A Spiritual Crystal Event

This past month I was fortunate to make a lovely Spiritual Journey with friends.

Our original plan was just to attend the James Tyberonn 9-9-9 event for Earth-Keeper Crystal Awakening and then to visit Sedona, Arizona.  Later we added a visit to the Hopi Lands in Northern Arizona and a few other special places.  http://www.earth-keeper.com/

What a delight to gather with 300 like-minded individuals at Mt. Magazine State Park, located up in the mountains a few hours from Little Rock.  The view is magnificent and the energy is very high.  The place is a great setting for a spiritual gathering since the Emerald Crystal of healing was activating right beneath us.  Yes, this qualifies for being called an energy vortex area.

My friends and I stayed at Hazel’s Cabins, 8 miles down from the Park.  (Tammie has delightful rooms there with all amenities.)  These cabins were so nice they defied the name “cabins.”  They really were a great get-away. Each day on our drive up the mountain we could feel the increase in the energy.  http://www.arkansas.com/attractions/attr_detail/id/93004/t/l/r/River+Valley/city/Paris

On the actual day, 9-9-09,  of the Crystal Activation Ceremony, all 300 participants gathered on the lawn  to experience the activation and anchoring of the Emerald Crystal.  The energy was so great that it was felt as far away as Little Rock.

Someone overheard, a couple in the hallways mentioning that they had felt a very powerful energy in Little Rock  On their drive to Mt. Magazine they stopped for gas and were amazed to hear people commenting that they had felt an energy shift for the the better.

The evening after the activation the weather man reported that it was raining on Mt. Magazine and that the entire mountain was “covered in a green haze.”  Do you think maybe it was green from the Emerald Crystal?!

The Emerald Crystal is said to assist with balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain, to assist healers to become better healers, and to aid wisdom seekers to gain greater insight.  The Emerald Crystal makes it easier to understand your soul path and the priorities in your life.  What we refer to as “Unconditional Love” will be closer to reality for all those on a spiritual path.

We enjoyed many speakers and musicians who shared their time with us on Mt. Magazine.  Fred Mitchim shared his calm meditation music of flute and percussion instruments with us.     It was a very soothing and meditative way to start each session.   http://www.fredmitchim.com/

Auralia and Al Taylor delighted us with their Crystal Bowl Toning.  (There is one crystal bowl note for each of the chakras and played in multiples they have a powerful effect) http://www.thecreativelivingcenter.com/teachersassociates.html

Joshua Shapiro, known as the Crystal Skull Explorer, spoke on the mystery of the crystal skulls and how to work with them.  As many of you know, I have had experiences with crystal skulls in the past when I spent time with “Max,” cared for by Joann Parks and later in Mexico with “Mash,” cared for by Kayoon.     http://www.crystalskullexplorers.com/

I had been guided to take my charged skulls with me on this trip, so I was able to share their energies with many of the attendees who had stone skulls.  In addition, I had the rare opportunity to place my skulls with those of Joshua to receive additional energy charging.  NOTE:  My stone skulls often lend their energy for your healing sessions.

We were fortunate to have two Hopi tribal members with us to share information about the Hopi culture and to perform a Water Blessing Ceremony in full tribal regalia. Ruben Saufkie, a Hopi of the Water Clan, organizes a H2opi Run from N. Arizona to Mexico to raise awareness of our Mother Earth and the water she has given us.

Bwaun Equa, a Native American elder and grandmother, spoke about achieving personal power in the divine feminine. http://www.bwaunequa.com/  Nina Brown shared information about her work recoding the crystalline DNA.

I have saved the best things for last.  Jim Self shared tools for a spirited life.  I was very impressed with his presentations and his down-to-earth approaches for grounding, clearing your energy field and others techniques.

I am currently working my way through Jim Self’s Mastering Alchemy introduction class CDs  for “Creating the Personal Power Field.”  I look forward to sharing some of his information when you come for your next healing session.  http://www.masteringalchemy.com/

I thoroughly enjoyed spending a few hours at the Ron Coleman Crystal Mines in Hot Springs, AR.
If you can imagine we had about 75 people digging in piles of dirt/mud to find quartz crystals.

Actually I didn’t need to do much digging.  Since there had rained very hard that morning, many of the crystals were just sitting on top of the dirt sparkling in the sunlight seeming to say,  “Take me home.”  It was exciting, nonetheless, to pick them up and be able to take home all I could carry for a $10 dig fee.

I did have to mail them home, since I managed to gather more than 10 pounds of crystals!  Thank you USPS for the one price for whatever you can put in the box.

About 60 people took an additional side trip to the Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park in AR.
The site covers 100 acres with the 2 tallest mounds 49 feet and 39 feet high.  The energy just inside the   entrance was so strong that it felt dizzying.  www.ArkansasStateParks.com

Now, we found the best way to end a day was at the Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa.  There several of us decided to go for “The Works” which for $60 included a thermal mineral bath, sauna, wrap in hot towels and then a 20 minute massage.  I wouldn’t mind if they were right next door so I could indulge often.

I seem to have rambled on quite a bit, so I will save my discussion of Sedona and the Hopi lands for another newsletter.  That part of the trip was equally delightful.

What you surround yourself with, even what you have stored away, has an impact on you at the energetic level.  Some of the things you surround yourself with are Baggage, some are History, and some are Diamonds.  These terms reflect the relative impact the objects have on your happiness and peace of mind.

Baggage represents items that have negative energy or negative memories attached to them.  History items have neutral energy and are often items that are functional and that you picked up to fulfill a need.  Diamonds are objects that awe or inspire you by their beauty or just bring a smile and/or a happy memory.

Let’s start with the most energetically neutral items – the ones I call History.  These are the functional items that you acquired to fill a need as you go through your life.  You needed a dresser or a book case so you bought one.  It may not be the exact style you would have liked at the time but you can always replace it later with something that suits you.

On the other hand, Baggage items trigger negative memories or have some sort of emotional strings attached.  They may have great monetary value or they may be junk.

Maybe you inherited it from Aunt Harriet but you don’t like it.  You may hold onto it out of a sense of obligation or just because you feel it is too valuable to part with.

Maybe your ex-mother-in-law gave something to you, and it brings up negative thoughts of your ex-husband.  The more you revisit the negative in your life, the deeper the pathway is created in the brain until it becomes a trench that is hard to move your thoughts out of.

In addition, negative or down thoughts often lead you to subconsciously seek out things that make you feel better like eating sweets. Do you really want to revisit those negative thoughts?

Maybe you have an unfinished project that you just can’t get yourself to complete.   You need to make a decision to complete it or to let it go.  The knowledge that the project is perhaps even buried away in a closet impacts your sense of worth and happiness.

Let’s look at the Diamonds around you.  These are the items that radiate positive energy. When you see them, they thrill your heart with their beauty or craftsmanship.  They bring a smile or a happy memory.  They just feel right to have around, because they reflect your wants, needs, desires, and happy times.

We have a tradition in my house of purchasing an ornament for each family member that reflects something in their life from the past year. In this way the chore of decorating the Christmas tree becomes a pleasure as each ornament reflects a happy part of life.  The tree then becomes a joy to behold and radiates positive energy.

What I want to encourage you to do today and from now on is to remove the Baggage, the negative energy items in your surroundings and increase the Diamonds, the positive energy items.  You can donate the Baggage item, sell it or give it away secure in the knowledge that you are increasing the amount of positive energy in your life.

If you wish to bring more joy into your life and have your surroundings reflect the Source within you, then you deserve to be surrounded with more Diamonds and NO Baggage.  Spend time only with items that make you think about how wonderful each moment is.

When I began to study energy healing I was amazed to find out that there was a connection between misalignment in the spine and problems with the organs and glands in the body.  Even more fascinating was the variety of emotional issues that are stored away in the spine and in the organs and glands.  Clearing the emotional baggage and realigning the musculoskeletal system leads to a healthier you.

In the age-old question of “which came first, the chicken or the egg?”  Most people realize the connection that exists between the chicken and the egg.  However, in the case of the body, many don’t know the connection between:

· misalignment issues and the emotions.

· the vertebrae and organs and glands;

· the vertebrae and/or sacrum with knee problems..

For example, most people with knee problems may not only have a knee joint out of alignment, but can also have problems with their lumbar vertebrae (roughly waist height and below) and, their sacral area can be locked up. This could be related to problems with the intestines, colon, bladder and genitals.

Examining the cervical vertebrae (in the neck), we may find people who are misaligned can have problems with the head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands and fingers.  If this area is out of alignment, then there may be problems with the ears, eyes, sinus, throat, or thyroid.

A chiropractor will tell you that a body that is in proper alignment is healthier and has greater self-healing abilities. He/she would tell you that in the question of misalignment or disease, the misalignment came first.  In addition, he/she would say that misalignment interferes with the nervous system and is a primary underlying risk factor for almost any disease.

I agree, and would add that if there is a painful area in the body, then you are getting a message that something may be wrong mentally, emotionally and/or physically.

Perhaps some of you have heard the expression:  “The issue is in the tissue.”  Simply put, you may be holding emotional issues in your body.  With a musculoskeletal adjustment or realignment, some emotional issues may be released. With energy healing combined with Energy Alignment, a deeper release of the emotional issues is possible.

I have not found that every person with problems in a certain area has a specific emotional issue.  Nonetheless, I know that we do pile up emotional issues in our bodies.   Individuals possess a unique ability to store their emotional baggage in the location that has the most meaning for them.  Clearing out the baggage often eliminates future problems.

In healing we have another expression,  “As Above, So Below.”  What that means is that if there is a problem in either below or above the opposite area will have a problem as the body tries to overcompensate for the misalignment.   Thus you can have two areas of the body with problems.

There are many more connections between misalignment and other areas in the body and organs and glands.  If you want to assure that your body is healthier and capable of self-healing then having a regular Energy Alignment session would be of great benefit for you.  Only with Energy Alignment is the emotional base cleared along with a musculoskeletal adjustment.

Energy Alignment can be performed separately OR as part of an Intuitive Energy Healing Session.  The nice thing is that you do not need to leave your home to experience a session.  Since most of the Energy Alignment is done hands free, you don’t need a

hands-on session and can achieve the same results with a distance healing session.

Remember that your pets can be out of alignment too and they are unable to tell you of their pains.  Schedule regular sessions for an Energy Alignment for your pets too and you just may find that they have a greater range of motion as they age.
