  Amber

 

When I think of Autumn, the color Amber comes to mind.  It’s that warming, uplifting color you like to see when the sun is making less of an appearance, as the days ahead become colder and darker.  Which brings me to the stone Amber.  It has an energy similar to ‘liquid sunshine.’  This stone and it’s beautiful energy can help us all during the darker half of the year.  Not to mention it has many other beneficial properties.  Technically, Amber is not a stone since it is ancient fossilized tree resin, mainly coming from pine trees.  There are more than several different types of amber.  Baltic amber is considered by many to be the best Amber in the world.  It is estimated to be 30-40 million years old, making it one of the most collected types of Amber.  Sometimes you will find fossilized pieces of plant, moss or even bugs within a specimen.

Amber is electromagnetic and has many metaphysical and healing properties.  It has been used throughout time, including in the breast plates of the high priests, by Shamen, Native Americans and Eastern Indians.  It was employed very early on for amulets and medicinal purposes. Those who owned Amber felt that they had a sacred talisman of great power.

Amber is a highly protective and calming stone.  It is  recommended for anyone who does healing work, as it offers a protective shield against taking on others pain and negativity.  It aligns the aura with the physical body, mind and spirit.    

Amber is a powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser.  It draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels. Amber aids in physical self-healing, emotional healing of depression, and environmental clearing.  It helps to protect from radiation and EMF exposure, and is good to use following these types of exposures since it draws it out and promotes detoxing. 

Amber opens and balances the solar plexus chakra for mental clarity, helps balance mood, aids with confidence and eases anxiety.  It is also useful for healing the endocrine system and neurological tissues.

Amber is grounding and can foster more stability in your life.   It is also a good stone for prosperity, as it aids in the manifestation of ideas to reality.  In addition, it has been said that the life force trapped within Amber promotes fertility, and its protective and environmental clearing properties make it a good stone to use to prepare a healing or birthing room.

Keep an amber tumble in your pocket or wear a necklace or bracelet with Amber in it.  Amber absorbs a lot of energy so it should be cleansed after being used for healing to dispel the negative energy it has absorbed.  It should also be cleansed if you have been around negative people, involved in stressful situations or around computers and electronic devices for a length of time.

Amber is very soft and fragile.  Some of the best ways to cleanse it are placing in on a windowsill in the moonlight, running it through the smoke of smudging herbs like sage or sweetgrass, running it under cool water for a few moments, burying it in the Earth for 24 hours or with use of light work & Reiki.  If you put it in the sun be very careful and make sure it’s not ‘sunbathing’ for more than a few hours.
