A cairn is a pile of stones raised as a monument, boundary, or landmark, common in the mountains and fells of the Scottish Highlands and throughout Great Britain. Goldsworthy builds these hoar-stones as journey markers to his travels, leaving a trail. An egg-shaped cairn six feet tall in the valley of Glenleith Fell, Dumfriesshire marks day becoming night -- Goldsworthy began work on it mid-morning of an October day in 1991, stacking the stone throughout the day until dusk and fitting the final stone at sundown. The next evening, he built another cairn in nearby Scaur Glen to mark night becoming day, beginning the job at midnight, working until dawn and finishing at daybreak. He used no mortar or glue, only a knowledge of the stone. Both cairns still stand today.

Try balancing some of your crystals on top of one another! I have been practicing this almost every night. Balancing them feels immaculate! Patience has become a virtue and heals me mentally, emtionally, spiritually, and the environment i'm in.
Just remember to breathe! Have fun!
