The word carnelian comes from the Latin word meaning “flesh” or “yellowish red”, which symbolizes bold energy and stimulation of the spirit. In Ancient times it was said  that carnelian could help timid speakers become eloquent and bold  and that  warriors wore carnelian around the neck for courage and physical power to help with conquering their enemies.

 Carnelian is a wonderful stone for self-esteem, courage, creativity, grounding and protection.

Now comes the real question.........

 Do stones really have energy, or is it all make believe? 

I get this question all the time. The truth is, it all comes down to what you believe. 

If you believe these stones or crystals can change your life, then they will, and if you don’t then they won’t. What it really comes down to is mindset. Michael Merzenich, a neuroscience Professor at UCSF, says that every moment we make choices through our thoughts, that affect our lives in a very real sense. What Michael is referring to is neuroplasticity, the brain’s response to the way we see our world, and these choices are the concrete that shapes our lives.

The Dalai Lama himself speculated that “pure thought would change the brain's activity, its circuits or even its structure” and was proven correct by Richard Davidson, Ph.D. He proved that “everything the mind does has a physical [mirror]”. Change your thoughts, change your life.  

Your mindset is powerful. Ask any professional athlete, music superstar, or entrepreneur.    Michael Jordan, Oprah, and Bill Gates all attribute their success to keeping a positive growth mindset.

My jewelry is made from the finest natural stones from the earth and they are all personally sourced from around the world. As I handcraft each piece, I make sure to set intentions into each one. These intentions are simply waiting to be activated by your mind. Each time you touch or see your jewelry, you have the chance to ignite the intention and unlock it’s potential. These pieces are token reminders of what you want to bring into your life. Your mind is more powerful than you imagine. While there is endless information about the legends of each stone, the real power comes from you. You bring change and goodness into your life. Start living up to your full potential, with these intention talismans.
