Moldavite crystal

Long story about my Moldavite crystal

This happened 9 years ago, but I thought I’d share it here in case anyone else has had a similar experience.

During one of the lowest periods of my life, when it felt like all my problems happened at once, I was extremely sad, constantly overthinking, and felt very anxious. I don’t know if this is common among people who collect crystals and stones.

I’ve always found crystals beautiful—things like clear quartz, aquamarine, etc. I even felt like I had “crystal sensitivity” because whenever I got close to certain crystals, I would feel dizzy. Apparently, there’s something people call crystal sensitivity, and I used to buy authentic crystals and stones from 5D Healing Crystals. I used to collect them.

Since I didn’t really want to get out of bed because I was so down, I came across some posts from foreigners who said they had used Moldavite, a type of tektite. I became curious because they said it helped them. A lot of the comments from people who had used it said that their lives somehow turned around for the better.

People say Moldavite can speed up spiritual growth, awaken higher consciousness, and clear blocked energy. Many people use it to break old habits, strengthen their intuition, and connect with cosmic energy.

So I found a seller on Instagram who was selling genuine Moldavite. He was an actual crystal seller, and the Moldavite came from the Czech Republic, where it formed from a meteorite impact. It was already pretty expensive at the time, and it’s even more expensive now. I bought a raw piece and a pair of earrings made from Moldavite.

It was true that when I held it, I felt a warm surge flowing through my hand, and there was definitely a strange sensation. Apparently, that feeling is supposed to go away once you get used to it. So I started manifesting that hopefully all the bad things that had happened to me would finally go away.

And this is where things got weird.

I started having a series of nightmares, and I still don’t know whether they were actually connected to the Moldavite or if it was just a coincidence.

One night, from what I can still remember, it was around 3 a.m. and there was literally this warping sound. In my dream, my bed started spinning, and there was some kind of portal. I was terrified when I woke up and became scared to go back to sleep. For several days, I kept having strange and disturbing dreams.

There was also one time around lunchtime when I wanted to take a nap. Since it was daytime and sunny outside, I remember that in my dream it was also clearly lunchtime. In my bedroom, there was this huge black entity floating in the air, and there were lots of red lights that looked like lasers.

Later, I read that other people had also claimed they became scared after using Moldavite and eventually threw theirs away because they started seeing strange beings. Though for other people, their experiences were completely positive.

Eventually, the nightmares stopped after I put my Moldavite inside a box and kept it far away from my bed. Some people even say you should bury it in the ground.

I’m also apparently someone who tends to experience paranormal things, so I don’t know if that was somehow connected. I definitely don’t want my “third eye” opening because I’m honestly terrified of paranormal stuff. 😂

Anyway, I also think it’s important to mention that I was in a really bad emotional state at the time. I was depressed, overwhelmed, and my mind was all over the place because of everything I was going through. So maybe that had something to do with it. Some people say that when you’re depressed or emotionally vulnerable, you’re more susceptible to negative spirits or energies.

Sorry this was so long! If you actually read everything, thank you! 😂 I’m completely fine now. I’m not the same depressed person I was back then. I’ve gotten through it, and I’m happy and healthy now. I just thought I’d share this little story. 😅

Moldavite crystal

mahabang kwento about moldavite crystal

9 years ago pa to pero naisip ko ishare dito baka meron similar experience yun iba.

During my super down times as in lahat ng problema nagkasabay sabay super sad ako, overthinking at feel ko masyado ako anxious. Hindi ko alam if usual sa mga tao yun nagccollect ng crystals and stones.

nagagandahan ako sa mga crystals, stones like yung clear quartz, aquamarine, etc. I feel like I even have crystal sensitivity dahil pag nalalapit ako sa certain crystals para ako nahihilo. Ang tawag daw don ay crystal sensitivity at sa 5d healing crystals ako nakakabili ng original crystals, stones. Dati nagccollect ako ny mga ganito.

So dahil ayaw ko masyado bumagon sa kama ko at super down ako, may nabasa ako sa mga posts dati ng foreigners na they used Moldavite na tekktite. Nacurious ako since sabi nila na it helped them. parang nagturn around daw life nila for the better—yun comments usually ng mga nakagamit. It speeds up spiritual growth, wakes up higher consciousness, and clears blocked energy. Many people use it to break old habits, feel deep intuition, and link with cosmic energy. 

So nakakita ako ng seller na nagbebenta ng totoong Moldavite sa Instagram. He really sells crystals. Galing pa abroad since sa Czech Republic from a meteorite sya galing. that time medyo mahal na rin sya at now mas mahal lalo. nakabili ako ng raw form at pair of earrings na gawa sa ganon.

totoo nga sabi nila na pag hinawakan mo to may surge na mainit sa kamay na dumadaloy at medyo may maffeel ka na kakaiba. Pero mawawala din daw pag nasanay ka na. So ayun nagmamanifest ako na sana lahat ng nangyari masama is mawala na.

So eto na—dito nagsimula na magkaron ako ng sunod sunod na nightmares na hindi ko alam if dreams talaga na nataon lang. Sa naalala ko pa meron gabi na 3am na meron warping sound literal at yun kama ko umikot. Yun yung feeling sa panaginip ko at meron portal. Takot ako nagising at natakot na ako matulog ulit. basta ilan araw ako nagkakaron bad dreams na kakaiba.

may time na lunch time non at gusto ko magnap. Sakto sa room ko, sa panaginip ko meron malaking black entity lumulutang sa bedroom ko. At maraming red lights na parang laser. Hindi ko alam bakit pero yung sa dream ko na yon same na lunch time kase maaraw pa sa labas.

dun ko nabasa na meron pala din mga tao na nagsabi na natakot sila at tinapon nila yun kanila kas ethey started seeing weird beings daw. Though sa iba positive sya. Anyway, non medyo tumagal tagal nahinto yun dreams ko na masasama kase tinago ko na yun moldavite sa isang box malayo sa bed ko. Sabi nga nila dapat ibaon sa lupa.

lapitin din pala ako ng mga mumu. Kaya ewan ko baka connected yon? Ayaw ko mabuksan 3rd eye ko since takot ako sa mga paranormal.

so ayun lang. gusto ko sabihin na din na I think malaki epekto na hindi ako ok emotionally at magulo utak ko noon sa problems kaya parang nalalapitan ako ng masamang spirits? Sabi kase nila pag depressed ang tao parang mas prone sya sa mga ganon.

sorry ang haba. If binasa mo lahat, thank you! I’m ok naman na. Hindi na ako kamukha ng dati na nadepress. Nakagetover na ako. I’m happy and healthy. Nachica ko lang😅

edit: hindi na ako nagccollect ng crystals. naisip ko na mas ok mas magdasal ako than believe in crystals kahit natural form sila from earth

Journaling every book I read

I enjoy reading all kinds of books. Books deserve to be reread, but so do our own thoughts. I started keeping my reflections inside a handmade accordion journal, and it’s been interesting seeing how certain books stay with me long after I finish them.

I think it’ll be fun to look back on these someday and see how my thoughts have changed over the years.

What genres do you find yourself reaching for the most? Do you also put book reviews on your journals? I have Goodreads but I also write on journals.

Hospital painting

I want to donate a painting for a hospital for the pediatrics ward. It’s my first time to do so. I am an artist and I make paintings even ink and pencil illustrations.

I plan to donate paintings that’s child themed, something bright, cheerful. I just wonder how to protect the painting? If they clean it since it‘s a hospital. If I transfer to a frame with plexiglass won’t it damage the plexiglass, make it cloudy? If I give the painting as is without any protection just the varnish, won’t it get destoryed because they will also wipe it?

I’m confused how to coat my painting to protect from harsh chemicals when they clean it.

I don’t want to use resin since my painting is quite big.

Hi! I’m a beginner building a small creative business (sketchbooks, art prints, possibly workshops in the future).

I’d love advice from people in similar fields:
– How did you grow your customer base early on?
– What platforms or strategies worked best (markets, social media, collaborations, etc.)?
– What would you focus on first if you were starting again?

Thank you!

I have no background in finance or entrepreneurship and would love beginner-friendly recommendations.

I started a small creative business (art/sketchbooks), but I have zero background in business or finance.
What beginner-friendly books would you recommend that explain things clearly without being overwhelming?
