Crystals and the Thymus

[Guest guest]

Crystals and the ThymusThe thymus gland is a pink-grey organ that lies underneath the top of the breast bone. In animals it is known as the sweetbreads. No one knew much about the thymus until recently. On autopsies it was noticed that young adults that had died in traumatic accidents often had much larger thymus glands than those dying from diseases of a chronic nature, and it was also believed that the thymus ceased to function after childhood. Pathophysiologists are now unraveling the mysteries of this gland. The thymus processes a type of white blood cell known as a T-lymphocyte. These T-lymphocytes govern cellular immunity which means they help cells recognize and destroy invading bacteria, virus, etc., abnormal cell growth such as cancer, and foreign tissue. Experiments done on animals have shown that if the thymus is removed before birth the baby will accept an organ transplant without rejecting it (it has lost its ability to recognize foreign tissue). At the same time that baby will exhibit little or no ability to fight off disease. Also animals that had their thymus removed would develop cancer rapidly upon injection of cancer cells into their body, while animals with an intact thymus would in most cases destroy the cells. The Thymus is governed by the Heart Chakra.The Heart Chakra:Location: The center of the chestColor: Green or pinkElement: AirSense: TouchMusical Keynote: F (vocalized "ah")Associated Gland: Thymus*Controls the heart, blood circulation, immune system, lower lungs, rib cage, skin, upper back Gemstones: Emerald, Green Jade, Kunzite, Rose Quartz, TourmalineHerbs: Marjoram, Orris root, Rose oil, YarrowQualities and/or Functions: Unconditional love, harmony, forgiveness, healing, compassion, understanding, personal transformation, warmth, sharing, devotion, selflessnessVerb: I loveAngelite has been used with great results for atrophication of the Thymus. Citrine and Smoky Quartz used together in a matrix or two seperate crystals together, also activate the Thymus. Fossil, also activates the Thymus. Quartz is also wonderful for stimulation of the Thymus. I would recommend a Quartz Point.Also consider Emerald, Green Jade, Kunzite, Rose Quartz, TourmalineAndrew Pacholyk LMT, MT-BC, CAPeacefulmind.comAlternative medicine and therapiesfor healing mind, body & spirit!
