Practice Experiment NO.1 Explore

[Guest guest]

Along with the information in structured lessons and things like lists

of crystal properties and legends There will be some exploratory

exercises for you to do and share your results with the group if you

wish You don't have to do it but we will refer back to parts of this

one later .

Here are a couple to help us get warmed up

 

1. Find the rock, stone or crystal you have that attracts you most at

the moment and look at it use all of your senses to explore it (except

taste some stones are poisonous) and write about it and what you

experience with it , what attracts you to it now.

2. Just off hand from what you know right now what stone would you keep

if you could only have one?

 

3. Go outside or somewhere where there are rocks, stones ,pebbles and

find one just a plain ordinary wild rock in the street that attracts

you in some way

and study it look and meditate on it and describe it tell us what you

think about it. Do you get any sense of what it could be used for ?

where its been ?

 

Have fun with these there are not any wrong answers

Aw maaaan, just one? ^_~ The " big three " I tend to be consistently

attracted to are amethyst, amber, and peridot. Although I'm also very

fond of my big rose and smoky quartzes. In fact, if I could only have

one *specific* stone, it would probably be my smoky quartz.

 

The other two questions remind me of one of the exercises I had to do

in my FOI training. It had to be an ordinary rock--no cool crystals,

some random rock from outside. Mine was mostly dark with a light spot

(interesting, given that this was also a " signal " I had set up with

one of my guides at the time) and very...buzzy. In fact it showed

itself to me on astral as a really big fly. Very odd, not what I

expected from a rock. LOL. I still have him in my mojo bag.

 

They do have personalities if you check in deeply, that's the

interesting thing. Pieces of the same kind of stone are similar but

not identical.

 

As for book suggestions, the only ones I have that you haven't

suggested are one by Maya Heath, which I haven't gotten a chance to

read yet (it's huge though), and one by Dolphyn. I like Dolphyn in

that she encourages you to actually work and cooperate with the spirit

of the stone rather than using it blindly as a tool.

 

I like Diane Stein's book because it covers so many stones, but OTOH I

seem to remember that once she described the physical appearance of a

stone *very* differently from what I knew it to be myself, and that

has shaken my confidence in her identifications. It's also hard to

tell from her very brief descriptions (in Healing w/Gemstones) which

of the many reddish agates one might be holding, for example. What's

a good source for identifying your stones if you're not sure about

them?
