EVENT: OMG

Hi Everyone, thanks to those who joined us last Monday for the Tigers Eye crystal meditations. We did our grounding meditation to connect with physical energy and to this present reality. Then, we did our crystal meditation, imagining that we were inside our stones. This is all for relaxation, focus and enjoying the present moment.

Next Monday we are adding on MALACHITE crystals. This is a deep green, banded crystal which is popularly used to release emotional traumas of the heart. The Heart and relationship is something that most all of us are in desperate need of strengthening.

If you do not have your own stones, I will provide them for yo to use free in the session. Additionally, if you like any crystals that we use in our sessions, you are welcome to purchase them from us at a student discount. We are also all contributing our loose change to a donation box that we will decide what to do with at the end of the year!

RSVP if you are coming this Monday 6:30 sharp to 7pm.

I will go over the properties of Tigers Eye again and explain Malachite. If you have anything to add, you are most welcome.

We will be doing a grounding exercise standing up and then we will be doing a layout, so please bring yoga mats or something for you to LIE DOWN on!

You do not need to know anything about crystals to join us. Just be open minded and ready to enter a world of imagination and relaxation. Friends welcome.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 32

Two bright green Malachite tumbled stones in my collection jumped out at me this morning, so I quickly charged them up on my Quartz cluster for the Money Multiplier Practice. There's just something undeniably abundant about Malachite...

HEALTH MULTIPLIER:Week1

For those of you following the Health Multiplier practice with me, this is now Day #2, and I'll check in once in a while to give you an update. As you know from the Money Multiplier practice, it's all up to intuition, whatever you feel like doing that day, go with the flow. Yesterday I did 21 crunches reciting the affirmation "I am healthy, I am fit" holding my programmed Labradorite crystal. Today I did leg lefts, 21 lifts on each leg, reciting the affirmation "My leg is fit". Recite whatever affirmation makes sense to you and do it 21 times to allow the message to absorb into your aura!

CRYSTALS: Tooth Pain

QUESTION: Hi Sheila,Can you suggest me crystals to reduce pain from tooth decay? Thank you for your help! :)

ANSWER: Hi, I would definitely use Aquamarine. I used this crystal actually when i was in India doing the hypnotherapy courses and had a severe tooth aches for several days due to wisdom teeth growing in. It helped me greatly. I would just press the Aquamarine slab crystal on the area of the pain (over my mouth) or I made gem elixirs to drink it. In your case, gem elixirs and also wearing the crystal in this area would be helpful.

To make a gem elixir, clean, charge and program your crystal for what you want it to do. Then, leave the crystal in the water for a few hours either in the sunlight or moonlight. Remove the crystal and drink the water, remembering what you programmed it for.

Additionally, you can use the same crystal and place it under your pillow when sleeping at night.

Let me know how it goes and if you need some more advice! This was a great pain saver during my tooth problems, but there are also other crystals people use if it turns out that Aquamarine is not for you!

Your friend,

Sheila :)

HEALTH MULTIPLIER: Set-up

After breaking my negative thought patterns with money through the "money multiplier" practice, I have decided to purse the "health multiplier". I will begin this practice for 30 days starting September 1. If you would like to join me, make sure to have your Labradorite and Red Jasper crystals cleaned, programmed and charged. If you want to do it on your own, here are the basic guidelines: Health Multiplier Practice

CRYSTALS: Sore Throat

I have had this annoying cough all week. And as things go, sometimes I don't actively pursue a healing regimen, figuring my body will take care of curing itself and being generally distracted by other pursuits.

Finally, last night, my throat became sore, so I picked up and programmed a raw Quartz point to heal my sore throat. I held the faceted point towards my throat and allowed the energy of the Master Healer crystal to do its work.

Quartz is a great crystal in correcting the source of misalignment in our auras. I could actually feel a rush of energy flowing from the crystal to my throat. I may have imagined it, but this is where you must always start, TRUST in what you're feeling.

After five minutes of holding this crystal in place, I put it back down, not expecting to feel anything. Gradually a warm, tingly sensation developed and swirled in my throat. I felt like I had just taken a cough drop, the way the chemeicals feels when they are curing a sore throat. I was mildly amazed of the similarity of Quartz to a Cough Drop.

This sensation lasted a good few minutes, and I knew that I was on the road to returning to a perfectly balanced Throat Chakra.

CRYSTALS: Abundance All-encompassing

QUESTION: Sheila, I thank you so very much for your reply. Just like what I previously mentioned, I have a citrine wand and an aventurine merkaba. First, is it okay to use a citrine wand when reciting my affirmation? Also, according to some descriptions that came with the stones, a merkaba is supposed to be a "powerful one." Not quite sure what it means. Can I use a merkaba to do my affirmations in the mornings or do I have to have a pyramid one? Can I also use a citrine cluster for my affirmation?Thank you very much for everything.

ANSWER:
Thank you for your questions. It is okay to use any crystal you are comfortable with.

Everything that I do and everything that you read in crystal healing books are only a guideline. You should take what you like from these guides and make them your own. In the end, it is you who has to feel right with the crystals and shapes you choose.

As mentioned in my money multiplier practice, every week I did use different types of crystals; whatever was available, whatever invoked my fancy and whatever felt right for the activity I was pursuing - for example, when I was lying down, it was easier to use flat slabs, when I was exercising, spheres and eggs were easier to hold, when standing or sitting the wand was perfect to use. As long as the focus is the same and you have programmed these crystals for this purpose, rest assured that they will manfiest your desires.

So, don't limit yourself. Like abundance, be open to ALL possibilities.

We are abundance, my friend. We just have to remember this again.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin :)

CRYSTALS: Brown Rice

QUESTION: Dear Sheila- I have never heard of using Brown rice to cleanse a crystal. How does it work? What is the theory behind it? I've know of running water and salt water, but the brown rice is a new idea to me and I like the idea, but again what is the basis behind it. I enjoy your site and have recommended it to my friends.

ANSWER: Hi, thanks for your email. I personally prefer to use brown rice because it is readily available and easy to use and to store. As for the theory behind it, I don't know where it came from, but my guess is that it has something to do with the fiber coating that white rice does not have. I am not sure about the theory of salt water either other than its connection to the sea, so brown rice may be a connection to the earth. In a sense it would make sense as I am an Earth person and don't prefer the sea. Pure speculation, but may be reality!

I suggest you experiment with the different methods of cleaning crystals (salt water, sage, tap water, brown rice, sea salt, clusters, etc) to find the method that you prefer. You can also watch the video I have on cleaning crystals at: http://satincrystals.ning.com/

Let me know if you have any other thoughts or question on the subject. We are always an email away! Thanks for recommending our site to your friends. It is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 30

Inspired by Batman: The Dark Knight's scene where the Joker has piled up all the cash in city into one looming green tower, I proceeded with my money multiplier practice. Aventurine wand in hand, I imagined myself sitting in the middle of this pile of cash. The cash came tumbling down through my Crown Chakra like a wealthy waterfall.

Every time I pushed it outward, it kept piling back in.

In and Out. Cash Flow.

At one point, I was momentarily horrified as my visualizations "tore" my back off of the rest of my physical body. The bloody sheath of my back removed from the rest of my body; I was maimed. Or so I thought....

Slowly I "saw" the rest of my physical body leave me until finally my skeleton came and left. I was but a thin outline defining my energy body.

I was surprised because the money that was so easily flowing through my physical body now seemed to hit a blockade. It now took extra brain power to finally get the energy of cash to flow through my own energy fields. I focused my Aventurine wand on each of my main chakra points, imagining the energy of cash in the universe flowing through me freely. This proved much harder than "sitting" physically in the pile of cash.

HAPPY PEOPLE INTERVIEW: Pamela Johnson

Pamela Johnson
Occupation retired art teacher
Location Missouri

Five things that make you the happiest:
1. Time spent with my boys
2. Creating my art work
3. Everything in nature
4. The books, music, people and occurrences that enhance the spiritual path I’m on right now.
5. Knowing that Spirit is present everywhere and that I lack for nothing.

What are your views on energy healing? I’m just now learning a little about it, but it makes as much sense to me as anything else out there. We are all beings of vibrational energy, so why not use the energy of crystals (or plants, animals, and people, for that matter) to increase our well being? Energy, no matter what form it’s contained in, all comes from the same Source, which in my view is only good and loving.

How do you call abundance into your life? By believing that I already have what I need and accepting it. I’m not always successful at this. Sometimes it’s very hard to put this law into practice, but I’m getting better at it.

What is your favorite crystal? Obsidian. Negativity is toxic, and one of the properties of obsidian is to repel that. What is one crystal or energy healing experience you would like to share with the world? I don’t have one yet.

How do you define success? There are lots of ways to feel successful. When I do something that “gives back” or is helpful to someone else in some way, I feel successful. Accomplishing a goal I have set for myself makes me feel successful. When I’m trying to understand and learn what a spiritual teacher is saying, that “aha” moment of finally “getting it” ( and sometimes it takes a really long time to get there!) gives me a great sense of success.

Three things that you would like to manifest in your life right now:
1. Unshakeable confidence that I can accomplish whatever I set before me to do.
2. Get my art out there into the best venues for me
3. “Can’t put a lid on it” creativity

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)? Positive people who are open to Life and celebrate the uniqueness of everyone on the planet.

CRYSTALS: Neck Pains

Getting too wild on the dancefloor this weekend left me with some neck aches. The perfect crystal for relieving this tension is a Quartz cluster. The cluster's points are constantly circulating positive, healing energies. Holding the cluster up to your neck and imagining a white light melting away the tension here helps to remove the pressure. Depending on the level of stress, it may take but a one 5 minute session or several 5 minute session throughout the day...

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 27

Today i used a green Aventurine Merkaba for the money multiplier practice. The merkaba is a combination of 2 pyramids melded together, creating a holy energy, conducive for time travel and dimension crossing. It collects universal energy and brings it to the room you place it, circulating an abundance of the crystal's energy through all the points!

Concentrating on the chakras with the Aventurine Merkaba helps to circulate abundance energy in your aura.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 26

Aventurine is popularly known as the stone of abundance. Any kind of Abundance you wish to program it for. Aventurine is a green Quartz with natura mica inclusions. Ranging from light green to dark green like the wand I use for my money multiplier practice. I especially like to use this wand because it is very long, I can feel the power and wisdom of the ages. It also contains a beautiful clear Quartz ball at the end with a brilliant rainbow, reminding me of the different chakra colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet).

Passing the Quartz sphere over my eyes after the money multiplying affirmations, I "saw" a bright green light behind my eyelids.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 23/24

The last two days found me practicing the "money multiplier" during exercise! I used the Bloodstone Egg and Moss Agate ball directly on my physical body at the chakra points. While exercising, your body is naturally circulating a lot of energy, might as well program it for abundance!

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 21

I lie with my long Aventurine Aura Wand, opening the chakras with the affirmation that has become so familiar to me: "every day in every way, I am rich and richer". I thought about a question someone posted on our social network, satincrystals.ning.com about programming crystals and how many times she should repeat her affirmations.

In general crystal healing, there is no need to re-affirm your intention, but in calling in abundance and other such practices, I think it's very beneficial. It's akin to chanting, where you are calling in the positive vibrations of your affirmation into your aura, into your cells, your very being...In my opinion, you should affirm the positive thought until it is ingrained in your life.

It's great to call out "I am abundance" several times a day. It helps you to align yourself with this thought and energy. It reminds us of our natural being which is so often confused with the chaos around our every day conscious minds.

So, I say repeat away! Make yourself vibrate with the energy of positivity.

Thank you for being a part of I Dig Crystals, Satin Crystals, the Money Multiplying Practice. I thank the universe for your positive energies and thoughts and I send you the same....

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 18/19

The money multiplier exercise is to call money into your aura. To unblock any negatively programmed thoughts on money. It may take a lot of time depending on your programming. It may be a quick breakthrough. Essentially we want to break the cycle and connect you with the source of cash flow in the universe...

The past two days I used my long Aventurine aura wand to open my chakras with the positive affirmation, "every day in every way I am rich and richer". As mentioned in the first "money multiplying" post, you can use any abundance crystal that you are comfortable with.

As I imagined how rich and wealthy I am, a warm positive energy blanket floated over my body...

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 16

With Bloodstone Egg in one hand, Moss Agate ball in the other, I physically placed the crystals on each of the 7 main chakras while affirming out loud "every day in every way I am rich and richer". This allowed me to feel the actual physical vibrations of abundance filling my aura.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 6

Today I decided to do my money multiplying practice standing up, letting my spine stretch long. This helped me to ground my energies and connect the crown of my head to universal energy.

To achieve this kind of balance, we must maintain good posture. Just keep reminding yourself of the benefits of "length" whenever you realize your slumping tendencies. It can be done!

To further this exercise, imagine all the negativity in your body flowing down through the soles of your feet, through the floor, through the miles of dirt and releasing into the core of earth. Imagine positive energy flowing from the universe down from the sky, through your roof, into the crown of your head. Take as much as you want: it's infinite!
