LOVE Rocks!

Robbie and I were walking to the car and I was telling her about my heart rock collection. I told her that I was waiting for Chiro-sister in a parking lot and looked down to see a heart rock. As I was telling her this, I looked down to find this:

I heart Robbie.

How cool is that? A quartz heart rock that I charged up with Reiki and is now in her collection. Some people marvel at this talent for finding heart rocks. It's the same with 4-leaf clovers. It's a visual skill that is an elegant illustration of the reticular activating system. It's the part of your brain that filters out information. We have so much stimuli coming at us that our conscious mind has to sift thru. It's about what's on your radar, and what you're focused on. Whatever you're into, there was a time when you didn't know about it. Take labyrinths, for example. There was a time when I wasn't aware of them. Then I had an experience of them with Susan and suddenly I saw them everywhere. In fact, I saw that Doug O'Brien had one on the cover of my Ericksonian Hypnosis instruction manual that I'd had for a few years before I even noticed!

I guess the question is: What's on your radar? What new thing are you noticing? What has become automatic? Something to think about . . . .

Sweet Surprise

I got a sweet surprise in the postbox yesterday. No note, just a heart-shaped rock in a padded envelope. I'm a smiley kind of gal anyway. But this put a smile in my heart. I walked the labyrinth and that little phrase A merrie heart maketh glad the day and there you'll find your treasure came as a reminder as I reached the center. I needed a background to take a picture of the rock and this card seemed appropriate. :-) H.H.

Mum, You ROCK!

Mum is back from Scotland, and she brought me back a heart-shaped rock. Isn't this AWESOME? My internet connection has been on & off today...perhaps the rain is affecting the satellite? Dunno. Anyway, will write more tomorrow. :-) H.

Heart Rocks

My friends Bess & Val are here for the weekend. Bess is my dear GSF from massage therapy school & her hubby is also my web-guy. He commented v. dryly as he was surveying my collection of heart rocks in my bay window, "Hearts seem to be as important to you as labyrinths." This is a shot of the cross part of my labyrinth. The center rock is one I salvaged from my first labyrinth in WV, and I have some great chunks of quartz. The center ring of the labyrinth is all heart rocks, too. Will show a pic of that sometime... altho, Mum says you have to use your imagination with some of them. haha
Bess & I are off to a bookfair...great barns FULL of books!! Ah, heaven! Yay, us!
