Yee-haw. I'm feeling very into sisters right now.

The power behind the talisman. We have talked about this a little bit in the past. The things we do in the name of healing, and the really fun part is the confused look on the face of your shrink when you tell them about it. I have walked around with rocks in my pocket, a variety of crystals, I have done reike…I am still here. I am not trying to take away from any of the possible healing properties that any of these things may have. I just know what has and has not worked for me. An example of this would be a purple scarf (which is bringing you power and protection) tied around your waist or your head was really nothing more than a fashion statement for me, and not a very good one. I think reike is an amazing thing, but reike is only as powerful as you believe it to be and as powerful and as healing as the hands of the person performing it. I have had one AMAZING reike experience, exhausting and life changing, done by a couple, after they broke up the power changed. My friend Eileen crochets beautiful items, I am wrapped it a shawl she made me right now, it makes you feel wrapped in her warmth and offers comfort. She also works with Essential oils, and makes some amazing product or potion however you want to look at it.

I think crystal healing has something to offer, but I am a little challenging, so I may not be the best person to judge this. Blue Lace Agate is a gentle, calming stone that brings tranquility, a lessening of anger (even deep anger issues) and a calming of nervousness. Amber serves as a bridge to connect the energies of heaven and earth - of the spiritual and the physical realms. Amber can be used to ground spiritual energies into your physical body and fill it with light. Amethyst has been known for eons of time as the stone of spirituality and the stone to assist in alcohol recovery. It will assist in overcoming any addiction. Angelite can bring serenity, inner peace, and a sense of calm, and is excellent to use when you need to calm down from feelings of overwhelming stress. Spectrolite brings forth each person's strengths, originality, aids sleep, relate to others. Spectrolite is thought to bring good luck.

“Your badge - it's just a star, just another symbol. Your talisman. It can't stop criminals in their tracks, can it? It has power because you believe it does. Wish you could believe in me.” –Sally Owens(Practical Magic,1998) The power you put behind the talisman, my friend Sarah recently started crocheting and is selling items on Etsy. She also makes beaded jewelry(which I am going to have to order something for summer). I ordered a colorful beanie and an owl hat. I am pretty sure that Sarah has actually worn this owl hat in one of her You Tube videos(please do not correct me if I am wrong). When my package from Sarah’s Gypsy Wagon arrived and I realized what it was I was screaming like a girl at a Justin Beiber concert. I tore into my package and plopped my owl on my head and was running around the house like the Thundercats or possibly the Wondertwins. I was screeching about the power of the hat, while Dean and my kid looked at me like I was insane. My new lucky talisman. Sarah has been a mentor of sorts and she is just an amazing girl, so this little piece of something she made with yarn gave me that little extra push out the door. Thank you Sarah!
