It is the name I gave the stones I picked from Salty Brine's Beach (George's Beach) in Galilee, Rhode Island. Picking stones from beach sand as you stroll along in the sun and ocean air is something everyone does, and I have been doing this and bringing them home since I was a little kid. It wasn't until several years ago that I discovered the stones from Galilee were more special than I thought they were. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I had chosen a smooth white stone as a favorite, and when I was holding it at bedtime I was compelled to write. Writing spiritual messages was not new to me as I have been writing for over 30 years. I call my writings, inspirational, or automatic writing. I receive messages from angels, Spirit guides, souls who have passed on, animals, and sometimes I communicate with the Plant Kingdom, especially trees and flowers. Now I have added the Mineral Kingdom to the list of those I communicate with and receive messages from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;So, holding my new stone-friend, I carefully inspected it and noticed it's texture, color, nicks and holes, and other markings, and when I knew in my soul what name suited this precious one, I named it, "Destiny" and began to write the message I know was encoded inside...its Spirit. I now know (for myself) that stones and crystals and all from the Mineral Kingdom are as alive as humans, animals, and plants. They are made from the same "stuff" as everything else on Earth and are in possession of universal intelligence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I proceeded to write in a free-flowing manner and received a lovely inspirational message that was meant for me to read and know. I was so inspired by this new pleasure that I began working with other stones I had brought home with "Destiny." I didn't know exactly what to do with the stones and their messages until about 2-3 years ago. I decided to package each Stone of Galilee in its own organza bag, and included the typed message extracted from them and offered them for sale through my gift shop and web site. This didn't work as the people who came into my shop weren't attracted to them or didn't understand what they were all about. So I began to give them away as gifts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Still writing messages from The Stones of Galilee, I am closer to deciding what to do with them. I feel that people appreciate things more when they have to pay for them. I have and am toying with the idea of writing a book of the messages I receive, yet I am still in possession of the stones, which is fine, but the whole idea was to offer people the stones with message. So I am still not completely clear about what to offer except I decided yesterday I wanted to post some excerpts from The Stones of Galilee I have named and packaged and ready to sell to those who I believe are meant to become their new owner and recipient of the message each stone was meant to deliver. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I am going to write, in no particular order, the first paragraph I have written as the message came to me as I worked with each Stone of Galilee. I am also offering The Stones of Galilee with message for $12.00 throughout the USA. This amount includes S&amp;amp;H and will be shipped UPS COD. Or, you may send me an email requesting the Stone of Galilee you would like and mail a personal check or Money Order for $12.00 to: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Nancy Shewchuk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;PO BOX 146&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Pascoag, RI 02859&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Email: &lt;a href="mailto:22cats-crossing@cox.net"&gt;22cats-crossing@cox.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;If you should decide you would like to receive your Stone of Galilee via UPS and pay for it upon delivery, simply send me an email with your name, shipping address and choice of stone. I will have it sent within 2 days. If you have any questions, leave a comment here or send me an email. If I should decide to write a book of The Stones of Galilee, those that I include here and sell will also be included in the book, as I own all rights and all will be copyrighted by me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Now I will begin to write the first paragraph of each Stone of Galilee I have ready to greet its new owner and companion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4386462649698337142-6605443625242783734?l=thestonesofgalilee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thestonesofgalilee.blogspot.com/feeds/6605443625242783734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thestonesofgalilee.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-are-stones-of-galilee.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4386462649698337142/posts/default/6605443625242783734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4386462649698337142/posts/default/6605443625242783734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thestonesofgalilee.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-are-stones-of-galilee.html' title='What Are The Stones of Galilee?'/><author><name>Nancy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08664054308031387634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p5Y4ysb4ZUw/S6jnaJi2LYI/AAAAAAAAAwI/kHArL9v97Wo/S220/pic-nancy2-100.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9Kg89S6JSzM/Ta8hyXb_iuI/AAAAAAAAA-o/MUtr4pwk2D4/s72-c/cropped%2Bstones.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
