Size Matters

Many people ask me if size matters, with respect to wearing jewelry and decorating your home.  The answer is YES!

When wearing jewelry you need to know what you’re wearing, what it does for you and what you expect from the energy (outcome) you are attaching to your body. Don’t ask a tiny 6mm stone pendant it to give you the world. For example, Citrine is a money stone.  If you’re going to make a huge deal with a client think about wearing a larger stone piece at that meeting.  If it’s a regular business day you can wear a small one.

In regards to your home, if you wish to make a statement then go big.

If you want to expand and feel the energy around the whole house, then go even bigger.  Please do not ask a tiny natural stone or crystal piece to energize your whole home. 

You invested in your home and you invest in what is inside your home, hopefully to make a difference in your life.  Your home should look amazing and feel amazing.  Natures Art™ pieces not only keep their value, but will also, aesthetically, show class, makes you look educated, affluent, and show status.  A tiny rock here or there doesn’t have that effect.  The tiny piece will only energize the spot where you put it; especially if you hold on to it. 

Your stones need to be larger in order to create an energy field around your space, enabling you to expand and shift.

This is what we do when we come out and consult with our clients on getting the most out of their home and self.  We create abundant energy in your home like a gridded energy field called Energy Mapping™.  The entire house becomes an energy source for getting you what you want in and out of your life.

Oneness

Energy is whatever you make of it.  It can come to you in soft or hard, cold or warm, cosmic or earthy, real or not real, one or many.

Energy is a tricky subject, because it can go in many different directions, scientific, quantum physic, holistic, new age, realities, religion and different dimensions of planes.  We can talk about energy and different modalities until end of time, presuming we all know that everything is one and that we are here to experience ourselves in a human form from being an energy soul. Then, energy is really our self, in many different ways as a tree, wind, and house. 

So, what is reality in human form? I believe reality that we make ourselves through our filters of values, belief, decisions that we made in the past and old memories and their triggers.  Knowing that information, makes me believe that who we think we are right now is what creates a diversity amongst all of us and makes us live in our OWN reality not in a reality of oneness. 

This is a shame, since we all come here to experience, learn and grow as a soul in this world; to become a better soul and release Karma from the past and move forward. 

So, what does this have to do with Natures Art™ or what I do in this world right now?  I use the modality of Natures Art™ to shift the energy in the home and self.  I believe that the Natures Art™ of gems helps us move and shift to the reality we want in our lives.  From Aventurine bringing forth Money and healing the heart, to Black Tourmaline de-ionizing the environment and protecting you against negativity.  You have a choice of what you want to let in your life and what to release in your life.  Putting in an energy positioning blueprint of what you want and then placing the stones to help you get it, is just one way of receiving, love, truth, serenity, purpose, gratitude…Oneness!

Shift Happens!

It can be quite shocking at the time, when things start to move around and people start to shake things up.  It’s really kind of crazy, thoughts are moving everywhere; you’re totally out of control of what’s going on. Fights are around every corner and you don’t even notice that you’re the one driving it.  This is Shift.  It’s time for a transition. You can either run, and you better know how to run fast because there is no place to hide and you have to keep running. Or you stop and hopefully look in and see, maybe for the very first time, what it is all about? Where are you? How do I get the hell out?

This is the time where everything you know to be true is up in the air.  The tried and true is no longer working.  We can move to another city, or we can get a new job, or we can leave all our family behind, and even get rid of all our belongings. Yet right down to it, we must look inward for everything.  We are to be seeing what comes from the inside.

 So let’s take a look at that. Wow, this is a scary thing! Fear will pop up in every instance.  I had thoughts of “DON’T YOU GO THERE! ARE YOU NUTS?”  That’s how I felt for a very long time. Like years!  Looking in was not very pretty. There were so many; let’s call them “skeletons in the closets.”  They were all fears that needed to be resolved with memories that ruled my life even when I did not know it.

 It was time to become a spiritual adult and I made the commitment to my inner self (inner child) that I was going to go through it and come out the other side. 

So the question was WHY?  My life is OK.  I have a business. I am thought of as a good person.  My reputation with my peers and clients was impressive. So why? I have been a driven person all my life, to be the best; maybe it was to impress my mother? In fact, it was to impress upon myself that I was worth it. My being here, had to be for a reason.  I needed to find out what that reason was.  At that point everything fell apart in my life.  The process began, digging in and releasing the fears, hurts, pains, frustrations, arrogance, and mistrust; even trust in me. There was a lot! Through this journey I have found out that we will always be processing emotions and fears of different levels for as long as we live. It’s the journey, not the path. 

This took some time to swallow.   So I started looking at my past to see from where this all stemmed. I noticed that over a span of time I had a huge collection of stones around my home, which I new affected me in different ways.  You could even say they talked with me.  They also listened to what I wanted and I believe they have no choice but to obey.

  Well, well, now here, I am always working on living my truth and loving unconditionally (which is hard sometimes… I am just human).  I see things in different ways now than I did in the past and I opened up to using stone pendulums to speak to my subconscious, and to my crystal stones and rocks, etc.  At the time, I used my pendulums to place a stone were it needed to be, without really knowing what I was doing.  Here became the beginning of Energy Mapping™.  Who knew?

I also listened to the energy in the home; felt the disconnection. So, I began to rearrange the stones to push and move the energy out of stagnation.  I have not knowingly, even unconsciously, asked for the stones to help me move to my next level and yet I must have, because they did help me.  The thing is, they are very patient; they will live with you a lifetime hoping you will awaken.  I’m here saying that there are different modalities that can help you soothe your journey, help you move through it faster, and relax you so you can rest. They also send you love when you don’t even know you need it or deserve it.

 We are all Love. In the thick of things, please remember we are shifters, changers, creators of things to happen, this is how our soul learns and hopefully releases.  Knowing that fact, you are welcomed to shift and we welcome you to have the experience of stones to ease your journey, to shift for your purpose and love to rise; inside and out.   

Believer In Stone Energy

How did I become a believer in the Stone’s Energy?

So many people have asked me this question: How exactly did you learn to feel the energy? 

Well here’s my story.  I had been working with a friend Greg helping manage his company and sell his rocks.  I was at that time in the glass bead business and was always drawn to nature.  He needed help and I said yes.  While managing his company I was placed with an awesome healer named Dawn. 

She was really cool and different than I ever experienced and one day she looked me dead in the eyes and said “do you know you’re a master healer and you can use these stones to heal” I just shook my head and looked at her and said “Dawn your nuts these rocks are cool lets just sell them so we don’t have to pack them to go home” She looked at me and said “I will get you to believe and I have the patience to make that happen”

Every now and then she would ask me to feel this and that rock and crystal.  I just huffed and puffed called her a HealyFeelie and said, “nope, I feel nothing” Please keep in mind… I was 22 years old and came from a conservative family in Boston.   Who knew that one day I would be in the Natures Art business        he did J

On the fourth year we were working together once again and I had opened up, and started asking questions and it shifted my train of thought.  I even moved to Los Angeles!  That made a huge shift within itself.

The final day came when I was at a gem show and picked up a tiny Quartz crystal double terminated point(a point with a point on either side) and I felt a tingle on either side of both fingers, like a vibration.  I told Dawn and she went nuts with excitement!   She had me touch all these different crystals and I could feel it!  It was the openness and a mustard seed of faith and trust that allowed me to feel that the crystal had a vibration.  I could not feel the vibration before because I did not want to or wasn’t open to wanting to feel it. 

Now my life is in gratitude that G-d brought these amazing stones in my life and for Dawn, having the patience of being my teacher of energy.  And that… is my story.

5 Tips for Placing Stones in Your Home

Getting the right arrangement and variety of stones in your home is key to creating positive energy that works for you and through you, instead of against you. 

Use the five tips I have listed here in a manner that will promote tranquility, joy, love and all sorts of other positive attributes into your home or work space...even outside!

1. Always clear your stones before putting them on, or bringing them home. (Look at our wellness page for instructions)
2.  You should have sage in your home for a clearing of your home after you bring in a new piece of Natures Art™ (look at our wellness page for instructions)
3.  Learn how to use a pendulum and yet do not get stuck on relying on your pendulum, it’s just for quick clarity and decision making when overwhelmed.  Use your higher heart it’s never goes wrong…its you, until you learn to trust yourself, your pendulum can really help you.
4.  Feel what you are feeling when purchasing crystals and were you are purchasing from.  Make sure the energy you feel is clean and energizing NOT heavy and weird.  You need to start to feel the locations were you buy, if you feel funny, icky, that is a great sense of feeling.  Usually it means “get the hell out of there” trust it and leave.
5.  Talk to your stones it will feel weird at first, in fact you will feel like your kind of nuts.  Anyways if you talk to your plants talk to your rocks. Tell them what you want the home to feel like and your needs (WARNING) do not ask for things in haste, be conscious of what you want, ask what your heart wants NOT your EGO.
