Spiritual Belief is Beneficial...

As long as I can remember, I have always been interested in different religions.  I often ask questions of friends to learn more, because of my ignorance when it comes to God and The Bible.

With that said, I don't believe that to be spiritual necessarily means to be religious.  It is such an individualized ideology.  Spirituality is so interesting to me; organized religions, Native spiritual beliefs and meditation.

Recently a friend introduced me to the metaphysical meanings of crystals and gemstones.  I started researching the different therapies for healing the spirit.  So incredibly interesting!

I think that we are all spiritual in some way.  I am open to different ideas, so she recommended that I go to "The Divine Mine"It was a neat experience!

We picked up some fun items...we'll see what a difference they make :)  Many of the following stones we already had, which the girls have collected over time.

     Amazonite - Stone of Prosperity

     Carnelian - Stone of Physical Energy
     Dumortierite - Stone of Patience
     Moonstone - Stone of Emotional Balance
     Citrine - Stone of Prosperity
     Red Jasper - Stone of Spiritual Grounding
     Sodalite - Stone of Insite and Intuition
     Serpentine - Stone of Earth Energy
     Rose Quartz - Stone of the Heart
     Calcite - Stone of Enlightenment & Mental Growth
