Benefits of Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite helps develop inner freedom by neutralizing the destructive behavior patterns that restrict personal growth and undermine physical health. First, when you wear a necklace of rounded Rhodochrosite crystals, the gems’ energy neutralizes destructive emotional patterns. Then it cleanses any disharmony caused by the neutralization of the destructive patterns. Finally, its energy helps you rebuild a healthy, solid, and efficient emotional foundation. These three functions—neutralizing, cleansing, and rebuilding—all work together to promote inner freedom.
To understand how Rhodochrosite works requires some understanding of the energetic makeup of patterns. Behavioral patterns manifest in the subtle bodies as what appear to be thin lines. A closer look reveals that these lines are made of blocks positioned one after the other. One block is a certain cause, the next block is your response to that cause; the next block is a similar cause, the next is your response, etc. The more often you respond in the same way to a particular cause, the longer a particular pattern line becomes. As soon as you finish reacting to a certain cause, the next cause block starts to form. As soon as a new cause block is completed, it develops something like a magnetic charge that draws to it the response characteristic of that particular pattern line. The longer a pattern line is, the stronger its magnetic charge and the more strongly it directs you to react in the same way.
Of course, not all behavior patterns are negative or undesirable. Rhodochrosite affects only undesirable pattern lines. It changes the magnetic charge of the cause block at the end of an undesirable pattern line—ideally drawing a different, healthier response. When you first wear Rhodochrosite, you might find that you have a greater awareness of your undesirable actions and that these actions no longer feel like your most comfortable response to a certain situation. In other words, you may feel as though you’ve outgrown a particular response. For a while, you may continue to react as you always have. However, as time goes on, you will naturally begin to respond to the same cause in a different way. This will be the beginning of building a new, more uplifting and harmonious pattern.
Emotional patterns resemble an incorrectly assembled puzzle that has been sitting around and collecting dust between its pieces. When the puzzle is shaken up, the dust flies. Emotional patterns behave in a similar way. When unhealthy emotional patterns are formed, they tend to collect miscellaneous and undesirable energies—in other words, emotional "dust." When Rhodochrosite is worn, its energy sweeps across your emotional fabric, shaking up these unhealthy patterns and cleansing the dust from them.
When the dust has cleared, your emotional strengths will be revealed. These are the strengths that have been buried beneath the dust of emotional confusion and the needless emotional energies that clutter one’s life. This dust obscures emotional clarity and undermines clear emotional expression. When Rhodochrosite has cleared away the dust and debris, it rebuilds the puzzle so that all the pieces fit together correctly.
Rhodochrosite is a tool that can change your life. When patterns are highlighted, worked on, and given perspective by Rhodochrosite, they can provide the lessons needed to master life. Working with therapeutic quality Rhodochrosite will give you the opportunity to arise newborn in a new arena, where you can be the master of your own destiny.
The Influence of Patterns on Health
Emotional patterns feed energy into the physical body like lasers. The amount and type of energy fed depends on the attitude or feeling associated with the pattern. If the attitude is one of hurt, anger, fear, or anything else negative, then this is exactly what will be aimed at the physical body. If enough of these negative emotional energies are fed into the body, a weak spot will develop, and physical disharmony and disease will result. Rhodochrosite can help you stop feeding your physical body with disharmonious energies by resolving the underlying negative patterns and by creating new, positive patterns.
Rhodochrosite will also make pattern lines more flexible. When pattern lines become rigid, they restrict the flow of life force to related areas in the physical body, thereby weakening the areas. When you wear Rhodochrosite, your pattern lines will begin to loosen until they move with your breath, thus allowing more life force to flow wherever it is needed.
Building Self-Confidence
Rhodochrosite mobilizes, encourages, and motivates you to change your patterns. At the same time, its energy instills you with self-confidence. As your patterns begin to change, you will become stronger. The realizations that you can change your emotions, patterns, and reactions— and with them, your life— will also give you tremendous self-confidence. Some people who wear Rhodochrosite feel this greater self-confidence almost immediately. Others may need to experience several behavioral changes before this new confidence is felt. Consequently, at first they may be a little unsure of themselves. Continuing to wear the Rhodochrosite will eventually build their self-confidence.
Resolving Inner Conflicts
At every moment, each of us is subject to the myriad influences, perspectives, and desires of our inner and outer aspects. Somehow, we must manage the simultaneous demands of our physical, emotional, karmic, mental, and intuitive bodies as they strive to be expressed through our consciousness and actions. We manage this task by sorting through all these influences and categorizing them in some way. When, for some reason, our consciousness cannot categorize all these influences, inner conflicts develop. As the years go by, this collection of uncategorized influences grows, leading to a perpetual state of unresolved conflict. This conflict manifests as areas of tightness and stiffness in the physical body.
Rhodochrosite helps the physical body resolve the conflicts created by all the inner and outer influences trying to manifest through it. It encourages the physical and subtle bodies to work together with a singular focus as an integrated whole. In this way, Rhodochrosite affects the way we express ourselves and the very way we live.

How to Use + Therapies
Wear It Around Your Neck
One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Rhodochrosite 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.
Special Therapies
You can also use a Rhodochrosite necklace 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. Here are additional treatments you can perform with this necklace:
Inner Hearing Technique
A necklace of Rhodochrosite spheres is applied to the ears and brow chakra to help develop inner hearing. This therapy enhances the ability to hear the nonphysical sounds expressed in all of life's manifestations, including plants and gemstones. View instructions.
Resistance Release
This therapy helps release any mental resistance to the positive changes initiated by wearing a Rhodochrosite necklace. It also releases inner resistance to healthful changes in the spine and therefore acts as an excellent pre-treatment for any spine therapy. View instructions.
Inner Conflict Resolution
A Rhodochrosite necklace is placed on a localized area of tightness, injury, or other disharmony to help the body resolve the underlying inner conflicts associated with the area. By clearing these inner conflicts, this therapy sets the stage for a deeper physical healing to occur. View instructions.
Necklace Length
For maximum effectiveness, Rhodochrosite should be worn in a necklace that falls near the heart.
Focusing Rhodochrosite with Mental Intention
A mental declaration of the specific reason you are wearing Rhodochrosite will strongly focus the gemstones’ action on the patterns associated with that issue. For example, you could mentally declare that you are wearing Rhodochrosite to change the patterns affecting your digestive system. You should periodically remind yourself of your intent as you wear the necklace. This will enhance the action of the necklace for your intended purpose.
If no mental direction is given, the Rhodochrosite will work in a somewhat holistic manner. It will find the longest pattern lines with the most emotion and negative attitudes associated with them, and it will work on those first.
Time Guidelines
During the initial phase of working with Rhodochrosite, it should be worn 24 hours a day. At night, you can wear it or keep it close to you in bed. As long as the Rhodochrosite stays within your aura, it will continue to work for you.
This initial phase may take two to six months. By then, you will have attained greater emotional balance. Enough pattern lines will have been resolved, and enough new ones will have been formed that you may feel like you are starting a new life. You will have a new attitude about yourself and your health. Also, by this time—if other therapies have been properly supporting your physical body—you will probably feel much better physically and have made much progress in your physical healing. All these changes will indicate that the initial phase of Rhodochrosite's work is completed.
In the next phase, continue to wear the Rhodochrosite for at least a few hours every day. If you wish, you may keep it next to you while you sleep, so it can continue working with you through the night.
Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite
It is no coincidence that Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite have similar names. Wearing Rhodonite can help balance Rhodochrosite’s power. When you are undergoing the great changes that Rhodochrosite can initiate, Rhodonite can establish a foundation of emotional and physical stability.
Cleanse Rhodochrosite 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 Rhodochrosite 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. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.
Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of one hour at a time.
Special Notes: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull Rhodochrosite’s polish.
Store the necklace separately to protect the Rhodochrosite, which is a particularly soft 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 Rhodochrosite Special?
Gemisphere’s Rhodochrosite comes from Argentina. It displays a high degree of translucency and rich rose- to watermelon-pink color. Our Rhodochrosite is completely free of all treatments, making it unparalleled in therapeutic effectiveness.
Therapeutic Quality Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite occurs in a wide range of clarity from opaque rock to opalescent gem. If you imagine this range as a vertical line, at the very top is Rhodochrosite that is so translucent that the entire sphere displays opalescence; at the bottom is Rhodochrosite that is so rock-like and dense that its vibrations cannot reach beyond the physical level. Rhodochrosite that is rock-like or that contains rock matrix or any other foreign material, such as brown or black spots or blemishes, is not therapeutic.
Although therapeutic Rhodochrosite exhibits a wide range of clarity, its color falls within a relatively narrow spectrum—from watermelon- and rose-pink on one end to orange-pink on the other. The deeper and more vibrant the color of the Rhodochrosite, the more powerful its effects will be.
When working with Rhodochrosite, high quality is essential; the higher the quality, the better the results. Indeed, the more translucent the Rhodochrosite, the faster and more powerfully it will work.
Rhodochrosite can be divided into six grades of therapeutic quality:
Quality 1
Quality 1 Rhodochrosite displays the minimum parameters for therapeutic quality and thus will support Rhodochrosite’s therapeutic mission. It contains some white bands or spots and some mildly translucent areas. Its color is lighter than other qualities of Rhodochrosite.
Quality 2
This quality of Rhodochrosite has fewer white bands or patches than Quality 1 and displays some translucency.
Quality 3
Quality 3 Rhodochrosite has more translucency and fewer white bands or patches than Quality 2. It can even display some opalescence.
Quality 4
This quality of Rhodochrosite is clearly translucent and somewhat opalescent, with very few white bands or patches.
Quality 5
Quality 5 Rhodochrosite displays a high degree of translucency and opalescence with minimal areas of white.
Quality 6
Quality 6 Rhodochrosite is free or nearly free of white and is in an altogether different league. It is the most translucent and opalescent. The crystalline matrix of Quality 6 Rhodochrosite is a whisper of physicality. It does not recognize the difference between the physical, emotional, and mental bodies and therefore works with each of them equally and with the knowledge that each is a part of your whole being. Other therapeutic qualities of Rhodochrosite must focus on one level at a time, whereas Quality 6 can work on all aspects at once.

Chapter 8
Rhodochrosite: Developing Inner Freedom
Ruby's gaze was focused in the distance, where a tornado was forming. The other listeners and I had not yet seen it. Our attention was still on Ruby as we wondered whether she would continue her discourse.
Then we heard the sound. It was a thunder unlike any heard on Earth, and it grew louder as the tornado moved closer. I had a feeling this whirlwind was the manifestation of a Gemstone Guardian and wondered how I would step into its consciousness. How does one communicate with a tornado? I thought I should feel afraid, yet my heart was still so full of Ruby's love that there was no room for fear to take hold. So I watched patiently with the others.
As the tornado drew nearer, we could see that it was actually a swirling mass of translucent pink energy. It grew larger and larger, until it hid the entire horizon. Then suddenly it was upon us, and we were enveloped by it. The thunder was deafening. Flashes of white light in the pink whirlwind blinded me, forcing me to shut my eyes. The wind and storm did not disturb my clothing or hair. Instead, it moved through me, affecting me on inner levels.
Then the center of the tornado hit. The impact of the silence and calm was even more forceful than that of the raging wind. Beyond the stillness could be heard the distant sound of a single note. This sound was not a hum, nor a siren, nor a flute, and yet it was all of these. The pink and white whirlwind of thunder and light now spun around us. Standing next to Ruby, in the absolute center of the calm, stood a man with dark hair and deep olive skin. He wore white and pink robes.
"I am honored to introduce you to the Guardian of Rhodochrosite," said Ruby, as she stood and stretched out her hands to this man. The two held hands for a moment.
"He will discuss more deeply the patterns within the physical and emotional bodies," Ruby explained. "Whereas Ruby gives an individual the power, love, and desire to change patterns, Rhodochrosite actually changes them." Without warning, Ruby became a vortex of red energy. Then she disappeared.
The Guardian of Rhodochrosite waited until the group's surprise at Ruby's sudden disappearance subsided. A calm settled over the listeners. Then he looked at me and said, You know what you must do to relay my words to the people of your planet.
I was somewhat reluctant to approach him. Then his eyes caught mine, and I felt a flood of reassurance similar to the calm that had embraced the group.
It will be all right, he said. I gathered my courage and walked forward to the Guardian. Then I turned so I was facing in the direction that Rhodochrosite faced. I kept my attention on the sound of Spirit, which I had learned to trust so completely.
Greetings and welcome, Rhodochrosite began. Then he turned to Michael. I believe we have some focused business. I will do my best to answer your questions. You may begin.
"Can you give us a brief overview of your effects?" asked Michael.
Change. I cause change. But the changes I produce are not directed at the physical body. I am responsible for making changes in the emotional aspect of individuals. Nonetheless, these changes often result in alterations in the physical aspect of those who wear me.
There was a long silence. We wondered whether Rhodochrosite would continue.
You did say "brief?" the Guardian asked.
"Yes, I did," replied Michael apologetically. "Would you please give us more detail?"
Yes. When I am worn, I make changes. I do not wait until my wearer becomes strong enough to handle me. If a change needs to be made, I make it. I do not wait for the person to get under an umbrella before I rain.
The vibratory rate of my sound does one thing; the vibratory rate of Rhodochrosite itself does another. The thunderous sound I carry destroys the emotional patterns that restrict an individual's growth. It also cleanses any disharmony caused by the destruction of these patterns. Then the vibratory rate of Rhodochrosite rebuilds. These three functions--destruction of patterns, cleansing, and rebuilding--work together. I do not allow any work to be left undone.
My work can be compared to playing with a puzzle. When an incorrectly assembled puzzle has been sitting around for a long time, dust settles between the pieces. If the puzzle is shaken up, this dust will fly into the air. Emotional patterns behave in a similar way. When unhealthy emotional patterns are formed, they tend to collect miscellaneous and undesirable energies--in other words, emotional "dust." These energies further clog the emotions and prevent them from being expressed. When Rhodochrosite is worn, my thunder shakes up these unhealthy patterns and cleanses the "dust" from them. Then I rebuild the puzzle so that all the pieces fit together correctly.
"Can you tell us of your birth?" asked Michael. "Were you formed at the birth of the planet, did you evolve naturally, or were you brought here by others?"
When your body needs a certain chemical and it has the ingredients, tools, and energy to produce this chemical by itself, it will do so. For example, when you eat something, the cells in your digestive system begin to produce acids and digestive enzymes that were not present before the food was ingested. The Earth also has the power to manifest the chemicals or vibratory rates it needs when and where it needs them. Hence, Rhodochrosite was not brought here; nor was it formed when the Earth was formed; nor did it evolve with the planet. The planet manifested it, just as a human being manifests certain enzymes when the need arises. When the need arose, Rhodochrosite was born.
There is something else you should know. Your scientists say that the Earth is so many millions of years old. That is because they measure time as a constant. Actually, time has slowed down since the early years of the planet. Today, it may take several thousand years for a crystal to grow from point A to point C. A hundred thousand years ago, time on the planet moved much more swiftly. Crystals did not need the same number of today's years to grow from point A to point C. What might take a year to happen now may have happened in a week back then. In other words, the Earth is much younger than you think. But time is an illusion anyway, so in the end what difference does it make?
Human Disease/Planetary Disease
Within the Earth are secrets, powers, and abilities of which you are unaware. The Earth and human beings share a profound connection and similarity. Once people understand this connection, they will be better able to understand and master the forces of their planet.
The Earth is a living entity, a living creature. Gemstones are also living beings. A gemstone is made up of one homogenous pattern; I will call it one type of "cell." The Earth, like human beings, is made up of many different kinds of cells: its "cells" are the gemstones, rocks, and other elements of which it is made.
Why are human beings so similar to the planet on which they live? Because, among other things, they are born on the planet and have lived on it for thousands and thousands of years. The relationship of human beings and the Earth is so symbiotic it is uncanny. Everything the human race experiences is reflected in the planet, and vice versa. If you need to understand and cure a certain disease, look first to what is happening in the planet. In the future, physicians who dedicate their lives to discovering cures for diseases will need to spend many hours in the study of the planet's physics and "supra-physics." Yes, I am speaking of a new science: "supra-physics."
They will study this, because every human disease is reflected in the planet. Because the planet is so big, it is easier to see which planetary pathways need to be cleared to resolve a certain disease; it is also easy to see the relationship of these pathways to those in a human being.
"Can you give us a specific example of the relationship between human beings and the Earth?" asked Michael.
I am reluctant to speak. Yet I look to Spirit, and Spirit approves to a degree. So I will speak of this to a degree.
If you are thwarted in your attempts to reach a greater understanding of any disease, you must look beyond physical chemistry. Look to what is happening in the planet in a spiritual sense. When you look at the Earth this way, you cannot help but see the group consciousness of human beings. You can see how human beings and the Earth are related and the direction in which the two are going.
Also, you cannot help but notice patterns. Diseases do not just happen suddenly. They are the result of patterns. Every one of them--from the common cold to AIDS to the most elusive cancer--is the product of patterns. Many patterns are the responsibility of the individual; hence, the currently popular philosophy that you create everything and are directly responsible for everything that happens in your life. However, many patterns affect you that are not the direct result of your own actions. They are the result of your relationship with your planet, society, and other factors over which you have only indirect control.
When specific locations in the body become the repositories for the body's toxicity, tumors are formed. Tumors are isolated encasements of toxicity. Often the rest of the body will seem healthy; hence, the idea that you can surgically remove the toxicity or tumor and the body will be healed.
Look at the Earth now. Are there any spots on the Earth that are like cancerous tumors?
"Yes. Toxic or radioactive waste dumps."
I was actually thinking of some cities, where the toxic encasement forms a cloud of pollution encompassing the city. Looking at the Earth from above, you can see that cities look like isolated pockets of toxicity, indicated by the cloud or dome of pollution surrounding them.
Toxic Waste Dumps
Radioactive or toxic waste dumps are somewhat different, in that their effect on the Earth is different. Instead of forming a surface dome of toxicity, they act like an injection of a harmful substance into the Earth's body. The vibratory rate of radioactive or toxic waste is not limited by its containers, no matter what is used to encase it. Instead, it seeps into the Earth.
Usually, when human beings inject certain chemicals into themselves, at first they feel very good and even experience a heightened sense of awareness. Then what happens? They fall. Often this fall is harder than they consciously realize. Sometimes they don't even think they have fallen. However, their vibratory rate falls, and that is disastrous, because maintaining a high level of vibratory rate is essential to the maintenance of life.
When radioactive toxicity is dumped into the Earth, its vibratory rate is thrown into the surrounding "cells" of the Earth. For a short time thereafter, because of the nature of the radioactive material's vibratory rate, the radioactive energy acts on the planet like a hallucinogen.
I was not going to speak about this. However, since you mentioned it, I will say that radioactive waste dumps are more dangerous to the people of Earth than the most polluted city. Why? Because a drug addict is unpredictable. A cancer patient is much more predictable than a drug addict, wouldn't you agree?
Once you start injecting hallucinogens into a planet, you don't know what the planet will do. This is not good, considering what only the slightest variation in a planet's orbit or in the tilt of its axis would do to the climate of the planet. The slightest falter or misstep in the Earth's rhythm could bring planetary disaster.
Perhaps the only reason I began to discuss this is so that people will know what they are doing when they dump toxic wastes into their planet. Perhaps that was the whole point of this tangent. If I leave you with this awesome situation to ponder, perhaps it will give people more impetus to stop the injection of hallucinogens into the Earth.
In any case, diseases are caused by patterns. My role is to change the patterns that eventually cause disease. It is certainly a diseased individual, or group of individuals, who would inject their planet with a hallucinogen.
"One more thing. Does the Earth have the ability to resolve the effects of radioactive waste dumps?" Michael asked hopefully.
Look at the human drug addict, suggested Rhodochrosite.
"Addicts often need to fall before they really come to grips with their lives," said Michael.
Or the ones who love the drug addict help the addict before he or she falls. When a drug addict falls, you don't know whether the fall will just be a fall, or whether it will bring death.
Many forces love the Earth planet enough to prevent it from falling. Many individuals are even willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the use of radioactive substances. Yet, in order for the efforts of these people to be truly effective, they must work on the actual cause of the problem. They must work on the patterns that cause people to want to promote the use of radioactive substances and related technology.
Spiritual or positive forces that intend to make any kind of major change must work subtly. They must be in the door and working before the individuals who need to change even know that these forces are there. In other words, they must be established in the individual's consciousness before the person even realizes that the change is something to be resisted. This can also be true for changing diseases or for altering the course of conditions that are becoming diseases.
Creating Healthier Patterns
To understand how Rhodochrosite works, you must also understand patterns. Behavioral patterns manifest in the inner bodies as what appear to be very thin lines. A closer look reveals that they are made of "blocks" positioned one after the other. One block is a certain cause, the next block is the response to that cause. The next block is a cause, the next is its response, etc. The more often you respond in the same way to a particular cause, the longer that pattern line will become.
As soon as you finish reacting to a certain cause, the circumstances surrounding the next cause will start to form, until a complete new cause block is formed. As soon as a new cause block is completed, it develops a magnetic charge which draws to it the response characteristic of that particular pattern line. The longer your pattern lines are, the more strongly they can affect you.
Rhodochrosite affects the magnetic charge at the end of each pattern line, adding to it a small ball of energy resembling a little sparkler. Once the magnetic charge of the cause block has changed, ideally, a different response is drawn to it.
Usually this new response is not drawn to the cause block immediately. Instead, the next time you respond to a particular cause, you may simply find you have a greater awareness of your actions--that these actions no longer feel like the most comfortable response you could make to that situation. It may seem like you have outgrown that response. Yet you will still respond in the same old way, despite your new awareness. It will be like wearing a shoe that fits a little too tightly but that you continue to wear because you have not yet made the effort to buy another pair of shoes.
You might even respond the same way a second time; but this time the shoe will fit even more tightly, and the response will feel even less comfortable. By this time, you should be ready to buy another pair of shoes. "Buying a new pair of shoes" means deciding how you would like to respond differently the next time and practicing that response over and over in your mind.
Here is an example. Your father has done a certain thing for years, and each time you have responded in a certain way. Now you plan to respond in a new and different way. If you wish to heal yourself and your relationship with your father, the new response should be more in harmony not only with yourself, but between you and your father, you and Spirit, and you and life in general. Once you have decided what your new response will be, think of your father's actions and mentally practice the new response you plan to give him.
When you begin to react in a different way to a particular cause, you will form new pattern lines. Hopefully, these new pattern lines will be more uplifting and harmonious.
The Influence of Patterns on Health
I do not affect all patterns, because some are as simple and insignificant as the way, every morning for the past thirty-six years, you have brushed your teeth as soon as you woke up; then, before you did anything else, you washed your face and then brushed your hair. This same pattern, repeated again and again, is not negatively affecting your health. Rhodochrosite only focuses its energy on those patterns that have been highlighted by the mind. Your mind knows which patterns are adversely affecting you because it can look upon the emotional and physical bodies and see their needs.
Emotional patterns feed energy into emotional and physical conditions like laser guns. The amount of energy fed depends on the amount of feeling connecting the cause block to the response block. Whether this energy is positive or negative depends on the attitude connecting the blocks.
For example, there is little emotion in the pattern of waking up, brushing your teeth, washing your face, and brushing your hair. Because there is little emotion involved, little or no energy is thrown into the physical body.
If the attitude attached to a pattern is one of harmony, goodwill, and happiness, the energy thrown into the physical body will be positive. If, when you were a child, your mother gave you a big hug every time you did your chores, a strong pattern full of wonderful feeling would have been formed. Therefore, this particular pattern line and the activities associated with it now throw wonderful, good feeling into the physical body. They have an uplifting influence on you.
On the other hand, if the attitude connecting the response block to the cause block is one of hurt, anger, fear, or anything else negative, then this is exactly what will be thrown into the physical body. If enough of these negative emotional energies are poured into a weak spot on the body, physical disharmony will result. If unchecked, this disharmony will eventually manifest as an unwanted physical condition or disease.
One can stop feeding the physical area with disharmonious energies by resolving its associated pattern lines and by creating new, positive patterns. Gem-quality Rhodochrosite will assist in this process.
Another way Rhodochrosite assists is by making pattern lines more flexible or less stuck in the emotional body. When pattern lines are stuck, they restrict the flow of life force to the corresponding area in the physical body and thereby weaken that area. When people wear Rhodochrosite, their pattern lines begin to loosen until they move with the breath, like the ribs.
Self-Confidence
As your patterns begin to change, you will become stronger. You will realize the great power you have within yourself. Perhaps you will also realize that Rhodochrosite is only a tool; that it is simply the force which mobilizes, encourages, and motivates. For it is you yourself who have allowed the changes to happen. When you realize you have the power to change your life and to change your emotions, patterns, and reactions, you will feel tremendous self-confidence.
Some people who wear Rhodochrosite will feel greater self-confidence almost immediately. Others may start to behave differently before this new confidence is felt. Consequently, these people may be a little unsure of themselves at first. Continuing to wear the Rhodochrosite will eventually build their self-confidence.
When a tornado comes, it breaks things up and dust flies. Similarly, when people begin to work on their patterns, their lives start to change. They start reacting to things differently. The self-confidence they gain from wearing Rhodochrosite may encourage them to do and say things they've never done or said before. As new emotional patterns are expressed, other people, in their surprise at this new behavior, may react unpredictably. If my wearer is affected by the behavior of others, my work will be disrupted. Therefore, I protect my wearer from the outside influences that would interrupt or inhibit my work.
To counteract any disharmony created by my wearers' changes, I bring a harmonious force into the auras of those who wear me. This force touches their families, the people they work with, and anyone else close to them who might get caught in the possible dust storm. This harmonious force prevents a dust storm from occurring. Then it helps rebuild my wearers' lives by helping create even more harmonious and uplifting patterns.
Rhodochrosite is here to support people's overall growth by helping them rid their emotional bodies of past impediments, accumulations, and emotional "tumors." Indeed, I can help people make these changes and rebuild solid, efficient emotional foundations.
Rhodochrosite is a tool you can use to change your life. Conscious knowledge of how to use this tool will make its effects much more profound. Also, the more willing to change you are, the easier it will be for you to receive Rhodochrosite's benefits. Nonetheless, Rhodochrosite--like any gemstone--will work regardless of how aware you are of its effects or how willing you are to accept these effects.
"Can you speak about your future on the planet and how you will be assisting people? Can you give us a more expanded focus?" asked Michael.
Expanded focus! the Guardian laughed. That seems like a contradiction in terms! Yet one could say that the top of a tornado provides an expanded focus.
Although people may know they need to change and that Rhodochrosite will assist them, Rhodochrosite will not be for the many. It will only be for those who are truly willing to change. Often these are the people who have a very special connection with Spirit. They see the purpose of changes and why mastery of the physical and emotional aspects is so important.
It is not my choice that Rhodochrosite is for the special few. Each individual will have to determine whether he or she is one of these select few. This is because it takes a lot of strength to experience changes, and often this strength must come from Soul itself.
"Before we close, is there any other information you would like to share?" asked Michael.
I'm sorry, but nothing profound comes to mind. If you pay particular attention to what happens when I leave, you may receive some insights.
I have spoken of the power of Rhodochrosite. Let it be known that it is with great love that I wield this power. It is a love for Soul's freedom. Patterns can enslave an individual. Yet when patterns are highlighted, worked on, and given perspective by Rhodochrosite, they can give an individual the lessons needed to master life.
There is another who also has the mission of creating great change. We do not work together, yet our missions are parallel. This individual is the Guardian of what you call Purple Rainbow Fluorite. In order for you to understand the mission of this gemstone, it is best that you first interview the Guardian of Amethyst. Amethyst tends to come in his own time and in his own way, so I shall leave you now.
It has been an honor to be included in these interviews.
"May the blessings be," said Michael.
May the blessings be, answered Rhodochrosite.
I slipped out of his consciousness gently, as if I were being held and supported. Yet I wanted to hold onto this consciousness, for it was such a heightened one. I had clearly seen the pattern lines of which Rhodochrosite spoke. I had felt the Earth's pain when he spoke of radioactive waste dumps. And I had seen the profound relationship between human beings and the planet; indeed, we fit together like two perfectly matched puzzle pieces.
As the outer rim of the tornado was passing through us, I knew that this heightened awareness would be gone as soon as the tornado departed, and I was filled with sadness. Then Spirit reminded me that, by following Spirit and the light and sound within me, I could again reach these states of awareness and even go beyond them.
Then the tornado was gone. The sunlight returned, and once again we could hear the roar of waves and the song of birds.
"Let's see if Amethyst can top this performance," said one of the listeners. We all laughed and felt more relaxed. The experience had strengthened our group consciousness; somehow Rhodochrosite's presence had left us feeling as though we were each part of a team on a quest for greater knowledge.
