Using gemstone spheres and adding them to your wiccan supplies can be incredibly beneficial for many reasons.
Gemstones in general have many different healing, protection, attraction, and purification based properties that by themselves can be quite potent. When added to your rituals and spells these effects can be two fold.
The benefit of gemstone spheres however are that they are good sized orbs and the energy concentrated within them is amplified. Being circular, gemstone spheres also make excellent tools for diving and divination purposes which will be discussed below.
Gemstone Spheres for Healing Purposes:
Gemstone spheres can have remarkable healing powers. Depending on the type of gemstone you have, or want to get, they all have their own innate abilities that can enhance your own power.
Whether you are looking for healing emotional, mental, or even physical ailments, gemstone spheres can be used to help these issues.
A good way to use a gemstone sphere would be to take the stone and gently roll it around your body slowly going from head to toe. Focus on your forehead, chest, and stomach in particular, but by performing this slow rolling motion will have the gemstone sphere’s energies go into and through your whole body.
This can be done as a prelude to a ritual, during a ritual, after a ritual, or all three depending on what you are comfortable with.
For example, if you were to perform a ritual to heal or purge negativity within and around you, a good stone for this would be the quartz gemstone sphere as quartz is incredibly powerful in eliminating negativity. You would take the quartz gemstone sphere and before you perform your ritual, roll it slowly over your body(ensure it makes direct contact with your skin) and say a prayer as you do so:
“Negativity within, you will leave
You have no more power over me
With this stone I purge you away
In my body you will no longer stay”
The above is just an example you may use, you can create your own if you wish, whatever is comfortable.
Using the gemstone spheres in such a manner is also very soothing and calming. Another idea would be to use them as a massaging tool as well. If you normally perform massages for friends or lovers, you can have them lay on their stomach and you can take your gemstone sphere and gently roll it up and down their neck, back, and legs which will guarantee an even more pleasant massage.
If you or someone you know is suffering from illness such as a cold, flu, or even something more severe, you can take your gemstone sphere and use it’s energies for this as well. Again, rolling the stone over the body is best, you can even have the person who is inflicted with the illness hold the stone as you perform a prayer or ritual for them. With them holding the gemstone sphere directly, they will be able to draw in the stone’s energies directly. One gemstone sphere that is excellent for ailments such as detoxify the liver, lowering blood pressure, fever reduction, speeding up recovery from burns, and can alleviate cramps is the Chrysocolla gemstone.
Divination Uses For Gemstone Spheres:
Gemstone spheres make excellent compliments to your crystal ball, scrying mirror, or pendulum if you use divination.
Many gemstone spheres have the ability to enchance your abilities as you are scrying and diving, so having a gemstone located right next to your crystal ball or scrying mirror can be very beneficial. One such gemstone sphere that promotes psychic awareness, enhances mental powers, and increases strength is Black Amethyst.
As noted, these gemstones can also be used for specific rituals and spells as well, being used as a sole tool or as a compliment tool. If you are performing a ritual for prosperity and to gain more wealth, you can use a Malachite Gemstone Sphere which promotes prosperity, wealth, better business, and to protect the money you already have.

We have to start with a slight problem of definition. The practice of massage varies significantly between different cultures. In some countries, it is not considered a part of medicine but serves a more social purpose, designed to improve mood and help people relax. In other countries, massage is fully integrated into the healthcare service as one of the many possible processes of physical therapy. In the US, massage would be considered a complementary or alternative medical treatment, i.e. it serves as a back-up to conventional medicine. Thus, when combined with other treatments, massage therapy helps to improve the mobility of joints, reduce swelling, ease muscle spasms and reduce pain. In accepting massage, the US medical profession is recognizing patients can get the best of both worlds: the healing powers of Western science and the more spiritual and relaxing powers of Eastern wellness. Massage is therefore increasingly made available to treat both physical conditions causing neck and back pain, nerve pain, etc., and also mental disorders such as anxiety, stress-related insomnia, etc.
In accepting massage in its hospitals, the US healthcare service is opening itself to the increasing body of scientific evidence showing massage as an effective treatment. Until a few years ago, the medical profession resisted holding clinical trials to test “alternative” remedies. Such studies as existed in other countries were treated with some contempt. Massage was nothing more that an indulgence in high-priced spas. Now the manipulation of the soft tissues by a skilled therapist is acknowledged to reduce physical pain, relieve stress and bring down blood pressure. The methods differ depending on the purpose of the treatment. In general, the therapist will press, manipulate and rub the relevant parts of the body. Most techniques rely on the use of the hands and fingers, but others use the forearm, elbow and, in a few cases, the feet. The pressure may be light and involve gentle stroking. Or it can involve the use of significant pressure to knead and reach down to deep layers of muscle.
If you are experiencing muscle spasms, i.e. an involuntary contraction like cramp that persists, the combination of massage therapy and the use of a muscle relaxant like skelaxin has been found particularly effective. This most commonly occurs in the back, buttocks and legs. It may be from a physical cause such as a herniated disk or sciatica with pain radiating from the nerve. The manipulation of the disk can rapidly reduce pain and improve mobility. As the more acute symptoms are relieved, the drug will ease the problems in the muscles and reduce the risk of further spasms. In the case of sciatica, more aggressive treatment may be required in the use of steroids or, if the pain does not subside, surgery. But, in all this, the therapist will be able to guide you through the process of relieving the acute symptoms and planning a rehabilitation regime to reduce the risk of the problems recurring. At this time, it is most useful if your doctor and the therapist work as a team. That gives you the best advice on the use of prescription painkillers and drugs like skelaxin, while receiving comprehensive physical therapy. It delays treatment and can lead to misunderstandings if you constantly have to move between different hospital or clinic departments.

The Tiger Eye stone can be cleansed before ever sending it to someone as a gift or shipping it to a new location. This will help to prevent it from carrying negative energies along with it. To cleanse it, the Tiger Eye stone should be kept in salt water overnight as a way to recharge its energy. Once it has been taken out of the salt water it should then be washed in fresh water and placed in the sun for 2-3 hours. This process should be done every 3 months at least. This allows the user to find their inner strength and light. The Tiger’s Eye stone should be protected from sharp blows or scratches so make sure to keep it in a safe place when it’s not being worn or used.
The Tiger Eye’s stone often comes in a variety of shapes and is worn more often in beads or pendants than other pieces of jewelry. The Tiger’s Eye stone often consists of golden brown and yellow stripes which gives it its unique appeal. It’s also referred to as the African cat’s eye or crocidolite cat’s-eye. It resembles that of a real tiger’s eye and received its name due to this.

Heartburn happens to people once in a while, and keeping it away or reducing its occurrence requires a degree of discipline and determination. After all, even the most effective natural treatment for heartburn amounts to nothing if the simplest tips are not followed correctly and religiously.
Heartburn is caused due to stomach acid spilling into the esophagus and irritating the unprotected lining of the esophagus. There are quite a few causes of the problem, and the treatment has to be an integrated approach. As the problem involves the digestive system, eating habits are the major cause.
Marshmallow root tea has an ingredient that soothes the linings of the esophagus, bringing you relief. A serving of up to three cups a day usually does the trick.
Heartburn, in itself, is easy to define. It is basically regurgitated gastric acid. That acid, once it is in the esophagus causes the burning pain that you feel. It can also do some serious damage, and if allowed to go on for a long time the damage can be permanent. Although heartburn is heartburn what are the things that cause it? Well there are plenty of them and they vary from person to person. Sometimes it is something like smoking or drinking (alcohol). Other times it is things that you eat, such as fatty foods or dry foods, sweets or coffee. There are about as many different things that can cause heartburn as there are people that have the problem.
Acid reflux is caused by a damaged or weakened lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and a strained esophagus. The LES is a muscle flap that is directly above the stomach and is responsible for keeping food and stomach acid in your stomach. However, over time and abuse, you can weaken or damage the LES which will eventually leak or reflux stomach acid
This common natural remedy has even been found in pyramids dating 3,000 years back! Obviously, honey has been around forever but did you know that there are unexplainable healing powers in honey. Honey has been shown to increase cell reproduction which could cause the esophagus and LES to fully heal. We recommend taking 2-3 teaspoons daily.
Second is to avoid alcoholic drinks. If you want the natural treatment for heartburn to work, stay away from drinks that contain alcohol such as beer and other alcoholic beverages. Treatment of heartburn in a natural way also involves staying away from acidic drinks such as orange and lemon juices. Also, avoid carbonated beverages and sodas.
The fourth way of applying natural treatment for heartburn, and particularly interesting, is to stop smoking. Treating heartburn the natural way requires the elimination, not only of smoking but also of products that contain high levels of caffeine. This means removing smoking from one’s habits, and reducing if not eliminating consumption of things such as coffee.
