Euclase Stone

For Inner Truth, Wisdom & to Overcome Negativity

Euclase is a beautiful blue stone that helps connect us with inner truth and the wisdom of the universe. 

Properties of Euclase: 
-It helps reduce arthritis pain 
-Promotes spiritual growth by transforming negative thought patterns into helpful ones 
-Helps us understand we all make mistakes
-Allows us to "see" the truth--lessons we're meant to learn from tough situations
-Promotes self-expression
-Connects the solar plexus (power), heart (love) and throat chakras (communication) to your own soul

It helps us reflect on events in our life (lived experience) to learn the lessons each event is trying to teach us. Keep in mind that many people learn the wrong lessons when things go wrong, like trying to exert dictatorial control when problems are better solved organically with respect for all; or thinking life is all about family when what really matters is having good, reliable people in our support systems, family or not. 

Reflecting God's love for us by developing a love so strong it's bullet-proof, like the Divine, seems to be the end goal.

Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, And do not go to your brother's house on the day of your disaster; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. --Proverbs 27:10

One with many friends may be harmed, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother. --Proverbs 18:24

Euclase looks just like Superman's green Kryptonite. (In the comic book Kryptonite, from Superman's home planet of Krypton, is the only thing that weakens Superman when he is exposed to it. It falls to Earth as meteorites.)

A good example is that jealousy, resentment and envy are clearly self-debasing feelings. Tolstoy made this observation in Anna Karenina in the scene in which the husband tells Anna at her sickbed he forgives her flagrant infidelity out of Christian charity, consciously choosing to not get mired in unhelpful, self-debasing ways of looking at the situation. In her delirium, Anna has just made forgiveness much easier by revealing her love for her husband whose eyes are just like their little son's. 

Why envy someone else when you have your own gifts and God given life's purpose?

Exercise:
There is a lie at the root of nearly all negative thoughts and feelings. Record any negative feelings that arise, and after praying for it to dissipate, try to find the lie at the root of it. Often the lie is judging others (we are never equipped to do so accurately), or judging ourselves instead of being more compassionate and forgiving, especially with ourselves.
