Good day to all! Happy dance! I'd wag my tail if I had one!!

Tashina, Yes, found stones. Sometimes old tools show up. My best heartstone is the one I held to quiet my heart during my roughest times. And it is the most charged,and is out visiting friends. Don't remember quite where or when I found it or how it could have stayed thru all my changes. Pink and red,,maybe a kind of ruby.

And I have a smooth dark green,maybe jade, maybe soapstone. Excellent for cooling hot swollen tissue/energy blocks.

The stones go where they are needed. Must be with you for a reason.

Can I ask what colors they are?

LassenSage,

The wand looks like aged wood with sparkles in it and is stone with a small barnacle on it , and the heart shaped stone is a pretty tan yellow, a family member who worked in Africa brought in home to me when I asked him for a few stones , one I gave to my daughter. Do you know the meaning of these stones ?

Wood helps the energy flow..hmm old wood for old stuck energy,,maybe..sparkles,some quartz to amp it up,,and barnacles,,for deep seated bones aches and maybe old injuries.

I wood place,,a little word pun intended,,the wand between my hand chakra and press to see if I got a ah,hah..And an ah,hahahah would be even better.

And try it for deep seated bone pain,,direct the energy from your hand chakra..Again press again the stuck energy..If it works it will be instant. If not try again later.

Yellow is happy,,Like Citrine a golden yellow quartz crystal. Tan golden yellowish? Sounds like a Carnelian I found in Trinidad..Wear it at your neck for clearing out the throat chakra.

  Have fun thanks for asking

Tashina,

Looking at your question, again.I see you are asking for the Bigger Picture and in doing so, You have taught me a lesson that help me further understand what I already Know.

And so I have to tell a story on myself. And I am a slow typer..

In 1991 I was contacted by someone very different, yet very familiar. A Native American Kickapoo Shaman who lead me on a merry Path until his old habitual habit patterns from this life turned him dour and dark,and he and his tongue tied group went another Path and I went on alone to find my True way.

What the Spirit said thru him became very different from his Walk. Very important to Walk your Talk.

I was taught how to do Sweat lodges in a very respectful way, and reconnected with my Native Self.

I look like an Indian, but have no traceable bloodlines as far as I know. My Indian friends tell me I am Red inside.

Thru sitting and Meditating I finally learned to observe my thinking patterns in order to discover my baggage.

I started asking MY Higher Self for Help. And during this time I started finding stones. Stones that were old tools for Healing Work. So I suggest that that Wand came back to you. And this Carnelian is important, powerful enough to be gentle.

The Carnelian that came to me was the Very First Stone that came to Play with me and help me begin to come into my Own Personal Power. I made my first deerskin pouch and wore it at my neck for about 15 yrs. And that Stone stayed with me long after it should have been lost along the way. It appeared among my belongings somehow again in 2007 in the original tiny pouch, only to be lost in another pouch I was wearing,along with a tiny white un-pointed quartz that had began to clear and shift into a point. I went back and searched the stores, but finally got it that someone needed it more.

When we started buying stones this was one of the first I ordered and wore. I bought a lb of small tumbled to give away, it is that important to me. A tiny one tucked in the belly button eases the churning chakra in this personal power place.

If you can, put a rough,unshaped white/or cloudy clear quartz stone in with the Carnelian,as they work/play with you and you begin to discover yourself. It will take that energy and grow.

Yes, it is just a little stone. But it knows who you are and came to be with you.

A deeper look at the Carnelian from an excellent book. The Book of Stones, Who They are and What They Teach. From page 92 on Carnelians:Key words:Courage,Vitality,sexuality,confidence,action.

Element:Fire

Chakras: Root(1st),Sexual/Creative(2nd),Solar Plexus(3rd)

C. activates the 1st,2nd and 3rd chakras, bringing an influx of life force,,sexual and creative energies and assertive will. It is a powerful aid to those who wish to build confidence,passion and power within themselves. It is of great help to those GENTLE SOULS who wish for good things but have difficulty making them happen.

Often those who lean in the direction of Spirituality do their work from the heart Chakra up, ignoring the untidy realms of physical existence associated with the first three chakras. This is an error which can make  one ineffectual and passive in one's life. Without the vitality of Physical Energies, one can neither enjoy life nor have much power over it. Carrying it or wearing Carnelian can aid in awakening the vital areas of the three lower chakras, increasing the zest for living and take the risks inherent in all strong actions.

For further grounding at the base chakra,,add a smokey quartz,,maybe an Elestial Smokey Quartz:Powerful infusion from the higher Realms,,Divine Love, angelic communication,Grounding the Higher Self in Earthly Life.

Hmm,,also good for deep seated bone work..

Also a Orange Calcite, would be invigorating and also excellent for joint/tendons.Hold on area,directly on the skin..Get a rough one, they really shift. This one you will find works quickly for strained tendons..

Tashina, I hope this will strike a cord..Gentle Healer.

Tashina, Yes, I feel that we share a similar path of Healing/Shifting with each other and the Earth. And it is a Gift to be shared freely.I am absolutely delighted to find a kindred spirit.

The stones and crystals ease my pain and suffering as my body is very literally shifting with these energies.Hold me in their soothing vibrations as I hold them i my hand. But I scared myself quite brillantly and put them away for a while.

My suffering was a brillant plan as I forced myself to accept My Gifts..I hurt so bad.And the stones worked so well that I just did not say much in my old habitual stoic way. My Indian face.

Finally my Barbara noticed and I shared, then she noticed that the amethyst clusters that so helped me sleep, and that she had had 20yrs or more had GROWN. And likewise the rough natural deep fluorite cluster had a new cube. The fluorite is clearing you know,and you use it to clear other stones you work with,,by clearing I mean smoothing the way,,not erase. Cannot erase energy,,But we can learn to transmute it.

Barbara of course was ahead of me on this curve,had studied and collected along the way to me. She knew they are Magical.

Once I started sharing I immediately felt a whole lot saner, though I am only now finding sane answers to the other experiences I had thru those extreme times..And it is also by sharing.

THEN I got all the stones out and played with them..Bathed with them and still sleep with an ever changing assortment.

First I freaked myself,though.

AND also the lesson I learned today about the Dark and the Light. Our friend Jim who is full Blooded Indian brought us groceries today and noticed my cat pictures,,from the times of my dark Shaman. And said he alway wished to draw like that..I told him I started with pencil and paper and the words of a friend.

It is all about contrast, the dark defines the light. To see what is there we have needed the dark to define us, to show us who we are. And I wondered about my home town of Red Bluff and the entire County of Tehama went dark last night. The storm that brought us snow hit them with clearing winds and rain.

And I wondered who,what Light was shining there in the Dark in my home town.

And I saw the dark path taken by my Crazy little dear Kickapoo friend and I understood more.

His Path defined mine more clearly. He was very earthy and worked hard to everyone he could grounded into the physical..So he worked on the base chakra in extreme ways. I simply by passed his sexual nature approach as mine was not so inclined..

His work on base chakra was a valuable piece of the puzzle..Important work to ground us into our bodies,,We are taking our bodies with us..It is just a quest of how we choose to transmute?..For as I keep hearing,WE are Spiritualizing the physical. Not escaping..we have worked hard to make this our home.

We got as dense as we could as the Universe expanded from the big bang of creation, some of us were there as the Earth cooled and the vibration lowered, we sank into denseness by choice and stayed with the Earth.

Now we are headed back, as the Vibration rises with the Cosmic energies and the Earth Warms(think microwave oven) coming in though the crown chakra,,we are grounding it into the Earth..Anchoring ourselves and the Earth…. And moving on up.

And more to the story of our friend Jim. I had gotten an urgent sounding call,,the ring tone sounded urgent,a call from Cynthia,his wife who shops for us..She has a sore throat, and chest stuff going on,,,and so does her whole family and everyone she knows..Jim had this last wk,,ahead of the curve.And he went thru emotional clearing,heart chakra and is now fine.

Cynthia is a kindred spirit and was open to the stones. She came for a job interview and went right to a 30 lb Apophyllite w/Stilbite cluster and laid both palms on and said,AH.

I told Cynthia I would send stones to work with her and told her to smudge,incense or sage..And grabbed Carnelians for clearing, pale blue angelwing agate to cool the throat chakra and for the Higher Heart Chakra we are growing a few other small tumbled stones that came in my hand,,,and a big smokey elestrial Quartz for the base chakra to bring that energy down…Crown to the feet..ah, hand and feet chakras are pink.

Ah,and to my mind came the Yellow Jasper Wand, that had come instead of the Orange Calcite I had ordered..Yellow Jasper is like a brother to Carnelian,,but a little more earthy.More for the lower lungs and below to the navel,,liver,,hm.Better tell Cynthia to add some dandylion tea,,she does that anyway.

And the thing is I also grabbed a worn rabbit skin pelt put the stones in with a note and tied it off with a deer skin thong.

As this big handsome Indian man drove off I wondered about how I in this white skinned form came to be handing him such a thing. And blessed myself for being able and willing to share.

And once I had accepted the Gift of the Stones working with me,,the showed up every which way.

A Friend Raven sent so many wonderful stones and crystals that we maybe going to do a DVD on working with them..They shift for her and work their magic. Maybe when our Texas friends make it here in a few wks,,they can teach me how to use the mic. and camera ,,I just discovered last night..

And I can do lessons and show at least this face I wear for the Stones on-line.Be seeing you..off to bed..Love and Light,,sage

Diana, Thank you for the encouragement. And I intend to have all the family I can find with me when that happens. My Twin Star Barbara holds the energy, stabilizes me. I could not imagine what my life would be without her.

oops,lost a post.back later to post, have to make fire and some eggs/coffee and ??
