“The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.” —Frank Hebert A number of years ago I was introduced to stones and crystals. I found it quite fascinating that stones and crystals emanate electromagnetic fields just like people and other living life forms. I was also intrigued to learn about their metaphysical properties and how they can affect our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional bodies. As I started becoming acquainted with their energy through meditation, I never realized where that journey would take me. The first stone I purchased was Creedite. I was drawn to one particular stone because it reminded me of a small hedgehog. It was light brown, had a flat bottom and a round crystal fan on top. There was a bare spot on the left and right of the stone. One looked like a little face with a small snout, and the other resembled a little bare bottom. I meditated with the stone often but as my collection of stones grew I worked with the Creedite less frequently.
Some months went by and one day I was drawn to pick up the Creedite. I noticed that the bare spots were filling in with new crystals. Some were just erupting through the surface where others were fully formed. The crystals on the bottom of the stone were long, and the stone was no longer flat. The stone was growing. I began to notice changes in some of the other stones. Quartz crystals that had been cloudy were now clear. Rainbows were appearing in stones where previously, there were none and other changes, such as fine internal cracks or surface changes occurred, and one stone changed color. These observations not only altered my perception about the stones but also sparked a deep interest in wanting to learn more about them.

clearly not a scientist, but I have found it intriguing that stones and crystals generate energy. Crystal radios can receive signals from a broadcast tower, and crystals are used in clocks and watches. I have also found it interesting that they contain water, a living element. The human body contains minerals that are essential to our overall health; it made me wonder whether our own chemistry might interact with stone energy in ways we cannot comprehend. I began working with stones from the standpoint that they are living beings and created a sacred space for doing that work. When doing any energy work if there is respect, pure intention, and high integrity it is a space where miracles can happen. I invited the stones to work with me in my energy work. Over the course of the next couple of years, I researched, experimented and worked with the stones. It led me to the making of stone essences.
