'New Beginnings'

Chakras: Solar Plexus (3rd), Manipura; Heart (4th), Anahata.

Key words: increase, prosperity, wealth & well-being.

Element: Earth

Peridot is a powerful generator of the frequency of increase. It can be used to manifest the increase of wealth, increase of health, and increase of joy and emotional well-being. This stone allows you to gently expand your ability to receive from the Universe, accepting your birthright of complete abundance on all levels of life.

More than a financial prosperity stone, this ally aids in increasing one’s ability to receive on all levels. In the process, it may reveal the areas where self-worth issues have not allowed one to receive in the past.

Spiritually, Peridot aids one in perceiving and honouring the source of all abundance. This source is the Creator’s frequency of Love. By opening one to receive more of this Universal Love, Peridot can help one receive abundance on all levels.

Emotionally, Peridot helps remove blockages to receiving. Many spiritual people are adept at giving their love, time and energy, but may not be so good at receiving. Blockages are often located at the back of the Chakras and exist as clouds within the emotional body. Peridot can assist in dissipating these blockages and teaches one to receive with grace and gratitude.

Physically, Peridot can be used to alleviate heaviness of heart and all manner of heart-related imbalances. It helps strengthen the blood and can be used to counter anemia and poor oxygenation. It is an excellent stone to use in recovery from tobacco or inhalant addiction.

Affirmation: I gratefully receive my birthright of success, abundance and prosperity on all levels.

Hematite is the most effective of all stones for grounding oneself in the body and the physical world. It can counteract spaciness and confusion, helping one to see practical concerns and move forward with useful action. It pulls stray energies down through the meridian system to the root chakra. On the everyday level, wearing Hematite can assist one in bringing one’s dreams and aspirations into reality and in learning the difference between true vision and fantasy. Hematite encompasses both male and female polarities – yin & yang – creating a balanced energy that contains the opposites within the whole. 

Emotionally, it lends one strength, courage and fortitude for moving through adversity. 
 

Physically, Hematite is excellent support for blood and blood production within bone marrow. It can work as a strengthener for the liver and an assist in the detoxification process.  
 

Affirmation: Through my body, I ground the energies of the Light realms in this world.

Keynote: Gentleness & innocence; gentle luring to new adventure.

Cycle of Power: Autumn & Spring

There are many myths of deer luring hunters, or even kings deep into the woods until they are lost and begin to encounter new adventures.

A deer’s senses are very acute. Its vision is designed for clarity at a distance. It is especially effective at detecting contrasts and edges in dim light. Its hearing is equally acute. Anyone who has deer as a totem will find increasing ability to detect subtle movements and appearances. They will begin to hear what may not be said directly.

Key words: natural good, inner truth, immune booster, courage.
