How do I use protection stones?
The best shield against others negative influence is your own attuned state with life. Gemstones emit vibrations that can help in becoming more in tune with the things that make up a secure and safe environment.
The first question you should ask when seeking protections is “What am I seeking protection from?” Is there a negative influence that can/will bring harm or negativity to your home/business, personal security, happiness, family or quality of life? First identifying these sources is an important step to begin knowing what you need to achieve that protection and security.

Is it your own negativity that you need to be protected from? People are their own worst enemy, think about the things that you sometimes think of yourself. If someone else said those things to you, you would be deeply hurt, so don’t say them to yourself. Some of the negative thoughts that you might have “I am so stupid, I am fat, I hate how I look, I am not smart enough to do this, I am no fun, I am a horrible mother/father, I’m not tall enough, not pretty enough, I am not a good enough friend, I not as loving as I should be, I don’t measure up spiritually. I am not loving enough to my family..” I am sure at some point we have all found ourselves saying something similar to ourselves in our head. If this is something that you struggle with regularly, then you should be wearing something that helps combat this negativity. A person who is fearful of losing love feels a need for protection from being hurt. This can manifest as jealousy, possessiveness, or commitment issues. This person is so focused on themselves that they are not attuned to the other person. This person would need protection form their own harmful obsessions. As long as your focus is on yourself instead of your environment and the people around you, you are leaving yourself open to attack. When you lose yourself in the service of others you will find that you are happier and less negative.

Aside from ourselves where else do we find negativity?
There are people in our lives that really do threaten our happiness. When you find yourself ‘down’ or less cheerful in certain environments or when you are around certain people, you need to protect yourself. Sometimes the easiest way is to stay away from that environment; however this is not always an option. Sometimes it is your work environment and you can’t always leave your job. I know in my line of work there are people that if I allow them they really drain me and pull me down to their level. That is why I found it easiest to wear stones. You can present them with a stone that might help clear up their negativity, or you can wear a stone to protect yourself.
Flourite on your desk would be an excellent way to shield yourself from a disgruntled atmosphere in your work environment. Flourite is a wonderful ‘mental vacuum cleaner’ clearing the atmosphere of cluttered, confused thoughts and random negativity. Flourite is not generally considered a protection stone however it assists in making subtle discriminations regarding the kinds of energies and people that you allow to enter your energy.
Protection from being hurt (by a lover, friend or associate):
Rhodonite is a stone that brings reconciliation where two people have hurt each other. The first thing that comes to mind is a marriage. What a wonderful “rescue stone” to help heal old wounds and scars. Rhodonite helps one to recover unique gifts and open awareness on how to use these to benefit others. This stone has an outward focused energy to help give love rather than receive it.

Lack of strength
When we feel weak we are open to attack. Weakness allows us to feel vulnerable; this vulnerability is usually caused by a lack of self esteem or being overwhelmed by our surroundings. Rhyolite fortifies your natural resistance. It will bring about an increased awareness of your own inner strength. Jasper is a great stone to help bring endurance and stamina. It is the first stone I used when I was introduced to stones, and I found it to be a perfect stone for me and have since been very drawn to all the jasper stones. If you are working hard long hours and feeling drained jasper will protect you.

Have you ever felt as if the world was out to get you and everything you tried to do just wasn’t working? Do you get fearful watching the news or feel anxious of the things to come. Are you fearful of the future of our world in general? You are probably out of harmony with yourself and your environment. Being out of harmony can leave you win a feeling of being unsafe. There is much to be grateful for and much beauty all around us. If you are out of balance you are only seeing the negative/dangerous side of life.

Amazonite is a stone of supreme harmony, both with others and with you. It allows you the ability to see many points of view in any situation. It allows you to find and know your inner truth – this in turn opens the door to finding balance and harmony and opens your ability to discern between good and evil
Moss agate is another stone that is important in finding balance. It has wonderful grounding energy that helps you to focus on constructive actions and stabilize. This is a stone to help overcome addiction as it is protective in unstable states of mind.
Of course there are obvious protection stones such as agate, jade, jaspers, onyx, obsidian, turquoise, and tiger’s eye. But you can be creative in using gemstones with protection of a particular type in mind. Get to know the stones and what they do to help find insight into new help.
