LISTEN TO CHILDREN

If you read the entire posting, you will see why I have titled this, " Listen to Children".

We recently returned from the Buffalo, NY area after completing back to back shows there. One show was the geological society rock show and the other was a holistic expo. We met with thousands of people over those two weekends and a lot of information was exchanged. There is one story in particular that I feel would be interesting to share with you because it involved a young girl.

When Dave and I were busy at the Earth Spirit Expo a young girl, maybe about 6 or 7 years old, approached Dave. She said that she looked at everything on our tables and this crystal was the one that spoke to her the loudest. She held a rough piece of rose quartz in the palms of her small hands as she presented the stone up for Dave to see. It was very busy in the booth at the time and Dave was hurrying to wait on customers. He did, however, stop and listen. The little girl said that she really liked the stone but she had a problem. Dave inquired to see what kind of problem. She told him that she did not have the money to purchase the stone and then said to him, “ What can I do?” Dave was taken by how sincere she was, and he liked that such a small one would offer to barter. He decided to just give her the stone and he told her, “ I will give you the crystal if you promise to take care of it.” He liked the way that she presented herself and he decided that the whole gesture was more meaningful then the few dollars he could have collected from selling her the rose quartz. She agreed to take care of the stone and thanked him.

By now I am aware of this presence in our booth and the two of us watch her leave and walk into another booth where her mother was set up as a vendor/healer. The experience did not end there. A short time later she returned and presented Dave with a book. She looked up at Dave and said, “ Thank you very much for the stone. Here is a book that I want to give to you.” Dave took the book and thanked her and as she started to walk away, she stopped, turned around and said, “ Take good care of the book!”

Later on Dave and I looked at the book. It is called Illuminated Prayers by Marianne Williamson. The book is composed of a number of short prayers that are filled with inspiration and spiritual wisdom. I would like to share one with you. It is the one that is found on the back of the book’s dust cover. It is:

Dear God,
As I wake up this morning, may Your spirit come upon me.
May my mind receive Your emanations, my soul receive Your blessing,
and my heart receive Your love. May all those I meet or even
think of on this day feel better for it. May I contribute peace.
May I serve Your purposes with all I say and do, today and always.
Please show me how.
Amen


Having shared this experience with you, reminds me about another young person. That person is Andrew and here is that story for those of you who haven't heard it.



Mother Earth Sphere, Andrew’s Story

In 2003 we were introduced to a new find ( for us ), the Mother Earth Spheres. When I was seeking information from the Sphere, I heard that this stone will go to those who need it and that the people that obtain it will know what it is for and what to do with it. Generally, the minerals that we sell come with a description of the mineral and the metaphysical properties that they possess. In this instance, the Mother Earth Sphere was telling me that those who need it will seek it out and will know how to use it.

My husband, Dave, is a Reiki Master Teacher and has been blessed with the gift of working with young children. Some of which have special needs or may be gifted beyond their natural years. Several years ago, Andrew, a marvelous 7 year old boy came to visit Dave. Dave did not have a regimen for Andrew to follow, but instead let Andrew take the lead. Pretty soon Andrew discovered the 83 pound Mother Earth Sphere. He placed it in the center of our healing room and then began placing other minerals in a circle around the Sphere. At least 8 rows of different minerals were arranged around the circumference of the Mother Earth Sphere. Each stone was selected and strategically placed by Andrew. The process took about 2 hours and when he finished he asked Dave to listen. Andrew tapped the Sphere with the zipper of his sweatshirt. He said, “ Did you hear that?” Dave was a bit surprised when Andrew tapped the Sphere and wasn’t prepared to hear anything. He told Andrew, “ No, I’m sorry. I didn’t hear anything.” So Andrew tapped the huge Sphere again. This time Dave heard the faint ring as the Sphere sent out a vibration when Andrew tapped it. “ Ahh, yes,” Dave replied, “ I did hear it!”
Then to this Andrew exclaimed, “ Good. This is for the healing of all mankind. “

How blessed we were to be in the presence of this old soul, a 7 year old named Andrew. With this affirmation, we were firm believers that the Mother Earth Stones would fall into the hands of those that would need and use them. Since that time, many have been placed in areas of the Earth for healing.

I apologize that the picture above is not clearer. It is the actual grid that Andrew created back then.

Thanks for reading this post. If you have gotten this far you will understand why Dave and I are firm believers that it is important to, “ Listen to Children ”.
