31Aug13 - Aventurine

The name aventurine derives from the Italian "a ventura" meaning "by chance". This is an allusion to the lucky discovery of aventurine glass or goldstone at some point in the 18th century.

You should never buy a lottery ticket without an aventurine in your left pocket!
Lady Luck will be in your left pocket. This is the stone of opportunity.
Aventurine is known as the stone of chance or luck. If you gamble or play the lotto, keep this stone in your left pocket.

    Keep one in your left pocket for good luck and opportunities!    

    Fill your wealth bowl with aventurine

Because of its connection to the heart chakra, green aventurine can help us become stronger on an emotional level. It is a ‘go-to’ stone for healing and suffering caused by heartbreak and separation.

Also promotes creativity, imagination and mental clarity.

24Aug13 - Angel Quartz

Angel quartz, or Angel Aura Quartz, is a clear crystal with iridescent rainbow colors.There are natural crystals that have been coated with gold fumes. It is created in a vacuum chamber from quartz crystals and gold vapor by a process known as vapor deposition. The quartz is heated to 871 °C (1600 °F) in a vacuum, and then gold vapor is added to the chamber. The gold atoms fuse to the crystal's surface, which gives the crystal an iridescent metallic sheen.Additional elements can be used to treat quartz, such as indium, titanium, and copper. 

Angel quartz is an uplifting spiritual stone that invites angel guidance, deep peace during meditation and purification.

   A marvelous Angel quartz, with highly reflective surface.

     One of our Angel quartz piece available!

Angel quartz also promotes joy, light & optimism.

Angel Aura is can be use for:

-Activating the throat chakra
-Finding your personal purpose
-Channelling higher knowledge
-Reaching deeper meditative states
-Opening awareness to the angel domain

11Aug13 - Chinese Ghost Festival Month

This year 7th month started last Wed, 7Aug and last till 7Sept.
There are some common taboos past down since time so its always safer to follow them.

   Six coin obsidian is a good protection charm against dangerious energy. 

1. Avoid swimming during the 7th month. It is believed that those previously drowned evil ghost might cause you to drown in the swimming pool. Such ghost need to find victims in order for them to be go for rebirth.

2. Children and young adults are also advised to return home early and not to wander around alone at night. This belief is due to the reason that the wandering ghosts can possess children easily.

3. Avoid moving into new homes and opening new businesses this month as it is considered inauspicious and bad luck on new ventures.

4. Avoid getting married during this month because couples will have bad ending. Some bad ghost may cast a bad spell on couples during their wedding.

5. Avoid going for jungle trekking and going on camping trips as chances of injuries, possession and death are high.

6. Drive very carefully during this month to avoid accidents, as there may be many wandering spirits who died of accidents previously that are searching for next victims so that they could be reincarnated.

7. Do not call a person's name in full. They believe that the spirits will know their names and try to call them in the mid of the night to take over their bodies.

  Wear an obsidian hulu bracelet to safeguard against bad spirits. 

8. Avoid starting any construction work or engaging in renovation repairs at home such as fixing a tile or banging the floor and wall for the entire month.

9. Avoid spitting and blowing your nose in the street or at any tree/plant.

10. Do not leave open wounds unattended as this will attract ghosts in following you home. Keep them plastered at all times.

11. Do not make negative comments or crack jokes about offering items in the streets or poke fun about Chinese opera seen with empty chairs of Chinese communities. Those chairs are for the ghosts.

12. Do not pick up anything including money found on the street and never bring it home.

13. Avoid getting emotional and crying in the middle of the night. A weak, sad and emotional mind gives ghosts the opportunity to possess you and harm you.

14. Do not whistle after the sun set. This will attract the attention of ghosts that may stick to you for a long time giving your a spate of long term bad luck.


In summary, don't stay out too late outside or wander around unfamiliar trails.
Keep respect for the religion even if you are not Buddhist,or a free thinker.
Even your yang energy high by excising and enjoy a bit of sun. 
Good protection crystals includes obsidian, citrine and jade.

Cheers
