Stones and Symbols
Amber
Amber teaches the body how to heal itself. . .

Amber is a fossilized resin (tree sap) and is usually golden to yellow-brown in color.  Amber allows the body to heal itself by absorbing and transmuting negative energy into positive energy.  It emits a sunny and bright soothing energy which helps to calm nerves and to enliven the disposition.

It has been used as a symbol for renewal of marriage vows and to assure promises.  It has been said to bring good luck to warriors.  It acts to purify ones body, mind, and spirit when worn, carried, or used as an elixir.

Amber aids in the connection of the conscious self to universal perfection.  This helps the individual bring that which is desired into being.  It transmutes the energy of physical vitality toward the activation of unconditional love.  It is a sacred stone to both the Native American and Eastern Indians.  It has also been used in the fire ceremonies of ancient tribal healers.  It was burned, beginning in the medieval days, as a fumigant and as an incense to clear the environment of negativity. 

Amber has been used in the treatment of goiter and other diseases of the throat.  It has also been successful in the treatment of disorders of the kidneys and bladder.  In ancient times it was used as a penicillin-type remedy, ground and ingested or soaked (as in an elixir) and subsequently drunk.
