Yes but I was wondering if the stones were the reason it came out or would it have come out anyway? The energy of the stones coupled with the feeling of panic she had, fear of death perhaps? Being buried under stones? Interesting thoughts to ponder.

Pat, she went to a Wake that same day! That is the answer to your question. She probably has some kind of grief that she has not dealt with and it all came out in your session.

I had something kind of unusual happen to me as I gave a hot stone massage yesterday. The woman got about half way through and then suddenly told me she was too hot and was starting to have a panic attack. I did not want her to be uncomfortable so I told her I would finish the massage without the stones. She still says she was too hot for a while even with no stone and no heat on the table. She told me she just went to a wake that day and was still emotional and then told me she was menopausal as well. She was finally able to relax near the end of the massage. She felt badly about it but I tried to reassure her that hot stone is not for everyone. Obviously being menopausal does not help her handle heat well but I was wondering what the emotional aspect had to do with the feeling of panic she had? Any thought or comments and has this ever happened with any of your clients? This is the first time it every happened to me.

Mankind has been drawn to stones and gems throughout history. Some hear but do not listen to the voices of the ancient ones. A few hear them and understand. But we feel their power and draw near.

Hi Jenny, Yea you have to be careful where you tread, I have had no problem finding stones, but I am not picking up stones to sell, thats where they get up tight about the mineral rights. Let me know if you come out, and I will send you a map to areas to pick from. And dont for get your water!

Hey Brian, Yup the AZ stones are hard to beat! Several of the best suppliers in the business are located in Tucson and Phoenix. Problem I found when I was just driving the back roads to do my own gathering, was how to stay off of private land or not trespass on mining claims. Had no idea until I visited AZ that folks actually place a claim on surface stone, I thought that was for the gold guys...turns out gravel companies and landscaping companies have huge tracts of land tied up under BLM mining claims. Next time I'll have more days to play and do a bit of research before I head out with my backpack and sombrero!!...thanks

Come for a visit to Arizona, we have hundreds of miles of perfect high iron and copper stones just laying in the dry river bottom, spend a afternoon (not during the summer) hand picking your favorites for free.

Greetings Stone Walkers,
I just got home from Australia where the stones are dancing full on mate!! Lots of different expressions of Geothermal therapy being taught 'down under' and like here in the states many of the same issues turn up. Burns and infections being the most serious. Poor education and lack of formal criteria.
The Geothermal therapy Association has finished its new program to help with some of that...
They now have 6 hr. CE course available that focuses on training in temperature safety, contraindications, sanitation and professional equipment. The cool thing is the course is only $125 and includes a one year membership in the association.
Check it out at www.geothermaltherapy.com
I'm off to Kentucky in the a.m. to the World Massage Festival..hope to see some of you there. I'll be working in the GTA booth along with another board member Janelle Lakman.
Take care of U,
Jenny
