			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bloodstone-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-156" title="bloodstone 1" src="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bloodstone-1.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="95" /></a>This last week, Easter, brought to my mind this beautiful stone, Bloodstone.   During the Middle Ages, the red spots in the stone were thought to be spots of Christ’s blood when He was crucified on the Cross. It appears as green quartz flecked with red or yellow jasper.  The hardness of the stone is 6.5 – 7 which is based on a 1 to 10 hardness (10 being the hardest).  Most commonly known as Bloodstone but sometimes referred as “Heliotrope”. Bloodstone is a great reminder of Christ’s sacrifice for us, whether the stories are correct or not.</p>
<p><a href="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bloodstone-2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-157" title="bloodstone 2" src="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bloodstone-2.jpg" alt="" width="145" height="99" /></a>Bloodstone is an energy cleanser and immune stimulator for acute infections, stimulates the flow of lymph and metabolic processes, revitalizes and re energizes when the body and mind are exhausted. It helps to purify the blood, and detoxifies the liver, intestines, kidneys, spleen and bladder.  Bloodstone benefits blood-rich organs, and aids the circulation, helping in cases of leukemia as it supports the blood and removes toxins. The ancient Egyptians used it to shrink tumors, cleanse the lower chakras and realign the energies.</p>
<p>Psychologically, Bloodstone gives courage, encourages selflessness and idealism, and assists you in acting in the present moment.</p>
<p>Mentally, it calms the mind, dispels confusion, and enhances the decision-making process.</p>
<p>Emotionally, Bloodstone helps to ground the heart energy.  It reduces irritability, aggressiveness and impatience.</p>
<p>Bloodstone is a beautiful healing stone that we all can benefit from its healing properties. Be sure and check out the etsy tab to the right.  You will find many pieces of jewelry made of Bloodstone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, turquoise has healing properties in its mineral makeup!  Years ago, I<a href="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jewelry-1-27-2010-0901.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-110" title="Jewelry 1-27-2010 090" src="http://ginadane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Jewelry-1-27-2010-0901-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> thought it was only worn by the Native American Indians because it was pretty.  Maybe even easily accessible to them.  But &#8220;NO&#8221; it was worn because of his healing properties and balancing properties that it possess.</p>
<p>The attributes of turquoise are to provide balance to the spirit and the body.  It is a purification stone that dispels negative energy and clears electro-magnetic smog (computers, cell phones, etc), protection against pollutants in the environment.   It will help to unite the male and female energies, too.  Turquoise will instill inner calm while remaining alert and aids in creative expression by stabilizing mood swings. It also, aligns the all the chakras.</p>
<p>Physically, turquoise is great for exhaustion, depression or panic attacks and the immune system is enhanced.  It helps with the regeneration of tissue while the assimilation of nutrients are increased to help with healing.  Viral infections are helped by wearing turquoise, too. It reduces acidity and benefits gout, rheumatism, cataracts and stomach issues. Turquoise is a anti-inflammatory and detoxifying stone that alleviates cramps and pain. It helps to oxygenate the blood and increase the amount of energy in the physical body.</p>
<p>Many people, in fact, like it because it stimulates romantic love.</p>
<p>Turquoise aids in communication and stimulates the throat chakra, making it easier to express your thoughts.  It empowers those that are shy about sharing their thoughts. Being a wholeness stone it is beneficial to overall well-being and soundness of one&#8217;s mood and emotions.  It has the capability to heal the emotional body and relieve stress.</p>
<p>Emotionally, it is a stone for self-forgiveness, self-acceptance and the release of useless regrets.</p>
<p>I now look at Turquoise in a completely different perspective.  Being a lovely stone to wear it can also be such a wonderful healing stone.</p>
