My Personal "Gem" of a Story!
I just have to share my personal story with you. For years, I have heard people mentioned the gem/mineral/stone Moldavite. I knew it was expensive and hard to find and never thought I would own a piece but it peaked my interest. This past year, I have had several clients ask me to offer moldavite for purchase. I told them I would look, but never ran across any that was reasonable priced.
Last week, my friend, Kip's dad went to a huge international gem show and showed me some pieces he had purchased for resale. I asked him to tell me more about them.
He said that moldavite is very rare and usually very expensive. He knew a gentlemen that mined it for over a year and only was able to fill a ring tray with raw pieces. That is why it is so expensive. It can only be found in one area of the world and is very limited in quantity.
He showed me a necklace made of moldavite. I was curious because it just seemed to shine brightly; like nothing I had ever seen. But I don't think I was seeing this piece through my eyes, but through my "third eye". It was as if I was seeing the necklace's aura glow (it's energy glow).
As you all know, gems, minerals and crystals have healing properties and vibrate to specific energies. We are drawn to the stones our body, mind and spirit needs at specific times in our lives. Like I said, I had always heard about Moldavite and people spoke of it with such "awe" and reverence but I never figured I would ever own a piece. Until now. Some people say the crystals find you. You do not find them. I know what that means. I was not "supposed" to go back to visit my friend one more time last week. But my other necklace broke and I needed it repaired so went to see my friend who I knew would fix it for me ASAP. At the same time, he was just receiving a package from his dad of this Moldavite.
I asked him to borrow his crystal book to read more. This is what it said: Moldavite it tektite which was found in Czechoslovakia during meteoritic action that was formed over 15 million years ago and is the only known gem quality of extraterrestrial origin. It is the rarest form. Moldavite is a stone to serve the inhabitants of earth and helps prepare of for a shift in consciousness and in preparation to grow to the next level of consciousness.
I wrote about this in my most recent newsletter!!!
After reading more, I told Kip that, yes I needed to have this necklace. I thought it was a lot of money to pay but he gave me a good deal. He told me that the stone would have an effect on me and I would have to get used to the energy. I didn't understand what he meant but I put the necklace on, walked out of his door, went down the street and I felt something hit in me right in the chest! I was coming out of my skin and it was all I could do to keep control. Then I thought maybe this necklace was not right for me....not good for me. I thought I was going to go over the edge any minute but managed to "ground" myself. My body was feeling tingling, especially my chest and on upwards; especially my heart chakra.
I didn't even make it home when I called Kip and asked "what is going on?" He just laughed and said you will have to get used to the energy. "This is the most powerful stone ever. Some people cannot get used to the energy right away. It may take you a couple of days". I decided to keep wearing the necklace and trust Kip's advice, as he has worked with the crystal world since he was a young boy.
I showed my friends the necklace that evening and they could not believe I actually found a piece! One of my Scorpio friends put the necklace on and exclaimed "I can feel the energy. Ooh! It is so powerful. My hand is tingling!" Others crowded around to see the necklace and admire it. They all knew it was special. I felt so open....so vulnerable....but yet also, so very alive with this piece.
When I got home that night, I put my hand in my coat pocket and reached for the information card Kip had given me on Moldavite. I never read it until then. Here's what it read:
Moldavite is the product of a meteorite collision with the Earth nearly 15 million years age. It fell over what is now called the Moldavite River valley. These green gems are among the most rare numerals on the earth. They have been prized by humans for thousands of years and are still given as gifts from royalty to royalty. In legend, it is believed that Moldavite was the green stone in the Holy Grail and has the power to quicken one's spiritual evolution.
Even people even those not sensitive to the energies of stones, often feel the energy of Moldavite. Many sense it as heat, tingling or a pulsating sensation in their hand. Others feel a rush of energy thought heir body, usually upwards out of the top of their heads. Moldavite's high vibrational energy is a powerful chakra opener, particularly at the heart and above. Sleeping with Moldavite activates the dream state. Wearing it helps manifest positive change.
Friends, I have to tell you that after a week, I am wearing my necklace and am in tune and attuned to its energy. My mind seems to be more open and more aware of the "truth" in life and my direction. I have never ever felt like this before...so assured of my decisions, thoughts, actions, etc. When I am pondering a question or thought, I immediately seem to have the "right" answer. In the past, I would analyze things to death but now, I ask myself something, the answer comes and I do not question it. It is as if my heart, mind, soul and body are all in agreement. This is so weird but not in a bad way. I feel as confident in my thoughts and I also feel as if I am operating on a higher frequency level than I was last week. The information card my friend gave me also said moldavite will help me in the dream state, The first night I purchased it, I had a wonderful dream and I remember waking up, feeling assured about everything in life, that all would be well and that I would make the right decisions for anything that came my way. I felt so much peace. It is hard to explain so I hope you are understanding what I am writing. I have never had such an experience because of a gemstone/mineral before. Even if this is just psychological, it is a good thing too. But if the Moldavite is indeed doing what it is said to be able to do......I ask myself, why did I not find it sooner? Probably because I was not ready for it. If you read my last newsletter, I wrote of how many of us are operating in a higher frequency these days. Moldavite may be part of my frequency shift.
I was so excited about my discovery that I asked my friend if I could purchase whatever moldavite he had so I could offer it to my clients and friends. I was only about to get about 7 pieces; 2 pendants set in silver and 5 rings set in silver. They are unisex and are raw moldavite. They are more expensive than what I usually sell but if you do some research you will see why. It is sold by the gram. The pieces I have range in price of $50 to $165. The rings can be sized. I will have them at the psychic fairs for purchase or you can call me. These were all my friend had and could get. It is rare to find them set in jewelry pieces.
I feel like a different person and also a better person if that makes sense. I feel even more spiritual and have not been able to think or hold a negative thought for very long. I have not found myself complaining about anything but looking at all things from a positive perspective. If Moldavite and my experience interests you, I would be happy to share more of my experiences with you. From time to time, I like to offer these with you.
Angels Turned Back Time!
There was also another strange experience many of us had at the Edgar Cayce Tour I organized in January in Virginia Beach. Some of you may have seen the tour on my web site. I had the honor or speaking at the Edgar Cayce Institute in January. About 50 StarScopers came with me for classes, etc. About ten of us, had the same experience at different times. The only way I can describe what happened is that the Angels turned back time. Let me tell you about my experience and then you'll read what others wrote and experienced.
I was at the hotel, running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get things organized for the afternoon classes at the institute., I was short on time and knew I would be running late. I still had to go downtown, back to the hotel, make copies and change my clothes. It was 1:20p.m when I first glanced at my watch. I completed all of the above errands and arrived at the Cayce bookstore to do some quick shopping. I was stressed to the max because I would late for the 2p.m. class. I looked at my watch and could not believe my eyes! The time was only 1:20p.m.!!!! How could that be? It was not possible!!!! I made a comment to the sales clerk that the angels must have turned back time for me. I joked that I had more time to shop now. Which I did.
I didn't think anything of the Angels turning back time until the next day when Ben and Monica , two of my guests said," Maria, we want to share something really strange that happened to us last night. It was real freaky." I just knew what they were going to say.....I said "Wait a second.....did the angels turn back time for you?"
They look astonished that I knew and both said "Yes!"
Here's what happened in their own words from Ben and then from Monica:
I believe that we experienced something of a time warp. Monica and I left the Cayce Institute right after class (about 5:30) and decided to look for a restaurant that we could go to later in the evening. We drove around for what seemed like a half hour (either the car's clock or my watch wasn't correct). We went back to the hotel and decided to take a walk on the beach, it was in the 60s. The walk was fun and we were still checking the time, not wanting to be late for Maria's lecture at 7:30 (my watch or her cell phone time wasn't correct). The walk seemed to last for hours while we talked and enjoyed the time together. Something else strange happened, people walking on the beach with their dogs didn't seem to see us. Their dogs would walk up to us to check us out, but their owners never acknowledged our presence there! Still checking the time, which didn't seem correct, we headed back to the hotel. When we got to Monica's room the time was still 5:30. It then seemed that time began to move forward after it "standing still" for so long. Monica and I talked until it was time for us to return to your lecture. I still get chills whenever I think about it. The universe gave us special time together. Thanks again for a wonderful time Maria.

Dear Maria
I heard that you wanted to know about the experience Ben and I had in Virginia Beach with time. So this is what happened. We were leaving the A.R.E and both of us looked at the clock and notice that it was 5:30pm. So we said that we had 2 hours until we needed to come back so we could hear you speak. So we decided to go for a little drive, and explore a little. I remember saying that the clock in my car didn't seem right. After a while we went back to the hotel and walked on the beach. It seemed like we were on the beach for a long time. I looked at my cell phone and said again the time could not be right, I thought maybe it was messed up because I turned if off. We said something about the time at least 3 times while on the beach. We stayed on the beach and talked even though we felt it should have been time to be going back to A.R.E I remember while we were standing on the beach at two different times, two different dogs came up to us and ran around us and seemed happy. We talked to the dogs and then they ran off. I thought it seemed odd that the people that had the dogs did not seem to notice that we were standing there.( I thought of this later after we talked about this) When we decided it was probably time to be going I needed to get something from my room so we stopped there first. I looked at the clock, it said 5:30pm!! Ben and I both commented, we still have 2 hours?!! So then we had 2 hours until we needed to be back to A.R.E. After that time seemed to be normal. So we don't have any clue how long we talked. I seemed like we were on the beach for a very long time though. We made it back to the A.R.E on time. I wish I would have wrote everything down after it happened.

Sherri Starr, a friend and psychic who works for me was also on the Cayce Trip and here's her experience:
Dear Maria;
Amy and I had our alarm set and it kept going off 1 hour behind the actual time. So we started running around getting ready and didn't think we had time for breakfast and coffee. Then I looked at my watch and it said 1 hour later. I told Amy either my watch is going wacky or the alarm clock is. So we went and had breakfast because we had to be at the Cayce Institute and didn't want to be late. But when we arrived, we were one hour early. It was that way on the whole trip! My watch kept stopping and it would be always I hour behind. When we got on the plane to come home and we where in the air my watch was back to it's regular time. and has been since. So whether it was the Cayce energy or angels, it was weird. Sherri
And here's yet another letter.
Becky and Dan from Caro Michigan also joined us:
Dear Maria
... At 6:00 p.m., Daniel, Jimmy and I went out to eat at the Out Back Steak House. Finally, after the psychic fair, and then eating at the Outback, the group met around 8:00 pm. We exchanged a lot of information and had a lot of laughs too. I was feeling a little tired and thought it was 11:00 p.m. but in actuality it was only around 9:00 pm. Time had seemed to slow down or was lost. I mentioned it to the group that time was moving very slowly and differently. Everyone agreed and shared some of their experiences. Angela and Kristine shared with the group that they had lost an hour while exploring in the forest. Everyone felt time was different and we could do more things in a day. When Daniel and I arrived back in Michigan, I felt as if I had jet lag. I slept for 12 to 13 hours for two nights. Somehow time had changed and the body could feel it too, but the mind could not process it. My experience in Virginia will always be remembered. Somehow, I am very different from when I went and came home. It was a life changing event.
Becky
And finally from our New Orleans friends:
Hi Maria,
As you requested this is an account of the walk Angela and I experienced in the state park in Virginia Beach.
We entered the park at a trail which was the site of a communal burial ground for the remains of many Chesapeake Indians discovered during an archeological dig.
We were enjoying the day and the re-constructed Indian village that had been built to depict the manner in which these people lived. The huts, sweat lodge, fishing camp and other structures were somewhat far apart. We walked for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. I brought to Angela's attention that I found it odd that I had neither seen nor heard any animals or even insects.
As we walked further down the path I began to spin around with my hands in the air just expressing the joy that I felt to be in this sacred place. Suddenly my attention was drawn to an incredible tree. It was towering above the rest in the area and it's branches were in a configuration that seemed to beckon anyone who would see it.
It is difficult to explain the attraction and feelings I had at that moment for the tree. I called Angela's attention to the tree, stating that it seemed almost magical. Angela suggested that we needed to hug the tree which we did. We stayed at the tree for what seemed a brief time. We then continued on our walk. It seemed as if the joggers and others on the trail did not even see us or acknowledge us. We continued walking and since we did not see any other exhibits, we decided to return to the car as we faced another 45 minutes to an hour walk back to the trail head.
We then began seeing the Indian Village exhibits very rapidly, where before we walked for longer periods of time between the exhibits. . We were both confused and in wonder that our return walk took only about 10 minutes.
We sat, incredulous, in the car upon our return and both wondered if we had not been in some unexplained "time warp" or "other dimension."
It was an experience that neither of us will ever forget.
Kathleen
Hi Maria.. seems you already received the email from Kathleen about our experience in Virginia.. I had also written one but since Kathleen and I did not get a chance to review each others, you will have two..
I wrote a book.... LOL.. seems I just cannot keep those words to a minimum... (Gemini trait I assume ) and understand fully that you do not have space to use this version, but I would like to you to keep it for your records.. :)
See you soon!

Our Experience and Perception of Time in Virginia Beach
Plato argued that time is constant, and that it is life that is the illusion, Galileo struggled over the philosophy of time and figured out how to plot it on a graph so he could explain the importance of physics, and Albert Einstein said that time is just another dimension, a fourth one to go along with the up-down, side-side, forward-back we move through every day. Our understanding is based on time's relationship to our environment. Past, Present and future are merely figments of our imagination, constructs built by our brains so that everything does not seem to happen at once. Is time just an Illusion? Do we each experience and perceive time in the same manner despite society's depiction of what we are suppose to accept and believe in?
Kathleen and I attended the Edgar Cayce Tour at the A.R.E in Virginia Beach, January 10 – 13, 2008. This was our first time joining Maria on any one of the many tours she has offered over the years. We both knew we needed to visit and learn more about Edgar Cayce and his teachings, and so it was, everything was perfect this time. We had to go, wanted to go, and needed to go!
There were many seminars we attended, many souls we met and many feelings we experienced, however the one that will always remain a peaceful reminder of our time at the A.R.E. during this exploration was after we attended the Seminar by Una Marcotte about the Akashic Records. We learned that Edgar Cayce at times received information from the Ascended Masters, and that Virginia Beach was the location that he was instructed to build his hospital since the area would always be protected because it was the home of the White Brotherhood. It was explained that many people had felt a powerful positive energy in the area located close by and in the adjacent First Landing State Park.
After the seminar we got in our rental car and headed North to look for an entrance into the park area. As we drove into the park, we indeed noted an unbelievable peaceful feeling, we continued to drive, looking for a place to park and walk. However, we both felt that this was not where we were suppose to stop. We both felt we needed to go more eastward, however the road ended. We turned around, returned to Atlantic Ave and continued to drive toward and down Shore Drive. We continued to comment on how very accepting and peaceful the area was, as if we were actually part of a beautiful painting of serenity that kept us driving onward. At the same time we noticed another entrance to the park, across from the Chesapeak Bay Tourist Entrance, we turned in.
There are 2,880 acres of landscape to the park and we took our time allowing the beauty to envelop us. We noticed there were many trails at which we could stop and walk, but neither one of us said stop until the car just seemed to say, stop, park, walk. We eagerly bolted from the car and noted at that time that this particular trail was called the Cape Henry Trail which had a replica of an Indian Village on its path. We both just smiled and nodded with a knowing that this was where we were suppose to walk since we both have had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge regarding the native American cultures.
As you enter this trail, to the left is a Ceremonial Indian Burial Ground, the resting place of the remains of 64 Chesapeake Indians reburied at this site in April, 1997. We were thankful for this opportunity to pay respects to these 64 Indians and silently requested permission to visit this sacred area. As we walked along the 1/2-mile trail we viewed replica's of a sweat lodge, sleeping quarters and fishing hut with boat. We walked, and walked, very slowly, noting the serenity of the area, the stillness of the trees, the leaves strewn about the ground that did not move, the perfect temperature, the absence of birds, bugs, wind and sound. We looked up, around, down the trail, behind us, using all senses to experience this unforgettable serenity. Kathleen pointed to a majestic tree, with branches that seemed to fold its massive branches around the sky in the middle of a group of smaller slim trees, " Look at that tree!", indeed it was majestic and seemed to be beckoning us over, I said, "Let's go hug that tree!" So we approached this majestic beauty with outstretched arms, both hugging either side of her and giving thanks for this opportunity to be ever in the presence of such royalty. The trunk was so large that the two of us never reached around her entirety. She was beautiful, and as we hugged, it felt as if she hugged back. I have never in my life felt the need as I did at that time to hug a tree, nor despite my playing in trees as a child had I ever hugged a tree in that manner. We were both silent, hugging and each giving our own thanks and prayers for a "Few Minutes" We both seemed to let go at the same time and proceeded back to the trail. We had at this time been walking almost an hour and figured we had better head back since it would take us about another hour to get back to the car. We turned back, noting a few people also had jogged the trail, or walked their dog down the trail, but also noting something most strange. None of the people acknowledged us, we would nod, as if to say hello, and their eyes seemed to look past us, they actually seemed to walk through us, not even the dogs paid any attention that we were right in front of them. We smiled at each other shaking our heads, as if to say, how very strange. We looked at our watch, 3:45 pm, yes, we had been walking almost one hour, so we continued back down the trail toward the car, we were at our car in 10 minutes. I looked at Kathleen, she looked at me, with a look of confusion, surprise and content all wrapped up in a one sentence… How did we get back so fast? We laughed out loud, for we knew without a doubt that we had lost almost 1 hour on that trail, and tried as we did, could not figure out why it took 45 minutes to go in one direction, and 10 minutes to return to the car. Our only conclusion is that we had to have walked in a different dimension, of time and space, of peace and harmony for almost an hour with that majestic tree opening the door to a journey we have been able to bring back with us.
We wish we could remember something else from that time lapse, that perhaps some message was given to us that we were not open to receive, but after a few weeks of thinking about this, we can only conclude that the message to us, on that trail was to remember the peace, be quiet and enjoy the journey.. which we have and will. We both agree that we returned to New Orleans with a very clear ability to feel that core peacefulness we experienced in Virginia Beach. We thank the Universe for this opportunity to share our story, and even though time may be an illusion, that illusion we both experienced has had an impact on our souls.. so, is time really an illusion, or a perception that we all have the ability to analyze for the growth of our souls. .

I later found out more info on this forest Angela and Kathleen visited. There is a deep forest in Virginia beach that is like a vortex...it has some unique energy that some psychics claim makes time stand still. It's like we were in another dimension for a period of time. We are planning on another trip to the Cayce Institute next January and will be taking a side trip to the forest with anyone who wishes to join us. Because this was not an isolated incident, but many in our group experienced the same phenomena happen, I knew I was not going crazy. I thought it would be good to share with you StarScopers. More and more of us are having these unique experiences as our energies shift to a different and higher vibration. I know this may sound strange to some people. But for those of you who are reading this and find it resonates, you understand what I am writing about. It's a little scary but not in a bad way....you feel as if you are a part of something bigger than life. These spiritual experiences are a unique way to remind us that yes, there is something bigger than our own little world out there or at least what we perceive it to be!
These are the types of things that happen on many of our spiritual tours we offer each year. As many of you know, we are going doing another crystal mining trip in Arkansas the end of March. You are all welcome to sign up and come with us. With each tour or trip I plan, my intention is not only for you to have fun but also come away with some sort of spiritual experience. It is usually different for everyone. It's also great traveling and getting to know people of like minds, I hope those of you who have not joined us yet on a trip, will consider one of the many we have planned over the next year or two. |
