The faery wood orb is in motion: it was moving faster than the camera shutter clicked. so you have a slight double image. It is moving right to left, hence the darker red tinged circle edge on the right. The alpha tree orb shows a bit more detail and this is what you are looking for in orb photos: notice the interior forms that indicate substance inside the orb – in this case, two small light circles in the front and a lighter area to the upper left.

Your being able to capture them indicates a communication between the two of you that you might want to contemplate. As you know, there were many other photographers shooting that exact same scene at the same time and you are one of the very few who got an orb to manifest on film! Personal intent, and your unconscious ability to affect the frequency of your camera as it shoots are also factors.

I suggest you get kyanite and selenite. These are two excellent stones for assisting to align energies and they do not absorb negative frequencies. You can place these in tumbled form in your pocket, wear them inside your shirt as pendants, and place larger specimens in your office to keep it clear. You can see these on our website crystal-life.com
You can receive the benefits of a stone from carrying it in a pocket as it works on your subtle energy field. You can get an extra boost by wearing it around your neck or placing a larger stone under your examining table, in the room

Stones get along nicely with each other. But it is good to use stones separately at first, so that you get to know and understand each one and their frequency. Then you can combine a few at a time. You also want to keep them clear, by occasionally placing them on sea salt or out in the full moon.

So pleased to hear your husband is enjoying the pendant!

It actually does matter what kind of birds come to your feeders, for you choose the type of feed and your energy in the yard attracts different birds. Especially significant is if an unusual bird appears. For instance, many decades ago, a huge, huge black raven came and sat on my patio, in the bush by my front window, for three days running. That site was the usual resting place for cardinals. The next day I was in a serious auto accident! (Ravens have other meanings as well, not always associated with potential death.) But the 28 day cycle refers just to the rabbit/hare, which has a 28 day gestation cycle. Atala

First, any crystals you purchase at our store are quite clear already: our staff carefully clears them several times a week, and they are living in an environment with a lot of clearing objects.

Second, it depends upon the kind of stone you want to clear. Be careful leaving clear quartz in the sun as quartz is a traditional way to start fires! Better to leave it in the daylight under a tree or somewhere where the direct sun does not pass through it, e.g. to focus to heat. Do not put colored stones in the direct sun as you can fade them, especially rose quartz, amethyst and the calcites. Be careful when placing stones on salt or in salt walter that it is not a soft stone such as lapis, sodalite, malachite, turquoise as the salt can eat away the stone. For the other stones, it is good, overnight is usually sufficient, then rinse off the stone and dispose of the salt down the drain.

You can also clear stones in these ways: place all your stones in the moonlight of a full moon, outside during an electrical storm, inside on a bed of moss (even the kind you purchase at a craft store for flower display making), by holding the stone and passing clearing incense such as sage, sweetgrass, sandalwood over it, by placing it in the palm of your hand and bringing the other palm down over it while imaging clearing energy emitting from your palms, by inwardly energetically clearing it, placing small stones on a quartz cluster.

Most of all: have fun with the stones!
