Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How To Cleanse Gemstone Necklaces

By Isabelle Morton

Her desk is becoming more and more cluttered, and nothing will get done until she clears this clutter away. This familiar scenario is a metaphor for the need to properly cleanse healing gemstone necklaces. With proper care, the necklaces' capabilities are extensive. During a therapy session or simply by wearing them, gemstones rid the patient's body and aura of unwanted energies. Unwanted energies congregate in the energy field that surrounds healing gemstones, as well as on their surface. Unwanted energies get in the way of the gemstones' healing powers, and the stones must be cleansed, much like the individual must clear her desk before further work can be accomplished.

There are many methods to cleanse gemstone necklaces. Running water, sunlight, moonlight, soil cleansing, smudging, salt, and clay packs and baths are among some of the common cleansing methods. In addition to these, we now have cleansing sprays made with the energetic imprint of gemstone energies specially designed to clear a variety of unwanted energies. This method may be the fastest, easiest, and most effective of all.

While cleaning your gemstone necklaces with water might seem practical, water cleansing is only effective on crystals, crystal clusters, and other non-threaded mineral kingdom therapy tools. The foremost problem with cleansing gemstone necklaces with water is premature breakage. If you have a serious health condition, it is necessary to cleanse your therapeutic gemstones daily, if not more often, and such frequent cleansing leads to a weakening of the thread. If your water is chlorinated, it will also deteriorate the thread, and should not be used for cleansing gemstones. Furthermore, you'll get the most benefit from a necklace if you maintain constant physical contact with it. In the process of drying a necklace you lose this contact. You then lose the supportive resources the gemstones built up when you were wearing them.

Another popular cleansing method is the sunbath. However, sunlight is capable of bleaching the color from certain gemstones, and worse, it can transmit harmful solar radiation. The answer is to sunbathe your gems behind a windowpane to shield them from solar radiation. However, the sunlight is then only capability is loosening unwanted energies from gems. The unwanted energies will remain prominent in the gemstone's energy field until they are cleared.

Moonlight baths can be effective, but only for certain gemstones. Sugilite is one of these gems. Although it may seem that the moon's light (or, rather, the sun's reflection) does the cleansing, it is in fact the moon's gravitational pull. If you choose to make use of the moon for gemstone cleansing, first spray the gems with the new cleansing sprays, and then place them outside in a protected area that will be bathed in the moon's energy for at least a few hours.

If you have easy access to a protected garden, you can easily cleanse your gemstones while also granting them rejuvenating Earth energies. Plant and soil microbes have a natural, life-giving energy that can neutralize accumulated unwanted energies on and around the gemstones. Pesky animals, however, occasionally enjoy digging up and relocating gemstones, much to their owners' dismay. Owners have reported finding their gemstones weeks or months later, and often on the opposite side of the yard. Also, soil particles often get stuck in the thread and drill holes of a necklace, which will require water cleansing. Soil exposure can also dull the surfaces of certain gemstones, such as the softer Apatite, Fluorite, and Rhodocrosite.

Simply placing your gemstones in a bowl of salt is an easy method. Unfortunately, it isn't a complete cleanse. A salt crystal is able to take in many of a gemstone's accumulated unwanted energies-but not all of them. The salt is also incapable of dispersing these energies. It is therefore necessary to replace the salt every two to three days.

At first examination, clay seemed to be the gemstone-cleansing champion. Not only is clay capable of removing unwanted energies from the stones, but it also removes x-rays and electromagnetic radiation. Nevertheless, the downside to clay cleansing becomes apparent soon enough. Aside from being messy and time-consuming, clay puts unnecessary stress on the silk, and it actually deteriorates some gemstones.

The problems that arise with gemstone and crystal cleansing have been solved by cleansing sprays made of the energies of healing gemstones. Since the cleansing method is effective and efficient, and minimally moistens the silk, the sprays banish the chance of premature necklace breakage. While water can dull the polish of gems such as Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, and Mother of Pearl, the sprays do not. Furthermore, by using the sprays, you will never have to break contact with your necklace.

These sprays are safe, thorough, easy to use, and effective. They are capable of removing unwanted energies not only from the surfaces of gemstones, but also from within them, as well as from their surrounding energy fields. In addition, the sprays can clear a wide variety of unwanted energies, including negative energies, emotional energies, thought forms, entity contamination, pain residues, electromagnetic radiation, and the accumulation that blurs and obscures information communicated by our genes. Finally, the sprays provide a way for clinical practitioners to apply therapeutic gemstones in practice. Practitioners now have the ability to quickly, easily, and effectively cleanse their gem and crystal healing tools between patients.
