Trauma Healing

Most people call what I have nick knacks. But I call them alters.

This is my first alter. This is my prayer for my family. I pray for peace for my family. It holds pictures of my family with a tea light candle. I burn one every night.

This is my second alter. It has a Himalayan salt lamp that was given to me from the person whom introduced me to meth. The drum on the wall I made myself. It makes a fabulous sound.

To the right, I have a white angel candle from a friend of mine whom died of brain cancer. You can also see his small urn, given to me and I am so appreciative.

The back flow incense burner was given to me by a friend whom, at this time is not speaking to me.

This is my third alter. I consider this one my own prayer for myself. It may sound selfish, but I believe in prayer for my own well being. It has a small singing bowl, which I can play. It also has petrified wood on the top, it’s for grounding, stability, protection, transformation and connecting to ancestors.

It has Amazonite, which is known as the stone for courage and truth.

Malachite, symbolizes change, protection and renewal.

Lastly, Carnelian, known for courage, creativity and motivation.

The bottom of the alter has several stones. Rose quartz, which we all know is unconditional love. Amethyst for healing.

Then we have Lapis Lazuli, Selenite, Amethyst, Snowflake Obsidian and Tigers Eye in a holder.

Lapis Lazuli is about intuition. It centers on truth, wisdom and enlightenment.

Selenite is for purity, peace and high spiritual vibration.

Amethyst again is healing and is a good stone for sobriety.

Snowflake Obsidian is for purity, balance and protection.

Tigers Eye strength, courage, protection and good luck.

The link hanging on the wall above this table is the seven (7) chakras.

Oh, I almost forgot the citrine stone and the mahogany jasper stone.

Yellow Citrine is for Joy, abundance and prosperity. The mahogany stone is for grounding, strength, protection and spiritual growth.

It also has three (3) gems on the bottom shelf I got from one of my grandkids.

This alter is a prayer for peace for my enemies. It holds Flourite, for clarity, focus and harmony. Polychrome Jasper for joy, vitality, grounding and passion. Rhodinite helps to reduce and suppress anxiety. This is also known as a love stone, but refers more to healing old wounds, forgiveness and peace in a loving way.

Orca Agate is known for transformation, courage and inner peace.

And lastly Bloodstone activates our inner strength, willpower and courage that’s been masked by fear.

Besides those we have stones that resonate with garnet and obsidian. Love passion, commitment and protection. Obsidian resonates with protection, warding off negative energies and psychic attacks.

Garnet possesses love, passion, commitment and protection.

Lastly, a healing stone.

This last alter is my prayer for world peace. It holds a glass sphere with a light under it for showing off. Top shelf Chevron Amethyst providing enhanced spiritual insight, balance and protection. Angelite is for keeping contact with your angelic guides and Sunstone for joy.

The second shelf holds Kambaba Jasper for nurturing and grounding, a purple crystal ball and Black Tourmaline for protection.

Bottom shelf holds Sodalite, which is for clear communication, intuition and spiritual growth. Howlite for tranquility, patience and stress relief. And lastly, Volcanic Agate, which is good deep emotional healing, self forgiveness, protection and inner peace.

And that is my alters in a nutshell. They all mean a lot to me.
