TOURMALINE

Tourmaline is one of the most beautiful stones on earth. Its popularity has grown immensely as more and more people are drawn to it. It has the ability to raise the vibration of what ever surrounds it. 
Its geometric design is one of the reasons Tourmaline possesses so much power. The long striated lines channel electrical beams of light which will immediately transform denser vibrations into positive energy currents. Tourmaline is one of the most complete stones here on earth at this time. It has the ability to reflect rays of the colour spectrum: from clear white to the deepest black. It adjusts its vibration to manifest a perfect expression of each colour.
Tourmaline can be used in any area where you want to increase the light force. It is used on alters, over temples and churches, or worn as jewelry. Tourmaline crystals can be placed between the chakras during crystal healing to bridge the energy between one chakra and the next. It is especially effective when used with Rhodochrosite and Malachite at the solar plexus to integrate the upper energy centres with the lower ones.
The highly charged electrical current which moves along Tourmalines striations increases our charisma and radiance if worn or used regularly. Tourmalines energy weaves an intricate fabric of light into the aura: threads of joy, strength, peace and compassion - all interwoven into our nature.
One of the purposes of Tourmaline is to transmit higher virtues and important laws of the universe onto the earth. It can teach us to expand and transform limiting beliefs into a much finer reality.  Tourmaline has a very specific message for us. "Align yourself with the forces of light and channel that radiance onto your world and into your life."
Tourmaline supplies us with a strong protective shield which enables us to grow from within while developing the disciplines needed to extend that light to the external world.
Tourmaline expresses inner and outer balance and freely shares this with us. It builds a bridge where the earth can merge with the heavens and subtle energy bodies can align with the physical. It creates a balance of forces by lowering the frequency of spirit and raising the frequency of denser matter: creating harmonious interbreeding of cosmic and material energies.
Tourmaline is not indigenous to earth, it has been materialised on this planet by higher life forms to assist us in the transition into the Aquarian Age. Tourmaline will build the rainbow bridge which our soul can cross and express its multidimensional forms. 
Natural Tourmaline wands are useful healing tools. They clear the aura, remove blockages, disperse negative energies and point to solutions to specific problems. At a physical level they balance the meridians. 
Tourmaline is beneficial for the garden and plants. acting as a natural pesticide, keeps pests at bay. If buried in the soils it will encourage health and growth of crops.
This crystal is a powerful mental healer, balancing left and right hemispheres of the brain and transmuting negative thoughts into positive ones. It is helpful in treating paranoia, for overcoming dyslexia and improves hand to eye coordination. It balances male-female energy within the body.
In addition to the generic properties, coloured Tourmalines have specific additional properties.... more to follow.

OVERFED AND UNDERNOURISHED

 

Many, if not most, of the foods we eat today are not really food at all. Hydrogenated fats, for example, are recognised by our bodies’ digestive systems to be more like plastic than food. 
The current over-industrialisation and processing of our food has left us the most overfed yet undernourished culture ever to exist. 
Artificial sweeteners can be hundreds of times sweeter than natural sugars and therefore create unprecedented cravings for other sweet treats.
There is convincing evidence that carbonated drinks (both ordinary and diet) may be the largest single dietary contributor to diabetes in children.
Sadly, as we have become removed from the skills of growing and preparing our own food, we have lost sight of what it means to nourish ourselves. 
We would all do much better to stick to a general pattern of cuisine (similar to what our ancestors ate) and only deviate from time to time for special occasions. In other words, eat food your great-grandparents would have eaten and would recognise.
It is always a good idea to eat simply, eat fresh and whenever possible eat local produce.

PERIDOT

Peridot is one of natures most clear and vibrant green colours. Its vibration is not quite as high or intense as some of the other stones in this green spectrum. Malachite and Emerald are also in this colour but the green of those stones blends more with the blue colour ray than that of Peridot. Green- blue crystals direct energy towards the mental, emotional and spiritual levels whilst higher levels of yellow will carry a more 'healing' green into the physical plane. Due to the larger amount of yellow inherent to Peridot, it will directly effect the solar-plexus and navel areas which is ruled by yellow-green energies. Peridot is an earth- plane green which initiates healing within the physical body.


Yellow is also the colour associated with the mind and intellect. Peridot is capable of effecting certain negative emotional states such as jealousy and anger. It can heal and cleanse hurt feelings, bruised egos and even help us to mend relationships.
In ancient times it was believed to ward off evil spirits. It is still a protective stone for the Aura.
HEALING: Peridot has a tonic effect. It heals and regenerates tissues. It strengthens the metabolism and benefits the skin. It aids the heart, thymus, lungs, gallbladder, spleen intestinal tract and strengthens eyes.
When used during childbirth it strengthens muscle contractions but lessens pain. Its energy balances bipolar disorders and overcomes hypochondria.
POSITION: Wear at the throat. Place as appropriate, especially over the liver in contact with the skin.
Note: Crystal should only be used under the guidance of a professional.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..The point of power


THE POINT OF POWER IS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT - RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW.

Louise L Hay

MOONSTONE


Moonstone helps to balance and soothe our emotions. When our emotions hinder our connection to higher planes of reality. As Malachite brings the subconscious to the fore, Moonstone balances, soothes and heals, so that we are not identifying or living in an emotional state. 
Moonstones assist us to master our emotions by bringing them under the control of our higher self instead of repressing or expressing them. Many or our old emotional patterns are stored in our subconscious mind. Moonstone acts like a guardian @ the gateway to the subconscious and thereby serves to protect us from our own emotions. This then allows a greater awareness to unfold. 
Moonstones can be placed at the centre of the chin (the Moon centre) to create this balance.
They are also useful for women around the time of their menstrual cycle, linked to the Pineal gland they assist hormonal and emotional equilibrium, balance the hormonal system. They stabilize fluid imbalances, attune to the biorhythmic clock. Excellent for PMS, conception, pregnancy and childbirth and breast feeding.
Men can use them to become more in tune with their feminine aspects. 
These wonderful stones can be used to calm hyperactive children.
Moonstones are a gift, allowing us to experience calmness and peace of mind. Once this is obtained and becomes part of our nature, the fear of feeling is neutralized and emotional balance is achieved.
Traditionally Moonstones have been used for insomnia and to prevent sleepwalking.
HEALING: Moonstone helps digestive and reproductive systems, assimilates nutrients, eliminate toxins and fluid retention. Also alleviates degenerative conditions of skin, hair, eyes and fleshy organs such as pancreas and liver.
POSITION: Wear as a ring or place on appropriate body part - forehead for spiritual experiences, heart or solar plexus for emotions. However, some women may need to remove Moonstone at full moon.
Please be advised: Crystals should only be used under guidance or supervision of a professional.


HELIOTROPE - BLOODSTONE

The deep earth green and deep blood red in combination give this stone excellent properties. As you might guess by its name Bloodstone is an great cleanser and powerful healer. It purifies the blood and strengthens the blood purifying organs: kidneys, liver and spleen.
It is believed to have mystical and magical properties, controlling weather and conferring the ability to banish evil and negativity and to direct spiritual energies. In the ancient past it was said to have been an 'audible oracle' giving off sounds as a means of guidance. For people who have physically and emotionally purified themselves, Bloodstone can assist in transforming the physical vehicle to carry greater amounts of light and energy.
An excellent grounding and protective stone, keeping out undesirable influences. 
Psychologically it gives courage and teaches us how to avoid dangerous situations, by withdrawal and flexibility. It encourages selflessness and helps us act in the present moment.
Mentally Bloodstone calms the mind, dispels confusion and enhances decision making processes. It can also revitalize the mentally exhausted.
HEALING: An energy cleanser and immune stimulator for acute infections. Stimulates metabolic processes and lymph flow. Reduces the formation of pus and neutralizes over acidification. It can be helpful in cases of Leukemia as it supports the blood and removes toxins.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Man's Greed








EARTH PROVIDES ENOUGH TO SATISFY EVERY MANS NEEDS, BUT NOT EVERY MANS GREED.



AMBER


Amber is not a crystalline form and it cannot really be classified as a stone, it is fossilized pine tree resin that is millions of years old. 
It does not radiate strong healing energies but it does have the power to draw out dis-ease from the body and also promotes tissue revitalization.
Amber can also absorb negative energy and help the body to heal itself. Often after using for such purposes, it will become dull and cloudy. It is important to always cleanse Amber after use to prevent it from distributing negative energies and to ensure its healing potential.
Its golden orange colouring reflects light beautifully. 
By placing Amber over internal organs, the tissues can be revitalized.
Its colour is associated with the sacral/navel chakra and the grounding of energy in the physical body.
Wearing it is beneficial for persons who are easily depressed or have a tendency towards suicide. 
It helps ground higher energies onto the earthly plane to help with stabilizing, healing and balancing.
If treating babies, it is beneficial if the mother wears it for some time beforehand.

RHODOCHROSITE



Rhodochrosite can be representative of compassion and selfless love. It expands consciousness and integrating the spiritual and mental energies, imparting a positive and dynamic attitude. 
This is an excellent stone for relationships and things of the heart, especially for those who feel unloved. 
It is the chosen stone par excellence for healing sexual abuse victims. 
Rhodochrosite helps the heart to assimilate painful feelings without shutting down and removes denial.



This stone is also used to clear the solar plexus and base chakras; gently releasing painful and repressed feelings, allowing them to be acknowledged and dissipated.
Rhodochrosite also helps to identify habitual patterns and shows us the purpose behind them. It helps us see the truth about ourselves and others, without evasion or excuses but with loving awareness.
This crystal improves self worth and soothes emotional stresses; it is mentally enlivening and encourages positive attitudes, enhances dream states and creativity.

Use anywhere along the midline of the body between the navel and the heart chakra to clear and balance the chakras.

Rhodochrosite is especially useful when used directly over the solar plexus point (beneath the sternum) to bridge the upper and lowers triads.

AZURITE



Azurite guides psychic and intuitive development. Its radiant deep indigo blue colour has the ability to move subconscious thoughts into the conscious mind. It motivates higher thinking by bringing deep subconscious thoughts to the surface allowing them to be examined with conscious awareness.
The purity of these crystals cleanse the mind and soul and bring light and truth replacing outdated belief systems. This deep vibrant blue crystal has the ability to move healing energy through all levels of our being: from the physical to the most subtle.
Azurite acts as a catalyst in the initiation of transformation that integrates the earth with the ethers, the physical with the spiritual. This occurs when the subconscious mind is cleansed, enabling the inner light to be infused into thoughts, feelings, words and actions.

Azurite nodules or healing stones can be placed on any area of the body where a blockage or congestion is found. As the Azurite ray penetrates and moves energy, the psychic-emotional reasons for this blockage will surface into the mind. As this happens, assistance may be necessary for example: counselling or meditation to release the root of the blockage.


Azurite treats throat problems, arthritis and joint problems, aligns the spine and works at a cellular level to restore any blockage or damage to the brain.   It also heals kidney, liver and gallbladder problems, and treats the spleen, thyroid, bones, teeth and skin.   It also aids detoxification.
