Falling In Love With Rose Quartz- A Heart Chakra Meditation
Over the past several weeks I immersed myself in heart chakra stones. I wanted to put together a collection of Heart Chakra jewerly as part of my Valentine’s day jewelry sale. I took out all of my pink gemstone beads and began designing Heart opening necklaces. The more I worked with Rose Quartz the more I feel in love with this stone all over again. All pink and green stones are Heart Chakra stones. There are many pink and green gemstones in the mineral kingdom and I have a vast collection of these heart stones. It is easy to over look the lovely soft Rose Quartz. As I worked with Rose Quartz I began to connect once again to its amazing energies.
While the vibration of Rose Quartz is soft and gentle, it is also very powerful. This stone reminds us that love begins with ourselves. >> Continue reading

Celebrate Buddha’s Birth: Meditate!
This full Moon, May 9th, is one of the most auspicious dates in the Tibetan Buddhist Calendar. The May full moon is known as Wesak, the celebration of the birth and Ascension of Gautama Buddha and the enlightened consciousness of the Buddha within humanity. It is an excellent time to do meditation practice, as the benefits and merit for all sentient beings are exponentially multiplied.
Many teachers say it is a time when all the Masters of all beliefs are present. At this time we have the ability to access sacred knowledge, a deeper understanding of universal law, and a higher consciousness. An opening is created through the veil of obscurity, and we have an opportunity to actually see and know the true nature of things.
I will be practicing the Prajna Paramita practice with the Key West Tara Mandala Sangha. >> Continue reading

What are you doing for Earth day?
In honor of Earth Day, April 22 I am going to celebrate this great planet Earth with a meditation using the gemstone Chrysocolla. Chrysocolla is a beautiful Turquoise blue- green gemstone that reminds us of the earth when viewed from outer space.
It is known as a stone for healing the Earth. Chrysocolla’s vibration is closely attuned to the Earth and can bring us into a empathic connection to Mother Earth.
Focusing attention on our Mother Earth we can send out healing energy for all living beings, for all Earth’s creatures great and small, for the land, for the water for the natural beauty and bounty that the Earth offers each and everyone of us.
While holding a Chryscocolla I will pray for healing and send out thoughts of love and appreciation.

Walk gently

Yoga Love
Rose Quartz is perhaps one of the best known gemstones in the crystal world. Commonly known as the “stone of love.” I’ve been placing a Rose Quartz heart by my Yoga mat for the past week, in honor of Valentine’s Day. It helps me put my focus on heart opening yoga poses. Asanas like, cobra pose, cat pose, upward facing dog and bridge pose. At the end of my yoga sessions I sit and meditate with Rose Quartz and listen to its gifts.
Rose Quartz first and foremost reminds us to love ourselves. Each day when I get on my mat I am demonstrating this self love. I bring self acceptance to the mat when I feel the tightness in my muscles, and forgive the places in my body where it is difficult for me to stretch further. We often distance ourselves from self love when we feel un-entitled to it, or less than, or unworthy, or even guilty. >> Continue reading

Amethyst for Meditation: Looking for Wisdom
I admit, I let my meditation practice slip. It hasn’t disappeared, just been put on hold. Until today. Today I put on my OM necklace with Amethyst and sat down to meditate. Inspired to come back to my meditation cushion by a Dharma Talk given by Lama Migmar Tseten. Lama Migmar is a Buddhist chaplain at Harvard University. He founded the Sakya Institute in Cambridge, MA. www.lamamigmar.com.
Lama Migmar is visiting here in Key West FL, giving talks to help “Free Your Mind” from stress, and emotional patterns that cause confusion in our lives. He presented an overview of basic techniques found in the wisdom traditions of Tibetan Buddhism for achieving tranquility and insight, cultivation of positive emotions and achieving a state of awakening. He reminded me that through meditation we can free our minds from wondering thoughts and focus attention. >> Continue reading
