Challenge Entry
Among the many things that have happened within the last month, one of them was that I received my Certificate for Crystal Healing. A few days after that, I received heartbreaking news & even though there is distance between us… I wanted to do something for this person.
I found a small notepad with a brown leather cover that closes with a leather strap & a leaf charm at the end of the strap. I used the first few pages to write down the intentions for the following pages regarding the person & then I found a clear picture of the person & affixed it to a blank page. Around the picture I wrote all the things I love about the person & the love & healing energy I wanted to be directed towards them. I went through my box o’ charms… & added quite a few to page with the picture & on the back of that page. I added sigils & bindrune drawings around the picture for protection, love, & healing.
This is so hard to explain because last week was full of the everything 
In the middle of creating this book, it wasn’t so… smooth sailing because as I was looking for different things I wound up cleaning up different things. As I was cleaning up things, other things would pop in my head like… ooo… you should make that another altar for ancestor’s, loved ones, meditations, sending energy/healing, small works really. So I also was setting up a second altar at the same time.
I strayed from the healing book to the altar and then went around the room on a hunt for the perfect crystals to put in a small pouch to represent the person & to help with the energy being sent. I added:
- Rose Quartz pieces
- Orange Kyanite pieces
- a Clear Quartz tumble
- Blue Apatite
I put the pouch on the altar next to the book & found a Rose Quartz point to put on top of the page with the picture on it. Then I set up a crystal grid & put the open book in the center with the selected crystals around the book.
I set up my Brigid, her offerings, with a lit white candle & Sage incense. I sat & focused all of my intent & energy on sending all the love, healing, & protection I could possibly send that way. I left everything up overnight. When I woke up in the morning to clear the offerings from the day before & start a new day, I closed the book & left it on the altar, put the crystals back in their pouch, then placed the closed book with the pouch & Rose Quartz point & have kept it on my altar.
I journaled about the experiences each day because this also didn’t all happen in one afternoon. It actually happened over the course of last week. So Wednesday will be a week since I got the book & pouch set up so I will “refresh” the book & crystals so to speak by cleansing & resetting my intentions.
(This is why I use a few pages in the front, about 3 or 4 pages per person, & then a few pages in the back of the book. I did those after I finished adding the charms around the picture & to the back page & then to the back of the book)
So by Friday afternoon, I took at least a 2-hour nap in the afternoon, but the rest of the evening was good & slow & relaxing. Of course, with all the heat, everyone just kind of wants to stay in the house & we find movie themes to watch…
