The Book of Stones

selection of 'pocket stones' from which they can select, according to the needs of the day. One of the best ways to choose a stone is to pick it up and hold it for a few moments, paying attention to the changes in one's energies and feelings while doing so. At other times, one may choose to simply hold a particular stone for a few moments, or however long it takes to receive what one needs energetically. In my own case, I remember a particularly stressful time in my life when I found it extremely helpful to sit and hold a Danburite crystal in each hand when I came home from work. Within minutes, I could literally feel the tension flowing out of my body through my hands. Both holding and carrying stones has the effect of bringing their vibrational emanations into one's auric field, allowing for the beneficial modification of one's energies.

Wearing Stones in Pouches and Jewelry A natural extension of the practice of holding and carrying stones is to wear them in 'medicine pouches' or incorporate them into jewelry pieces. Both of these practices have gone on for many centuries. (For instance, the crowns of kings and queens, who were viewed as representatives of the gods, included gems which were intended to facilitate communication with the spiritual realms.) One advantage of pouches and jewelry pieces is that they allow one to incorporate combinations of stones which work together to produce the desired effects. One of the most popular jewelry designs I created was the 'chakra pendant,' which consisted of a vertically aligned array of seven stones, corresponding to the seven chakras, or energy centers, running from the base of the spine to the top of the head. I often wear one of them when I am engaged with the public at a trade show or lecture, and I feel that it helps keep me balanced, focused and energized, even through long hours that entail many interactions with different people.
