Papagoite is a rare cyclosilicate mineral.

Chemically, it is a calcium copper aluminium silicate hydroxide, found as a secondary mineral on slip surfaces and in altered granodiorite veins, either in massive form or as microscopic crystals that may form spherical aggregates.

Its chemical formula is CaCuAlSi2O6(OH)3.

It was discovered in 1960 in Ajo, Arizona, USA, and was named after the Sand Papago peoples (now named Hia C-ed O'odham) that inhabit the area. This location is the only papagoite source within the United States, while worldwide it is also found in South Africa and Namibia. It is associated with aurichalcite, shattuckite, ajoite and baryte in Arizona, and with quartz, native copper and ajoite in South Africa. Its bright blue color is the mineral's most notable characteristic.

Papagoite is said to bring optimism. Historically it has been used to bring peace and purity. It helps one speak with clarity. It is also used for thought projection. In meditation, it can help bring one to a euphoric state of oneness. It is associated primarily with the third eye chakra, but also aligns all the chakras.

Papagoite is one of the rarest crystals there is, no more deposits are known.

Papagoite came from the same place as Ajoite, the Messina mine in South Africa.

Papagoite has an intense blue colour and is a copper based mineral that occurs as a phantom inside Quartz. Just writing about it I feel an intense heat. Meditating with this stone is one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. As I sat with Papgoite crystal, I felt a complete Oneness with all of creation. I felt the Presence of the Elohim, the builders of form. I felt the silence and bliss behind all of matter, an amazing crystal.

The Papgoite energy opens to the highest light, right up into the Ain Soph. Complete union with All That Is floods ones being and it takes a while to adjust the to this vibration. In a healing session place above the head pointing up towards the Eighth and Ninth chakras, travel up into the vastness behind form and encounter the Elohim. *Text by Mike Eastwood*

Reiki

During your sessions you will be in tune with universal energy and you only become better attuned. Think about what is going on in your life and you will discover a lovely new attitude developing. You will begin to feel incredibly positive and healthy. Keep a record of this, record your thoughts and feelings in a diary. You will refer to these later.

Keep in mind: the more Reiki you do, the more the Reiki energy will flow through you.

Self-Healing and Reiki

Self-treatment isn’t very difficult. As you develop your personal Reiki self-healing program, you might try various techniques to figure out the one that feels best for you. There is more than one way to perform reiki.

You could possibly do a comprehensive treatment using most of the hand positions or you could use the Byosen scanning method and treat only those areas you are guided to.

Preparing for Self-Treatment in Reiki

In preperation of givingPrior to giving} yourself self-healing, you should always make sure you are comfortable. Eliminate any external noise or distracions. Some people like to give themselves healing while they are soaking in the bath or before going to sleep.

Should you give yourself a treatment before going to sleep, sometimes you might succumb to slumber before getting through all the positions. Don’t worry if that happens for at least you will sleep well! Before doing Reiki it is often adviseable to set an intention. Some people put their hands together in the prayer or ‘Ghasso’ position before they ask for Reiki to flow for the good of themselves or others.

How to Give Yourself Self Healing in Reiki

* After you set your intention, place your hands on your crown chakra and imagine yourself connecting with the universal energy.
* Feel the energy travelling through the palms of your hands and entering your crown chakra. * Feel the energy flow through your body.
* Focus on your palms and imagine the energy entering them from above and pouring out of them into your body. Remain in this position for 3-5 minutes.
* Continue your self-treatment by holding your hands for 3-5 minutes in the following positions:

Over your eyes at your Third Eye chakra. Over your ears. Now your throat chakra, your heart Chakra, your Solar Plexus, your Sacral Chakra and your Root Chakra.

Regular Self Treatment helps balance your emotional, spiritual and physical energies.
