SEPTEMBER 2011:
LABRADORITE:
Labradorite is a beautiful mineral that exhibits a colour play that moves
across the material as it is held or moved under light. The best quality
material, which has the full-spectrum of colour play, came from Finland and is
known as "spectrolite". Both Madagascar and Brazil produce good
quality material however, much of which is of spectrolite quality. Labradorite
welcomes being handled, and in fact the more you run your hands over it, the
more the colour comes out. It is interesting to handle the two main colour
ranges: that which is predominantly deep blue with some gold and turquoise
flashes; and that which is predominantly gold with some green and turquoise
flashes. For me the former is the most protective and the stronger (perhaps
more masculine!) of the two; whilst the latter is the most multi-dimensional
and the more refined (perhaps more feminine!) of the two. We try to choose
material with the best indigo, violet, blue and gold colour plays. Labradorite
came forcefully into our lives some 6 years ago, when it was one of the
crystals brought to us by Mikaela,
the Lady Faith (feminine counterpart of Archaeon
Michael). We had been discussing Michael and his reputation for being one
of the best Angelics to call upon for protection, through his sword and his
cloak. She held out a piece of labradorite to me and said enigmatically: "Michael
does it with his sword (protects, defends and fights) I do it with smoke and
mirrors. The nature of magic questions the nature of reality - after all, what
IS real and what is illusion?" These words indicate to me the primary
value of working with Labradorite (and with Lady Faith!), and that is its use
as a shield of protection when meditating, journeying, travelling or working
in any situation where one feels unsafe or uncertain about the nature of the
energies around. Yet it also holds great value as a tool or support when
exploring other Dimensions or Planes of existence, or to use when trying to
reach an understanding of the nature of the reality of our Universe, or the
secrets of the Cosmos. Certainly, for us, it was no coincidence that we were
required to use a piece of Labradorite as a temporary resting place for some
vast Cosmic energies accessed during a workshop with the "Illumined
Ones" a few years ago. Its other main attribute lies in its
apparent darkness: the colour and beauty within only really being revealed
fully when placed in Light, or when handled with Love. How much this speaks of
the human condition and how this stone may help us reveal and acknowledge and
come to accept our own Inner Beauty and worth - also as symbolised by the gold
flashes within!
AUGUST 2011:
PETRIFIED WOOD:
This material, also known as Agatised, Opalised or Fossilised Wood, is one of
the many great minerals to come out of Madagascar. Formed from Ancient Trees
that lived thousands of years ago I find it amazing that Mother Nature can
produce such a fabulous range of colours within, what is in effect, dead
silicified plant matter. All the shades of grey, tan, brown and cream are
common within this material, although pink, red, green and violet colours are
especially prized by collectors. As you might expect these minerals are very
old and carry a great deal of Ancient Earth energy and knowledge, especially
connected with the realm of the Earth
elementals, including gnomes, dryads and woodland devic beings. Often you
can see growth rings and/or gnarls and whorls showing the details of the
tree's branches and bark. Growth rings, often seen in "slices" of
material, hold a great capacity for helping us work with past-life or early
life lessons that require balance or resolution. The bark, which was once the
protective outer coating of the tree, is found within many polished /
part-polished shapes and can help support and protect us as we journey into
the past, or work to examine the root causes behind difficult situations,
problems that require understanding or illness and disease. Petrified Wood's
energy is incredibly sturdy and supportive, and this mineral is a wise and
solid companion that will oversee and support many types of spiritual growth
work. Their manner reminds me of the "Ents" from the Lord of the
Rings, and the Guardians and overseers of these minerals hold the same
timeless unhurried Wisdom. Imagine yourself walking though a forest or sitting
in a woodland glade with a Master who can help you find an "Inner
Wisdom" that will help you understand more about your Self, your Path and
your journey. Or who might offer words that will gently guide and direct you
to find the answers or solutions to problems, concerns or situations that have
been worrying you or blocking your path. Herein lies the strength of the
Trees, and the reason that we "tree-huggers" remain calm under
pressure!
JULY 2011:
SULPHUR in QUARTZ:
Having just managed to procure some more of this crystal, I wanted to say a
little about it here. This crystal first came into my life about 8 years ago,
when I was able to obtain a few crystals and rough pieces. It was a new and
rare find, as sulphur is so soluble that it is most unusual to find it as an
inclusion in other material. Not being sure it was sulphur, I gently knocked
two pieces together, and sniffed... yes! the unmistakable smell of sulphur.
Not however, in retrospect, such a great move, as I experienced a very potent
"detox" and could not move far from a loo for the whole of the next
morning! So, perhaps not an ideal mineral to use in a crystal essence, BUT
this crystal is wonderful at clearing and deeply cleansing just about anything
that needs it, within the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual bodies. Use
on a chakra or auric field assimilation point; in a room or workspace; near or
over any site of physical infection or inflammation; or in sacred ceremony
where a cleansed and purified atmosphere is required. Sulphur, as a mineral
alone, is a potent cleanser and also esoterically carries the deep
Golden-yellow Ray, which is connected with the Divine Masculine and the Ray of
the Christ. Interestingly it is the crystal we are shown to use at the heart /
high heart centre when working in workshops
etc. with our Ascended Master crystal grid/layout for Lord
Sananda (Jesus / Yeshua), where it acts to clear the heart in order to
make us a clearer and finer channel for Divine Love. As with all clearing
crystals, using or working with it can be very powerful (as I experienced!)
and so you can expect to undergo shifts and even catalytic change when you
work with this crystal. Even so, if we REALLY want to progress and grow,
sometimes we have to risk a little pain or discomfort on some level.
Accordingly this crystal will really help this process whilst supporting us
with its powerful and effective healing energies and the Light of Christ
Consciousness.
JUNE 2011:
KUNZITE:
Kunzite is the pink version of the mineral Spodumene: sometimes it is found in
combination with the green version, Hiddenite, when it becomes a Master Healer
of the heart. This crystal is often overlooked as a tool for the Lightworker
or healer, sometimes because it is not easy to find decent specimens at a
reasonable price. However if your heart needs healing or if you need to
attract more love or compassion into your life, then this is the crystal for
you! Sometimes rather unassuming to look at, kunzite has many hidden depths.
This is reflected in the way it moves Light, and how its true Pink Ray nature
may only be seen by looking at it from the right direction. This is a little
like love too! Sometimes we may find it hard to see the love in ourself (or
others) until we are able to approach with clear sighted honesty and from the
appropriate perspective. Loving our Self is the most important thing we can do
to accelerate our own spiritual growth and personal healing, for our
connection to the Divine is greatly strengthened as we learn to accept and
love ourselves more fully and completely (warts and all). As we open our
hearts to the Love of the Divine (which in truth emanates from our Divine
Self) so we open to the flow of ALL Universal energy, for the Divine IS Love!
The act of self-love includes being able to put the needs of our Self before
others: many of those who are therapists/healers/carers give constantly to
others, often at their own expense. Yet when we are well and whole and full of
Love for our Self it is natural (and thus easier) for that Love to simply
overflow and then pour out to those around us or to those in need, without
effort or strain. Kunzite is also rich in the mineral lithium, which promotes
a sense of well-being and aids relaxation and release of stress, all of which
help us in feeling more joyful and thus in receiving and giving Love with more
ease.
Archangel Seraphina,
the Lady Charity, twin flame of Archangel
Chamuel, had these things to say to me about Love:
"We do not create love, it is simply a Divine quality of
Infinite Mercy that flows out from the Godhead and bathes all in the Light of
love, forgiveness and acceptance. Love is not "doing" but
"allowing". It cannot be forced or created, it can only be allowed
to flow. And it can only flow freely and boundlessly from a clear and open
heart, which neither judges nor condones but simply allows and accepts all as
being perfect and right for that moment. The ability to create a wellspring of
love in the heart is reflected in ones ability to accept love - love which
flows to you from God himself, passed down through your Christ-Self to your
current incarnate body and also to you from others. It is an intrinsic fact
that you exist as Divine sparks, and that within your inherent make-up all is
perfect and as it should be. There are no faults or failings; there simply IS
you - a child of God. What prevents you from filling your heart and accepting
that love are the feelings and emotions that make you see yourselves as less
than perfect - as failing in some way or as not being "good enough".
And yet you simply are as you are. All that you think, believe and perceive
about yourself and how you act and react in every moment is a part of who you
are in this lifetime, in the costume that you have chosen to wear for this act
in the play you are appearing in. Life is a role ... and this performance is
played in order to learn and grow and experience all that living apart from
God entails, for only then may you truly understand and appreciate what being
Divine really is. And being Divine is being Love!"
Fabulously clear Kunzite crystal
MAY 2011:
CELESTIAL QUARTZ:
This powerful, ancient and wise crystalline formation is also known as Candle
Quartz or Elestial Quartz. The name "Candle Quartz" is especially
apt, as that describes its appearance very well: that of a candle with wax
drips and runs adhering to its sides. These formations of crystal usually grow
in clusters and are often split up during the extraction process. Several
members of the quartz family can take this form, the most common being white
quartz (usually with a clear inner core). Other quartz family members may more
rarely take this form, including amethyst, smoky and citrine quartz: I also
own one totally clear quartz specimen, but these are still rather rare. We
discovered the small cut-base white celestials for the first time about 10
years ago and work with them on our Crystal
Healing Diploma Course, where we find they are very useful for gridding a
healing space for increased sensitivity and/or Power. I have always loved
their energies, and then about four years ago I was really excited to hear
about a new find of much larger crystals that had been unearthed in
Madagascar. To hold one of these amazing specimens or clusters is like holding
crystalline Light! They have a purity and High resonance that can be
"heard" with the Inner Heart: as you hold one they sing with a High
and clear voice and those sensitive to Energy may even feel them vibrate in
their hands. These make really fabulous personal meditation, journeying and
communication crystals. In our experience each of these larger crystals has a
Guardian who will work to guide its Keeper and help them access whatever
knowledge or information is relevant to them at that time (assuming their
intention is pure). We have also found that many resonate with the Highest
Archangels / Archaeon,
including those within the ranks of the Seraphim. Each crystal has a
unique appearance and you can often find a range of attributes with many of
them, including Cathedral, Celestial, Devic and Trigonic markings. As you may
imagine therefore, these are very special Beings!
I also want to mention amethyst
celestials here. We first discovered this formation about 8 years ago when
we found a batch "on sale" in a warehouse. They had not been selling
well and they looked very neglected and sorry for themselves. With their white
sides (to the uninitiated) they looked dull and not much like decent quality
amethysts - however we knew right away what they were, hearing them call to us
from their corner and then recognising their unique markings. We often work
with a grid of 12 of them to create a sacred space on workshops; use them on
our "exploring and communicating workshops"; and use them to hold
the space when making our Auric Essences. When we explored the Archangels for
our "Walking
with Archangels" course this was the crystal presented to us
by Archangel
Jophiel. Most grow in clusters (a fine example of an amethyst
celestial cluster appears in our shop) and when they are extracted they
are separated and usually have their terminated faces polished off. Although
this does reveal their inner beauty (many have lovely deep treacly citrine
regions within) I would love to get my hands on some un-finished ones for the
elestial markings that I know I will find there. Robert Simmons sells some of
these as Trigonals, and charges a pretty penny (or dollar!) for them. For
those that can look past the surface to the Power and beauty within these
marvellous amethysts, true gems of Wisdom await. Ancient, Angelic and Cosmic
Beings work through these crystals (note the orbs in some of their photos in
our shop) and they each have the potential to manifest great transformations
within the lives of their Keepers and those whose lives they touch.
APRIL 2011:
OCEAN JASPER:
We stock a large number of crystals from Madagascar, in part because they all
seem to have an ancient and wise, yet gentle, energy. Ocean Jasper is mined
from the shoreline at low tide, hence its name. It is only found on this
island, and supplies of good quality material is running out! Basically
Ocean Jasper is a unique form of Jasper that is characterised by layering of
quartz, jaspers and chalcedonies, along with layered nodules and spherules,
often with sparkling drusy quartz cavities within. The most sought after
colours are greens and whites, but material is also found in cream, peach,
pink, grey, fawn and a (to my mind rather unattractive!) dirty yellow shade.
On an individual personal healing level Ocean Jasper is all about physical and
emotional cleansing and balance, and about understanding and reconciling any
extremes we have that exists within those bodies in order that we may work out
how to bring them into equilibrium and harmony. This crystal can also help us
clear any negative expectations we have about ourselves or about events
occurring around us. It can also help us appreciate the inherent talents,
skills and gifts we each have, and them assist us in bringing them out to
display or use to help others or ourselves to move forwards in life,
regardless of exterior influences. This is also a useful crystal for aiding us
in connecting to the elements of earth and water and to their elementals
(the gnomes and undines) as well as to the sentient and living life forms
that inhabit each element - both visible and non-visible. Ocean Jasper
additionally brings with it a sense of freedom and expansiveness, along with a
feeling of exhilaration and "joie de vivre", which helps us feel
that we are here on Earth at the Right time and place for us. Despite events
that are happening around us globally, Ocean Jasper will provide us with an
inner core of stability and the ability to allow events to unfold as they Will
and simply "flow" around and through us.
MARCH 2011:
BOJI STONES®:
We have worked with (and sold) Boji stones for years. True Boji stones come
from one special region of the USA only and are "collected" with due
reverence and care - all true Bojis (the name is a registered trademark)
should be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Please note that
(although I have read a book that suggests you do this!) Boji stones should
NOT be struck together (unless you want them to crumble and split) and are
best stored near but not touching each other. It has also been said that they
may slowly disintegrate over time, but we have had ours for many years and
have not noticed any changes! We do however suggest that when carrying or
transporting them you wrap them separately in something soft to prevent
accidental damage. Boji stones are primarily a composite of pyrite with
palladium. They are found in two different shapes: round smooth ones, which
are said to be "female" and rougher/spiky ones, which are said to be
"male" (!) Some stones - notably the "Rainbow Bojis" carry
both male and female aspects combined in one stone and so you need just one of
these instead of a pair. Having said that, I have used 9 Rainbow Bojis (one to
each major chakra) together to great effect! The Rainbow Bojis all show
distinct colouring in metallic lustres of green, gold, blue, orange and
purple, and are quite amazing (and hard to find - although I may be selling
some from my own collection soon!) Some of the "normal" Bojis may
also display some colour - in fact some of the ones we have for sale have a
golden sheen to parts of them. We believe that all Healers and metaphysical
teachers should own a pair of Boji Stones: we always recommend these little
wonders to our Crystal
Healing course students as being one of the best grounding stones you can
get, especially for use at the end of a healing / treatment session. We always
have them with us in our healing rooms and always take a few pairs with us
when we hold courses and workshops, acknowledging that the experiences and
journeys people take when working with guided visualisation or in other
altered states of consciousness can leave some feeling rather
"spacey". Boji stones have an inherent polarity, and their
determination to achieve and hold a state of balance is what makes them so
important to the metaphysician and healer, along with their phenomenal ability
to earth and ground energies. For grounding whole body energies or assisting
the energy body to assimilate rapid shifts and changes, hold one in each hand
and/or place one below or touching each foot - you may need to swap them
around until the balance of male/female feels right, as the side of the body
requiring those polar energies will vary from situation to situation and
person to person. You might also wish to experiment with journeying whilst
holding these crystals: some of our students have had some very interesting
experiences when interacting with them on an exploratory level. We also work
with the Rainbow Bojis on our "Communicating
with Crystals" workshop, and have found them to be very chatty and
responsive to our questioning.
FEBRUARY 2011:
MOLDAVITE:
I have sold moldavite for some years now, having been fortunate enough to
manage to buy 1kg of it just as supplies were becoming more scarce.
Consequently you can buy a piece from us for as little as £4 - although we
also have museum grade specimens ranging from £18 to £60! I do not get the
"rush" that some people talk about when they pick up moldavite for
the first time, but we do find moldavite to be of use in healing work, and
thus not only good for meditation. There is certainly an appeal to its deep
green colour, and I love it most for its beauty and elegance. For me moldavite
brings the energies of Archaeon
Azrael, and I have a pendant made of faceted moldavite that I am sometime
drawn to wear when I am teaching or attending workshops where I need the
courage to travel through the void; or when I am being challenged to explore
the unknown. The fact that this is an amorphous mineral - i.e. it has no
crystalline structure - makes it ideal for "open" journeying or
visualisation if you are able to surrender and "allow" the mineral
to take you where you truly need to go to experience or see whatever is right
for you at that time, without constraint. Moldavite's off-planet origins means
that it is capable of creating energy portals, which may be of an
inter-dimensional or inter-spatial nature. There is no doubt that it attracts
the energies of the Beings of the Pleiadian star system, which includes both
Angelic presences and healing Masters. Placing 7 moldavites around your auric
field in a 7-pointed star (1 above the head, the other 6 evenly spaced
symmetrically to each side/around the body) draws these energies to you. We
find this grid of especial use when working with people who have Pleiadian
star-roots, and for whom this arrangement brings support, courage and a
sense of "home". Many of these gentle "starry" ones find
living on Earth a painful process, and carrying or wearing moldavite can help
them adjust to living (rather than simply existing) here. Moldavite's
main keywords are "transformation, rapid spiritual evolution, activation,
cleansing, protection and synchronicity": if you fancy some of that, then
why not try some!
JANUARY 2011:
CRYSTAL SKULLS:
There is already a page
on our "Lightworkers" site that tells you about our own history
with crystal skulls and my feelings about the purpose and energies of the new
skulls being carved at this time. Despite my initial reservations, I have
become a great fan of working with these crystalline beings and feel they can
make very special working pieces, as long as they are used with respect,
integrity and honesty. I don't feel that you have to have an enormous specimen
for them to be effective, but I do feel that the quality of the workmanship
and the energy put into their creation IS important to a large degree. This is
one reason why I have now decided to offer some more expensive (but more
detailed) skulls, as well as some of the more commonplace mass produced items.
Over the last few years various events have led to us at "Inner
Light" acquiring 3 "human" and 5 "dragon" skulls of
our own, mostly through surprise interactions with them or as a consequence of
visions or dreams I have had (and I'm not an "airy-fairy" wafty
person really!) With us they oversee some of the work we do and offer input
and illumination where appropriate. They are also capable of channelling vast
quantum of Light energy and have been used in general and specific healing
situations with some therapy clients. They are also keen to work more
generally with humanity and the planet and with certain individuals who come
to us needing to have specific energy connections made, or who need to receive
/ download information or teachings pertinent to them at that time. Generally
I find that the skulls are happiest working on a one-to-one basis, but
occasionally there is a need or desire for them to assemble in gatherings with
other skulls and their Keepers , which works well, as long as ego ("my
skull is greater / better / bigger than yours") and self-delusion remains
firmly out of the picture. More recently we have discovered the joys and
wonders of working with the dragon skulls, as these great Beings, who were
responsible for the founding and creation of much of our Solar System, draw
ever closer as 2012 approaches!
DECEMBER 2010:
POLYCHROME (GAIA) JASPER:
Jaspers are one of the quartz family and are often overlooked as a working
crystal. However for me all jaspers are one of the crystal healer's most
reliable workhorses and are unfailingly useful as core healing tools, suited
to working with any energy centre and with most situations. This particular
jasper is a beautiful stone, and does not deserve its rather boring name of
"polychrome jasper", which means many-coloured jasper. Robert
Simmons would likely call this "fancy jasper", which is almost as
bad! I have decided to call it Gaia Jasper, as for me this joyful mineral
vibrates and clearly resonates with the fundamental spiritual essence of our
Mother Earth: land, sea and sky. The examples we have for sale are probably a
little large to use on the body as healing stones, making them perhaps better
suited for use as meditation and journeying pieces, holding them in the hands
whilst exploring them with eye, mind and heart. Each individual piece feels as
if it is a celebration of the great diversity and potential of our planet,
both as a physical geological and spiritual entity and as home base for the
vast range of sentient life forms that inhabit her lands, seas and
skies. Perhaps Jaspers as a rule do not usually resonate to a high
frequency, but these colourful and attention grabbing pieces have the ability
to assist us in tuning in to a wide range of the Earth's natural resonances,
and also act to strengthen our connections with the inner workings of the
planet, and ultimately of course the Cosmos. They speak to us of the innate
strength and spirit of the planet and of all that connects and sustains her as
she revolves through the vastness of space; and of the wondrous artistry and
loving care of the creators that is shown in the formation and beauty of each
and every particle of her being. And as it is with the planet, so too of
course it is with us! Through Gaia Jasper we can also connect more easily with
the fundaments of the planet - with the elements and those that work with
them, including the
elementals and the Elohim - the great Angelic architects and planners
responsible for the formation and structure of her physical and energetic
bodies.
NOVEMBER 2010:
PRESELI BLUESTONE:
October and November's short holiday breaks influenced this review, as they
were spent (just for a change) in Wales, this time in New Quay, visiting with
the bottlenose dolphins, and in Carmarthenshire. South-West Wales has proved
to be fascinating from an "energy" viewpoint, and visits to the
Preseli Hills and some of the nearby ancient sites of standing stones and hill
forts have prompted us to look again at our Preseli Bluestones, which we
acquired in the summer. We have found that people that pick them up either
love them or feel nothing much from them. However all agree that they are very
grounding, and some people report getting a simultaneous sense of
"opening" in the upper energy centres, creating a rather weird sense
of being energetically "stretched". Encouraged by Guides, I have
tried sitting in the centre of a circle of 6 of these tumbled Bluestones,
whilst holding one other. For me this created a very stable "void"
space, where time, space and dimension appeared to become suspended whilst I
sat in a very still place that seemed to resonate with timeless and profound
potentials. Another time I sat in Unified
Field State within a circle of 7 of these tumbled stones, whilst holding a
tumbled white (snow) quartz at my centre. This created a great sense of
opening through 360 degrees, as if my hearing and senses were becoming
super-sensitive, feeling rather as if I was becoming a transmitter/receiver of
impulses and information to/from the Cosmos. Perhaps then those great stone
circles (of which the inner U-shaped arrangement at Stonehenge formed from the
same Bluestone is just an example) were not merely astrological measures, but
also one of Earth's ancient means of communicating with the Galaxy and the
Universe that exists around us. I certainly feel these seemingly rather
unprepossessing stones have much to offer those whose world extends beyond
that of Earth and the here and now.
OCTOBER 2010:
SCOLECITE:
This month we added a new technique to the therapies we offer, known as Tatic
Harmonisation Technique. Its two-fold purpose is firstly to correct any
disharmonies between the Physical Body Template and the Higher Etheric
Templates by amplifying and strengthening the energetic resonances of the
relevant sections of the Higher templates and then re-tuning and anchoring the
corrected resonances accordingly; and secondly to clear and charge the etheric
bodies and hence the cells of the physical body with "Liquid Light"
thereby enhancing Light-body development and, perhaps more importantly,
facilitating a much clearer connection to our True (Divine) Self and so
confirming or reaffirming our Soul's greater purpose in this lifetime.
Crystals of scolecite are used in the main aspects of this treatment and these
wonderful little crystals also exemplify who and what we at "Inner
Light" are all about. They channel Light and a marvellous feeling of hope
and peace through their energies and can be found in both tumbled/massive form
as well as in crystal-clear terminated form. Very delicate and fine, the
terminated crystals have proved very useful at transmitting vast quantum of
Light and in attracting and removing negativity from the energy field, making
them of great value in finding and dealing with what we refer to as
"energetic anomalies". The massive form, available as tumbled
stones, spheres, palmstones and wands, are very reassuring pieces that are
suitable for anyone of any age or ability to have, bringing appropriate
measures of Light and a great sense of serenity and grace as you work with
them, or simply have or hold them within your field - and in today's mad world
everyone could benefit from what they have to offer!
SEPTEMBER 2010:
SATYA MANI QUARTZ:
I have been a great fan of the Satyaloka quartz from southern India since
discovering them about 8 years ago. At that time we bought many of the tiny
crystals and were so amazed at the amount of energy they hold that we use them
as examples on our Crystal
Healing Course to demonstrate that (with crystals at least!) size is not
everything. So when this new find from the same region, called Satya Mani
quartz, came to light recently I was very keen to try some. They are
transparent and milky in appearance and slightly translucent: I prefer them
with milky aspects, which have a more appropriate energy for how we use them.
The stone is very clarifying and has a high and fine energy, opening and
activating the "feminine" energy centres in linear state (sacral,
heart, 3rd eye) and aiding a strengthening and expansion of the entire field
in Unified state. To me this stone holds the energies of the Pearlescent
White Ray, and is the feminine counterpart to the very masculine energy of
the Satyaloka quartz. To work with both Satyas together, perhaps one in each
hand, or with Satyaloka stones on the "feminine" centres and Satya
Mani on the "masculine" centres (base, solar plexus, throat) or with
2 x sets of 3 of each type to create a "Star of David" layout, would
be an amazing way of expanding and bringing our male / female aspects into
perfect balance. Bear in mind that perfect does not imply equal - but whatever
is needed at that time... For me also this stone has links with
Archaea Hope and Ascended
Lady Master Quan Yin and with the Pearl Beyond Price - in fact the name
Satya Mani means "pearl of truth". This crystal also connects us to Unity
Consciousness and to our balanced and Divine Self, opening our heart and
soul to our inner truths, thus enlightening us and revealing our connections
to All That Is and releasing the innate loving kindness and compassion for the
Self and ALL life-forms that is at the heart of us all. Heaven for me would be
to lie on a bed of these polished stones!
AUGUST 2010:
ORANGE KYANITE:
This is a new find from Tanzania. The initial deposits were very crumbly but a
later find of more complete crystals resulted in these little wonders coming
to Light. They are typically "platy" and bladed, like indigo kyanite
in the raw state, and have quartz and mica deposits within their structure in
many cases. We understand that they come from the same region that spessartine
(orange) garnets are found, and I feel this accounts for both their colour and
unusual energy. "Zingy" is putting it mildly - they seem to be
clamouring to get out of the bag and get to work and I feel them humming in my
hands like a bagful of "busy bees"! Creativity and Joy are the two
words that come instantly to mind when holding these crystals, and their
structure indicates that they will have the ability to increase energy flow,
whilst imbuing the life-force engendered with purpose, positivity and
commitment. Their colour would indicate that they are going to be of great use
with the lower 3 chakra centres, and especially with the sacral centre. Placed
on this centre pointing "up/down" the torso will help energy flow
and balance between these lower centres and in the process help clear and
ground all energies through the central column. For those that work in Unified
Field State, I feel that these will make strong connecting stones,
providing a flexible link to our Higher Selves and so reinforcing our
commitment to our life-path, and that they will also have the ability to
charge, reinforce and ground one's energies through the entire length of the
pranic core.
JULY 2010:
SHUNGITE:
Not many people know about this stone yet, but they will! This stone has been
used in Russia for years. It is only found in one location in the world, in
Karelia, North-west Russia. It is a very basic mineral, being natural black
carbon, which outwardly resembles anthracite, and is quite soft - the surface
blackness does come away on the fingertips if you rub it, but this is not
really a problem. It is however unique because it is a natural composite
material, having a homogenous distribution of crystalline silicate particles
within its carbon matrix. Also within its matrix are fullerenes or what have
been called "Bucky-balls", which are tiny hollow spheres of carbon.
Think about it.. we are carbon-based life-forms, transmuting into
silicon-based life-forms, so what better stone could come forwards to aid and
support us in this transition?! This stone is said to be very protective and
shielding against all forms of disruptive EMFs. Despite its silvery-black
colour (or perhaps because of it!) this stone holds Goddess energies - like
those of powerful and destructive Kali, or Hathor/Sekhmet
or Morgana the Druid (twin flame of Merlin Magus), whose energies have the
ability to destroy all that is not wanted within the energy field, in order to
promote self-healing on MANY levels. This includes the ability to detoxify all
bodies, including the physical body, where it can work to destroy and remove
any rogue or "imperfect" cells. It can also remove any and all
negative energetic debris "hanging around" within the energy field
and energy centres. Whoo!! We have also found they are incredibly balancing if
you hold one in one hand and a Satya Mani quartz (see stone for August 2010)
in the other, when together they set up a rotation of energy that is VERY
clearing, balancing and energising. This will work to remove "energy
headaches". It will also be interesting to try them at head and feet,
with the Satya Mani at Soul Star / Alpha; the Shungite at Earth Star / Omega
where we feel they will set up a spiralling flow of energy up/down around the
central column when in linear state; or a spiralling flow of energy around the
core and outer edges of the toroidal field in Unified
Field State, which will have the ability to permeate throughout the whole
energy field matrix.
N.B: We are told that these Shungite tumbled stones are composed of
reconstituted material mixed with resin to enable it to hold its integrity.
Their wonderful energy is, however, still very evident - and very clearing.
More recently we have also been able to obtain raw Shungite that is original
and complete, and whose power and energy is even more self-evident.
