ENERGETIC SUPPORT Amethyst is a powerful stone for spiritual protection, expansion and purification. It is an aid to meditation and can help to still one's thoughts. It can help curb overindulgence and assist one to give up unhealthy habits. It balances the nervous system and the brain. Amethyst builds a cocoon of light around one's aura or presence, creating a powerful resonant field that helps one remain clear and centered in the midst of negativity, while staying open to spiritual direction and intuitive information.  Rhodonite aids in perceiving where one’s talents lie, and in using those talents for the highest good of all. It is a stone of learning and development—encouraging one to expand or perfect one’s skills so those skills can be employed to help others. Rhodonite carries the energy of cooperative community. It speaks to us of our responsibility to use our skills to assist in the spiritual birth of the Earth and each other in these times of transformation. Rhodonite is truly a stone of power. Power is simply the ability to recognize where one can utilize one’s energy or talents to effect change on the Earth plane. Rhodonite supports one in perceiving one’s gifts and in utilizing those gifts to effect that change. On a physical level, Rhodonite strengthens the tissues, organs and glands. It supports the flow of chi through the meridians of the body and helps direct that vital force to the endocrine system, which in turn supports one’s energy and vitality. It is particularly effective in supporting the liver through the detoxification process. It can be helpful in stimulating the metabolism and in supporting one’s expression of energy through exercise or physical activity. Black Obsidian’s energy is that of protection. Its frequency seals the auric field and removes energetic attachments, hooks and cords. Black Obsidian’s energy creates a protective shield that helps one remain centered when faced with negativity. Black Obsidian’s protective energy also extends to the level of the mind, illuminating negative thoughts and mental habits so action can be taken to clear their root causes. It allows one to perceive where one is creating negativity in one’s own life and guides one to change the underlying patterns that create a negative reality. Black Obsidian helps uncover unconscious thoughts and patterns that inhibit one’s spiritual and personal growth. These patterns can contribute to addiction, abusive behavior (toward oneself or others), negativity, scarcity and other undesirable traits. Black Obsidian gently yet firmly points out where one holds these patterns and assists in clearing them from the aura and cellular memory. Jade is prized for it‰۪s healing and protective qualities.

Helps heal scarcity-mindedness, fear of money and poverty and other symptoms of belief in money as a measure of worth.
