Transformation


When I first began my journey with the Stone Beings I looked outside the connection with them to “experts” to learn about them.  I didn’t realize that my best teachers were right there in the very relationship between myself and the Stone Beings.  I didn’t trust myself.  I didn’t trust what I was receiving as being real.  I didn’t believe that I already had what I needed in order to place myself among the many beautiful souls who worked with the Stone Beings far longer than this new comer.  I had no idea that it was my very inexperience which allowed me to have such a deep connection with them.  I hadn’t labelled them yet.  I hadn’t formed any judgements yet.  I was open to the stones as they were.  It wasn't until after I sought out the experts and read all the Crystal Healing books that I learned that I already had within me all that I needed to have beautiful connections with the stones.  I learned that the best teachers were the stones themselves.

I’d known all this for some time.  I’d believed it in my soul, but yet my website was not reflecting my heart.  How could it.  If I didn't fully embrace the truth of who I was, then how could I expect to show this truth to anyone else.  I still predominately displayed the metaphysical properties from the “experts” on the website.  And I’m not saying that these expert opinions are not true or valid.  They come from a very real connection with the stone beings.  But they are just one very small part of what is there.  These descriptions only skim the surface of a pool that runs so deep you’ll likely never see the bottom.  Plus they come from a single - specific perspective.  One person with one crystal(s).  This same person may receive something else entirely on a different day or with a different group of the same stone.  Sure I included the songs that came through my personal connections with the Stone Beings, but I was not speaking aloud my own personal thoughts and beliefs which came from my experience with them.  That changes now.

Having a connection with a stone being is not different than any relationship with any other being.  You know that you can be a very different person depending on who you are with.  Your boss or coworker may describe you completely differently than your best friend or spouse.  Your children may be surprised to discover aspects of your character they never knew about, because they had a very specific view of who you are based on the kind of relationship they had with you.  As no two people are exactly alike, each of our relationships is unique.  So if you believe, as I do, that the stone beings are conscious beings, then it won’t be hard to believe that each of these stone beings has their own unique character and they may reveal different parts of themselves to different people, depending on the relationship that develops.

Sure it may seem to be easier to choose a stone based on the metaphysical qualities you find in a book.  Though even that might become confusing if you look at more than one book - because they each have their own opinions.  But truly what could be easier than choosing the stone that you are most drawn to, despite whether, according the the book you’re reading, it will serve your specific purpose - or match up with your astrological sign.  The best relationships happen through a type of magic that defies the mind’s linear reasonings.  

How can we be so open to the magic of the stone beings and yet be so pulled into linear, logical reasons when choosing them and connecting with them.  I’ll tell you why.  Because it is easier to follow the book than to trust our own inner wisdom.  We were raised in a world that convinced us not to trust ourselves - from our basic material needs to our deepest physical, emotional and spiritual well being.  We’re taught to ignore our own inner knowings and seek out the experts.  It doesn’t seem to phase us that these experts change their opinions on an hourly basis.

We can seek out the Stone Beings for what they can do for us ... for what they can heal in us ... for what benefit they can bring to us.  At the deepest level, a true connection with the Stone Beings is about a relationship.  About being with a wise soul who in their very presence supports us in seeing something beautiful within ourselves.  It is like the difference between being with someone for what they can do for you - or being with a close friend because you cherish their company.  Both are very real experiences that offer us something.  One heals on the surface while the other penetrates deep into our core and shifts our whole being.  One is fleeting - the other eternal.  There is no right or wrong here.  There is no judgement - especially from the Stone Beings.  It is about choice ... about what type of experience you wish to have.  What kind of relationship you are wanting to enter into.
