bath by running rocks through the energy fields surrounding the body. By using your imagination, you envision the energy beginning to move the way you want it to.
Amethyst chunks are best used for the energy bath. Why? Amethyst has a higher frequency than many other stones, making it the best one to get things moving again.
Pets
I have spent a considerable amount of time working with pets. I have found that one stone above all others works well for them, and that is the amethyst. For the same reasons that an amethyst energy bath works on people, I believe that the energy of amethyst assists our pets in moving unwanted energy from their delicate fields in order to restore their natural balance.
I believe that pets are earth angels. They are innocents and as such they perform a great service to mankind by helping us transcend our suffering. Pets are willing to take on our “stuff” to help us shift and rise above any unwanted energy.
When our pets are ill, we owe it to our beloved friends to try to help them. Some stones would be toxic to use on your pet, so I always choose the quartz family—amethyst, rose, or clear quartz. You can place the stones in direct contact with your pet. I have even put stones in a horse’s stall to calm the horse down. I arranged for my ill cat to sleep on amethyst chunks until he felt better, and I used clear quartz with an unhappy dog that was in a kennel waiting for his owners to return. Use your imagination; it works! Your intuition will tell you what stone is best to use. While naturally gifted in this area, pets do need a little extra help when they are upset or sick. Gemstones can assist with these energy shifts.
Why This Works So Well
Amethyst is the carrier of the violet ray. As such it can assist the body to move lower frequency energy, while at the same time being energetically accessible to everyone.
By accessible, I mean that some stones have such high vibrations that they are beyond the perception of most people. Some individuals have a difficult time with certain stones energetically. And various minerals may have such a high frequency that some people may not even notice the vibrations at all.
For example, I used to own a beautiful harp. I wanted to play in public, so I called a local bookstore and went there to play. This harp was not the norm. It was an Angel Harp, expressly prepared to play very high-frequency, healing sounds. As I played, I quickly noticed something. Nobody could hear me! Even people who were only a few feet away never bothered to look at the harp or react to the sounds in any way whatsoever.
Quite some time passed, and there I was, playing the harp for the few friends who were with me at the bookstore. I was about to give up when a woman and her daughter walked over, and we had a pleasant chat. Eventually, a few others joined in, but most people in the store had no idea that we were even there. It was like wearing a cloak of invisibility. What I discovered is that unless the people vibrated at a particular frequency, they could not receive the healing from the music. The two frequencies were utterly incompatible.
Stones are the same way! Some stones emit such high vibrations that people cannot notice them. Such stones work in particular instances, but for a mineral to be efficient and shift the vast collective consciousness frequency, it must normally be able to be perceived by most people.
Amethyst is noticeable to everyone and most people respond to it. I’ve seen this reaction for years at gem shows and shops. Whether or not people are of the mindset to understand consciously how stones can heal, most people react positively to amethyst. Such responses might include commenting on the beauty of the stone. That is enough to prove that someone is getting something from the stone. Amethyst has a high enough frequency, or as Cayce would say—vibration—that things will shift for the better for the person who sees or uses it.
Additionally, because amethyst opens the third eye center, there is no better stone for developing psychic abilities and becoming open to receiving information from other realms.
There is a Greek legend about a girl named Amethyst who travels to pay homage to the goddess Diana. On her way, she encounters Bacchus, the god of wine and libation, who accidentally strikes the girl down and turns her into a white stone. When Diana chastises him, he cries his purple wine-colored tears and turns her into the gorgeous stone that we know today. Ever since then, amethyst (meaning not drunken in Greek) has assisted those who suffer from addictions.
Amethysts help to quell our unhealthy thirst and bring us back into balance. Let’s face it—we all are hooked on something, even if it is good for us. Remember the old saying about too much of a good thing? It’s hard to admit at times, but addiction is often a part of the human experience.
As a hypnotherapist, I use amethyst stones quite often in sessions. Having the person hold an amethyst chunk can be restorative. Even though it is not being washed over the energy fields, it still causes a shift to occur.
Relationship issues are challenging for many people, and sometimes people become stuck in a bad situation because they cannot find a way out. Amethyst energy assists people who travel into past lifetimes to reveal the source events of painful relationships. The energy of amethysts can help people to see the higher vision and lessons of the past while gently releasing the karmic link in the current incarnation.
So if you find you need to release anything that is no longer serving you, amethysts will help a great deal.
