Yesterday was lesson two of my Stone Medicine and Chinese Medicine classes. In this lesson, we did a beautiful meditation with stones, learned about the five elements, diagnostics, and much more. Great!
In the lesson, we discussed and meditated with the chevron amethyst. It’s a stone that helps you focus during meditation and helps you ground (where needed). It’s my favorite stone at the moment: the chevron amethyst.
You can see it has stripes. A piece of purple crystal, just like a regular amethyst, but with bands of white quartz or feldspar. The photo shows tumbled stones. The rough pieces are pure, while the rounder and more lustrous stones have an extra sheen added during the processing. The rough pieces are my favorite; I feel the stone’s energy a little more strongly in them than with the others. But of course, taste is personal.
The Chevron Amethyst According to Chinese Medicine
As mentioned, the Chevron Amethyst is a more potent amethyst, meaning it can work slightly more powerfully than regular amethyst.
This is how it works:
– Strengthens the Yin meridians of the eight extra meridians, such as Chong Mai and Ren Mai. This means this stone helps to heal blocked communication with the outside world and with yourself. By being more connected to yourself, you can also connect better with people in the outside world.
– Strengthens the connection between the Heart and Kidneys. When these two communicate properly, you are completely balanced. A healthy relationship between love (heart) and fear (kidneys). Between water (kidneys) and fire (heart). You need both to live a healthy and balanced life.
– Physically, the stone can help repair damage to the Jing and DNA, and may also support cancer healing. This also concerns your foundation. Just like the heart and kidneys, the chong mai and ren mai. This is your foundation. In Chinese medicine, you see that body, mind, and emotions are integrated into the healing process. Because this stone brings you so close to yourself, it’s a wonderful stone for meditation.
