For me the most noticable change is when I breathe from the base up, I feel the 'bring it on' mentality tenfold stronger than before. Also, since today I came in the possession of an amethyst dragon statuette that looks bloody awesome, a chaorite pendant, which is colered black and purple in the exact hues I saw in the pillar I described at the exchanges, and a heart shaped piece of malachite where one side is very light green and the other very dark green. The statuette helps in meditation, the pendant in strengthened resolve. The malachite gives a strong feeling of connection and communication. I was definitely led to all of these.
