Medicine Wheel of the Soul

Look to the East
toward te rising sun
praise the fire of enlightenment
the coming day, a gift
a blessing just to rise
with the breath of morning air
enought to know
life has pulled the sun
from behind the horizon again.

Look to the South
place of our growth
rivers of time
flow through all that we know
change and evlove
our perceptions of truth
hands of creation
search for tangible form
while clinging to the safety
of vision.

Look to the West
where the darkness is kept
beneath silvery amrs
the moon's sweet embrace
holds the rhythmic tide
and lulls us to sleep
in the cave of our silence
whispers of eternity
call forth our
dreams.

Look to the North
know the ageless wisdom
whispered on the winds
hear the echoes
falling throguh the trees
offering shelter from winter's icy tears
woven by the hands of death
in our hour
of need.

Look to the Center
where we each begin
everywhere we g
is then where we are
know the path we walk
always returns
once again
back around the circle
to stand with the presence
of self.

Dream Stones

Your dream stone is used in some night spells, here's how to make yours.

First select the kind of stone you want to use as your dream stone. I would recomed a piece of clear quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, or citrine as your first dream stone.

To clear out any unwanted energies in your stone, place it in you left hand, covering it with your right. Next imagine a clear pool of water in your mind.

Breathe in deeply, seeing and sensing the clear water washing out your dream stone, and then pulse your breath out sharply through your nose, as if to set the image in place in the stone.

To program your dream stone, repeat the clearing process, only instead of imagining clerar water in your dream stone, imagine what you want in it, from spiritual clarity to prosperity or maybe a new relationship.

The choice is yours.

After programing the stone, hold it in your nondominant or receiving hand(left if you are right-handed) as you sleep, noticing how it affects your dreams. Check out different types of stones programing them for various things while agian observing their affects on your dreams. You can also intentionally bring your dream stone into your dreams, using it for energizing, traveling, and healing. As you drift to sleep, simply repeat to yourself, "Dream stone of light, Dream with me tonight."

Keep this stone next to your bed, under your bed, or in your pillow case in a natural fabric bag you cushioning, or hold it in your receiving hand at night as you drift to sleep. The power of the stone entrains your dreams, just as your energy entrains the dream stone.

The following is a list of stones you can use for dream magic, along with their properties.


DREAM STONES

-Agate: Grounding and balancing your dreams, self-confidence, balance

-Amethyst: Divine communication, wisdom, bannishing nightmares, dream protection, mental clarity.

-Citrine: Dream messages, mental clarity, dispelling negative dreams, empowerment, remembering your dreams.

Buying, Cleaning and Empowering a Crystal

Buying a Crystal: One of the suggested methods of buying a crystal requires that you look at a crystal and see if it "vibrates" with you. Look through a large number of them until you find just the right one. This works fine as long as you wide variety to select from.

Another method to purchase a crystal is buying whatever crystal that is available to you. You may also get one as a gift. In either of these cases, you will be "bonding" with the crystal and that provides the "tuning" of the crystal to your "vibration". So it isn't all that critical that you find the "perfect" crystal when buying one. Cleaning: Water with a little salt, wash gently, and dry. Dish soap can be used. Do not use dyed or strong chemicals because of the chance of discoloring the crystal. Its best to keep it simple. Polish it with a jewelers cloth after. Avoid scouring pads because it can scratch the surface.

Purifying: The crystal will have traveled long distances and have been held by many different persons, which makes it susceptible to having mixed vibrations. It needs to have these vibrations neutralized so that you can impress your own pure intentions upon it.

The most common way to do this is to hold the crystal over the smoke of incense while impressing upon it your intention that it only relate to your impressions as its possessor. It can also be held over the heat of a candle in the same manner. Do not place it directly in the flame because extreme heat can change the color. Bonding: This is the step that makes any crystal a part of you and your psyche. It alleviates the need to find the "perfect" crystal. Once you have bonded with the crystal it is then "tuned" to your mind and vibration. You should do this with every crystal whether it be a large expensive specimen or an inexpensive tumbled gemstone.

Find a quite place where you can be free from distraction for a few minutes. Hold the crystal in your hand and with your eyes closed, feel every part of it recording in your mind its feel and touch.

After that, open your eyes and look at every part of it noting its color, shape, flaws, inclusions and imperfections. Become familiar with ever angle and part of the crystal. You create an impression in your mind of the crystal that will remain there. It only takes a few minutes and you should do this with every crystal. From here you can go on to empower the crystal if you have a ready intention, or you can save it for empowering at a later date.

Empowering: Here is where you put the most powerful energy in the universe to work, your mind. You give the crystal or tumble gemstone your intention which becomes its purpose. You can assign it any purpose or desire that you have and it then becomes your icon which represents the the intention you want it to hold. It is your intermediary to the universal machine which enables all thought to become physical reality.

Sit quietly with the crystal, and meditate or ponder what it is you want it to represent for you. Focus as intently as you can for a few minutes while your intentions are transferred to the crystal. Have faith that your intentions are recognized by the universal power of All That Is, (God). The crystal then becomes your "Genie" which is dedicated to doing your will. You are then free from direct involvement or the grasping that interferes with the universal process. Place your faith in the fact that your intentions are made known. You can also empower more than one crystal with the same intention.
