Martin Hall ville fylde op til flere sider, skulle man beskrive ham – så lad mig nøjes med at kalde ham multikunstner af Guds nåde og den mest produktive danske kunstner nogensinde.   Familien Danmark kender ham fra det musikalske gameshow Talent, hvor de en enkelt sæson fik kaffen og kagen galt i halsen, når Hall slyngede om sig med citater fra Rilke og Nietzsche – ulasteligt klædt i jakkesæt. Vi er mange andre, der kender ham fra det stadig voksende bagkatalog, hvor han naturligvis var involveret i punkens opståen i Danmark, hans karriere som popartist i midten af 80´erne og senere fra storladne soloalbums der stak ud på den hjemlige scene.   Når der lander ”nyt” som Martin Hall har været involveret i, kan man altid være nogenlunde sikker på at blive overrasket. Det var overraskende (og befriende) da han for en kort stund vendte kinden til de melankolske og dystre punk/new wave toner og gik full blown pop. Det var så også imødekommende da det melankolske atter vandt indpas og Hall skabte mesterværker med sine  senere udgivelser. Gennem alle disse stilskift, har Hall været så venlig, at udgive mere nicheprægede udgivelser, som hans Test Recordings hvor eksperimenterne fik lov at folde sig ud – men i det hele taget har vi at gøre med en mand der ikke er bange for at kaste sig ud i ikke umiddelbart nemme musikalske løsninger.   Hall er på ingen måde bange for at eksperimentere, det har vel været hans mantra gennem hele karrieren. Derfor er det ret oplagt, at han i 2009 stillede op med Tone og fremførte det som nu foreligger som Performing Apart. Albummet er en optagelse fra Audio-Visual festivalen Apart der fandt sted i Aalborg i september 2009. Performing Apart bygger på allerede eksisterende klange, som Hall og Tone tidligere hver for sig har udgivet – her bliver det hele klippet og klistret sammen på ny, og danner via de to kunstneres laptops ny ”musik”. Jeg sætter med vilje citationstegn omkring det med musikken, da der nok er få der vil betegne dette som egentlig musik. Det betyder ikke at det ikke fungerer. Det bliver på en eller anden måde sært dragende lydlandskaber og fragmenter af tale, lyd og sine steder rent faktisk ”egentlig” musik.   Albummet indeholder 10 numre og af disse er det især ”Pierrot Declining”, ”Version 8” og ”Serienummer” der skiller sig ud og efterlader sig spor. Specielt sidstnævnte, som er en optagelse af den nyligt afdøde tyske litterat Herbert Zeichner der reciterer en Hall tekst henover et malerisk lydtapet. Tone og Halls performance blev oprindeligt ledsaget af et visuelt bagtæppe af Kristian Ravn-Ellestad som man af gode grunde må undvære på denne optagelse, men det gør faktisk ikke så meget. Performing Apart er som skræddersyet til at lytteren ifører sig hovedtelefoner, lukker øjnene og folder ørerne ud. Lader man sig som lytter forføre så opstår den visuelle del helt af sig selv på nethinden mens man med disse lydcollager sendes på dragende ekspeditioner ind i såvel tonerne som sig selv.   BESØG MARTIN HALL HER BESØG TONE HER   Peter Krogh Lydtapet - Dansk musikside - rock, pop, indie, electronica, metal, hip hop, singer/songwriter mm Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:33:22 +0100 http://highlydazed.com/2012/02/soulland-aw12/ The very (in a good way) hyped Silas Adler, who is the designer and maker of soulland, always has this sharp sensation for how to mix classic male style with funky prints, forms and colors. Last collection the most notable print was light pink roses, this winther it was sort of light green pictures of random things (havent had the chance to look up close). But like last time the print is my favorite part of this show, and it wasnt a disapointment this time. I loved the classic straight cut male shirt, with this variegated twist. Its very 80′s and very much a shirts that I could find in my old hippie dad’s closet, but I definately wouldnt mind my boyfriend wearing it. What I also loved about this show was the shoes, very clean cut mens shoes, I just wish they where made in a size 37, just the kind of shoes im looking for! with a full house in the beautiful Copenhagen city hall and some very inspiring male clothing, I think the was one of the most inpiring shows of the fashion week.

The way the paramedics created mess on Lahore?s Jail Road a couple of days back depicts the level of our inhumanity. Due to hours of the wheel jam, a heart patient lady breathed her last in an ambulance. Hell with the protestors and the government which forced them to come on roads. If we still believe on the saying of Allah Almighty that ?Murder of one human being is tantamount to the murder of whole humanity?, it must be a matter of shame for us. Believe me, the murderous demonstration of the paramedics might not have moved even an eyebrow of the authorities who were supposed to cater their demands, but it set the eyes of the deceased lady?s family on flow. It is not the way at all. To me and to every sane human, the worst form of protest is to black roads. When you are halting traffic flow, you never know how much mental stress you are creating among the travellers and how important time of the nation you are wasting. Lifting voice for rights is a characteristic of every democratic society but there are some norms which are supposed to be followed by doing this. By getting panic and harming others, you cannot solve problems. History is evident of the fact anger and aggression have always played havoc with humanity. If war can be a solution, then there would not have been any problem in the world as more than 50, 000 wars have been fought so far since the inception of this planet. A peaceful mind always thinks well. Instead of burning tyres and blocking roads, you can organise a peaceful rally in front of press club, assembly hall, governor house or something like that. It will put more pressure on the government to concede your rights. Always try to fix the fault lines with cool mind. Force must be the last option, but it must not harm innocent people even then. The art of demonstration must acquiesce with the norms of humanity.

The next generation of video game consoles are what every gamer and stakeholder in the Interactive Entertainment Industry is waiting for. Nintendo, in traditional fashion, is the first of the three major platform developers to have announced their next-gen console, the Wii U, while there is plenty of speculation surrounding Microsoft, which is strongly believed to be set to unveil the Xbox 720 at this year?s E3. One company who has remain tight lipped is Sony, who have given very little away about the PlayStation 4, apart from the fact that it is in development. While rumours are rife that the Xbox 720 will have two distinct models with one catering more towards the casual gamer, there is nothing, news wise, on the PS4. However, if one has been paying attention to recent developments at Sony, plenty of conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, the change at the top with the President of the Sony Corporation, Sir Howard Stringer, stepping down from his post may not be as important an indicator as the person set to take his place. Mr. Kaz Hirai is the president of Sony Computer Entertainment, the division of Sony responsible for the PlayStation and its development. This could be a move to bring the PlayStation more into the mainstream as a complete home entertainment solution and there are quite a few factors supporting that. Sir Stringer was noted for saying that Mr. Hirai?s knowledge of cloud technology was one of the reasons he was being promoted. Couple that in with the fact that Mr. Hirai is planning on transforming Sony into a company that provides an experience instead of a product suggests that they very well might be creating a network in order to connect all the various platforms and devices. Need more proof that the PlayStation 4 will be able to do more than just run games? Well, how about the fact that the PlayStation Network is now the Sony Entertainment Network?

Kravene til den indsendte tekst er nøje beskrevet: En Anders And-historie kommer til verden på baggrund af fire trin: plot, synopsis, manus og den færdige historie. Det, du skal levere til konkurrencen, er første og andet trin – nemlig et plot og en synopsis. Kort fortalt er et plot en meget kort beskrivelse af, hvad man ønsker at fortælle. Hvad, hvorfor og hvordan. Plottet beskriver kort ideen og de vigtigste linjer i handlingen uden at gå i detaljer med dialog, bifigurer, navne etc. Synopsis er en længere beskrivelse af historien. Her viser det sig, om historien holder. Om forløsningen af historien hænger sammen med det, forfatteren har lagt ud med. Om historien hører til i Andeby eller lige så godt kunne finde sted i Gotham City eller Springfield. Hvad motiverer hovedpersonen? Hvordan reagerer han/hun? Er det spændende, sjovt, overraskende etc. Synopsen gennemgår handlingsforløbet mere detaljeret, så en redaktør nemt kan se forløbet for sig. Det er her, du virkelig sælger din historie De linker endvidere til et eksempel på tilblivelsen af en andehistorie, som det er værd at kigge nærmere på, inden man kaster sig ud i det. Plot og synopsis må til sammen højst fylde 2 A4-sider (ca. 5000 tegn med mellemrum) og skal sendes som ren tekst i en mail til and@pol.dk senest den 1. marts kl. 12:00. Udover udgivelse præmieres førstepladsen med 13 Hall og Fame-bøger og de nærmeste forfølgere med et årsabonnement til Anders And & Co. læs også: Skrivekonkurrence: Moderne dansk eventyr Skrivekonkurrence: Krimi Skrivekonkurrence: Børnekrimi på to måneder Bjarke Sølverbæk når m?sen ta?r en slapper Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:57:46 +0100 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Newspakistanpk/~3/VGXBu_nBJDI/ Punjab Assembly: New Hall of Shame In what appeared to be a new hall of shame in the Punjab Assembly, where members literally abused each in the worst possible language, and the Speaker was erasing the vituperations. Following a 20-minute of abusing session, the Speaker of the House left with no option but to suspend the proceedings for 15 minutes to reinstate some sanity to the assemblage. In quite a stupid move, the members stuck to their egotist stances, picking the fight from where they left it after the sanity break. They even justified their speeches they had uttered against each other. To make the mater worse, the hue and cry involved Rana Sanaullah, provincial minister for law and parliamentary affairs, who was also leader of the House thanks to the absence of Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif. Pakistan People?s Party?s Shaukat Basra while speaking on point of order flayed severe criticism to the chief minister for failing to check quality of medicines that have claimed over hundred lives. He observed, ?Even road accidents in the province did not kill as many people in the last one year as dengue and the spurious drugs did. These deaths have earned the chief minister notoriety of Qatal-i-Aala (chief murderer) instead of Khadam-i-Aala (chief servant), as he likes to be called.? The term touched raw nerves of Rana Sanaullah who stood up to relax his rulers, saying the chief murderer (Qatal-i-Aala) was the same person who had approved $15,000 (Rs1.3 million) for the foreign treatment of his (Basra`s) son. Rana while losing his temperament observed, ?One who gives money to save life should not be tagged chief murderer. Only a shameless person like Shaukat Basra can make such claims.? Despite interference from the Speaker, the provincial law minister in the next move fired another volley of unprintable abuses on Basra who stood up to respond in same way and the entire house went down into an offensive disorder. By justifying their own choices of words, the two parties demanded the other to draw back their remarks. Later, the opposition boycotted the proceedings after the two parties refused to withdraw the abuses unconditionally. Finally, a meeting of the two parties decided that the Chair would decide who firstly stooped below the moral standard after watching the video clips in the next session. Without any doubt, it was a new hall of shame for politicians who are sitting in the house on tax payers? money.

Det er ofte en lille plads der skal rumme rigtig mange ting, boligens første indtryk og en hel del opbevaring af overtøj og sko. Jeg har fundet nogle eksempler på entréer man har valgt at male sorte og jeg synes faktisk at det fungere rigtig godt. Man kunne også overveje en sort med lidt spil i, ligesom Tine gjorde med sin “sorte” væg derhjemme. Den markante farve indrammer entréen og skaber et rum hvor der måske ikke rigtig var et rum i forvejen. Jeg synes også at det giver en stilhed som et masseopbevaringssted tit mangler. // (source) (source) (source) A hallway is a room that often is difficult to arrange. It tends to be a small space that must accommodate many things, first impression of the home and a lot of storage of overcoats and shoes. I found some examples of entrance halls that have been painted in black and I think that it works really well. You could also consider a black with a little colour, just like Tine did with her ??”black” wall at home. The strong color frames the entrance and creates a room where there may not really have been a room in before. I also think the colour creates a calmness that mass storage places often are missing.

US officials According to US officials Al-Qaida?s senior operations organizer, Aslam Awan, a Pakistani national from Abbottabad was targeted and killed in one of two US drone strikes last week in Pakistan. Awan was from the same town where US Special Forces killed Osama bin Ladin on May 02, 2011. According to the sources, Awan was targeted in a strike by a US-operated drone on January 10 directed at what news reports said was a compound near the town of Miranshah in the border province of North Waziristan. ?Aslam Awan was a senior al Qaeda external operations planner who was working on attacks against the West. His death reduces al-Qaeda?s thinning bench of another operative devoted to plotting the death of innocent civilians,? a US official said. That strike broke an undeclared eight-week hiatus in attacks by the armed, unmanned drones that patrol Pakistan?s tribal areas and are a key weapon in US President Barack Obama?s counter-terrorism strategy. The sources described Awan, who also was known by the nom-de-guerre Abdullah Khorasani, as a significant figure in the remaining core leadership of al Qaeda, which US officials say has been sharply reduced by the drone campaign. Most of the drone attacks are conducted as part of a clandestine CIA operation. Meanwhile, officials denied reports that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud was targeted in the drone strikes. Pakistani officials also rejected news of his death in the said drone strikes. Mehsud, leader of one of the most potent Pakistan based Taliban groups, was reportedly killed in a June 12 drone strike.  Ammar Ahmad NewsPakistan.pk Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:55:48 +0100 http://silentgirl.dk/?p=341 Sophie Mercer er en heks og til skole ballet laver hun en trylleformular som slår fejl.

Jeg så havde læst Hex Hall inde på jeg ved ikke lige hvad det var som fangede mig. Om det var navnet på bogen eller omslaget men noget fangede mig. Skrev lidt med hende om bogen. Og så gik jeg på jagt efter den på nettet. Det viste sig at har den til 60 kr. Men skrev til dem om de ikke havde den i Horsens. Det havde de ikke, men var derinde og den ville komme sidst på ugen. Da jeg så hentede den skyndte jeg hjem og startede på den. Men fortrød hurtig at jeg ikke havde købt bog 2 med så dagen efter var jeg inde efter bog 2. Jeg undskylder meget at jeg ikke er så god til det der bogandmeldelse noget. Er ikke god til at skrive om en bog uden jeg går amok med at skrive. Og grammetikken også sutter røv, men sådan er det.

Det har indbragt universitetet en fjerdeplads (p.t.) på ranglisten over alle verdens universiteter ? så noget må de jo gøre rigtigt (selvom ranglisten ganske vist har det med at favorisere universiteter i den engelsktalende verden). Jeg er for et stykke tid siden blevet spurgt, om jeg vil skrive lidt om undervisningssystemet på Oxford Universitet. Det er vist på høje tid at jeg får gjort noget ved det. Der er mange pudsigheder, som skyldes universitetets 900-årige historie og nok ikke længere har nogen særlig praktisk nytteværdi, men der er også mange ting, som jeg tror andre universiteter kunne lære meget af. Universitetet består mestendels af alt i alt 44 colleges, som er selvejende institutioner der på mange måder fungerer som en slags uafhængige mini-universiteter. Mange colleges har hjemme i enorme bygningskomplekser, som er bygget helt tilbage i middelalderen. For eksempel New College, et af de mest imponerende ? etableret i 1379! Nogle colleges er nyere end New, altså f.eks. oprettet inden for de seneste par århundreder. Hvert college har sin egen lærerstab, der normalt dækker stort set alle fagområder ? og derudover sit eget bibliotek, egen kantine, egen ro-klub (det er jo Oxford!) osv., og selvfølgelig ikke mindst egne beboelsesbygninger til de studerende. Mit eget college, Wycliffe, er dog lidt uden for nummer, idet man i princippet kun kan læse ét studium der, nemlig teologi (til gengæld kan man læse en forvirrende masse forskellige akademiske grader i teologi: BA, BTh, CTh, MTh, DTPS, CTPS, CTG, DPhil og sikkert nogle flere som jeg har glemt). Så den “normale” oplevelse af at gå på Oxford Universitet ser jeg mest fra sidelinjen ? af to grunde: For det første fordi alle mine studiekammerater på mit college læser det samme fag som mig. For det andet fordi jeg er postgraduate ? jeg har allerede en bachelorgrad i det fag jeg studerer. Det betyder at der ikke rigtig er nogen (andre end mig selv), der holder øje med, hvad jeg går og laver ? jeg er jo voksen nok til at klare mig selv. For de yngre studerende, undergraduates, er sagen en anden. Deres undervisning består hovedsagelig i to elementer. Det første og vigtigste er tutorials, hvor en enkelt studerende (eller 2-3 stykker) mødes med sin underviser cirka en gang om ugen og diskuterer det essay, som den studerende har skrevet på den seneste uges tid. På den måde holdes de studerende til ilden, og man fremmer selvstændigt arbejde, samtidig med at man også tager grundigt hånd om dem og sørger for at ingen går bag af dansen. Det andet og knap så vigtige element er forelæsninger, som det er frivilligt at møde op til. Forelæsningerne arrangeres på tværs af hele universitetet (altså ikke på college-plan), typisk med tilknytning til et af universitetets fakulteter ? som er en parallel struktur der fungerer sideløbende med collegestrukturen. Selv er jeg altså f.eks. tilknyttet tre forskellige institutioner på samme tid: Wycliffe Hall, Faculty of Theology og selvfølgelig også University of Oxford som sådan. Det betyder i praksis f.eks. at jeg jævnligt benytter tre forskellige biblioteker: mit collegebibliotek, mit fakultetsbibliotek og universitetets fælles bibliotek, det enorme Bodleian Library. Hvis jeg f.eks. havde læst på Brasenose College (endnu et af mine favoritcollegenavne), så ville jeg være tilknyttet samme fakultet men et andet college, eller hvis jeg havde læst f.eks. historie ville jeg i stedet være tilknyttet Faculty of History ? jeg tror du forstår det nu. À propos fantastiske collegenavne så er der jo også Jesus College ? som virkelig giver anledning til at englænderne kan demonstrere deres berømte vid. Det er f.eks. ærgerligt, hvis man har søgt ind på universitetet og er blevet afvist af Jesus. Til gengæld er det godt at kunne sige “I have a friend in Jesus”. Men hvordan kan et universitet dog fungere så urationaliseret i små enheder og helt gå glip af de stordriftsfordele som Aarhus Universitet så ivrigt efterstræber, spørger du nok med undren i stemmen. En del af forklaringen er selvfølgelig nok, at universitetet formår at rekruttere de dygtigste og mest selvstændige studerende. Mere gennemsnitlige studerende ville formentlig ikke kunne overskue at researche og skrive et nyt essay hver uge ? og gøre det bedre hver gang. Hvis noget lignende skulle kunne lade sig gøre i Danmark, ville vi nok være nødt til at give lidt køb på den højt skattede lighed og i stedet oprette en slags eliteuniversitet. På den anden side, der tales jo også meget om, at vi skal leve af at være de dygtigste i verden til teknologi og diverse andre ting ? og det kan nok næppe lade sig gøre at satse 100% på lighed og elite samtidig. Sat på spidsen: middelmådighed kan aldrig føre til verdensklasse. En anden del af forklaringen på universitetets succes tror jeg faktisk ligger i netop de små enheder. Colleges spiller ikke mindst en stor rolle i det at skabe et trygt studiemiljø, hvor de studerende både bliver støttet og udfordret. De studerende er meget loyale over for deres colleges. Hvis man spørger en person, om hun er studerende, svarer hun formentlig “Ja, jeg går på XX college,” snarere end “Ja, jeg læser YY”. Ja, nu udviklede det her sig måske alligevel lidt til endnu en lidt politisk tilkendegivelse om, hvordan jeg mener tingene burde være skruet sammen hjemme i Danmark. Det er ikke alt der er fantastisk i England eller i Oxford, men jeg tror faktisk vi har noget at lære her.

Blandt de fremmødte var angel veteran Ron Conway, der fra start har udvist stor utilfredshed med SOPA-tiltaget. Det lykkedes mig at skyde en lille video af Rons tale – beklager jeg ikke fik hele talen med. Også San Franciscos innovationsdirektør Jay Nath var mødt op for at læse en hilsen op fra borgmester Ed Lee. Blandt de øvrige fremmødte var også en anden veteran. Manden der ses på billedet herunder fortalte mig, at han ofte deltog i demonstrationer, når kan kunne komme til det. Det havde dog været lidt svært for ham de senere år, da han stadig arbejdede med genoptræning efter at være blevet skudt hele otte gange de sidste par år i Oakland. Ja ja – når selv molestrerede skudofte melder sig på banen må man sige at bevægelsen har fået momentum.   Her er et par ekstra billeder fra det lille optrin Tweet This!

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:41:00 +0100 http://www.crystalnett.com/labradorite-gemstone-information I have a question. My Mom brought me back a beautiful Labradorite pendant from Newfoundland Canada. I put it on and laid down for a nap. Well… I had a very bizarre and vivid dream. Does Labradorite do this?? Thanks.   Cathy, I have found that the addition of a new crystal/stone to the (ever growing) collection frequently affects my dreams, especially if I am very drawn to the stone. Of Labradorite, Melody writes (among other things): “It is known as the matriarch of the subconcious mind, providing constructive sessions to the user concerning the implementation of inner messages and the utilization of same in the physical domain.” You might consider writing down everything you remember about your dream before it begins to slip away. There may be an interesting message or two in it…   I just read Labradorite should not be cleansed by salt and I did it already. Soaked it in salt water for 3 days. It doesn’t look harmed in any way BUT could someone tell me what the harms could be? What would happen to it and would it affect it’s energy properties? thanks.   I once I had read something about labradorite having a property for helping with magic.. What I’d like to know is what source could that have come from? I can not find anything relating to labradorite and it’s connection to magic. The only thing to seem to come close to that sort of connection is helping one with esoteric knowledge according to “The Crystal Bible” It also has a connection to the stars according to said book as well as “Love is in the Earth“. Anyhow, any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks,   I saw something on that a while back, but can’t find it now. If I do I’ll come back to post. I recently purchased a selenite wand with a black merlinite, white merlinite and a labradorite wired to it. When I wear it my intuition seems to be fine-tuned.   Labradorite – brings recognition of destiny, connects one with the elements. [6th & 7th chakra] I also read a very interesting article about crystals & their use in daily life & magic..   Hi Lynn, This is excerpted from The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian (page 217-218): Labradorite “Robert Simmons – Labradorite is the gemstone of magic, and it awakens in those who carry or wear it the awareness of one’s innate magical powers. The term “magic” refers to the mental and intuitive abilities which include but are not limited to clairvoyance, telepathy, astral travel, prophecy, psychic reading, access to Akashic records, past-life recall, communication with higher guides and spirits and coincidence control. “Coincidence control” is the practice of increasing the observed degree of synchronicity and serendipity in one’s life. Labradorite is a stone ideally suited to facilitating the enhancement of these abilities. It is an interdimensional stone, emanating an energy which helps one to consciously pierce the veil between our waking world and the many domains and planes of inner awareness. It is a gemstone of adventure, for it offers one the chance to embark upon a multitude of voyages of self discovery. It is said that a tyrant wants power over others and a true magician desires power only over himself or herself. In wearing or working with Labradorite, one disconnects from any tendencies to attempt to control others, while one bonds deeply with the knowledge that self-mastery is the path of true fulfillment….” “Naisha Ahsian – Labradorite is a powerful Wind element stone used for magic and divination. It activates the inner eye, allowing one to more clearly envision the past, future and distant places. Despite its dark outer appearance, it holds a rainbow of brilliant hues visible only when the stone is held in the light. This effect mirrors the energy of this ally, which enables one to move through the unseen realms while purifying one’s energies in the Light. Labradorite is a stone of strength and the unity behind apparent duality. It can help one see and understand that apparent polarities are, in fact, a single continuum of energy that expresses itself in extremes. It assists one in recognizing the interconnectedness of all apparent duality and the unity of creation that underlies paradox. Labradorite acts as an ally for those who desire to enter the void to gain information and knowledge of the unseen aspects of life. For shamans, magicians and other “source-erers” it is a protective and powerful stone that aids in recalling experiences one has had in other realms, other times, and other lives. It can assist one in moving into alternate levels of consciousness and vibration, helping one to consciously “move between the worlds.” Labradorite creates a force field throughout the aura, protecting and strengthening the energies within and preventing others from “tapping in” to your personal energy and draining you. It can be used to make certain that all the elemental forces are empowered and in proportions within one’s energy system. Labradorite is an important aid when one works with elemental allies, as it assists one in invoking these powerful natural energies. The subtle workings of our inner selves and higher guides are often termed “magic” in our culture. The wonderful synchronicities and opportunities that arise when we are in harmony with all our aspects create a sense of mystery and wonder and build a resonance between our mundane and spiritual aspects, enabling our total energy to work in harmony with our Divine purpose. When we are in line with our Divine purpose, our destiny unfolds before us. Labradorite energy aids one in penetrating the veils of the Void, where all knowledge and possibility are held. The Void is the place of all potential and is the source of all creation. Labradorite aids the Light worker in accessing this place of potential, and bringing into this realm the creations which are for the highest good of all beings.” Hope that Helps!   I hope this helps. I myself use Labradorite and enjoy working with the stone very much — I find it not only aids your magical/psychic abilities but also bolsters your confidence in using them. Also, I can wholly recommend the book above; it’s very thorough and informative.   I have suddenly become drawn to this gem. I have always had it in one form or another, but now it’s standing out to me. Does anyone have any experiences to share about labradorite?   I love Labradorite, although initially I wasn’t attracted to it. Now the minute I pick it up I get strong rushes of energy shooting through my body. When I hold it in sunlight and look at its luminescence and colour it seems to resonate with something deep inside. I have found it very good for disolving negativity and clearing the chakras. I always feel better after a session with this stone. Hope you have some lovely experiences with it.   Labradorite & Moldavite I haven’t worked with labradorite, but i have been working with moldavite which I’ve heard is a close pairing to labradorite and I feel the same way about moldavite, after maybe an hour or so with the stone I feel cleared and strengthened, both are very transformative stones, can’t wait to see what happens with it in the future, also with moldavite there are rushes of energy and sometimes the sensation of pulling up out of the body.   Well I’m the keeper of a couple of labradorite stones and they magnetize me to keep them close to me but as yet I haven’t had any energy from them as such. They are always around me but nothing has happened! I read that it helps with emotional hooks from other people and helps break down bonds that are not healthy anymore, I think that when i wear them i find their presence grounding and comforting. Watching them glisten makes them one of my favourite stones. I notice that looking into its depths helps freshen the atmosphere around me.   Sunstone combined with Jet & Mother of Pearl is a great remover of emotional and mental hooks.   I’ve had it on as a bracelet and I keep it on all the time… I’ve always heard jet becomes part of the body of the wearer and it really does… just can’t take it off… when it falls off then it’s time to work with something new, but not yet. Also I was reading that jet helps you to decide what path or new option to take in regards to relationships which is interesting when combined with sunstone, considering the sunstone removes the old hooks… and the mother of pearl fills all the holes of unfilled emotional needs.   Thanks, I suppose the labradorite also feels so familiar to me maybe like its part of the body but i do take it off although I always put it back on frequently. Very interesting, Jet is marvellous. I tried it the other month. It really felt great. healing crystals TOP Healing Crystals and Stones - Daily Deals and Discounts Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:55:35 +0100
