Blue Lace Agate is a wonderful healing stone. Modern healers tend to associate the stone's energy with peace and happiness. Its soft energy is cooling and calming, bringing peace of mind. This particular stone offers those who wear or carry it that quality known as grace. The ability to receive grace, or divine direction, is something most, if not all, of us have struggled with at one time or another. Grace is not always comfortable, however, and having it does not imply that the spiritual path is necessarily strewn with rose petals, but can get quite thorny indeed. Like all the agates, blue lace agate is a grounding stone that aids in calming the emotions, cooling the temper, easing tension, and facilitating communication, particularly in difficult situations. A stone that offers great poise, it helps you keep your head while all about you others are losing theirs. With it, you will find your thinking much improved and your ability to see the patterns of behaviour in your own and others' lives greatly amplified. In a very significant way, this energy enables you to connect the dots of circumstances and experience to see the bigger picture and to convey that breadth of vision to others. With its gentle power at work for you, blue lace agate is also said to foster love, loyalty, abundance, longevity, courage, and acceptance, while at the same time offering protection from negative forces. Blue lace agate's indefatigable power will do much to convince you and those around you that heaven is, indeed, on your side. It is particularly effective for activating and healing the throat chakra*, allowing free expression of thoughts and feelings. It opens the way to experience of the higher energies. This is one of the great nurturing and supportive stones. It will neutralize anger, infection, inflammation, and fever. Psychologically, Blue Lace Agate counteracts the repression and suppression of feelings that stem from fear of being judged and rejected. Judgment is often present in the parent—child relationship, both in childhood and adulthood. As a result, feelings are held back and the lack of self-expression blocks the throat chakra and may affect the chest—the feeling being of suffocation. Blue Lace Agate gently dissolves the old pattern of repression and encourages a new mode of expression. It is useful for helping men to release and accept their sensitivity and feeling natures. Mentally, Blue Lace Agate assists with verbal expression of thoughts and feelings and counteracts mental stress. Emotionally, the peaceful energies exuded from this stone neutralize feelings of anger. Spiritually, Blue Lace Agate clears the throat chakra so that the highest spiritual truths can be expressed. It is a stone that links thought to the spiritual vibration and brings in deep peace. HEALING: Blue Lace Agate is a powerful throat healer. Its property of counteracting blocked self-expression releases shoulder and neck problems, thyroid deficiencies, and throat and lymph infections. It lowers fevers and removes blockages of the nervous system, and treats arthritic and bone deformity, strengthening the skeletal system and healing fractures. It also aids capillaries and the pancreas. As an elixir, it treats brain fluid imbalances and hydrocephalus. Blue Lace Agate can also be used to enhance sound healing—it focuses and directs sound to the appropriate place. POSITION: As appropriate, particularly at the throat. |
