Amber Meaning + Healing Properties
Technically our “Crystal of the Week,” is not a crystal or mineral! Amber can come in an array of beautiful colors, from orange, golden yellow honey, to brown, green, and red, which is made from fossilized resin from evergreen pine tree sap. Most amber dates back to 320-400 million years ago and carries a high vibration! When looking at a piece of amber, you may be able to see parts from the tree such as bark, and perhaps even debris of critters or whatever happens to be in the way of the tree ooze at the time. Yes, this includes insects! In fact, if you do find a piece of amber with a well-preserved, whole insect-it’s considered very valuable. However, a fair warning is that the “preservation of insects” can be imitated with types of resin, so be careful before splurging on pieces of amber and make sure they are authentic.
Throughout history, amber has been called a powerful manifesting tool to accumulate great wealth. It’s a must-have stone for relief of stress, anxiety, exhaustion, confusion, depression by discharging negative emotions into warm and cheerful thoughts. It is said to enhance creativity, relieve the physical challenges of allergies, arthritis, and joint pain. Used in many cultures to remove anything harmful/toxins from the body and replace it with beneficial energy, including bringing balance and harmony to the nervous system (brain, spine, and nerves). Working with amber can help you be able to set healthy boundaries in relationships, assist you to feel empowered, useful to recall past lives, be made aware of limiting beliefs & negative repeating patterns.
Amber is best known as an energetic clearing and healing aid for the Solar Plexus chakra, which is your power and confidence center, is located above your navel in the center of your torso, and below the breast area. You may choose to carry this fossil around as a raw specimen in your pocket, wallet, or wear it as jewelry. Using amber for healing purposes can include placing it on your Solar Plexus while lying down to clear the chakra or hold it in your hand or next to you in meditation. It is said this stone is particularly useful to repair and release energies of the mental body layer of the aura, in addition to creating a protective shield to deflect negative energies away from your body.
