Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Aloha Jonathon. . . I did look at pics of what you refer to as bridgestone. We have vendors at the craft venues I attend who try to sell carved stones. They don't move very well, then they offer them to us for sale. Although we do sell tumbled and carved stones. Katrina Raphael's feeling is that this can enhance the luminosity of stones and make more practical for use as in case of spheres, eggs, massage tool shapes, cabochons cut for jewelry. We tend to avoid anything that is not enhancing to properties of stone or its use. Even in the case of jewelry making I would rather see something set or wire wrapped than drilled. Nature knows best. However. . .If the stone speaks to you. . answer the call. My intuitive feeling it is the 'rune' etched on the rock that is causing an affect. I know little about runes other than that many ancient cultures including Cherokee and Native American used them for divination. You may be able to get result from google. If you get any results, let me know, as now my curiosity has been piqued. . . There is a term called bridge that refers to a stone that is naturally bent in formation that would not normally be so. I have one such piece of quartz. Stone appreciators like to see if it's glued as in 'repaired' but it isn't. I have often seen Kyanite pieces formed that way and they are usually the first to go as Kyanite is an excellent communication and chakra alignment tool and bridges are about transformation. As to the value of stones. The price of a stone has nothing to do with it's value and it's value to you has nothing to do with it's value to someone else. We attract people of all ages and those of varying knowledge of stones. Sometimes youngsters will ask 'which stone is most valuable' and they usually get the answer 'Which one wants to go home with you?' We try to never cross the line of 'selling something for sake of selling'. I have seen things on line that are four times the cost of what we charge. Quartz is the 'mother of all stones' and has intrinsic properties-amplification, energy transmission, memory that has made it the darling of the universe in it use in electronics, communication venues, etc., etc, Other minerals properties enhance and add specific properties of other minerals and all related to quartz, but I dare say you would be hard put to switch it out with a piece of cat scat and get the same results.

Besides, I want to see one up close. I mean, what is truly the difference between using a river rock, a crystal, or a pile of cat crap? (Obviously, cat poopie stinks!) When I think about it really: all meditation, all crystal work, boils down to power issues. Whether you use a crystal to enhance your healing process or to reduce your stress, it all comes down to exercising power over the ailment or stressor. That is my feeling. I have used crystals for years now, even gemstones, I might as well find out what is going on with this rock too. Thanks for the output folks.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi! You are right. It just didn't occur to look at it from that perspective. I didn't make the connection between my current issues and my cystal (maybe they are considered stones). You are right, there is a message and lesson in everything, and I could never get through this part of my life without my crystals. Every time I go to sleep, my crystals are next to me. Maybe that's taking it a bit far. But as I fall asleep, I love holding them in my hands and charging them. --Rose , " MysticAngel Laurie " <hot-hands wrote: > > My sense is that there is a message in this for you.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I left my favorite calcite in my pocket that was very special to me... it too went through the wash and lost some of its color and was scarred. Your response applied exactly to my situation at the time. That happened quite some time ago and I am still thinking about it... now I can put it to rest. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi everyone, I am new here and having some severe problems handling newly discovered sensitivities to EMF, overhead electrical wires, and so much other things even other people's negative energies. Within my home, I am slowly accumulating orgone generators for each room but it does not help with phone interactions. I am a Reiki II practicitioner and do self-treatment everyday but what can I do to reduce the harmful effects of interacting with others or even being outside my home? My empathy level changed recently and I was not prepared for the sudden change. Any suggestions that might help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Go to YouTube and do a search for " Donna Eden " . Do all of her exercises -- especially the " Zip Up " - the " Hook-Up and Aura Part I and Part II You may have holes in your aura, your aura may be disconnected from your body, and you may need to learn how to zip up your central and governing meridians.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello, From my own experience I think it would be great for you to start doing the Celtic weave multiple times a day, Zip up and Hook up. See Donna Eden's book for details. You could also repeat 3 times the phrase that says "All that does not belong to me leave immediately" That helps with emotions from other people. How is your stress level normally? I hope that helps Eduardo cosmicbalancesheet <wah_ace wrote: Hi everyone, I am new here and having some severe problems handling newly discovered sensitivities to EMF, overhead electrical wires, and so much other things even other people's negative energies.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Normally I am happy, upbeat and positive. When I interact (even online!) with people with any other emotions, I get the effects and feel tired and depressed even when I wasn't 10 minutes before. I seem to have been like this for last 12 years however after reiki training I seem more conscious of when it is happening. Thank you both, I will look for the exercises. They likely would help me... , Eduardo Bernal <eduardo_bernal_garcia wrote: > > Hello, > From my own experience I think it would be great for you to start doing > the Celtic weave multiple times a day, Zip up and Hook up.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I know exactly what you are talking about. I had that experience before. Specially when the person I am talking about is unbalanced. I would feel really bad. energy medicine has helped me a lot to understand what was going on and to strengthen my aura so that I am not as vulnerable.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 In addition to the other very fine suggestions put forward here, you might try this exercise from Rose Rosetree's book, " Empowered by Empathy. " This is the condensed version of what she calls 'Coming Home'. Sit quietly, eyes closed, and take several (about 7) deep breaths. Then ask yourself, " breath, how are you? " and feel the quality of your breath. Take another deep breath and ask " body, how are you? " and see how your body is feeling at that moment. Take another deep breath and ask, " mind, what do you have to tell me? " And so on. Keep doing this, taking a slow, deep breath in between each one, and check on your emotions, soul, spirit, and aura. Be aware of your own self at all the different levels. Then, with your eyes still closed, and feet flat on the floor, ground yourself by picturing a cord going from the base of your spine all the way down into the earth, to the core. Do this for a minute or two. Take seven more deep breaths. Then focus your thoughts and awareness outside of you and slowly, (from 1 to 5) count your way back to awareness and open your eyes. This will help you know what feelings are yours and what belongs to others. You should do this every day, especially before you interact with other people. It seems like it takes a long time but after a while, it gets easier/faster. Good luck, Candice , " cosmicbalancesheet " <wah_ace wrote: > > Normally I am happy, upbeat and positive.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thank you so much, I will try this soon. Yes, most of the problem is feeling emotions and pain and energy that is not my own at all. , " shotomom2 " <shotomom2 wrote: > > In addition to the other very fine suggestions put forward here, you > might try this exercise from Rose Rosetree's book, " Empowered by > Empathy.
