Questions

[Guest guest]

Peggy,

 

Glad to hear you are feeling better, and hope the improvement

continues. Yes, I do have a question or two. In your segment on

gemstone elixirs, I seem to remember (and correct me if I'm wrong)

that most were for emotional problems. How well do you think elixirs

work for ailments of the physical body? A friend of mine had a very

bad sore throat last week. I prepared an elixir of sodalite, larimar,

blue lace agate and a small clear quartz cluster. Due to overcast

weather conditions I let it sit overnight, and preserved it with about

25% white rum, which was all I had around. I left it at his workplace

for him to pick up, with dosage instructions of 10 drops under the

tongue twice daily. A couple of days later I heard through friends

that he was feeling much better. Frankly I don't know if he

even received the elixir. Do elixirs work for physical illnesses?

 

Another topic. I was reading an interview with Michael Katz, author of

" Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians " aka " Gemisphere Luminary " . I haven't

read the whole book although I have skimmed bits and pieces of it in a

bookstore. Anyway, in the interview he talks about how most people

believe that certain stones are associated with certain organs. He

says that what they are responding to is a specific effect of the

stone and not the stone's true purpose. For example, he says, Dark

Green Aventurine has a purpose of filling the area of the body that

has the lowest energy level with light. When it was observed that

Aventurine worked with the heart, it was assumed that it was a heart

chakra stone, when in fact, it was just that the heart was the area of

the body in most need. I have paraphrased here quite a bit, many

apologies. I don't have the interview in front of me. Anyway... any

comments on the effect vs. purpose of specific stones? Has anyone read

this book? Do you recommend it? I remember being put off by it (5

years ago?) when I read that spherical crystals/stones were highly

preferred. I love all my crazy shaped crystals.

 

Just some topics to throw into the ring...
