Melody's Workshop #1

October 23, day one of the 1st level of Melody's Crystal Workshop.

It started out with me being LATE, I hate being LATE. It is what I get for catching the Seabus and using transit, I missed my seabus and had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. I should have known better!

The workshop was full, with lots of interest. Melody stressed that as practitioners we are facilitators, not counsellors. I understand what she is saying, but I do not know if I FULLY agree. There are times in normal HUMAN RELATIONS that we all support each other in ways that could be defined as counselling each other. I do understand in a PROFESSIONAL manner we are NOT COUNSELLORS, which I think is what Melody is referring to.

The morning I found myself wondering if this workshop was what I was wanting or needing. I have this aversion to science mixing with spirituality. I SEE IT as an attempt to justify or legitimize the SPIRIT. The other focus was on the Chakras, with little attention on the AURA. This is common in most spiritual practices, I just wish there was more focus on the AURA. At the lunch break I had decided to stay for the 2 days of Level one, but not sure of returning for Level two.

I did find Melody's words on Elixirs as beneficial and wise.

During Lunch;

I talked to Melody for a short time and mentioned the issue of the Mineral's SPIRIT, and if she had worked with the spirits. She replied that she had worked with a couple of the mineral's spirit but not much. After I told her of my experiences she suggested that I should write a book about the Mineral Spirits as it is needed. I enjoyed the few words with Melody, but she was busy and I did not want to take any more of her time.

I met a few other participants and had some good discussions.

After Lunch;

After lunch Melody broke us up into pairs and she had us paired with strangers, as she pointed out that we will not know our CLIENTS and as such we need to experience working with strangers. I think this is also why Melody emphasises being facilitators and not counsellors. This was good, plus myself not knowing anyone present it was no real problem.

We did an array that works on eliminating LIMITING BELIEFS from our deeper self. Without my crystals I felt a little short on being able to do the array. CRYSTALWORKS helped by having some small crystals that we could us. It was a great experience and Melody explained that when we are short on the number of Crystals that the array needs to be just as big as in the book. One can have less Crystals in the array, but not to shrink the actual array size.

HOMEWORK;

I have to sleep tonight with a Faben Crystal tapped to my spine. This should be interesting, thank goodness I have a small and flat Faben Crystal to us.

CONCLUSION;

At the end of the day I was feeling much better about the workshop and I will be attending both Levels.

I find that the workshop is mostly on the different arrays that are in her book "Laying-on-of-Stones" and I am really looking forward to working with these different arrays.

PS:
There was also considerable discussion on negative energy and changing the negativity. I need to state my BELIEF that ENERGY IS JUST ENERGY WITHOUT ANY NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE CHARGE TO IT. When we use ENERGY it is our INTENTION that charges the ENERGY with a NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE CHARGE. When we remove the INTENTION attached to the ENERGY we remove the charge and the ENERGY returns to CLEAN ENERGY.
