For at least the last ten years of my life I have suffered from “whiteheads” on my face. They itch and are unsightly on a face already battling the effects of aging.  On a visit to the dermatologist for another issue, I casually asked the doctor what the content of those nasty little white pimples was. She stated “keratin” and gave me samples of a topical to put on my skin to “dry them up.” Ha! All I got was a dry, even itchier red face. I research everything I write about, b

Often wonder what’s behind food cravings? The answer is simple. Food cravings are a result of the body craving a nutrient that is either already deficient/lacking in the body OR needed by the body to balance an excess of one or more other nutrients. The human body is a plethora of constantly occurring chemical reactions. Respiration (oxygen intake, carbon dioxide release), digestion (it takes thousands of chemical reactions to process from start to finish one forkful of mash

One’s ability to digest and then extrapolate nutrition from the food eaten is the most important function of the human body. Some may argue that the cardiovascular (heart) or nervous systems (brain) are more important, but without a healthy digestive system (that is, the stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder, pancreas and both bowels) working in total harmony, neither the brain nor the heart can function at peak capacity. There are many activities on human agenda that takes it

I still don’t understand why modern medicine ignores the element/mineral content in the human body when diagnosing health issues and looking for cures for simple ailments such as diarrhea, chronic joint and muscle pain, autoimmune and auto deficiency diseases to name a few. I’m certainly not anti-drug but I AM for using more than urine and blood to calculate healing steps for the infirmed. A simple root vegetable such as onion for example will add Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Folat

All rocks except for a few like Obsidian and coal are constructed by minerals. (Obsidian is made of glass, and coal is built with carbon, an element that can’t be converted into a simpler structure.) Crystals occur when one or more minerals “bond” together and form a crystalline structure. Every mineral has its own energy signature. The bonding of different minerals creates unique energy signatures that are classified under different crystal systems. There are 118 elements in

Some years ago, my husband Howard gifted me with a small box of four crystals for Christmas. Thanks be to Howard for the mystical journeys he has sent me packing along.   The gifted crystal box came with a narrative that said this crystal does this, this crystal does that. HA! I have an engineer’s mind that screamed, “Ain’t no #$*!?ing way.” The scream was so loud and enticing that the next day I did some minor crystal research and became totally obsessed with understanding t

Sometimes I wonder if every experience I sometimes must suffer through is part of my researcher/teacher archetype. Seems like every issue I face has, at its root, something I need to research and then teach about. But pimples?! I'm a septuagenarian, not a teenager! I've had these disgusting whitehead pimples on my face for over ten years. If this is TMI, hit delete now! I asked the dermatologist if we could biopsy them so I could figure out what substance was excessive in my

Imagine a world where you cannot smell anything. How about a world where you can’t hear? How about the eating experience where the food has no taste? Imagine you touch someone or are touched and feel nothing? Eyes that see nothing. Stop! DO NOT imagine any of this. Instead, use your imagination to visualize all five of the human senses, taste, touch, smell, sound and sight working at peak levels. That’s better! However, when any of the senses begin to depreciate, it may be ti

Balance is the most sought-after element of the material/physical existence of every human being. More so for those born under the sign of Libra, whose constellation symbol is the scales of justice. But even for the rest of us, the need for balance emotionally, mentally and physically is preprogrammed into birth DNA. As I stress so often, the entire planet we humans have claimed as our own is designed in perfect polarity. Day/night, hot/cold, love/hate. The human body is no d

The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese (Sri Lanka) word “turmali," meaning a gemstone with mixed colors. There are over ten different types of tourmalines but what isn't different is the basic elemental makeup of tourmalines. You could say that tourmaline is not a single mineral but is a group of several related minerals.   Tourmaline forms in very aesthetic slender crystals whose gemstone quality is highly valued by collectors. All tourmalines are piezoelectric, meanin

The crystal Shungite is unlike any other crystal in as much as it contains Carbon 60, a carbon molecule that is constructed with 60 carbon atoms that combine to form an empty “cage like” structure capable of holding the atoms of other elements. Shungite contains the elements carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, Iron, aluminum, and silicon. Found primarily in Karelia Russia, Peter the Great used Shungite in the first recorded “spa” of the 16

There is no one crystal guaranteed to move energy for any specific ailment, whether the issue is rooted in emotional, physical, mental or spirit issues.   To zero in on the possible crystal to use to use for any energy imbalance in one or more of the four mind-bodies one must consider every aspect of the crystal AND the body operating systems that are most related to the issue. The following example is a fair rendition of information that may help you understand the path of d

If you search the web using the words “scrubber crystals” several websites will appear that list the same seven crystals (probably taken from a book which is no longer in print). The concept of scrubbing crystals was fascinating to me, so I decided to spend three days doing research to satisfy my own curiosity. Here’s what I found. Of the seven scrubber crystals, four contain the elements boron along with the usual oxygen, hydrogen, some sodium, calcium, and magnesium. The ot

The mineral Quartz, composed of silicon and oxygen in a trigonal crystal system, is found in all forms of rocks. In fact, those white beaches and riverbeds one walks on are grains of quartz that have weathered over millions of years. Which may explain an almost universal attraction to beaches. Quartz has been used in electronic devices for many, many years. Industrial use Quartz is manufactured in laboratories from a “seed crystal” of quartz that is carefully selected and fre

My neighbor’s 98-year-old Mother is moving through her transition. My neighbor is a single man, so I have been spending more time with him than I usually would to help him through her transition.   As an outside observer, I am listening intently as he describes his mother’s daily physical ups and downs. I see that it appears that Mom’s organs who have collectively and magnificently performed to provide Mom a great life on Earth are now racing as a team to gently allow Mom to

Obsidian is an extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock, rich in elements that form when the molten magma of an erupting volcano meets the Earth’s surface and cools instantly. Generally speaking, extrusive rocks form a crystal structure above ground in which other elements/minerals have a chance, over time, to form small crystals. Rapidly cooling magma on the Earth’s surface is not able to form a crystal structure, unlike lava which cools slowly.   Crystal structures, or systems as

Jasper is a group of quartz crystals that contain fine-grained Quartz and other foreign matter. Jaspers are formed by the bonding of oxygen and impure varieties of silica. A jasper's color is based on other minerals (elements) that were present when the jasper formed.   The word jasper comes from the Anglo-French “jaspre" which means spotted or speckled stone. Jaspers are distinguishable from other quartz crystals as light cannot be seen through them, are dull and not shiny.

When the human mind enters into a relationship with the structural perfection of a crystal, change and healing is possible. Interfacing with the energy of crystals is not a rational/analytical event but a intuitive/meditative affair that works within the realm of the four mind-bodies. A mind-body is a plane of consciousness that surrounds the human body in a non-physical plane that is connected to the human body by cords of color and light.  The individualized archetypal make

Crystals hold varying frequencies of influence as a result of their many unique characteristics (color, system, mineral, etc.). Some crystals such as pure quartz for example can hold massive amounts of electrical energy, whereas Jasper’s data storage capacity is much less. The secret to working with crystals is to match a crystal’s ingrained frequency to whatever one’s needs may be at the moment. Let’s say one’s feeling out of sorts; chaos is appearing in most every area of l

I recently showed The New Stone Age, Crystal Data for the 21st Century  to a seventy-plus year old friend of my husbands. He wouldn’t even touch the book stating, “Just so you know, I don’t share your view of crystals.”   Seriously? What view is that? We’ve never even had a discussion about crystals. What does he even know about crystals? Clearly I was shocked at his limited thinking.   I didn’t invent crystals, God did. Is it so strange to believe that crystals could serve a
