Monthly Crystal Knowledge



Do you, like me, sometimes get confused because there are so many crystals that have so many magical and healing qualities - which do you choose?!

I am definitely not a great expert on crystals, what I do know I have read or gained information from much more knowledgeable friends! I try and find the ones I like the most and concentrate on them and so I'm afraid my crystal repertoire seems very small by comparison to the vast array of types available. So how do you choose which crystals are for you and your collection?

When I see crystals on sale in shops and stalls it reminds me of pick and mix (sweeties!) you pick the ones you love because you know what they are like then ocasionally you'll try a new type because you like the look of it but mostly you stick to your favourites! (I guess the same can be said about many things in life!)

One of the things I love about crystals (and hence the sweetie metaphor) is their colours. In crystal healing, colour is the main key to how the crystal heals. We appreciate their colours as an attractive adornment yet sometimes forget that this represents the life force of the crystal - the level of energy.

This energy stimulates the brain, altering the way we think and feel, as well as our physical well-being. Our reaction to colour is instinctive and cannot be controlled. But if we learn the effects of each colour, we will begin to understand why we are drawn to some stones more than others. This will help us choose the right crystal for every situation.

Many crystals appear in more than one colour. This is because some crystals may contain a few extra atoms of a different element which can distort the internal structure and change the colour we perceive.

Experts discover the true colour of a crystal by a streak test. This involves scraping the crystal against an unglazed ceramic tile to leave a fine dust of particles, revealing the crystal's underlying colour.

Basic colour qualities:
Black - grounding
Brown - enabling
Red - energizing
Orange - releasing
Yellow - organising
Green - balancing
Blue - communication
Indigo - cooling
Violet - integrating
Pink - accepting
White - cleansing
Clear - clarifying

MEXICO: Fears of a global swine flu pandemic grew with new infections in the United States and Canada, and millions of Mexicans hid indoors to avoid a virus that has already killed103 people. The World Health Organization has declared the flu a “public health emergency of international concern” that could become a pandemic, or global outbreak of serious disease. A pandemic would deal a major blow to a world economy already suffering its worst recession in decades.

The death toll in Mexico from an outbreak of a new type of swine flu has risen to 103 people, Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova said on Sunday. Cordova told Mexican television that around 400 people were in hospital out of a total of around 1,600 suspected cases.

The outbreak of a new strain of flu in Mexico in the last few days has stoked fears of a global epidemic as new cases cropped up in the United States and Canada. Possible infections are also being checked in Europe, Israel and New Zealand. “The most recent reports we have are of 1,614 cases, with 103 deaths, and we still have around 400 patients in hospital,” Cordova told the Televisa network, explaining that around two-thirds of the sick patients had recovered. Millions of Mexicans stayed indoors at the weekend or ventured out wearing surgical masks, especially in Mexico City where the government stopped public events and shut museums, bars and stadiums closed to try and contain the virus.
The flu which broke out in Mexico and found in the US is now being found in many other countries. The traditional media and sources have a few guidelines for prevention which I will site here.Once again, there is no need to panic. You are going to be seeing headlines spreading fear everywhere. There is no need to panic.
.
1. WASH YOUR HANDS
According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the avian influenza virus is easier to destroy than other influenza viruses. It appears that it is very sensitive to detergents — i.e., soap — which destroy the outer fat-containing layer of the virus. This layer is needed to enter cells of animals and, therefore, destroys the infectivity. So, when you have been in public places, use soap to wash your hands before touching your face. I’m not talking getting all Howard Hughes about it, but teach your family to keep their hands washed! A few times a day!
DRINK TONS OF WATER
8 glasses a day removes toxins inside the cells and organs. Remember, coffee, sodas and juices are liquids, but not water!
GET SOME REST
What a foreign concept. The world won’t stop spinning if you miss a few days of work. Your body needs to go to sleep early and sleep deeply, undisturbed. This is the time your body recharges and detoxifies. You cannot catch up on sleep.
GARGLE WITH DILUTED APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
This will kill any germ. Also use for salad dressing.
ADD SOME SEA SALT
Salt kills critters. Think of how your great grandparents cured their meat in the days before refrigerator.
GET SUNSHINE OR COD LIVER OIL
Vitamin D increases your body’s natural infection fighting process.
KEEP COLLODIAL SILVER ON HAND
A great broad spectrum anti everything.
BUY SOME EYCALYPTIS SPRAY
Breathing this stuff in will kill any critter in the sinuses and lungs.
LAY OFF SUGAR! Germs feed off it!
OIL CHANGE
Coconut Oil has anti-viral lipids!

Thought For The Week

Mind Garden Pictures, Images and Photos
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just within some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Nelson Mandela

Cooking with herbs requires self-control:
Add too much and you'll crush other flavors.
Add too little (or none at all) and your dish will taste bland.
So start with a little and then gradually increase the amount so that you achieve proper proportions.
The tips below will help. And be sure to check out our visual guide to fresh herbs.

TIPS:

Stand tall
Choose herbs that are erect and can be held upright without limping or drooping. Leaves ought to be vibrantly colored and without brown spots, and their scent should be strong and fresh-smelling.

Store away
To help herbs last a few days longer, refrigerate them. Flat leaves or small stems can be gently wrapped in a damp paper towel and then sealed in a plastic bag. If you have larger quantities or for bigger herbs, like a bunch of basil, stand them upright in a glass filled with water before refrigerating.

The dry alternative
Try to use fresh herbs and not the dried versions, but if you do substitute dried herbs, the general rule of thumb is one teaspoon dried for one tablespoon chopped fresh.

The end
When using fresh herbs in a recipe, add them at the end so the heat doesn't destroy their flavour.
