Alternative Wisdom

We do not stop playing because we grow old;

We grow old because we stop playing.

You have a good heart; a good soul  and you run your self ragged doing things for other people.  You often think to yourself that you are taken for granted.   Ask your self this question:  "Would they do this for me?"

The rhyme or prayer below was often recited by Nan and I believe it is a traditional Irish blessing.  How she came to sing it to me is a mystery other than the fact that my Nan was a great story teller.

 

May there always be work for your hands to do;

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

 

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

CRYSTALS

I love having Crystals around my home and although I am not an expert I use the following Crystals.  When buying Crystals I have often been told that you don't choose the Crystal the Crystal chooses you!  If you like crystals you will instinctively probably buy the one that is right for you.

AMETHYST - THE STONE OF CONTENTMENT

This Crystal creates a sense of peace and is good for meditation.  Its properties help to balance the nervous system and is suppose to protect us from negative energies. The Amethyst relieves insomnia and mental stress and calms the nerves and temper. 

I like to use in the home to protect against low-level electro-magnetic fields by placing next to microwave, mobile phone and television sets.  Amethyst works well to create tranquility and calm and I like to put them in the bedrooms especially when my grandchildren stay with us.  In tune with the zodiac signs of Aquarius, Capricorn, Pisces and Virgo.

ROSE QUARTZ - THE LOVE STONE

Good for emotional healing restores balance and calm in relationships.  Will absorb harmful vibrations. Stimulates mental ability and inspires creativeness. In tune with the zodiac signs of Libra and Taurus.

MALACHITE - THE STONE OF STABILITY

This stone is one of my favourites it eases depression can help balance the hormonal system. For me its biggest attribute is that it reduces swelling and inflammation. This is achieved by gently rubbing the malachite stone over the affected area. In tune with the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Scorpio. 

CRYSTALS IN THE HOME

  • Anywhere: Clear Quartz
  • Bedroom:   Amethyst, Rose Quartz
  • Dining Room:  Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise, Quartz
  • Kitchen: Aventurine, Sunstone, Quartz  
  • Lounge:  Lapis Lazuli, Turquoise
  • Study: Aventurine, Citrine, Golden Topaz

In my home I have rose and amethyst crystals in my bedroom.  In the other bedrooms I have amethyst.  The Kitchen, lounge and conservatory I have amethyst.  In my office I have aventurine and I often carry a malachite crystal.

When you buy your crystal make sure to clean it so that there are no traces of other people and do not encourage anyone to handle your crystal as they often pick up other peoples vibes good or bad.  You do not want the bad vibes being passed over to you. (details of cleaning to follow)

FENG SHUI

I have been on several one day courses for Feng Shui and have found this subject fascinating.  However the simplest rules to follow are to declutter and quite often without having any knowledge we quite often places things in the right place mostly because it feels right. (expand)
