Bright holly berries, surrounded by dark and glossy green leaves have been a holiday tradition for more than two thousand years. While the first evidence of holly as a yuletide decoration date to the early druids the tradition probably dates back to the first humans in the British Isles. Taking those bright leaves and berries to the sacred places, reminding people of the green life that lingers under the snow, bringing hope in the darkness of winter.

NOVEMBER GEMSTONES

Whew! Talk about time passing quickly, the year is fast coming to an end. and I really only have a few more monthly gemstone lists, but, never fear!!! I will continue to write view points and information, tips and ideas, about working with, using and caring for crystals. I will also start going more into the lore of special stones when they are presented to me. I will never quite know what I’ll be writing about until the time comes, so please keep checking the blog and the articles for this site for insights, information, and more.

(Side note: Sorry this was delayed but there were technical issues beyond my control or the control of John, the administrator of American Metaphysics and Blue Dragon Beauty. Everything is up and running again and I will try to catch up on sale items and such over the remaining few days of November.)

On to the monthly gemstones, which, by the way, may seem a bit short this month but the consensus of all of the lists I have found seem to agree with the Golden Topaz as the major stone for this month. The remaining stones are good alternatives if you can’t find a Golden Topaz which speaks to you (or that you can afford! The gemmy ones seems to be a bit on the pricey side.).

It's BLOWOUT BOOK SALE time!!!

Off the top of your head, you can probably name some of the benefits of massage. Loosening tight muscles, easing back and neck pain, aiding relaxation, the novelty of massage – these are all popular reasons why the public at large seeks out massage therapists and purchases massage chairs.

Experts estimate that back pain affects 80% of the population at some point in their lives, so it’s easy to understand why people invest in massage treatment! Massage has been a very effective way to treat back pain, but did you know that keeping your muscles supple and loose is one of the best preventative measures you can take to avoid back pain in the first place? Massage can help with this, treating tight muscles but also keeping muscles loose over time so that back pain can be safely avoided. But in-person massage therapy is growing increasingly expensive – as much as $100 per hour in some areas. This explains why more and more people are choosing to invest in a high-quality Panasonic massage chair, which provides comparable benefits in a more cost-effective solution that sits in your own living room!
