Below are
examples of some of the healing
necklaces I have made. I am showing them for three reasons. First to
show how many different beads can combine to make the necklace. Second,
to show that the necklaces can be pretty as well as healing. And finally
to show that they are made light so they can be worn at all times. The
more the necklace is worn-the more it can help. I try to make the
necklaces long enough so that they can be wrapped around the wrist and
worn as a bracelet, when a person does not want to wear a necklace. This
versatility enables every one to wear it more.
I have familiarized
myself with the stone properties, but when I make these necklaces I go
with my intuition first and my stone knowledge
second. On most of my necklaces, as you can see, I use
some basic stones. I do not use all of these stones on every necklace
and I always include other stones that are specific to the person the
necklace is being made for. The thoughts behind the use of the basic
stones are as follows: I use amethyst
and/or rose quartz because
they are potent healers; I use malachite
and/or lapis lazuli because
they draw out hidden diseases; because the lapis and malachite do not
heal-I try to place them near the rose quartz or amethyst-so that they
can heal the hidden diseases. Amber
relieves pain; I include it on a necklace for people with chronic
pain/illness as well as for any woman who suffers from menstrual cramps.
Turquoise and
jade are grounders-to me they are stones that connect us to heaven
and earth; unless one is very grounded, we can all use help in this
area. Fluorite gives one protection
from psychic assault; I use this when I feel someone's pain or illness
is coming from outside of themselves. Garnet
I use for heart knowing and heart healing. And finally I try to include
at least one or two pieces of tourmaline;
tourmaline was brought to me in a dream with the grandmothers. I was
told to use this stone for the one I love most in this world (besides
myself). I feel this is a stone whose healing properties are unknown or
unspoken, but it is a powerful healer. I vary the amount of these
basic stones on each necklace according to the person. I have found that
the size of the stone or the quality
of the stone makes no difference.
Remember the stones are transmitters and transducers, so they only help
us heal ourselves.
The
beads I use on these necklaces I have been collecting over the
years. Some I have bought at bead stores, others I have found (or they
found me) at swap meets and some come from older necklaces; the rest
have been given to me to use for this healing purpose.
My
process in making a healing necklace is as follows: I get out all
of the beads I have collected and I begin to put together the beads I
"think" I am going to use along with the beads that are spoken
in my head. Rarely do I end up with
the necklace the way I "thought" it would be. The only
absolute is the length of the necklace. The last necklace I made had no
tourmaline-it just did not work. I have yet to make a necklace in one
try-it generally takes about 8-10 hours of trying different combinations
of stones. Anyone can string beads
together-but when a necklace looks right-it
is because the beads are in their proper place
with each other. I make sure I am well rested and I think of the person
as the necklace evolves. If it does not come together right away-then I
put it down and "sleep on it". I do the collecting
of stones and the gathering
of the stone knowledge separate from
the actual necklace making process-I
at least sleep once between the gathering and making. I do not have
words to describe the process beyond this point. After
I have a finished necklace I
do look up the stones to
see why I used them; sometimes I can see the reasons
immediately, other times I do not know until later and sometimes I never
know intellectually-but my heart knows.
