The other day a woman who works the day shift at our workplace was giving free Reflexology consultations and massages. I was excited because the truth is I had been thinking about how a massage would benefit me for a few days now. I lucked out because instead of a 15 minute session I got a 45 minute one! Surprisingly, no one who signed up had shown up for the entire hour. The woman (her name is Julie) explained how her line of work, apart from caring for our residents in our job, was Holistic Healing. I smiled when I heard this and thought to myself, finally, someone on the same page as me! Before long I was explaining to her some of my plans to become a holistic healer myself. I started telling Julie about my experiences with mediation too and the changes I have been experiencing internally from it. I said 'goodbye' to negative energy and it has kindly quieted. She told me a little bit about the map of your body that lays on the bottom of your foot. The blueprints of your steps in humanity right there. You truly carry with you all the information you need, it's just a matter in realizing that you can access it and then how to. Imagine your body as a business in it's first stages. As you grow to learn about yourself and your finest qualities you start to create blueprints. You think about how to structure your life; the hiring of good thoughts (workers) the firing of negative energy (mindless coldies) and search for a good environment to station yourself in that is the right location for growth and success. Ah! I hope your mind is opening to your abilities, friends, truly I do.
Anyway, among the mists of our tangent we came to a curious conversation. She brought up the idea of grounding yourself during meditation with the use of crystals. Now, I have heard of this before and have researched it a little bit. The truth is I have never really indulged in the idea of using crystals for any other use besides admiration because I didn't really have an opinion about them. Although they are majestic even just visually, Julie believes they have healing powers and grounding abilities. I thought about this for a few minutes before discussing my opinion with her. I thought about why people look for them, how they are formed, and what the potential of something so beautiful could really do for someone. I mean look at what we use crystals for today.
With this, Julie proposed that she would bring her copy of the book Crystals and share it with me. She encouraged that I should look through it and whatever I found I should write down. She said, "everything you see is what you need." Potentially, the entire book, but I took a more humbled approach to the idea.
Today, Julie brought me the book. This evening I got the chance to sit down and I decided I would close my eyes, clear my mind, and flip to pages. I wrote down the page number and the title of what I saw on the page. I allowed myself only to read the page I landed on. I decided I would keep doing this until I felt satisfied and not look for anymore. At the end I came to 10 different pages. The first three pages were explanation pages. The last two were picked at the same time. Anyway, here's what I got:
- Page 53 The color of the sun
- Page 113 Dark green ray
- Page 11 Light and the eyes
- Page 181 Spirit Quartz
- Page 73 Yellow tiger's eye
- Page 253 Watermelon tourmaline
- Page 125 Labradorite
- Page 159 Azurite
- Page 43 Ruby
- Page 49 Zincite
In one of many next projects I plan on; I am excited to obtain raw forms of the crystals I referred to above and share with you my experiences with each of them.
What do you think about crystals? Are you intrigued and want to at least know a little bit more about them? If so, I've attached a link for all you discoverer's out there with a thirst for some new info. Cheers! And happy trails. :)
