Stone Medicine with Renee
From enhancing meditation practices to healing the wounds caused by abuse, from opening up to love to working on self-awareness, Stone Medicine Beads have changed lives. We all walk on this Earth; we all feel the effects of the Earth's energy in stones, regardless of our belief systems.
After an intensive three-year study with Cybele (a.k.a. Suzette Rochat) I began to work with stones in a very profound way. I learned to meditate “into” and “with” the stones. It didn’t take long before I experienced mental, emotional and physical healing. My meditations became more easy and my prayers more powerful. I wanted others to experience this magick and healing too. Although I intend all of my jewelry’s to provide daily stone medicine I wanted to make something more intense that could invoke prayers and blessings for specific needs, as well as serve as a focal point for meditation. For this purpose I created Stone Medicine Beads (typically worn around the neck or wrapped several times around the wrist). First I have an initial private and confidential meeting with my client about the kind of healing he or she may need. Following this meeting, I embark on a Shamanic dream journey where I discover the path to the client's unique healing with stone medicine. During this process I also work with the phases of the moon and the aspect of the Goddess that best reflect that client's needs.
I’ve been doing this for over a year now and I’m excited about the healing and changes they have created in people's lives. I made my first piece for a friend who was trying to have a baby. She shared with me the medical reasons her attempts had been unsuccessful, and then I researched the right stone for her situation and invoked a Goddess of childbirth. I prayed into each stone that she would have a healthy and happy baby. Her son Carter was born last May and he is beautiful! ☺
Another client asked me to create a piece that would strengthen her prayer and meditation work; after receiving her beads, she said “My Stone Medicine Beads have led me to do more prayer and healing work during meditation and they offer themselves as a lens through which to communicate with the Divine.”

Tiger's Eye
Need a little courage?Has this been a challenging year? Feeling overwhelmed? Feel like you just can’t slow down? Tiger’s Eye might be the perfect gemstone for you.
Quite simply, this bold-looking, striated brown gemstone can give you courage. It can inspire feelings of calm security when there are many decisions to make, and help you see clearly through all the muck that can surround us during stressful times.
Tiger’s Eye gets its gorgeous striations from the Earth’s seismic activity showing us that life’s bumps and shakes can create amazing beauty and strength!
Quick note: If you’re feeling more anxious than normal, it may be because Mercury is entering Scorpio this month...and plans for to stay a while. You can read an article about this, written by intuitive astrologer (and my friend!) Barry Perlman, at www.astrobarry.com.

Like a car that was out of alignment, for a long time I had been noticing little things about my life and my mood that weren't quite right. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew that I needed a tune up. I had never considered stone medicine before, but when I met Renee and spoke with another friend who had tried the beads, I figured I would give it a shot. I met with Renee and she helped me decide what type of healing stones would be right for me. Her warmth and caring personality put me instantly at ease, and I couldn't wait to start wearing my beads.
At first the beads felt heavy around my neck, but after a few days I felt like I couldn't be apart from them. After I started wearing the beads, I didn't notice an immediate change in the way I felt, but within the first few weeks several of my friends told me that I seemed to be "glowing." Even friends who didn't know I was wearing the beads asked me if there was something different about me, and one commented that I seemed happier and more grounded.
In addition to wearing the beads somewhere on my body every day, I slept with them in a velvet pouch under my pillow. I can't explain it, but I had the strangest dreams on those nights. One thing that I had asked Renee to help me with was letting go of some issues from my past. I feel like a lot of those issues got worked out through my dreams.
Two months after I started wearing the beads, I met my boyfriend. We're ridiculously in love, have so much fun with each other, and plan to spend the rest of our lives together!
I no longer wear the beads every day, but I put them on when I need a boost, or slip them under my pillow if I've had a rough day. I'm so grateful for having met Renee and discovering the magic of stone medicine—it has changed my life!
