CRYSTALS: Selenite Wand

QUESTION: I have a seven inch selenite rod with 7 small chakra stones attached.

How would you recommend I use it?

Thank you for your help.

ANSWER: Hi, thank you for writing to us. Selenite is a great crystal for sealing the aura. We always want to make sur ethat our auras are sealed so that there are no energy leaks. When there are holes in our aura, we will feel fatigue, lethargy and a general sense of deflation. Holes also make us susceptible for negative entities from entering our personal space. With the addition of chakra crystals, you can also use this wand to strengthen the chakras. Scan the whole wand over the person you are working on with the intention of sealing their aura and recharging their chakras. If you are using it on yourself, I would recommend holding it, meditating and visualizing the same intent.

Make sure to keep your wand out of water, as Selenite will dissolve. If you have any additional questions, feel free to email us!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 10

Abundance radiates as i hold my long aventurine aura wand, programmed for financial abundance. I focus on all 7 main chakras as they relate to this exercise:

crown: connecting with universal abundance

mental: connecting with all the good, creative ideas out there to enhance abundance and implementing them

throat: communicating what i want from this life

heart: connecting to the divine source of love for what i do

solar: connecting to those around me to aid me in my endeavors

sacral: connecting to a passion for what i do

root: giving me the grounding physical energy to operate on earth.

for more fun, join us on our social networking group: satincrystals

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 8

A day of money moths! Today I decided to lie on my bed with two green tumbled Malachite crystals in my hands. I went through the 7 chakra chant of "every day in every way I am becoming rich and richer". Then, I affirmed all of the things in my life that I am grateful for. I do this often just to lift the spirits, and I usually focus on the small things that made my day so great and then move on to a wider appreciation of wealth in my life.

I then started to internally affirm "my money multiplies" and "I retain wealth". With the first affirmation I felt the energy of the crystal in my left hand flicker like a moth. With the second affirmation, I felt the energy of the crystal in my right hand solid as a rock. The second time, I felt like there were two moths flickering upward, but the right hand energy remained solid. It was a nice sensation, so I kept going. Before long, it was as though a rainbow of "money moths" were energetically flying over my aura...

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 5

I took a lazy-day yesterday, but I did stick with the money multiplying practice! This time I used my Aventurine Wand and a natural raw Quartz point because I needed a boost in my aura. Quartz is a great crystal to use when you want to strengthen your aura energy. Imagine a ball of energy surrounding and mimicking your physical body. You want this energy to be strong and powerful so that your physical energies remain balanced. Quartz is great for lazy days!

More on Aura energies: http://www.idigcrystals.com/aura.htm

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 4

As you pass through the 7 chakras with your positive affirmation "every day in every way i am becoming rich and richer," remember to visualize or feel your chakra energy flowing freely like a well-oiled wheel. Essentially your chakras are energy vortexes flowing in through the front of your body and out the back. We want to make sure they are open and flowing freely!

Even if you think you are imagining whatever you are feeling during crystal healing, go with it! This is how you will come to develop and trust in your own intuition (instincts).

For all of you who celebrate july 4th, an abundant independence to you!

Happy People Interview: Jeanne Tracey

Jeanne Tracey
Occupation: Textile Artist
Location: Kansas City, MO USA

Five things that make you the happiest:
1. Sweet Hugs from Keith and kisses from my dog Annie
2. Working in my studio alone, with music and candles
3. Swimming every single day, does so much for the body and spirit
4. Entertaining friend and family, there is nothing like sharing your table with others
5. Waking up in the morning, drinking hot tea and looking at the trees, sky, birds

What are your views on energy healing? I am rather new to this, however I strongly believe that energy healing truly works. I can feel fabulous changes in my body and my mind when holding and meditating with whatever crystal I happen to pick up for meditation and prayer.

Also, I purchased a set of healing crystals (actually two) one for me and one for The Tao Academy in Kansas City, KS. Many of their clients always ask for the crystal room, as this particular set relaxes them, very often during treatment, whether it be massage or accupuncture, their clients become so relaxed they are able to fall into a gentle sleep during treatments.

How do you call abundance into your life? I thank God every single day and throughout the day for what I have

What is your favorite crystal? Rose Quartz

What is one crystal or energy healing experience you would like to share with the world? Oh, yes, this has to do with the rare turquoise heart crystal. As told to Lisa and Sheila Satin, whenever I receive a new shipment of crystals, I invite my friend Randy over. Randy is in treatment for Cancer, also doing alternative treatments at the Tao Academy. Randy is a long time friend and intuitive. After a good lunch, we head up to my meditation room and I invite Randy to choose crystals that he is attracted too...He picked up the Rare turquoise heart (from India) right off the bat. He keeps it with him. When I pulled the [metaphysical] property sheet, it was "spot on" for assisting his body/mind/heart energy in his quest for healing. (Yes, I ordered another for me)

How do you define success? Shaking off the conventional world and doing the work that you LOVE. I believe each and everyone one of us has something to contribute to the world to bring happiness, joy and greatfulness into the world. Each of us are gifted in one way or another...Success is finding your gift and sharing it with the world, whatever that may be.

Three things that you would like to manifest in your life right now:
1. More time to work in my studio. I have recently 'inherited' an entire family, which takes lots of time to nurture.
2. Working larger silks
3. Learning how to slow down, enjoying life, my family, friends, neighbors

What types of people do you want to attract into your life (this is so those who like your interview can contact you if they fit your description)? Those who either want to or already have taken the leap, trusting the Universe to support living their life, doing what they LOVE the most.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 2

Today I felt compelled to close my eyes as the wand worked on each of my chakras. I became mesmerized that I could "see" the movement of the crystals in my hand although my eyes were closed...

After going over each chakra, I sat with the Bloodstone egg and Moss Agate Ball in my hands and concentrated on abundance. I imagined myself surrounded by 100 dollar bills, splashing around in a pool of money. Then I imagined my family doing the same, my best friends, my acquaintances, strangers and finally the whole world. But when it was the world's turn to revel in this financial joy, the dollars slowly disappeared and the world rejoiced in abundance.

Neuroscientist's Nirvana

Although it was a "forward," I actually watched all 20 minutes of this video because my mom sent it to me, and she doesn't usually "forward" things.

video:http://www.BelieveAndManifest.com/1/bam/video1.php

This video is about a neuroscientist who finds nirvana during a stroke and wants to share her inspiring story with the rest of us. This brain surgeon is an engaging speaker and it was quite easy for me to visualize my own right and left lobes when she pulled out a gooey human brain as demo...

What is your favorite crystal? My Beloved Aura Wand from Satin Crystals!!!

What is one crystal or energy healing experience you would like to share with the world? I was taking Sunny Satin's Spiritual Hypnotherapy Class, and Ann was there with her crystals. I kept being drawn to this huge, beautiful Aura wand, clear crystal with garnets and silver. At each break I would wander over to it, just looking, not daring to touch because I believed it was far to costly for me at that time. Near the end of the class, at the last break, I just had to pick it up. I knew my time to just feel it, to touch it, may be drawing to a close. So I reached out and gently picked up this lovely piece... and the whole world went into brilliant white light!! All I remember is looking toward Sunny, and I saw his smiling face, then looking at Ann, also smiling...and said "I think I have to have this, can you take payments?" Sunny looked as if he might have burst out laughing and said "Yes, it's yours". When I brought it home, I was so awed by the piece that I was afraid to touch it. One evening I had some friends over, and showed the wand, one of them said, "Well, pass it over to me"... and as I did, I heard the most beautiful singing voice say "I am of the Angelic Realm of the Dominions, and I am here to bring healing to all, through you, and through all who recieve us". To this day, the most profound and miraculous healings have been given to everyone I have done healing work on with that wand. She is my friend, my Angel, and my guide. Thank you, Sunny, Thank you, Ann for your love and generosity!

How do you define success? Inner Peace, Endless Joy and Limitless Prosperity for all!!

Happy People Interview: Tina Lam

Tina Lam
Occupation: Radiologist
Location: Hong Kong

Five things that make you the happiest:
1. To be alive and able to work
2. Enjoy the company of my family
3. Reading a good book
4. Go to my favorite beach, swim or collect sea glass
5. Discover and visit new places

What are your views on energy healing?
I believe our destiny depends on what we think of it. Self fulfilling prophecy works both way. I believe thinking positively and filling oneself with positive energy will drive away bad luck and attract good fortune. I believe no one are born to be malicious or bad. They might just had bad experiences and coping negatively. Life itself is not perfect, but we could make it better by lingering on the good times and leaving the worse behind. Always look forward to the present and ahead, because that is where reality is. I believe the purpose of bad experiences is not to make us suffer.

That is what I realized while collecting sea glass. A sharp piece of broken glass is shaped by the gentle and persistent forces of nature into a rounded frosted gem. Everyone come into the world as a sharp glass shard, shaped by our unique experiences into gems. If only we are polished, we would not be who we are today. Nobody guaranteed that the process of polishing would not be painless!

How do you call abundance into your life? I would remind myself to take life's problems one at a time. I would try to give and share my good fortune with the needy. I would pray for my love ones. However busy I might be, I would set aside some time for myself everyday. 10 mins or 30 mins, I would read a book, go over old photographs, or draw a picture. To calm down from the rat-race and remember who I am!

What is your favorite crystal? Amethyst. It's pleasant [purple] color calms me.

What is one crystal or energy healing experience you would like to share with the world? Well, I do feel clearer in mind if I'm wearing Amethyst. But if you count sea glass or sea shells, I do have one very unique experience. 8 years ago in July, when my youngest daughter is just a baby, my supervisor asked me to attend 2 months fellowship training in a hospital in San Francisco, far far away from my home in Hong Kong. I missed my family very much and had a hidden fear that something might happen to me that I might never see them anymore. One day, loving the beach and ocean as I am, I went to the Ocean Beach looking for sea glass and shells. I saw broken sand dollars all over the shore. Since we never had any sand dollars in Hong Kong, I wanted to bring one home to show my kids. I looked and looked but I could not find one that was not broken. Since it was getting dark, I decided to leave. But my legs carried me towards a sandy bluff instead of the road. I huffed and puffed to the top of the sandy bluff and there, half burried in the sand, was a whole sand dollar.

I thanked God because through this experience, He said to me: 'Do not fear, I am watching over you all the time. I know what you are looking for and I will give it to you.'

How do you define success? Success is being able to contribute to society. Ever little gesture counts.

Three things that you would like to manifest in your life right now:
1. To inspire people around me to think positively.
2. To care for my patients and comfort them not just as a doctor, but as one who has survived cancer
3. To share my passion and philosophy inspired by sea glass through my website and etsy store

What types of people do you want to attract into your life (this is so those who like your interview can contact you if they fit your description)? Anyone who appreciate my attitude and is inspired. Anyone who would like to share their thoughts of fighting cancer or of supernatural encounters.
