Whether we are aware of it or not, most of us start the day by making choices that will effect the way our day will unfold – for example on which side to get out of bed – or by choosing an outfit to match our mood. In the same way we can choose a stone or a piece of jewellery that resonates with us or corresponds to how we consciously want to create our day.

The easiest way to use gemstones for therapeutic purposes is to carry a tumbled stone in your hip pocket (or alternatively in a pouch on a long, adjustable string - worn under your clothing). Choose a stone with the colour or vibration that resonates with the quality you would like to enhance or modify in yourself. It’s energies will enter through your base chakra and along the spine into your whole body so that the stone’s energy can be utilised wherever it is most needed. Touching and holding the stone whenever it makes it’s presence known will create an even stronger bond. Placing it on the part of the body that it feels drawn to will allow it's energy to be felt more directly.

To experience a lasting affect from the stones it is suggested to carry or wear them daily for a period of at least 3-4 weeks with breaks of 2-3 weeks in between in order to avoid getting too used to them.
