Crystals for World Healing

All stones and crystals are useful with our intent of healing the planet as they come from within her and are like receivers and transmitters, communicating with the matrix of the planet. As we clear ourselves of any blockages using our friends from the mineral kingdom, we become more clear to bring forth more light and send it right to the core of Gaia.

Working with grounding stones so the root chakra is open is of primary importance. We must be hooked in to the physical plane and centered in order for this connection and transmission to occur. Stones like smokey quartz, jet, black and brown tourmaline, obsidian, jade, and jasper are all wonderful for grounding.

Working with any other stones that resonate with you to further purify your vessel with help with your own experience and ability to bring forth high frequencies and expansion, thereby affecting everyone around you and this beautiful planet that we live on.

Lastly I suggest we always work to open our hearts. Stones such as rose quartz, rhodochrosite, rhodonite, pink tourmaline,, sugilite, and kunzite, to name just a few, will assist us in opening further to love, gratitude, compassion, respect, understanding. As we heal ourselves we set the example of how to live a different way for the rest of the world. As each of us in our own little ways raise the vibration we affect the macrocosmic resonance, bringing forth our birthright of love, support, and reverance for each other and all of creation.

By Christine Paton, intuitive crystal expert &healing facilitator Chrysocolla is the primary choice of stone when our intent is to send healing energy to our beloved planet. It acts as a microcosmic representation of Gaia, a tangable object we can use to direct our love, prayers and healing energy... 

Love Unconditionally

THE OBSERVATION

It’s been a big week. The list of grave client issues that surfaced in my healing practice this week is long. They included suicidal tendencies, child witnessing a murder, past life drowing, child and sexual abuse and a breast cancer alarm. Additionally, there were all sorts of office issues, career & money challenges; and relationship/partner issues.

THE MESSAGE

While these seem quite unrelated issues, the Reiki clairaudient messages I received this week for the various clients actually had something in common. They built a wider perspective for clients to help them conceive peace and find inner-harmony, no matter what happened in their past, present or future. It reminded me that we should see ourselves as Spiritual Beings (souls) with Earthen experiences (as oposed to human beings with spiritual moments).

Clients were encouraged to be more soulful, to reach a level of unattachment from their contextual environment, and to apply unconditional love when relating to that environment. It was a new perspective and choice: by seeing love and being love, they would actually receive love and live in love.

WHAT DOES UNCONDITIONAL LOVE MEAN?

“Soul love is a quality of being, a shining light that lifts, soothes, and comforts all who come within its sphere of influence.” writes the spiritual writer, Sayana Roman, in her book ‘Soul Love‘. (The book is one of my favorites.)

“Soul love is serene because it is unconditional. Your soul loves without needing to receive anything in return.
It does not measure how much love to give by how deserving people are. Your soul offers love without needing appreciation, acknowledgment, praise or reward for its love. Soul love does not ‘come and go’, based on the actions & reactions of others. Your soul gives love to others without caring how others use this love or even if they use it.

Feel the serenity that comes from giving love without needing to receive anything in return.”

YOUR NEXT STEP

So, as we are ALL souls with earthen experiences, this week’s shared reiki messages actually apply to us all, and we can all enjoy the serenity that comes from living in unconditional love.

Ahhh, sounds nice but not easy (read: impossible) to give unconditional love to one’s least favorite persons? Give yourself a surprise. Try it, by simply giving unconditional love to at least 4 people today. Just think it, say it, show it, live it. Start by giving it to yourself! You can do it. Observe the changes that occur within you and surrounding you as you do so. Continue and do 4 more tomorrow and each day following. Include more and more people you havent been fond of in the past.

Eating Organics Heals Our World; a How-To article

I’m sure you’ve heard about the connection between red meat and the deforestation in the Amazon. The use of pesticides on your fruit and veggies causes equally amazing ecological issues. And that’s not to mention the health hazards they represent to us humans directly. There are books written on this topic: change the way you eat and you help heal Mother Earth. These are written by experts. Bottom-line: reducing our impact on the planet is the right thing to do, and that involves a considered shift to organics.

In my view (I’m not an expert; someone just like you trying to do the right thing), there are 3 steps: 1. go organic, 2. stop mean meat, and 3. let’s do vegan. Like you, I am searching for answers, tips and ways to best move a heavily meat eating family towards utopic munching. It’s not easy. So I opted for metrix and a step-by-step approach. Let me share my findings with you for our first step.

Step 1: GO ORGANIC.
I’ve looked all over till I found this online gem! Here is an excellent, long list of 43 Fruits & Veggies and their pesticides scores, developed by Environmental Working Group. Check them out at foodnews.org. Your donations funds their helpful research.

RANK	FRUIT OR VEGGIE	SCORE
#1 (best)	Onions	1 (lowest pesticide load)
#2	Avocado	1
#3	Sweet Corn – frozen	2
#4	Pineapples	7
#5	Mango	9
#6	Asparagus	11
#7	Sweet peas – frozen	11
#8	Kiwi	14
#9	Bananas	16
#10	Cabbage	17
#11	Broccoli	18
#12	Papaya	21
#13	Blueberries	24
#14	Cauliflower	27
#15	Winter Squash	27
#16	Watermelon	28
#17	Sweet Potatoes	30
#18	Tomatoes	30
#19	Honeydew Melon	31
#20	Cantaloupe	34
#21	Mushrooms	37
#22	Tangerine	38
#23	Grapefruit	40
#24	Oranges	42
#25	Grapes – Domestic	43
#26	Plums	45
#27	Raspberries	47
#28	Cucumbers	52
#29	Hot Peppers	53
#30	Green Beans	53
#31	Carrots	57
#32	Potatoes	58
#33	Lettuce	59
#34	Spinach	60
#35	Grapes – Imported	65
#36	Pears	65
#37	Cherries	75
#38	Strawberries	82
#39	Nectarines	84
#40	Celery	85
#41	Sweet Bell Peppers	86
#42	Apples	89
#43 (worst)	Peaches	100 (highest pesticide load)

You can use this chart in several way. Avoid high pesticides foods and/or eat only their organic versions. Consider using a wider range of veggies into your cooking, now including more of those that are low in pesticides to begin with. Rinse your fruits and veggies to get some pesticides off. When you go shopping, take a print-out of this blog page, or use the printable wallet size list of ‘dirty dozen’ and ‘cleanest 12′ chart, published by EWG: http://www.foodnews.org/pdf/EWG_pesticide.pdf

In addition, I recommend you start reading a bit every day on holistic healing through the food you eat. I find that when I read on a topic, it becomes more alive for me and I find it easier to ‘stick to the program’ of whatever new idea I’m bringing into my life. In the sidebar here, see my Books for Healers (i.e. that’s all of us, as we can only heal ourselves). I’ve posted some relevant books in my section on ‘Nutrition’.

Furthermore, shop for local produce. It is almost equally important to buy locally when it comes to ‘buying organics to help save the planet’. Research by the University of Alberta, for example, shows that some organic food travels far, hereby accummulating shipping pollution ‘penalty points’. So hit the weekend markets of local farmers, which are fun to visit.

And last but not least: re-program your thinking! Remind yourself with every organic carrot that you munch on, you are doing yourself AND the environment a favor. A good affirmation for those early in the organics-tracks:

“I’m healing my world, bite by bite.”

In the future, I will write about ‘How I became a vegetarian’ and ‘All about being vegan’.

Daydreaming moments on love and healing.

On our World healing day, a thought came to me that made me very happy.  I was thinking if we had a big enough group, we could buy some TV time globally and have a commercial with the message of LOVE.  And this commercial would blast the airwaves and cyberspace with:WE are ONE.  LOVE is the answer. ...
