Lepidolite: Calm Acceptance

Pink and purple lepidolite. The pink one has pink tourmaline in it adding peace and love to the mix.

 

Lepidolite is a high lithium content stone and hence offers calming and meditative qualities to the wearer. Acceptance of the present day the way it is and particular circumstances that can be changed and what cannot. This includes things that one would like to change, but would be too hard to tackle right now.

Lately I’m finding a balance between writing grants for non-profit youth music programs and making jewelry. I have also added the “buy less” and work with what I already own motto. It helps to save money and reduce clutter. I just finished a large grant writing project that I started early and worked on almost every day for 10 days. Looking back on it I could not have done it in two days, it needed air and space to develop. I accept that time is important to writing a grant application for it to be effective.

What do you want to accept in your life to add a calming effect?

Blue Green

One can’t help but notice how many beautiful blue and green gemstones there are. Turquoise, Amazonite, Aventurine, Prehnite, Ruby in Zoisite, Aquamarine and even Chrysocolla the master of combining green and blue.

Sacred Sounds is how Naisha Ahsian describes Chrysocolla, “it governs all aspects of sound healing.” You just can’t beat that! The next time you’re feeling down, pick up an instrument, play your favorite song, or hum a tune and get healed. Another great tool is to think about green and blue energy opening up your heart and throat chakras. 

Thoughts become Truth

I found out I gained some weight, at least that’s what the doctor said when I weighed in for a physical. Since then I haven’t been able to stop eating. I need to go back to somehow thinking I’m slender and eat that way LOL!

I know one excellent method, well actually two to lose weight or at least plateau. They are (1) only eat when I’m hungry and (2) put a time limit on when I can eat in the evening like “no eating after 7pm”. The latter one is fun because you eat all you want all day but stop at that time you’ve selected. The next day woohoo! get to eat again.

Anyway how to tie this to a rock. Lapis lazuli comes to mind since it is inner wisdom and intuition (sounds like the same thing right). For me inner wisdom is listening to something ancient within me, a voice that is more than my conscience mind. Whereas intuition is my gut feeling like when I think someone is a bit weird and I’m getting weird vibes from them–it’s almost always true–if I stick around to find out. Wearing or even thinking about that dark blue color of Lapis helps bring this awareness to the forefront and even is considered to activate your 3rd Eye Chakra! You just can’t beat that.

I just happen to have a great photo of a Lapis bracelet I made that has been the wallpaper on my Artist Gems Facebook for months now. I’ll paste it below and put something fresh on FB. Ciao for now!
