Did you know that the stones can read minds? So it's best if you don't talk behind their backs haha! Speaking of which, I have a fun story to share with you.
I recall that I sought help from one of my stones, but no matter how hard I tried, it just won't respond to me. It was until I said, "if you help me, I will cleanse you afterwards. Please lend me a hand!" To my surprise, the stone actually did get to work after I asked nicely. I was so shocked, so I ranted a little bit on the inside haha! But somehow the stone found out and it went on strike without hesitation. Yes - a STRIKE! I rolled mr eyes so hard, I just couldn't believe it! At the end of the day, however, I did need its help, so I apologised and said a lot of nice things about it to make up for my rant so that it would forgive me and help me out. And of course, I cleansed it right away after its kind assistance.
This story shows us that we have to be kind to our stones, otherwise they can get quite upset with you! It seems like after all, we must nourish our companionship and build harmony with the stones. Or else, we'd find ourselves to be ones with the bad end of sticks!
