Sulphur Quartz Crystals Repel Chupacabras and Extraterrestrials

Sulphur Quartz healing crystal is a stone with either sulphur mixed within the quartz or with inclusions of sulphur.  In any event, it will be a green or yellow colored stone and should have a sulphur odor when broken or crushed. 

Sulphur Quartz has the great attribute for inspiring devotion in loved ones.  It also historically, has been used by aboriginal people to ward off unexplainable beasts.  It must work because so many people used it!  Native Americans used to get rid of Big Foot, Tibetans kept handy to repel the Yeti Monster, people in Mexico used to keep Chupacabras from getting their animals.  In more modern times, it has been suggested as a use to avoid visitations by Extra-terrestrials.  It is supposed to help keep E.T.s (and possible the Government) from getting control of one's mind. 


Whether you believe in all that or not, wouldn't hurt to keep one handy.  Available here for purchase ~~http://tinyurl.com/sulphurQ

Spiral of Life Begins Again with Vernal Equinox

The Vernal Equinox or Spring Equinox was yesterday, March 20.  With it we see Mother Earth changing and growing; spring is the time of rebirth and rejuvenation.  It reminds me of a spiral of life that is ever expanding outward, embracing creativity and freedom enabling all of us to be who we were meant to be.

Now is the time for each of us to stretch ourselves and find new beginnings and new outlets for our creativity, expressing love for God's Creation and all beings.

The flow of the seasons is felt in our inner life and outer life as we move in and expand our spiral of life - the spiral starts out tight in the beginning and gradually loosens as we expand our creative selves into becoming all that our Creator intended for us to be.  Every step we take is an invitation to grow.  Life changes, nothing stays the same.  We have to embrace the change, and strike out on new paths when necessary.

Our ancient ancestors knew that Spring was the time for all things to experience growth and rebirth.  They realized that the long, hard winter gave way to new crops which meant food and animals would give birth.  Our ancestors honored this time with rituals and celebrations.  We, too, can embrace this celebration, honoring Spring and Easter, as we transform into new beings.

Please be encouraged at this time to:

Dream big
Express gratitude
Demonstrate creativity
Embrace wholeness - be the whole person you were meant to be
Allow perfect peace to enter your being
Discover what you were created to be by our Divine Creator -
And then Be that Person

Healing Crystals for Colds and Flus

Flu season is almost over hopefully but still we are getting several inquiries on how to use healing crystals for colds and flus.

Colds and flu are caused by bacterial and viral agents that agent one's system.  But if it could really be traced by the source, we would find that the individual had allowed the energy system to be depleted or get run down, allowing for illness to seize the opportunity to make its way into the energetic body.

Healing crystals help by allowing the body to relax and heal itself as well as re-align the energy disruption, and speed up healing on the physical level.

Be sure to cleanse and clear the stones frequently when you have a cold or flu.

Healing Crystals to Use with Colds and Flu:
Choose a stone from the list below to carry on the body until the symptoms cease -

Flu Symptoms - Fluorite, Moss Agate, Labradorite, Leopardskin Jasper
Colds - Larimar, Labradorite, Fluorite, Moss Agate, Jet, Carnelian, Ametrine, Clear Quartz, Leopardskin Jasper
Coughs - Amber, Ametrine, Aquamarine, Topaz

Hold the crystal(s) and make a healing affirmation.  For example, say "My body is healed.  I have energy and peace."  Visualize a white light entering the body and clearing out all areas of sickness, replacing with the white light.

Place the crystals under the pillow or bed at night while you sleep.

Use a Healing Grid:
Lay down for 30 - 45 minutes daily with this healing grid until the symptoms are alleviated -

Base Chakra - Hematite
Sacral Chakra - Red Jasper
Solar Plexus - Yellow Jasper or Amber
Heart - Emerald or Rose Quartz
Throat Chakra - Blue Agate
Third Eye - Lapiz
Crown Chakra - Clear Quartz

Outside of feet and hands -Place a clear Quartz point on the outside of each foot pointing up or down (does not matter, just make sure all points are pointing the same direction).
Outside of head (beside ears) - Place a clear Quartz point on the outside of each ear pointing up or down.

Crystal Elixir:
An elixir can be made of the chosen stones to give a boost, sip as needed.  Gargling with the elixir is help, mix with salt water to sooth a sore throat.

Warm Bath:
A warm bath can help using some of the above healing crystals mixed with Hematite or Rose Quartz.  Place stones directly in the bath water, placing a Blue Agate or Lapis on the Crown Chakra for added relaxation and healing.

Steam inhalation can be very infective for colds.  Add a few drops of lavender, tea tree oil, or eucalyptus oil to very hot water.  Add 10 drops of your Crystal Elixir and place in a glass bowl (not metal).  Create a tent effect with a towel or cloth over your head and bowl - inhale the steam for 15 minutes.  If you do not have an elixir made up, put your stones in the hot water.

Handling Stress at Work with Crystal Energy

So often we have stress at work from our bosses, co-workers, and the public, as a result of a small mistake blown out of proportion.  Typically, it isn't the BIG mistakes that we make that result in stress but is the small faux pas that seems to get us into trouble.  Of course, immediately you should apologize or try to make it right with the person that you have wronged or offended if possible.  Try to figure out the nature of the offense and why the person took it so badly and then make corrections in your own behavior.

Before stress occurs in the workplace, set up a harmonious environment for yourself and your co-workers.  If you only have a cubicle or even only a locker, keep your healing crystals available and nearby to promote harmony and cooperation. 

Green Aventurine and Citrine are good to strengthen your own self-confidence when it seems like everyone is against you or that you are making lots of mistakes.  A necklace could be worn, or pocket stone carried.  I recommend putting a large stone on your desk or somewhere where others can see it, too. 

Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, and Rhodocrosite will promote harmony as well as create an environment of unconditional love.  This is particularly needed when a workplace has many divergent types of personalities and those personalities clash.  A grid around the office or desk with those stones can work wonders. 

And lastly, Calcite provides motivation and facilitates change.  A large cluster of Calcite in a prominent location would be beneficial if change is what is needed in the workplace, whether it is your own attitude that needs to be changed or the attitudes/work habits of others. 

Repeating positive affirmations about work while at work can create a positive attitude - fake it til you make it is the key here.  Here are some of the positive affirmations I have compiled that I use for this purpose:

I am doing work that I enjoy.

My work is fulfilling.

I do not settle for meaningless and boring work.

My co-workers are supportive of my efforts.

I get along well with my co-workers.

I work at a steady pace to achieve my goals.

I control my anger at work.

I make correct decisions at work.

My co-workers and supervisor want me to be a success.

I can change my work when I so desire.

I enjoy my co-workers.

I love my co-workers and wish them the best in their endeavors.

I act in a profession manner.

 

If you are able, soothing music can be played.  Music that is designated as "Reiki Music" is especially soothing and comforting. 

Remember - you may have to fake it for awhile until it all turns around for you.  Act as though everything is fine and act as if everyone loves you and only wants the best for you. 

Hang in there  -

 

 

Don't Forget the Quartzsite Rock Shows in January 2014

Everyone around here gets so excited about the Tucson Rock and Gem Shows that sometimes we forget about the Quartzsite shows - right out our back door!  I have always found lots of great rocks at the Quartzsite shows but the trick is to get there EARLY.  Parking is a pain so go early to get a good spot. 

Quartzsite is a small town, population about 2,000 people, in western Arizona.  it is about 20 miles east of the Colorado River on I-10.  Its been around over a hundred years.  In 1856, an early settler named Charles Tyson settled there after finding a source of water, he built a fort there to protect his water supply and it became known as Fort Tyson.  Fort Tyson became a popular stopover on the Ehrenburg - Prescott stagecoach route.  The area became known as Tyson's Wells.  Unfortunately, the stage stopped running and the town was abandoned.

Quartzsite started having rock and gem shows in the 1960s.  Back then people camped out, and it was wild and wooly.  Today, there are winter visitors showing up in multi-million dollar RVs and campers.  The town attracts over one million visitors every winter.  There is a veritable smorgasboard of over 2,000 vendors selling rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, jewelry, jewelry findings, and every else under the sun to create the world's largest open-air flea market and swap meet. 

This year's shows start EARLY - January 1 for one of the shows.  Like I said, get there early - before the shows open to get a good parking spot.  Drink coffee, eat doughnuts, plan your strategy while you wait.  Some of the shows open early so start a little early.

Before you go in - make a list to keep you on track -  what you need to buy, what you would like to buy, and maybe a couple of frivolous items.

Remember to bring:
List of what you need to buy
Cart for wheeling your purchases back to the car
Cash money and credit cards
Copy of Sales Tax Permit if you want to buy wholesale
Pencil and pad for remembering what you saw where and at what price
Folding stool or chair (stick in cart) - there are not always places to sit when you get tired
Hat - sometimes it is hot
Wear layers to take off if you need to
Bottle of water and high energy snacks
Fisherman's vest with lost of pockets to stash money, chap stick, water, business cards
Smart Phone or Ipad
Backpack to store those clothing layers that you took off

Selenite Healing Crystal - the Spiritual and Meditation Worker of the Mineral Kingdom

Selenite – the Spiritual and Meditation Worker

 

Selenite comes from the Greek words “selene” which means “moon,” and “lithos” which means “stone.”  It was believed to wax and wane with the moon.  Selenite is a crystallized form of Gypsum.  It is a very soft mineral and should be kept dry, never immersed in water.  If Selenite gets wet, it will dissolve.

 

 

Selenite has several metaphysical uses – it is believed to help garner protection from the angelic beings, and help connect with one’s guides or guardians.  It raises one’s Higher Self and Christ Consciousness.  It protects one from the dark influences and shields the user from negative energy.  During meditation, Selenite can help one gain access to past or future lives.  It provides a clear picture, letting one see what needs to be done to resolve a situation.  Selenite is an excellent tool to cleanse and recharge other healing crystals.  Selenite never needs to be cleansed or recharged itself. 

 

Mentally and emotionally, Selenite sooths and comforts.  It provides peace and tranquility.  Selenite can be used in a grid in the corners of a room or in a tabletop grid to promote harmony within a home and create a safe, peaceful environmental for children and family. It can also be used to strengthen the memory and aid in memory retention.

Physically, Selenite will heal and repair on the cellular level by removing energy blockages, and is often associated with the spine and skeletal system.  Selenite has been said to help those with epilepsy by decreasing seizures. It is also believed to be good for a breast feeding mother.

 

Selenite can be found in many forms – as a rough stone, a tumbled stone, made into lamps and candleholders, as a lighted cathedral, wands, carvings, and as slabs.  They are perfect to use in grids and as an accessory in a room because of their gentle, healing vibration.
