BENEFITS OF WEARING A RHODOCHROSITE NECKLACE
Rhodochrosite helps develop inner freedom by neutralizing the destructive behavioral patterns that restrict personal growth and undermine physical health. First, Rhodochrosite neutralizes the emotional patterns that restrict growth. Then it cleanses any disharmony caused by the neutralization of the destructive patterns. Finally, its energy helps you rebuild a healthy, solid, and efficient emotional foundation. These three functions - neutralizing, cleansing, and rebuilding - all work together to help you develop inner freedom.

To understand how Rhodochrosite works requires some understanding of the energetic aspect of patterns. Behavioral patterns manifest in your inner aspects as what appear to be thin lines. A closer look reveals that they are made of "blocks" positioned one after the other. One block is a certain cause, the next block is the response to that cause; the next block is a similar cause, the next is its response, etc. The more often you respond in the same way to a particular cause, the longer that pattern line will become.

As soon as you finish reacting to a certain cause, the next cause block will start to form. As soon as a new cause block is completed, it develops a magnetic charge that draws to it the response characteristic of that particular pattern line. The longer a pattern line is, the stronger is its magnetic charge and the more strongly it directs you to react in a certain way.

Of course, not all behavioral patterns are negative or undesirable. Rhodochrosite affects the magnetic charge only at the end of undesirable pattern lines, ideally drawing different, healthier responses to them. When you first wear Rhodochrosite, you may find that you have a greater awareness of your undesirable actions and that these actions no longer feel like your most comfortable response to a particular situation; you may feel as though you've outgrown the response. For a while, you may continue to react as you always have. However, as time goes on, you will naturally begin to respond to the same cause in a different way. This will be the beginning of a new, more uplifting and harmonious pattern.

Rhodochrosite's work can be compared to playing with a puzzle. When an incorrectly assembled puzzle has been sitting around for a long time, dust settles between the pieces. If the puzzle is shaken up, this dust will fly into the air. Emotional patterns behave in a similar way. When unhealthy emotional patterns are formed, they tend to collect miscellaneous and undesirable energies - in other words, emotional "dust." When Rhodochrosite is worn, its energy sweeps across your emotional fabric, shaking up these unhealthy patterns and cleansing the dust from them.

When the dust has cleared, your emotional strengths will be revealed. These are the strengths that have been buried under the dust of emotional confusion and needless emotional energies that clutter everyone's life, preventing emotional clarity and clear emotional expression. When Rhodochrosite has cleared away the debris, it rebuilds the puzzle so that all the pieces fit together correctly.

Rhodochrosite is a tool that can change your life. Patterns can enslave you. When patterns are highlighted, worked on, and given perspective by Rhodochrosite, they can provide the lessons needed to master life. Working with Exquisite-quality Rhodochrosite will give you the opportunity to arise newborn in a new arena, where you can be the master of your destiny.

THE INFLUENCE OF PATTERNS ON HEALTH
Emotional patterns feed energy into your physical body like laser guns. The amount and type of energy depends on the attitude or feeling associated with the pattern. If the attitude is one of hurt, anger, fear, or anything else negative, then this is exactly what will be thrown into the physical body. If enough of these negative emotional energies are poured into the body, a weak spot will develop, and physical disharmony and disease will result. Rhodochrosite can help you stop feeding the physical body with disharmonious energies by resolving the corresponding pattern and by creating new, positive patterns.

Rhodochrosite will also make pattern lines more flexible or less stuck. When pattern lines are stuck, they restrict the flow of life force to the corresponding area in the physical body, thereby weakening the area. When you wear Rhodochrosite, your pattern lines will begin to loosen until they move with your breath, thus allowing more life force to flow wherever it is needed.

SELF-CONFIDENCE
Rhodochrosite mobilizes, encourages, and motivates you to change your patterns. At the same time, its energy instills you with self-confidence. As your patterns begin to change, you will become stronger. The realization that you can change your emotions, patterns, and reactions - and with them, your life - will also give you tremendous self-confidence. Some who wear Rhodochrosite will feel this greater self-confidence almost immediately. Others may need to experience several behavioral changes before this new confidence is felt; consequently, they may be a little unsure of themselves at first. Continuing to wear the Rhodochrosite will eventually build their self-confidence.

HEALING INNER CONFLICT
At every moment, each of us is subject to the myriad influences, perspectives, and desires of our inner and outer aspects. Somehow we must manage the simultaneous demands of our physical, emotional, mental, intuitive, and spiritual selves as they strive to be expressed through our consciousness and actions. We manage this task by sorting through all these influences and categorizing them in some way. When for some reason our consciousness cannot categorize all these influences, inner conflicts develop. As the years go by, this collection of uncategorized influences grows, leading to a perpetual state of unresolved conflict. This manifests as areas of tightness and stiffness in our physical bodies.

FOCUSING RHODOCHROSITE WITH MENTAL INTENTION
A mental declaration of the specific reason that you are wearing Rhodochrosite will strongly focus Rhodochrosite's activity on the patterns associated with that issue. For example, you could mentally declare that you are wearing Rhodochrosite to change the patterns affecting your digestive system. Just periodically remind yourself of your intent as you wear the necklace.

If no mental direction is given, the Rhodochrosite will work in a somewhat holistic manner. It will find the longest pattern lines with the most emotion and negative attitudes associated with them, and it will work on these first.

TIME GUIDELINES
During the initial phase of working with Rhodochrosite, it should be worn twenty-four hours a day. At night, you can wear it or keep it close to you in bed. As long as the Rhodochrosite stays within your aura, it will continue to work for you.

This initial phase may take two to six months. By then, you will have attained greater emotional balance. Enough pattern lines will have been resolved, and enough new ones will have been formed that you may feel like you are starting a new life, and you'll have a new attitude about yourself and your physical condition. Also, by this time - if other therapies have been properly supporting your physical body - you will probably feel much better physically and have made much progress in your physical healing. All these changes will indicate that the initial phase of Rhodochrosite's work is completed.

In the next phase, continue to wear the Rhodochrosite for at least a few hours every day. If you wish, you may keep it next to you while you sleep, so it can continue working with you through the night.

RHODONITE AND RHODOCHROSITE
It is no coincidence that Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite have similar names. Wearing Rhodonite can help balance Rhodochrosite's power. When you are undergoing the great changes Rhodochrosite can initiate, the Rhodonite can establish a foundation of emotional and physical stability.

NECKLACE LENGTH
For maximum effectiveness, Rhodochrosite should be worn in a necklace that falls near the heart.

THERAPEUTIC QUALITY
Rhodochrosite occurs in a wide range of clarity from rock to opalescent gem. If you imagine this range as a vertical line, at the very top is Rhodochrosite that is so translucent, the entire sphere displays opalescence; at the bottom is Rhodochrosite that is so rock-like and dense that its vibrations cannot reach beyond the physical level. Rhodochrosite that is rock-like or contains rock matrix or any other foreign material, such as brown or black spots or blemishes, is not therapeutic.

Although therapeutic Rhodochrosite exhibits a wide range of clarity, its color falls within a relatively narrow spectrum - from watermelon and rose pink on one end to orange-pink on the other. The deeper and more vibrant the color of the Rhodochrosite, the more powerful its effects will be.

Therapeutic-quality Rhodochrosite can be divided into four quality categories: Fine, Very Fine, Exquisite, and Exquisite-Plus.

Fine-quality Rhodochrosite displays the minimum parameters for therapeutic quality and will support Rhodochrosite's therapeutic mission. It contains some white bands and some mildly translucent areas. Very Fine has fewer white bands or patches of white and is clearly translucent or even somewhat opalescent.

Exquisite-quality Rhodochrosite has very few bands or patches of white. It is opalescent as well as translucent. Exquisite-Plus is free or nearly free from white and is in an altogether different league. It is the most translucent and opalescent.

The crystalline matrix of Exquisite-Plus Rhodochrosite is a whisper of physicality. It does not recognize the difference between the physical, emotional, and mental aspects and therefore works with each of them equally and with the knowledge that each is a part of your whole being. Other therapeutic-quality Rhodochrosite must focus on one level at a time, whereas Exquisite-Plus can work on all aspects at once.

When working with Rhodochrosite, high quality is essential; the higher the quality of Rhodochrosite, the better the results. Indeed, the more translucent the Rhodochrosite, the faster and more powerfully it will work. To produce the most profound changes, therapeutic-quality spheres eight millimeters or larger are required. All smaller sizes will take longer to initiate Rhodochrosite's effects, and the effects may not be as deep or far-reaching.

THERAPIES AND PROCEDURES:
  INNER-CONFLICT RESOLUTION
A Rhodochrosite necklace is placed on a localized area of tightness, injury, or other disharmony to help the body resolve the underlying inner conflicts associated with the area. By clearing these inner conflicts, this therapy sets the stage for a deeper physical healing to occur.

RESISTANCE RELEASE
This therapy helps release any mental resistance to the positive changes initiated by wearing a Rhodochrosite necklace. It also releases inner resistance to healthful changes in the spine and therefore acts as an excellent pre-treatment for any spine therapy.

INNER HEARING TECHNIQUE
A necklace of Rhodochrosite spheres is applied to the ears and brow chakra to help develop inner hearing. This therapy enhances the ability to hear the nonphysical sounds expressed in all of life's manifestations, including plants and gemstones.
