Stone Folklore

About Healing Stones and Crystals

It is believed that crystals have physical, spiritual, spirit, crystal energy, and spiritual awareness, all which can be useful in the treatment of everything from pain to therapy of the mind, body, and spirit. In our practice we truly enjoy and feel the benefits of gemstones.

Pendulums for Dowsing and Divination

We carry many different styles of Pendulums. Pendulums are more than a beautiful piece of jewelry -- they are also ancient tools of divination.  

Our bodies are very sensitive electrical magnetic instruments that are constantly responding both positively and negatively to our world.  Pendulums help us to attune to these subtle feelings by amplifying them visually. 

To obtain the answer to a yes/no question such as 'Will It rain tomorrow?' Hold the pendulum still then ask the pendulum what direction represents 'yes' , let it swing then you will know what direction is 'yes' then ask it what direction represents 'no' let it swing, do the same for 'may-be'.

 

How Do I Use Crystals and Gemstones? -

The use of Crystals and Gemstones is easy, simply wear, carry and have them in your space. Notice how you feel when you use them and listen to your body, pay attention to the effect it has. Be creative in the use of them, for example; if you work in an office you can put a bowl of stones on your desk and when people come to you watch how they will touch the stones and notice if there is a change in mood. 

How do Crystals and Gemstones Work? - Have you ever gone for a hike and been drawn to pick up a stone and carry it? You may have noticed it just feels good in your hand. Or have you been shopping for a special piece of jewelry and find you simply must have a particular gemstone? It could be that you needed the properties of this stone without even knowing why.

And have you ever experienced the strong desire to wear a particular stone jewelry piece for days on end and then all of a sudden you are tired of it?
