Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Christine My name is Janet and I have just recently joined this group to. I have been doing crystal and semi precious stone layouts and working with them for 25 years and I find it totally fascinating. I do crystal therapy/healing sessions for people, I have had my own practice since 1980 doing this, and I have not worked a day since then, doing what you love you don't work! Glad to see you here! In Love and Light Janet Wood - Christine Monday, September 26, 2005 12:37 PM [CrystalHW] New Member Good morning: My name is Christine and I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I am very excited to join your group. I have been working with stones and crystals for a few years now, but don't have anyone to talk to concerning any questions or problems I may have. I work with family and friends doing chakra stone layouts, something I " roughly " learned about 10 years ago. I've been out of practice lately and am looking forward to working with these energies again. I recently purchased my first piece of selenite and am having wonderful results with using it for energy blockages in the spine. I've also been guided to begin carrying a piece of malachite that has done fantastic things for my heart chakra and compassion. I work in a law office and tend to " shut down " due to all of the crummy energy that comes through here. I am wanting to put a basket of stones on my desk to help with clients that come through and would appreciate any suggestions. I tend to work with people going through divorces, financial problems, drug addictions (lots of meth problems), psychological and mental health issues (social security disabilty clients - some of these are very severe), and physical pain. I had a crystal sitting on my desk a couple of years ago and had it stolen, so I've been reluctant to put anything out again, but lately I've been feeling that this is something necessary to help our clients and to help myself. Again, I just can't tell you how excited I am to find a group of people that enjoys stones as much as I do.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Christine, I wonder if you can solve this problem of " disappearing stones " by putting a basket on your desk filled with small inexpensive tumbled stones. That way if someone " needs " something you may have helped them and you aren't so much out of pocket. You can clean them periodically if you find they are picking up a lot of the energy debris floating around the office. Just give them a scan to read if they are getting a little sludgy. And welcome. :-))) Heather - " Christine " <c_raven4 Monday, September 26, 2005 11:37 AM [CrystalHW] New Member > Good morning: > > My name is Christine and I just wanted to take a moment and introduce > myself.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Oooooops. Christine, I got interrupted in reading your post and sent you an email about putting a " basket on your desk " when you already had that idea. LOL. See what happens when you have kids!!! Well, no excuse. What I *meant* to say was maybe if you used small inexpensive stones in your basket that wuold help defray the cost of the disappearing stones. Ah, well. I'll go cook dinner now.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 have you thought of wearing some stones smoky quartz would be good for grounding and getting rid of the crummy energy , Prehnite is very protective stone, garnet is good for stress, it is the classic stone for stress. moonstone, and rose quartz are very calming and if it were me I would get some of the tumbled stones that you can get a bag of for 4$ and place them there. ask in your mind for the guidance for the stones you need to help you in your office. you will get some that will end up permanent fixtures. you might even consider a fancy jar to place them in, so it looks decorative, not highly valuable. Tigers eye is good for slowing enery you dont want I would definately have that in the jar . just follow your instincts. hope this helps have a happy and keep smiling Angelina > I work in a law office and tend to " shut down " due to all of the > crummy energy that comes through here.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hello, New to the group, and I was curious as to what type of crystals I would need for moving to Alaska, where it will be dark for the next 5 months. I already have a rose quartz and a crystal from an old chandelier. Moving to a very remote town in north Alaska. Having a new job, new surroundings and a new time zone. Living in Ore. now. (Portland). Anything would help. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 It's very interesting that you would mention Prehnite, because I went to a local stone shop today and bought a nice rough piece for myself, not knowing why or its properties, just thought it looked very pretty. There's a rock and mineral show this saturday in Omaha and I think I'll gather some of the one's you've suggested there, where I can get them a little more inexpensively. I've never kept stones in glass jars, though, does that work well? I've always used wooden bowls or baskets. I do wear a nice citrine everyday and moonstone. They do help. Thank you for the advice.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hello, Michael, What a wonderful adventure! Moving to Alaska! I would ask you to use what you like and disregard the rest. First of all, citrine is jumping up and down, it is a solar chakra power stone which would also bring light into your being, I am thinging. Also the happy thoughts that citrine brings. Sunstone from the Indian sub-continent is also twinkling at me. Lepidolite because it is a combination of mica (sparkly happy happy mirror of self) and lithium, which is a good emotion balancer. Smoky quartz and then hematite for grounding. And all the clear quartz you can cram into your suitcase. I'd leave room for clothing, but that is what I'd bring with me, if I were you. Singers would be of assistance to you, I am thinking. Best of luck! Love, Light and Blessings to us all, Diana Endresen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi Ruth, I am a member of this group and thought I would tell you some of my experiences that may be of help to you. I am a Hypnotherapist and have a client with Parkinson's Disease. I have found that EFT works very well with her. That stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and you can download the manual on Emofree.com if you are not familiar with the modality. One of the things that I have found is that my client has guilt and when we address that, the shaking/tremors completely subside. You may want to think about any guilt that you may be holding inside of you and you may want to find ways to release this. I hope that this is of help to you and I wish you the very best.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Lara, Welcome to . We are happy to have you join us. It sounds as though you bring good experiences with nutrition with you. I think you'll like us here!I ate a strict macrobiotic diet while I was going through my cancer treatment. I still try to stick as close as I can to that diet. I do alot of juicing as well. I have no experience with apricot pits. But something came up about apple seeds on another site I am invoved with. Even though they contain small amounts of cyanide like the apricot pits do, they are supposed to be good for people and effective in preventing cancer.I had colo-rectal cancer and was given less than six months to live. That was 4 years ago now and here I still am! I had to go through the most aggressive chemo and radiation treamtent available. The treatment should have killed me too. I guess the docs thought since I was going to die anyway it wouldn't hurt to kill me with the treatment! I did alot of nutritional and alternative things on my own. My docs knew about all of them. When I had finished my treatment they told me the reason I survived both the cancer and the treatment was most certainly my nutrition. My radiation oncologist, Ph.D., even wrote a letter to that effect for my metabolic nutrition business. I have it laminated and carry it with me wherever I go.I consult with people on nutritional issues from obesity to cancer and everything in between. I also use and recommend the very best nutritional supplements available. Some would beg to differ with me. That is usually because they have used a supplement that gave them great benefits and they really believe in it, as I do with mine, or because they sell a nutritional product. But you'll find I didn't come here to sell anything because anyone who has a life threatening illness I will give my entire distributor discount to so they can get well as affordably as possible. I'm on a mission to save lives, not make money. I make enough money from people whose lives aren't in immediate danger.That is my story. I have planned to re-post my cancer story since it was posted quite a while ago and people usually don't go far enough back into the archives to find it. Maybe something in my story may help you make some good recommendations for your loved ones with cancer. It is a horrible disease and often the treatment is even worse. But it is not a death sentence anymore. It can be. But it is survivable by those of us brave enough to take control of our own health through nutritional and alternative therapies.So welcome aboard. We look forward to sharing with you and learning from your knowledge and experience as well.Blessings, Reneeles_livres_que <les_livres_que wrote: hello, I am new to this list, Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi, Lara. Welcome! I have lupus and have been improving using the Gerson Therapy (www.gerson.org) They have cured thousands of people from terminal cancer. It's a non-profit organization. If you're interested, you can read Charlotte Gerson's book "The Gerson Therapy", it's only about $12. On the website, they also sell Beata Bishop's book "A Time to Heal" (excellent account of how she completely healed from melanoma using the therapy). It is based on nutrition, juicing, all natural things, but it is potent. Let me know if you need more info.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 HI Gina, I am always referring people to your website. I hope they are going there. I looked at your fasting journal. It is great. I also am going to try your $2000 bath! Everyone here knows I do liver and colon detoxing and oral chelation all the time. But this bath sounds amazing. I absolutely must try it, if only to satisfy my own curiosity as to what color the clay will turn out to be for me! I will let you know. Where did you buy your clay?Blessings, ReneeGina Kopera <ginakopera1 wrote: Hi Lara, I have a testimonial on Conquering MS www.ginakopera.com . Relax. Mail virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 ---hi jay and a welcome advice -lots of it a good starter of the many principles of health is utilise massage therapy and share your knowledge here is why Here are some reported benefits of massage: Research in massage therapy has been ongoing for more than 120 years. Here are some reported benefits of massage: Preliminary results suggested cancer patients had less pain and anxiety after receiving therapeutic massage at the James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio. Women who had experienced the recent death of a child were less depressed after receiving therapeutic massage, according to preliminary results of a study at the University of South Carolina Medical school students at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School who were massaged before an exam showed a significant decrease in anxiety and respiratory rates. as well as a significant increase in white blood cells and natural killer cell activity, suggesting a benefit to the immune system Studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found massage beneficial in improving weight gain in HIV-exposed infants and facilitating recovery in patients who underwent abdominal surgery. At the University of Miami School of Medicine's Touch Research Institute, researchers have found that massage is helpful in decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension, alleviating pain in migraine sufferers and improving alertness and performance in office workers. An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment). Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury. Research has verified that: Office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who weren't massaged. Massage therapy decreased the effects of anxiety, tension, depression, pain, and itching in burn patients. Abdominal surgery patients recovered more quickly after massage. Premature infants who were massaged gained more weight and fared better than those who weren't. Autistic children showed less erratic behaviour after massage therapy. According AMTA, massage helps both physically and mentally. " Often times people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that bring people to family-practice physicians. What they require is someone to listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does not exist in modern medicine. One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't touch their patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago massage was a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much touch, so much goodness conveyed through massage. Now nurses for the most part are as busy as physicians. They're writing charts, dealing with insurance notes, they're doing procedures and often there is no room for massage any more. I believe massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing process not only in the hospital environment but because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in the healing process any time and anywhere. " Joan Borysenko - Massage Journal Interview, Fall 1999 Physical Benefits of Therapeutic Massage Massage also provides another therapeutic component largely absent in today's world: tactile stimulation, or, more simply, touch. In 1986, the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami published groundbreaking research on the effects of massage on premature babies. The preterm babies who received massage therapy showed 47% greater weight gain and six-day shorter hospital stays than the infants who were not receiving massage. But is this study evidence of what loving touch can do spiritually, or rather what massage can do on a physiological level? Regardless, babies are not the only benefactors Helps relieve stress and aids relaxation Helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness Alleviates discomfort during pregnancy Fosters faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments; reduces pain and swelling; reduces formation of excessive scar tissue Reduces muscle spasms Provides greater joint flexibility and range of motion Enhances athletic performance; Treats injuries caused during sport or work Promotes deeper and easier breathing Improves circulation of blood and movement of lymph fluids Reduces blood pressure Helps relieve tension-related headaches and effects of eye-strain Enhances the health and nourishment of skin Improves posture Strengthens the immune system Treats musculoskeletal problems Rehabilitation post operative Rehabilitation after injury (Source: AMTA Mental Benefits of Massage Therapy Fosters peace of mind Promotes a relaxed state of mental alertness Helps relieve mental stress Improves ability to monitor stress signals and respond appropriately Enhances capacity for calm thinking and creativity Emotional Benefits Satisfies needs for caring nurturing touch Fosters a feeling of well- being Reduces levels of anxiety Creates body awareness Increases awareness of mind-body connection Emotional Level benefits Feeling of well-being Reduced levels of anxiety Increased awareness of mind-body connection Enhanced self image A sense of being unified and in harmony phil In , " rockabillie_13 " <AMAZINGTEARDROP wrote: > > hello every body, i just joined the group.
