31Mar14 - Sugilite

Recently one of my friend recommended this beautiful crystal to me. 
She said after wearing them she felt energized and less lethargic, and able to accomplish
more in the day.

Sugilite range from purple to violet and blue, mostly opaque, rarely with translucency.
It is considered as one of the most important love stone, It represents spiritual love and wisdom - opening and aligning all the chakras to love with its beautiful purple rays 

Sugilite brings love and light to the darkest situation, protects you from trauma and shock, and aids forgiveness. You should wear it when you feel tired, stressful, seek forgiveness from the past. They can also help reduce body pain as they can adsorb biological waste energies.

Sugilite can also help clears toxic from environmental chemicals. We face many different
type of chemicals in our daily lives and Sugilite is able to help clear these toxic energies from our aura, so our bodies are able to find new ways to release those chemicals before they affect us. 

To cleanse and rejuvenate this hardworking crystal, you can rinse it in running water once a day. Use a mild soap to remove any dirt or body oil on the surface. Do not scrub them.
Pad dry with towel and let them dry completely.

Do not put them under the sun as they will adsorb the solar radiation and destroy the abilities of this crystal.

Sugilite might not be for everyone as it can be too intense. It is advisable to start wearing it for one or two hours a days, and slowly increasing the duration. Feels how it affect you mentally and physically, It might initiate the release of toxic so much that you will feel fatigue and tired. As it is a crystal of many powers, you need it find out how it works best for you, such as boosting your energies, healing your emotion or detoxifying your body.

Good health and good luck my readers!

27Mar14 - Ordering Crystals Online

I always have people asking and telling me their concerns when they order their crystals.
Beside the concern of authenticity ( which shouldn't be a issue with us!), the usual question
is whether they will like or be satisfied  what they have ordered, as each crystal varies in
shapes and color.

If you see it in another point of view, if you have a lot to choose from, would you have a
difficulty choosing the right one? Would choose one that is the prettiest but might not
have the greatest affinity with you?

I would think of ordering crystal online as a 'gift'. A piece of crystal personally chose for you
based on the affinity that brings it to you. The joy and excitement of receiving and un-boxing
will energized the crystal and makes it feels appreciated and loved.

Are you excited and looking forward for a gift that you bought for yourself today?
Visit our online store to find your best gift!

Good day and Best of luck!
  

13Mar14 - Positive Thinking

I have been reading these two books from the library lately, Positive Thinking and
Creative Visualization.
I saw a friend recommended Creative Visualization on Facebook and how it helped him changed his attitude towards living and became happier and more positive.

Creative Visualization explains how your thinking can affect the outer world, whether it is positive or negative. It teaches you how to have clear definitive goals and desires, and how to work towards them with the proper mindset and attitude. 

Positive Thinking is a pretty easy to understand book, with many charts and diagrams. It is pretty small book so you can always bring it along and read it when you need a boost of positive energy.

A change of attitude can change the entire situation, a crisis can be an opportunity, a failure can be a lesson.
By rephrasing your words and sentences, your mind will react totally different!

08Mar14 - Haze is back!

Looks like the haze is back again!
If you are looking for an app to check out the PSI reading, you can get it 
here http://hosaystudios.com/?app=hazesg

It is important to take extra care of our eyes, throat and respiratory system as the haze
will cost discomfort and itchiness.

Food such as honey and lemon can help sooth dry and sore throat, while chrysanthemum, white fungus, pear can nourish the lungs.

Do try to stay indoor and wear a mask if the haze gets really bad!

Take care!

    

11Feb14 - Pyrite

Iron Pyrite, or also known as Fool's Gold, for its resemblance of real gold.
Last time miners would thought that they have stroked gold but in fact it was just pyrite.

Since they look almost like real gold, they are a symbol of wealth and good luck.
Due to its crystal properties, they are found in cuboid (cube) form. They are usually mixed
with other crystals and sand particles so it is quite rare to find a perfect cube of pyrite

    Such a perfect piece of pyrite specimen would be very rare.

Pyrite might decompose into iron oxide and sulfate when exposed to air and water, especially in smaller pieces.

Pyrite has strong energy shield and it helps overcome inertia and the feeling of inadequacy.
It can also energize the area when you place it. ( like on your work desk)

    Pyrite Sun. Golden ray of light radiates from it.

Pyrite SunMineralogists now believe that they are pyrite crystals formed between layers of slate and coal that simply had no room to grow in the traditional cubes that one normally finds pyrite. Formed 350 million years ago deep in the coal mines of Illinois, USA, each is unique.

Pyrite can also be found in Lapis Lazuli.

08Feb14 - Hoya Flowers

I have this little hoya plant for years and it had bloomed only once few years ago.
I was surprised to find a bunch of flower buds just before Chinese New Year and was
extra careful taking care of it!

It finally bloomed few days ago and it was amazing! Hope I don't have to wait for another few years for it bloom again! :D

Great weekend!

07Feb14 - Kemuning Hitam (Black Gold wood)

Raya Kemuning Hitam or Black Gold wood, is a popular wood in Malaysia and Indonesia.

It is said to protect the hunters from wild animals and poisonous bites.
They also believe soaking it in water and drinking the water will cure illness.
They made it into kris, daggers, rings and Tashib (Muslim prayer beads)

     Black or dark brown color exterior and core.

I do not see this often here in Singapore. People in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand use it as a protection against black magic and curses.
