Gemstone healing has been practiced for thousands of years. Have you wondered why you've been attracted to a particular piece of jewelry and always feel good when wearing it? Have you researched the stone's meaning and been surprised by what you found? Or did you have an "Ah Ha!" moment?

Many healing, religious and spiritual traditions burn herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification. Combining smudging with gemstone healing practices is innovative, artistic, and most of all - effective. When your smudge is used up, place your Change Charm in a special place. The energy of the gemstones and charms continue to help you achieve your desires and needs. Hold the Change Charm during meditation, carry it during another type of practice, look at it often!

Healing gemstones in your Change Charm serve as a "cue," a simple reminder that - consciously or unconsciously - stimulates behavior that triggers transformative change, bringing the thoughts, qualities, traits - and healing - that you desire fully into your life. Even a small thing like a beautiful bead can remind you of who and what you are at the core of your being. [Living Deeply - The Art of Transformation in Everyday Life, by Marilyn Schlitz, Vieten, Amorok]

This works for many reasons - the energy of the stones works with the energy of our mind.

Amulet – Talisman – Jewelry with healing gemstones… what’s what? What works? Much discussion and disagreement circulates among gemologists, jewelers and others on this topic. Ultimately, the decision seems to rest with the maker. After extensive research and thought, I have chosen to work with these definitions:

• TALISMAN - an object consecrated with psychic force and crafted to be a tool to serve its owner in healing and/or protection. Talismans are tools – not jewelry. One’s mind responds to a Talisman – used for focus, meditation, amplifying personal power, healing - in a different way than one does to pretty jewelry worn for ornamentation and adornment. A Talisman is only made from natural elements – gold, silver, copper, wood, gemstones. The setting is as simple as possible.

• AMULET – a natural object left in its virgin state [can be worn as charm, carried, or kept covered or protected until owner wishes to use it]

I LOVE jewelry, I own jewelry, and I admire many jewelry crafters. I don’t make or sell jewelry. I am a Healer, and my items are Talismans - crafted for assistance in healing and meditation.

There are many providers of gemstone information available, but users should use caution in accepting any and all information without knowing more about the source. The information included with my talismans is compiled from extensive information researched from many sources. I am indebted to the knowledge and insights provided by many authors, websites, teachers, classes, and my spirit teachers. Some publications and websites that I frequently use include: Robert Simmons & Naisha Ahsian's The Book of Stones, Henry Mason’s Crystal Talismans, Ted Andrews (many books), Llewellynencyclopedia.com.
