How to Balance the Root Chakra: wear a gemstone anklet!

Root Chakra balancing anklet with Garnet & Hematite

Root Chakra balancing anklet with Garnet & Hematite

Having trouble staying focused?  Is your mind wondering all over the place?  Not  sure where you are? So many changes in life have you wondering who you are?
These are uncertain times for sure and our very survival seems to be threatened.  No wonder it is hard to keep grounded when the very ground we walk upon is shaking.
The root chakra is all about money, jobs, how we  make our living, survival, our connection to the earth, nature and the physical world around us. It has to do with the material plane.  This is where we feel balanced as we walk on the earth.  If you have issues related to survival in the physical world or need energy and vitality,  consider holding some chakra balancing gemstones like Garnet and Hematite. Better yet wear a Chakra Balancing gemstone anklet with Garnet & Hematite, available on our web site at: http://www.spiralsoflight.com/Power_Vitality.htm

I’ve just returned from four days camping in Utah’s Canyonlands, hiking and mountain biking around the magnificent red rocks was very grounding.  I returned feeling so connected to nature and the world around me, ready to create some new healing jewelry to help you stay grounded  during these unsettling times.  I’m inspired to work with some Red Jasper, Moss Agate and Jade.  Be on the look out for some new chakra balancing jewelry showing up on my web site: http://www.spiralsoflight.com
 
Here is a root chakra balancing affirmation to say when you need to feel grounded:   “My feet are firmly planted on the ground.  I am nurtured by the energy of the Earth.  I am grounded and secure.”
 
Remember to take a walk in nature, touch the earth to help balance your root chakra.

Balancing the Chakras with Gemstones and Flower Essences

June 1st, 2009
The Chakra Energy System

The Chakra Energy System

I attended  a workshop on the healing power of flower essences and the chakra energy system this weekend with Rhonda PallasDowney, the author of ” The Healing Power of Flowers”.
Rhonda shared wonderful information on seven different flower essences, their healing qualities and how they relate to balancing the chakra energy system.
I’ve used flower essences over the years and even make my own flower essences using the flowers that grow here in Colorado as well as those in my yard in the Florida Keys.  Spending time with the flowers, getting to know their energies and “listening” to them brings me out into nature and strengthens my connection to Mother Earth.
It was fun for me to relate this information on the flower essences to the chakra energy system and extend that information into the world of gemstones. I’ve been teaching classes on the healing power of gemstones and the chakras for many years now and my gemstone jewelry chakra designs incorporates this information. Rhonda gave me information to add flower essences to my gemstone/chakra work. I purchased her “Human Energy System” kit with 7 flower essences to balance the chakras, here are the seven flower essences, gemstones and chakra they correspond with.
 
Gemstones and Flower Essences for balancing the 7 Chakras:
  1. Root Chakra- red or black gemstones, Garnet, Ruby, Red Jasper, Jet, Hematite, Black Tourmaline. Flower Essence-Indian Paintbrush
  2. Sacral Chakra-orange gemstones, Carnelian, Amber. Flower essence- Pomegranate
  3. Solar Plexus- yellow gemstones, Citrine, Tiger eye,Golden Topaz. Flower Essence- Sunflower.
  4. Heart Chakra- pink or green gemstone, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Aventurine, Jade, Malachite. Flower Essence-Wild Rose.
  5. Throat Chakra- blue gemstones, Turquoise, Sodalite,Lapis, Azurite. Flower Essence-Desert Larkspur

Chakra Gemstone Bracelet

Chakra Gemstone Bracelet

I just sent off an order of Chakra Bracelets to the world famous Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck New York.  If you don’t know about Omega I think you should. Please see their web site for more information: www.eOmega.org.  They are a nonprofit organization that specializes in teaching workshops, retreats and conferences on all areas of wellness and personal growth.  They offer classes at their NY campus from April through October with world renown teachers.  Workshops in Yoga, Massage, Energy Healing, Spiritual Practices, Art, Music, Sustainable Living and so much more.  With teachers like Neale Donald Walsch, Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee, Alex Grey, Caroline Myss, there is something for everyone at Omega.  The campus is in a beautiful rural setting in upstate New York  with a bookstore that sells my gemstone Chakra Bracelets.

I have eight different gemstone Chakra Bracelets that correspond to the Chakra Energy System.  Each Chakra Bracelet has a different color pattern and uses genuine gemstones to help balance the chakras.  I hand make each bracelet, one at a time with love and healing.  The idea to create the bracelets came to me as a way to help people learn more about the healing qualities of gemstones and how different gemstones can facilitate opening and balancing the chakra energy centers. This creates a vibrant, healthy and balanced individual. I am honored to have Omega selling my handcrafted jewelry.  For more information about wholesaling my chakra bracelets contact me.

How to mend a broken heart- Rose Quartz

February 6th, 2009
Heartstones Chakra Bracelet

Heartstones Chakra Bracelet

As Valentine’s Day approaches not everyone is feeling romantic. If you find yourself wishing you were in a wonderful relationship but are still feeling the wounds of a past love, seek out the heart soothing gemstone Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is connected to the Heart or 4th Chakra and is a heart-nurturing stone, bringing love, joy and acceptance.

Pink and green stones are known to open and heal the heart. I combined Green Aventurine with Rose Quartz to create “Heartstones” a heart chakra gemstone bracelet. These two stones together offer a satisfying heart warming energy. Finding and nurturing love in our lives is something we all seek. Choose Rose Quartz or any pink or green stones. Try this affirmation while holding a pink or green gemstone: “My life only has meaning in proportion to the love I allow in my heart“.

To order this heart chakra bracelet please go to my web site: http://www.spiralsoflight.com/Heart_Stones.htm

Ideas for new Yoga and Chakra Jewelry

January 14th, 2009
 Selenite Castle

Selenite Castle

As I unpack all the wonderful gems, crystals and beads I purchased at the trade show this past weekend, new jewelry designs flow through my head. I’ve been wanting to add some new designs to the Yoga jewelry line. Now I have some incredible new beads and pendants to work with.
Its always so much fun to bring these gifts from Mother Earth home. I can now take my time, look over these semi-precious jewels, feel their energies and put them into healing jewelry designs.
I also purchased some stones brand new to my healing gemstone collection. These will be introduced at my next crystal and gemstone class.
I stocked up on more Selenite wands. These are so smooth to the touch. I enjoy holding them because they can melt away any negativity I am carrying around. Not only did I find Selenite wands, I purchased Selenite in its  many different forms. A beautiful Selenite castle weighing over 8 pounds, is carved from the inside so that a night light can be put into it. What a glow this one gives out. It reminds me of the Rocky Mountains near where I live in Colorado. (For more information on Selenite go to my Web site) New for me is a stone called Petalite. While I’ve seen this stone over the years I never purchased it in its smooth tumbled form before. Placing the round stones into the display basket, I became mesmerized by them. Each one calling me to look deeper. What other messages will they share with me? Bringing new stones to my customers keeps this business fun and exciting. Now back to more unpacking!

Peaceful Larimar

January 9th, 2009

peaceful-larimar-1I received a massage yesterday. As I was laying on the massage table, feeling all the tight and tense spots my therapist was hitting I started remembering all the busyness I have been involved in over the past 2 months. Wow, it all came rushing past my mind. All the activity, all the doing, it was exhausting. This wasn’t what I wanted to be thinking about during my massage! Working with my breath to get past the soreness in my body, I began to relax more and more. I stayed focused on my breathing the same way I do during meditation, letting all the busyness float through my mind, instead of re- living it. Towards the end of the massage I really could feel a sense of peace within my body and my mind was much calmer. It felt so delicious. As I climbed off the massage table I felt the urge to find a gemstone that would offer me this same calm, peaceful feeling. Later that night, after dinner I started looking through some necklaces I had created over the last several months. My “show” necklaces. These are pieces of jewelry that are not yet on my web site, but are displayed when am I at art shows, and metaphysical shows. As soon as I came upon two Larimar necklaces I stopped. Picking them up I instantly began to connect to the peaceful feeling I had during my massage. I love the soft blue colors of Larimar and have always felt its peaceful and serene energies. I describe Larimar as the “stone of peace” because it offers such a peaceful vibration. You know the feeling, like when you are laying down on the ground, looking up at the sky, just watching the clouds pass you by. Watching the clouds drift and form and re-form shapes, some recognizable others abstract. No where to go, just laying back and cloud watching. That is the feeling I get from Larimar. Placing one of the necklaces around my neck, I was instantly brought back to my massage earlier in the day. I can’t take the necklace off, even today, it offers me the calm and peace I want to feel after a busy Holiday season. Peaceful Larimar, so calming. I might just have to go off to the beach and watch some clouds…..

Feeling like one of Santa’s Elves

December 19th, 2008

 

intention-healing-lrgI feel like one of Santa’s Elves,spending these December days in my work studio creating jewelry just as fast as I can, filling all the wonderful orders I am getting through my web site.
I individually create each piece of jewelry, take its picture and post it on the web site.Then its on to processing the orders and shipping. Whew, it maybe time to hire some elves to help! I have a lot to be thankful for. With all this talk about the economy, I am especially thankful for all the orders I am getting. Sales are up this year! I have my abundance and prosperity stones all around me. Citrine is one of them. The necklace seen here is made with a beautiful citrine crystal pendant. Citrine is know as a stone of abundance.
I believe that it is at these difficult times in our lives that we especially need to have things around us that have meaning. Things that can help us deepen our spiritual practices and remind us of our true purpose.
Holding the energy of different gemstones is part of that reminder for me. Taking a moment out of my busy day to quiet my mind long enough to feel a stone’s vibrations, to tune in, refreshes me, even if it is for just a few moments. My mind settles and the stresses of getting an order shipped melts away, replaced with the joy of the season once again. Its not long before I am singing my favorite Christmas carol and creating once again.
Wishing you much joy and happiness during this holiday season.

How to choose chakra jewelry

May 24th, 2007

I was recently asked by a customer, “How do I choose a chakra bracelet. I’ve read through the descriptions and feel I need all of them, which one is best for me?”Sometimes the answer is our Chakra Stones bracelet. This bracelet covers all the chakras and helps balance each energy center. But, often if we just take a minute to tune into ourselves center, take in a few deep breaths we can discern for ourselves which chakra is calling out for balancing. If you feel drawn to a color this can be an indication. Are you finding yourself wearing more blues or greens? Do you go to your clothes closet pick out a piece of clothing, only to put it back and choose something totally different than what you had planned? This can be a indicator. You may be drawn to the color of the chakra that needs balancing. Check into your feelings, desires, are you wanting to feel closer to God, the divine creator, is your being is calling out for a higher guidance, then choose the Divine Unity or Spirituality & Intuition bracelet. Needing to get a loan from the bank, but lacking the confidence to achieve the loan, choose the Desire bracelet. Feeling spacey and unsettled, you may try the Power & Vitality bracelet. If you are still confused about choosing chakra balancing jewelry, email me, Debra@spiralsoflight.com, let me know what is going on in your life, I would be happy to help you make a choice.
