Celesite – Peridot Inner Wisdom Crystals 

Celestine, Sulphur :: Locality: La Grasta mine...
Image via Wikipedia

When our inner voice speaks, all is seen, all is known and healing through personal growth freely flows, reality, placebo or desire for mystery who knows?

All I know is that Celesite in Sulphur and Peridot inner wisdom healing wraps certainly appear to work very well, albeit my position is based wholly upon my own empirical observations and of course feedback from clients.

Read more about perhaps why inner wisdom wraps, grids, pendants and wands work by clicking [ here ]

But what are they used for you may ask? Well; Celesite and Peridot inner wisdom wraps and grids aid with; lifting ones mood and stimulating ones inner sense of self worth whilst engendering great self belief. But here in more detail are just some of their unique properties.

Celesite and Peridot Properties

Celesite:- celesite in sulphur as per image above helps to ever so gently promote great inner strength and hence an enormous inner peace. It is said to help still the mind and therein help in dispersing worries and promoting mental clarity. I used this combination a lot in my youth to help balance my lower chakras and I was always aware that when I had celesite about my person that it reduced any tendency I may have had for self-destruction. Which is very useful when ones lower chakras are a little low on vitality.

Peridot:- is also a powerful cleanser, helping to remove resentment, spite, bitterness, irritation, hatred, jealously, greed and obsessions from ones life.  Whilst in the process opening ones heart to love, joy and new ideas and relationships. Peridot also propagates confidence via self belief and motivation which enables one to take responsibility for ones own life.

How I use My Own Inner Wisdom Wraps and Grids

I find a quiet place where I can hold my wrap or grid whilst connecting with my higher self and therein allow my crystals to do their work. Such that when I work with my Celesite in Sulphur and Peridot wrap or grid I simply allow my self to draw the living flame of light into my solar-plexus and allow that to gently work it’s way up and through my heart. A process of self healing which always creates a great sense of warmth and inner security within me.

That being said; I’ve always found this to be a very powerful yet very gentle crystal combination to work with and one which has the potential to truly lift ones soul at points of personal crisis or indeed simply at a personal crossroads. In summation; I actually love the way that this special combination helps create a sense of well being and with ease and all within a very gentle and heartening angelic embrace.

Just so you know I will be writing more articles about my favourite combinations over the coming weeks and months and also about my role as a shaman, in terms of shamanic soul healing, medicine and wisdom. However in the interim period there are lots and lots of healing combinations and my preferred healing crystal supplier is Ahimsa Crystals.

I’m Always Wary of Extremists and Their Views

The Lord is my Good Shepherd

Image via Wikipedia

It’s a fine balancing act between the ego and ones higher self

Saturday, it’s cold and I’m not feeling to great but I have to go into town because I have a problem with my mobile phone. I walk by a guy standing motionless behind a sign, handing out business cards to which I say; “no thanks”.

Phone dropped off, replacement in pocket, walk by guy the guy behind the sign again, he offers me a business card again, I stop and take a double take. Hmnnnnn what are you selling dude I ask. At which point the guys goes into an over the top Baptist hard sell theme, explaining that god is very angry, not just angry but very, very angry indeed.

I let the guy rattle on for about 2 or 3 minutes and then I stop him and say; “to be honest I love passion, can’t stand dogma, if you won’t to win hearts dude drop the anger and try a little bit more love”.

At that point a guy from the wings approaches and asks; “which church are you two from because I’m getting a calling” whilst continually looking at me. Baptist guy tells him which church he worships at, whilst the guy keeps looking at me, but I say absolutely nothing.

Guy from the wings leaves the scene promptly, Baptist guys says; “isn’t it strange how those things happen”, I reply; “not at all they happen all the time, all one needs is to be open and receptive”.

Baptist guys then says; “where were we at?” I say; “I was just about to bid you good day” at which point Baptist guy says hope to see you church one day soon. I smile and simply say to the guy; “in your dreams, but please do explore the root cause of your anger and when you’ve found and dealt with it perhaps we can have a real conversation, until then softy, softly does it dude, yes?”.

Okay here’s the dilemma; did I drift into my own ego and think the guy from the wings was actually attracted by my energy, o yes got me hook line and sinker there. Fortunately my higher self played a vital blocking role there by stopping my ego from being consumed by the situation completely.

Was the guy from the wings actually a stooge all part of a very clever game, who knows? But as I ran the script over again whilst walking back to my car, it certainly felt that way to me. But hey who knows, all I know is that the incident intrigued, stimulated and amused me and put a slightly different twist upon a journey I’d rather not have had to make. So there you go, there’s always something new for us to candidly explore, even when simply participating in run of the mill tasks.

Authors Concluding Notes

I think the moral of this experience is that when the ego is in play, it’s all to easy to ignore one’s higher self. That’s why learning the balance between accepting and overriding its divine intervention, takes many years to perfect. I’m certainly well short of where I’d like to be, right now, still work in progress I’d say.

Is god angry? Well as far as I’m concerned god isn’t angry, for if he was than there would be no love or light at all in this world. I think the thing we must remember when exploring the god force with fellow mortals is that it means some many things to many different kinds of peoples. Perhaps that’s where the anger originates from who knows?

All I know is; god is great, god is love and god is also very angry depending upon which mortal is explaining their belief structures to you. I personally don’t have a problem with anyones free will to believe in and what they choose to believe in. I do however get extremely nervous when their polarity of expression deviates greatly from where I want to be.

Okay where do you want to be dude you may ask. To which my answer would be; in a place where mutuality of intent is universally systemic and where love and peace balance out agitation and anger sublimely. For that is the aspirational god force I personally seek, a place where ones soul feels truly at home.

My Life’s Spiritual Metaphor – Holding a Candle in a Coal Mine

English: Coal mining. Illustration from The Gr...

Image via Wikipedia

I was explaining to someone recently just how I felt about my own spiritual path and the isolation I’ve felt including the utter nonsense that I’ve experienced during that journey.

In explaining my position I used this simple metaphor; “I feel as if I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by darkness with only my own bright light helping to keeping me going, in fact it’s a bit like being the only candle in a deep dark coal mine”.

Now look I come from “deep pit and mining stock and hence from a coal mining lineage” and so I understand the absurdity of using a candle for light in a methane saturated coal mine. What’s more only families like mine understand in totality the sheer brutality of coal mining, which is forever engrained upon our hearts and our DNA.  For we fully appreciate the price paid by our historical methane saturated miners and the families they left behind. Especially those of our historical DNA who worked for greedy and malicious mine owners, who refused to invest in safety and Davy lamps etc. Until that was; the Davy lamp and safety management became not state of the art, but mandatory.

Nevertheless greed, intolerance and ignorance in refusing to accept things that are sometimes morally indefensible and hence utterly reprehensible are systemic failings that most mortals suffer from most of their mortality. It’s those very failings which actually lead to the spawning of my seemingly ever perplexing life’s metaphor, where a case of; horse to water and drinking continually springs to my often overactive mind.

You see; I feel I’ve been engaged in a role almost all of my life, a role that was designed to keep fellow mortals safe whilst guiding through places and situations racked with immense risk and danger. Such as I sit there in the darkness I frequently hear a shout rushing towards me from places of complete desolation ”look, look there, there’s the light, look over there”. At which point maybe one or indeed a bunch of weary fellow mortals quickly approach me.

A situation quickly desensitised by a second shout “no that’s not the light that’s just hardy the prick sitting there with our candle”. Followed by “give it here son that’s not your candle it’s actually ours”. To which I reply; “no guys, no, I’m here to carry the light and to help show you the safest way out” answered by; ” shut up you prick, now give me that candle or I will do you……okay”.

So I surrender my candle and the gang of mortals trudge off into the distance, leaving me all alone in complete and utter darkness. Save for howls of derision about just how big of a prick that I am, as they cackle away into the distance.

Then suddenly there’s an almighty explosion and all I here after that is; “arrrrrrrrr, that’s that prick hardys fault”. Whereupon every numpty from far and wide very easily buys into the script that somehow it was me who was responsible for that explosion or mortal disaster.

The sanity or should I really say the; utter insanity of real life situations like that are enough to drive any fellow mortal into a state of aggravated consternation. For throughout my life I feel I’ve always been damned for doing and paradoxically damned for not doing. It’s like living in some psychotic lose, lose; horror movie.

The moral of this metaphor however is to; simply accept, that majority of mortals that you’re ever likely to meet on your journey won’t get you, understand or accept you. So choose your companions very carefully because let’s face it; mortality is hard enough. Without being damned for doing or paradoxically damned for not doing, because who really needs that sort of utter nonsense in their life continually. Amen

Understanding Begets Acceptance Which Enables Self Protection

Psychic Chasms

Image via Wikipedia

There is no hiding place, from either random or premeditated psychic attacks, so all one can do is self protect.

Thats why I try my level best to protect myself from psychic attack in every area of my existence, simply because and quite frankly I’d be foolish not to do so. But why you may ask and is that not just a little bit over the top? Well no not really, especially if like me you’ve been the subject of random and premeditated psychic attacks all your life. Which often present as a never ending stream of idiotic and utter nonsense being continually thrust into your life. Until that is; you finally reach your personal crisis and ultimate break through.

That crisis situation by default creates a deep sense of realisation, that you’re going to have to get serious about protecting yourself daily. Especially that is if you wish to thrive, prosper and grow. Either that or you’re going to have accept spending your entire life simply engulfed in turmoil and utter nonsense. Most of which in reality is simply not of your making. But let me give you an example of a typical “in my face psychic attack”, therein you’ll have a much better feel for where I’m actually coming from here.

Some years ago now in the middle of an almighty Lymes Disease herx, I found myself sitting in cafe, simply trying to get through the day. When suddenly a bombastic lady perhaps in her late sixties approached my table and whilst jabbing her finger into my shoulder said; “hey, you, you’re sitting at my table” to which my immediate response was to say; “I’m so sorry I will move to another table”.

Her reply was sharp and pointy; “it’s too late I’m sitting over there now, but I sit there every morning at 11am”. I looked at my watch and said; “O okay, but it’s actually 12:45pm”, to which she replied “I know what time it is and I certainly don’t need anyone like you telling me what time it is, just who do you think that you are?”

To be honest I was very ill at the time and I could feel the red mist coming down, at the utter psychosis of this situation that was not of my making and felt I’ve got get out of here before I blow my stack. At which point I looked over to the cafe owner with a view of paying my bill, when to my astonishment I saw that she was just about bent over and almost wetting herself, trying to stop herself from laughing. But at no point had she even considered it right and proper to put that old bat well and truly in her place and it’s the double hit which makes situations like this every so challenging and distasteful.

So as I paid my bill I said to the owner “you don’t want to meet to many people like that in a day”. To which the owner replied; “she can be a bit funny at times” funny I replied; “there’s nothing funny at all about the way she conducts herself she’s rude and highly aggressive”. “Yes she just thinks no one else has to sit at that table” to which I replied; “so any guest coming in here has to run her gauntlet, to be honest you really need to address that Mrs. because it’s simply not on”.

Now in the cold light of day there is some humour in that situation, even for myself and upon reflection. However there’s certainly no humour in it in any way shape or form, if as I was the first party at the time and in that situation. The thing is however, as one becomes more aware of the synchronicity in life, the more one becomes aware of such unsolicited psychotic behaviour and its frequency. Therein such incidents are no longer perceived as random events as they once may have appeared; in fact they’re actually a wakeup call to protect ourselves from such incursions.

For if we don’t protect ourselves from such unsolicited psychotic incursions, therein blocking them from entering our lives. We run the danger of having our energy and our life force continual drained from us. Therefore all we need to do is accept that for enlightened souls, this form of psychic attack is a real phenomenon and simply cannot be shrugged off as a one off or just the way of our modern world.

There is a karmic purpose behind all psychic attacks and that purpose is quite clear and it’s to deflect us from what we’re down here trying to achieve on planet earth. So we have a choice in life which is; do we play the psychic attack game or do we simply abstain.

I’ve learned to abstain from the majority of psychic attack games now albeit the odd one still catches me out from time to time. The good news however is that I’m no longer wide open and therein I can spot the karmic psychopath from a hundred yards these days, which means I don’t have to get embroiled our exhausted by their utter, utter nonsense.

That’s why I recommend all those on the spiritual path to ensure they are protected and self protected at all times. Using crystal griding techniques as well as wearing protective and grounding crystals such as e.g. Black Onyx, Herkimer Diamonds, Amber, Celestine, Garnet, Azeztulite, Danubrite in fact the list is endless.

So if you’re doing nothing else today yet you feel that you’re under constant psychic attack, why not read up on the power, protection and the healing properties of crystals. Who knows; it could be a turning point in your life. Amen

Only Compassion Sets Man apart from the Beasts in the Fields

Taken on June 3, 2004 by Sean Davis http://fli...

Image via Wikipedia

Some years ago whilst resting in Shaftesbury down in Dorset, the result of being desperately and chronically ill with late stage lymes disease and posterior inferior cerebella artery slamming into my brain stem and vestibular bundle. My view on mortality and spirituality were both tested and changed forever. In that my sense of divine intervention or should I say lack of it for the impoverished and desperately ill, was quite simply blown out of the water. A slightly oscillating schizophrenic view that remains unchanged to this present day.

For anyone who has never been to or heard of Shaftesbury in Dorset, it’s a charming little historic old english hill top town. Blessed with welcoming and friendly locals and the iconic gold hill and certainly a delightful place to visit. At the time of my residency in Shaftesbury however, I wasn’t there simply to take in its character. I was there because I was fighting a long battle to regain my well being and I’m not over stating things when I say I was actually fighting for my life.

In the middle of that mortal crisis, I did what I’ve always done throughout the entirety of my life, which is to try my level best to get by and cope without hurting any fellow mortal in the process. So for me and whilst staying in Shaftesbury that meant committing to hours of medical research whilst performing some unsolicited voluntary work for the local swans trust charity in the town. A time when my good friend was Dave the Man in a Hat and his incessantly itchy sheep dog widget, with the frequent cameo role from his step son Jake the dude.

Early one morning however as I set off up pilgrims way I was taken aback by a young man in his early 30′s who was walking towards me. His body or aura should I say was engulfed in a bright white light whereupon he politely said; “good morning and with great warmth”, albeit I could instinctively sense that all was not what it seemed with him. I’d never seen the guy before and was puzzled as to how he seemed to know me. Nevertheless and all that week the young guy crossed my path until one afternoon he came into a cafe near the local charity where I did most of my research.

As he sat down to place his order it was easy to see that he was highly embarrassed, for he was utterly consumed by involuntary head and upper limb jerking movements, life circumstances  which immediately brought tears to my eyes. The strange thing is I tried to resist this feeling of compassion towards him, given that I was in the midst of my own unimaginable 24×7 mortal despair. So I turned my gaze to look at out of the cafe window and onto a small water feature, when suddenly my table was kicked and yet no one was even remotely in the vicinity.

At which point my gaze once more was drawn to the young guy who was now sitting outside, albeit he now had two angelic forms either side of him who were beckoning me to come forward. For a brief moment I was utterly transfixed unsure of my own sanity, until I gave way and approached the young man’s table.

“Hmnnnn hi I stuttered, do you mind if I join you my names Barry and I’m not gay so don’t worry or build your hopes up, but we seemed to have crossed paths several times this week”. At which point he beamed back at me and said “hi my names Benjamin no I mean yes please have a seat”. So I sat down but I have no idea why I said this to him; ” hmnnnn so Benjamin what’s going on and why do you need my help today?”.

At which point he just broke down and said; “O Barry I’m at my wits end, I can’t take anymore, I can’t take anymore of this condition”. How I didn’t burst into tears myself I have no idea because the sheer scale of Benjamin’s suffering simply enveloped my entire being. Yet here was I a guy desperately ill and racked with suicidal thoughts myself, in the presence of a soul at its wits end. I tell you; it doesn’t get any harder than that for a sensitive soul faced with the restrictions of mortality.

I sat with Benjamin for the best part of an hour, he told me about himself, his former addictions, how his mum was a nurse and worried sick about him, whilst I albeit attentive telephoned a good friend at the time who was an internationally recognised herbalist. Whereupon; through a brief discussion with her, managed to persuade her to see Benjamin on an emergency appointment that day.

I must say however, I’ve never ever felt so utterly broken by a situation like that in my life before or indeed since. I don’t know whether that was simply part of the magnitude of Benjamin’s suffering, my suffering and my inability to do anything to change that situation. By that I’m mean my inability to help him right there and then by taking his suffering away. Heavens above and I tell you I don’t think us mortals are designed for such situations and if we are then where is our instructions and coping manual? But enough already I’m starting to ramble.

I walked with Benjamin over to Annett’s surgery for his consultation with her and before parting gave him a hug and my telephone number and told him to call me any time. I then set off back to my own little terraced let down in tan yard lane which meant descending pilgrims way again. As I approached the summit of pilgrim’s way via priory parade, I was aware that two people were standing blocking my access to the path. But as I got nearer to them I was shocked to see that it was the two angelic forms that had beckoned me to Benjamin in the cafe.

As I approached them not a word did they say or indeed any gesture did they make, save for the fact that they simply stood there and smiled at me as I walked past them. When I turned back looking over my shoulder to sneak a double take, I discovered that they had simply disappeared. In that moment and to this day, there was and is no sense of relief, euphoria or elation around any aspect of this experience, simply a sense of unimaginable love and complete and utter desolation.

I never did hear from or ever see Benjamin again for I left Shaftesbury shortly after that for another neurosurgical procedure in Belgium, but in truth that experience still breaks my heart to this day. I know there wasn’t really much I could do for Benjamin given my own desperate condition, but I also know that I didn’t turn my back on his suffering either.

In all humility I’m not sure really what that experience or test was all about, especially at that dreadful time in my own life. I guess it’s just one more in a very long list of extraordinary things I’ve experienced on this mortal journey.

One thing’s for sure and I firmly believe this with all my heart; only those mortals who have felt profound despair for the plight of another whilst gripped within their own mortal crisis. Truly understand mortality in all its frailty, for they have felt love in a way that is simply unimaginable and indeed worlds apart from the mainstream use of that word today.

Therein I’m a big believer in the saying; “you don’t need eyes to see you need vision” I only wish far more mortals truly understood and lived in that zone too, for that too would generate far greater resources on the mortal compassion front and heaven knows that wouldn’t go amiss here on planet earth. Amen

It’s important that I must stress that Benjamin is not the real name of the young man that I met at that time in my life and is simply a name I’ve used to protect his anonymity. In truth I have no idea whether Benjamin ever got through his mortal crisis; I hope he did and that he’s now well and truly in his own space of peace.

I believe in guardian angels just like I believe in so many things that my peers may find ever so challenging. The only area that really pulls on my heart and wobbles my all too real mortal sensitives is that the presence of guardian angels doesn’t always signify a breakthrough or indeed a good old mortal back slapping ending.

Sometimes they simply appear slightly more visibly vibrant within our own 3D realities, to let us see that other mortals are having it far tougher than we are. This I believe is simply their way of moving us out of our pain body and into our glory, with a bit of a prompt to say; “hey dude stop complaining, you’re not here to stand still you’re here to evolve and grow, now kindly get on with that but with a little less of the poor me drama……okay?”.

When We Understand We Accept and Let Go

During my life I’ve spent many lonely years simply trying to understand why I felt like such a complete and utter alien.

However it wasn’t that I actually did or thought completely wacky things etc, etc, etc, it was more really about how I perceived and lived my very ordinary mortality.

However things really began to change for me on so many fronts the result of life changing karmic events which I know now to be nothing more than aspects of my own personal ascension process. Because joy upon joy I reached a point of critical mass whereupon it became clear that I wasn’t strange or on my own at all. Indeed far from it, for I was actually one of the 1960’s Starseed generation.

Now for a starseed living as a mortal life is no easy way of being for sure, simply because the trials and personal ascension process can often appear to be never ending. A personal reality which can simply drive one insane if you’re not supported or careful about how you approach this. However I’m fortunate to have been blessed with the resolve to stick with my own ascension process and because of that; these days I do precisely what I’m here to do on earth as a starseed.

You see; as a light worker I’m here to help support and awaken other dormant members of my universal startseed community and because of that I accepted that my mission here on earth is actually very simple. I’m here to provide hope, guidance and healing as and where I can and do that in every area of my existence.

These days I’m most grateful for all of my blessings and simply love working as the person I was born to be. I guess thats why I feel that I’m such a lucky guy now and do you know what? After all I’ve been through including; all the intense suffering that I’ve fortunately endured, I find myself looking forward to many more years now of highly rewarding, universal service.
