Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi all, sorry, I can't find, who wrote about maybe getting edgy with too many crystals, when you're first starting... About 4 yrs ago, I seemed to go into a craze,,,like I was being pulled into the crystal shops, rock hound shops,,,anything metaphysical shops, and I'd come home with 4 or 5 crystals, or tumbled stones, carefully named, I started with a tray,,,and I'd line them up, alphabetically,,,,look up their properties, (which always surprised me, because every different stone/crystal I brought home, just so happened to have something to do with what I needed to work on... well the tray overloaded, and they spread out over my coffee table, (I think my dog ate one of my desert roses, cuz it disappeared)...dogs ok.. anyway, one day, I decided I better move them to another place, they took up the whole coffee table, which was good, I'd sit there and look at them,,,just blend with them,,,study them...these big sighs of relief would well through me just by being beside them......then I moved them.. during the next week, I started to get agitated,,,felt grumpy,,,just not feeling good, and wondered what had I done,,,had I picked up some negative energy???? well it dawned on my, my crystals aren't close to me,,,,so I started bringing some of my real favourites back to the table,,,and sure enough, my rough feelings smoothed out,,,,I felt good again... When going to town or to work, I'd look over the collection carefully, and feel the pull to whichever ones wanted to come with me that day.. I too had pocketfulls of stones,,I would always separate any crystals with points though, and put them in their separate little velvet bags, tumbles stones are ok together, but the crystals need a little bit of special care I think...black obsidian arrow heads, very sharp... I personally use Melody's books, plus the Crystal Bible,,,and I think I have a few others, but those ones are my main reference books... It's identification I have problems with,,,and I have been sold a stone or crystal, that turned out not to be what they said it was.... everybody's human after all... I think reading everything you can get your eyeballs on is vital,,,there's lots of crystal sites with good information to share, but like I said in the beginning, the Files section here is " excellent " Thank you.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just a thought that I wanted to share after reading this post: The velvet bags are nice, and I have bought one for my Teacher, but He gave me ONE, it was a bag made of 100% cotton fabric and 100% cotton thread that He had sewn Himself. My few special stones mingle with each other in that special ALL Natural bag. *winks* si`la , " Lynn " <tranquilitybasehealer wrote: > > Hi all, sorry, I can't find, who wrote about maybe getting edgy with > too many crystals, when you're first starting... > > About 4 yrs ago, I seemed to go into a craze,,,like I was being pulled > into the crystal shops, rock hound shops,,,anything metaphysical > shops, and I'd come home with 4 or 5 crystals, or tumbled stones, > carefully named, I started with a tray,,,and I'd line them up, > alphabetically,,,,look up their properties, (which always surprised me, > because every different stone/crystal I brought home, just so happened > to have something to do with what I needed to work on... > > well the tray overloaded, and they spread out over my coffee table, (I > think my dog ate one of my desert roses, cuz it disappeared)...dogs ok.. > > anyway, one day, I decided I better move them to another place, they > took up the whole coffee table, which was good, I'd sit there and look > at them,,,just blend with them,,,study them...these big sighs of relief > would well through me just by being beside them......then I moved them.. > > during the next week, I started to get agitated,,,felt grumpy,,,just > not feeling good, and wondered what had I done,,,had I picked up some > negative energy???? > > well it dawned on my, my crystals aren't close to me,,,,so I started > bringing some of my real favourites back to the table,,,and sure > enough, my rough feelings smoothed out,,,,I felt good again... > > When going to town or to work, I'd look over the collection carefully, > and feel the pull to whichever ones wanted to come with me that day.. > I too had pocketfulls of stones,,I would always separate any crystals > with points though, and put them in their separate little velvet bags, > tumbles stones are ok together, but the crystals need a little bit of > special care I think...black obsidian arrow heads, very sharp... > > I personally use Melody's books, plus the Crystal Bible,,,and I think I > have a few others, but those ones are my main reference books... > > It's identification I have problems with,,,and I have been sold a stone > or crystal, that turned out not to be what they said it was.... > everybody's human after all... > > I think reading everything you can get your eyeballs on is > vital,,,there's lots of crystal sites with good information to share, > but like I said in the beginning, the Files section here is " excellent " > > Thank you. > Lynn/TBH > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Lynn, I had overloaded on crystal energy... I was relying on them too much and got all out of whack. I have a big collection and had what would fit into a curio in the livingroom. (They were not happy closed up in there.) I had them everywhere. I moved them all in a circle in a room upstairs (in spectrum order) and now visit only once or twice a week. I feel much better and a lot more centered. Now I have only a few choice pieces around the living areas of my home, a few in my purse, and a black obsidian in my car. I was thinking maybe it was time to cleanse and recharge and change them around. I only wear them a couple days a week. At work I keep a bowl of rock chips with a big quartz point and take a hand dip... feels wonderful. I noticed that sometimes the chips hang on when I'm stressed and only one or two hang on when I'm not. One of my co-workers comes in when she's having a bad day and let's her hands take a dip... if you haven't tried it I recommend it. A deep bowl works best so you can cover your entire hand. I need to check out Melody's books that keeps getting referenced! I find that not all vendors know what they are selling. It's best to study as much as you can. I like the fact that the Crystal Bible is small enough to take with you when you shop and I always keep a book at my pc when I'm hitting up ebay. I won a beauty mezolite spray that I keep in a wooden pair of hands and a nice chunck of blue celestite and a decent size of diaptase all reasonably priced. I had to wait for that reasonable price, but they are my beauties. I always feel the stones you have are the ones you are supposed to have. I've picked up stones knowing full well they weren't for me. My sister and I went to Vegas a couple years ago and in a Luxor shop they had these beauty natural gemstone necklaces. I wanted a hundred of them, but this one amethyst in particular had to come home with me... I didn't want it. My sister noticed me standing there staring at it and asked if everything was ok. I said I have to buy this, but I don't want it. We purchased quite a few rocks during our stay out there and while going through them when we got home our Mom walks in the room and says you know I need to get an amethyst necklace. My sister and I looked at each other and started laughing. I said I think I can help you with that. That has also happened with other stones. But, I love the feeling I get when I come home with new ones that I know are for ME! Happy New Year everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi Shelley, and thanks for the welcome.. I found it strange that I got out of whack, when I put them away from me....geez, ha ha, guess I needed alot of help... well, it's beyond that now,,,,there's too many, so I change them around in different groupings too,,,bedside, I was in the same store at the Luxor, and I came home with a pink obleisk,,,and a grey striped pyramd,,,,sort of looked like the hotel with the levels....I keep those in the Grandfather clock.... that was so great that you followed up with your intuition, and took the amethyst home....just perfect for your mom... Summer of 2006, we had a mtn that had one end literally blown off of it, in sections mind you, but Herkimer Diamonds were discovered up there...several groups went up and individually,,,lots of rock hunters,,,,alot of the herks were shattered from the blast, and I'd feel so sorry for them,,,,I'd just say, that's ok, you can come home with me,,,they're all together,,,,healing.... I do have some really special ones though,,,,,of course,,,,their all special.....and a beautiful gentle energy.... You had to dig them out of the quartz/clay seams in the shale,,,pick, shovel, small tools,,,,but really awesome when you come across them, and we did, many, many, times.... I'll have to look up mezolite and see what it's like...I like to carry the crystal bible with me too,,,compact, and pretty good... Your bowl dip sounds great too, don't forget to give them a water rinse off, every so often....or take them home on a weekend and given them a smudging....I'm sure I have enough to try it with my tumbled stones... thanks for the idea,,, blessings, Lynn/tbh , Shelley <talkingfeather2006 wrote: > > Hi Lynn, > > I had overloaded on crystal energy...
