Crystal Healing

If you need more grounding should you just carry around a grounding stone? That depends. It can be a quick way to get results (especially wearing a magnetic anklet works fast for me). However it can also help to wear a fire or water stone to come at it a bit more gently. The fire stones are the sacral and solar plexus chakra area ones that people are familiar with such as Carnelian, Citrine etc. Water stones are the heart and throat chakra ones like Amazonite and Green Aventurine.

Both fire and water stimulate earth. This I have felt through my meditations going through the Crystal University courses with Samaya Aster (Naisha Ahsian). Today I am wearing on my left wrist three bracelets: Power Duo, Abundant Energy, and Ruby on adjustable Hemp. I really like Tiger’s Eye with Citrine in the 6mm (smaller stones) mix called The Power Duo that Artist Gems makes. Artist Gems is my business I started as a wholesaler and now I have a retail Kiosk in Boise Towne Square Mall too. We employ four local artists and donate to art programs 10% of proceeds. Check it out if you would like. Here’s to being grounded!

Is it a Crystal or a Rock?

I like the word rock. I was hoping to sell rocks at my shop and call them rocks, but I have noticed kids like the word crystal. So when I have a booth at the Farmers Market I often label my tumbled rocks and other stones “rock crystals”. Then kids can relate due to the video games and movies with magical crystals. Today I found my answer to the difference between the two. I found it while I was doing my homework for Crystal Resonance with Samaya Aster.

Crystal and Rocks are Minerals!

Minerals
Minerals are chemical elements that form a compound that is consistent throughout its structure. For example, when one atom of silicon (Si) and two atoms of oxygen (O) combine, they create the compound (SiO2). When six molecules of SiO2 arrange themselves together, they create a base unit of quartz. Quartz is a mineral, because it contains a compound that is pure and consistent throughout its structure. Energetically, minerals are very precise in the frequencies with which they can resonate due to the purity of their content. Both crystals and rocks are made up of minerals.

Crystals grow in a precise fashion and are geometric.
A crystal is a mineral that has grown under the perfect conditions to allow it to take on a precise geometric form that is determined by the minerals it contains. A crystalline form has a precise geometry of angles and planes that allow its overall form to reflect its unique mineral content. When base units of quartz arrange themselves in an offset screw formation, they will create a single terminated clear quartz crystal. When base units of calcium and carbon (CaCo3) arrange themselves into a crystalline form, they will create calcite crystals.

Crystals are homogenous, meaning that they have a regular grouping pattern throughout and atoms are arranged in the same manner throughout. This makes crystals holographic in nature, with each tiny grouping or base unit within being a replica of the overall form of the crystal.

There are fourteen possible arrangements of minerals into crystals, called the Bravais lattices.  Energetically, crystals are precise in the frequencies they can resonate with, and they are directional in that they run energy through their structures in precise ways.

Rocks
Rocks are combinations of two or more minerals that may or may not express themselves as crystals. For instance Granite is a rock that is composed of the minerals quartz, feldspar, plagioclase and biotite mica. It may also contain crystals of other minerals such as magnetite, pyrite, tourmaline, etc., depending upon where it is from and the conditions it formed under.

Rocks are much less precise in their energies because they contain many different minerals which may or may not be crystalline. Rocks are more broad spectrum in the energies with which they can resonate. They are non-directional because they do not have a precise crystalline structure.

Lepidolite: Calm Acceptance

Pink and purple lepidolite. The pink one has pink tourmaline in it adding peace and love to the mix.

 

Lepidolite is a high lithium content stone and hence offers calming and meditative qualities to the wearer. Acceptance of the present day the way it is and particular circumstances that can be changed and what cannot. This includes things that one would like to change, but would be too hard to tackle right now.

Lately I’m finding a balance between writing grants for non-profit youth music programs and making jewelry. I have also added the “buy less” and work with what I already own motto. It helps to save money and reduce clutter. I just finished a large grant writing project that I started early and worked on almost every day for 10 days. Looking back on it I could not have done it in two days, it needed air and space to develop. I accept that time is important to writing a grant application for it to be effective.

What do you want to accept in your life to add a calming effect?

Inventory

Made new price tag design for my jewelry line, and decided this might be the time to have an inventory system. So for all new items with the new tags, a number will be assigned. Then on Excel, a wonderful software program, I will track what that number is: jewelry type, stones used, size, and date created.

This will serve to see what is selling the most, and how many things I have made. Plus any stores that are consignment I can keep better track of what’s moving there.

A big thank you to the people that support me in this line of work, and help to come up with great ideas.

New Web Site

I got some new business cards made with my Idaho phone number on them AND made a web site to match it! Here’s my new site: DrumReiki.com

I continue visiting Modesto California and will be working out of both Modesto & the Boise area of Idaho.

The road to a happier life.

For me Reiki has been life changing. I am no longer afraid of so many things, and I have a way to reduce pain and suffering for others.
