LESSONS: Hiccup in Time

words from Lisa Satin...

I am so happy to be living my dream every day- and watching Satin Crystals grow before my eyes. The most satisfying part of my work experience is helping others and sharing spiritual knowledge and experiences with a community of very special light persons.

Satin Crystals weekly meditation group has grown, and now has a solid core foundation of regular attendees. We work together and share our positive ideas and our visions. Everyone leaves the sessions rejuvenated and confident in the Creator within.

Last week's meditation, focusing on the manifestation of cash flow into one's life using crystal trees, went smoothly. However, at the end there was a strange exchange of words between certain participants that left tension and negative feelings in the air. This odd occurrence stayed with me for 2 days, as I tried to understand the meanings and lessons behind the incident.

I believe that the hiccup in time occurred for a reason, and the lesson to be learned from the experience varies for each person present during that meditation. I can only share what I personally have learned from the experience:

Each of us are very different, unique human beings. Each person has life experiences that are completely unique to him/herself. We each have different challenges that we face, and various ways in which we go about these challenges.

In the past, it would often frustrate me to watch others "suffer" and go through bouts of depression or hard times. I often thought I had the answers to their problems, and if they could just SEE IT MY WAY, their lives could be so much easier. Even as a child, I may have alienated more than one good friend by being judgmental toward their actions rather than supportive of their feelings. It has taken me a very long time to come to the realization that it is not my job to change people, or to try to shake them out of what I may have seen as a "slump". As a friend, it is my job to listen and be supportive without passing judgment. As a teacher, it is my job to empower people with the skills to help themselves so that they can pursue the path of positive experiences whenever they are ready to embrace that path.

Every person comes to this earth to experience different things. Some of the most important life lessons are often learnt only after struggling and suffering, in one way or the other. If every lifetime was a free ride, then how would we grow at the soul level? We must be entitled to walk our own path, choose our own direction, and move at our own pace. Humanity consists of billions of diverse beings, and each being is at a different point in his/her spiritual development. Only through support and understanding can we lift ourselves and others up.

I thank the universe for bringing this experience to the meditation group. Yes, it may have been negative in nature, but there is always something positive to be learned through the tension. It has taught me that patience is a true necessity for any effective teacher, and to share the message of tolerance and understanding at the next session.

Description
The living body radiates warmth and energy. This energy is a life force and in Japan this energy is termed Ki. It is from this, that the word Reiki is named. Science has been able to measure this energy field or Ki, indicating electromagnetic fields exist around the body and every organ in the body. The strongest magnetic field exists around the heart....measuring a distance of 15 feet from the body.Organs and tissues pulse at different frequencies when healthy and when unhealthy or out of balance. When receiving Reiki, the hands of the healer are placed on or above your clothed body, on areas needing balance or healing in order to induce healthy Ki or electromagnetic fields into any unhealthy or unbalanced part of your physical or energetic system. The Reiki healer is not giving you the energy, he or she becomes a channel for Universal healing energy and electromagnetic energy to flow through them like a conduit, to you to go to where it is needed.Reiki is a complimentory healing modality and does not interfere with medical diagnosis or treatment. It cannot be promised Reiki will cure any particular problem or disease but Reiki sessions have been known to have similar benefits to massage such as decreasing stress and anxiety, relieving pain, assisting with sleep, lowering blood pressure, calming the emotions and nervous system, relaxation, balancing the persons aura and energy fields and helping the person get into an alpha or theta altered state of relaxation.Some people experience emotional release during the healing, others experience heat or energy or comfort and rest. After the healing the person who experienced the Reiki as well as the person providing the Reiki, usually feels lighter, better and more relaxed.

Join us for this opportunity to experience Reiki.

We are offering 30 min sessions, first come, first served. If you'd like, you can call in advance to reserve your time slot, we recommend you call today because they are filling up fast.

Crystals: Throat #2

QUESTION: Dear Sheila, I'm very impressed of your comments, you are very smart and intelligent girl. I salute to your efforts.

Actually, my mom had a sore & hoarse throat before due to intake of very hot ginger tea. After that her throat got very sore and hoarse, and dry, then she started to do herbal remedies. Then her soreness and hoarseness were gone, but she did mistake, she gargled with salt water, it made her throat more worse, it made her throat, tongue and lips more dry, she became anxious, so her heart started beating fast and her blood pressure became low.

We called emergency at 12:00 mid-night, she spent all night in the emergency, doctor checked her throat and she had a throat culture. Her family doctor found that it is a bacteria, she has white spots in her throat, she took antibiotics, she got better than before, but now she has too much thirst for drinking water, she still feels that her lips, tongue and throat is dry. She cannot eat raw carrot, spicy food, and she doesn't take tea.

I was praying for her a lot and my family too, she is praying too. I was very worried, and looking for best youtube program for dry throat, so suddenly, I found your you tube, it was very exited and made me feel happy, you looked very kind and helpful. Believe me when I saw your email, I thought that a friend of mine sent me an email because you are very friendly and helpful, God bless you amen.

So please suggest the stone for my mom and also send me the procedure. For example, I have a stone for her dry throat, then how do I start the procedure, please reply as soon as possible. I am crying and emailing you.

Thank you very much and I will be waiting for email eagerly.

ANSWER: Once you have obtained your Quartz wand, you will want to clean, charge and program it. You can choose a variety of methods of cleaning and charging - whatever you have available to you - you only have to choose one method of the many options - http://www.idigcrystals.com/care.htm

After you have cleaned and charged the stone, you want to program it in a positive manner to heal your mother's throat. A statement you could use would be "Thank you for opening up my mother's throat chakra energies" - but use your own words that make you comfortable saying! Then you will want to point the tip of the Quartz a few inches above her throat. Use your giving hand (right hand if you are right handed) and rotate it in a clockwise circle for a few minutes.

Make sure she is feeling relaxed, breathing comfortably and have her imagine all of her throat energies free and feeling healthy. Make sure she states exactly how she WANTS her throat to feel - don't say words like dry or raw or anything that she does NOT want her throat to feel! You can even have her imagine that she is shooting away the throat bacteria like we do with cancer patients, having them imagine themselves shoot away the cancer cells.

As you are working on her, make sure that you are not being emotional or giving her any of your fears, doubts or worries. That's why it's always best to have an unbiased healer working on someone. However, if you have he right state of mind, and a certain detachment, you could do it also! Make sure you have some protective stones on you (wearing or holding) when you are working on others so you YOU don't absorb the negativity coming out of your mother's energies. We use Obsidian for protection.

As for the blue stones, you can place these on her throat or near her bedside so that she can have this positive energy on her when you are not working on her energetically. Again, you will want to clean, charge and program them. It's best if she can do the programming herself if she will be lying with these stones.

If you have any other questions, please do ask. Meanwhile, make sure that you are relaxing and accepting the situation. Only when we accept the situation can we move on to hope and a cure.

Remember, healing is never an instantaneous process, so take the time and trust in the universe to take its course.

Many positive thoughts,
Sheila Satin

ANGELS: Bandages

from my mom's travels

Here I am! sitting at the airport comfortably waiting for the flight.

This morning I have decided to wear the slippers which I have never done before (It is very hot in Bangkok and usually I would wear a pair of sneakers while traveling). I noticed there was a small cut on top of my left foot due to friction. I thought to myself that I wished I had a bandage which I have stopped buying for years (no drugs store for me) And there would be some walking around the airport to get places and the cut would probably hurt more. Anyway, nothing much I can do, so I decide to forget about it.

I went to exchange the money. At the end of transaction, the girl thanked me and handed me a pack of bandage and said this is a gift for you. I still couldn't believe my eyes and my ears. The size of the bandage is a small cute size that I have never seen or used before. And who would have thought that the money exchanger people would be giving out such a gift at the airport in Tokyo, Japan.

Oh Angel dearest, I thank you for your love and your taking care of me. Now may I ask for something else 1.....2....3...

Lots and lots of love,Ann

P.S. Is this appropriate or what?, we have just finished our Angel/guide class few days back!

SOULS: Twin

Regarding my post on 11:11

Dearest Sheila, Ann just forwarded your blog address to our beginner crystal healing group and I saw your 11:11 header up and simply had to reply! 11 and 22 are very spiritual numbers and seeing 11:11 on your clock or in dates or running into it all the time usually means you are either about to come into contact with or meet your twin soul! Do look it up if you have time..Lots of love,

Thank you for your email. It does make sense as I do see this time 11:11 whenever I am driving to work where I see my sister Lisa at Satin Crystals Store.

I have looked up a little bit about twin souls. Of course you can have many in this life or none at all, depending on where your twin souls are at the moment in our universe:

Our twin can be our lover, brother or sister, mother or father, another relative or a very dear friend. Regardless of who your twin might be this lifetime around, you will feel a closeness to that person that is usually very, very strong and goes way beyond all others.

CRYSTALS: Sore Throat

QUESTION: Dear Sheila, I suddenly saw your You Tube program on Crystal Healing, which makes me very happy and exited.

But I've few questions from you as follow:-

What kind of crystal is that?

Is that a salt crystal or what?

Pls tell me and then I will buy from somewhere. I'm living in Canada (Hamilton).

I appreciate your kindness and help.

Pls email me as soon as possible, thank. I'll be waiting for your information eagerly.

Because my mom had a sore & hoarse throat, doctor prescribed her antibiotics, she is taking now, it got better, but now she is complaining of very dry throat, cannot swallow the saliva, she is taking a lot of water with honey, but whatever she eats, it makes her throat dry, she likes to get rid of it.

Dear Sheila,

Can you tell me that what kind of crystal is good for her? This crystal for only sore throat or other symptomes as well?

This crystal is useful for what kind of diseases?

Pls email me as soon as possible, thanks. I will pray you from the depth of my heart.

ANSWER: Thank you for your email. I am glad you found my Crystal Healing video informative. I have made several videos, so if you can tell me exactly which one you are referring to, it would be helpful! I guess you are referring to the clear wand that I am using?? If so, it is a QUARTZ CRYSTAL and you can buy them locally in Canada or you can shop online at our ebay store: Satin Crystals

Additionally, for the throat, you will want to use a light blue stone like Angelite to open up that area and relieve any swelling. You can combine this with the opening of the chakra done with the Quartz Generator wand as well to be more effective. Other Throat Stones I can suggest are Turquoise, Amazonite and Chrysocolla. If you can not find something locally or on our ebay store, feel free to email me back and we may have it in our retail store that we can send to you via mail.

You can also check a previous post I had made regarding my own sore throat problem: http://sheilasatin.blogspot.com/search?q=sore+throat

Please let me know what other questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Swollen Ankles

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, Lately I have been experiencing swollen ankles. I soak my feet once a week, maybe I need more. Would crystals help with that? Any help is appreciated. I always enjoy getting emails from you and Lisa. Thank you.

ANSWER: Dear -, thank you so much for your email. Crystals will definitely help with your swollen ankles. You would essentially soak your feet in gem waters. I would recommend Apache Tear or Serpentine stones (or both) to reduce the swelling. Clean, Charge and Program the crystals with your intention. Soak them in the water for a few hours before soaking your feet in the water. Repeat this process as many times as necessary. Let us know how you progress!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin
