“As we progressed around the table, the next friend to speak was Brenda, wearing her beautiful Lapis Lazuli stone necklace.  Brenda indicated that nothing much had changed in her life.  She shared that there had been some upheavals in her family (nothing new to the group) and that she had pretty much stayed out of the family fray.  Other than that all was progressing along in her life – no changes, no discoveries, and no guitar lessons!

Hmmm – Lapis Lazuli is the Stone of Peace.  As I checked my notes, I realized that Lapis Lazuli, as the Stone of Peace, simply and subtly aids in releasing stress and is a very protective stone, assisting in active listening and understanding of situations.  Could it be that Brenda was not in the “family fray” due to the subtle energy of Lapis Lazuli?

I began to see that sometimes the stone energies and their impact may not be as obvious as my earlier experience had indicated.  Or, perhaps, Brenda was simply not as sensitive to the stone.  Could it be that some individuals are simply not as energy sensitive as others?”

“Tourmaline, the Stone of Inspiration creates an energy pattern of enlightenment.  This energy pattern, when acknowledged and supported through clarity of thought and action, brings about incredible inspiration and understanding.

An attraction to Tourmaline indicates a desire to understand more – to be inspired more – by life, by spirit, and by connections both on this plane and on others.  The support provided by Tourmaline is akin to the support of the rafters in a house in that they connect all parts of the house to create a strong and healthy whole.  The subtle energy of Tourmaline supports the wearer in this fashion – connecting all aligning all parts of self.

Those drawn to Tourmaline are seeking alignment with all of their selves – both in the present life, prior lifetimes, and those segments of self that remain in Spirit.”

“Turquoise – the Stone of Strength supports the wearer (or anyone in its presence) with the energy of self-actualization and healing.  As the Stone of Strength, Turquoise’s primary purpose is to support our energy systems, through its subtle energy, in such a manner that we are able to more easily heal our body and souls.  It is for this reason many Native American tribes highly valued Turquoise and all that it brought to them. 

An attraction to Turquoise speaks to a need to heal – a knowingness that such healing will bring about a better life.  The healing that those attracted are aware of most likely is from events that occurred in prior lives and that may or may not be playing out in the current life time. 

Turquoise, due to its strength of purpose and energetic patterns, is most frequently aligned to past lives and lifetimes.  As such, Turquoise is also supportive in dispelling negative energy from the ethers, most often those created in another lifetime.  A draw to turquoise is a call for awareness of what to heal and how to heal it.  The stone can only support the wearer to a certain level – beyond that it is the intention of the individual that produces the healing.”

“So I headed home with the draft of my plan in my possession and more than a few reservations.  Was I enough to accomplish this?  What type of Spiritual Guidance would I receive?  Was I really intended to be a change maker and leave the “village” and strike off on my own?  And what if I did not find that wonderful valley – what if, in real life, I was unsuccessful?

As all of these thoughts crossed my mind, I realized that I did, indeed, want to pursue this dream of mine.  That, given our plan as it was, I did not need to make any significant decisions for quite a few months as I became more educated and aware of what this new life might look like.  With these thoughts and a plan that was in excess of 18 months long, I realized it would benefit me to have a talisman as a continual reminder of where I was headed and for support along the way.

A talisman….what might I choose as this reminder?  It had to be inconspicuous (I was not ready to share my plan with more than a couple of my close friends); it had to be easy to have with me; and I had to like having it in my possession.”
