Q: What should I know about taking care of my healing jewelry?
A: STORING YOUR AMULET. To minimize the amount of tarnish, store your pet's amulet in the Ziploc-type bag that accompanies your
order when the animal is not wearing the amulet. Tarnish can make your silver look anywhere from an odd brass color, to a copper color,
and even to black. If your pet is not drinking enough water, its skin will most likely release toxins which tarnish the silver. The condition of
your amulet is a good indicator of your pet's health.
Avoid storing your amulet directly on wood surfaces, because wood contains acids that can mar your amulet’s finish. Oak seems to be the
worst wood for this. Also, avoid placing your amulet alongside other metals, like pennies, and rubber—these, too, can cause tarnish and
damage.
Each handcrafted Healing Amulet can take a certain amount of punishment, but it is possible to bend the wire design if you’re not careful.
Before allowing your pet to do any rough-housing or physically-challenging activities, consider removing the amulet from your pet's collar or
bridle during strenuous activities.
We also advise that you remove your pet's handcrafted jewelry before swimming, or bathing. Some stones become dull or disintegrate during
excessive exposure to water.
CLEANING YOUR JEWELRY. The easiest way to clean dust and dirt from your amulet is to swirl it around in a small mixture of Dawn
dish soap and water. If you’re extremely gentle and careful, you may use a soft toothbrush to get in-between the stones. Rinse thoroughly in
clear water and then make sure it’s absolutely dry before storing it in a Ziploc bag. Cleaning your amulet not only clears the dirt away, but it
*resets* and cleanses the vibrational level of the stones that might have picked up negative energies throughout the day or evening. NEVER
USE silver dip or silver paste since those products could ruin your stones. Use an old soft toothbrush that you run under water, and then
scrub your jewelry piece lengthwise to reduce the chance for scratches and marring the surface. Rinse in cool water. Remember that
toothpaste has abrasive material in it, so use it sparingly. Hint: White toothpaste works the best; avoid colored toothpastes that are red, green,
or red-white-and-blue.
VIBRATIONAL CLEARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY. When your amulet starts feeling bad, or appears not to be working, then it needs
clearing. How will you know this? You may notice that your pet acts as if he or she is feeling pain. Relating this to humans, you might feel
pain in your hand if you put on a vibrationally-dirty bracelet or ring. Likewise, you might feel pain in your chest or neck area if your earrings,
pendant, or necklace have picked up too much negative energy. The same is true for animals and amulets.
Sometimes a piece picks up *funk* from your environment. For example, live concerts, other people's homes, and festival events are
extremely funky environments because the consumption of alcohol causes the dirt in people's auras to float around. Haunted places run
amok with *funk* both because they are usually in geopathic zones, and because ghosts like to "slime" people—making energy fields dirty to
both keep someone from being aware and to make someone physically sick. The known *de-funker* stones (clear quartz or carnelian)
usually don’t need cleaning, and wearing one or keeping one next to your healing stones will tend to keep your energy field and amulets
clean. The de-funker stones will also automatically cleanse the other crystals and transmute any negative energy that they may be holding.
The Hematite stone especially needs clearing on a daily basis. Failure to clear it often can bring on headaches and body aches, and eventually
the piece will blow up or shatter. If you really love wearing Hematite for protection of all types of negativity, make sure you buy two stones.
Keep one clearing next to a Quartz crystal stone while you wear the other, and then rotate them every day. Hematite is very brittle, so even
a little funk is very destructive.
Additionally, you can clear your healing stones or amulets by placing them in a glass dish for three hours. Don’t ever place your healing
stones or pieces in metal or iron dishes or containers. They cannot clear and reset themselves that way.
STORING AND CLEARING YOUR INDIVIDUAL HEALING STONES. The healing stones that we hand select for our amulets are
strong and durable under most normal handling conditions. The best way to store your healing stones is in a cloth bag. Our stones do not
scratch easily so you can keep them together, ready for use at any time. These stones do need to be cleared periodically by running them
under water or placing them in the sunshine.
All of our healing stone amulets can be popped into a pocket, placed into a silver spiral holder, kept on your desk, by your bed, or they can
be displayed in a glass dish anywhere in your home or office. You might also want to place a Blue Lace Agate Stone in your car to help your
safe journey and to ward of impatience with other drivers or traffic jams. Blue lace agate is a calm-inducing stone.
Q: Can you recommend specific stones that will address an illness or emotional issue that I have?
A: The short answer is yes. Since there are over 2,000 remedies that my healing stones can work for, I recommend that you send me a
message through the "Contact Us" form on my web site. Just tell me your pet's illness, or where the pain resides, or any emotional issue
that's evident, and I'll send you the name of the appropriate stones that will bring about the most efficient results.
Q: You talk about activating the stones when I receive them. How do I do that, and what's the purpose behind it? Can't I
just attach the amulet to my pet's collar or bridle without doing anything?
A: The purpose behind activating your healing stones and crystals is so that you can receive the highest energies from your stones as well as
dedicating them to do their work for your pet's self-healing. Naturally, if you choose not to activate the stones, they will still do their work
since they’re from the mineral kingdom and always carry out their purpose. However, it is YOUR purposeful intention that activates the
stones to work as healers on any level you or your pet may need now or at any time in the future.
ACTIVATING YOUR STONES. To activate your healing stones, hold the pendant or amulet in your hands. Close your eyes and
concentrate on the stones. See them surrounded in bright white light. Ask that they be attuned to your pet's unique frequency and that you
specifically want them to ... (fill in the blank with your intention). Make sure that you know beforehand what the stone's healing properties
are before stating your intention. When you purchase any healing stones or jewelry from our site, we include a short description of the
stone's natural intention and healing purpose. If you lose that informational sheet, just drop us a quick note and we'll be happy to provide
you with the stone’s properties or we will list the stones that are the most specific to your healing needs.
Q: On your web site, you state that you send healing Reiki life force energy into each stone before it’s shipped. What does
that mean exactly and why should I care?
A: Reiki is a Japanese technique that reduces stress, invokes peaceful relaxation and it also promotes healing. It is based on the idea that an
unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If your "life force energy" is low, then you are more likely to
get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, you are more capable of feeling happy and healthy. The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese
words-Rei, which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power," and Ki which is "life force energy." Thus, Reiki is actually "spiritually-
guided life force energy."
When I clear, cleanse and package each Healing Pet Jewelry amulet, I invoke Reiki life force energy to that piece so that its highest
intentions go with it as it travels to your hands. In addition, I send Reiki energy to each stone, based on the stone’s known intention. For
example, if you wrote to me saying that you had just been diagnosed with cancer and were having a hard time going through chemotherapy,
I would suggest a Smoky Quartz stone or amulet that contained Smoky Quartz, since it is known to protect against radiation and it takes a
person’s energy to the most perfect state possible, going back to before the disease set in. It also provides pain relief while it cleanses,
enhances, and protects the organs. Any type of quartz stone is a master healer and can be used for any condition since it stimulates the
immune system and brings the body into balance.
Q: How do healing stones (crystals) work?
A: As Judy Hall, author of The Crystal Bible states, "crystals work through the transmission of energy and the adjustment of subtle
vibrations." Crystals absorb, focus, transmute and transmit electromagnetic energy; after all, they have lain within the Earth's magnetic field
for millennia. They're like cosmic transceivers, stepping cosmic energy down from the spiritual level so that it can be absorbed and used by
the physical body. It is not certain, though, how this energy is passed between the crystal in the human body. The subtle bodies (collectively
known as the aura, biomagnetic sheath or etheric body) that surround the physical body are formed from energies that have a lighter
vibration than the physical body and are therefore invisible, but the physical body itself, which consists largely of water—an excellent
medium for the transmission of vibration—sends extremely subtle vibrational signals through its nerves and neural pathways. The subtle
bodies are linked to the physical body by the chakras—centers which mediate and distribute energy. But these can become blocked, which
leads to subtle disease, which have not been brought back into equilibrium and can eventually lead to physical disease.
Q: What Are The Causes Of Disease?
A: Disease is caused by the following factors:
• DAMAGED IMMUNE SYSTEM. The immune system is the front line of defense against disease. If it is not functioning well, then
disease and organisms invade the body.
• SHOCK OR ATTACK. If your pet receives a shock, whether it is at the physical, emotional or mental level, the chakras go out of
balance and the body reacts. If your pet is attacked, whether by viruses or by someone's thoughts, disease results.
• STRESS AND TENSION. Anything which puts a continual stress on your pet's system and which causes inadequate rest will
ultimately manifest as physical illness.
• EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION. If your pet has been continually drained by a person or a situation, then s/he has a lowered resistance
to disease.
• ANXIETY OR FEAR. Chronic anxiety and continual fear weaken the body. Anxiety is usually accompanied by loss of appetite and
irregular sleeping patterns. If depression is involved, medication may suppress underlying feelings causing disease.
Q: How can I best help my pet combat disease?
A: To combat disease, use healing stones on a daily basis. Choose to let him or her wear the amulet for seven days. See if the condition
improves. When you’re happy with the results, then choose another healing gemstone amulet and let him or her wear that one for seven
days. At night when your pet sleeps, you may remove the amulet and place it within three feet where he or she sleeps—on your bedside
table, or on any surface close to where your pet sleeps.
Healing gemstones provide a gentle, non-invasive form of healing that cooperates with your pet's body’s inner healer, a repair mechanism
that brings things back into balance or homeostasis. Working through vibration, and resonance in color, healing stones heal holistically and
dissolve disease. That is to say, they act on your pet's body, mind, psyche and spirit to restore equilibrium and rectify the underlying causes
of a condition.
Although healing stones work quickly for minor ailments, other conditions can take longer to heal. The habits of a lifetime and the ingrained
attitudes that can underlie a disease, for instance, will not change overnight but with persistence your pet's healing stones can transmute these
to bring about a lasting improvement in his or her condition. However, healing does not necessarily imply a cure. Stone and crystal healing
takes into account the fact that your pet's body may be learning through its condition and, if this is so, the crystals will support your pet as he
moves through the process.
The mind is closely involved in gemstone healing therapy work. Belief in the process speeds things up, but you do not have to believe, but
merely to keep an open mind to the healing possibilities for your animals.
