PERFUME, MUSIC AND BOOKS FOR AN ENLIGHTENED AND HEALTHY HUMANITY
Very happy to be back on the blog after missing last weekend. I was traveling to the Montreal Mineralogy Show to purchase the crystals promised to the donors of Invocation’s crowdfunding campaign with the reward — Crystal Blessing. I took a moment with each donor to determine the best crystal for them. That is why I made the trip to Montreal last weekend. I must now purify them, program them and make this programming permanent with the appropriate ceremony.
I want to return to an article already written that briefly mentions the most powerful attitudes for creating beneficial energies and favorable circumstances in your lives.
It matters not whether you have time to meditate or the inclination for a regular spiritual practice. If you take to heart the integration of these simple thoughts into your daily life, you will avoid many problems and create happy tomorrows.
Here is the master of the elements — the space in which the other elements develop and interweave to form all that exists. I give it the name Sacred Sound, for it is sound that is light that creates the totality of all.
I have noticed over many years of working with the elements that each person has the predominance of one element. Mine is fire. This is why last weekend I let myself be carried away by the poetry of my love of fire and forgot certain important details.
The world is silent and dark. The night is on the land but a timid light is starting to brighten the eastern sky. The minds of the caretakers of tradition and prophecy awaken. It is time to strengthen the spirit of peace and abundance for the people and the earth. They hurry to the sacred ceremonial grounds and with great care rekindle the sacred fire. As the light of dawn spreads over the land the offerings, songs and prayers spread peace and joy to all beings in all worlds. It is good.
The third element in our tradition is air — and more precisely, wind. What is most significant in this element is the freedom that comes from a true understanding of spirit. The earth element is heavy and sinks, even creating gravity, drawing all physical things downward. Water has the capacity to evaporate, yet always falls back down and in its liquid state always seeks the lowest level. But air is free.
The Water Element
As I sit down to write about the water element, I read what I wrote last week on this subject. What struck me was the sheer magnitude of the subject and the utter inadequacy of words to truly portray what the elements are. Admitting my limitations is important to me at the beginning of this week’s article. Such an important subject should warrant a far better portrayal of their importance. That is why in today’s literature there are several very important books written on water. All I can do here — and it is the objective I set for this series — is to give some hints of how they can be used for healing.
To continue from last week’s article on the earth element: a very powerful healing modality resides in the work with crystals. The crystals are the earth’s flowers, the most evolved and luminous beings of the mineral world, the most representative of the earth element. They are pure light, vibrating faster than sound and light, at speeds we haven’t the tools to measure yet.
The first element in this series is Earth. Within us, the most representative of this element is our bones. On our planet, its most evolved expression is found in crystals and precious stones of all kinds. This represents the fundamental element of manifestation — our physical presence in a material world. Our body, so precious, manifests through this element, which draws upon the other elements to offer a form for our exploration of the physical world.
All great traditional medicines (as opposed to conventional, interventionist and chemical approaches) have a theory of the five elements that forms part of their methods of assessment and care. In fact, this goes much further than that.
