deeply when I publish it later this year, in 2026.

This is more than a place—it is a path. And your journey is calling.
