The amethyst stone and the careful workmanship
You receive a pendulum whose weight is given by an amethyst stone. The violet shades of amethyst may differ slightly from one another by nature, since every stone arrives with a unique surface. The lower end of the stone is shaped to a point, which makes it comfortable to use as a pendulum.
The Flower of Life on the chain
At the upper end of the chain a small disc bears the gentle Flower of Life pattern. You hold this part between your fingers, and after the hand has come to rest the pendulum may slowly begin to move. The disc is heavy enough for the hand to remain steady, yet it does not weigh down the grip.
How you use the pendulum
Rest your hand calmly with the elbow on a stable surface and allow the pendulum to find its own movement. In a quiet room with natural light most people can tune in to the use more easily. The pendulum is a companion of inner attention in many meditation traditions, and you may discover its use at your own pace.
When to take it into your hand
It may accompany a quiet morning, the beginning of a meditation or the steps of a longer inner journey. Many customers use it for steady breathing before a peaceful moment, while others keep it on the shelf of their meditation corner and take it into their hand only rarely. The manner and frequency of use are left to you.
Cleaning and storage
Wipe the stone and the chain with a soft cloth. Avoid putting strong chemicals or fragrant oils directly on the surface, since they may reduce the shine of the metal part. Store it in a small soft pouch or a lined box so that the chain does not tangle and the stone is not scratched.
