AMBER
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Amber is a grounding stone,
It brings feet back down to earth.
It’s a cleanser and a healer,
And improves one’s sense of worth.

It’s a powerful protector,
And promotes self-expression.
It can elevate one’s mood,
And banish all depression.

It stimulates the intellect,
And boosts personal power.
A pine resin from ancient past,
That enriches present hour.

It can revitalize the chakras,
And absorb negative energy.
It aligns with your spirit,
In balanced harmony.

Amber’s a rich, golden color,
Which has other healing hues,
~ Flecks of cognac, red, or green,
That eliminate pain and blues.

It resonates with the throat,
And treats kidneys, spleen, and liver.
~ And as an antibiotic,
Its elixir does deliver!

It's a gemstone of Taurus,
And it’s Leo’s lucky charm.
This fossilized resin,
Has the power to disarm.

'Brings a care free, sunny disposition' --- I would say you match the color and meaning well!

Amber is one of my favorite stones - it also has a more intimate meaning for me - I love when the amber rivers flow through eyes-

Thanks for this delight my friend -

Thanks for a lovely poem and for the enlightenment. Maybe stones hold all the secrets of the past - I wish they could talk.

(does happy dance) Yay! Amber is one of my favorite gems too, and I even have one, yay! (kiss on cheek) Ever since I was a little boy, I have always loved crystals and have a few shelves stacked with them. Amethyst is my favorite of them all and is said to be a wonderful mystical, prophesizing stone! (smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
