| BENEFITS OF WEARING A RIVERSTONE NECKLACE | |||
|
Riverstone's energy accelerates change. It energizes your entire aura, speeding the
resolution of any physical or inner process you are experiencing. Riverstone helps
you move more swiftly through the changes associated with a particular process. For
example, if your body is in a cleansing mode, the cleansing is sped up; if your body
is in a specific healing mode, the healing is accelerated. Riverstone attracts and absorbs a type of energy released by moving water. This energy enlivens the Riverstone, increasing the velocity, strength, and power of the Riverstone's energy flows. Like wild, unbridled horses, Riverstone's energy races in every direction. Because human beings are made mostly of water, when a human being wears Riverstone, the Riverstone has a vast source of potential energy to tap into and transform. How quickly Riverstone accelerates a change depends on how long you wear it - for as soon as you remove the Riverstone, the force behind the change stops. How quickly it works also depends on how disciplined you are in focusing on the change you desire. The results of wearing Riverstone with a focus are very different from those of wearing it without one. Wearing Riverstone without a focus means wearing it with no specific goal in mind or without another gemstone or healing influence to give the Riverstone direction. If you wear Riverstone without a focus, undirected changes will occur and confusion will result. These undirected changes might be in your outlook, attitudes, feelings, physical circumstances, or in the way you react to certain stimuli. When using Riverstone, you must have the motivation and desire to change along with a clear intention. If even one of these factors is missing, Riverstone can lead to imbalances and be quite detrimental. For example, without a clearly defined goal, the Riverstone energy might attach itself to the energy of a disease and accelerate its development. Before putting the Riverstone around your neck, you must spend three to five minutes strongly focusing on and thinking about your reason for wearing it. This short contemplation period will focus mental energy on the situation you wish to address. This mental energy acts like a beacon, guiding the Riverstone energy toward this situation. When the energies of the Riverstone and the situation become linked, the situation's energy enters a swiftly moving current of Riverstone energy. Then the Riverstone cannot take the situation's energy and run with it in any direction; it must follow the projected course of your intention into the future. To focus Riverstone's work, you can also wear or use it with another gemstone or earthstone. Riverstone can serve as a powerful element in a gemstone protocol, helping you to move more swiftly through the changes characteristic of the other gemstone. For example, if the gemstone has a certain healing effect, this effect is accelerated; if it has a balancing effect, the movement toward balance is hastened. Be aware, however, that as things speeds up, your life might seem to go further out of balance. Yet you will simply be letting go of the things creating the imbalance at a much faster rate. |

| ENHANCING SPIRITUAL PRACTICE | |||
| If you enjoy meditation or spiritual contemplation, you can wear Riverstone around your neck either during your quiet time or just beforehand. During spiritual practice, you focus on the spirituality within you, and this is indeed a strong focus. When Riverstone is used as an adjunct to meditation or contemplation, your whole being becomes energized. Then, it helps you make the changes that will lead to greater spiritual experiences. | |||
| ACCELERATING OTHER THERAPIES' EFFECTS | |||
| Riverstone also can be used to accelerate the effects of other energy-medicine protocols, such as herbal or nutritional therapies. Again, the Riverstone must be applied for short periods and with the clear intention of supporting the other therapy. | |||
| FACILITATING EMOTIONALLY-FOCUSED GEMSTONES | |||
| Compared to the physical body and its processes, the emotions are highly volatile. Because of this, directing Riverstone's raw element of change at the emotions could destabilize them and create havoc. Therefore, you must use extreme caution when wearing Riverstone with an emotional focus or applying it with an emotionally focused gemstone, such as Ruby, Rhodochrosite, or Roselle. The Riverstone applications can be frequent, but they must always be brief. For example, you may wear the Riverstone necklace several times a day but only for a few minutes each time; or you may wear the Riverstone several times a week for fifteen minutes to an hour. | |||
| KNOTTED VS. UNKNOTTED RIVERSTONE NECKLACES | |||
| A Riverstone necklace is most powerful when no knots are tied between its spheres. However, even in a knotted necklace, the magnetic attraction from one sphere to the next is strong enough for the Riverstone energy to pass through the space between them. Although its effects are not as strong, a knotted necklace might be preferable for most people, because it is less likely to compromise the wearer's balance. | |||
| SUPPORT IN CHILDBIRTH | |||
|
There is no activity in human experience more focused than the birth and delivery of
a child. During labor, every cell in the mother's body is concentrated on this one
goal. If a woman wishes to employ Riverstone during childbirth, it is best to put it
around her neck after labor is well under way. If labor is progressing slowly or
has become stalled, Riverstone will help speed up the process. It will help the mother
dilate and move through transition. After transition and during the pushing stage, Poppy Jasper is the gemstone of choice. It will give the mother access to more energy for pushing. Immediately after the birth, the mother will benefit from wearing a necklace with a soothing effect, such as the Light Green Emerine combination necklace. |
|||
| TIME GUIDELINES | |||
| Riverstone should be worn for only one or two hours at a time. | |||
| THERAPEUTIC QUALITY | |||
|
Therapeutic-quality Riverstone is creamy tan with patches and veins of white or
light brownish-white. Riverstone is a soft gem and must be shaped into spheres
carefully. Beware of Riverstone spheres that have a shiny quality. This indicates that the stones have been sprayed with a clear covering to keep the stones from deteriorating. This covering renders the Riverstone non-therapeutic. |
|||
| THERAPIES AND PROCEDURES: | |||
|
ENHANCING ANOTHER THERAPY Riverstone is placed on a localized area of the body to prepare it to receive another life-giving therapy, such as a gemstone therapy. The Riverstone enlivens the area's cells and makes them more receptive to the affects of other healing energies. |
