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.

When Peridot is places over the solar plexus, nervous emotional tension (butterflies) is released and relaxed. It helps us shed 'old baggage', burdens and guilt or obsessions. Peridot teaches us that holding on to people, or the past, is counterproductive. It shows us how to detach ourselves from outside influences and look to our own higher energies for guidance.

This visionary crystal helps us to understand our destiny and spiritual purpose. It is particularly helpful to healers.  It also helps to balance the endocrine system, especially the adrenal glands, which govern the health of the physical body and are directly associated with the chakras. Peridot acts as a tonic to enliven and vamp up the entire system, making it stronger, healthier and more radiant.

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.

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.
