Where Science and Spirit Meet I have always loved rainbows.  The movie, Pollyanna, staring Haley Mills, featured a scene of a bedridden woman whose bedroom was filled with rainbows thanks to the crystals taken off her chandelier and strung across the windows.  Each day at the same time, the whole room was filled with rainbows, and the bedridden woman eventually found her way back to a happier, healthier place.  It turned out she was so emotionally upset that she'd become unable to function, but being bathed in the pure light from prisms gave her a clarity about living her life...

Light waves and Chakras Some years ago, I herniated a disc in my lower back.  I was given a prescription medication for pain, but the side effects were so severe I could not take it.  I ended up trying acupuncture, which made me feel  uncommunicative and very withdrawn (not my normal state).  While I didn't find the acupuncture especially helpful for my back- sorry, but I'm being honest here, my acupuncturist added something to my treatment that was most extraordinary.  In fact, it affected so greatly that I still remember it many years later in vivid detail.

JASPER FOR FALL   As fall peeks around the corner, nature gives it her all before the frost. Leaves of green become bright red, orange and yellow, and while the spring and summer flowers have begun to fade, fall colors come with the bountiful harvest.  In celebration of Mother Nature's brilliant show of force, I've put together a group of JASPERS for fall that specifically energize the first, second and third chakras.  These chakras are represented by red, orange and yellow and play to our sense of belonging to the earth, allowing pleasure into our lives and feeling confident and self directed in our...

Amazing Amber  With it's warm golden hue, amber is sensual, earthy and exciting.  Technically, it is not a stone, but began as tree resin more than 40 million years ago.  Oozing from the trees in ancient forests, it was transformed over a very long time into a natural plastic. (note: tree resin is not the same thing as tree sap.) Amber is amorphous, which means it has no crystalline structure and is preserved only under certain conditions where there is wet sediment and clay.  You might expect to find it at the bottom of a river delta or lagoon.
