✵ Cayce Readings ✵

Amethyst is mentioned sixteen times in thirteen documents.

Well that the entity have the stones or minerals about self when in periods of meditation, or in those periods when it may find itself the more easily attuned to the influences that may use the body, either in the healing forces that flow through—through its attunements, or through the visions and associations of the entity . . . the amethyst. For the color purple should be close to the body, and the perfumes or odors as of lavender have their influence—not in great quantity, but that which makes for attunements.

688-2

As to the stones . . . amethyst should be a part of that which would be about the entity—because of the very natural vibrations for the entity. For they will bring as an attunement the quieting, and the entity will find that whenever there is a feeling of physical depression, physical reactions that are as dis-ease in the body, the colors in any of these natures or forms will bring quietness to the body; as in having about the body . . . the amethyst color, in cloth, in drapery, in hangings.

1626-1

In the temple were to be found enormous semi-circular columns . . . inlaid with amethyst . . . 364-13, Report #3

. . . there were those mines of the precious stones . . . amethyst

. . . that came from the sea near what is now called Madagascar . . .

294-148

. . . In this temple, we find . . . amethyst . . .

364-12

. . . The omen the body should ever wear on the person is . . . amethyst—for their vibrations are better. But as the body should comprehend in regard to all such influences, it is as to what the body does about same, not that it relies upon such but knowing that such influences aid in increasing the ability or efficiency in the periods of exertion or activity . . .

500-1

The reading mentioned earlier describing the virtues goes on to list amethyst as one of the desired stones, and Cayce explains why:

. . . the seven virtues—hence seven stones, in the varied colors . . . the amethyst . . . patience . . .

533-20

Amethyst stones should ever be a portion about the body, either in amulets or adornments about the body. These in their very vibration will make for an influence that has to do with the entity in its innate and manifested expressions in its associations.

1035-1

Stones,—the entity should have the amethyst (the white) about self often. These vibrations will bring greater harmony, in not only body but in the mental attributes.

1986-1

In the choice of stones, do wear the amethyst as a pendant about the neck, as a part of the jewelry. This will also work with the colors to control temperament.

3806-1

More on Amethyst

Amethysts have long been associated with imparting patience and allowing people to release addictions with grace and ease. How could Cayce have consciously known this? This reading demonstrates the power of the information from the Source. We can attain true wisdom from Spirit and our ancestors concerning the benefits that various stones and minerals provide for us.

The Source mentions lavender in one of the readings. Amethyst is the color of the violet ray, which opens the third eye. If we could assign an essential oil to that same frequency, it would be lavender because it aligns with this energy and brings calm and peace to the user. The Source also mentioned amethyst’s ability to calm and quiet the body. By helping to eliminate what is not needed by a person, amethyst brings a sense of calm and peace to the energy body, allowing users to become stable and at one with themselves and their environment.

Amethyst Chunk Energy Bath

In my book Gemstone Journeys I discussed how I first discovered the healing properties of gemstones after meeting a shaman who taught me how to use stones to heal the body. He described how to give oneself or others an energetic bath by running rocks through the energy fields surrounding the body. By using your imagination, you envision the energy beginning to move the way you want it to.

Amethyst chunks are best used for the energy bath. Why? Amethyst has a higher frequency than many other stones, making it the best one to get things moving again.

Pets

I have spent a considerable amount of time working with pets. I have found that one stone above all others works well for them, and that is the amethyst. For the same reasons that an amethyst energy bath works on people, I believe that the energy of amethyst assists our pets in moving unwanted energy from their delicate fields in order to restore their natural balance.

I believe that pets are earth angels. They are innocents and as such they perform a great service to mankind by helping us transcend our suffering. Pets are willing to take on our “stuff” to help us shift and rise above any unwanted energy.

When our pets are ill, we owe it to our beloved friends to try to help them. Some stones would be toxic to use on your pet, so I always choose the quartz family—amethyst, rose, or clear quartz. You can place the stones in direct contact with your pet. I have even put stones in a horse’s stall to calm the horse down. I arranged for my ill cat to sleep on amethyst chunks until he felt better, and I used clear quartz with an unhappy dog that was in a kennel waiting for his owners to return. Use your imagination; it works! Your intuition will tell you what stone is best to use. While naturally gifted in this area, pets do need a little extra help when they are upset or sick. Gemstones can assist with these energy shifts.

Why This Works So Well

Amethyst is the carrier of the violet ray. As such it can assist the body to move lower frequency energy, while at the same time being energetically accessible to everyone.

By accessible, I mean that some stones have such high vibrations that they are beyond the perception of most people. Some individuals have a difficult time with certain stones energetically. And various minerals may have such a high frequency that some people may not even notice the vibrations at all.

For example, I used to own a beautiful harp. I wanted to play in public, so I called a local bookstore and went there to play. This harp was not the norm. It was an Angel Harp, expressly prepared to play very high-frequency, healing sounds. As I played, I quickly noticed something. Nobody could hear me! Even people who were only a few feet away never bothered to look at the harp or react to the sounds in any way whatsoever.

Quite some time passed, and there I was, playing the harp for the few friends who were with me at the bookstore. I was about to give up when a woman and her daughter walked over, and we had a pleasant chat. Eventually, a few others joined in, but most people in the store had no idea that we were even there. It was like wearing a cloak of invisibility. What I discovered is that unless the people vibrated at a particular frequency, they could not receive the healing from the music. The two frequencies were utterly incompatible.

Stones are the same way! Some stones emit such high vibrations that people cannot notice them. Such stones work in particular instances, but for a mineral to be efficient and shift the vast collective consciousness frequency, it must normally be able to be perceived by most people.

Amethyst is noticeable to everyone and most people respond to it. I’ve seen this reaction for years at gem shows and shops. Whether or not people are of the mindset to understand consciously how stones can heal, most people react positively to amethyst. Such responses might include commenting on the beauty of the stone. That is enough to prove that someone is getting something from the stone. Amethyst has a high enough frequency, or as Cayce would say—vibration—that things will shift for the better for the person who sees or uses it.

Additionally, because amethyst opens the third eye center, there is no better stone for developing psychic abilities and becoming open to receiving information from other realms.

There is a Greek legend about a girl named Amethyst who travels to pay homage to the goddess Diana. On her way, she encounters Bacchus, the god of wine and libation, who accidentally strikes the girl down and turns her into a white stone. When Diana chastises him, he cries his purple wine-colored tears and turns her into the gorgeous stone that we know today. Ever since then, amethyst (meaning not drunken in Greek) has assisted those who suffer from addictions.

Amethysts help to quell our unhealthy thirst and bring us back into balance. Let’s face it—we all are hooked on something, even if it is good for us. Remember the old saying about too much of a good thing? It’s hard to admit at times, but addiction is often a part of the human experience.

As a hypnotherapist, I use amethyst stones quite often in sessions. Having the person hold an amethyst chunk can be restorative. Even though it is not being washed over the energy fields, it still causes a shift to occur.

Relationship issues are challenging for many people, and sometimes people become stuck in a bad situation because they cannot find a way out. Amethyst energy assists people who travel into past lifetimes to reveal the source events of painful relationships. The energy of amethysts can help people to see the higher vision and lessons of the past while gently releasing the karmic link in the current incarnation.

So if you find you need to release anything that is no longer serving you, amethysts will help a great deal.
