| BENEFITS OF WEARING A RHODONITE NECKLACE | |||
|
Rhodonite stabilizes your emotions. It soothes and brings order to feelings
that are scattered, imbalanced, or ungrounded. Through its steady upliftment,
Rhodonite gradually transforms your emotional foundation, making it more
solid and secure. When your emotional foundation is improved, your body and
emotions can find harmony with each other and respond to life situations in
appropriate, healthy ways. To build a strong emotional foundation, Rhodonite first establishes a new connection between your physical body and emotional aspect. This uplifts the vibratory quality of your body and provides your emotional aspect with a secure footing on which to make positive changes. Then Rhodonite helps organize and ground your emotions so that they become more orderly and balanced. Rhodonite forges a connection between your body and emotions in two ways. First, it energetically connects your physical spine with its counterpart in your emotional aspect. This awakens your physical spine's cells and allows more oxygen to enter your sacrum, resulting in a phenomenon called "sacral breathing." This vitalizes the organs near your sacrum, nourishes and heals the reproductive organs, and encourages greater synchrony and cooperation between your body and emotions. Second, Rhodonite builds an energetic matrix between your body and emotional aspect. This matrix supports the building of a stronger, healthier, and lasting connection between your body and emotions. The construction of this matrix is also the first step in transforming your emotional foundation. The matrix forms the basis of a new, more solid foundation in which emotions can become more organized and grounded. When a mason lays a brick patio, he places boards on their edges to create a form in which he places the bricks. These boards are like Rhodonite's energetic matrix, and the bricks are like your emotions. Rhodonite builds its matrix in great detail, creating a mold for each individual emotion, or "brick." Each emotion you experience potentially serves as a brick in your emotional foundation. Each has an optimal place in your foundation, where it contributes most to the foundation's stability. A healthy emotional foundation consists mostly of positive, well-organized, and compartmentalized emotions. However, when your foundation is improperly laid, your emotions tend to float around like balloons with no place to "land," and emotional imbalances occur. These ungrounded emotions fly, sometimes wildly, in the winds of your emotional aspect. Such balloon-like emotions are anxious to be expressed. Therefore, people whose emotional foundation is not laid properly and who have many ungrounded emotions tend to react before getting all the information they need. They frequently lash out with anger, jealousy, or impatience; they may also be hypersensitive or cry easily. Rhodonite rebuilds your emotional foundation in a way that allows all your emotions to find their proper places in your emotional being. Rhodonite energy seeps into your emotional foundation, where it dissolves old "mortar" and loosens and frees the bricks that are improperly placed. Then, as the Rhodonite energy builds the energetic matrix that will become your new foundation, it starts to give your balloon-like emotions ballast. When your new matrix is completed, Rhodonite encourages disorganized, ungrounded, and balloon-like emotions to fall to their proper places in your new foundation and behave like proper bricks. The changes required to rearrange and transform an emotional foundation, though healthy and desirable, can sometimes feel disruptive and uncomfortable. Rhodonite eases this process by speeding it up. Its energy also does much of the work that would normally be done by the emotions themselves, thus saving you from suffering the same intensity of emotion that would otherwise be required. When emotions have settled into their proper places, they become part of your foundation - and therefore part of your strength. When your feelings are more organized, you can understand and come to grips with them more readily. You naturally place new emotional experiences in their optimal places and are less likely to suffer emotional flare-ups. Because your emotions aren't flying out ahead of you and clouding issues, you can also deal with situations more maturely and objectively. You greet life's unexpected experiences with more grace and stability. Indeed, you become more balanced, mature, and strong. |

| HEALING GRIEF | |||
|
During the process of grieving, emotions become like unruly balloons. They
fly around wildly, overwhelming your sense of balance. This is natural. When
you have lost a loved one or have experienced a major change in your life,
your emotional foundation must adjust, because your essential life
circumstances will have changed. The bricks that once comprised your emotional
foundation must rearrange themselves to suit your new circumstances. Health professionals recognize four stages in the grieving process: shock, protest and denial, disorganization, and recovery. This painful but necessary process dissolves the mortar between the bricks in your emotional foundation. It also temporarily transforms the bricks into balloons, so that they can be rearranged. As the grieving cycle is completed, the balloons fall to the ground again, where they find new places in your emotional foundation. This is why it is necessary to experience all stages of grieving fully -it prevents you from dragging an old foundation into the future and allows you to forge a new foundation on which to build a new life. Rhodonite can support the process of grieving by ensuring that you experience all its stages as quickly and comfortably as possible. While it cannot completely avert the pain of grief, it can accelerate the rebuilding of your emotional foundation. Its energy does much of the work that would normally be done by the emotions themselves. By wearing Rhodonite, you will not have to suffer the same intensity of emotion that would otherwise be required to build a new foundation. |

| BECOMING HEART-CENTERED | |||
| Rhodonite can be especially helpful for people who are consciously working to become heart-oriented. For such people, a clear physical-emotional connection is particularly important. Unfortunately, many people who are striving to become more heart-centered are incorrectly interpreting "heart-centered" to mean "emotionally centered." They wrongly believe that their emotions are the source of truth, and they base decisions solely on how they feel. Wiser decisions can be made by giving equal weight to input from the body, emotions, mind, intuition, and spirit. Rhodonite helps people master the shift to a more heart-oriented view by helping them put their emotions into proper perspective. | |||
| ROSELLE, RUBY, AND RHODOCHROSITE | |||
| Once you have gained greater emotional stability by wearing Rhodonite, you can take further steps toward emotional well-being by wearing a necklace containing Roselle, Ruby, or Rhodochrosite. It is best to continue wearing the Rhodonite necklace at the same time. The Rhodonite will help you maintain your stability as you experience the changes initiated by these other gemstones. | |||
| TIME GUIDELINES | |||
|
Emotional rebuilding takes time. It also takes time for Rhodonite to construct
its energetic matrix. Therefore, it is important to maintain continual contact
with the Rhodonite for at least three weeks by wearing it during the day and
keeping it within three feet of your body at night. This will probably allow
enough time for the matrix to be built and for some emotional rearranging to
occur. After wearing Rhodonite for these initial weeks or months, you will enter the second, and equally important phase, of Rhodonite therapy. In this phase, your emotional aspect will have become strong enough to start working on its own. You will know you've entered this phase when you feel that you need to take a break from Rhodonite. Then it will be time to remove the Rhodonite and wear it only intermittently. Ideally, during this time, you should keep the Rhodonite exposed to the air in your bedroom. This will allow you to maintain an energetic connection to the necklace at night while you are sleeping. Depending on the size of your home, this connection will probably remain intact during the day as you move about your house, and it will disengage when you leave. Do not put the Rhodonite in plastic, because that will cut off the connection. If you begin to feel emotionally wobbly or unstable, or if you find yourself getting easily upset, it will be time to wear Rhodonite continually again. You may also want to wear it again simply for the emotional support it provides or when you need help getting through an emotionally challenging, temporary situation. |

| THERAPEUTIC QUALITY | |||
|
Rhodonite is different from most other therapeutic gemstones, in that
different qualities of Rhodonite produce different benefits. All therapeutic
Rhodonite contains areas of rich, medium- to dark-pink. Some has
clearly-defined streaks and patches of black, and some has softer areas
of white and yellow. None of the non-pink colors make the pink appear
muddy. Each of these four colors - pink, black, white, and yellow - corresponds to a mineral element in Rhodonite, and each has a specific job in producing Rhodonite's effects. Pink Rhodonite highlights your emotional aspect and establishes the physical-emotional connection through the spine. It is primarily responsible for sacral breathing. The yellow and white elements work together to rebuild the emotional matrix; specifically, yellow dissolves old "mortar," and white builds the new matrix. Black grounds your emotions and helps bring them into the new matrix. For the purposes of this discussion, therapeutic-quality Rhodonite can be divided into three basic categories: |
|||
|
CATEGORY 1 In this category, the black element covers as much as 50 to 75 percent of each sphere. The spheres also contain enough well-defined pink areas to maintain a good emotional-physical connection. The pink is clearly visible, and some white and yellow may also be present. This category of Rhodonite is deeply grounding and therefore helpful for stabilizing imbalanced, volatile, or out-of-control emotions. CATEGORY 2 In this category, the black element covers 30 to 50 percent of each sphere. The remainder is predominantly pink with traces of white and yellow. This Rhodonite puts equal emphasis on grounding the emotions and rebuilding a new emotional foundation. It is useful for people who are emotionally strained and having difficulty maintaining their balance, but who can also afford to place some energy on starting to rebuild a new emotional foundation. CATEGORY 3 This Rhodonite is predominately pink and contains 15 to 30 percent black. The pink element is brightest and richest in this category and brings healing energy to the emotions. The black element is still a significant force, but the emphasis on grounding isn't as strong as in Category 2. This Rhodonite is appropriate for those who are emotionally struggling, yet coping. It helps reestablish emotional stability as it rebuilds a better emotional foundation. CATEGORY 4 The Rhodonite spheres in this category are also predominately pink but contain only 3 to 15 percent black. They display more white than yellow, and the white element is obvious to the eye. This category builds a strong bridge between the emotional and physical bodies, so that emotions can be expressed more fully and clearly. The white element helps stabilize the desirable emotions in the newly-developing emotional foundation. The yellow element dissolves whatever has been holding undesirable emotions in the old foundation. This category has just enough black to settle down unsteady emotions so that they can become established in the new foundation. Category 4 is recommended for people who are not currently overwhelmed by any emotions but who wish to make some significant changes in their emotional ways. CATEGORY 5 In this category of Rhodonite, the spheres are almost entirely pink, with only occasional traces of black. Hence, it provides no additional ballast to the emotions. The amount of white and yellow can be similar to that of Category 4. In this category, these colors also support the new structure of the emotional foundation and keep it in place. The pink nurtures the emotions and maintains a strong connection between the physical and emotional bodies. This allows feelings to come through cleanly, purely, and with control. This Rhodonite is most appropriate for emotionally healthy people who wish to improve the emotional foundation they already have. |
