Empowering Gemstones Sacred Gems Newsletter July 2004   Wishing you all the best on all levels. When I work with someone I use gemstones and malas (made from gemstones) to help create a postive future. Some of you know the benefits of meditating with a mala yogically, others this will be your first introduction. On another note, I recently saw a great movie called "What the #$*! Do we (K)now? ", it addressed how important positive thinking is and how we are co- creators of our life! Finally science is proving what Yoga, Kabbalah, Vedic and the Intuitive arts have known for thousands and thousands of years. What a lovely validation! If you can, I highly recommend you go see this movie. It is an honor and blessing to serve you, Rachel E. Hart:) in this issue Gemstones and Weight Loss Malachite Mala Rutilated Quartz Mala White Topaz Earrings Mystical Tantric Necklace Malachite Mala Malachite helps reveal subconscious blocks, to releasing them. It also helps balance one, on all levels. It reduces stress and tension, strengthens the heart and circulatory system. It relates to the heart chakra and solar plexus. This mala is 108 beads, using 8mm size beads and has a silk tassel. This mala is usually $420.00 but is $300.00 for the rest of the July. Rutilated Quartz Mala Quartz expands the aura and the larger your aura is, the healthier and happier your feel. Being Rutilated Quartz, having veins of gold running through the quartz makes it even more powerful and expansive. If you find yourself surrounded by negativity, this gemstone will protect and expand your aura. I came across some very beautiful and large Rutilated Quartz beads a long time ago. I thought, I should have an excellent mala and these beads just spoke to me. So I bought them and made myself a beautiful mala and was meditating with it for the first time, while driving. Now these beads were big, about 20mm and I usually make malas with 8mm beads. As I moved the beads over my index finger, I found it very hard to stay in my body, that is how powerful this gemstone is. Now, I only make Rutilated Quartz Malas with 8mm size beads. The larger the bead, the more gemstone material the more powerful the energy will be. I found 20mm size beads to be way too powerful. 8mm size Rutilated Quartz beads are just right. If you would like to see a more detailed view of this mala, email your request to rachel@sacredgems.com. This mala is 27 beads, 8mm and is $149.00 plus S&H. White Topaz Earrings This is the only decent White Topaz, I can find these days. White Topaz is in the Venus gemstone family. It will help bring more Venus energy into your life. Other Venus Gems are Diamonds, White Sapphires, Phenacite, Danburites and Zircons but White Topaz is the least expensive. Until I find another supplier for White Topaz, this is the only White Topaz I can find these days. These are 14K White Gold earrings and are $108.00. Mystical Tantric Necklace This is a very esoteric necklace that conducts energy and sound current. My experience is that it acts like a battery, enhancing your energy. I usually only share this necklace with healers, psychics and teachers but thought I would share it with you. This design was found in a very old French Manuscript and was verified by a Tantric Master to be authentic. It helps enhance healing energy and spiritual gifts. If you would like more information email me at rachel@sacredgems.com. It can be made in your Personal Gemstones if you like. Gemstones and Weight Loss   Clients ask, from time to time if there is a gemstone that can help with weight loss? Personal Gemstones can help work through blocks holding you back. Meditating with a gemstone mala, can help focus the mind on a positive affirmation, example "Slender", "Thinner", "Sleek" or "Everyday, I am getting thinner". By meditating with a mala you can re-program your self-image. I had a client who was gaining weight because she was emotionally eating. She asked me for help and I recommended she meditate with a Malachite Mala when she started to feel the urge to emotionally eat. Malachite is the "Gemstone of the Saints" and gives saintly virtues. It helps cleanse the sub- conscious and works on the physical body. It helped her process her stuff and work past her issues. She stopped over eating and found it a helpful practice. If you have a weight issue and you have a mala, meditate with it when you feel like emotionally eating. Running the beads of the mala over the index finger will help give you insight or over the Saturn finger, next to the index finger will enhance your patience. Having said the above, being over weight can be more than an emotional issue. Medical research is finding some very interesting facts about caloric intake, calorie dense foods and Phytonutrients. I highly recommend reading the book "The Okinawa Diet Plan" which is based on a 25-year medical study. To find out more about malas... Quick Links...
