Carnelian

[sasha_feather]

You know when you've been hella tired for two weeks, and your mouth and shoulder hurt very badly, sometimes you need to just go buy some jewelry, even if you are trying not to spend money. I went down to the Woo-woo stone shop and talked to the spiritual woo-woo stone lady. She told me to "open the bottoms of my feet, like the shutter of a camera, and connect down to Mother Earth." And then just let the toxins just flow on down to Mother Earth. And breathe in light.

I bought some Carnelian from her, a deep red stone that is new to me, but it's nearly the same shade as a lot of the clothes in my closet, and my bed sheets. She used the word "grounding" a lot, remember to connect to the ground. I told her I've been working on throat chakra and throat/mouth things; she said something about my lower chakras not being open, and all the energy was being caught in my throat. I liked her, and I like the stones a lot.

Funny. I worked packing for a merchant at Pennsic who sold beads and, while I didn't choose it (part of my pay was in beads), I found myself drawn to carnelians. I thought it was because it was orange, which is my favorite color. Oddly enough, I was really tired that year and wound up in the hospital with an infection.
