IGNITE ~ your inner fire ~ Guru Beads, Copper and Volcanic Rock

All Crystals have healing and aligning properties

Guru Beads are sacred beads which remind us of our connection to our Inner Divine Guru <3

Copper has several important properties that make it incredibly useful:

Antimicrobial– Copper has what’s known as a oligodynamic effect on bacteria. Basically, it kills microbes. Scientists aren’t sure exactly how or why this happens, but they know that it definitely does work.

In fact, this is important when hospitals are made, as they make the door knobs/handles out of brass (copper and zinc combined) to minimize bacteria transfer.

Essential Mineral for Survival– Copper regulates the Thyroid, makes our bones strong, aids in the formation of new cells, helps with iron absorption, and is the primary element responsible for producing melanin in our bodies.

Because of copper’s important role in the body and its incredible healing benefits, Ayurveda (the ancient Indian health science) was quick to pick up on it and recommend its use.

According to the ancient science, copper was excellent for balancing the doshas in the body.

Their method of use included copper water vessels and brass jewelry worn directly on the skin.

For obvious reasons (as stated above), Ayurveda recommends that water be “purified” in a copper drinking vessel. This ensures that all the bacteria are killed and it’s safe to drink, and its healing properties are absorbed internally.

For jewelry (and especially bracelets), copper is often used to treat many of the most common ailments we have today by using a slower and longer lasting release through contact of the skin.

Headaches, arthritis, joint pain, and zinc deficiency can be effectively treated for with the aid of copper or brass jewelry.

In fact, many people swear by the use of copper bracelets, especially for treatment of arthritis.

Basalt is an igneous volcanic rock that is basically molten lava that has solidified under intense heat and pressure. Basalt can be any color from grey to black. Basalt is also known as Lava Rock.

Since basalt is formed from molten lava, and molten lava was once rock that is heated so much it was liquid, you can only imagine the strength, fire and power contained within basalt! Basalt is also known as lava rock.

Basalt is a stone of strength and courage, it allows one the opportunity for stability throughout changes in their life. If you are going through a lot of shifts in your life then basalt would be a helpful stone for you. Basalt helps to diminish the negative aspects of one’s character and allow us one to see where modification of your character can be helpful.

Since basalt was once molten lava, it has the power of fire within. One drawn to basalt may need some fire her energy into their life.
