Good-day to you and Hello. Another month has flown by and we are creeping … or maybe roaring up to the Festive Season - Christmas and the New Year celebrations, a time for family and friends. What a good time of the year, but on the other side of the coin, it can also be very stressful, so don’t forget a little time out & TLC will help manage that stress situation. This is a time of year for fun & happiness, so take advantage of this holiday time with love and peace in your heart.
I have been out toiling in the sunshine the last couple of days; laying tiles to the front door entrance in anticipation of the visit our great friend – Kristina who is coming from Hungary on the 15th Nov. for approx. a month. So as you can imagine we have been scurrying around preparing the house for her visit and I must admit this little task has been on my list for a wee while and I just needed a little pushing :). But seriously it will be great to catch up with Kristina, mind you I suppose I will have too disappear when the ladies start catching up (chin-wagging), not too worry I’ll just go and catch up some more on the house :). Kristina is also sussing out whether she would like to move to NZ in not too distant future. At present she is working for Ricoh, Budapest as the Marketing guru and will be seeing what we have to offer in the job market here. Anybody who can help with any ideas or have / know a position along these lines please forward them to me, it will be appreciated. She has lived here in NZ before and is fluent in a couple of languages including obviously Hungarian and English. Its kind of funny people when they first meet her think she is English, kind of ironic a?, after all she is a Hungarian.
Well changing the subject a tad, we have a great month coming up – The Milford Rainbow Fair is this Sunday and yes moooorrreeeee SUNSHINE , no seriously, I will be unpacking some wonderful crystals that I have managed acquire from a wonderful private collection; heaps of balls, clusters of quartz and many great tourmaline specimens, amongst many other pieces as well. They will be on the shelves next week. Thinking I must admit that we have only a fraction on the website of our crystals, hopefully gradually over the next three months we will put more on. I will say if you have any crystals you want then please contact us.
We are also launched a new range of great Aromatherapy (Aromatic) Electric Oil Burners / Vaporizers – that can be used 24 hours a day, no water just the essence you want to use, and they 100% safe and very easy to use. We have also had a talk to Netherfield Lavender here in NZ, they product a truly high grade Lavender Oil, in my opinion one of the best in the world. Anyway back to what I was saying - they have given us 25 x 5ml bottles as free samples for the Electric Oil Burners / Vaporizers ………. So the first 25 sales of these great Vaporizers will get to experience this fantastic fragrant Lavender Oil. So be in quick the Vaporizers are also on a very special price via the website – these prices are hard to beat, and as a Special for November we will honour this price in the Shop.
Do you know its nearly a whole year since I left working for other people and went fully into our Centre ………. What a truly lifting experience!!! I was a bit
apprehensive at first, but as time has moved the dust has settled and I am finally getting to grips with the whole thing. Wow!!!!! It not a biggeee a? :) Well for me it has been a great journey, working hard and trusting in the universe. The healing and consultation work I am now doing is magical, all those years of hard training, healing thyself and generally running around wondering what the universe has for me …… well its here and if I can help anybody in a small way to improve their journey …. Then it is truly worth it. Just to see the smiling face when the light goes on and they understand and feel empowered is so magical. We are not here to always suffer, we often hold things in, we often put up a wall, hide those troubles away - remember the old saying a trouble shared is a trouble halved. Most of the old sayings have such a profound and depth meaning that we often take the wording for granted! We just have to stop and think --- be in the MOMENT.
Erika managed to get a set of discounted tickets that she offered to our e-mail group and all of them went to see Dr John Demartini talk on: Beyond the Secret. Even after a long day in the shop Erika went to listen to speaker talk continuous for 2½ hours virtually non stop. She said her interest for the full time was held by this amazing talk and she understood it all; it was all down to earth, everyday stuff. She commented that it was really enlightening and refreshing. The main theme was about Balance in our lives and giving ourselves permission to always give our best. Over time it has been proven that a human can overcome many adversities with the right thoughts, attitudes and perseverance. In many respects I think we are inevitably our own worst enemy where own achievement is concerned. You here nearly everyday of some person overcoming such tremendous odds in their life and when you here about it or see it, you are amazed and uplifted for or from that moment …….
But why does it inevitably drift away – well man over the centuries has tried to understand this; from all angles …….. but it always gets back to our own mind and our own balance in life. Why is it so hard sometimes, why do we repeat some things? We are here of our own choosing and our own soul is to blame so to speak. We pick our parents our life and we set up lessons to be learned so our soul can grow. So what to do about this little dilemma, well it can be simple or we can make it so complicated that we dismiss it and put it aside for another day….really it comes down to living in the moment and trying to be in balance with our own place of wellbeing. This is easy to say but you try and be their for a reasonable time period …It’s a challenge that’s for sure. We have a good advert on the TV here that simply puts forward the concept of passing a smile to your fellow human being and the smile will come back to you. Simple philosophy, can we do it and the answer is a resounding – YES – so the thought of the month or is it physical challenge is SMILE whenever you can and offer that smile to a stranger. The world and the universe is always rewarding when we look at it from a place of calm, balance peace, the moment and from a SMILE :). I will leave you with this thought and have a safe and enjoyable your month.

I will close now, and the team @ Amethyst Lake Healing Centre wish you and your families a safe month.
As we know at the end of the 20th century respiratory diseases such as allergy, asthma, bronchitis and other illnesses connected to respiratory problems have increased radically as a consequence of the huge amounts of irritating contamination, which attack our breathing system day by day. Since the negative effects of the air pollution seem to be completely inescapable, we should clean, and maintain the good condition of our respiratory tracts the same way as our skin or hair, etc.
we can beneficially influence: - Asthma, bronchitis - The symptoms of the Cold and the Flu - Infectious respiratory illnesses - Pollen, and other allergies attacking the respiratory system - And last but not least, the respiratory problems, caused by smoking
“Saltpipe” (The Portable Salt Cave) is an alternative medicine or natural therapy, with, which anyone can obtain all the advantages and benefits of the salt crystal cave therapy. For centuries cavern therapies in central Europe - in their unique way - have and are very successful at this, because during the inhaling of the tiny floating particles of salt crystal it cleans, and further more, soothes, relaxes, and regenerates the whole bronchial breathing system. However, these therapies are very expensive, time-consuming and immobile and now with the introduction of the Portable Salt Cave, an inexpensive solution is here.
Saltpipe contains ingredients sufficient for 5 years

Aromatherapy - Air Fresheners & Oil Burners:
Have you ever felt that you wish that there was an alternative to using commercial air freshener, which always seems to smell the same? The problem when using a commercial air freshener is the fact that your entire house seem to smell like a bathroom - which is far from desirable. Well, you can easily and cost effectively freshen the air in any room, and choose from a variety of fragrances available. The core of these air-fresheners are essential oils. Although proper and pure essential oils can cost a couple of dollars, you need very little and the rewards are great. Not only will your room be fragranced by pure natural oils extracted from botanical material, but you will also benefit from the therapeutic effects intrinsic to the oils.
Vaporising essential oils is one of the nicest ways to enjoy aromatherapy, and creates a soothing and relaxing atmosphere anywhere in your home! You don't need to be an expert at blending oils, - simply add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to a vaporizer and create your own restful sanctuary.
Vaporizers/oil burners are practical, effective, and convenient. These versatile tools are used in our homes, offices and professional practices as the most widely adopted method for diffusing the healing properties of aromatic essential oils.
With several styles and models to choose from, we are sure to have the perfect one suited for your tastes and preferences. You can choose from the more traditional style of candle diffusers, terracotta, ceramic or other material designs, or if you desire something with more of an elegant style you may decide to invest in the stunning gold decorated electric oil vaporizer.
A candle oil burner utilizes a tea light or other candle to gently heat the essential oil to promote diffusion into a room. A candle oil burner/diffuser is usually ceramic or metal. The diffuser has an opening or space for a candle and a little bowl or tray for storing a tiny quantity of essential oil, normally diluted in water.
Advantages: Candle diffusers can be inexpensive, depending on the style and design. Candle diffusers do not require electricity or batteries.
Disadvantages: One needs to be as careful with using a candle diffuser as with using candles in general. Also, one must be sure to keep replacement candles on hand. The aroma generally diffused by a candle diffuser is very light and it does not usually diffuse an entire room.
Electric Vaporizers
For those of you not wanting to burn tea lights to produce the radiant scents of pure essential oils, this aroma emitting device is a must have. Not only economical and practical, but this fabulous device has all the elements of modern design. It works by the slow warming of the plates where you apply your oil of choice, and from here the heat slowly releases the wonderful scents of therapeutic grade
essential oils creating a gentle and relaxing environment. Light weight, portable and completely silent! Can cover large area with delightful aromas.
Advantages: Electric oil vaporisers eliminates volatile naked flame & messy candle wax, avoid the use of hot, oily water, easy to clean and maintain after use and may fragrance larger areas. They can also help to more efficiently disperse the aromas of thicker oils such as Sandalwood and Patchouli.
Electric vaporisers provide a clean and more effective way of fragrancing your home or working space, and because there is no naked flame they can be safely left working all day and even at night whilst you sleep. This makes them irreplaceable where there are young children or the elderly.
We have a large colour range of Aromatic Oil Vaporizers. This decorative ceramic burner is an ideal addition to home, workplace, hospital or nursing home and can be a perfect Christmas present to someone you really care about.
Aromatic Electric Oil Vaporizers are available at Amethyst Lake

Achieving stability
Balance in life is essential. Dynamic and outward change needs to be counted by stability, focus and keeping centred. Most healing work is concerned with the removal of inappropriate energy it tends to initiate deep levels of energy adjustment throughout many subtle systems of the body. Any rearrangement of energy, no matter how beneficial eventually, can create turbulence in everyday life, bringing confusion, emotional instability and lack of focus. To avoid discomfort, healers take care to emphasise grounding and centring techniques to act as an anchor, stabilizing and balancing the changes that healing creates. Grounding ensures a firm contact with the energies of the planet so that excess energy can be conducted away from the body. It focuses on the present moment, practicality and connectedness to reality.
Being centred suggests that the focus of awareness is balanced within the whole body – rather than being just in the head. There is awareness of the world outside, yet there is no confusion or distraction. Being both centred and grounded is essential and is not possible one without the other.
The first or lower chakra at the base of the spine is concerned with centring and grounding. Techniques that direct energy and attention to this point and to point on the legs and feet are naturally grounding. Red, brown and black stones all help in directing and stabilizing energy in the body.
GROUNDING STONES: The placement of a grounding stone during and after q crystal healing session, or holding one in your hand, really helps to integrate the changes into the physical body. Without proper grounding any benefits may disappear as soon normal activity resumes. Grounding stones can be placed at any of the following locations:
1. At groin points on the front of the hips
2. At or near the base of the spine
3. Between the legs
4. By the insides of the knees
5. Between the feet
6. Below each foot
· Confusion and anxiety can be rapidly reduced by holding a grounding stone.
· Red stones can also help to achieve stability, and can be used with black stones for grounding.
Black tourmaline – alignment Extremely useful for protecting and grounding personal energy, tourmaline can be found in almost every colour and the same crystal will very often several different colours. When tourmaline is heated, it produces a positive electrical charge at one end and a negative charge at the other, making it a useful switching device in a lot of heat sensitive equipment.
Energy focus
As a grounding stone, black tourmaline can be used whenever energies are scattered and confused. It will quickly bring the awareness back to the present moment. Because of this, the stone gives a strong protection against negativity of all sorts. A negative influence is anything that superimposes itself and overrides the individual’s own energy field to create imbalance. A crystal that reinforces personal energy will help against these disruptive effects.
Next month we carry on the series and finish the Black Tourmaline and then delve into some more black crystals ….. like Obsidian & Hematite.
Learn to get in touch with the
silence within yourself and know that
everything in this life has a purpose.
"May the light of the Great Spirit shine within you,
and this eternal love be your life force”
