I had the same experience getting used to carnelian, not headaches but all-over aches, had to begin with 15 mins/day. It was for energy and all-over ache that I wanted it in the first place. Relieved it was useful in the end!
I don't think I knew that carnelian is useful for all over aches. I have some-but picked them out mainly because I thought they were pretty in color. I should look into using them during my chakra meditation and hope they will help me with my aches and pains all over.
My all over aches and pains are not quite as bad as they use to be, thanks to diet changes and my tens unit--but I'm always on the lookout for other ways too. I'm beginning to have lots of problems with aches in my feet now--more then before. Perhaps carnelian will help with that. thanks for the idea!
I'm glad you mentioned pietersite, I hadn't heard of it and have now looked it up, and it looks good for me too.
Do you find it helps now, with those things?
OMG, YES! The pietersite is wonderful! I absolutely LOVE it. It really tones the energy of the moldavite down a lot. I will never be w/o it if I have moldavite near me. Its also a very pretty stone. Now, mine is polished up nicely, and wrapped in sterling silver, like the moldavite, but I still think it is beautiful to behold.
had to edited to add as I forgot--yes, the moldavite did help me a lot with communicating with more spirits and perhaps even clearer, I think. Its hard to explain, but sometimes the connection between me and the spirit world was as easy to make as if they were still living people coming by to visit me. I could feel them touching me, hold their hands and walk with them, and see them so clearly. Though, I'm not 100% sure it was the moldavite--I'm giving it much of the credit.
I have the ability to move into their body--so I can connect easier with them, identifying their life issues--(how they died, any medical ailments they had, etc). It was/is always just so easy that I don't necessarily 'feel' the merge, if you get what I mean? Hard to describe it in words, really.
I've always done that; I grew up in Brighton, near the beach (English Channel) which has no sand, except when the tide's out, and with my gran I used to collect pebbles to paint with faces depending on what the shapes made us think of. And find the occasional stiff-as-stone dead starfish, or once an enormous leg of a crab. I've never lost the habit of pocketing any stones, or shells, that catch my eye. Just recently I found out it's illegal to remove any shingle from a beach! Oops...
That's funny - natural slate is really expensive here.
I love your labyrinth idea!
that made me smile to read you do the same thing. I grew up in 'crab' country, and once when we took our daughter to visit friends of ours in MD, they live right on the water and have crab pots over their dock. So, the friend made very fresh crab cakes for our lunch and saved one of the crabs, cleaned the shell very well for our daughter to keep. She still has it, I think. Hubby & I also purchased a crab shell that was well cleaned out and painted to look like Santa Claus.
Its a tree ornament and obviously very fragile, but it makes me think of our friends, Mr & Mrs R above each time I pull it out. Even though I got that one at a gift shop.
I love to pick up rocks and shells. We have rocks and shells (when I can get them) from every foreign country we've been in. Unfortunately, I forget which rocks and shells came from which country now, because I just keep them in a dish.
But, we love to collect them.
When we lived in Vermont, slate was even more plentiful! Our home there sat on top of a hill and the driveway went downhill--which was always hell in the winter. So, we had it built up and leveled off with the house. The man who did the work had a lot of land and most of it was ladeled with slate--so we bought the slate rock from him and it was so huge and heavy, it had to be brought into our home on a huge flat bed truck and a crane had to put the pieces in place. It was gorgeous! You could see the impressions of different bugs and such that were in the slate from hundreds or perhaps thousands of years. Way cool. It also turned out to be the greatest little hot house in Vermont for plants. On the other side of this slate walled driveway, we put our vegetable garden. Our tomato plants grew to be about 8' tall and LOADED with tomatoes. Our sage and basil and other herb plants also grew huge--they were big bushes, so large you couldn't put your arms around them! Even two people could barely put their arms around them hand to hand. Greenbeans were the same way. The slate absorbed the heat and really helped our plants there. I so miss that house now, though I never thought I'd say that!
here in New York, we do find slate rock--but not as large as we could get in Vermont. Those were BOULDERS!
