Introduction
One night, a few years ago, I had a dream that I was being led down a dimly lighted tunnel with earthen walls. I followed the path and came upon a large open room where the figure of a man stood with his back to me.
As the man turned around and I saw his face, I was stunned. It was Edgar Cayce. Although his eyes were open, he appeared trancelike as he spoke but a single phrase to me: The Maltese Falcon.
I gasped, and that motion alone was enough to startle me out of my deep sleep. I replayed the sequence hundreds of times in my mind over the next few days, wondering what it meant.
I walked to the library first thing the next morning to retrieve a copy of Dashiell Hammett’s classic and began to read. It would take many months for me to finally figure out the significance of the book to my own path, and now the novel is indelibly engrained in my consciousness forever.
Shortly after that, I began having a recurring dream about a beautiful beach I had never been to before. The serenity and beauty of it was unlike any I had ever seen. I grew up in California and North Carolina and wondered where this beach was since it was clearly not those places, nor any I had seen in Florida, or elsewhere in the world.
Within a couple of months, I was at my parent’s house while they were watching a program on television featuring a segment on Virginia Beach.
When I saw the long misty stretches of sand and the beautifully peaceful white buildings, I immediately recognized it as the place I visited in my dream. Still, I had yet to discover what it all meant.
A few years ago, I wrote a book called Gemstone Journeys to teach people about my experiences in gem healing. Each year since then I travel to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show to sign a few books, see friends and purchase minerals.
My annual trip across the desert is like a pilgrimage to me now. It is a time for me to journey alone and reflect on the previous year, while planning the future.
During last year’s trip, I was guided to take along the book Gems and Stones Based on the Edgar Cayce Readings, originally compiled by the A.R.E. in 1960. I somehow knew I was to begin to explore some of the gems and stones Cayce spoke about in the life readings by purchasing and working with them.
That is one of the things I love most about this topic. No matter how many years you live, there is always so much more to learn. The mineral kingdom is so vast; I doubt it is possible to explore it all in just one lifetime. I certainly intend to try.
After my desert journey, I was clearly guided to approach the A.R.E. about updating this material, and it is my great honor to do so.
I have always admired Edgar Cayce’s work, not only because of his immense talents as a psychic, but because of the man himself.
I am inspired by Cayce’s story of hardship and perseverance. No matter what happened he knew what God sent him here to do and did whatever was necessary to live life according to His purpose. For that, Cayce is a hero in my mind.
In these next pages, we will explore one of my favorite topics as it relates to the greatest psychic to ever live—Edgar Cayce.

Fundamentals of Energy Medicine
As is known, the body in action or a live body—emanates from same the vibrations to which it as a body is vibrating, both physical and spiritual. Just as there is an aura when a string of a musical instrument is vibrated—the tone is produced by the vibration. In the body the tone is given off rather in the higher vibration, or the color. Hence this is a condition that exists with each physical body.

I would like to begin by explaining some of the fundamentals of energy or vibrational healing. As you know, everything in the universe is made up of basically the same things—strings of atoms put together in millions of different ways. Ancient Hawaiians believed you are really no different from the chair you are sitting on, meaning everything has consciousness, of some sort. What separates you and me from our kitchen table is the carbon element, which gives us life and soul.
When you are born, you are in essence a perfect creation of the Almighty. You would think, then, since you are created in His image, that you would be able to live a beautiful, peaceful life filled with joy and love, right?
The problem with that scenario is that if you were to have a “perfect life,” you would not have the amazing opportunities to learn and grow, which is why we came here in the first place.
To believe in past lives says that you come here again and again to evolve as a soul and to gain different types of experiences. That is why we are often born with all kinds of blockages or challenges to overcome.
Sometimes these challenges affect our physical body through health issues, or they can arise in emotional traumas.
