Edgar Cayce's Sacred Stones Read online

  Malachite can also help you to release negativity from the past in your present life as well as anything else that you are holding onto that no longer serves you.

  One of the interesting metaphysical beliefs about cancers is that this condition may be caused by buried emotions. For example, if someone holds a grudge against someone or cannot release a disappointment, then those emotions may develop into a physical dis-ease.

  When people suffer from any type of cancer, it is beneficial to release the past and learn to move forward. Malachite can help.

  Spiritual Properties

  Spiritually speaking, malachite can connect you to the energies of South Africa. You may benefit from the innate wisdom of that region through the ages or recall your past lives from that area.

  I am always thinking about traveling. I daydream about far-off lands nearly every day! At one point, that place was South Africa.

  After years of daydreaming and keeping Africa in the highest place on my bucket list, I finally went with a group of friends on a tour of South Africa. I will always remember when the plane set down for about an hour in a place called Dakar, located on the west coast. The moment we landed and I stepped off the plane, I felt the energy of the place rushing through the soles of my feet, and I knew I had arrived! The energy was extremely powerful! Something about Africa drew me in, and once I was there, I felt better in a way I cannot quite describe, only to say that the experience altered me for the better, forever.

  My point is that, in spite of how much I love to travel around the world, I believe that an easier way to connect with our global consciousness is to use the gem and mineral kingdom.

  Truly the cradle of civilization, it makes sense that the stones from Africa are powerful for healing and for imparting vital energy. African malachite is certainly no exception.

  How to Use Malachite in Healing

  You can carry malachite with you in your pocket, or you can lay it on the body, preferably over a shirt. Place your stone on the torso or directly over the liver, located on the right side of the body toward the top of your ribs.

  Exercises You Can Use When Working with Malachite

  While you are working with malachite, hold it or place it on the torso. Next, ask for any unwanted resentment or energies that are no longer serving you to be lifted up and transformed into a higher purpose.

  You may not feel anything at first, but just imagine that the stone is working and that those old energies are disappearing forever.

  You might also like to try another powerful exercise while placing the malachite on your body. It is the cord-cutting ceremony, reminiscent of the healing rituals of ancient Hawaii.

  Go ahead and lie down, or sit in a comfortable chair with your malachite nearby. Now, close your eyes. Breathe deeply, allowing each breath to lift you above the mundane world.

  Imagine yourself in a comfortable place. Notice a doorway in front of you, and then imagine that either someone who needs your forgiveness or someone whom you need to forgive walks through that door.

  Notice that the part of the person that shows up is his or her higher self, not the usual waking self. Imagine he is smiling at you and happy to see you.

  Now go ahead and tell him anything he needs to hear. If you are angry and have never been able to express that before, go ahead, and say it now.

  Once you complete this process, allow the person to speak. Imagine that he forgives you for whatever happened in the past or that he is now asking for your forgiveness.

  Can you forgive and let go? Allow the energy of malachite to assist you in releasing this new energy into the space.

  Take your time to finish the conversation. Next, notice an energetic cord connecting your stomach or solar plexus region with his.

  Imagine that a gorgeous angel floats down from above with a golden pair of scissors. When you hear me count to three, your angel is going to cut that cord, releasing all past resentments and allowing you to begin anew. Ready?

  One, two, three. Now, cut the cord.

  Imagine that a beam of pure white light comes down from above. Feel it move into the place where that cord was cut. Feel it move through your body, around your head, neck, and shoulders, casting a protective and energizing glow around you.

  Now notice your friend or loved one. Imagine that he or she is receiving this same healing. See how much lighter and brighter you feel, how much happier you are. Your friend should appear more relaxed and at peace. As you observe the newfound peace, notice how much more at ease you feel as a result of this healing.

  When you are ready, imagine that your friend walks or floats back through the door, much lighter than before.

  Stand there in the room feeling younger and more energized and refreshed than ever before. By the time I count to three, you will come back feeling refreshed and much better than you did before. Three: grounded, centered, and balanced; two: processing this experience in your dreams tonight so that by tomorrow morning you are fully integrated into this new energy; one: driving safely, being safe in all activities; and you are back!

  How did that feel? Did you let go? Very good. You may not notice anything right away, but over the next few weeks you will find that you are more at ease in many areas of your life. Good work!

  The wisdom of malachite or lapis ligurius is excellent for working miracles in your life. Don’t hesitate to try it.

  MARBLE

  Found in: Austria, Canada, England, Mexico, Spain, USA

  Named for: Marble is derived from the Greek words, mármaron or mármaros, meaning “crystalline rock” or “shining stone.” It is a carbonate mineral compound, normally consisting of calcite and dolomite.

  • Bible •

  Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood . . . and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 1 Chronicles 29:2

  Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble. Esther 1:6

  His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. Song of Solomon 5:15

  . . . all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, Revelation 18:12

  • Cayce Reading •

  Marble is mentioned 140 times in ninety-two documents.

  Although there are numerous references to marble in the Life Readings, many of these were given to someone who wanted to make imitation marble. I have omitted several other references regarding the Georgia Marble Company.

  As always, Source had much to share about this ancient material, describing marble in a past life that took place in Atlantis:

  In the one before this we find in the Atlantean rule. The entity then one of high authority, being then the ruler in that land . . . The urge from this is toward those of the arts and specially that of the work in those of stone, marble, granite, or of elemental forces in same . . .

  779-9

  Q: I turned in bed and beheld before me a statue in marble . . . It was a headless statue, such as are represented in marble of the Greek god Zeus . . .

  A: . . . two elements are presented to the entity, and the subconscious forces of the entity reason with self that back of the statue there must be that which would form or produce same . . .

  900-294

  . . . various forms of expression of individual ideas or ideals, in cast, in marble, in the elements that were used in same in the period, occupied that of the developing portion of the entity’s experience . . .

  275-25

  Before this we find the entity was in the Grecian land; beautiful of body, of mind, of abilities to aid many in gaini
ng an appreciation of music as was depicted by those in the pastoral scenes, by those who would put into marble and into paintings their appreciation of such beauties in those early periods.

  1823-1

  . . . the entity . . . gained the understanding of that attempted to be presented in figures . . . from marble, from iron, from brass, gold and precious stone . . .

  2108-1

  In the first, we find in that the love or the inanimate forces as express themselves in their inner being concerning those things that have to do with the beautiful, in those of marble or of cut stone . . .

  2790-2

  Cayce gave a reading to someone who was in Alexandria, Egypt during the destruction of the library there:

  The entity may, through the present experience, desire with self much of the wisdom which was lost through the destruction of manuscripts in that particular period, and these are the fears which arise in the entity from the marble mobbed rule. Thus ever the lawyer, or justice principle, is a part of the consciousness . . .

  More on Marble

  When traveling in Mexico these days, there are many “onyx” products for sale—everything from chess boards to figurines and statues. These carbonate rocks look like onyx but are not that material. The locals call it Mexican onyx. Geologically speaking, the two stones are not the same. Real onyx is a banded variety of chalcedony, as is agate. The Mexican carvings are made from marble. Regardless of what you call them, the stones are beautiful and are fashioned into souvenirs such as chess pieces, animal figures, pieces of fruit, and bowls.

  If you asked me to describe my personal experience in working with marble stones for healing, I would have told you initially that I haven’t used marble very much. That isn’t actually the case. I’ve had a marble piece in my possession for so long that I forgot all about it because it has been such an ever-present part of my surroundings. Among all the stones that have come and gone from my life, this marble piece remains with me to this day. Years ago a friend gave me a gigantic marble sphere. Although it was a nice gesture, and it is certainly a beautiful piece, I had no idea what to do with it. For that reason, I have tried without any luck over the years to release this piece to others. Because of the large size, the marble sphere has remained with me.

  Interestingly, one of the attributes of marble is steadfast loyalty. If you want to build a solid foundation for your life and establish greater stability, marble will ground you with a feeling of lasting pleasure and reliability.

  There is no coincidence that the elegant busts of famous people in Italy and Greece have been carved from marble throughout history. For one thing, that material is in abundance there, and for another, the marble allows the image of that person to be deeply ingrained in our minds in the most positive light possible.

  Any situation needing some positive spin control will benefit from the use of marble. Additionally, marble countertops and flooring in homes are examples of the fact that marble is a stone of abundance, reminding you to indulge yourself in life’s finer things once in a while.

  I’m not surprised to see references to Atlantis and marble in the Cayce readings. At a soul level, I often think about Atlantis. The image that always comes to mind is an open-air home with a gorgeous marble-floored outdoor patio next to pools of water brimming with dolphins that come to eat from my hands. The architecture is similar to Greece, with columns holding up the structure. Several raised walkways allow people to walk out into the middle of the turquoise water as if they are floating. Elegance, beauty, and durability are attributes of this stone. But just as Atlantis didn’t last due to the imbalances of the material desires over spiritual aspects, marble reminds us of past mistakes and the importance of bringing balance into all areas of our lives. It is certainly nice to live like a king every now and then. It is also important to remain ever mindful that being kind to others and living a good, spiritual life should take precedence over worldly concerns. Nevertheless, we inhabit a planet and are here to have a physical and material experience. Sometimes we can go too far off in the other direction. For example, we cannot serve our fellow man by staying in meditation all day long (unless, of course, we’re monks or nuns). Most of us are not in the priesthood in this incarnation, so it is best to strive for some balance somewhere between the spiritual and the mundane world. Marble will help.

  The other aspect of marble is its connection to Greece and Italy. If you are drawn to that part of the world, having a marble bust of an historical figure may trigger your memories of those early times. Many innovations and creative inventions that influenced history, particularly in the world of philosophy, began in Greece. Marble will draw out your inner philosopher and allow you to recall your former brilliance. It will help to bring that wisdom into the present for the betterment of humanity.

  White marble from Jodhpur was used in the Taj Mahal in India, and the walls of the palace were also made from marble. You may find that the stone draws you into those incarnations as well.

  The Hindu religion and Indian culture are fascinating. The people of India believe that we have lived before our current life and that there are consequences for one’s actions. They work to be peaceful in their inner world and accept what is theirs to do in this lifetime. Marble represents a form of purity and perfection, a state of nirvana that we can all strive to attain.

  MOONSTONE

  More on Moonstone

  Even though the Bible does not include moonstone, it was mentioned numerous times by the Source, who attributed the stone with bringing feelings of peace, security, and beauty to the wearers.

  Recently I completed another book on stones called Multidimensional Minerals that prominently features moonstone and labradorite, both minerals of the feldspar group.

  There is something magical about these stones. They provide interesting windows to other worlds. By windows, I mean physical mirrors that can be used to peer at spirit guides who appear with messages for us.
