CRYSTALS: Community



QUESTION:Hello dear Ann & Sheila,

I was a member of the Satin ning community. I'm wondering if you have a new community or if you just closed it down. I ask because I see on the site that it says community though I couldn't find a community.

Any help would be appreciated because it was a good community to be part of,

Many Blessings of Love & Light.

ANSWER: Thank you for your email. We unfortunately had to close our ning group down due to their implementing a new fee structure for running the group. Our current community is based in San Francisco, so if you are in the area or do come visit, we welcome you to drop by our events!

Meanwhile, we still have a crystal healing blog where you can keep up with the current crystal happenings and ask any questions you may want answers to at http://sheilasatin.blogspot.com
You are also welcome to submit guest posts here! You can subscribe to the blog via email or RSS feeder.

As always, our online store remains open, as does our email channels, so we are always happy to answer your metaphysical questions!

CRYSTALS: Dreams


QUESTION: Hello Sheila, A few nights ago I have an unusual dream. There was a room full of sunlight. My parents were present and I was dipping my hands in bowls. One hand in a bowl of Imperial Aura, and the other in Aqua Aura. Then, a woman led me away, handed me a large piece of crystal, and asked me what it was. I identified it as orange/peach calcite and said, "yes, I have some at home". When I awoke, I realized that I don't actually own calcite.

I guess the details don't really matter, but I thought it strange to dream of those specific crystals. Even more odd is that, consciously, I have never come across any of those crystals before yet was able to identify them in my dream. I only found out through research that I was correct.

I was hoping that you could provide some insight as to what those crystals mean, and what they may symbolize. The only research I have found so far is working with crystals for dream work but not dreams specifically about crystals.

If you have a moment to spare, I would like to know what you think. Thank you!

ANSWER: Hello, dream interpretation is a very individualistic practice. Each dream will mean something different to the dreamer. However, I can guide you in what the crystals mean in your dreams.

Often times dreaming of certain crystals is a call-out from this type of energy for you to start focusing on balancing your life in this specific realm, if not on yourself then someone around you. For example, orange Calcite is one to uplift the emotions, increase your personal confidence, balance the sacral chakra for sexuality, creativity and meaningful relationships. Aqua Aura is a Quartz crytal artificially bonded with gold, giving it its brilliant colors and shine. Aqua Aura unburdens you from limitations you have put on yourself, sheds your baggage and allows room for the new! It encourages communication from the heart. As for Imperial Aura, I am not familiar with this stone. What color was it? Are you thinking of Imperial Quartz? If so, this is a yellow Quartz, also artificially bonded.

Since you have never actually worked with these crystals in this life, it sounds like you have been a crystal healer in the past. You may have been accessing these stored memories of your subconscious, as we do astral travel during our dream process. Our conscious minds fall asleep and our subconscious mind, which is connected to the vast power of universal energy and knowledge is in control!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

CRYSTALS: Herkimer



QUESTION: Dear Sheila, I want to do a throat chakra layout for someone who has lost her voice. It's suggested that two double terminated quartz crystals be used as part of the layout. Can I substitute two double terminated Herkimer Diamonds or would the affect be different?
Thank you - Blessings.

ANSWER: Thanks for your email. Herkimer Diamonds are actually a form of Quartz, so those will be perfect for your throat layout! Let me know how it turns out!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

SESSIONS: Interview

Here are some Questions & Answers regarding our Energy Healing Sessions at Satin Crystals!

1. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
Despite working with spiritual energy, we are down to earth healers who want to bring balance to our clients.

2. What do you like most about your job?
Being in touch with the magical world beyond the physical realm. Working with crystals helps to fuse the physical world with the energetic and bring great relief for those who are stressed out by every day chaos.

3. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
The most common question we get from clients is how they will feel during a session and how long it will take for them to feel balanced. Our answer is that it depends on each individual. We are all unique in our vibrations, and each person will go through different shifts during the healing process. There is no set way you will feel, there is no right or wrong. As long as you set your mind towards a positive outcome, you will achieve this state of being.

4. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
We never try to heal those who are unwilling to heal. We guide those who are ready for progress. Only those who come to us voluntarily are ready for energy healing. Others will turn to pills for a quick-fix, thus burying the true cause of their illnesses. Our bodies are made up of certain chemicals for self-healing and regulation. Mixing other chemicals into the body messes up this natural state of balance.

5. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
The importance of cleaning your crystals and keeping protected comes to mind. When I first started my crystal healing practice, I saw three clients in a row. In my excitement, I totally forgot about protecting myself, in this case by wearing my Obsidian bracelet to help transmute the client's negative energy to positive, rather than it affecting me. I was sick for three days straight after that. I never forgot to protect myself again!

6. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
Over the years, as our collective consciousness shifts to a higher vibration, many more people are realizing again the importance of living a balanced life. We wish that everyone was able to see the benefits of natural healing and embrace this way of healing rather than resorting to medicines.

7. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Make sure you feel comfortable with your healer. We are happy to answer any questions you may have before you begin any session. If you do feel uncomfortable at any stage of the session, you are always in control.

8. What important information should buyers have before seeking you out?
Clients should wear comfortable clothing, come with an open mind and be ready to relax. Even if they do not know the root cause of their problem, this will be revealed in the session. Consider this an investment to your health; and that is invaluable!

9. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
Our parents first got into the energy healing work and my sister and I followed in their footsteps when we saw how remarkable the earth's energies can be. We were not raised in a metaphysical setting, so we had our doubts and denials, but slowly we were able to reprogram our skepticism to a positive attitude. We are not able to attract that what we want into our lives!

10. What are your most common types of jobs?
We work with all sorts of clients who come in for all sorts of symptoms. From physical pains to fears to test preparation to past life regressions.

11. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
We are affiliate with the California Hypnosis Institute and we are constantly creating new classes for our healers to learn additional methods of energy healing. We also have guest teachers come in and teach their skills as well.

12. If you have a complicated pricing system for your service, please give all the details here.
We have many sessions available, from crystal healing, reiki, spiritual counseling, intuitive readings, hypnosis, past life regression, life between lives, spiritual hypnosis, chakra cleansing and vibrational healing from a variety of healers. Our rates range from $60-$150/hour depending on the service and healer.

13. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?
I would strongly suggest that you first work on yourself. No one wants to see a healer who is not balanced. Just like we wouldn't want to be trained by an overweight physical trainer, we would not want to be healed by someone who relies on the medical world, complaining and with a general bad attitude.

To book a session with one of our healers, visit our store, email or give us a call at 415-776-7446.

CRYSTALS: Lost Ganesh


QUESTION: Hey Sheila, how are you? how have you been?

I lost Ganesh...I m desperate. Is this a bad sign?

cheers

ANSWER:

Hi, good to hear from you!

I am sorry you lost your Ganesh. There are a few interpretations to what it means when you lose a crystal. Some people say that you no longer need the energy of that particular crystal. However, since you just got this one, it may the other interpretation that it has gone on to someone who needs it even more than you. At other times it is just misplaced and you will find it later, giving you time to ponder over the reasons you needed this crystal in the first place.

Whichever interpretation, you will know which one is right for you. Since we are all different!

If you'd like another Ganesh crystal, let me know and I can mail it to you or any other crystal as well!

Your friend,
Sheila Satin
