I received an email from the nice people at exquisitecrystals.com today about how crystals can be used to help in the BP oil spill clean up. The have passed it on themselves from Judy Hall the author of the very wonderful little and beautifully done The Crystal Bible.

If it seems far fetched to you that the rocks of the earth would understand how to help heal this earth wound, remember that scientists have done experiments where DNA separated from it's human organism responds half a world away when the human it came from experiences physical pain. We are just becoming conscious of consciousness and this oil spill can be a gateway to the next level of understanding.

I quote Judy's letter in full:

I was lying in final twist, pulling my hip away from my ribs like a good little yogi, when the teacher, who didn’t know my practice that well, came over and gave me an adjustment.

My back cracked. His eyes lit up; I could tell he was very pleased with himself. My back cracked ten more times. His eyes shifted to panic. Being a people pleaser, I tried to quietly reassure him. But I was, in fact, on the verge of panicking about it myself.

I’d been trying, unsuccessfully, to remember when my right hip joint had started cracking so prolifically. But I could only conjure memories of lying on my mat, twisting deeper and deeper, feeling like it needed to crack but couldn’t.

That night, standing in the shower, I swayed—shifting my ribs ever so slightly in the particular way that causes my back to crack over and over again. I counted up to 100 cracks. (I know. Counting is another bad habit that we control enthusiasts fall into when chaos is looming.) But I couldn’t stop. I was trying, as I had been every night for some time, to crack it until it was all cracked out. One more crack. Just one more.

After my show last week some fans asked if I had a bibliography that covered some of the info I used to develop my theories about life, love and happiness. So here are some of my sources. I love how they spin! Come experience them in action at the show this Friday & Saturday, Nov. 7 & 8 at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica and Saturday Dec. 13 in Palms Springs.
