So as soon as I'm done with this post I'm going to meditate with my new crystal...carnelian and when I'm done I'll come and share my experience with you I'll be sitting or lying rather under the huge/old oak tree in my "backyard"

So as soon as I put her on my third eye all I could sense was the earth I could smell the earth, hear the wind in the trees, hear the birds ever so clearly. I was very grounded and she was clearing my first three chakras and also connecting me to spiritual. She was actually a very strong stone so much so I ended up stopping and putting her back in the sun.

Part 1

Namaste Spiritlite!

After spending last week in something of a confused haze and staying quiet (just trying to absorb everything I'd been getting through mediations and astral travels), Gabes, you wonderful, wonderful woman you, gave me the gentle support I needed.
Then, of course, I had a full 3 days offline (~*glares at my guides who I pretty well know had a hand in that*~) to draw away from everything, quiet down, focus, and write out what has been shared with me.

So, for the next post or two, dear Spiritlite, I hope you don't mind me cluttering up your thread. *^_^*

Be warned, the following gets a bit long, so ~*gives you popcorn and a drink*~ have at it!



* * * * *

Let me just start off by saying, thank you Gabes!

Okay then. I've been spending about the past two weeks with my Lemurian crystals, two geodes, one red Tiger eye stone and one blue Tiger eye stone. First of all simply spending time getting to know and be comfortable in the presence of them astrally, taking in what they've shown me, then asking them questions. (Kinda been a process for me, getting use to things one step at a time.)
Now, mind you, at this point and time in my life, I'm not some great energy worker or psychic and uses stones and crystals for grids and chakra work and the like. (I do have respect for those who are called to do so.) About the most simple way to say it is that I'm just curious. A seeker of wisdom and information, as one person put it.
I'm not typically the type of person who searches for information about healing techniques or ancient lands and times (most days). I'm the kind of person who wants to know the person behind the scenes. What do they look like? How do they feel? Where do they come from? What're things like for them?
The following is the combined answers of what has been openly shared with me thanks to my Lemurian crystals and two tiger eye stones, and my best efforts to put the pieces of this big puzzle together into one coherent piece.

There are those of you out there who look at these stones and crystals and just see 'pretty rocks'. You can't or simply aren't able to 'sense' them. That's okay.
There are those of you out there who see these stone and crystals and who can 'sense' them. Maybe you've felt drawn to buy particular ones. Maybe some have just, without any real effort on your part, fallen into your care. Maybe you're at the point where you can sense how they want to be cleansed and grounded, or when they want to be held by you. That's totally normal. (Heaven knows I've been in both of the above places myself, so I can totally understand.)
Then there are those of us like Tilia and myself who can actually communicate with them. Not with the physical stone or crystal itself, but the soul that is connected with / connected to the stone or crystal. Sometimes, without even trying, I've even been able to 'see' and sense their forms in a room or closeby.
Anyone can get to this point. This isn't some special gift bestowed on us. It's an ability like all others. The ability to breathe, to see, to feel, to sense. All it really takes is a 'wanting to' and some practice to open and fine tune this ability. (Of course, even for me, I'm still in the process of 'fine tuning' this ability since, heh, sometimes I'm not as acutely aware of them as I need to be. In times like that, where my attention is seriously needed and I'm about as aware of them as a brick wall, I'll get yelled at in spirit to get my full attention. *^_^*)

I'm sure at some point or another we've read the scientific explaintion of how stones and crystals have been formed over millions of years due to this enviromental factor and that mineral in the soil. It's true. That IS how these stones and crystals were formed. However, what about the souls? The individuals that are connected with these forms? Where are they from? How did they get their start? Why be connected with the 'body' of a stone or crystal anyway? Why not an animal or a human being? (For the sake of ease here I am not going to be bringing up the topic of other planets, here in this physical realm, and their stones and crystals. It'll just make this a WHOLE lot longer than this is already going to be.)

How they came to be is a rather varied explaination.
I have asked several of my Lemurian crystals, as well as the blue and red tiger eyes I've mentioned above, this question. It seems like each got their start (began their life) in different ways.
What I was shown was a different dimension (that's about the best word I can think of to use. dimension ? universe? realm?). The energy of it, the feel of it, different than what we know here, yet not all THAT different from it. (I've heard that there are several different 'levels' or 'dimensions' of existence. The higher the vibration or whatever, that's the level / dimension certain individuals / species / dieties live on. However, since I know extremely little about that, I'll leave that topic for someone else who knows WAY more about it than I do to explain all of that.)
Jin, one of my Lemurian crystals, showed me how he got his start. Way out in space there was this concentration of energy. It burst apart and each part that burst apart was one of his kind. An energy being.
They lived and played in a small section of a galaxy. That was their home (and WOW what a view). A small amount of time passed for him and his 'siblings' (though, on our concept of time, it was at LEAST a few centuries). Then one day (heh "day" being a relative term) a diety came, inviting them to come with him to a school, to help them learn, grow, and become more. (No I don't know what diety. All Jin showed me was a white lighted, glowing, humanoid form several sizes taller than he or his siblings.) With no real hesitation, they agreed and were gently escorted to at first one school, then separated into several different ones, each one suited for the particular gifts each were displaying.
Jin didn't go into much detail after that (because it gets kinda complicated and long, is what he told me), but he did tell me that it took a long time of learning and then growing to teaching before he became the individual I've been blessed enough to know. He still resides in that dimension, that's where he lives, but, when he heard of the Lemurian crystals, he knew he wanted to be paired with one, wanted to be a part of it. (Kind of like if one of us were getting to go on adventure in a different country.) It took a bit of doing to be ready and connected with this crystal form in our realm (the process not being all THAT dramatically different than what it is for us and our physical bodies, but, unlike so many of us, their memories aren't subdued and they still retain and use the abilities they've grown up learning to be comfortable with and to master. There are other differences, but it really gets into lots of details).
About his appearance, he looks very human except for small details, like his nails, his eyes, and two antlers on his head (or rather, more accurately, growing from his head). Considering how he was 'born', I'm still not sure how this current appearance of his is possible. (Then again, considering how infantesimally little I know of the dimension they live in, I have no idea just how different things are there and what sort of things ARE possible.)

Then there is Taré. Another one of my Lemurian crystals. (I feel a bit bad since I can't pronounce her full name. She allows me to call her 'Tare' (taw-ray), for my own sake.) You would not BELIEVE it took me over a week (since she was the first crystal, muchless Lemurian crystal, who'd wanted to connect and talk with me) before I realized that the 'mermaid' form I kept sensing wasn't my imagination. It was HER form. Now, don't think she's a thing like Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. That's a really sparkles and butterflies (aka unrealistic) version.
She was born on a planet ("over there" in that dimension) that's not really too different than how the Earth use to be several hundred thousand years back. She told me 'it's not perfect, but no planet is'. Besides, it's her home. No matter where one will ever travel to, home will always be home.
About 90% of the population of her planet is mer. (Though not as clean cut as our idea of 'mermaid' or 'merman' is. It's not a clean and cut half human half fish being. It's actally more like 70-80% fish-like, 30-20% humanoid in appearance. One head, two eyes, one nose, one mouth, one neck, two arms, a pair of ears. They look very human. The rest of the body, including the design of the ears, are very fish / aquatic in appearance. Taré herself has a rather shark-like design.)
Tare told me that she was born on this, her home planet. She was, for the most part, like everyone else on her planet. When she was still little, she told me her mother noticed her demeanor. She was really rather kind to smaller animals and would stop to help and take care of others her age or younger if she felt they needed it. (Not saying her people are war-like or anything. Just 'normal'. Some are nice, some aren't, and some are moreso than others.) This trait was noticed and, when she was still (what we would consider to be) a little kid, a diety came (like what Jin showed me, the one that came to Taré, though female, was glowing and radiant) and invited Taré to come and study at the schools she taught. Though a little shy at first, Taré agreed and left with the blessings of her family.
Though she did go through quite a few schools, learning a lot and ending up teaching for a while, she gravitated more towards a guardian school. She didn't simply want to be a healer, but a protector also. (Something I've seen her do myself when I had an unpleasant energy experience at Wal-Mart. She spent a full week holding me, keeping me safe, reassuring me I was okay, as well as healing my energy. I'm not sure about the specifics of what exactally she did to help me feel better energy-wise, but I certainly saw and felt it astrally. When I asked what she was doing she told me 'healing', trying to 'repair' it. O_o!?)
At the guardian school she went to, she was taught well and even now carries with her a specalized spear and a forearm shield anywhere she goes. Only a few spare times when she and I have been (astrally or in spirit) in one another's company has she not worn it.
Something I find personally interesting is when she shared with me when she was connected with her first crystal body. A Lemurian crystal. I'm not entirely sure what the details are (since she wasn't the most clear about the how) but shortly after she connected with her first Lemurian crystal body, something happened and she felt so 'wrong' in that form, it bothered her to the very depths of her essense. I nudged her a little bit and got the feeling of someone with very negative energy. (What I felt is like... suddenly being pushed into a nasty, garbage-filled swamp, then having disgusting sludge and garbage poured over you. Just a feeling of sickeningly gross 'ugh!!' so deep that it'd rock to you the very depths of your soul.)
The person, who at the time had picked up her crystal after that, got a sudden shock from her (not an electrical one, but a jolt). It was enough to make him drop the crystal and it fell to the floor and broke, effectively, cleanly disconnecting her from that crystalline form (and from that nasty energy). Despite this bad experience, however, she wanted to go back to another crystal form. A Lemurian. It took a bit of time, prepping her again and making the connection with a new crystal, but she was. That's the Lemurian crystal I now have in my possession.
(Just for the record, you would not BELIEVE how long it took me before I realized just because the crystal is from the Lemurian era, that does not mean that Taré, or any other person connected with the body of a stone or crystal, is Lemurian themself. It seems like such a blatantly simple fact now. "Lemurian" was an era, a people. These crystals are Lemurian. Not the souls connected with them.)

Next are Joshua and Melanie, my two geodes. Though Joshua has come a good ways from when I first picked up his geode form in a flea market store, I've learned more from Melanie about where these souls come from.
I was shown how these two came to be, and told that, though not all-inclusive for all geodes (because there are exceptions), most are created from the energy of the land.
Did you know that if you stop and listen, really allow yourself to listen, spiritually, not physically, that you can hear music? Not from any man-made source, but coming from the land itself? The living energy of the plants, the soil, the air.
I didn't. Not until one day I was nudged to go outside and just 'listen'. I quieted myself and then I could sense something. I focused my spiritual senses on this 'something' and I got a shock and a half when I could hear / feel music coming from all around me.
Have you ever read or heard that we are like radios? Most people (the ones who aren't spiritually active or aware) are like radios not set on a station. Just playing only static. Others, like us, are slightly, half, or a good ways tuned into a 'station'. To be perfectly honest with you, I'd never thought or cared much about it until that day. That day, it made total sense. I got it.
So, for quite some time I stood there outside in my back yard and listened. The sound came from the land itself, from the trees and grass, but it also rode on, with, and within the gentle breeze.
The real kicker, however, was what it sounded like. It wasn't simply a sound percieved by my spiritual senses. It was sound and energy, feeling.
Think of... like, the most beautiful orchestra or symphony you've ever heard in your entire life. Think of one song from that that left you feeling totally in awe and moved and wonderful. Then try and concieve this. What I felt and heard from spirit that day wholly paled in comparison to this.
I can still remember standing there, listening to this music from nature and thinking how absolutely amazing it all was. Every song I'd ever heard by we humans, no matter how beautiful and stirring, it couldn't even begin to measure up.
After that day, my usual daily life swallowed me back up into its busyness and I'd forgotten about this until Melanie came to me.
That energy I just talked about? That's what she and Joshua come from. That's what they are and what what they're from.
I got to see, thanks to Melanie, how she came to be. That energy was flowing across the side of a hill. I don't know the when or where (not like it'd help me out any, I've always been horrid at figuring out dates and locations via spiritual means). Then, a small portion of it began to come together. These tiny particles of energy and light began to come together, loose at first, then in a much tighter concentration until it was a single, glowing mass. Then, in a single moment, it 'became'. I could see a humanoid figure made from that glowing mass of energy. This was a new soul. Then, I watched as it was pulled down into a geode body, connecting the new soul with the geode.
I don't know how long it was that passed before I watched a man pick up the geode from the soil. He took it back to a workshop where it was cleaned and sawed it in half.
Kind of interesting to watch and sense this. As the geode was sawed in half, so too was the energy, part staying with one side, part staying with the other. They were now two different sentient beings.
The geode halves were set in a box with other sawed geodes and later polished, then sold.
This is where Joshua spoke up (...well he doesn't exactally speak to me, not like those connected with the Lemurian crystals I have can do).
He'd been sawed in half, then set in a tub of die with other geodes. It almost makes me want to cry as he shared this with me. I don't understand what the process does, exactally, but I could sense what Joshua had when he was being dyed. It hurt. A LOT.
By the time he was lifted out from the tub and cleaned off, ugh... I'm not sure how I can describe it and I'm not entirely certain I want to. He just felt...really bad. Imagine the worst you've ever felt in your life, then multiply it by about 100 and that'd come close.
The process did little to the geode itself except add color to it, but energy-wise it perverted it and traumatized him. (I don't know all the exact details, and I really have no desire to push this further and find out.)
Joshua just shook and cowered as his geode was cleaned off and polished and sold away like some trinket. He was passed around from hands to hands, homes to stores to homes. Though the initial shock of what he'd been through had worn off, being passed around and being in the presense of people who just didn't 'get him' didn't understand or could sense him, he was able to sense a little from us. How we moved and spoke. (Think sort of like us watching a bug or an ant outside in the soil that we know nothing about. That's what it's been like for him.)
Then I came along. From minutes before I got there, he could sense my energy approaching. Me being typical me, I was totally oblivious until I got to the store and saw him sitting in a cabinet on a shelf.
Unlike the other crystals I'd crossed paths with before, who'd practally jumped up and down in front of me, shouting "DAWN!! I'm right HERE!!!", Joshua was quiet and weak.
I wasn't sure if he was on sale or not, and was reluctant to ask. Three times I kept getting drawn back to him. I didn't understand any of this until later. He could sense I was aware of 'these things', of energy. It was a vibe I was giving off and, quiet as he was, he was reaching out to me.
The third time I was drawn back to him, I knew I couldn't leave unless he was with me. Lo and behold, he was for sale and didn't hesitate in buying him and bringing him home. Since then, it's been a healing road for him, overcoming the trauma he's been through. I can see it now as I'm writing this. From the first moment I held him it felt like finally, at long last, he was feeling safe. Like... the feeling you get when settling down into a tub of perfectly warm, relaxing water. Or like on a cold winter's day, getting to wrap yourself up and settle down into a perfectly warm comforter, sighing and just letting you entire being relax. That's what it was like for him. Just a feeling of "Finally".
He's snuggled up to my 'warmth' (my energy) and has spent as much time as he could being close to me. From the first moment I brought him home, onto this property I've listened to my guides and crystals to work on, to clean the energy of, to create a healing, peaceful sanctuary, he's been having the opportunity to heal the damage that's been done to him. It's been slow and gentle work, but within the past two weeks seeing how much he's changed, how much more comfortable he's become, I'm so happy for him.
Since Thursday, June 30, he's actually been outside on the front porch with his favorite seashell, sitting in the sun and the wind and loving it. I do miss how he'd snuggle up to me, but I am just happy beyond belief right now. After everything he's been through, as traumatized as he was, he's finally being afforded the opportunity to be accepted for what he is, to be healed, and to be tenderly loved.
I'll say this much. I know Tilia mentioned about how traumatized dyed and heat cracked crystals are. After getting to know about Joshua, I don't believe it. I know it.
I would say agree and say 'don't buy dyed geodes'. There's every right not to buy them as horribly as they're treated, as terrified, traumatized, and terrible as they're left feeling. However, they deserve to be loved, to be healed from the damage that's been done to them. I'd say, don't buy them first hand. Don't buy from people who'd directly done this to them. If you do meet with them, tell the sellers not to dye them. That they're "much prettier" not died or heat cracked.
Go to flea markets or thrift stores. Rescue them from there and affort them a chance to bathe in love and to heal in your home and your presence.
I know we humans won't stop mistreating nature in all of its many forms, but we can at least try and fix some of the damage that's been done to these precious individuals.

As for Joshua, as of right now, he seems pretty darned content and happy, especially when he gets to play around in front of my camera and get pictures taken. He absolutely loves the attention he gets, and I'm glad I get the opportunity to be in his presense and to help him feel happy in whatever he does.

Part 2

Now, Melanie. She was fortunate not to have been dyed. I get the feeling she is much 'younger' than Joshua, the energy that came together to form her having been around a much shorter time than what it's been for him.
When I first got her, her energy was clean. Either way, I still welcomed her to my home and went outside to place her in the ground and allow her energies to ground. I set her down into the soil, not burying her though, placed a little salt on her, and a few rose petals around here. I began back up the front steps to the house and immediately I could see her standing there to my left astrally / in spirit. I paused a moment and looked at her. There she was, this young woman, softly glowing white, wearing a simple, white dress, standing still and looking at me with this totally blank expression.
The only way I can really think of to describe her is a newborn baby. Everything is simply so new, the baby has no idea what to do. It doesn't know what it can do or feel or make or sense. There isn't any anger or saddness or joy. Just a quiet, blank watching. As if being in a world so drastially new and different that it just was having difficulty comprehending things.
It only took me about 5 minutes of sitting inside, able to sense her simply standing there, before I went back outside to retrieve her. After washing her off, four of my crystals had spoken up (they were the ones who nudged me to go back outside and get her). I set the little geode down in front of my computer monitor then surrounded it with the four crystals. Three Lemurian, one "regular" quartz.
On and off I'd peek in spiritually to see what was going on. I mean, I could sense them at work with her, but was largely told to keep my distance as they did so.
Eventually one of them let me know that they were helping to 'bring her down' from the level she was at, to help her comprehend where she was and to be able to communicate.
After several days, the group had me back them away from the geode a little (though still keeping in close distance with her) and she and I got to talk. Well, I use the word 'talk' loosely.
I was told she was 'Melanie'. I had to ask about twice. I got the 'Mela' but thought, at first, it was 'Melody'. But no. "Melanie".
She was use to communication, existence as energy, as that music I heard that one day when I was outside. Immediate, efficent, clean. heh, she commented that she felt 'speaking' like we do feels innefficent and low. After that, nothing else. At least not to me.
She's spent a bit of time close to me, sitting at my side or up on my shoulder, getting use to my energy, but hasn't really sung or spoken to me again.
She's currently much more aware of her surroundings but I can sense she feels very much so like an alien here. Her curiousity has been getting perked about this 'new enviroment' she's in, but it's quiet and subdued like her demeanor is.
I can't complain. As long as she's able to find contentment and comfort here with the presence of myself and my other stones and crystals, then I'm good.

I did get a double dose of a surprise yesterday. I recently got 3 more Lemurian crystals from Ebay (thanks to some nudgings I got from spirit that kept going 'more Lemurian crystals' and would NOT let me alone until after I found this specific trio).
From the first moment I took these three new crystals out of their plastic wrapping, I noticed something. They were singing. They were singing like I'd heard that one day when I was outside and properly listening. This, however, I wasn't trying to hear or even listen to.
I sort of watched and listened, pleasantly surprised. Then, I noticed something. It's because they were reacting to and greeting Melanie in her own native language!
For about 10 minutes they kept this up and did so happily, then chattered between themselves. I don't know about what, but did ask me, more from feeling than from words, to set them all standing up, not laying on their sides. So, I broke out a bit of modelling clay and sat the trio up in front of my pc monitor.
Normally I take any new stones or crystals I have around here and cleanse and ground their energy. These three I did not get that feel from so I left them be.
I ended up laying down and taking a nap closeby to them and WHOA did I get a surprise when I woke up. I was vibrating. Not like sort of vibrating you get when on one of those magic fingers beds, but my energy was vibrating and YIKES was it not fun! I mean, don't get me wrong. There was no malice or negative energy attached, but it was just not a pleasant feeling. (They're just use to running at a much higher vibration than what I'm use to and, when they tried talking with one another and then with me in spirit as I snoozed, it sort of hit me and bam! I woke up feeling the way I did.)
After putting a bit of distance between them and myself, letting myself get back to feeling normal, I felt the nudge I got from spirit, got a bowl, placed them in there with another one of my crystals about their size, put a tumbled quartz in the middle of their little circle, then put them back into the room where the rest of my stones and crystals are currently at, in the presence of my new teacher Lemurian crystal. I honestly think they just need some time to come down from where they're at in order to do any working with me without making me feel uncomfortable.
Now, I don't know about where they, the souls connected with these three new Lemurian crystals, come from (I mean, duh, yes I know that they're from that other dimension where Jin and Taré are from), but I do know what they look like.
I was told to sit down and draw. As of late, when I really need to quiet down and meditate but don't want to do it holding any crystals (due to getting interrupted or not a quiet enough time and place to do so), I'll get nudged to sit down and begin to draw.
Well, I did. The connection was made between myself and this trio and I got a surprise. Unlike everyone else (the few I've had the pleasure of getting to know thus far), this trio wasn't human. Not even remotely. (Okay, yes I know I shouldn't stereotype and expect the soul of every stone and crystal I come into contact with to be human in appearance, or even humanoid, but still! When you see red apple, red apple, red apple, green apple, green apple, red apple, then suddenly you see an orange or a strawberry, of course you're going to stop and go 'O_o Wha-!?')
So, I saw them. One was this lizard-like creature. Stood up and moved on its legs, upright like us, but had two lines of spines like a hedgehog or fish running down the length of its body all the way down to the tip of his tail.
One was this husky, fluffy, feline (more like tiger) type creature, standing like the lizard one does, comfortably upright and on his back legs.
The third, peculiar as it is has a watery-type appearance. She can change and reform her appearance at will, but is always in the watery state.
Each one wears a robe of white and I noticed something I hadn't noticed with the Lemurian crystals I'd gotten to know before these three. These three were carrying a single form of light.
The tiger one showed me holding his light in front of himself, one hand on top, one hand held beneath.
The lizard one kept pointing to his back and I could see carried there on his back was a large, rectangular form of white lighted energy.
The water one holds her white lighted energy like the tiger one does, sometimes in front of herself, or, sometimes, held within herself.

I asked what this white lighted energy was, and they told me that it was the energy their crystals had been charged with carrying, protecting, and sharing with those who wished to know and were activated by their energy.
I took a moment, wondering if the other Lemurian crystals were like this. I mean, I'd gotten to hang around Jin and Taré, talk with both, but I hadn't noticed this with them. Come to find out (don't know why it'd be different for them, duh me), they both carry information as well. I simply didn't notice it because 1, I wasn't interested in the information they carried, I was interested in *them*, and 2, they knew this and didn't make it as clear and obvious as this trio has. (That, and they've been here in my home for a few years and sensed that my priorities, for the time being, don't revolve solely around gaining access to the information they protect.)
I'll admit this. Yes I know. I've heard and read about how Lemurian crystals had information placed within them so when the time was right (the here and now for us), we'd be able to access this information and use it to help ourselves and our world. Heck, I even spoke with two little Lemurian crystals some years back where they showed me this information themselves, but their story was focused more on how they came to exist, not so much the importance on the information their crystals were carrying.
Today, Friday, because I've been having some serious difficulty wrapping my physical little mind around this whole subject, one of my Lemurian crystals that I hadn't spoken to yet, called me to her.
She had me join her astrally at a water fountain. I sat down next to her. This young, pretty, human woman wearing a Roman / Greecian robe, her hair done up neat but simply in a large bun.
She helped me gather my thoughts, calm me down, and understand this whole subject. (Which has SERIOUSLY helped me out in being able to write this in as smooth of a fashion as I've been able to.)
3/4 of the way through our conversation I came right out and asked her. I know Lemurian crystals carry information from that era. Important information. I asked her what sorts. She replied, all sorts. Mostly focusing on energy usage, healing, and peace. (It gets way more detailed, varied, and complicated than that, but that's the nutshell, super-simplified version I got.)
Then I felt a little bad, asking her if it was right of me to have these Lemurian crystals in my care but not using them, not accessing them for the information they stored. I just basically bought them because I felt drawn to do so, then set them aside.
She laughed a bit and reassured me it was all fine. Though Lemurian crystals do carry this information with them to anyone who wants to access and learn from it, they are not strictly limited to only having that one property, that one responsibility. There are many ways to learn from Lemurian crystals and to be influenced by them without the need, want, or desire to access the information they carry.
Simply being in the presence of one of these crystals can affect a person. Then there are those, like me, who listen to and learn from them. Not the crystal itself, but the soul who is connected with the crystal form.
I was glad to hear about that, and she reassured me that not everyone is ready to learn or use the knowledge stored within their crystal form and that's perfectly fine.
So, yay me! Whew!

Part 3

Up until now, I've largely stuck with telling you about the souls connected with the Lemurian crystals and two geodes I've gotten to know. However, these aren't the only ones I've gotten to know.

I've gotten to know a bit about a blue Tiger eye stone and a red Tiger eye stone.
These two, from what I felt, come from the same planet. (Remember, not the stone itself, the soul connected to these stones.)
Neither one has the ability to speak and I got the distinct feeling that, for the most part, on their planet, that's pretty common. They do use their emotions to express themselves, but don't talk.
Because I didn't sense a name from either one (got the feeling that it's normal for the ones on their home planet don't have names. They just 'are'.), for my own sake, I named the blue Tiger eye stone "Blue" and the red Tiger eye stone "Red".
Blue I got to know first. She's very much so a warrior. She's human in appearance, but has some subtle colorations on her skin that aren't normal for our (human) species. Have you ever seen Spock from Star Trek? Those pointy little elf ears he has? That's the sort of ears she has as well.
Red, on the other hand, is much more feline-like. She has the same, pointy little ears that Blue has, but her forearms and hands are very similar to a feline's, but having four digits instead of five, legs with the build and standing like a cat's, and a very lion-like tail. She even showed me one time when she attacked some sort of little energy sucking creature. Claws extended, baring her teeth, hissing as she attacked to defend one she was charged with caring for.
A curious little detail she shared with me is the fact that she has a rock in the tail fluff. For her 'tribe' (for lack of a better word to use), it's normal to pick a rock and work it into the fur of the end of the tail to use it as a weapon. She made sure I got a good look at it, seeing how the hair/fur was tangled around the rock, making as certain as possible that it'd stay put and not come loose during an attack.
It was strange getting to talk with Blue and Red. Now, like I've mentioned a few times already, I'm not even going to remotely pretend like I know how things are in the dimension they live in, in the realm they exist at. What I know is what these lovely individuals want to share with me.
The most I already know is
1 - that divine beings can and do make visits, recruiting / inviting individuals to attend specalized schools.
2 - it's not at all unusual to be able to teleport from one location to another. (Some peoples use technology, some, who are acutely skilled with their abilities, can do so with the power of their minds. O_o!?) Where as we travel over there astrally, they do the same to come here, although they do have a constant connection with the stone or crystal body they've chosen (or was chosen for them). (I've been rolling this one around in my head for a little bit. It's like a driver and a car. The car being the stone or crystal body, the driver being the soul connected with the stone or crystal. Lots of us just see the stone or crystal and aren't aware there is a 'driver / car' relationship, or some of us can see the car and 'sense' the driver behind the wheel. ...heh... a lot like us, I suppose.)
3 - as alike (with their daily lives) to us as they are, they are on a different frequency than what we are. A lot of what is possible for them simply isn't possible for us because of the different frequency. (...makes me think back to the comment I made about us being radios...)

And then, this evening, Saturday evening, a stone I'm not sure of the name of, deep and tan brown stripes. I've had him here at the house for several years now. He'd been hanging around me for two days now but as I was laying down, he started talking with me. Alarias (well, that's the name he gave me, I get the feeling that though he speaks telepathically perfectly English to me, his native language is a series of clicks) is ...well... trying not to say this in any unkind way... but, he's a bug. The closest I can compare his appearance with is a praying mantis, or maybe a stink bug. Tall, thin, very bug-like. Pincers at the sides of the mouth, big eyes on the sides of his head.
He got a laugh out of my reaction when I saw him (thank goodness he's so light hearted and understanding), though he admitted the first time he saw a humanoid, his reaction was pretty much the same. "So weird!"
His home planet is full of various species like himself, some can fly, some can't, and with lots of really lush, green vegetation. They do have huts and homes to live in, but he admits that they all feel more at home under the leaves.

Then, there's the single most curious individual I've met to date.
You see, a couple weeks back I got this serious nudge to buy a Lemurian crystal. No real direction, just a nudge 'buy a Lemurian crystal'.
So, I went onto Ebay. None of the Lemurian crystals I'd seen yet had stopped me in my tracks and went 'yes! This is the one for me!' That is, until I saw an auction title. The last three words were "Muri Children, Awaken!". That definately made me stop in my tracks.
I went and checked over the auction. Not the crystal I was looking for, but the information the seller posted clicked off something within me. She'd only posted part of the information she'd been given during meditation. There was a link to her blog, to the full post. I went and read.
Well, after reading that, I ended up finding her personal seller website where she was selling, among other things, Lemurian seed crystals. One on a page all by himself clicked for me. He was the one I was to get.
So, I e-mailed her (By the way, her name is Victoria, this is her blog http://sugarcanecreek.blogspot.com and this is to her selling website http://www.victorialenning.com ), saying this one crystal is the one I wanted to buy. The exchange went smoothly and swiftly (wonderful woman by the way), however, a day before she got my payment, she e-mailed me, saying that I'd be getting a surprise with the Lemurian crystal I was getting since he said he wanted to come to me.
She didn't say anything more about the 'surprise', but immediately I knew, she was sending my brother to me.
Now, I'm the youngest of four girls. No brothers in this life. One mom, one dad, one step-mom.
The instant that thought shot through my mind, there was this immediate recognition from a part of me I'm not all that familiar with yet. For that brief instant, I fully understood who was coming my way, but then I brushed it aside. I didn't really think about it again until the two crystals arrived. One was the Lemurian crystal, the other, this clear, palm-sized crystal. Within seconds of holding him, that feeling from days before returned.
Astrally he and I stood together. There was this deep, incredible feeling of love and recognition and family that I've honestly never felt in this life. (Some people have friends or family members they're all deeply connected with and love to bits and pieces. I don't really have that. I tolerate and like my family, I like my friends, but this was a completely different level for me to experience.)
It had been a lifetime since we'd last crossed paths, which felt like so long ago, yet like such a short time. Even now, a full week later of his crystal arriving here, I'm still not entirely sure what he looks like. It's more like what he feels like. I recognize that and this deep familial sense and love.
We've spoken a bit on and off, which I am thrilled about since this is all new to me. Where to start?
Well, I do know I have a younger brother, and older sister, and a mother and father figure.
When Jin and Taré had me meditate with them, astrally escorting / guiding me to my personal healing temple (their name for it), within seconds of arriving there, a figure had appeared. I freaked out. I didn't know who it was and I ... erhm, well, I kind of have a freak-out-knee-jerk-reaction when it comes to new individuals in my presence. (Long story. Trust me, it's best if I just skip over that for now.) So when this new person arrived, I freaked out, demanding they leave. Without any hesitation, the person did so.
It wasn't until a few days later I was thinking about it in the presense of Taré and realized who that person had been. My father.
I have read a little (and I mean an EXTREMELY little) bit about 'spirit families' but, honestly? I really have no idea what all that entails, what brings them together, who they all are, how they're interconnected, none of that. (Kind of kicking myself for that right now since I'm curious to understand.)
But, yeah, getting back to my point, I currently have the crystal my brother is connected with here in my home and in my care.
He's spending most of his days just sitting back, relaxing, watching.
He admitted that he has worried about me since waaaayy back when I first told him of my choice of wanting to take this path, coming to this realm to have this sort of physical body to live from and learn about. He himself had chosen the 'easier path' of learning through the stone and crystal path. He's always worried about me and had made it a point that, in one way or another, he'd force the form he was connected with to cross my path once every life to check in on me and see how I was progressing. Whether or not I'd consciously recognize him didn't matter. What did is that he would be in close proximity to me and my soul would recognize him.
I find it sorta funny when he commented that he'd made it a personal point to check in on me every life, to just take a peek at how I was progressing and if I 'started going the wrong way', he'd give me a hard spiritual nudge back in the right direction. (He won't fess up and tell me anything more about that though.)
(I know about the whole 'free will' thing we have, and if we want to royally screw outselves over and turn all dark and bad and such, we can and, if determined enough, nothing can sway us from that decision. However, I do get the hint that no matter how 'bad' someone gets, they are always being watched, watched out for, and attempts to gently 'nudge' them back towards the light are always with them.)
I couldn't help but laugh out loud the first afternoon when he got here. I was feeling a bit 'bla' (~*grumbles under breath*~ thank you sooo much mother nature and your blasted monthly visits). He had me go outside and pick a few leaves of kale, lavender and rosemary. I told him three times I didn't like them, but he insisted. After two bites and watching my reaction, seeing just how much I REALLY didn't like them, he just looked at me with some amount of disbelief, having a little bit of difficulty grasping the fact that I didn't like these plants. They were my favorites (over there back home). I told him that my tastes were different because of the way I was brought up here (in this life) and because of the personal preferences of this body.
So, yeah, very interesting getting to be in the presense of my brother.
I think it's awesome because he told me that he's always tried to have our paths cross once every one of my physical lives. This is the first one, he's said, that I've actually been aware of him. (YAY ME!)

So, in short, we may feel things from these stones and crystal in our care, but the soul is not the same as being the vessel. I can look at the crystal my brother is currently connected with and I get it now. I can't look at the crystal and say that crystal IS my brother because the crystals isn't. The soul connected with that crystal is. Just like a driver and a car. I'm not related to the car. I'm related to the person driving the car.

You remember earlier when I talked about the young woman (connected to a Lemurian crystal) I talked with sitting at the water fountain?
During that conversation, when I wondered about it, she told me that the few individuals I've met so far are only a tiny drop in an infantesimally huge ocean of different species that exist, that were asked / chosen to come, learn, grow, and want to be connected with the body of a stone or crystal. These opporunities weren't afforded to everyone, but would offer great insight and learning experiences for the ones who wanted to come. Just like us, like you reading this and myself who's taken the time to write this out, they're on a learning and growing path. As much as they're helping us along our path, in our own ways, we're returning the favor to them.

It's so easy to say and feel that this is such a strange path to walk, to be learning all of this new information, to attempt to wrap your mind around this and not give into the 'WOW this is just 3 different shades of nuts!' feeling. However, if you can overcome that, if you yourself can actually get to communicate with these precious individuals, along with your own guides, guardians, and angels, well, if you ask me, you end up way more blessed than when you began.

Also, something I wanted to add. Even though I have been able to sit down and talk with these individuals, this isn't something I can usually do on the spur of the moment. Sometimes they'll want to sit and talk with me. Sometimes they won't. For some, it's like walking up to a complete stranger on the sidewalk and going 'Hi, tell me your entier life story please'. Some just aren't going to immediately open up and tell you everything. Others, however, happily will because they've finally crossed paths with someone who can listen to them, or because they've been around you for some time and feel perfectly at ease in your company, like an old friend, and know you'll listen.

Now, in closing, I just want to say, you can walk away from this long post thinking whatever you like and that's okay. I'm just humbly sharing what's been so kindly shared with me. I don't know all of what's out there. Just a tiny portion of it. Here's hoping I've helped you understand a tiny piece of it as well, and that you yourself get the honor of talking with one of the lovely souls in your care, get to learn new things, and get to see some of the things I've only begun to experience.

Thanks for your time.
Now go in peace, walk with grace, and move in love!

Oh yeah... and have a cookie! YAY FOR COOKIES!

Something I found interesting just a little while ago.
It started raining, thundering. I turned on my mp3 player and began playing a song I woke up with in my head. Plain White T's - The Rhythm of Love (adorable song, by the way.)
I got the nudge to go back to the room my stones and crsytals were in and play it for them. I plugged in my small speakers, hooked up my mp3 player to it, then sat down to enjoy the song.
I got a surprise and a half as I got in tune with the stones and crystals in there. (Not exactally a meditation, more like... quieting down to be aware of those I am in the presense of.)
Although I could hear this sweet song playing, for them, it sounded more like metallic sqwaks being played out across this little machine. And, to a degree, in spirit, I could hear / sense it too.
I was really sort of taken back by this. How could there be such a dramatic difference between what I heard and what they were hearing / sensing? (I'm still nudging in spirit to figure that one out exactally, but the closest I can get it something about electrical frequency. I could ramble on about what bits I've learned, telepathy, emotional communication, energy vibrations and such, but I'll spare both of us another one of my rambling sessions.)
However, someone did chip in and tell me that not all 'music' (down here at "our level") sounds like that for them. Music played live, whether sung or played on an instrument, is heard exactally as it's played and can be very pleasing. They do enjoy that.

O_o ...okay.

Yes I'm back again! Muwahahahaha!

So, I got up this morning and, since I've had this one Lemurian crystal gently nagging me since last night, and since I could finally sit quietly and undisturbed to do it, I picked her up and meditated with her.
To my amazement, I was astrally taken to what I can really only describe as a baby dragon playground.
This peaceful, clear pond with lily pads, not very big around but a good bit deep. Pretty water. In the middle of it was a very Asian looking little bridge, like this,

and on one of the big lily pads was a ... what I can really only say a pup of a dragon.
I got the feeling that this is basically just like a playground for really young dragon pups to play in. Sort of like a kiddie pool for little kids would be to us. Totally safe, mom or dad closeby and in a mix of watching and relaxing, in a quiet little area reserved just for little ones.
I was stunned. I won't lie about that. However, the real shock came when my attention was pointed to the other side of the pond where this pup dragon's mom was.
Have you ever seen those Asian paintings of dragons or those dragon dancers like this?

But with more of the traditional lizard tail and paws and scales, and had furry eyebrows, mane like a lion, with a line of fur down the spine and ending at the end of the tail.
Like this kind


I just sort of stood there and watched in open-mouthed amazement and thought 'Oh my God... these are real!!!'.
I mean, I've got dragon guides. I know that. I've had several, early on my spiritual path, come here to the property to get some help. I don't know. Somewhere along the way my thoughts about the 'reality' of them sort of fell by the wayside.
Standing there at the edge of this pond, watching this mama dragon relaxing and her pup playing on the lily pads, I was just awed. They are REAL. Like... REAL real. O_O

I made a little noise, a little bit of movement, and this caught both of their attention. In a second, the pup was hiding behind his mom's front paw, and she was in 'protective mama mode' (Yikes!). She just growled a little and glared a warning at me, though never stood up. I have my crystal guide to thank for that, since she was working to calm down and reassure the mama dragon we weren't a threat. Only visitors for a moment.
She must've got the message because she calmed down and went to 'it's okay' to her pup. The pup, though hiding, never stopped peeking his little eyes over his mama's front paw, watching us two with wide, curious eyes.
I then looked down and into the water and saw something move. I looked a bit closer and had to jump back a bit when a water dragon / serpent came up and snapped at me.
I got the feeling it never would've struck me, but was just warning me to back off from it's domain. That's when something else came to me.
You know how the Asian associate dragons with being guardians of water? Well, they sure aren't wrong about that.
I can't speak for all dragons in existence over there, and I'm still learning as I go, but for that one I saw in the water, that was a completely water-bound dragon and wholly looked at the water in that pond as its domain.
After that I was returned back here, thanked my crystal guide for letting me see that, and lol have largely spent the rest of the day trying to really accept what I'd seen. They're real. I mean... like... REALLY real. O_O Dude!!
