here's some stuff about Zanya ~

i am a divorced mother of a very high spirited and precocious 5 yr old whirlwind male child. my primary occupation (directive, you might say) is homeschooling him in the Enki education method. (see more about this in labors of love.) it is most definitely a labor of love, one that takes everything i've got (though i can't wait to have more.) on the side, i endeavor to make my business enterprise from home successful. i've done some web design and consulting and i am a consultant for Arbonne International, a company featuring all natural, botanical and vegan skin care, cosmetics and nutrition. i'm also considering taking some online education and becoming either an interior designer or a life/parenting coach.

my interests in health and healing began long ago, when i learned about aligning with energy from studying aikido (and now my babe is becoming an aikidoka ), and becoming vegetarian at essentially the same time. **i've worked in cardiologists', chiropractors' and orthopedic surgeons' offices (office assistant, physical therapy, running a clinic), so i'm well acquainted with different kinds of professional healing practices.

mind-body-spirit integration i find is integral to all healing, and the process of becoming whole. i love natural healing processes that affect our spirits as well as our physical bodies. flower essences, crystals, feng shui, nutrition, aromatherapy, et al....all these are highly effective in a gentle and uplifting way, taking our healing, on all fronts, to new levels.

our bodies are sacred, and deserve to be treated that way in every respect. we will heal our planet in the process of healing ourselves. to that end, i am blessed to be here.

love, light and blessings all around,
from zanya with love

I mean, they're not radioactive or anything, they don't give off energy...most of them aren't magnetized....ur just looking at a lump of carbon....

speaking of "silver stones"...(i've posted this elsewhere, but this is just so cool about energy patterns) ~

It is well known that placing colloidal particles of silver into a beaker of water that contains bacteria will kill the bacteria. What is not so well known is that placing these colloidal silver particles in a nearby gas discharge tube, and focusing the electromagnetic emissions from such an operating tube onto the beaker, will also kill the bacteria.

Thus, physical contact between the bacteria and the silver is not a necessary condition for killing the bacteria. Further, if one looks at the optical spectrum of silver and then combines the magnitudes of the optical output for several light sources of different frequencies so as to closely simulate the silver spectrum, such a beam of electromagnetic radiation will also kill these bacteria.

Via this simple example we see that it is the specific information pattern inherent in the silver atom and not the physical contact that is killing the bacteria. And our general present-day experience with transforming one computer language to another shows us that the same basic information pattern (the same meaning) can exist in many different formats.

Crystals seem to have acquired a questionable reputation during the late 80's New Age period. It's a shame. They're marvellous little repositories of energy.

Smoky Quartz

Smokey Quartz is an excellent grounding and protective stone while at the same time raising one’s energy vibration. It is linked strongly with the root chakra. It is an excellent antidote for stress. It transforms negativity of all kinds into a positive vibe. It teaches one how to leave behind that which no longer serves you. It relieves fear, lifts depression and brings emotional calmness, dissolving negative emotions. It aids acceptance of the physical body and sexual nature. Because it is naturally irradiated, it is an excellent stone for support during chemotherapy or radiations sickness. One should be aware of dark, non transparent Smokey Quartz, however- it has often been artificially treated.

Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline cleanses and purifies energy, transforming it to a higher vibration. It is also very grounding, and forms a protective shield around the body. It promotes self confidence and releases fear. It helps one move past being a victim and encourages inspiration, compassion, tolerance, and prosperity. It is excellent protection against electromagnetic smog, radiation, psychic attack, ill-wishing and negative energy of all kinds. It connects with the root chakra and increases physical vitality, dispersing tension and stress. It clears negative thoughts and encourages a laid-back, positive attitude.

A FAIRY WENT A-MARKETING

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a little fish;
She put it in a crystal bowl
Upon a golden dish.
An hour she sat in wonderment
And watched its silver gleam,
And then she gently took it up
And slipped it in a stream.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a coloured bird;
It sang the sweetest, shrillest song
That ever she had heard.
She sat beside its painted cage
And listened half the day,
And then she opened wide the door
And let it fly away.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a winter gown
All stitched about with gossamer
And lined with thistledown.
She wore it all the afternoon
With prancing and delight,
Then gave it to a little frog
To keep him warm at night.

A fairy went a-marketing -
She bought a gentle mouse
To take her tiny messages,
To keep her tiny house.
All day she kept its busy feet
Pit-patting to and fro,
And then she kissed its silken ears,
Thanked it, and let it go.

I think I'd like to get some Black Tourmaline!
Really useful stuff by the sounds of it!

The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off, the eyes of love instead see all of us as one".....
