:) I finally cracked and bought a drum, djembe to be specific. Guitar Center was having a sale, but go figure the one I chose (rather, the one that chose me) wasn't on sale and was too pretty to say no to.
Some of us are gonna be doing fireside drumming at my friend Jimmy's house, and the lady at the pagan shop wants me to come for healing circles. Yippie!

Handed my mom the prayer mala I made and said "hey remember those Tibetan prayer beads I wanted you to buy me? I made my own!". She made a quasi-awkward face and promptly handed them back, so I know they've been successfully charged with Pagan goodness :)
Haha

The beads are wood, and the pentragram counting beads are mock-cinnabar. The red beads at the bottom are acryllic wrapped in some type of silver.

There's 60 beads in the strand, not counting the cinnabar. It's not a traditional number count for mala, and I'm still figuring out exactly which mantra I'd want to use. Right now I have it sitting around a strawberry quartz skull and my apollo plate with a selenite tower. I took an omen after dedicating it and yeah, this is going to be an interesting time in my life.
Girls night in with me, karly, and Nicole. Painted my nails rainbow for Iris and the chakras.
Got a little messy on the thumb lol

If you could have any vehicle (a helicopter, sports car, space ship, yacht, etc.) and a free place to park it, what would you choose, and why?
First question listed was submitted by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1){kind=small}

Anymore ridiculously easy questions?
So this weekend I'll be meeting Sherry and some other lovely people for this life changing healing session I've been craving so badly. Wanting to prepare myself, I asked what my biggest problem that needs worked on is.
This didn't take long to answer, communication is my issue. I feel like my spirit, mind, and body aren't communicating properly at all because they all want different things.
My spirit calls me to Columbus, mostly to be closer to what is my epicenter of spiritual knowledge. I trust Columbus and I feel safe there. Also I'll be able to grow into my own person there. I've always been drawn there, I joke that I'd take driving to Columbus (2.5 hours) over Pittsburgh (45 min) any day.
My mental self is still drawn to Akron and Pittsburgh. I feel like I was escaping when I moved back from Akron, and that I left a lot of good people behind up there. I also feel like I'll be leaving behind my Pittsburgh friends that I'm very blessed to have as well. I don't really want to be a Crane, Sassafras is by far the most healing group my heart has ever found. How can I live in Columbus and still be in Sassafras? It's possible, but conflicts with my strong sense of practicality.
Physically I feel drawn to stay put in Steubenville but get my own place. My family is here, my friends are here, and Steubenville is what formed so much of who I am. I always feel safe here, and I do feel a sense of belonging too. At any minute of any day I can find something to get into without a sense of fear or anxiety. I'm one of the few proud gay people here that haven't been swallowed up by the small town close mindedness, I feel untouchable here. Moving away makes me feel abandoned, even though I know that's untrue.
I think my doubt comes from my body and mind feeling neglected as I work so consistently on my spirituality. I haven't done much for my body by holing up inside and withdrawing from everyone that doesn't live within walking distance. Mentally I'm neglecting myself by not taking care of the stray thoughts that boggle my mind. I haven't done much to sort my brain out, besides taking a walk and typing this from my phone.
Speaking of which, I do feel slightly better now. Headphones to cancel out the background thoughts, sunlight and exercise for the body, and the marvel of the returning greenery is grounding my spirit as I work out these problems.
Until the wind blows again,
-Anthony

Someone made a comment that dreams are not controlled by normal physics of time and space, a 3 minute dream can feel like it lasts for days. Wanting to experiment with this, I came up with the 10 minute nap idea. Like I said, wake up an hour and a half earlier than usual, which puts me at 7am and probably sounds like sleeping in to most of you, and then take 10 minute power naps. I use my phone's timer to keep me on schedule.
While I used to hardly remember my dreams, I now have in-depth vivid dreams that I can perfectly recall every single time I nap. What's more, is I can make requests too. I don't always dream of what I request, but it works often enough that I'm going to start working on that aspect too.
This experiment really kicked into gear when I began using Jadeite under my pillow. It only works when the stone is charged though, and it needs regular cleansing via Selenite. At Beltane I fastened a skeleton bead carved from bone onto the the jadeite stone and made a necklace out of it. Jade and Jadeite are both great stones for dreamwork, and they have a connection to the air which is a little bonus for me.
I don't really know exactly what I'm doing with this, mostly I'm just glad to have more dreams to take apart and analyze.
