I use crystal balls for meditation, for bringing their own special properties into my life, and for the aesthetic beauty of them. I have a few, small crystal balls around my house. Near me as I type is a fluorite crystal ball to cleanse the area of electromagnetic stress and protect me against negative influences.

A sphere feels especially good in the hands during meditation or healing, as the energy vibrates from its entire surface. I don't have an serpentine and would love to experience its power.

In my hypnotherapy and reiki practice, I use stones and crystals of all kinds to assist my clients in their healing. A number of people come for past life regressions, and also for things like substance abuse of different kinds. I don't currently have a serpentine stone, and whether I win this or not, apparently I need to have one! Namaste!

I have several crystal balls and really don't use them for anything. I just have them around because they look pretty . They're also good for gazing into. I like them in my home because they're round. Good for feng shui. No sharp edges.

OK, OK, OK how do I use crystal balls? Well, first as mentioned I have health issues, so I got a whole bunch of ‘em from Lisa’s store (whoops, I promised Sheila I would only patronize her store, I guess now the cat is out’a the bag ) and they were green jade and jasper. Now, let’s back track on the trail a little bit. I have been hooked on circles and spheres forever. I have drawings from both my 7th & 8th grade mechanical drafting classes of spheres and circles upon circles upon circles. A few years back I use to look at these pondering “what the heck” since my memory was impaired. Today, much of my memory is restored and decayed, yet that is still a lost link.

But, I just like ‘em. My favorite scene from K-Pax with Kevin Spacey is when he tosses the ideas for the scientists puzzle up in the air and whoola, circles and spheres making sense of the universe. Let me preface some of what I am saying with I believe a sphere is as perfect as a continuum of circles as they get and a circle is only a sliver of a sphere.

Hey, I know, the first experience that I remember and does reoccur with a sphere that has a momentous affect for me is “The Wizard of Oz!” Remember how the good witch Glinda arrives each time? Yeah, man, like I mean she just floats in upon them mystified travelers in a sphere. A perfect sphere that has the capacity to oscillate between small and large, transcendent and also transitional, luminous, opaque, solid, invisible, full of form and yet have the illusion of formless.

And, oh my, the many wondrous sparks of imagination that are produced. Hope doesn’t come alive it becomes alive as it arrives on that “yellow brick” road. Do you remember that feeling of oddness deep inside your stomach each time it floated listlessly from the heavens above? Today, it reminds me of Ezekiel and his wheels (Ezekiel 1:16-21). Then, the sphere (or bubble when speaking as a child) kinda’ dissolves and the complete opposite of the last visiting Witch of the West disappears. Didn’t you want to go and hug your mom, I know I did. (I must have been, what 4 or 5 when first watching it, I dun’ no).

I remember when I used to look for UFO’s I always ignored the thought of saucers preferring the sphere. But, then again a saucer is a sliver of a sphere, isn’t it? I could let my imagination run on that thought the rest of the night, but work will beckon me.

Whoops, I guess I have wandered within a quagmire of thought processes. Spheres are just plain cool! I stated earlier I have a bunch of jade and jasper spheres. They are dispersed all over the house because of their healing, nurturing, restoral, love evoking and dream sensitive qualities. If you take a gander at my pics you will see I have a few on my bathroom vanity. That is my career area for those into Feng Shui. Also, I’ll clean, charge, intent ‘em and finally place in a circle under my bed. Work great for when I need to recharge or am seeking answers in my dreams. I have learned to sleep with a steno pad and pen on the end table, works well when the mystical power takes a’ hold of ‘ya.

Another pic shows them in my walk-in closet or my Land of Oz room. Below is a sign that says “I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore, Toto.” There is a picture of the characters from TWOO facing away and toward Emerald city. OK, OK, OK back to the display. There are three spheres – 2 jade & 1 Jasper and a Cross before most of my Farie collection. There are others. And to the left, (not pictured) are 3 standing Knights clad in armor and one upon his trusty steed. The cross marks the grave of Sir Sremmus, whom is a brave and trusted knight of the Order of the Sword from an ancient land of ‘yore, who transcends time and space to another place where once he was and then not, but again he is. Who now sits before a tribunal of gathered elders, yet is defended at this trial by two very odd men, one with beard and length of hair and another actually kinda bald , , ,(whew , , ,I miss that story tell’n).

The spheres represent the three short stories I have begun once or twice making a trilogy composing hopefully a book. These will fictionally tell my story(s) of my experience with amnesia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, loves gained and lost (are any really lost?), and my view of the future, my inner self in an unfamiliar reality, and the continuum of learning of and within a most wonderful universe.

Another pic shows my altar of artifacts in my wealth/prosperity/ abundance area in my home (SE). I have placed more Jade here, of which they are spheres. Spheres are kinda’ like a symbol of universal sharing to me, I might guess. They do what, transmute without equivocation, without approximation, without inequality, without loss, directionless, yet with destination, motionless, but with momentum, and they do these while you aren’t looking too!

Another pic shows my writing platter. I have three spheres. One large Calcite “the healer” for my neck once broke and is now calcified, one selenite sphere that is the “Keeper of the door” for inspirational souls, and my fluorite “mentor” who keeps me steady in thought, open to being wrong and/or newness and/or change and assists me with making sense of ????? They each have a unique relationship with me and together they actually are, well kina’ a real hoot, (can’t you see by the writing of these here words that don’t make sense, yet share a mystery to all, ).

Well, Sacred Spirits II by Sacred Spirits has popped up on my tune list for the night and I believe I will retire toward some meditation for now , , ,thank you for sharing your time as I wandered from here to there and then back again , , ,

Hi,

I want to win this Serpentine cristal ball because this is a great energitic cristal.

It's use to help evacuate the stress energy and effort, relieve pain and alleviate some (muscles, joints ...).

Stone very special because she works as much on the past, present and future. Pierre very spiritual promoting the rise of Kundalini, purifying the chakras: it provides access to psychic gifts (crown chakra).
Can connect directly to the source of ill-being to identify and remedy.

Often mistaken for jade which it shares some properties including the work of the kidneys, back and muscles. I find it much more powerful because its energy is more concentrated and goes directly to the area.

When there is the intention before applying to the painful area, its effects are felt quickly. It has the advantage of strong muscles. Wear the permanently setting the day with micropore (surgical tape: paste the cross with a disc to remove makeup to avoid glue on the stone). The back pain will soon disappear if it is of muscle. It would be good to combine with a Ametrine in the solar plexus (chakra) to strengthen the abdominals. You can alternate with the labrador, the bull's eye, the malachite or the chrysocolla (malachite and chrysocolla). The advantage of the serpentine compared to other stones, is that it will also cause the problem.

It is very effective for diabetes and hypoglycemia
(especially the eye of money). It is also a stone of protection against physical injury as the eye of the falcon or Tectite black.
Excellent to address the mental and emotional imbalances. It is a lucky stone. (Normal, it purifies us!).

That's why I want to win this marvelous stone.
