Trying It On

Akashic Record Reading

January 23, 2009

cosmos1Several months ago, I had an Akashic Record Reading. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and when I was given an exercise to repeat for 21 days, I sorta fizzled out and quit. The reading was very informative, but the oral exercise was a little out of my comfort zone. I had no problems performing it during the week when I was alone at home. Reciting it during the weekends was a different story though. I felt a little uncomfortable knowing I might be overheard by my family.

Now that I’m trying on different ideas, I revisited my 21 day homework assignment and I’ve decided to give it another try. I’m still not sure what to expect, but it couldn’t hurt to try something that could make my life better, right? I figure I just need to get over my insecurities about being overheard. My family is loving and supportive. Why should I feel uncomfortable?

Gemstone Cleansing

January 21, 2009

gems2 My stones arrived today. I got hematite, malachite, rose quartz, crystal quartz, pyrite, tiger eye, jade, rainbow moonstone, and citrine. As far as I can tell, there aren’t stones which are incompatible. They’ve all come from the Earth, so it makes sense to me that they’d all get along well enough to be near each other.

There seem to be many different ideas about which cleansing method works best, but as you can probably tell from the photo I’ve chosen to place them atop a bed of soil to cleanse them. It was the method that felt most right to me. I haven’t yet learned to sense the energies of the stones, so I’m not sure how to tell when they’ve been cleansed fully. Since I’m eager to work with them, I’ll probably just leave them overnight and see what happens.

I’ve also chosen some stones for my boys. They’ve always been fascinated with gems and minerals too, so I thought it might be fun for them to learn about some of the metaphysical properties of different stones. They couldn’t quite understand the concept of cleaning the stones with dirt, but they’re willing to stay open minded.

Gemstones

January 20, 2009

gemsI was recently introduced to the concept of trying on different ideas in regards to my spirituality. This way of thinking appeals to me. I’m unsure what I believe about certain aspects of religion, so the idea of trying out different beliefs to see how they fit really seems like it could work for me.

One such idea is that of healing through the use of gems and minerals. I’ve always been fascinated with interesting rocks. (Though who hasn’t?) And I think part of me has always believed or at least wanted to believe rocks are magickal. I ordered a few different tumbled stones online so I could try on this idea. They should arrive in the next couple of days. I’m trying to be patient.
