Rock/Crystal MEDICiNE ~ An Ancient Healing Art

I have always enjoyed the beauty and power of crystals/stones/gems. Today in Hilarion's message he mentioned that selenite is good for clearing and centering. I often use crystals in healings. When my Father passed, I gave a Rose Quartz to my Mother. I told her to put it under her pillow. She gave me one of her patronizing looks but did sleep with it under her pillow. The next morning she told me she slept well and that her heart opened and she forgave my Father for all the "things" he put her through during their marriage. She attributed it to the Rose Quartz. She slept with it for months before putting it in her purse to keep with her.

Here are some suggestions for other crystals you may choose to use. Nature is awesome! The explanations are short. If interested, do your own research. It is a fascinating subject. Our Creator provided everything we ever needed.

Apache Tears

The Legend of the Apache Tear is this:

One day a party of Apache Indians was ambushed by an enemy tribe. The Apaches fought bravely but were greatly outnumbered and driven to the top of a high bluff. Their arrows gone and unable to fight and unwilling to be taken captive, they leapt from the cliffs to their death. Their women were understandably grief-stricken and wept over the bodies. Their teardrops froze when they hit the ground to become the lovely stones we know today as Apache Tears. It is said that whomever owns one of these stones will never cry again, for the Apache women shed enough tears already.

Apache Tears are said to especially relieve grief and sadness as well as assisting in giving and accepting forgiveness. They can help release negative emotions, and they also can balance one’s emotional state. They are good luck stones, said to bring good luck to anyone who has one. They are excellent meditation tools, especially for clarifying issues and gaining insight. Apache Tears are a gently grounding stone. In the physical realm, Apache Tears are reputed to alleviate muscle spasms and eliminate toxins from the body.
