From enhancing meditation practices to healing the wounds caused by abuse, from opening the heart 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 system.

Although Renee intends all of her jewelry to provide daily stone medicine, she 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 she created Stone Medicine Beads (typically worn around the neck or wrapped several times around the wrist).

First, she has an initial confidential meeting with her client about the kind of healing desired. Renee then embarks on a Shamanic dream journey to discover the path to the client’s unique healing with stone medicine. During this process she also works with the phases of the moon and the aspect of the Goddess that best reflect the client's needs.

These medicine/prayer beads are then worked with by the individual, either through daily wearing, or through ritual.

Renee has been creating Stone Medicine Beads for several years now and is very excited about the healing and changes they have created in her client's lives. The first set was made for a friend trying to have a baby. After learning the medical reasons for the client's failed pregnancies, Renee researched the right stone for the situation and invoked a Goddess of childbirth. She also prayed into each stone that a healthy baby would be born. The friend’s son, Carter, was born May 2006.

Renee is more than happy to work with individuals in person or over the phone. Pricing may vary but she begins with a sliding scale of $125 - $200, this includes the meetings, meditations and the final piece.

Other happy Stone Medicine recipients say:

“I have been trying to integrate meditation into my life on a more consistent basis. During meditation several months ago I was given the message that I needed to do work with clear quartz. Renee's Stone Medicine Beads have led me to do more prayer and healing work during meditation; they offer themselves as a lens through which to communicate. “

“Stones that heal you? Riiiiiiight. It's safe to say that I was skeptical when Renee Bastet told me that wearing a piece of lapis would help my recurring headaches. But, what the heck! The stone was pretty and I figured it couldn't hurt. Not too long after wearing my lapis, my headaches receded! I became a believer!! Since then, Renee and I have worked with the stone medicine on a few other issues, all with successful results. Renee is extremely knowledgeable about stones and their properties and she's a patient and caring healer. She's incredibly intuitive and willing to go the distance when working with someone on their healing. She is truly magical.”

When Renee first explained Stone Medicine to me, I literally jumped at the opportunity to work with this powerful tool for self-transformation. I was going through a period of intense personal growth and change, and I felt that parts of me were literally pulling in different directions. My Stone Medicine, the reading that accompanied it, and the exercises that Renee suggested to help me use this new healing modality gave me a sense of re-alignment toward my higher purpose, re-integration of my longterm goals with my everyday life, and a sense of accomplishment in the work I had already done. The growth process continues, and I feel great about it!
