This was triggered by reading the Impulse Buy post, which I didn't want to hijack, so here I am with two of my own with some questions.
Firstly, I have a small wand of Tiger's Eye; just shy of three inches long, a wide rounded hexagon shape at the top moving down to a rounded point. Now, generally, I have no affinity with Tiger's Eye, however on the day I came across this piece I was browsing around a crystal shop and had one of my 'funny feelings'. I felt the wand before I saw it. There was a surge of warmth at the level where it was on display, and though being at its strongest at that point, the warmth spread throughout my entire body, tingling, making me tremble and see sparks. Being caught by surprise (not used to things like that) and rather enjoying it, it took a few seconds for me to turn and see the source. When I saw it, I was struck by its beauty and bought it without a second thought. Now I don't have such intense feelings, but it fits in my right hand perfectly, any way I hold it being 'the right way' and every so often I get a tingle in my spine when holding it.
First question; what are these reactions about?
Next, where can I find information about working with crystals?
My second impulse buy (actually two pieces, but they belong together) were some Selenite eggs(?). There was no strong reaction this time, but I knew that I had to get two and which ones out of a large number they were to be, despite never hearing of the crystal Selenite until I was at the checkout. Usually I sleep with them under my pillow. They fit snugly into my palms and when doing Reiki I have experimented with them in each hand; breathing Reiki into them and feeling them grow morse dense, repel and attract in my hands. I have also balanced one on top of the other in one hand and sent in Reiki to push off the upper stone. Whilst I enjoy this, I imagine there is a more practical way to work with them and the same two questions apply.
I have always been happy to follow my instincts, but in this matter I lack the experience and through other issues the clarity to know which way to move next. Any insights would be warmly appreciated.
