    Crystal Prescriptions volume 7 The A-Z Guide to Creating Crystal Essences for Abundant Well-Being, Environmental Healing and Astral Magic.

    Over the years since Judy Hall began the Crystal Prescription series, the immense amount of information made available on so many aspects of healing, should be considered as a gift to mankind but also assures that the immense knowledge Hall has amassed during the course of her lifetime, is recorded and able to be used by many future generations.

    As with all of Judy Hall’s previous books on Crystals, this latest edition and volume 7 in the series Crystal Prescriptions, is a master class on yet another aspect in the uses for and of Crystals in healing and astral-medicine.

    A glowing Forward from David Eastoe of Petaltone Essences, who when first developing his business in the early ‘90’s, a business based on working with plant and flower essences to effect change, sought out Judy Hall to request she tested his latest samples to see if there was any potential use in his latest ‘discovery’.

    He needed input from someone who really knew what they were talking about in regard to the crystal aspect of his research and so a long-term relationship based on healing and vibration, that is still in place today, was born.

    Judy Hall introduced Eastoe to the fine and delicate art of working with Crystal Essences to nourish the soul, help heal the body, the psyche and also the environment. The use of Crystal Essences is time old, being used in healing and for assisting in astral-travel since time began.

    As the book unfolds, the fascination of understanding and working with Crystals is all encompassing, uncovering layer upon layer of fact, history, uses down through the ages, modern day uses and their immensely healing capabilities.

    Absolutely every aspect of working with, not just crystals, but the spiritual realm, when using crystals, is discussed in the first five parts of the book, beginning with what is a crystal essence, moving thought choosing crystals, creating your own essences suitable for chakra and auric use, astrology and astral-magic essences and much more.

    Part Six deals with the specific crystal essences and is set out in an easy to use A-Z dictionary, as well divided into smaller segments with the A-Z framework, such as Abundance, Personal Protection, Stress and PTSD, young person’s essence and more.

    An excellent Resources section is conveniently place at the end of the book, in case further information is required. As already said, a masterclass in discovering, mastering and creating healing, with the use of crystal essences for abundant well-being, environmental healing and astral-magic, is captured in the covers of this intriguing and fascinating book, making it the prefect vehicle for anyone wishing to delve further into the healing arts, based on the use of crystals.

     

  • Deep Space Blue

    Deep Space Blue

    Powerful, deep and majestic this latest release from award wining Australian composer Jim Ottaway takes you to places only ever imagined, places that are deep within and without, often without meaning, space or place, subliminal, like the tendrils of  dream felt but not always remembers.

    Space before the endless timelessness arrives, deep blue, the colour of the ocean at depths unseen; the soft but gentle song of the bird, sitting, reflecting, gently swaying with the endless motion that is the world turning ever so gently on its axis; each emotion, each feeling can be discovered, felt, experienced in the introductory track Austral Voices, a suburb introduction to what can be considered as a truly subliminal album.

    In Search of the Lost Star is almost incredibly difficult to put into words as it is a piece which needs to felt, to be heard, to appreciate the many carefully constructed levels. Think or consider simply floating, no time, space, place yet again, a gentle reverberation, the softly discordant melodies of the horn introduced to change the vibration; simply beautiful.

    39.5 Light Years (TRAPPIST – 1) shifts the focus in a mellow and delicate manner with the introduction of the human voice, but still with the overlay of the gentle, floating ambience created in the previous pieces. As it is 10:42 long it is a piece which could easily be singled out for a slightly different style of meditation as it tends to almost have a slightly discordant feel.

    The gentle tinkling of small bells or wind chimes reminiscent of Vangelis introduces Stars of Ice adding a haunting simplicity to entice, woo and to enjoy.

    The title track listed at number 5 is Deep Space Blue, entwining what the human ear considers is a journey trough the uncharted regions of space, mysterious, intriguing and infinitely powerful. Secrets hiding and hidden within the endless nature of the void, the intergalactic space

    The final piece Interplanetary Panspermia is based upon the theory that ‘meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids, and also by spacecraft in the form of unintended contamination by microorganisms” (1) which is a very profound manner in which to end this endlessly beautiful album.

    Perhaps Ottaway is, through the medium of music, attempting to get a message out there that all things may not be as they seem; that in our mindless rush to conquer space, we are destroying what we do not understand.

    Each of the five pieces on the album simply segues effortlessly, creating the impression that it is one long and very beautiful piece designed specifically for deep meditation; it would be the perfect vehicle to be used to encourage deep, healing meditation but should time not allow, simply having it floating in the background brings with it soothing and relaxing benefits.
