Lighting the Path Less Taken

Register

first I decided to wear my little blue bear it felt right...so its on my neck for now

any way today I was thinking about prayer beads and went to the bead shop to see if anything struck me....nothing did BUT as I was driving to work I came up with these three stones...

moss agate
citrine
rose quartz

not sure why but those three stones I felt drawn to and they have been in the back of mind all day.....is there a similarity to them? I suppose I could look them all up but you always seem to have more insight than the books q13

I have rose quartz but not the other two.....and strangely I've wanted some citrine off and on for a long time and just never seem to get a round to getting some

I am thinking of making a prayer bead strand.....I seriously thought about putting it on memory wire so I could wear them and use them as prayer beads because I am weird that way q21

its been bugging me since it was mentioned...I have no idea where my prayer beads went...I wonder if they were lost in the flood in 1990 so many things were lost.....mostly just my memories...

citrine is a natural cleanser and a wealth stone, put in the far left corner from the main entry door, brings wealth through the home

rose quartz is a crystal of love and a transmitter of peace

Thank you Hermie! Moss agate is right up your alley to..a stone of nature and nurture. I think creating prayer beads of all 3 is a spectacular idea and if you need help finding them let me know and I'll get them for you at my cost.

I love citrine..the energizer the cleanser
Rose quartz and I only sleep together, she is soothing.

here, this is from my site.

MOSS AGATE (dark green w/clouds/white) is one of the stones of new beginnings. It improves self esteem and positive personality traits, promotes self expression and communication skills, reduces deep seated stress and fear, while encouraging trust & hope. Moss agate is an aura protector. It connects the spiritual to the physical. It is also a medium to one's spirit guides, nature's spirits and Mother earth (ie. plants & animals).
Sometimes called a prosperity stone, it is highly valued as a gardeners talisman for it increases your plants fertility and ensures a bountiful crop. Place the stone in water and leave it in the sun, then remove the stone and use the elixir created to water your indoor/outdoor plants and watch them thrive. {You should see my blueberries!}
Physically, Moss Agate can speed recovery from illness or injury and can counteract long term effects from that illness. It's an anti-inflammatory and cleanses the circulatory & elimination systems, helps prevent hypoglycemia and dehydration, treats infections, colds & flu and lowers fever, reduces swollen lymph nodes and can treat fungal and skin infections. (Useful as an elixir to the skin.)

CITRINE (golden/white/clear with sparkles) carries the power of the sun and energizes every level of life. It is a very powerful healer and regenerator. It is one of the few stones that never needs cleansing.
It absorbs, transmutes, dissipates and grounds negative energy and is very protective for your environment and can cleanse the solar plexus and navel chakras, activate your crown chakra and improve intuition.
It is a stone of abundance and it teaches us how to attract success and prosperity, it has the power to impart joy on all who behold it and is useful for soothing dispair and removes destructive tendencies.
Citrine raises self-esteem and self-confidence, helps you develop a positive attitude and look forward, going with the flow instead of hanging on to the past. This stone encourages exploring every possible avenue until you find the best possible situation, it helps with concentration, revitalizes the mind and overcomes depression, fears and phobias. It helps you digest information, analyze situations and steering them in a positive direction. Wearing citrine overcomes difficulty in verbalizing thoughts and feelings.

Physically Citrine reverses degenerative disease, it stimulates digestion, the spleen, and pancreas. It heals infections of the kidney and bladder, helps eye problems, increases blood circulation while detoxifying, activates the thymus and balances the thyroid. It has a warming effect and helps fortify your nerves. Citrine is useful for constipation, and it is helpful for menstrual symptoms, and menopause ie. hot flashes, hormone imbalance and fatigue.

ROSE QUARTZ (rose petal pink) is the stone of infinite peace. It purifies and opens the heart at all levels and brings with it deep inner healing and self esteem.
In existing relationships, it will restore trust and harmony as it draws off negative energy while it strengthens empathy and sensitivity.
Rose quartz is an excellent stone for mid-life crisis, keeping it close can help with positive affirmations. Emotionally it is the finest healer and releases pent up feelings and emotional pain. "Physically" rose quartz strengthens the physical heart and circulatory system, cleanses impurities from your body, if placed on the thymus it helps chest and lung problems, heals the kidneys, adrenals and helps with vertigo/dizziness from travel sickness. Rose quartz can increase fertility when wanted. This stone in an elixir can soothe a burn and its blistering. This stone is also very helpful with Alzheimers, Parkinsons and senile dementia.

AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU HAVE BEEN DRAWN TO 3 VERY PERFECT AND POWERFUL STONES THAT "ALL" WILL HELP YOU DURING THIS TIME" q13

Thank you both q13

and I think I may need some help finding the beads my local bead shop didn't have any in 6mm or 8mm beads q12

I have a rose quartz necklace I wear sometimes.

Cats, those are great stones for you right now. I have plans to head to our bead shop and look for rose quartz and citrine. I have been wanting to make the prayer/mantra beads but I LOVE the idea of doing them on memory wire and wearing them! I may make both and just use the bracelet as a way to have the stones on me all the time.

I got beautiful beads..... q13

and I got some memory wire and there will be some leftover beads so I can make something else....I love love love them thank you sooo much

more hugs
