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?

A Two-Step System For Optimal Crystal Cleansing

By Isabelle Morton

Decades ago, people once again became aware that crystals and crystal clusters are effective healing tools. Their capabilities are extensive, especially when they receive proper care. In therapeutic situations, crystals eliminate unwanted energies from the patient's body and aura. As time passes, unwanted energies pervade both the surface of crystals and their energy field. If not cleansed properly, unwanted energies can impair the crystal's healing abilities. It's much like needing to rid your desk of clutter before you can get back to work.

If crystal clusters are being used to keep rooms in your house or office uplifted and clear, it is necessary to cleanse the clusters each time you dust the area, or every couple of weeks. Cleanse individual healing crystals after each therapy session in which you use them. This is important because neglecting to cleanse can be risky. Unwanted energies that a crystal picks up from one patient may be passed on to the next. Second, to prevent the following patient from being exposed to these energies, you as the practitioner, might pick them up yourself. Third, if the crystals are not cleansed between patients, they will continue to absorb unwanted energies, eventually clouding the crystal and restricting its abilities as a healing tool.

The good news is that crystals respond particularly well to cleansing. Start by cleansing your healing crystals with water. This will remove the dust and dirt that accumulates on the crystals' surface. Use running water from your sink only if your tap water is non-chlorinated. You will also need an old toothbrush and some mild soap or detergent. Hold your crystals under the running water, put some detergent on the toothbrush, and brush the crystal surfaces.

Periodically, switch the water between hot and cold. While the soap removes the physical dirt and dust from the crystals, the motion of the running water helps to remove unwanted energies your healing crystals may have picked up during therapeutic use, or while helping to keep the energy in a room uplifted and clear. If your tap water is treated, pour some purified water into a large measuring cup or pitcher. Cleanse the crystals with the soapy toothbrush as before, but rather than using your faucet, rinse them by pouring the purified water over them.

Once the crystals are physically cleansed, you can also clear their energy field using GEMFormulas Energy Clearing Cleansing Spray. This will eliminate unwanted energies that the energy field may have picked up.

The running water method is unable to remove electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Crystals can pick up EMR in environments with high electromagnetic fields, and also if the crystals pick up EMR from a patient during a therapy session. The GEMFormulas EMR Protection Clearing Spray was specifically designed to tackle this problem. To remove EMR from your crystals, spray them with this formula.

Spray the GEMFormulas Diamond Healing Rejuvenating Spray on your crystals to bring forward their true purpose, and uplift their vibrations even more. You should be able to tell, intuitively, how far away to hold the spray, and at what angle. As you continue to customize your use of all three sprays, their cleansing and rejuvenating properties will become more effective.

Using GEMFormulas sprays following a soap and water bath on your crystals will leave them energetically cleansed, and allow their maximum healing potential to shine through.
