My husband took the information about the throat chakra, and ran with it.
“There is a crystal that is affiliated with your throat chakra that I was reading about. It is blue, and is called lapis lazuli. Maybe we should get you some.”
“Where would we go to get something like that?”
Neither of us had a clue.
I went into work a few days later, and a regular of mine came in. A lovely lady from Mauritius, who I hadn’t realized was spiritual. I shared with her some of what was going on with me. I had seen her through some dark times. I told her about the crystal and that I wasn’t sure where to even start looking for them.
She lifted her head up off the table.
“Akasha’s Den”.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Akasha’s Den! It’s here in Oakville. It’s the only place I go to for crystals because their stuff is legitimate.”
I told my husband about it, and that weekend we drove over. I wasn’t sure what to expect. The store was quite large. In the back portion they had rooms for services and workshops. The store was filled with crystals, some on open display, others under lock and key. Oracle cards, incense, journals, and sound bowls lined the shelves. The place had a very distinctive, and pleasant smell.
We looked through the open displays, before heading to the counter. Behind the counter was Jess, with a vibrancy about her that was matched by the coloured streaks in her hair.
“H there. We are looking for a particular crystal called lapis lazuli. I am wanting it for throat chakra, particularly. Do you have any?”
Yes they did. Jess launched into all the different crystals that could aid the throat chakra, all of them in lovely shades of blue. She showed us them before taking us to the cabinet with the lapis.
I was looking for a round, smaller size that I pictured resting in hollow at base of my throat.
She pulled that size out and spread them across the counter for me to see which I was drawn to. I selected one to place on my body, and one to keep beside my bed.
We ended up taking home a few tumbles for ourselves and our daughters. Each having characteristics we thought would be helpful.
When we got home, I told my husband that I was intrigued by the crystals. He ended up buying me a crystal guide to learn about them more. That curiosity lead to signing up for a crystals course at the Den, and taking another step along the path I had suddenly found myself on.
