Rocky time for anyone else?
I feel like I’m on a roller coaster, with the best of times and the worst of times… anyone else feeling a little pummeled right now?? On one hand, a wonderful Mother’s Day, regular time with my 92-yr-old mom and my grand-cuties, celebrating our 41st anniversary this week and also #3 for our son and wonderful DIL.
Lots to be grateful for.
But then… there’s the tough stuff. Everything going on in the world and in our fractured country weighs heavily on me. And on a personal level, our family is moving through the one-year mark since our nephew Max died, my husband Peter was laid low with Covid (and is OK now, thankfully), and there were a few other challenges thrown in which I won’t go into cuz we all have them.
Tapping into the Scorpio Full Moon for support
So, with the Full Moon in transformative Scorpio and earth-y Taurus this week, it seemed like a good time to share some of the resources I’ve collected over the years on the healing power of crystals. Maybe it’s because I have no earth in my natal chart, but there’s something about being surrounded, or even just holding, something from the Earth that so grounds me on the deepest level. If the idea is new to you, there are a TON of books about crystal healing out there... I won’t list them here cuz you can just google it, see what resonates, and take your pick.
I really do have so much information on this it’s tough to pick just a handful. I’ll have to do a “part 2” some time, and definitely add more sound healing resources, too. Here are just a few and if you want lots more, let me know.
And of course, I also did my Full Moon TeleMeditation on Monday, May 16th when we dove in to Scorpio’s watery depths to heal and restore those places where we hold pain or fear. I know that sounds heavy, but I promise it really is nurturing to be doing that deep work with in a supportive sacred space, even if it’s on the phone. You can listen to the recording HERE and if you want to join us live in the coming months, you can see all the future dates HERE.
KIANA LOVE: ENERGY HEALER WITH CRYSTALS & SOUND
My dear friend Kiana’s business is called “Be Wild Woman” and she offers “Wild Being Readings” to empower you to experience your natural state of being. It’s a channeled healing crystal & card grid that connects you with Wild Woman and I can tell you from direct experience that it’s both energizing and grounding at the same time. She’s now added a vocal dimension to it which only deepens the process. As she describes it, “healing energy is transmitted through the grid… and the information that comes through helps you relax into Mother Earth’s care like a baby being held and rocked.” Click on her name to reach out to her!
ROCK STAR CRYSTAL STORE — NYC
There are actually a few terrific crystal stores in NYC, but Rock Star was my first. The other one I love is Stick, Stone and Bone. The downside for both of them is that neither one has an online store. For that, you’d need to go to Astro West Fine Minerals, Fossils, and Meteorites. They’re pricier, but have an amazing array as well.
AMNH MIGNONE HALLS OF GEMS & MINERALS — NYC
If you really want to immerse yourself in the power of crystals, get yourself to the Museum of Natural History! Their “gem room” was closed for several years but it’s been back now in vibrant color… and energy! You’ll learn all kinds of fascinating facts about how the huge diversity of minerals arose on our planet, how they’re classified, and how we use them for personal adornment, tools, and technology. 5000 specimens from 98 countries! Kinda geeky, but totally cool and hey, they’re CRYSTALS!
SOHARMONIUMS SPRING CONCERT — Sat., May 21st
OK, so I know this isn’t crystal related, but I had to get this in here!. Singing has always been one of my major “therapies”, and the special experience of singing with a group is extra healing. There’s even a foundation that’s dedicated to educating folks about the benefits of choral singing! So, if you want to immerse yourself in some of that healing sound, come hear my wonderful women’s chorus Spring concert – if you miss this concert, definitely click HERE to get on our mailing list so you can get your “prescription” (tickets) for the next one!
