I am full of hope and gratitude that you are here, now, about to embark down the rainbow path with me.

You being here is certainly no coincidence, as I’m sure these things have been whispering to your heart for some time. This path we will be traveling together is a beautiful one, filled with mystical dimensions and magical possibilities, yet these potentials will only be fully realized if you.

Cultivate openness and diligence to the path.

I start the course on this note because what you are about to be exposed to is much more than just information or knowledge. It is the map to your deepest life. It is a practical way to approach the Divine and unlock your capacity to experience the union that exists right now within all things.

All the power that lies within this course originates from the Source and this Source is your origin, which means that the power of this course lives within you.

Stones Along the Rainbow Path is designed to help you not only gain knowledge but to give you a LIVING experience of what this information is trying to point to your True Self, your Divine Connection.

In order for this material to manifest from knowledge into Wisdom, you must be willing to engage and work with the practices provided. I can honestly say with full conviction that if you apply yourself to this material, you will experience wonderful results, but it will ask something of you.

It will require time, focus, effort, and a willingness to persevere. By that, I mean being willing to stick with it, even if it brings up uncomfortable feelings or undesirable realizations.

You can take comfort in knowing that these unwanted elements are often the most potent aspects of true alchemy.

I want you to know that you are not alone on this walk. You are equipped with the power capable of transmuting all challenges into Love, and this ability is released by your willingness to continue walking down this path.

I also want you to know that I am here for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me and I will do my very best to help provide more clarity. shellsgemsanddreams@gmail.com

There isn’t a single step down this path you are about to walk that I have not traversed. Now, I am not claiming to have mastered the path, only that I have been there. This means you can rest assured you are not alone and you can get through it.

I have been on this journey for most of my life.

Since I was a child, I loved nature and spent every moment I could outdoors in touch with the soul of everything. I always felt that there was so much more than what we could see. There was always an underlying pull in me to seek it out.

I spent my teenage years in depression and darkness as I was very sensitive and empathic. I could feel the falseness of the world strongly back then, but with no guidance or faith to help me, I fell into dark places.

I became a Christian in my early adulthood and that set me on a more positive path. But it wasn’t long before I could sense there was still so much missing or misunderstood. Just as I had always felt, I realized that divinity could not be contained and that it resided in nature every bit as much as any church or temple.

At some point in my early 20s, I became an herbalist and learned about the spirits of plants. I always believed in magic, and the magic of the natural world was opening to me in new ways through plants. Around that same time, I started avidly collecting stones and crystals. I had always innocently picked up stones as a child, but now there was a renewed excitement.

I started to notice subtle changes in my energy field and in my life when I was around or looking at the stones and crystals I had collected.

The spirit of Labradorite came to me in a dream and this began my metaphysical journey with minerals. I became very curious about this energy and how I might develop and channel this exchange. I have now been consciously traveling down this path for well over a decade.

A while later I felt a new calling, and I became a Reiki and Johrei practitioner. This opened yet another realm as there was now a modality for sensing subtle energy in the human aura.

As I learned and began working on other people, my conviction of the reality and power of energy work deepened. To share with clients the experiences I have during a session with them, and then to have them confirm what I felt is an honor and blessing to us both. Even after all these years it still amazes me.

About the same time, I was learning about energy work, I became completely absorbed with the chakra system. This leads me to my beloved teacher, Anodea Judith. As I read her book Wheels of Life, I knew I was on the right path for going even deeper into the realm of Subtle Energy. Much of what I will share about chakras comes from her deep research and Wisdom.

Putting this course together reminded me just how important awareness is and how vital it is to have guidance. So many beautiful souls have influenced and expanded my awareness, and my hope is that I may bring some of this inspiration into your life through this course.
