Benefits of Mother of Pearl
Wearing a necklace of Mother of Pearl crystal spheres stirs and awakens the primordial memory of your origin in the infinite ocean of divine love. It stirs this memory in your thoughts, your feelings, and in every cell of your physical body. As your memory opens, this divine love flows into you, repairing the deep wounds created by unfulfilled needs.
Every cell in your physical body and every aspect of your mind and emotions has a primordial memory. Mother of Pearl stirs the forces that have kept this memory hidden. It is the memory of the time you were part of the sea—the unbounded spiritual ocean where all souls dwell.
As Mother of Pearl stirs your mind, it also enlivens the memories of recent dreams, making their symbols clearer and more easily understood. It also stirs your mind to look within and beyond itself to deeper levels of your being. As Mother of Pearl stirs your emotions, they become more balanced and harmonious. The sharpness of negative emotions, such as a sharp temper or the pang of fear, is smoothed and calmed. If you have difficulty expressing positive feelings, such as love, these feelings become stronger, more defined, and easier to express.
In your physical body, Mother of Pearl produces an overall calming effect as it gently stirs the life energy of your cells. Like waves lapping the shore, this stirring is steady, relaxing, and rhythmical. Overactive mechanisms throughout the body are calmed, and the flexibility of your cells increases, improving their ability to accept oxygen and life force.
All human beings have a natural, innate need to be cared for, nurtured, and loved. These needs are first felt in the womb and are most apparent in infants and young children. Even if most of our needs were well met when we were children, we do not stop having these needs as we get older. They are part of our very fabric. As infants, we need to be loved and nurtured in order to survive. As we grow older, these needs are not as critical for our physical survival, but they are absolutely essential for our emotional survival. As we grow into adulthood, our mothers are no longer there to fulfill all our needs for love and nurturing, and often life does not fulfill them either.
All unfulfilled needs become like holes in the fabric of one’s being. These holes can have many sources, such as a scarcity of attention received in childhood; not receiving the education one wanted; inadequate food, shelter or clothing; or the absence of a relationship that fulfilled the need for love. When Mother of Pearl’s energy has saturated the aura, it detects these holes. There, its vibration sings of the source of infinite love. Its song stirs within every part of us the memory of this source—the primordial ocean of love out of which we all grow. As our memory opens to this ocean, its love flows into us and helps repair the holes created by unfulfilled needs.
Sometimes, before these holes can be mended, you must acknowledge them and cry many tears. Mother of Pearl can help you with this part of your healing. It bestows the feeling that you are resting in the arms of a loving mother. Thus, Mother of Pearl helps those who need some motherly love, whether or not they are aware of that need. At the same time, it brings the security of knowing that the Mother within is always in your heart, ready to give you all the love, support, and comfort you need.
Energetic Protection from Negative Influences
Like a protecting mother, Mother of Pearl can help safeguard you from negative influences. When certain harmful frequencies enter your aura, Mother of Pearl either scatters or absorbs them. These include the frequencies of other people’s negative thoughts and emotions, as well as electromagnetic radiation and the harmful emissions of televisions, radios, and microwave transmitters. Although this protection is a side effect of Mother of Pearl’s energy, it is a profound one and begins to take effect within minutes of donning a Mother of Pearl necklace.
Energetic Benefits for Children
CAUTION: To prevent choking, do not allow babies or very young children to wear a necklace.
Because of its protective properties, Mother of Pearl is an ideal gemstone for young children. A child's inner being is delicate and precious; it is the foundation upon which they will build the rest of their life. In addition to their need for physical protection, a child's inner nature must be shielded and allowed to grow unharmed.
Mother of Pearl does not protect a child from the emotions that are important for them to experience. For example, a parent's discipline may be needed to teach a valuable lesson. However, if a parent or anyone oversteps the boundaries of healthy discipline into destructive anger, Mother of Pearl will deflect the energy of this anger away from the child. Thus, it can deflect the brutal thoughts and emotions that accompany abuse. If the child is wearing Mother of Pearl at the time, although they may cry and appear shaken, the inner core of their being will be protected.

How to Use + Therapies
Wear It Around Your Neck
In addition to wearing a Mother of Pearl necklace around your neck, you can use it for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery.
Time Guidelines
Mother of Pearl can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.
Cleanse Mother of Pearl Regularly
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Mother of Pearl necklace. Learn more about these methods.
Salt Bed: Lay in a half-inch of sea salt overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.
Salt Bath: Soak in a solution of two teaspoons sea salt for every half-cup of cool water. First lay the necklace flat in a bowl. Add water and then sprinkle the salt into it. Soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Then briefly rinse the gems with clear water before patting them dry.
Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant.
Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time.
Special Notes: Avoid clay cleansing or rinsing with plain water, which will dull Mother of Pearl’s polish.
Store the necklace separately to protect Mother of Pearl, which is a particularly soft and fragile gem.
When Your Necklace First Arrives
When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

What Makes Our Mother of Pearl Special?
Virtually all Mother of Pearl available today is bleached to mimic the color of higher quality gems. Gemisphere’s rare, opalescent, pearly-white Mother of Pearl is never bleached. Its natural shimmer allows the gems’ energy to enter the aura quickly and work deeply.
Therapeutic Quality Mother of Pearl
Mother of Pearl’s shimmering, reflective quality helps its energy quickly enter the aura. The more opalescence Mother of Pearl possesses, the more deeply it can work—be it physically, emotionally, or mentally—and the more clearly you will receive its benefits.

Chapter 29
Mother of Pearl: Stirring Primordial Memory
I closed my eyes and was greeted by the sound of waves and the cries of seagulls. Soon the waves I heard began to move through my body, sending a stirring, rhythmic motion through every cell. It was as though my cells were particles of sand on a beach, and waves of life force were surging through them, then receding and surging again. Then I let my attention go deeper, and I heard the sound of the water molecules themselves: they sang.
When I opened my eyes, I was not surprised to find Michael and myself by the sea. A small white cloud was moving toward us over the waves. When it arrived on the beach, I saw it was actually the transparent and shimmering form of a woman. Her face was wrinkled, yet her perfect posture and the love radiating from her aura gave her an ageless beauty.
She sat between Michael and me on the sand. She seemed to know Michael well, and they greeted each other warmly.
Turning to me, she said, There is no need for you to enter my aura. Just close your eyes, relax your mind, and connect with me on a deeper level.
Mother of Pearl is part of a seashell, the house of a sea animal. Every species has its own Guardian, including human beings. I am not the Guardian of the sea creatures in whose shells Mother of Pearl grows. I am the Guardian for the Mother of Pearl that has been harvested and fashioned in some way to be worn by human beings.
If you wish to know the history of Mother of Pearl, study the evolution of the sea creatures that bear shells: the mollusks.
Stirring the Depths of Your Being
My purpose is not for the planet. It is for the human beings who wear me. My mission is to stir. I stir the life force in the cells of the physical body. I stir emotions in the emotional body, and I stir thoughts and memories in the mind. This stirring helps remind my wearers of their true origin.
Every cell in your physical body and every aspect of your emotional and mental bodies has a primordial memory. I stir the forces that have kept this memory hidden, so that it may be remembered. It is the memory of the time you were part of the sea.
Now, if you have a scientific background, you may say, "Ah yes, human beings evolved from the sea. All creatures originated as single-celled organisms in the ocean." If you have a spiritual orientation, you may say, "Yes, human beings originated in the ocean, the ocean of love--that unbounded spiritual ocean where all Souls dwell."
There are many side effects, or results, of my stirring. On a mental level, I stir memories, especially recent ones. When memories are stirred, they are remembered. Specifically, I stir the memories of dreams, including daydreams; this makes their symbols clearer and more easily understood. I also stir the mind to look within and beyond itself. From this stirring comes the realization that, indeed, there is something beyond.
When I stir the emotions, they become more balanced and harmonious. I stir positive and negative emotions in different ways, because they are two entirely different entities. The sharpness of negative emotions, such as sharp tempers and the sharp pangs of fear, is smoothed and calmed. This alone allows the individual to experience greater emotional balance. Those who have difficulty expressing their positive feelings, such as love, will find these feelings becoming stronger, more defined, and thus easier to express. I also give the strength and support needed for this expression to take place.
When I stir the life energy of the physical body's cells, there is an overall calming effect. My stirring is relaxing, rhythmical, and steady, like the rhythm of waves lapping the shore. It is also like the motion of breathing, and it increases the flexibility of the cells. The more flexible the cells are, the more oxygen and life force they can accept.
My stirring also helps calm any mechanism in the body that is overactive. This effect may not be strong enough to help one sleep. Insomnia is often related to strong mental activity. I do not suppress mental activity; when I stir the thoughts, they tend to turn inward. I am calming, sedating, and relaxing, but I am not a sleeping aid.
I have another effect that is a specific result of my vibratory rate: I scatter or absorb certain negative wavelengths thrown at the individuals who wear me. These include the wavelengths of thoughts, emotions, and electromagnetic forces, as well as the emissions of televisions, radios, and microwave transmitters. These can all produce disharmonious effects on human beings.
These wavelengths are not homogenous; they contain different parts. Some parts I absorb, and some I can only scatter. I am able to do this because of the way my vibratory rate charges the aura. This action can be considered a side effect of my mission. Nevertheless, it is a profound effect of my vibratory rate, and it occurs when the wearer's aura is saturated with my energy.
When the Mother of Pearl vibratory rate has saturated an aura, it affects the wavelengths that enter it, as I have just described. It also affects certain other wavelengths that are already contained in the aura. These wavelengths are the individual's unfulfilled needs and desires.
Unfulfilled Needs
Inside each of you are needs, desires, feelings, and hurts. All of these are reflected from within you out into your aura. When Mother of Pearl has saturated your aura, it recognizes the needs and desires that are unfulfilled. It sees them for what they are--holes in the fabric of your being.
I shall explain. Human beings have a natural, innate need to be nurtured, to be cared for, and to be loved. These needs are first felt in the womb and are most apparent in infants and young children. Mothers and fathers are surely aware of all the love, attention, and nurturing a baby needs.
Yet people do not stop having these needs as they get older. They are with you for life. I am not talking about the need to own the latest invention on the market. The needs I speak of are part of your fabric. As an infant, you needed to be loved and nurtured in order to survive. Now that you are an adult, these needs are not as critical for your physical survival, but they are absolutely essential for your emotional survival.
No mother is perfect. I have been a mother myself for thousands and thousands of years. Not only have I had children of my own, but, as the Mother of Pearl, I have performed a motherly role for Pearl for a long, long time. Even with all this experience, I am still not perfect. Although we do our best, no mother can fulfill all the needs of her children. As children grow into adulthood, they find that Mother is no longer there to fulfill their needs for love and nurturing and that often life does not fulfill them either.
Your unfulfilled needs become holes in the fabric of your being. I am speaking of every unfulfilled need--every one. These holes may include the lack of attention you received as a child; an inability to receive the education you wanted; a lack of food, shelter and clothing; or the lack of a relationship that fulfills your need for love. For example, you may have had a relationship that went awry, or you may have loved someone who did not return love in the way you needed it to be returned. No doubt this created a vacuum, an unfulfilled need. It created a hole in the fabric of your being.
Mother of Pearl detects these holes. Then my vibratory rate sings the song of love, of motherly love, and I fill and repair these holes. The more you wear Mother of Pearl, the more effective I will be.
In the Arms of a Loving Mother
Often, it is not just my vibratory rate that is needed to repair the holes. One must often acknowledge these holes and cry many tears before they can be mended. I can help you with this part of your healing. Yet know that these holes can be mended, for my vibratory rate sings of the source of infinite love, and it stirs within every part of you the memory of this source. I am speaking of that primordial ocean out of which we all grow. It is an ocean of love. As your memory opens to this ocean of love, the love will flow into you and help repair the holes created by unfulfilled needs.
I give the feeling that one is resting in the arms of a loving mother. Therefore, I will help those who need some motherly love, whether or not they are aware of that need. When I am shaped into a sphere and worn by a human being, the person I belong to becomes my child.
Hence, Mother of Pearl is an ideal gift for young children. I will protect the child's inner nature from harmful wavelengths--namely, negative thoughts, emotions, or other influences, such as the radiation from television sets. Be aware, however, that if I am exposed to too much television radiation, I will become saturated in a very short period of time, and then my other effects will be weakened or nullified.
My protection will deflect the brutal thoughts and emotions that accompany abuse. I do not protect a child from the emotions that are important for a child to experience. For example, a parent's anger may be needed to teach a lesson or prove a point. However, if a parent or anyone oversteps the boundaries of teaching anger into destructive anger, I will take it upon myself to deflect this anger away from the child. Although the child may cry and appear shaken, the inner core of the child's being will be protected. It is important for a child's inner nature to be protected and allowed to grow unharmed and undamaged. A child's inner being is delicate and most precious, for it is the foundation upon which the child will build the rest of his or her life.
When the child reaches a certain age, my work will be done. The necklace size you choose for a child will one day be outgrown, and he or she will put me aside or pass me to a younger sibling. Then the child I have cared for will take the inner strength I have helped to protect, and he or she will build upon it. What the child builds on this inner foundation is his or her choice. As a mother, I let go.
As children change and grow into teenagers, a few will continue to enjoy me, just as a few teenagers enjoy their relationships with their parents. Adults are once again drawn to me, less for my protective qualities than for my stirring effects and the rocking, cradle-like feeling I give.
"What is the effect of your iridescence?"
The shimmering, reflective quality of Mother of Pearl helps my vibratory rate enter the aura. It is one of the reasons I saturate the aura so quickly. The more opalescence I possess, the more deeply I can work--be it physically, emotionally, or mentally--and the more clearly the individual will receive my effects.
One of my responsibilities is to assist the Guardian of Pearl. She needs assistance because of how Pearl has been used and worn by people in recent times. The Guardian of Pearl has withdrawn. She has been battered and beaten by the vibratory rate of cultured Pearls. Their vibratory rate dilutes and breaks down the power of the true Pearl. It also places strain and stress on her.
You will have one opportunity--and only one--to speak with the Guardian of Pearl. It is vital that her attention be kept on maintaining her strength. After her discourse, I will answer any additional questions you may have about Pearl.
The energy shifted, and the Guardian turned her attention away from Michael and me. She seemed to be calling to a force that lay hidden deep within the sea.
