Chapter XVIII
"The Ice Palace of Light"
"The Ice Palace of Light"
Willow looked around her and saw that there were many large crystal points jutting through the surface of the pool’s water. They were the largest crystals Willow had ever seen! They seemed to rise from the depths of the pool and reach up to kiss the sky. The crystals were of many beautiful colours - purple amethyst, rose quartz, shimmering white moonstone with its rainbow colours and the golden yellow of citrine, to name a few. She knew that each one of these crystals have their own special quality and its own purpose, but she was not exactly sure how to use crystals for healing. Hawk saw her wondering thoughts and began telepathically sending her the information she was searching for. |
Hawk taught Willow that crystals, like feathers, can also be used with a healing session. Amethyst is known as the “stone of peace” and strength and one of its many uses is that of protection. Willow was also shown that rose quartz is the love stone! It adds positive love energy, compassion and forgiveness. Moonstone, with its many reflective rainbow colours, is known as the “Stone of Purity” and citrine is a stone for hoping and wishing and it enhances the body’s healing energy.
As Willow came out of her meditative state and began to regain more of her focus, she realized crystals would be very useful in her future healing sessions. Willow saw that the prism that had been so gently hanging in the sky had been transformed into a sparkling clear quartz crystal palace. It was majestic and it now sat at the far edge of the pool. The palace appeared to be made of ice! Hawk told her she was looking at the Ice Palace of Light and what she saw radiating through the ice was the sparkling of magnificent great white light healing energies that reflected the colours of a sun filled prism. Curious, thought Willow. From where she sat across the pool she could feel great warmth exuding from the Ice Palace and it felt spectacular! But how could ice be warm?
Hawk stated that things are not always as they appear, or as one thinks they are or should be. The great warmth of the Ice Palace was one such example. This was another wonderful lesson for Willow. It was certainly wisdom that she would never forget. Hawk went on to tell Willow that the palace represented the purest of love for all living things sharing our planet. While she was in her meditative state, she had been receiving the many healing energies that had been projected to her from the Ice Palace and from the many crystals that were surrounding her in the pool. Looking around, she saw many additional crystals sitting high upon boulders and hanging from nearby trees. In many ways, this reminded her of the Crystal Forest. A multitude of animals and birds were now surrounding the pool. Hawk told her that they had come to greet and thank her for who she is and gift her with their healing energies - special energies from the world of the animal kingdom that would aid her greatly in her upcoming journey of healing. Then they adorned her head with a wreath of soft purple lilacs and shimmering amethyst.
The soothing sound of the Snowy White Owl could be heard along with the sweet songs of the Nightingale. The Chipmunks and Squirrels ran up and down trees chattering with excitement. There, at the opposite end of the pool from Willow, floated a peaceful white Swan. Coyotes sat atop a ledge with their noses pointing high in the air as they howled in celebration to the heavens above. This was certainly the most beautiful choir Willow had ever heard. In another direction, and on the highest most point of a garnet crystal tip, sat a Raven blacker than night. Then, to Willow’s great surprise, she saw that the Devas were there too! Willow watched as these lovely little light-beings danced across nearby floating lily pads. Although invisible to Willow, the Devas had been at her side as she had visited each of the chambers. They had made themselves invisible to her, but they had been by her side always.
“Follow me, dearest Willow”, whispered Hawk.
