Benefits of Wearing a Therapeutic Rhodochrosite Necklace

Rhodochrosite helps develop inner freedom by neutralizing the destructive behavior

patterns that restrict personal growth and undermine physical health. First,
Rhodochrosite neutralizes destructive emotional patterns. Then it cleanses any
disharmony caused by the neutralization of the destructive patterns. Finally, its
energy helps you rebuild a healthy, solid, and efficient emotional foundation.
These three functions�neutralizing, cleansing, and rebuilding�all work together to
promote inner freedom.

To understand how Rhodochrosite works requires some understanding of the energetic

makeup of patterns. Behavioral patterns manifest in the subtle bodies as what
appear to be thin lines. A closer look reveals that these lines are made of blocks
positioned one after the other. One block is a certain cause, the next block is
your response to that cause; the next block is a similar cause, the next is your
response, etc. The more often you respond in the same way to a particular cause,
the longer a particular pattern line becomes. As soon as you finish reacting to a
certain cause, the next cause block starts to form. As soon as a new cause block is
completed, it develops something like a magnetic charge that draws to it the
response characteristic of that particular pattern line. The longer a pattern line
is, the stronger its magnetic charge and the more strongly it directs you to react
in the same way.

Of course, not all behavior patterns are negative or undesirable. Rhodochrosite

affects only undesirable pattern lines. It changes the magnetic charge of the cause
block at the end of an undesirable pattern line�ideally drawing a different,
healthier response. When you first wear Rhodochrosite, you might find that you have
a greater awareness of your undesirable actions and that these actions no longer
feel like your most comfortable response to a certain situation. In other words,
you may feel as though you�ve outgrown a particular response. For a while, you may
continue to react as you always have. However, as time goes on, you will naturally
begin to respond to the same cause in a different way. This will be the beginning
of building a new, more uplifting and harmonious pattern.

Emotional patterns resemble an incorrectly assembled puzzle that has been sitting
around and collecting dust between its pieces. When the puzzle is shaken up, the
dust flies. Emotional patterns behave in a similar way. When unhealthy emotional
patterns are formed, they tend to collect miscellaneous and undesirable energies�in
other words, emotional "dust." When Rhodochrosite is worn, its energy sweeps across
your emotional fabric, shaking up these unhealthy patterns and cleansing the dust
from them.

When the dust has cleared, your emotional strengths will be revealed. These are the
strengths that have been buried beneath the dust of emotional confusion and the
needless emotional energies that clutter one�s life. This dust obscures emotional
clarity and undermines clear emotional expression. When Rhodochrosite has cleared
away the dust and debris, it rebuilds the puzzle so that all the pieces fit
together correctly.

Rhodochrosite is a tool that can change your life. When patterns are highlighted,
worked on, and given perspective by Rhodochrosite, they can provide the lessons
needed to master life. Working with Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite will give you
the opportunity to arise newborn in a new arena, where you can be the master of
your own destiny.

The Influence of Patterns on Health

Emotional patterns feed energy into the physical body like lasers. The amount and
type of energy fed depends on the attitude or feeling associated with the pattern.
If the attitude is one of hurt, anger, fear, or anything else negative, then this
is exactly what will be aimed at the physical body. If enough of these negative
emotional energies are fed into the body, a weak spot will develop, and physical
disharmony and disease will result. Rhodochrosite can help you stop feeding your
physical body with disharmonious energies by resolving the underlying negative
patterns and by creating new, positive patterns.

Rhodochrosite will also make pattern lines more flexible. When pattern lines become
rigid, they restrict the flow of life force to related areas in the physical body,
thereby weakening the areas. When you wear Rhodochrosite, your pattern lines will
begin to loosen until they move with your breath, thus allowing more life force to
flow wherever it is needed.

Self-Confidence

Rhodochrosite mobilizes, encourages, and motivates you to change your patterns. At

the same time, its energy instills you with self-confidence. As your patterns begin
to change, you will become stronger. The realization that you can change your
emotions, patterns, and reactions�and with them, your life�will also give you
tremendous self-confidence. Some people who wear Rhodochrosite feel this greater
self-confidence almost immediately. Others may need to experience several
behavioral changes before this new confidence is felt. Consequently, at first they
may be a little unsure of themselves. Continuing to wear the Rhodochrosite will
eventually build their self-confidence.

Healing Inner Conflict

At every moment, each of us is subject to the myriad influences, perspectives, and

desires of our inner and outer aspects. Somehow we must manage the simultaneous
demands of our physical, emotional, karmic, mental, and intuitive bodies as they
strive to be expressed through our consciousness and actions. We manage this task
by sorting through all these influences and categorizing them in some way. When,
for some reason, our consciousness cannot categorize all these influences, inner
conflicts develop. As the years go by, this collection of uncategorized influences
grows, leading to a perpetual state of unresolved conflict. This conflict manifests
as areas of tightness and stiffness in the physical body.

Rhodochrosite helps the physical body resolve the conflicts created by all the
inner and outer influences trying to manifest through it. It encourages the
physical and subtle bodies to work together with a singular focus as an integrated
whole. In this way, Rhodochrosite affects the way we express ourselves and the very
way we live.

Focusing Rhodochrosite with Mental Intention

A mental declaration of the specific reason you are wearing Rhodochrosite will
strongly focus the gemstones� action on the patterns associated with that issue.
For example, you could mentally declare that you are wearing Rhodochrosite to
change the patterns affecting your digestive system. You should periodically remind
yourself of your intent as you wear the necklace. This will enhance the action of
the necklace for your intended purpose.

If no mental direction is given, the Rhodochrosite will work in a somewhat holistic

manner. It will find the longest pattern lines with the most emotion and negative
attitudes associated with them, and it will work on those first.

Time Guidelines

During the initial phase of working with Rhodochrosite, it should be worn 24 hours
a day. At night, you can wear it or keep it close to you in bed. As long as the
Rhodochrosite stays within your aura, it will continue to work for you.

This initial phase may take two to six months. By then, you will have attained
greater emotional balance. Enough pattern lines will have been resolved, and enough
new ones will have been formed that you may feel like you are starting a new life.
You will have a new attitude about yourself and your health. Also, by this time�if
other therapies have been properly supporting your physical body�you will probably
feel much better physically and have made much progress in your physical healing.
All these changes will indicate that the initial phase of Rhodochrosite's work is
completed.

In the next phase, continue to wear the Rhodochrosite for at least a few hours
every day. If you wish, you may keep it next to you while you sleep, so it can
continue working with you through the night.

Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite

It is no coincidence that Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite have similar names. Wearing

Rhodonite can help balance Rhodochrosite�s power. When you are undergoing the great
changes that Rhodochrosite can initiate, Rhodonite can establish a foundation of
emotional and physical stability.

Necklace Length

For maximum effectiveness, Rhodochrosite should be worn in a necklace that falls

near the heart.

Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite occurs in a wide range of clarity from opaque rock to opalescent gem.
If you imagine this range as a vertical line, at the very top is Rhodochrosite that
is so translucent that the entire sphere displays opalescence; at the bottom is
Rhodochrosite that is so rock-like and dense that its vibrations cannot reach
beyond the physical level. Rhodochrosite that is rock-like or that contains rock
matrix or any other foreign material, such as brown or black spots or blemishes, is
not therapeutic.

Although therapeutic Rhodochrosite exhibits a wide range of clarity, its color

falls within a relatively narrow spectrum�from watermelon- and rose-pink on one end
to orange-pink on the other. The deeper and more vibrant the color of the
Rhodochrosite, the more powerful its effects will be.

Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite can be divided into four quality grades: Fine,
Very Fine, Exquisite, and Exquisite-Plus:

Fine

Fine-quality Rhodochrosite displays the minimum parameters for therapeutic quality

and thus will support Rhodochrosite�s therapeutic mission. It contains some white
bands or spots and some mildly translucent areas.

Very Fine

Very Fine has fewer white bands or patches of white than Fine quality and is
clearly translucent or even somewhat opalescent.

Exquisite
Exquisite-quality Rhodochrosite has very few bands or patches of white. It is
opalescent and translucent.

Exquisite-Plus

Exquisite-Plus is free or nearly free of white and is in an altogether different

league. It is the most translucent and opalescent. The crystalline matrix of
Exquisite-Plus Rhodochrosite is a whisper of physicality. It does not recognize the
difference between the physical, emotional, and mental bodies and therefore works
with each of them equally and with the knowledge that each is a part of your whole
being. Other Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite must focus on one level at a time,
whereas Exquisite-Plus can work on all aspects at once.

To produce the most profound changes, Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite spheres 8

mm or larger are required. Smaller sizes will take longer to initiate
Rhodochrosite�s effects, and the effects may not be as deep or far-reaching.

When working with Rhodochrosite, high quality is essential; the higher the quality,
the better the results. Indeed, the more translucent the Rhodochrosite, the faster
and more powerfully it will work.
