Blue Jade –
A stone of peace and serenity, Blue Jade calms and restores. It is widely used to temper emotional upheaval and to restore equilibrium. Blue Jade is an amulet of good luck and friendship. It is a stone of wisdom, loved by sound healers who utilize drums, bells, rattles, or voice healing. For those struggling with Reiki or other touch therapies, Blue Jade can provide a breakthrough in understanding. It is particularly powerful for calming angry situations and resolving disputes, such as family dynamics where members feel they are not being heard, or in personal litigation where the opposing party is not being entirely truthful. Jade, kept in a pocket or on a pendant, recharges energy and guards against illness. It is excellent for healing feelings of guilt and for extreme cases of defeatism. It also treats “pathological normality,” an excessive desire to adapt oneself to a group, even if it is sect-like, exaggerated militarism, a follow-the-leader attitude, or the compulsive desire to give in to general opinion to belong, no matter the cost. Blue Jade is beneficial in soothing inflammations and reducing swelling, treating arthritis, asthma, and bronchial conditions. It is helpful to the bones and joints, especially the hips. Jade is a powerful cleansing stone, enhancing the body’s filtration and elimination organs. It is excellent for treating the kidneys, spleen, and supra-adrenal glands, removing toxins and balancing the fluids and water-salt/acid-alkaline ratios in the body. Blue Jade encourages patience, helping those who feel overwhelmed by situations beyond their control to maintain an even temper. It enhances mental abilities from both sides of the brain, increasing one’s capacity for rational thought and the ability to discern the best path to follow. It is a stone of slow but steady progress, allowing one to see the world from a higher vantage point to avoid losing oneself in the petty dramas of life. Jade relinquishes self-imposed limitations and assists in cherishing one’s ideals and desires, facilitating ambition and building those thoughts into physical reality. It provides confidence and self-assuredness, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency. Blue Jade clears and stimulates the Throat Chakra, allowing for the healing energies of sound and self-expression. The Throat Chakra is the voice of the body, a pressure valve that allows the energy from the other chakras to be expressed. If it is blocked or out of balance, it can affect the health of the other chakras. In balance, it allows for the expression of what we think and what we feel. We can communicate our ideas, beliefs, and emotions. When the throat chakra is in balance and open, we can bring our personal truth into the world. We have an easy flow of energy within the body and spirit. The energy that springs upward from the lower chakras can continue its path, enabling free expression and natural release.
Chrysocolla –
Chrysocolla supports honesty, acceptance, and heartfelt communication. It embodies loving Goddess energy, which inspires verbal expression. It will empower both men and women to communicate in a clear, loving way. Chrysocolla opens the throat chakra and energizes the words you speak, inspiring the right words to speak to aid emotional healing in others. This stone will ease congested lungs and increase your breathing capacity. This is particularly good for people who have COPD, bronchitis, and asthma. Chrysocolla gently assists in balancing and healing stomach ulcers, stomach aches, and other digestive tract issues. It activates and heals your gallbladder by reducing the effects of nausea, pain, and other symptoms related to the problem. This stone detoxifies and fortifies your liver functions, including bloating, pain, fatty buildup, and jaundice. Chrysocolla lowers fever and blood pressure and strengthens your immune system. It has been known to reduce the pain and stiffness of carpal tunnel syndrome and accelerate the natural healing of burns. It assists in the release of stress, anxiety, and other fear-based imbalances in the body. It can support the regulation of the thyroid and adrenals. It is excellent for sore throats, laryngitis, and for the support of the larynx in general. Chrysocolla can be used to support you when healing from cancer. Chrysocolla absorbs pain and fever; it balances the thyroid gland and blood sugar levels.
Mystic Merlinite –
Mystic Merlinite is a stone of prophecy, enlightenment, and awakening. It calms internal or external conflict by bringing balance and understanding with self-realization. This stone penetrates the veil between all worlds and connects to elemental energies. As a remover of veils, Mystic Merlinite can facilitate communication with deceased loved ones, showing that death itself is an illusion, as we are eternally connected. This revelation eases the pain of separation. Mystic Merlinite can tear down a wall that exists between the invisible and visible worlds. In this way, this stone opens the gates to deep, intuitive abilities and skills. This stone can remove heavy and negative energies in and around you. Mystic Merlinite brings richness and a sense of fulfillment to all areas of your life. With this stone, you will be able to create a peaceful environment. Mystic Merlinite encourages you to be grateful for all the little things in life and to cherish every day; doing so will attract an abundance of positive energy.
Animal Essence Wild Horse –

Crop Circle –
Berlepsch-Ellerode, Hessen, Germany, June 27, 2010
When you’re passionate about something, it becomes infectious. Just like sharing an exciting story with your friends, if you’re excited about your message, your audience will feel your enthusiasm. You’ll share a connection, almost as if you were sitting side by side.
1. Be authentic
Building a connection with an audience will require authenticity. People don’t like being sold or told what to do. Your voice should be genuine, as if you’re having a conversation with a friend. There should be an ease and warmth to your voice. Someone out there is ready and excited to hear what you have to say, so say it in a way that feels heart-centered rather than like you have an agenda. Some of my favorite podcasts to learn from are Yogaland, Highest Self, Wabi Sabi, Earn Your Happy, and Free Cookies. See also The Power of Self-Inquiry for Uncovering the Real You
2. Listen to your audience
Always invite your listeners to connect with you. Share your email address or your social handles so your audience can ask you questions and share their own stories and feedback. Podcasting is about building a relationship with your community, and it can’t be one-sided. You get to decide what to do (or not do) with feedback, but your audience will appreciate feeling acknowledged when they have strong opinions about certain topics or a particular type of guest. Engaged listeners are the people who will tell their friends how thoughtful you were in responding to their comments. Create an info@ email address solely for listener inquiries.
3. Keep titles truthful
Don’t create an episode called “How to Make Donuts” and then start talking about how to make soup. People don’t like to be baited. It might initially help you attract listeners, but it doesn’t set the foundation for a lasting relationship. You want your audience to know what they are getting so they begin to build a connection with you. You don’t need to get fancy with your titles, but definitely put some thought into them.

4. Ask the experts
Part of what really helped me build an audience was connecting with authors and leaders on topics I wanted to cover. At first, you must build your own credibility—even if you have expertise on your topic of choice—and consulting experts is a great way to do it. It drives me crazy when I listen to podcasts and the host constantly interrupts the guest. People will tune in to your podcast because they’re interested in learning, so take a journey with them and learn something new.
Is your practice playlist getting stale? Good news: Yogi-musician Trevor Hall’s new album just dropped. Unroll your mat, cue up a sequence, and hath seed day she’d a seas abundantly tree own.

We’ve been fans of yogi-musician Trevor Hall since the beginning of career creating wise-beyond-his-years music inspired by and to inspire yoga practice. (He played at Yoga Journal LIVE! Colorado in 2008!) Released today, the latest offering from this young musician, who once told YJ he sees each song as form of worship, had us at Track 1. (Just listen.)
He explained that he would exit the room during the treatment and use a soft touch on my arm to indicate its completion.
