Named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, because of its luminous moon-like glow,
translucent white Selenite has an ethereal quality, and is said to inhabit the space between light and matter.

White selenite has a very fine vibration and brings clarity of mind, and is great for working on the upper chakras, ie the crown(top of
head) and brow(between eyes)  and for clearing the body’s aura of negative energy.

Using a Wand

Light and energy pass through the wand, flowing from the thicker end and focusing to the tip. So pointed away from the body a wand
will tend to draw energy away, and pointed towards the body will tend to channel energy in.

1.Point the Selenite wand to the brow or crown chakra to send light
energy in and awaken/activate them.

2.To clear the body’s aura and protect from negativity you can wave the
wand in a sweeping motion around the body
(not touching the body, but about 30 cm away) 3 to 4 times.

3.To release a negative block from the physical body use the wide
fluorite end to massage or rub the affected area, this will draw the
energy out, and the massaging action will physically relax the muscles in the
affected area.

Labradorite, a silvery gray stone, displays beautiful flashes of iridescent blue, green and yellow. Visually this has got to be one of my favorite stones. This stone gets its name after being discovered in Labrador, Canada in 1770. Gem quality labradorite is found in Finland and is referred to as Spectrolite.
Labradorite is a highly mystical and protective stone aligning physical and mental bodies to access spiritual purpose. The iridescent flashes jolt you to reveal your spiritual destiny and promote wise use of you psychic abilities on your journey. In healing this iridescence acts as a reflective shield, protecting the aura of the wearer.
Labradorite is said to bring relief from depression and hopelessness, instilling hope and self-confidence. It does this by dispelling negativity and bringing clarity of thought and understanding.
Associated with the brow chakra (third eye) labradorite helps us shift awareness outside the normal range, and encourages us to embrace new ideas and opportunities.

How to Change Your Life

by Denise Ryan

This article gives you eight powerful steps to changing your life. Want things to be different for you? Start here.

As a new year begins or a major birthday approaches, people start thinking about their lives. They sometimes are disappointed by where they are and want to be somewhere else. The things they want are not easy to get – if they were, they would already have them. So how does one set about changing one’s life?

1.) Realize it is up to you. Period. No one is going to do the work for you. You may be able to get some help along the way, but this is completely up to you.

2.) Pick three things only. No more. I know, I know – there’s the bucket list. Here’s my thought on that – why overwhelm yourself? When you accomplish one goal you can add another. But if you list 100 things it’s easy to lose focus and get distracted – doing a little here and a little there. An important part of this is prioritizing your desires. What are the three things you want most now?

3.) I know this is so overused, but think outside your own box. Try to get to the core of things. Why do you want to lose weight? To be healthier? To look better? Do you want to look better because you want to be loved? Is losing weight the right goal or is meeting more people a better goal? What is the most important thing to you? Here’s a list of possible values: http://www.fbpandassociates.com.au/pdf/List-of-Values.pdf . There are many others available online.

To find the right life for you, you have to know what is most important to you at your very core. What is most important to me is freedom. It’s taken me a long time to really understand that, and it may take you a while to get to your core values, but the only way you can be happy is by living your life according to YOUR values – no one else’s.

4.) Write them down and be as specific as you can. Examples:

I want to pay off all my debt by the end of 20XX.

I want to run a mile by the end of February.

I want to go to Australia by 20XX.

Writing them down is crucial as is having a deadline. If reading them doesn’t fill you with excitement, you have the wrong goals. You will know in your gut the goals that are right for you. When I was planning my goals for this past year, I usually include a big trip somewhere. This year it felt right to me to forgo the trip and pay off my mortgage. It wasn’t very exciting, but it has made me very happy. Remember my freedom value? Now that I don’t have a house payment, I am much more free. I don’t have to be as worried about work – I will have a roof over my head. The house payment is an obligation I no longer have. Live according to YOUR values and you will be much happier. These goals are all about you, not the world. You may feel all this pressure to get married or to lose weight, but if you aren’t excited by those goals, let them go. This is your life we are charting.

5.) You can change your mind at any time. If you start researching your trip to Australia and decide you’d rather just go to New Zealand – that’s okay. Or if you decide you want to push a deadline back, that’s okay too. Changing your mind is not the same as giving up. You give up if you still really want the goal but you got lazy and quit working toward it. That leads to regret – I don’t want you to have regrets. Just give yourself more time.

6.) If you aren’t making progress, regroup. Are you doing the right things? Maybe you need to do some research or ask for help. I see people in the gym all the time fooling themselves that they are working out; women lifting 5 lb. dumbbells wondering why they don’t have great arms. They need to get a trainer, a book, a video – they aren’t working hard enough to get the results they want. Or their form is so bad they might as well be sitting at home watching TV. This can be true with any change. You’re trying hard, but need more information.

7.) Build in some cool rewards. If you lose 10 pounds, treat yourself to a spa visit. Losing 10 pounds is hard! Choose rewards that will keep you working toward the goal and give them to yourself! Most of us are great at beating ourselves up, but awful at rewarding ourselves. Do it!

8.) Take some action toward your goal every day, even if it is small. Little things add up. They also help build momentum for bigger things. With the mortgage, I had been making extra payments for years. But when I wrote down the goal to pay it off, it made me really think about how I could do it, what it would be like to have no house payment! I took all the trip money , some savings and BLAM – did it. But it was all those little extra payments that helped me get there.

Stop reading this and figure how who the hell you really are and exactly what you want. Write it down. Make it happen. Or don’t – it’s completely up to you.

The Power of Presence

by Audrey Mairi

All around us is a life-giving, life-regulating power that always has been and always will be. Called the Life Force, it is the active aspect of the intelligence that is the Source of all life. The most healing, empowering, and creative act we can do for ourselves is to consciously connect to this force, which can only be experienced in the present moment. In the present moment connection is automatic.

Such a connection is not intellectual; it is a feeling. Having a mental understanding of the subject merely points the way to the experience; it is not the experience itself. “You can’t try to get it,” Dr. Milton Trager, developer of the TragerÒ Approach, said. “…to try is to fail. You don’t try. To try is effort and effort is tension. We don’t try. We just allow it to happen.”

This is a paradigm shift. Most are caught up in trying, in exerting as much effort as they can to get their desired outcome. Few have learned how to not try. They have no experience of what effortlessness feels like, and therefore even less experience being connected to the Life Force. People who consciously connect to the Life Force describe it as a feeling of peace, or lightness of being. Others use words such as stability, joy, empowerment, clarity, and a sense of homecoming. But whatever words we put to it, what matters is the feeling in our body/mind.

Trager is a practical approach to living, not just a way to fix pain in the body. Its practicality is its magic. Those who embrace the Trager Approach quickly learn that it works best when applied to all areas of life. For example, when we wash the dishes, or type at a computer, or lay hands on a client’s body, we do the same thing: we allow ourselves to show up in the present moment, and thereby “hook-up” to the feelings inherent in the Life Force. This is where our power comes from, and where lasting healing is accessed.

To foster a connection we use a series of simple tools. These tools can be used anywhere, anytime, and by anyone no matter their physical condition. Dr. Trager called these tools MentasticsÒ (derived from the two words mental gymnastics). In my book, Trager for Self-Healing: A Practical Guide for Living in the Present Moment, I discuss a variety of Mentastics, but for now let’s look at the three most basic ones. They are: 1) pausing, 2) mindful breathing, and 3) feeling the weight.

They sound simple, but when used consistently the effect on our lives is profound. These tools will lead us out of our spinning mind and into a present moment experience where our negativity floats away, leaving peace. Imagine giving a speech and being able to release your anxiety, accessing instead clarity and joy. Imagine letting loose your apprehension over your aging mother’s health, and being able to access love and trust. Imagine after your vacation feeling overwhelmed by a three week back-log of work, then letting it go to be replaced by a sense of stability and lightness.

Before we can consciously connect to the Life Force, the first thing we need to do is apply the breaks to our doing, both in our mind and body, and…pause. Stop talking, stop walking, stop worrying, fretting, controlling, and…pause. A pause helps us to become the observer instead of the reactor. It is a gateway that opens our body/mind to the intelligent life-giving, life-regulating power all around us.

The second thing we do is…breath mindfully. After a pause we put our awareness on our breath, taking our attention from out there and placing it in here. With practice, we become centered, like being at the hub of a wheel. At the hub, our perspective broadens, becoming multifaceted. Our assumptions soften. We awaken to the realization that we are not the pains we feel, or the thoughts we have—they are only one or two spokes of our wheel—but are instead part of an interconnected web of consciousness.

Once we have paused our doing and our thinking and have centered ourselves through mindful breathing, we enter a present moment experience by feeling weight. When we pay attention to the downward pull of gravity we enter into the physicality of the here and now. The next time you are putting the groceries away, doing the dishes, or lifting a hammer, feel the weight as you move the object through space. The next time you are holding the hand of someone you love, pause, breathe, and feel its weight. Rather than holding it up, let it rest in your palm. You will experience a positive life-affirming sensation. This is a present moment experience.

Try it. Right now. Wherever you are.

1. Pause. Let go of reading this article.

2. Become mindful of your breath—like an umbrella opening and closing.

3. Now shift your body from side to side. Feel its weight move through space.

If you use these three simple tools throughout your day you will feel differently. Your awareness of the Life Force flowing through your body/mind will grow and bloom, and in turn so will your empowerment, wellness, and creativity. This is the power of Presence.
