The Stone

Today’s story for mental health awareness week is entitled The Stone - because we all have mental health.

The Stone

Even from the beginning, when the men had taken the carefully crafted stones with unique dimensions and energy and placed them in the circle, the energy in the stone circle had been magnificent. Each stone supporting the other. Their alignment making best use of each of the stones’ unique qualities. Some provided shelter from the wind and rain, others connected with the sun, moon or planets, and others showed their true spirit only at certain times of year.

Even though each stone had a unique gift, the energy of the circle was greater because of this. This combined energy being available all year round no matter what time of day, night, year or weather.

One day, one of the stones was knocked off balance by a fierce wind. The harder the stone tried to right itself, the more out of balance it became – the ground underneath now being free to move.

The others noticed immediately the effect it had on them.They could feel the drain of the energy from the weakened stone and also the break in the circuit that held them together. They were unable to help the stone and suggested it take a rest.They could see the impatience of the stone; they could feel their own circle jittery with unbalanced energy. Yet they trusted that all was very well and knew that sometimes the circle required time to reflect and renew itself.They knew too that energy wasn’t static – that with the approaching shortest night the stone would be able to connect with an energy outside itself.They knew that as the special energy line crossed through the stone that the stone would be able to move and balance itself – once more allowing the energy in the circle to be connected and even stronger for the time out.

And so it was, as the energy line on the longest day hit the stone it was able to right itself. It was able to find even firmer footing in order that it would never again be knocked by the strong winds.

The stone and circle once more a beacon to all those who felt its presence.
