Greetings and Salutations All,

 

I have browsed the archives a bit, posts from the beginning of the year up to

now and have thoughts/personal preferences/experiences I would like to share.

 

Touching others crystals:

I am not opposed to folks touching and handling the crystal family that

resides with me currently.. in MOST cases. There are exceptions, however.

 

First is when someone does not respect sacred space (i.e. our meditation

room). This brings into play good old fashion manners and common courtesy of

asking before handling. The crystal family that resides with me is too vast to

*hide* crystals I prefer others not handle. Some are personal tools and others

are

dedicated healing tools.

 

Second is those who do not respect my personal space. It is one thing to ask

to see a piece of jewelry more closely. It is a totally different and rude

matter to just grab someone's pendant for a closer look. I am a woman with

cleavage and many of my pendants hang just above or in it. It is an invasion of

personal space to just outright grab someone's pendant away from their body.

Some

of my pendants I am more then willing to remove for someone to take a closer

look and others I do not want people touching (or at least certain energy

types).

 

So, the simplest and most polite way to handle and get a closer look at

anyone's crystals and jewelry is to ask.

 

Praying Mantis:

I have been blessed the past 3 or 4 growing seasons (I live in SW PA-USA)

with Praying Mantis in my garden. I have found the egg sacks the past 2 years

(Of

course I am hoping for another one this year). The messages Praying Mantis is

usually giving me are those of Stillness and Patience. A Praying Mantis sits

still on a plant waiting for it's food to come to it. It doesn't really go

hunting for it's meals. Patience also comes from sitting and waiting and

watching. I have had the little babies less then in inch long and still a dull

beige

scamper across my hand and arm when I am pruning my roses or working with the

other plants in my garden.

 

Storing Crystals:

This is from my own personal experience. When I first started working with

crystal, I found at the flea market someone's shop project of a small long curio

shelf with a glass door. The door lifted up and it had 1 shelves inside the

little tabletop piece. It made a nice little crystal display/storage case for

my then small but growing crystal family. I found it interesting when I would

open the case the temperature difference inside the case to the outside room

temperature. It the case was noticeably cooler. After a while in the case

however, the crystals began to scream at me (as I became better and more attuned

to

listening/hearing them). What they were screaming was please take the door

off, we are suffocating in here. So that is what I did, I took the door off.

While I do have some crystal in a large curio cabinet now (some of the more

delicate pieces such as needle selenite and halite crystals) they are again

talking

to me about needing a change of scenery and wanting their turn in the

meditation room. SO, that will be a day on a weekend taking care of that

migration ...

LOL I do not want or need cranky crystals in the house!!

 

Music and Crystals:

I love playing music for the crystal family. There have even been times where

they have *requested* certain pieces be played for the NOW please!! I love it

when I am sitting in the house and things are quiet (possibly too quiet to

the crystals way of thinking) and I start hearing music coming from the

meditation room. The crystals have decided to *sing* and *hum*. It is quite

lovely.

 

Blessings to your work weeks.
