Insight

Insight helps you move beyond limitations regarding money and power. By bringing the energies of these issues to your brow chakra, it grants insight into both your financial situation and the true meaning of wealth. This necklace contains Lavender and Amethyst crystal spheres and 14-karat gold beads.

The increasing numbers and sizes of Amethyst spheres between the clasp and the front of the necklace help to draw energy from the rest of your body to your throat chakra and then up to your brow. Because of the unique way that Lavender, Amethyst, and gold are combined, the energies drawn to the brow relate to wealth, poverty, finance, and power. The presence of these energies at the brow chakra increases your awareness of them and grants insight into associated issues.

This necklace promotes insight into the spiritual aspects of these issues—for example, the karmic reasons behind your current finances or attitudes about austerity. The Insight necklace can also help you understand the role that power plays in your life, either the power that you wield over others or the power that others wield over you. With the help of these insights, you may also see ways to move beyond the limitations of your current financial position or your relationship with power.

Although power and wealth issues stem from mental attitudes, these issues also tend to manifest in the physical body. Because money is a constant concern in human society, it is safe to say that almost everyone's physical body has finance-related stresses. Money or power issues can manifest in many ways. Some people may have weakened organs or joints; others may have hazy eyesight or neck problems. The manifestation may be systemic and thus experienced as immune weakness or an overall lack of energy, or it may be experienced as stress on the lymphatic, skeletal, nervous, or muscular systems. This necklace brings the issues involved in these vague, hard-to-pinpoint ailments to your brow chakra, so that you may become aware of them. It also enlists the aid of your emotions and mind to make the changes required to resolve your situation.

Today few people have mastered an attitude of true detachment and balance regarding financial and power issues. Insight can be used as tool to help you find that balance through awareness. Insight’s gemstones will not find the balance for you, but they will open your awareness so that you can find it yourself.

Help for “Metal” Imbalances

Physical limitations can stem from imbalances associated with the metal element as described by Traditional Chinese Medicine. If your organ systems and energy flows associated with the metal element are out of balance, Insight will provide a stabilizing force. At the same time, it will bring to light both the causes and solutions for the imbalance. Insight can help resolve either an excess or deficiency of the metal element in your life.

The best way to experience the therapeutic effects of an Insight necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems. 

Time Guidelines

Insight 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 Insight 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 Insight necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems 2 – 3 times a week.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.

Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.

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.

Because of the unique way that Insight combines gems, gold, and numbers, the energies it draws to your brow chakra relate to wealth, poverty, finance, and power. Bonus benefit: Insight helps resolve imbalances in the metal element as described in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Therapeutic Quality Insight

Insight contains therapeutic quality Amethyst and Lavender.

Amethyst

Amethyst color occurs naturally in a wide range from light to dark purple. Therapeutic Amethyst falls somewhere in the middle of this range and resembles the vibrant purple seen in a rainbow. As Amethyst moves away from this optimal color and becomes darker or lighter, its therapeutic value diminishes. The lightest purple is not the gemstone known as Lavender but only a washed-out Amethyst.

Clarity also plays a key role in Amethyst quality. Flaws and inclusions, or foreign matter, detract from its ability to radiate its healing energy. A tiny amount of flaws in a sphere is acceptable. However, when evaluating Amethyst, be aware that flaws disrupt or block the sphere’s ability to radiate its energy in direct proportion to the flaws’ size. The exceptions are minor flaws that have a prismatic effect. When a sphere with these flaws is moved in natural light, the Amethyst displays a rainbow or partial rainbow of colors. This property is an asset. All other flaws and inclusions—especially cloudiness, dark flecks, internal fractures, or pieces of the rock matrix in which the Amethyst grew—inhibit the Amethyst's energy and should be avoided. Poor drill holes or any damage to the sphere’s surface, such as scratches, gouges, or chipped areas, also render Amethyst non-therapeutic.

To judge Amethyst quality accurately requires experience and the opportunity to compare many Amethyst specimens of different grades and colors. Amethyst of ideal color with no inclusions is extremely rare.

Lavender

The Lavender gemstone is a derivative of colorless Quartz. Yet, unlike Quartz, the finest therapeutic Lavender is not optical in quality. Rather, it contains three elements, all of which are present in the same sphere: lavender color, translucency, and patches of cloudy white or light lavender color. Each therapeutic Lavender sphere exhibits a unique combination of the three essential elements. They work together to fulfill Lavender’s mission and produce its effects.

Lavender Color: The lavender color defines the Lavender gemstone’s mission. The energy of the color lavender has an affinity with the higher levels of our mental, emotional, and even physical bodies. When each of these bodies is stimulated with the energy of lavender, the body awakens to its relationship with the next highest body, inspiring alignment and cooperation among them all.

Translucency: The translucency in the gemstone clears the path for Lavender’s energy to do its work. Without translucency, Lavender’s work slows down drastically. Although non-translucent Lavender can generate the necessary changes, its path through the physical and subtle bodies is greatly hindered.

Cloudy Patches: The patches of cloudy white or light lavender color act as regulatory components by encouraging alignment to unfold in a balanced way. Without these patches, Lavender promotes alignment without attending to the need for change to occur in a balanced, gradual fashion. The cloudy aspect also helps the physical body to regain its balance more swiftly after taking a step toward greater alignment.

Optical-quality Lavender, which is completely translucent and contains no cloudy white or light lavender patches, will bring about alignment at the greatest possible speed. In the hands of an experienced gem therapist who knows how and when to use such a strong force, it is an invaluable tool. However, to prevent the physical body from reacting negatively to such a forced alignment, optical Lavender should be worn only for very short periods.

The finest quality Lavender is free of contaminants. Black flecks, a brown or green tinge, or any foreign matter that muddies the lavender color lowers the quality of Lavender’s energy and diminishes its therapeutic effects. The energy of such Lavender cannot reach into the higher vibratory levels of the wearer’s being. While small splashes or pockets of purple coloring enhance Lavender’s effects, large or numerous dark purple splashes or any coloring that makes the sphere look like Amethyst are contaminants. Such spheres do not support Lavender’s mission. The finest therapeutic quality Lavender is extremely rare.
