Amazonite has a very refreshing energy, and I have found that it makes it easier to shift the energy when things feel out of control in your life.  Amazonite has a very calming and soothing energy, and likes to be placed over the liver which can help strenghten this organ (maybe by helping one let go of past angers or being around violent energy in a past life or childhood).  Amazonite resonates with the thymus gland, and is a great crystal for strengthening your immune system.  Amazonite has a cooling effect wherever it is placed on the body.  Amazonite has a high amount of Potassium in it, and Potassium has a direct effect on the pineal gland.  Dreams can become very lucid when working with Amazonite.

Amber is a fossilized tree resin that is primarily found in Mexico and around the Baltic Sea.  The amber from the Baltic Sea is older and contains more of the succinic acid in the outer layers.  Even unripe gooseberries and rhubarb stalks, which are the richest in the acid, contain a thousand times less of the acid than the Baltic amber’s succinite which is a natural source of asprin. Amber is a great ally for those with digestive weaknesses in the body or rheumatism.  It can be used to help people wean off of alcohol and other addictive substances, and even lessens the effects and damage of years of alcohol use.  Amber was used alot in ancient times as an anti-bacterial agent, such as burning some during surgeries or birth.  You can make an oil or tincture from amber, the oil is great for rubbing into joints affected by rheumatism and the tincture taken internally for digestive problems.  A tincture of amber has been also used to dissolve gall stones in the body.

Lemurian Seed Roots

female male lemurian root crystal

female male lemurian root crystal

Lemurian Seed Roots

Lemurian Seed “Roots” are the heart of where the Lemurian Seed Crystals grew from. They are composed of Quartz, and are the central heart and seed as to where the crystal wands grew out of. There are male and female roots, the male is trigonal and a very strong mover of energy. The female has a spiral shape, the spiral of the kundalini energy contained in her is obvious in looking at one. These crystals are so amazingly powerful and their loving energy is very very strong. When working with Lemurian Seed Roots, the lymphatic system, fluids and blood get pumping very steady and hard. They assist us in regulating the blood pressure, and promote the opening up any stagnation in the lymphatic system. Opening of the heart and higher heart happens quickly when laying a root along the chakric column.

I have noticed that women naturally have put the male piece in their left hand and the female piece in their right hand while holding them. I have also noticed the opposite with men, they seem to hold the female in the left hand and the male in the right hand. This seems to show that these roots balance the male and female energies in our energy body. Generally, our energies come in through our left hand/side and go out through the right (energy can go in and out either hand or side though). A woman holding a male piece in her left hand would be bringing in those masculine energies. Balance of the yin and yang, all stimulating the heart. These crystals are amazing, and have been working very powerfully at crystal griding around the body while doing crystal layouts.
