My amber drop

July 21, 2007

Hello everyone

Last year I purchased an amber drop about the size of a quarter. I was

immediately drawn to it when I saw it. The man told me that he'd drilled it and

put a pin through it because Amber is hard to use. Usuall its encased in a

metal such as silver because it's fairly fragile. He didn't put a fitting on it

because it might break. I love the exposed nature of the because it lays right

next to my chest. (I have asthma.) I've worn it continuously and my asthma

seems to be improving to where I'm able to do a lot more than before. Once I

took it off for several days to 'cleanse' it in the sunshine in my window and I

kind of forgot it. I wound up with bronchitis. I belive that it helps me a

lot.

Does the drilling hurt the amber? Should I remove the pin and glue a fitting on

it? I'm afraid I'll lose it as I've been able to become more active lately

horseback riding, walking the dogs etc.

I sort of have an emotional attachment to the drop. My primary care doctor

commented on it. She's from India and said that her people believe in stones

healing powers. At the very least its beautiful, and if my belief in it helps,

it certainly won't hurt.

Any ideas about the pin through it? Is that ok?

HI Deb,

It is my opinion that putting a pin through amber is the equivalent of getting

your ears pierced....or polishing a crystal. When you get your ears pierced you

do in fact affect the chi flow to certain meridians. It is possible that

physically and metaphorically that certain lattice structures have their flow

impeded. On the otherhand, like jewelry, you are making way for a new

energy...the energy of you wearing the stone and enhancing other energies,

including beauty, which is a wonderful energy to hold. When a crystal is

polished you lose the c-axis of the crystal and the knowing, unless you divine

the energy, or where the true flow of energy emerges from....the energy of a

crystal, natural termination, always exits through the c-axis of the crystal

termination. But when you polish a crystal it brings out a level of beauty

which is not always accessed or seen unless polished. There are other gifts to

emerge. Amber does not have a natural termination but it does

conduct electricity. Many apects of this question are entirely subjective. Most

of us are guardians of polished and cut crystals.

Polished Amber tells a story of the history it encases...bugs and

ferns...time and space.

You do not loose your abilities or beauty when you pierce your ears, or other

body parts, You take on a new energy....even though other processes have been

affected.

Embrace your beautiful amber and its ability to help with bronchitis....orange

is the color of strengthening the lungs....and vibrationally it is doing the

work it best does.

Blessings,
