Dreaming About Peter Tongue

Actually, I was dreaming about the number 64.

I don't remember the details of the dream, but when I woke up the number 64 stuck in my head, and  when I found this interview later in the day with Peter Tongue I was struck by the cooincidence.

A perfect blend of spiritual teacher and scientist, Peter Tongue coaches with a system that helps people transmute and transform their restricted beliefs and emotional setbacks into an expanded awareness of balance, harmony and increased personal happiness.  He calls it "The Gene Keys."

The "Gene Keys" is a system based on the link of the 64 hexagrams of the "I Ching" and the 64 condons that make up your DNA.  "The Gene Keys" can show us how to respond to and navigate our way through our life events.

There were a couple of good "64's" in this explanation.  Spooky.  I was compelled to listen to the prerecorded interview between Patty Malek and Peter Tongue on Patty's show, "Soul Talk" to see if I was guided to it for a reason.  Peter was pretty interesting, and I learned a lot.

About 20 minutes in he talks about the bombing in Paris and how people reacted.  Even though       the bombing was meant to create fear and lock the city down in lower fear frequency vibrations, there was actually a wave of spiritual activation into higher frequencies.  People took advantage of the opportunity to grow, show compassion and love and support, and awaken into higher love frequencies.  According to Peter there were 785,000 people involved in the awakening; a very powerful global healing process took place because of this, which also created a wave of growth and healing in the planet.

You can guess what happened next: the history making climate talks in Paris - the Paris agreement on climate change - COP21.  The United Nations actually came together to find ways to relieve the global greenhouse effect.  Countries will aim to achieve carbon neutrality in the second half of the century.  They will gradually stop using the most polluting fossil fuels in order to reach this goal.

It's a great big step toward the healing of the planet.

I love the quote displayed on the home page of the website that explains the agreement, www.cop21.gouv.fr :  "Long live the planet, long live humanity, long live life itself."

Peter says that when we do our own internal healing, we are healing those around us, including Mother Earth.  "When we awaken, when we get into our inner work, Mother Earth is also benefiting and clearing all of the pollution and environmental stuff out of her body as well.  As we clear, she clears.

Just imagine, every time that you as an individual clear some emotional blockage within your system, you're doing it on behalf of everybody else that carries that same emotional blockage, and you're resolving it on behalf of mother earth herself.  So, when people say they feel helpless or hopeless and don't know what to do to help, all you have to do is go within and do your own inner work and you're helping."

This is how the "Gene Keys" system works:  There are two processes.  One is an evolutionary journey that starts with the base of the body through the crown.  The other is a spiritual download from the crown Chakra to fill every cell of your body with your higher self.  Because it is painful to try to load your higher spiritual state into a low vibrating body, the "Gene Keys" work to clear the low frequency shadows to allow a distillation process, a purification of the energy body, so that we can carry more of our infinite spiritual self in our physical form.  It's a double flow up and down Ascension process.

It also involves clearing ancestral traumas and wounds. So as you heal yourself, you heal your ancestors and your genetic history.  As we unravel our wounds our DNA actually shifts.  When you become aware of the repeating emotional patterns you can start healing those patterns.  When you unravel a core wound like that you can feel the physical changes and shifts in your body.  It's a permanent shift.  The natural conclusion is for us to shift into a higher frequency and become a collective loving humanity.

The "I Ching" and DNA connection is a pathway that leads through our DNA codes into the heart of who we really are and connects us to the planet and star system to which were were born.  There are 3 levels of sequences of interpretation that act as a Grail quest to find your true purpose.  Peter works to unravel the sequences to identify your higher self and live the life you are meant to live.

It sounds very complicated to me, and since I'm all about the simple way of life I think I'll pass on this process, but I will take a deeper look into this "I Ching"/DNA connection. There must be more to this than I'm seeing at the moment.  I think the real reason I was guided to this interview was the conversation about healing others by healing myself and the "aha" moment about Paris.

OR - it could've been an angelic message.  According to Joanne, expert and blogger on angel numbers, 64 is a message about staying optimistic and positive about my financial issues.  I was starting to worry that January would be a bit financially tight, but according to this message, I must stay away from the negative energies of stress and worry so not to tip my abundance scales the wrong way.

It could've been as simple as that.

 

Jarrad Hewett, an All Around Nice Guy

I've been listening to Jarrad Hewett's transformational music.  And I like it.

Once a week for 52 weeks he delivers via email a tune infused with frequency energy designed to change your vibration.  I'm on week 24.  When I listen to each download I find myself having to let go of whatever I'm doing at the time and just bliss out for a minute or two.  There's no multitasking when working with Jarrad.

I'm also enjoying his "November to Remember" package, which I bought through You Wealth Revolution.com.  With his crazy symbol pdf's and audio meditations I've been blissing out a lot lately.

I was a little apprehensive when it came to his symbols.  The pdf downloads look like doodling, some of which I've been doodling as well for years on bits of paper here and there, with a few numbers and shapes that on their own mean nothing.  But when I opened the first symbol and took it in it was like listening to Jarrad's music.  I had to stop everything I was doing, relax and take it in.  I was hooked right away.

In fact, the energy of his symbols is so strong I can feel it show up in my computer, which is what happened today.  I was going through my emails, reading those I was interested in, deleting those I could live without, while listening to an interview between Darius Barazandeh and Maiyah Olivas (another energy worker I enjoy working with) when I felt a little rush of bliss energy flow through me.  I thought it was from Maiyah, as the interviewees like to tease listeners with their energy signatures as they sell their packages.  A few minutes later I re-checked my email inbox and found a letter from Jarrad's people that included my personal symbol and energy activation channeled by Jarrad - part of his package.  I checked the time it was sent to me and it was the exact time I felt the rush!

Call me impressed.

Personally, I find Jarrad a jabberwocky, a very energized person who talks a mile a minute, changing the subject of his conversation over and over yet being able to hold onto the thought that triggered the chain of new thought.  He reminds me of my mother in that way, except she loses the original subject of every conversation when she mentally wanders off.  Though I admire Jarrad's ability to be focused while appearing to be unfocused, I think if I had to spend any amount of time with him I'd become confused to the point of irritation because, unlike Jarrad and like my mother, I can't hold on to a thought that long.

That's the good thing about listening to his recordings - I can go back and listen again to fully take in  his discourses and receive his energy transmissions.

He also channels a light language.  Jarrad calls it a combination of ancient and otherworldly languages, but to me it sounds like organized gibberish.  He is able to translate his light language into English as well as the meaning of his symbols, so he at least knows what he's doing and saying.  That's good enough for me.  It's the energy behind the words, sounds, and symbols that matter.

All I know is Jarrad's intent is full of love and healing energies that I can feel, even when I'm not trying.  He's a good guy to have around. 

Numerical Frequency Codes are Everywhere

An interesting thing happened on me on my way to Trader Joe's.

It was a sunny, warm day and traffic was thick.  My travel was slow and a little frustrating.  Every traffic light seemed to be red, every office employee seemed to be driving to lunch, every delivery truck in the area seemed to be blocking the streets, but I powered on because I was hungry.

I decided to do what I do in a normal rush hour backup - sit back and check out the area I'm stuck in.  While sitting at a red light on Duke Street, a main thoroughfare into a crowded downtown area,  I sat back, took my hands off the wheel and looked to my left.  My eyes went directly to the row house across the street and stayed there, because of the address.  The giant, and I mean giant, shiny red numbers read 1111.  Wow, I thought, someone wants the mailman to find their house.

Slowly, but surely, I was able to get through the intersection when the light turned green.  Two blocks and ten minutes later I turned left into another traffic standstill.  After heaving an impatient sigh I ended up doing what I did ten minutes earlier - I sat back and looked around.  Again, my eyes stopped at the townhouse directly to my left.  There were three numbers in black, not as big and not as shiny as the previous house but just as impressive - 777.

Interesting, I thought, and wondered a little about the synchronicity, then when traffic started moving I drove around a double parked delivery truck and got stuck in my third backup.  As I sat there I looked again to my left to look for more address number fun, but my line of vision was blocked by an armored truck.  My attention was drawn to the logo on the side - a shield with angel wings on each side.

Okay, I think I'm getting it.  There's a message in all of this.

The truth is, lately I have been noticing the appearance of numerical frequency codes more often in my daily life. 

Archangel Michael has been passing them on through Kelly Hampton.  000888 helps you connect with God, Source, Infinite mind.  1111111 connects the Earth to the Great Central Sun when drawn in the dirt. 

I've heard that the crop circles we've been finding all over the globe are high frequency symbols designed to heal the planet, not unlike Archangel Michael's codes.

According to her medical records, my dog was born 11/11.  She'll be three this year.

Jarrad Hewett, a personal energy frequency expert,  uses numbers in his symbols.  55.1 is self love, 555 is love of others.  

I just learned one from Jaden Rose Phoenix.  5555 is a consciousness download code that helps move you into your 5D self, which is really the reason for the frequency code downloads. She calls it "A New 5D You."  The main areas that can shift with this one are the emotional and mental blocks that hold us back from being who we really are.  She channeled it purposely for a package she sold through Darius Barazandeh's New Wealth Revolution.  Jaden is a master alchemist who focuses her gift on helping people let go of their old selves to embrace their true life purpose.

Numeric codes hold vibratory frequencies.  When we tap into these frequencies we can tap into the power of the Universe.

I wonder if this is why we are supposed to think of angels when we see sequences like 11:11, 777,  or 3:33.  The codes help us raise our frequencies to match those of the angelic realm, which is universal love energy, an energy that can change our 3D world. 

Kari Samuels, an numerology expert and archangel channel, says that 11 is a sacred geometry number - when you look at the number you can see that it's two lines like antennas that stretch from heaven to

earth.  11 is the number of the light worker.  In numerology the words light, psychic, and Jesus adds up to 11.

When you see the numbers 11,11 you need to pay attention to what you're thinking.  It's a message that your angels and guides are communicating with you directly - receive what they're giving you. The 11's are like a gateway that opens you up to your soul's evolution.  You are receiving light and you need to step up your game to work with that energy.

I guess I need to pay more attention.  These numbers have been showing up for me a lot lately.  My guides are helping me raise my frequency, even when I'm not paying attention.

The super moons that we are experiencing in 2015 are giving us a numeric code of 11,11 a code that guides us to where we are going next.  On November 11, 11/11, there was a new moon opening a gateway to new beginnings, and the next new moons into 2016 have corresponding 11's, either in times or dates, that portend powerful changes.  We need to let the stuff that doesn't serve us step away and allow what does serve us show up.  Raising our frequencies will make it easier to embrace the changes.  It will lift us up above the negative vibrations all around us and make it possible to connect with the 5D vibratory way of life.

According to DNAalchemy.com our DNA is being activated in some way when we see a repetition of numbers.  The numbers usually signal changes in the patterns of our lives.

33 represents Christ consciousness, master healer and teacher, global responsibility.

777 is seen as the number that holds the universe together and is a higher octave of 3.  It makes 33 more powerful.

11:11 is a number activation sequence.  It acts like a portal into higher realms of manifestation.

DNA Alchemy insists that once you see your numeric codes, you have activated something in your DNA codes and they will continue to appear until you get the message it's time to move on growth wise.  I must be a bit hard headed because these codes have been showing up practically every day for me, especially 11:11 - so much, actually, I've wondered if subconsciously I've been looking at the clock at the same time every day on purpose.

My subconsciousness has been telling me that it's time for me to step up.  My angels seem to concur.

My Very Interesting Dream

The other night I had a dream that was so interesting and insightful, I just had to write about it.

There was a group of settlers that had traveled for months across land and sea, looking for a new home to live free and practice their beliefs without condemnation.  Men and women determined to create a perfect society for their children fought off disaster and death for their goal. 

Sound familiar so far? Now the dream twist:

They found their perfect place to settle, but by the time they got there the group had split up into two factions, and since they couldn't agree on how to live together they decided to create two colonies.  One faction, the one that I was a part of, thank goodness, was peaceful and creative and attracted the most talented and hard working people.  The other faction was left with opinionated, pessimistic, fearful narcissists who believed their way was the only way to live. 

My faction created a clean, happy community, full of bright and cheerful optimists.  Our talented carpenters found the best wood to work with to build nice, bright, and sturdy homes.  Our farmers knew how to pick the best natural resources to create the best crops, and our chefs learned how to create the perfect nutritious meals from the bounty of our crops.  Our leaders knew how to negotiate peacefully with our neighbors, the natives of the land.  Our traders were more than willing to trade quality goods for quality goods.  We lived joyfully and creatively and never stopped helping each other live our best lives.

The other faction chose to live in anger and violence.  Instead of creating a sturdy and efficient society, they blamed each other for their problems, grew lazy about growing crops, built haphazardly and cheaply, never preparing for bad weather or lean times.  Their women were afraid of their husbands and did what they were told, their children grew to be mean and hateful, the most sensitive of them were bullied by their community.  They continued to wage war against their neighbors and cultivated an environment of jealousy and greed.  Their people grew sickly, they went hungry and couldn't trust each other to get help from their own community leaders.  Even during the most sunny days their homes were dark and damp and full of dis-ease.

One day, after a season of cultivating jealousy and hatred toward our sunny little town, the strongest and angriest of the other faction decided they had had enough.  They decided to wage war on us and take our town, crops, and trade from us.  On a dark and muddy day they marched into our streets and called out our leaders.  They demanded we embark into battle over what we had created.

After a short discussion among themselves, our community leaders said no.  We will not fight for our town.  We will trade - everybody in my town will pack up and leave.  We will move into the other faction's town and they could have ours, no questions asked, no strings attached.  This took the other faction by surprise, but they agreed to the conditions, believing it an easy victory.  They weren't completely happy - they were stuck with unresolved anger and unspent negative energies - but they decided to deal with that later and move in. 

So we packed up and left.  We left our crops, our art, and our beautiful homes behind.  When we got to the other faction's town we realized we had not anticipated what we ended up with.  Not only did we have to start from scratch, we had to undo everything they did, fix the land, heal the wounds created with our native neighbors, get rid of the disease and pestilence that the other faction had attracted and then start from scratch.  We could've just moved on and found a land already healed to build upon, but we decided to take responsibility for our people's actions and bring light back to the  ruins created by the dark faction.  We knew that we still had the best carpenters, the finest artisans, the most talented farmers and chefs and though we would have to work harder than we ever had before, we could achieve what we had created once before again.  So we went to work.

As the dream wound to an end, the hardship started to wear us down.  Drama was ensuing, people were fighting hard to stay positive, hope was becoming hard to hold on to.   We knew the other faction had taken their warring ways with them and were burning the bridges we had built with the native population.  They continued to over-harvest the land and kill off the animals that had kept us fed.  Worry started to seep into our consciousness about the possibility of war with the other faction when they tired of ruining our original town.

All we could do was live for the day and according to our beliefs and will.  We hung on to our optimism and light and powered on.

Our adopted town grew healthier and lighter every day.  We felt it was worth every challenge put forth to us.  We were not ready to give up.

Then I woke up.  I told you it was an interesting dream.

Picnic With Niky Rey

I woke up the other morning sore all over.  Every muscle and joint ached as if I'd spent the day before digging ditches and carrying concrete around, but I hadn't.  All I did was be present during an energy clearing for my body the night before during a teleconference led by Niky Rey called, "Liquid Self Love for the Body."  It was the second of four weekly classes that were part of a "Love Code" package that Niky sold during Eram Saeed's  global teleconference, "From Heartache to Joy."

I took it as proof that Niky was good at her job.

There's not a lot yet on the internet about Niky Rey; she professes to be working on her blocks about being seen and is working on a website.  Most of what I learned about her I picked up on during her interview with Eram Saeed and our healing teleconference calls from her home country, Greece, each having lasted three hours or more.

Niky is vibrant, enthusiastic, encouraging and full of love - typical qualities of a Greek goddess.  She was a journalist, is in the process of writing a book, and is known for creating the quantum healing modality she calls her P.I.C.N.I.C. codes of light.

Prana Infinite Consciousness Neutralizes Infinite Creation.
Prana Infinite Creation Neutralizes Infinite Consciousness.

Niky believes that the best way to make positive changes in our lives is to neutralize the power our emotions have over us.  We have to bring the volume of our pain to zero and start from scratch, hence her P.I.C.N.I.C mantra.

After years of struggle and emotional pain, Niky Rey healed her life embracing the potential of the quantum field and utilizes the power of vibrational neutrality.  The P.I.C.N.I.C code allows deep and profound transformation in a subtle, yet powerful way.  Niky activates the codes to work with your energy and get it flowing through you to the vibrational realm to be released and transmuted into pure love.

"We're changing things in the higher realm, which leads to changes in the physical realm,"  she said during our first clearing call, "allowing energy to flow through us to facilitate amazing transformations.  The invisible always rules the visible." 

She works with her guides to help you open to receiving the cleansing energy of source as you connect to self-love, the supporting energy of Gaia, and the heart of source.  Niky wants you to feel safe in order to open yourself up to receive and step into your personal power.  She calls it safe love.  When you love yourself you become open to receiving the best for yourself - freedom, abundance, fun, a healthy body - whatever you want to create.

The name of the P.I.C.N.I. C. game is to release.  Different from suppressing or getting rid of your story, it's about releasing the energy associated with the story that holds a power over you and blocks your emotional, spiritual and physical growth and healing.  You end the the power of the story over your life.

"Whatever you're avoiding is ruling you.  It's taken over and actually directing your flow.  You should be directing and owning everything in your field and as a result everything in your life," She said.

Then, like a tuning fork sending waves of sound through the air, you create a ripple effect that broadcasts a healing, loving energy out into the world.

"It's all about living a meaningful and fun life."

 Niky exudes fun when she lectures during her calls and hopes to activate our own powerful healing process.  In turn our energy will activate others into healing. We end up changing the world just by focusing on ourselves.

I focused on my body's healing love frequencies and I've strengthened it - this is what my soreness is telling me.  A big glass of water and some stretching took care of the aches; just a little more needed attention for my beautiful bod.  Listening to the replay of the session will strengthen the clearing, but I'll need to put aside a couple of hours to do it.  That's not easy for little busy me to do, but I will.

Then I have to get ready for the next clearing session: Love Elixer For The Team, the beautiful beings of light that follow us through our journey and give us support.  It's an opportunity, says Niky, to take care of that part of us in the ethereal realm that is actually taking care of us in the physical realm.

I can't wait to show the love.

Hmm, Terek Bibi

Winter seems to be the season for spiritual growth and I was ready to go for it, but I felt I had outgrown last year's teachers.  I wanted to find some new energy talent.  This winter I signed up to be included in Eram Saeed's Global teleconference, "From Heartache to Joy," because she promised to introduce us to some.  I found more than I had intended.  I had hoped to spend some cold winter days snuggled up with my computer and finishing up my book, but instead ended up with my computer listening to Eram interview different healers describe their modalities, trying out their free clearing processes and purchasing their packages.

One of Eram's interviews was with Tarek Bibi.  I found him very interesting.

During his interview Tarek talked about his life, his spiritual growth, and his belief in his healing process.  He had grown so emotional about wanting to leave a legacy of love and joy in the wake of his life I was compelled to purchase his package.  He calls his process the "Infinity Healing Technique."

Tarek Bibi considers himself an "evolver."  He helps people evolve.  In the first audio module in the program he says, "The beautiful thing about evolving is that we keep evolving.  There's always more.  We can expand - there's infinite potential.  We can never reach the point where we say, 'I've reached my peak and now I'm done.'  There's always more."

Which is why I keep signing up for these teleconferences.  I am hooked on evolving.

Because of an abusive childhood, Tarek found himself drawn to several spiritual energy healing modalities. While he sought to heal himself, forgive his father, and connect to unconditional love, Tarek not only learned how to himself he learned how to heal others, eventually creating a modality that worked with source energy by getting permission to change things at all levels.

Terek works with his clients to connect to source, balance the left and right brain, divine masculine and feminine, mind, body and soul.  Then he does a full system body/chakra scan to feel where his clients are holding on to dense energies.  Together they transmute the dense energies and replace them with a loving frequency that promotes change for the better.  The process involves clearing deeply embedded issues and blocks layer by layer until the client evolves into the loving, abundant, higher purpose miracle attractor he/she always dreamed of being.  All the client has to do is say, "yes," to Tarek's invitations to change.

"Will you invite support and healing from higher source?"

"Yes."

Really, who would say, "no," to love and support?  But giving verbal consent is important to get energies moving in the right direction, otherwise nothing will change.

As I listen to his audios I can feel enthusiasm and joy for what he does for people.  When you look at his profile picture you see a well-dressed businessman, but when you listen to his voice you hear a happy boy, giggle and all, making him sound years too young to have the experience he's accrued to be the healer he is today.

Tarek Bibi believes that we all are destined for great things, and wants to help us achieve that greatness.  I believe he can do it.

It'll take six months for me to finish his program of energy charged audios, but I can already feel things getting stirred up.  I wonder where I'll be in six months.  I guess we will soon see.

To learn more, visit his site, Tarekbibi.com.  You can even try an MP3 audio designed to clear your blocks about manifesting abundance for free and hear his boyish exuberance for yourself.

Hooray For Hot Springs!

I met my cousin in Hot Springs, Arkansas and had a bit of dirty fun.

We spent 2 days digging through red clay to find quartz crystals with our name on them.

Pay dirt!

We had a blast.

It was an interesting trip.  We came separately - K left her husband in California, I left my dog in Virginia - and we met by accident in the middle of the airport in Little Rock.  I was thinking about K as I walked up the ramp from my plane, worried that I didn't have her cell phone number and I hoped that we'd meet up at the rental car counter within the hour.  I was walking briskly toward baggage claim watching the floor so that I'd not run over people's feet with my carry-on-with-wheels, when I looked up to see a familiar woman walking in the same direction from another gate.  We locked gazes at the same time, both equally surprised to see each other. 

And this was the beginning of a vacation that was meant to be.

Our flights to and from Little Rock went perfectly.  We had serendipitous meetings with total strangers.  We had lucky numbers reappear, specifically 13 and 777.  We had perfect weather that matched our wish list.  We never had a bad meal - even the eggs we bought to make breakfast every morning were the best I ever had.  We got along famously, never one argument about anything.  We had a great water view from our balcony and spent every morning and evening looking over the lake.  I was able to take advantage of a friend's time share and K took advantage of a family discount on the car rental.  We even had a brand new car - I was pulling plastic off of the seats and the back of the car, and it had that new car smell we all love.

The first two days in Hot Springs were hot and humid, typical Arkansas summer weather, so we sucked up the heat and explored the Hot Springs area.  First we took a tour through Garven Woodlands Garden, a beautifully kept woodland garden in the Ouachitas mountains. Even though we had to climb up and down the trails, the trees gave us some welcomed shade and a connection with nature.  After a long but relaxing walk we drove back to Hot Springs to explore the Bathhouse district, did a little shopping in the air conditioned stores and headed back to our rented condo on Lake Hamilton before treating ourselves to a great dinner in a local restaurant.


I can't remember what we did the second day, probably more driving around and shopping - oh, wait - we had lunch on the Belle Riverboat as we toured Hamilton Lake, a beautiful man made lake bordered by million dollar homes.  It was beautiful.  Then we went downtown for some shopping. There are a lot of local artists in the area!

The third day the weather became more friendly, less humid and cool, so we set out to Coleman's Crystal Mines where, for a measly 10 bucks a piece, we could spend the day digging around the cast-off piles of dirt and take home anything we could find.  And we found!  We kept digging and finding and filling the trunk of our rented car with red clumps of clay until we could take no more, then headed out for food.  We hadn't eaten or had anything to drink for hours.  We went to the first fast food place we saw, a Sonic, and had a meal fit for queens.  It could've been our hunger, but that was the best fast food burger I'd had in years!

K and I spent the rest of the afternoon outside our condo soaking and cleaning off our finds.  We felt like we had found a long lost treasure and were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of our bounty once we'd cleared off the red mud.  

We were so successful we did it again the next day, though that time we quit an hour early and headed  straight for our first Bathhouse experience at the Buckstaff Bathhouse - no appointment necessary!  Little did we know how well our attendants would get to know our naked bodies during our 3 hour bath and massage package.  Lots of steam, lots of water, lots of massage oil.  We closed the place down and went to dinner.

Hot Springs is famous for the thermal spring waters that rise to the surface from the depths of the earth at almost one million gallons a day.  After we pushed the native American population aside a couple of hundred years ago, people from all over the world have been visiting the giant and beautiful bathhouses since the 1800's, creating a healing center for any who could make the trip.  The history of this town is rich, and because the buildings are mainly marble and ceramic tiles, they are still standing!  The water is so hot, we have to cool it down enough to bathe in and its soothing mineral water is so pure we can drink it straight from the ground.  I drank a ton of it and did not die! Downtown Hot Springs is full of fountains, big and small, where you can fill your own bottles with water and take home for free, but you have to be careful you don't burn yourself.  There is no shortage of water or steam in this town!  For K this was a welcome relief from the drought conditions back home in Northern California.

The next day we skipped the digging, spent the morning cleaning out the trunk of our car and getting as much mud off of our crystals as we could before heading out to the post office to send the rocks home; neither of us wanted to carry the stuff home in our suitcases.  Rocks are heavy!  Lunch, shopping, dinner, condo on the lake.  A good restful day.

Our last day in Hot Springs involved a scheduled bathhouse/massage extravaganza at the Arlington Hotel.  We closed that place down, ate a late lunch, spent some time getting sound therapy at a shop to which we were recommended, shopped some more and headed home to pack. I had a clear vision during the sound therapy, which involved being surrounded by sound frequencies that promote healing, of Hot Springs turning into another Sedona, a town filled with energy healers and creative people.  Encircled by mineral springs, crystal laden mountains and natural beauty, it's a perfect place for some healing.

It was also a perfect girls only vacation, though K loved it so much she's bringing her husband back with her next year.  I'm going to recommend some cave tours that we missed this time around that look really interesting.  We were pretty close to visiting Hot Springs during the perfect time of year, but I think a week or two into October would be even better.  The weather would be cooler; better for diving deep into hot steamy things, and the plethora of trees would be turning into their autumn glory.

Our crystals are our gifts straight from the earth, untouched by any except our own hands.  Thank-you mother earth for your healing waters, your healing crystals, and the lovely, friendly people of Hot Springs.  It's was a dirty and clean and fun vacation - the most fun I've had in a long time!
