Some Words of Introduction

Stones

Since early childhood I have had an affinity for stones of all types. Here, within the realm of adulthood, my love of stones has blossomed to include studies of the various energetic attributes of assorted crystals, gems and minerals and the effects they can have on our well-being, our relationships, our lives.
Several of my closest and dearest friends also relate significantly to our earthy chunks of beauty. I think we agree that their influence is signicicant enough for further exploration, study and practice.
From 'worry stones' in your pocket to hot stone massage, salt scrubs and mud baths to the jewels on the breastplate of Moses and his brother Aaron, and the crowns of European royalty, the rings, pins, bracelets, pendants and baubles bedecking so many of us today, we humans have for milennia made the earth element an important and beneficial part of our lives.

Herbs

So too, and even more biologically imperative is our relationship with herbs. The importance of herbs surpasses their ability to season our food. The health benefits of herbs constitute the first and foremost vitamin supplements of mankind and are often used thusly to this day.
Within this blog we shall examine various stones and assorted herbs and discuss some of their properties.

ETC.

This forum will not stop with these two topics. we will look at how they can relate and work together toward achieving a desired result. Also we will include information on essential oils, Angels, and just about anything else that comes up and seems appropriate. Reader input is welcomed and encouraged.

A FRESH LOOK AT INTIMACY

I recommend reading the posting by Douglas LaBier at the link included here.
His interview on Huff Post Live was a disaster. The moderator allowed additional participants to take control and walk all over the interview, so it was difficult to get anything out of it. I was tantalized by the concept though, and tracked down this article by Dr. LaBier and I'm glad I did.
Pointing out the difference, in the interview, between honesty and transparency was an interesting enlightenment.
Honesty, the way we humans use it in this age, can be wielded as a weapon of cruelty and manipulation. Transparency is soul-revealing non-judgmental sharing, requiring full participation by both parties.
Transparency, practiced in this way within an intimate relationship, can lead to greater and deeper intimacy and fulfillment.
Healing ourselves often requires healing work within a relationship as well. Not to be selfish about it, and not to seek to change the other, but either the intimacy is right, or it is something to let go of. Letting go can also be an important step in healing.
I say this in this context, but it is also important to let go of belief in dis-ease in order to overcome its manifestation.
