The Shaman's Well on Crystal Healing

Basics of Crystal Healing  The link here takes you to the Shaman's Well.  I used to enjoy the Shaman's Drum but when they stopped printing the magazine recently I decided to keep my antenna tuned to find another equally potent source of the ancient spiritual practices of our most ancient ancestors.  I believe that the Shaman's Well fills the void left by the Shaman's Drum.  The article deals with some top level basics and then switches to an overview of the common uses of a large variety of commonly obtainable crystalline materials.

I stopped in at Healing Waters and Sacred Spaces on Friday afternoon.  Joan had a spectacular Himalayan Pink Ice crystal which I added to my working set of crystals.  I also bought a piece of green quartz from China.  The green quartz has much the same character as the Greek prasem quartz from the island of Seriphos.

On Friday I spent the day at Raine's shop Mistique Boutique in Ogden.  Preparations were in place to do crystal readings but none were conducted.  At about 3:00 my activity shifted to Shannon Lambright's salon two doors down from Raine's place.  Shannon conducted Rike energy work on the crystals that I use to do readings.  It was really quite delightful.  Shannon's promotes her work as a Master Aesthetician, and Rike Master Practitioner.
On Saturday I worked again at Awakening Heart in the Sugarhouse district of Salt Lake City.  Pat Newhouse and her husband were a real treat to watch work together for the day.  The time was booked from 11 till about 2 doing readings.  It was a real honor to have a glimpse into the lives of the people who came to me.

I won't be doing any more readings until after the first of the year although I will likely arrange my activity and post notice of it here during the remainder of this year.

Out and about

Yesterday I stopped in at Golden Braid Books.  I love to have lunch at the Oasis Cafe.  Golden Braid has recently reconfigured their stock.  At present they have a very delightful selection of inexpensive amethyst points and rock crystal quartz points on hand.  The pieces would make an excellent choice for a crystal grid around the base of your bed.  Purchase four amethyst points and four  rock crystal points and arrange them just under the edges and corners of your bed.  The make a splendid dream grid.  After a yummy lunch of tofu curry wrap and a creme brule desert I proceeded to Cosmic Spiral at 9th &9th.  They had some praisolite quartz which I bought.  They only had two on  hand and I bought both.  Cosmic Spiral has a nice selection of crystals and minerals for sale.  I dearly love Kitty and Curtis.  I had my quartz crystal collection with me and wound up bringing them in to  let Gregg Hall one of Cosmic Spiral's healing practitioners have an overview of what I do. Greg is a LMT and will be working at Cosmic Spiral during the week one or two days and on Saturday.   From Cosmic Spiral I went to Kindred Paths located on Highland Rd. just before 39th South.  Steve has a few faceted sapphires on hand which someone placed with him on consignment.  I bought a 3 caret blue stone.  He still has a 4 or so pieces left.  The store does have a few types of tumble polished stones  in stock but the focus of the store is dedicated to the earth religion traditions and only stocks crystals from time to time.  My most recent book purchase from Kindred Paths was Chosen by the Spirits by Sarangerel.  The subject is Mongolian Tengerism.  Having looked over other material on Shamanism I believe that this book needs to be recognized as being of the highest caliber.
