Malachite. Such a beautiful and unique stone. I have never been a big fan of the color green until I found this stone and carried it around with me. I had this little guy in my pocket for about three weeks, having it with me the entire time. When I would lay down to sleep at night, I would often hold it in my hand or place it under my pillow. This small piece of Malachite packed quite a powerful punch. The feeling I initially got was a bit confusing at first. I almost felt the need to reject it. However, I had the idea to meditate holding it tightly in my palm and BAM! There it was. The reason I felt I should put this one down. It was because the Malachite was unlocking certain mental blockages I wasn't aware of having. With these new unexplored realms of my mind being opened, I felt a nice stretch in my brain. It was unpleasant at first, but over time I gained so many new understandings. Now, picking up the gorgeous stone isn't so bad. I take a few deep breaths and close my eyes. After about five minutes the Malachite has began it's process with my energy and I'm more accepting of that now. Malachite is said to 'raise ones vibration.' This statement is very true, at least it was for me. It really takes a very well grounded individual to do work with this one. At times, I could feel and would be aware of that raised vibration, often times it could be a bit much. Like having a swarm of bees in your head, dizzying and wonderful. Back in the old days, Malachite was a rare stone, not easily found. Luckily for you, if your interested, can check out your local metaphysical shop and ask about it! It's very fun to work with, and so pleasant on the eye. In fact, ancient Egyptian women used to grind these up and use them for eyeshadow! I don't suggest you doing this, for fear of the power being inhaled or possible rock flakes in your eye. If you would like to know more about my adventures with Malachite feel free to ask! I'm always eager to share more! Plus it's much more enjoyable when things become a group discussion. I look forward to hearing from ya! Love & Light, Cody Blake LionsLoveWarriors.tumblr.com
