I am so excited that you are looking into this course!

Connecting with the magic of stones will allow you to expand your intuitive heart, connect to the universal flow and stay grounded in Mother Earth. Like a tree that stretches out towards the universe, opening her chest, rooting deeply into Earth. The mineral realm is a gift from Mother Earth to us. There are more than 5,000 minerals on our planet, and they are vital for life on Earth. Some minerals make up beautiful rocks, crystals and gemstones. They talk to us in a special, many times personal way. Stones, as I collectively call crystals, gemstones and the like, have been used for centuries for special powers, healing and beauty. In modern times it is the mineral world that brings forth the most advanced technology. In this course we explore connected intelligence using crystals for readings to give insights, clarity and guidance to those who want it. We are at service for others to bring self-love, healing and empowerment to those that we touch.

More than 20 years ago, I had a serendipitous encounter with a man in the depths of the Lacandon Jungle. He was reading stones in the way I will show you here, and our meeting changed the course of my life. I connected with my intuition, and I embarked on the studies of Earth Sciences. The man was using real stones, as I do when doing readings for others. Lately, the stones have been calling me to make a card deck so that reading the stones becomes available for you and all others who feel the calling. Reading the actual stones is different from doing a reading with the card deck. When we use the real stones, they are displayed on the table between us and the person we read. They pose their inquiry and select the stones they feel drawn to. When we use the deck, we can shuffle it and draw single cards or display various cards in different constellations. In this course, I will show you both ways- using real stones or cards. That is so that you, with time, can gather your own collection of real stones and use both tools as you like.

 I love having the card deck since it is easy for traveling, and it allows me to do distant readings, for example, when the person we read can’t see the stones. Sometimes, we need a quick reading, and then the cards are perfect. Rather than getting the stones out and putting them up for display, we can draw cards. However, I do encourage you to also explore doing readings with real stones. There is nothing as enchanting as doing a reading with real stones. They are vibrant and full of energy, allowing for meaningful connection between the three: you, the stones, and the person being coached. However, the quality of the reading is up to you and your intuitive abilities, something that the stones and their cards will guide you to develop and deepen.

We use 52 different stones to unlock our intuitive abilities. Since I have a Master's in Earth Sciences, I can’t talk about the stones without talking about how they may have been formed, why they look like they do and their typical physical properties. I find it grounds me to know that there is structure and form to them. I hope you will find it as interesting as I do. Mother Earth has a science background, I am sure of it, and a very structured plan in the apparent entropy that surrounds us. Where I can, I have also given you a historical story personal to each stone, which will allow you to connect with them in yet another way. 

Maybe you have chosen this course because of your love and interest in stones. Maybe you want to connect, explore and deepen your intuitive abilities. Most likely, you enjoy being of service to others and supporting people on their personal journeys. No matter what brought you here to enroll in this course, there is a reason for it that will give you meaning. Start to explore, be playful and trust the stones. They will lead you to where you are meant to be. And perhaps you will find that you are already there.
