Amethyst
Amethyst has come to be known as a power crystal with prolific healing powers which can be characterized as purifying, pacifying and transitional. Amethyst has the ability to transform lower energies into higher and acts as a healer at all levels of mind, body and spirit. The healing powers of Amethyst date back as far as the ancient Greeks who believed that Amethyst protected from the intoxicating effects of alcohol. The word "amethyst" is of Geek origin and is translated as- "amethystus" meaning not drunken, or intoxicated ("-methystos" from "methyein" or intoxicated, "methy" = wine).
Mental Healing
Amethyst as a healing stone contains sobering and calming qualities which allow this stone to be commonly associated with peace. Amethyst is known to calm and protect the mind. It soothes those who have engaged in constant rigorous mental activity. It has been deemed "nature's tranquilizer" by many healers because of it's effectiveness in relaxing not only the mind but also the nervous system. Those who wear amethyst jewelry and who have been recommended to wear this stone for healing purposes have done so because of its tranquil qualities and it's ability reduce negativity and alleviate anxiety.
Besides being a stone of tranquility and repose, amethyst is also known to enhance mental strength, stability, and vigor. It also is protective in averting the mind from psychic attacks and transforming negative energy in to that of positive and tranquil tenacity. It is also used to bring understanding of all that is transitional, especially death and rebirth. It can provide security and peace of mind (along with understanding) when a loved one is lost or reborn. It is said to also have a relieving effect on stress, grief, depression, emotional despair and ineffective communication.
Amethyst and the Chakras
Amethyst has identified as a crystal that functions favorably in clearing certain types of blockage and in aligning the Chakras. By transforming energies on all levels amethyst also has the ability to balance and stabilize energies located within certain Chakra areas. Amethyst is related to and found to heal and align ailments of the the 6th and 7th Chakras, which are the Third Eye or Brow (6th) and the Crown (7th).
Amethyst aides the 6th Chakra, Third Eye, by opening and heighten awareness, both spiritual and psychic. Its calming qualities help to awaken and ease stress in this area. It helps to also heighten perspective and allows development of strong introspection (inner-self view). Amethyst is used to also increase intuition and psychic development. The Third Eye is the energy center for all levels of consciousness for which amethyst aides the in the transition from a normal state of consciousness to a deeper awareness.
The 7th Chakra, or the Crown controls the energies used in any mental activity. Amethyst helps to relieve strain or tension in this area. It is considered a helpful aide in meditation and in the facilitation of psychic visual enhancement. It is used on the Crown to allow past life recall to emerge. It's tranquil sobering effect allows those who are energetic to relax. It also is a cure for insomnia and nightmares and makes the intuition sensitive to understanding that outside of scientific reasoning.
Physical Healing
Along with the many mental benefits of amethyst healing, there are also many physical afflictions for which the healing powers of amethyst are a remedy. As an elixir (solution as a medicinal substance) amethyst can be used to treat toothaches, skeletal discomforts, posture and other bone and joint-related sicknesses (like arthritis). In elixir form amethyst also cures problems within the stomach and digestive tract, the heart and hearing disorders. It has been known to treat various types of blood disease and balancing blood sugar. Amethyst as a healing stone or crystal is used to treat and heal problems involving the central nervous system. Amethyst is a treatment for both convulsions and neuralgia.

Re: Amethyst
I my Amethyst....it's really pretty, and not to mention it's my favorite color, but I've really not learned how to use any crystals yet. Usually I wouuld just hold it when I got upset, angry, or whatever, but now I don't touch it because Angie has touched it, and I just have a bad feeling about it, and now I have to get nasty Angie germs off of it, and all that good stuff, but to me it still won't be the same. I wish I had a place to get me some crystals. No where around me sells them, and I've not been able to find a site that I don't have to have a credit card to order from them.

Re: Amethyst
AmberLou,if you feel your amethyst has picked up some bad vibes from Angie,I've heard that if you place the crystal in running water,such as a stream,for a little while,it will "wash" the bad vibes away.I dont know that for a fact,but maybe someone here does.
Amethyst is also Iris' birthstone,by the way.

Re: Amethyst
AmberLou....I have a post on cleansing crystals, including any stone you have, in this post. No matter where you buy a stone or crystal, it should Always be cleansed, because other people have handled them, and they carry the energys of other people, and you need to cleanse it and make it your own!! Once it is cleansed, no matter who has handled it, it will then be yours again. Please read the posts that are posted about taking care of your stones and crystals posted here!!

Re: Amethyst
What gets me tho is even when Tawn handled it, I was fine with it....I dunno if it's where I trust Tawn, and we just have that connection between us, or what, but after I noticed it was moved I touched it one time, and I didn't even wanna touch it then. I hate to touch my book of shadows that I had because she moved it. I had to go buy me another book to write everything I had in the other one in because I don't wanna touch it. I hate to touch it to even write it in the other book I have.
And BTW...where has Iris been....Haven't we been missin her around here lately? Maybe it's just me not with the program...who knows...lol
