		<description>All that we are is reflected in the world we have created around us. In that sense, when we experience other energies, we are experiencing an aspect of ourselves, so theoretically we should be able to go within, discover, release, and heal that aspect and all is well. But, like any dis-ease that we have created with the power of our consciousness, there&#039;s more to it than a simple snap of the fingers. The beast can become quite huge and intimidating. It is a complex pattern of behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and belief systems that got us to this point in the first place.
So I think healing gemstones are the same thing--a reflection of an aspect of our consciousness. And if we believe the gemstone (or anything else) represents a part of us that heals and strengthens the vibration of Love, Peace, Joy, and Abundance within us, then that could feel like the right thing to do. But to think the gemstone has some power over us, as though it is what will save us or protect us, is a mistaken thought and belief.</description>

		<description>Minerals have a vibration, just like human beings. They can help provide balance when we are out of balance. We can be attracted to them just like we crave beef when our system needs iron or spinach when we need vitamin C and iron (don&#039;t quote me on that -- I&#039;m thinking Popeye). Citrine is a self-cleansing stone. It&#039;s like wearing the light of God -- or the creative force of the universe, if you prefer. It can restore you when you feel tired and weak, leaving you feeling loved and protected. When worn directly on your skin, it can start to feel too hot. Enjoy!</description>
