Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Sue & All- > Does anyone have recommendations on crystals to use on kidney > stones? Specifically Cysteine stones if it makes a difference.... I am amazed at the synchronicity of life, the way the Dance unfolds in perfection. While I have been a member of this list for some time this is the first chance I've had to visit in many, many months since my own list and personal and professional work with the stone spirits keeps me extremely busy. Yet, this morning the stone spirits asked me to visit this list specifically and I come upon this post first thing. I have walked with kidney stones for 15 years or more. Though I have a fairly unusual case history with them, I have worked with the stone spirits for some time specifically for kidney stones. There are a number of spirits I can share from my own experience. Know that your heart will recognize the rightness of these in your own situation and that your knowing is perfect in this and all things. I believe that in order for meaningful and lasting healing to occur that we must address the issue on all levels of being, from the physical to the spiritual. The physical, as you likely know, is the final expression of the other aspects of Self that are out of balance or in a state of dissonance. Healing, as I have come to understand and embrace it, recognizes, touches, honors and heals all levels. I also believe that each individual has their own road to healing, their own reasons that the dissonance happened to begin with. Unlike allopathic medicine that tends to prescribe across the board, vibrational or spirit-based options should more carefully consider the individual essence of the person involved. We each have a song that will heal us and discovering that song individually is fundamental to the healing work for self, others and World. I can share briefly about some stone spirits that have been instrumental in assisting me in my own healing dances. Mochi Marbles - these grounded spirits spiral light in and through our bodies, from our physical body to our spirit. They anchor us to the Earth Mother for healing and then infuse us with the Light of our spirits, opening spirals of healing from expanded aspects of ourself. They are also extraordinary at pain relief. Simply holding them invokes their energies and calls them to Dance with us. Rolling or holding them over an area in pain is also exceptionally helpfu. I have worked with people relative to their healing and spiritual unfolding for over a decade and these spirits never fail to amaze me. I have seen some truly extraordinary and miraculous events inspired and supported by the stone spirits of Mochi Marbles. Ajoite in Quartz - Ajoite embodies the medicine of freedom, of opening that which has been closed, of releasing fear and making way for Love. Ajoite is a Copper based stone spirit and Copper is the essence of alchemy. Healing is a form of alchemy, of changing that which is out of balance to an elevated, healthy and more balanced something. Kidney stones, when understood metaphysically, are about a holding on, a repression of something to such a degree that this something crystallizes in our bodies. Ajoite touches us gently, reminds us that we can be free the instant we choose and that we may release, let go and let flow. Yellow Calcite - The stone spirits of Calcite, specifically Yellow Calcite, resonates to our mind and the way we arrange our ideas and beliefs. This is fundamental to healing because if our beliefs are causing dysfunction and dissonance, preventing healing from happening, then we must meet them, see them, embrace them and work to transform them. The stone spirits of Yellow Calcite allow us to have a greater understanding of and access to the way we process beliefs. The very act of placing greater consciousness on this area of Self brings more illumination, but when Yellow Calcite is paired with the spirits of Herkimer Diamonds (specifically those from New York) greater light can be shed in order to allow us to see more precisely where our beliefs are impacting our physicality. Note: In my experience the light to medium Yellow Calcite has a great resonance with both the mental body and the kidneys than do the darker colors that approach the amber/golden spectrum. Dioptase - Another copper based mineral and healing spirit extraordinaire. While Ajoite in Quartz opens us once again, Dioptase steps in and begins the actual transformation. Resonating profoundly to the heart center and to our emotional body, Diotpase helps us to change the way we handle emotions, which in turns effects our kidneys. If we understand emotions to be an expression of the water element within us and understand that the kidneys process the flow of water through our bodies we can see why it is important to address patterns and practices within the emotional body in order to bring about a true healing. When placed at the heart center the stone spirits of Dioptase work tirelessly with a willing individual to bring about change. When paired with Malachite, yet another copper based stone spirit, the medicine expands exponentially. With Dioptase at the heart and Malachite at the solar plexus a powerful cleansing is initiated where repressed emotions are purged from the bodies (Malachite) and shifts are made in the way we handle emotions, giving us new opportunities to express in healthier, more supportive ways (Dioptase). Cave Pearls - Although they're exceptionally rare, they are also exceptionally powerful. These stone spirits are concretions that form in sub-aqueous conditions in caves. They literally are born in pools of water and are either Calcite or Aragonite, both Calcium Carbonate. Between the water element and the presence of Calcium there is a great resonance between these spirits and the kidneys. They are also powerfully healing and while the scope of their medicine is beyond what I can cover here (it took a 10 or 11 page write up that I did in order to even cover the basics), suffice to say that they are some of the most potent stone spirits I have ever had the honor of dancing with. They are clearing and balancing, taking us deeper within ourselves to the seed of dis-ease so that may see it for what it is, past illusions and into the core of Truth. From there these profoundly gentle and loving spirits begin working co-creatively with us toward healing. Azurite - Once again a copper based mineral comes into play. The pattern is that Copper embodies alchemy, which is fundamental to healing. The darkest of the Azurite spirits are most powerful in this healing work because they take us into our subconscious and unconscious realms, addressing beliefs held there that flavor the whole of our experiences in our lives. They are also purgative in nature, but on a mental and psychic level - similar to the purging action of Malachite, though on other levels. Hematite - The beauty of Hematite's medicine in this specific instance is that these stone spirits reveal to us the oracular nature of life, which includes the oracular nature and message of dis-ease. When we come to understand that all pain and dis-ease is a communication from the Self to the self then we can understand why we are walking with this dis-ease and what it has come to teach us. The body's wisdom, which is vast and awe inspiring, is complex at times and sometimes it may not be immediately apparent why we're in a state of dis-ease. Hematite roots us into our body, asks us to be courageous and to face the roots of our present condition. In that way we are no longer victims to something, but rather we can dance in co-creative partnership with our condition to learn, to grow, to balance and to heal. Imagine the polished surface of Hematite to be life's mirror and you will come to understand the " why " of the Now. Rose Quartz - Though all too often overlooked, these stone spirits remind us to be gentle with ourselves during healing, to allow ourselves the loving space necessary to be " in process " and to extend gentle love to ourselves all the while. Rose Quartz reminds us so simply that in each moment there are two choices - Love & Fear. When we choose Love we move toward balance and healing and when we choose Fear we move away from it. When we're in pain, especially during a kidney stone attack, the more we can choose love - even for the pain - the more we can move toward healing in the long term. Kidney stones can be a rough process physically, so Rose Quartz reminds us to be kind and gentle with our body and to choose Love in each instance. The beauty is that these spirits are so understanding and even when we forget to choose Love, the remind us again gently without judgement. Enhydro Quartz - Enhydro Quartz is Quartz with a water bubble inside. The bubbles may be small or larger and may either move or remain fairly stationary. Whether the bubble moves or not shifts the medicine of these stone spirits in subtle ways, which I'll share below. Generally speaking water is the medium of the healing spirits, a road upon which they travel. Many indigenous traditions around the world recognize the mystical properties of water, including its ability to hold and transfer spiritual presence. Understanding this Enhydro Quartz allows us to co-create a healing space around or kidney and our stone, protecting it in a womb-like state as expressed through the water bubble within the crystal. In this space our healing spirits, guides, totems and allies are called forth through our prayers and conscious invitations and the enter that space to bring healing. If the water bubble within the Quartz do not move then it is perfect for establishing this womb-space. Should the water bubble move then its medicine moves into a more active mode of working to clear a stone from the body by flushing it out. Holding the Enhydro Quartz with a moving water bubble over the area with the stone and gently and respectfully moving it back and forth - allowing the water bubble full range of movement - is a simple way to help bring this about. Turquoise - Another copper spirit of great alchemy, the stone spirits of Turquoise embody the essence of " expression as a road to healing. " In this way Turquoise asks us to express that which we have been holding back in order to bring healing. Opening the throat center and connecting us with the fullness of our self, the stone spirits of Turquoise allow us to speak honestly and candidly, to bring healing as the words flow from us. If kidney stones can be understood to be crystallized expressions of that which is held back, Turquoise works to express that which has been retained. Though extremely rare and often expensive, Turquoise will form natural crystals from time to time. They're tiny and amazing and worth every penny spent on adopting them as they're the highest expression of Turquoise medicine available to us to date. Laser Quartz - This specific formation of Quartz crystals blesses us with an intense, focused and highly concentrated expression of Light. Though powerful these stone spirits can support the process of breaking up the stone when directed specifically to the kidney area while asking the spirit of the stone to assist in this work. Quartz is the crystalline expression of Divine Light on the Earth Mother and Laser Quartz is the focus and concentrated transmission of that Light to all who dance with these spirits. A quick note... After working with the stone spirits for nearly 13 years now I have come to recognize and honor them as being spirits - alive, sentient and fully conscious. I don't not view them as " tools " or " things " to be used, but rather as allies and family members to live and Love with. For that reason you hear me speak of them as spirits because that is what I have found them to be. I offer this because the more we work with the stone kingdom in respectful, honoring and sovereign ways the more everyone expands and evolves and benefits. If we can break away from the idea of " using " crystals to living and dancing with them co-creatively the spectrum of healing and potential that opens to us dramatically and geometrically expands in ways well beyond words. There is actually so much more I could share about this, including some earth work, dances with totem spirits and more, but I'm unsure what would be considered off topic and out of respect for the list I'll refrain from going too far off the topic of stone spirits. I also have some herbal remedies that have helped me a great deal over the years and if anyone is interested, I can let you know where you to find them if you wish to contact me via email. I am not associated with the companies who make them in any way beyond being a very satisfied customer that has enjoyed great benefit from their work. I hope the above is useful in some way. It is only a small fraction of the information and dances I have learned over the years relative to this subject, but I wanted to take a moment to share it since the spirits asked me to visit here for the first time in ages. I'm glad I did and hope the information helps some. You're welcome to contact me privately for more information about the herbal remedies, if they're considered off topic to share here.
