Why we sell the products we do on this website (Text by Elizabeth Feliz):

Click here for more info about Chakras, Reiki and Shamanism.

The pet products (cats & dogs): We both love animals profusely! I have been a student of Shamanism since I was 19. Shamanism (for those of you who are unaware), in a nut shell, is calling upon the different animal spirits for their different guidance and wisdom and, in turn, finding your own power animal (s) to honor and work with. And anyone who has spent more than 2 seconds on Rich’s site knows that he, too, loves animals, and not just in his stories (check out his amazing links – especially the “Animal Spirits” one!). He also enjoys the use of animals in Myth. Therefore, it really wasn’t that big of a leap to want to sell products relating to one of our biggest passions in life: the love and care of animals!

Phyllis Hogan’s Winter Sun Products: This whole entire line of products relates to our philosophy in life: that nature is the most powerful way to tap the healing power inside of our own bodies, and who better than to have Phyllis Hogan, whose products we have both used for years, represent the healing products we believe in most. When dealing with natural products, it is so important to have someone crafting herbal tinctures who respects the plants. Check out our story of how we both came to know Phyllis and her store!

Musical Instruments (Stringed, Wind, Hand Drums, Percussion): We are both musicians and have written much great music together (see link to our songs, shamanicians) and independently. Thus, this is also something we are greatly knowledgeable and passionate about. Music, to us, also goes hand and hand with the Shamanic journey, and tapping ones’ inner helping spirits and thus is also a bridge to the divine. We believe strongly in the healing powers of music. I am a Reiki master, and Rich and I have done many musical healing/reiki sessions together on people. Each note corresponds to, and consequently opens up, a chakra. Rich and I are also currently working on a chakra-healing CD together.

Healing room products : This whole “healing room” of products go hand in hand with our love of healing.

The essential oils, oil bottles, oil rings, etc. :

In the book The Fragrant Heavens, there are amazing photo stills taken from video of a person’s hand with a drop of lavender essential oil, and then a still of the hand without the drop of oil. The picture of just the hand without the oil looks like a normal hand, but the picture with the oil shows a marked dramatic change. It looks like waves of color (vibration) are rolling off the hand! One can actually “see” how much just one drop of oil can impact one’s energy and auric field.

Essential oils and their different properties and uses are extremely powerful, and yet something not honored in the U.S. at all. Other countries, however, are very keenly aware of the awesome power of essential oils power to heal and help. For example, in England, if you have to spend the night in a hospital and are nervous and tense about it, the nurses there will offer you a sleeping pill OR a lavender massage! This is because lavender has the amazing ability to knock you out cold and have you sleeping wonderfully, without all the side effects of sleeping pills (which disrupt your r.e.m. cycle and therefore your ability to dream and feel refreshed in the morning). If you buy lavender oil in a pure enough form you can even drink it to help you sleep - be warned however, it does not taste very good. You must pinch your nose and simply down it! I know this from personal experience, but the bottle MUST say that you can ingest the oil, otherwise, please don’t!

Just like in my section on chakras, and how every single one vibrates at its own special frequency and vibration, so too do essential oils. Each and every one has its own amazing healing properties and uses, so much so that it is astounding. i first became interested in learning about aromatherapy because a massage client of mine came into my office and told me of an experience she had had during an aromatherapy facial. She said she came in to get her facial in a horrible mood (and had, in fact, almost cancelled), and when she left, she felt like her whole entire soul had been recharged and that she had the sense of floating out of the office when she left. I thought, “wow, this is really powerful!”

Being a massage therapist, I was excited to learn aromatherapy to add to my healing repertoire. Once I took a beginning class in aromatherapy, however, I was shocked to realize how much i did not know about this amazing subject. for instance, aromatherapy is not really about the scent of the oil. I had pictured aromatherapy massages being all about having pretty smelling things wafted under your nose, and it isn’t that at all (but this does not mean you don’t enjoy some of the aromas wafting around the room during the massage).

Aromatherapy is more about applying a few drops of essential oil into a carrier oil, rubbing the carrier oil into your skin, and then applying moist heat to the skin to literally get the properties of that oil right into your blood stream! A la stone massage goes hand in hand very nicely with an aromatherapy massage, or if you do not have access to stones and simply wish to apply the oils into your skin yourself, you may also use warm, moist towels. In a pinch, a heating pad will work, too, although that does not have the moist heat.

You must, however, read the bottle directions and not apply too many essential oil drops into the carrier oil. More is not always better, and in some cases too much essential oil will make you sick, nauseous or have the the opposite effect of what you were intending it for. Others oils are extremely safe and it would be very hard to “over dose” on them. Oils should always be treated with the same caution as any western medicine, for “medicine” is exactly what essential oils are.

Aromas and scents are also very powerful triggers for memories. Oftentimes, without us even realizing it, we store and catalogue certain events in our brain based on what smells were present at the time. If you wish to treat yourself to an aromatherapy massage, you may have one of the oils being used on you trigger a powerful release of memories long forgotten! Have you ever had this experience? You walk into a friend’s house whose mother is baking oatmeal cookies, for instance, and you are transported back to when your grandmother used to bake them? I think we all have, although not all aromas which trigger memories are as pleasant as the smell of fresh baked cookies.

The stone massagers: My whole entire life I have had a love of stones starting from when I was just a kid with rock collections. It is one of my strongest beliefs that stones have incredible healing powers, they are healing if you go out into nature and sit with them, they are healing if you heat them up and massage them into the belly of your muscles, they are healing if you place them over each of your chakras because they open them up. Hey, I am also a massage therapist, so it’s not much of a stretch of the imagination to want to combine the two together here in one great product. Enjoy!

The pendulums: Almost anyone experienced in energy work and chakra balancing knows how pendulums can go hand in hand with this work, if they so choose. Whenever I do a reiki session, I always first use a pendulum (and by that I mean, I hold it very still over each chakra to see if it starts spinning clockwise, counterclock wise or if it stays completely still. The idea here is that if you, the practitioner, hold the pendulum still enough without any vibrations from you, the client’s energy will move the pendulum itself) to check my clients chakras Depending on which way the pendulum moved, I can tell if their chakra is spinning correctly, spinning backwards, or is completely blocked (not spinning at all). The pendulum is a tremendous time saving tool for me with energy work, for it helps me get an instant reading on the body and lets me know where I need to focus. If a person’s chakras are blocked or spinning in the wrong direction, I do reiki over these areas and then check them again with the pendulum to let me know if the block has completely cleared. It’s a great way to give me instant feedback on how the body is doing!

The bumper stickers: Hey, we just think they are funny and reflect our sense of humor!

Jewelry: Anyone who knows me knows that I love amber. Amber is, essentially, tree resin and, I have this thing with trees. When I was a child, I used to tell people that I once was a tree. Many Native American and Druid cultures around the world believe that if you sit in a tree long enough with a very quiet mind, it will teach you its healing powers. Consequently, I have chosen some pieces of jewelry that I hope inspire people to realize how beautiful and powerful trees really are, pieces that make people want to share amber with the rest of the world!

I also chose pieces of jewelry that represent Celtic knot work, of which Rich and I are both big fans. Enjoy!
