SACRED STONES FOR PLANTING TREES.....
Supporting Tree Sisters who will plant 3 trees for every bag sold...
Maybe you are here because you have received or bought a little bag with a couple of stones/crystals in it and you are wondering how to use them.
First of all let me explain that I never thought I would find myself teaching people how to communicate with stones! It has been a long and amazing journey that started with holding a stone and simply asking if it will help me. It sounds insane I know but some stones will will not help, they will say no and you will have to ask until you find one that says yes. It started with stones but now I have come to believe that many things we consider inanimate actually have an amount of consciousness, maybe very different from our own and maybe much simpler but there nevertheless.
But I have asked all the stones in these little bags so you don't have to worry, no stones have been harmed in the making of this product. Please read my blog post on this website site titled
The Patients of Stones..... for the full story of how I came to be talking to the stones like a crazy person. For instructions on how to use the stones in your bag please see below. If you would like to order some please email using the contact form below and I will contact you as soon as possible. They are £2.50 each plus postage and all profits go to Tree Sisters who so far have planted over 22 million trees around the world.
THE RIVER PEBBLE........
As old as time itself, these river pebbles have been waiting for us to just notice that they would like to help. Any of the elements, earth, air, fire and water can transform what we think of as bad energy into something new. In shamanic practice we don't think of energy as good or bad, rather we think of it as heavy or light or sometimes sticky. Someone else's bad mood can stick to us if we are feeling vulnerable or tired or are experiencing difficulties in life. These are times to use the river pebble to release the bad or heavy feelings by blowing them into it. Raise the stone to your mouth and feel the heavy feeling and blow it into the stone with a shushsh noise. We use the sound to carry the energy into the stone.
The stone will be able to hold quite a lot of pain but you might have to clear it out from time to time. Hold it under running water, bury it in the ground for a few hours or leave it out on a windy day. You can also thank it and rub drop of oil on it. One of the basic principles of shamanic practice is understanding that everything has a consciousness and therefore a role to perform. You can think of water as having an intention and fire wanting to transform one substance into another. Once you start to notice the stones and realise you can ask them to help you, you will begin to appreciate that we are never alone and that there are many conscious helpers around us all the time from the plants and trees to the animals and insects who might come to bring a message. The world really can be as magical as you hoped it might be.
A CRYSTAL.......
This is a little crystal to hold all your hopes and dreams and gratitude. In a similar way to the river pebble hold it up to your mouth and blow in with a shushshsh sound all the nice things in your life, the people you love, family and friends, past and present. Most of us have so much to be grateful for even if we are struggling, a roof over our head and food in the cupboard. Blow into the crystal all the things you can think of that you are grateful for, no matter how small. Then think of all the things you would like to be grateful for. What do you dream of enjoying? Whatever it is, imagine you already have it and blow the gratitude you feel into the crystal. Let your imagination run wild with all the possibilities you only dare dream of, the dream job or holiday. Where would you like to live or be in a few years time? Blow it all in to the crystal and add to it whenever you remember something you would like to experience or achieve. Anything is possible in this exercise so feel into what your impossible self could do and blow it into the crystal. If you are having a tough day get it out and practice gratitude first before moving onto your hopes and dreams.
You will also find a little note naming the crystal so go online and see what it can be used for and how it might help you. Try not to think of these stones as good or bad, rather that they can hold light or heavy energy.
TOUCH WOOD HEART
"Touch wood and whistle" or "knock on wood" are old sayings that hope to bring luck or at least prevent any bad luck being brought on. They actually originate from the practice of knocking on a tree trunk to ask the spirit of the tree, what the Greeks would call a dryad or we might think of as a fairy to bring some luck or ward off evil. People used to make offerings to the spirits of trees and decorate tree with ribbons in exchange for wishes or spells. We continue this practice today when we bring in trees and decorate them at Christmas, we even supply the fairy at he top of the tree. So I decided to include a small wooden token of love in this little bag as a reminder that we have planted three trees with each bag sold and in gratitude for the beautiful trees that make our world so green and lush and provide the very oxygen that we need to breath.

MY LOCATION
I work from my home in Mitcham where I do most healings. For certain services and in special circumstances I can come to you or your home. Mitcham is served by mainline train station Mitcham Eastfields which is 10 minute walk from me. Also the busses 270, 280, 264, 355, 127 and S1,
There is also Mitcham tram stop (not to be confused with Mitcham Junction). I am afraid there is no parking on my road but pay & display a minutes walk away. If you have any problems with mobility please let me know so I can make special arrangements for you.
FEES & AVAILABILITY
I am available most days of the week if booked a couple of weeks in advance and I can be flexible with times if an evening or weekend is more convenient. A typical healing will last between 1-2 hours usually about 90 mins.
I ask for a donation based on what you feel you can afford between £90-£120. I understand the recent financial pressures everyone has been under so please let me know if this is still unaffordable and I can offer a concession in certain circumstances.
Payments in cash or bank transfer only please at this time.
COVID CONCERNS..........
I have had my Covid vaccination. I am happy to see anyone regardless of whether they have had the vaccine or not. I am happy to wear a mask to make clients comfortable however part of the healing may be blowing into the body while making a shhhhh sound in order to move energy around. So if this is a worry for you then please get in touch to discuss your concerns further.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING HEALINGS
That depends on the healing requested or required. For some healings I will place my hands under your head, for others I may hold your hand while I journey for your healing. During the healing I will place stones and crystals on your body and may touch you with feathers, dried leaves or a rattle. You will always remain fully clothed. There may moments where I put tiny amounts of oil on your hands or forehead. The priority is that you feel safe and and physically comfortable at all times although you may experience a range of emotions and feelings. If on the other hand you need help moving about I am glad to assist you as needed and as I have mentioned I have had my COVID vaccination. I am someone who can be anxious about interactions with new people so please get in touch with any concerns you have about anything to do with the potential healing.
Clients averagely visit 2-3 times for each problem they would like help with. However I will usually give you a small task to perform such as writing a letter to someone before burning it or starting to look after yourself in some way. It is your homework and unless you have completed the task there is not much point in keeping on returning because this type of healing is about helping you heal yourself.
Other healings can be a one off depending on what you would like help with. This sort of work really is dependent on you the client and how you feel about continuing. Sometimes tough feelings can surface and it takes time for them to be processed and dealt with. If you are meant to have additional healings then you will.
Allow for at least 90 minutes sometimes longer unless you have requested a particular rite or ritual that is shorter like a Despacho or Wilka Mayu initiation. Again please get in touch with specific queries regarding your appointment.
At my home on the London/Surrey unless we make special arrangements for me to come to you. Some services like home cleansing or fire ceremonies will be done at a residence or outdoor area that can accommodate more people. Cacao ceremonies are also held in places that can hold a number of people and in that case I will come to you.
Usually It is possible to bring a friend or relative in some cases. Having someone with you that you know during the healing may make you feel hesitant about opening up to feelings and emotions that come up during the healing. In special circumstances someone can wait in another room in the house for all or part of the healing. The important thing is that you feel safe so please ask any questions you might have.
