Silver

MAIN PAGE

BACK

Silver crystallizes in the form of dendritic wires, scales, plates, masses/nuggets, and rarely, needle-like crystals. The color is silver-white which tarnishes to grey or black.

The occurrence of silver within a quartz crystal is not only beautiful, but rare. If one is fortunate enough to become an earth keeper for a quartz crystal containing silver, the uses are extensive. The properties of silver and the properties of the quartz crystal are combined to produce ‘dynamite ‘results.

Silver brings one ‘the advantage’ throughout life. It can be used to improve ones quality of speech and can bring eloquence to conversations. It tends to bring an air of culture to ones presence and to eliminate abrasive traits while promoting popularity.

It can be used as a mirror to the soul, one to stimulate seeing oneself from outside of the body. This sight is without judgmental attitudes and can provide for a stepping stone to the furtherance of that which the I ching recognizes as the ‘superior man’. It provides one with patience and perseverance to the tasks chosen and allows one to understand the underlying reasons for the tasks. It assists in increasing perception and helps to regulate the emotional and the intuitive energies.

It provides for a very strong connection between the physical and astral bodies assuring that one may always ‘come home’ from the astral plane. It tends to strengthen the ‘silver cord ‘which connects the astral body to the physical body providing for diminishment of the unconscious fear of the inability to return.

Silver is used extensively with the gem stones because the metal is able to both attract and retain, unto itself, those qualities which are emitted by the stone. The silver provides a steadying influence for the jewel. It is also used during the preparation of elixirs to energize the primary mineral for the use in the elixir. Occasionally, silver is placed with another mineral during the process of preparation of an elixir of that mineral.

It is known to enhance the powers of the moon and is an excellent mineral for use in energizing other stones during the full and new moons.

It is used to direct the energy of other minerals to the appropriate location. The malleability of silver is conducive to causing energies to bend, and to even become circular, such that the vital energy centers can be concurrently opened, stimulated, cleared, and activated.

It can draw forth negativity from the body while transferring the positive forces of the other mineral. Hence, it performs as a balancing agent.

Silver helps to cleanse the body via the pores, and to eliminate toxins at the cellular level. It can be used in the treatment of hepatitis, to increase the assimilation of vitamins A and E, and to ameliorate disorders associated with unstable vision.

BOJI STONES

MAIN PAGE

BACK







Here is an easy way to use and feel the healing energies of Boji stones to balance your energy field: Hold a Boji stone in the fingers of each hand. Now move the stones towards and then away from each other; you should feel a very subtle pulling and pushing sensation. If you do not feel this, rotate the boji's between your fingers and go through this procedure again. You may feel that the male stone feels better in your right hand rather than your left, or vice a versa. Keep at it until you can feel this pulling/pushing sensation. This allows you to become familiar with the energies of your Boji stones. When you feel the strongest sensation, take notice of which stone is in which hand as well as position. Once you feel you are ready. lay down and place the Boji from your left hand above your head and the other one below your feet. Close your eyes and visualize the golden healing light of the Boji stones as they work to release energy blocks and to balance/align your energy field.



THE BOJI STONE The Boji® Stone is the philosopher stone of the ancient Alchemy. The rock chosen to become a Boji® was rusting and rotting away. (It was dying). The rock needed special preparation to keep it alive. Through channeling, the founder was given wisdom from ancient Masters of Alchemy. She use the secrets of esoteric science in preparing the rock to become a Boji®. After cleaning the rock it is fed for many days. It is again washed, purified by astral light and then is activated by terrestrial essences. Then and only then is it a Boji®, a container of balanced energy and thamaturgic power. This then is the birth of the Boji®



HOW TO USE BOJI® STONES For balancing the body, it is best to use a pair of Boji® Stones, one crystallized male and one smooth female. Use the male on the left side of the body and the female on the right side. When using a pair of Boji’s®, start by holding them as you would two magnets. While holding them in your fingers, move them back and fourth from each other. If you do not feel a slight pushing and pulling sensation, turn one Boji® over and repeat until you feel this slight sensation. The way they are facing each other when you get the strongest feeling is the side of the Boji® that you lay on the body. Boji’s® are not magnetic, but they have a balanced polarity and do work best when the polarity is set correct. Boji’s® They can be used to balance meridian points of the body in place of acupuncture needles or accupressure. By applying a Boji® to a hurt area on the body it takes away pain and you will heal faster. You don't have to believe in the Boji® for them to work.


WHERE DID THE NAME BOJI COME FROM? The Boji® Stones had been waiting there for millions of years when Karen's grandfather brought her to them. This was not the discovery of their presence; others knew they were there but considered them to be worthless little black rocks. Rather, this was the beginning of the discovery of their essence and purpose. When Karen first saw the stones, she thought they were alive because she could feel the energy that had been locked within them since the birth of the planet-she could feel them wiggle like Mexican jumping beans! That was the basis of a mysterious feeling of connection with them which never faltered during what became her mission to prove their worth.

Karen describes her first encounter with the Boji® and the way they got their name-in her own words: "When I was little, probably three, I had a crow I named 'Boji®. No one knew where the name came from because I had been raised in close connection with animals and made mostly animal sounds at that age. However, people interpreted this as my inability to pronounce something correctly.
My grandfather took me to a mound of earth on his land that looked like a pyramid I saw these little black stones sitting on stems. I picked one up, held it, and felt it pulsate. I looked up at my grandfather and asked him if they were Boji's® You see, the stones were black and shiny like my pet crow's feathers, and they were surrounded by little mounds of earth that looked like nests. I thought they must have been eggs laid by my crow! That was the beginning of the name".

---

WHY BOJI STONES ARE CALLED MALE AND FEMALE The way that Bojis® were first found, there was one crystallized one in the center and 20-50 smooth ones around it. Karen decided that the center one was a chauvinistic and had a harem! The crystallized center stones are found as large as 5 pounds at the most. Females outnumber males in nature, males are usually heavier in weight, and males are "showier" than females in most species (for example, birds). Therefore, prices are higher for "males" simply because there are less of them. Each Boji® has an electromagnetic energy with a negative and a positive side. For purposes of physical energy balancing or healing, normally two stones are paired, one of which is crystallized or "male", the other is which is smooth or "female". The male stone is placed on the weak side of the body (either the side that is damaged, or the left side for right-handed people or vice versa). However, two smooth or two rough stones can also be paired. In this instance, the stone that is heavier should be placed on the weak side. Karen is now assembling twenty years of notes, knowledge and channeled information on the Bojis®. A book containing more detailed information on all subjects touched upon this brochure, especially the specific use of Bojis® for physical balancing and the healing of a variety of physical conditions, will be forthcoming.


HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE BOJI® STONES Handle them often and give them sunlight once or twice a week. They prefer the morning light of the red rays and the afternoon blue rays. They also like the rays of a full moon. If you desire to clean them, use baking soda and a toothbrush.


The following is from "Body, Mind and Spirit" Magazine, June 1989 The Amazing Boji Boji Stones are the newest rage since crystals ranging in color from dark gray to black, and on a rare occasion, beautiful rainbow colors. These oval stones come in pairs, male and female. Both are rough in texture and opaque. The male stone has tiny angular projections while the female is smooth. They are found among fossils and petrified bones near slate. As the rain washes away the slate, Boji's emerge on stems looking like rock mushrooms. Boji's are rumored to possess balancing powers and are excellent for healing. Those who are sensitive to vibrations of stones note an immediate sensation of energy when the rocks are held. It is claimed that the Boji's are held together by the energy within them which can be augmented by the loving attention of their owners, and if the stones are neglected they will gradually turn to dust. We received a pair of Boji's to test and most of the office staff felt a strong energy from them. One staff member successfully used them to relieve a headache.


The following is one authors scientific view of the Boji Stone. Other geologists think they are some form of meteorite! By Michael Nisbet As we transit into the new era of relative enlightenment, an interesting phenomena has become observable. Individually we aspire and grow spiritually, thereby collectively, then our range of contacts in all realms expands correspondingly. The interesting phenomena is that because of the accelerated growth that humanity is experiencing, "new" discoveries of minerals and crystals not seen before are surfacing on the market. It is no coincidence that this is occurring. These "new" discoveries are happening at an increasing rate and are exciting indeed! I could list several stones here, but will limit discussion to the Boji stone. The area is which they are found is an erosional area sculpted by climatic forces into a uniquely beautiful area referred to as the "badlands". This area covers many square miles. Eons ago, this area was submerged under an in-land sea, where countless marine organisms thrived. As time marched on, this sea began to dwindle and evaporate as the land began to rise and the climate shifted drastically. Consequently, the old sea floor was no longer covered by water and countless tons of sediment. This floor was covered by marine organisms that had flourished and died. Later, conditions were correct for fossilization of the shells and hard parts of various invertebrates, among them brachiopods. These brachiopods, after fossilization, became concretions. The iron sulfides in inherent in the decaying organisms attracted more sulfides in the environment until a rough disk or spherical shape or shell surrounded by original fossil. Eons later, through more earth changes, the metamorphic process of heat and pressure altered these concretions to the point that the metallic including trace amounts of palladium were drawn in. It is in the opinion of the author that this palladium present is responsible for the fact that the Boji Stones are effective healing stones. Palladium is a rare metal, more scarce than gold, or even platinum, and vibrates at a very high frequency. Rutgers University Geology Department did a study on Boji Stones and found that through kirilian photography, Boji stones were seen to have a very powerful electromagnetic energy field. Many stones were seen to have four nodal points of energy extrusion. I have worked with Boji stones for three years now, and have had an opportunity to objectively observe certain phenomena after some experimentation. It was observed that the Boji stones tend to catalyze a balancing process. For example, if an organic system such as the liver or the spleen were deficient or low in energy, the Boji stone could be held near that area and would tangibly stimulate it by channeling pranic energy. This would continue until a state of equilibrium had been reached through repeated applications. In addition, it has been observed that the Boji stones definitely affect a grounding energy. Boji stones are also useful when a person is around a lot of crystal energies, such as a gem show, or around significant crystal collections. The grounding afforded by the Boji stone prevents from crystal-burn out or over amplification. If the person tends to be a space cadet, the Boji helps them to remain more earthbound. I realize that my own perceptions and observations are subjective and necessarily limited. Having listened to feedback from many persons I have supplied with Boji stones, it has universally been observed that the Boji's are effective in bringing about a state of harmony or balance and that they do tend to ground energies. Further experimentation with Boji stones in the hands of many open minded and intuitive people will undoubtedly will reveal other attributes not yet discovered.

Metaphysical Properties of Boji Stones

• Primarily used to balance and align ones energy field.
• They aid in moving energy from the subtle body to the physical body.
• Help to recharge the aura and fill empty space with positive energy.
• Facilitate the balancing of the male and female energies in the body.
• Promote the removal of blockages to allow healing to take place.
• Assist in aligning all of the chakras from the crown chakra to the root chakra.

• When placed on an injured body part it helps to ease pain and provides for faster healing.
• Aids in eliminating excess aluminum that has been stored in the brain.
• Relieves the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and depression.
• Alleviates muscle pain and strains.

Boji Stones vibrate to the numbers 1 and 9. The astrological signs for Boji Stones are Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo and Taurus.

Interesting Fact: We have found that if a person has metal plate inside his body causing the pain, the Boji may not relieve pain in that area. But, the Boji will work through the fillings in teeth to take away toothaches

The Boji Stone and its metaphysical and healing properties.

The Boji Stone is as old as the earth. The formation of the stones and the creation of the earth were simultaneous thus making the stones millions of years old. They are primarily made up of pyrite, which gives them their blackish-brown color and are flat and spherical in shape. There have also been studies showing palladium in the stones. Boji Stones are derived from only place in the United States at Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Formation in Gove County, Kansas

Boji Stones are separated as male and female stones and some may even have androgynous qualities. Female stones are smooth and outnumber the male stones. Male stones are uneven and sharp with androgynous stones exhibiting qualities such as points and rough patterns along the surface. Boji Stones are small in size compared to other minerals ranging from the size of a dime to the size of a golf ball. The largest faceted stone to date is less than three carats in weight.

Boji Stones are most effective when they are used as a pair of female and male stones. Androgynous stones however can be used alone because their energy is equal to the energy of a pair of male and female stones. Boji Stones are effective when used in the healing of physical conditions but they are more powerful when used for their metaphysical properties.

BIRTHSTONES

The concept of twelve different stones was found shown on a breastplate (excavated from a tomb dating from about 400 BCE) that was worn by the high priest of Memphis in Anceient Egypt. Thereafter, the Hebrews adopted the idea, assigning a stone to each of the twelve tribes of Isreal, which their high priest wore in four rows.
The tradition evolved, with gems or crystals being assigned to the twelve angels, then the twelve apostles and finally the twelve months.
Birthstones cam into fashion in the eighteenth century.
Birthstones are worn to attract good luck and happiness and over time, become a repository of positive energies. Therefore, you may wish to have a special ring, necklace or belt buckle containing your birthstone that you can wear for special occasions. The stone will become infused with love and joy and act as a talisman.
Birthstones can accumulate health giving energies and just holding your special stone can make you feel less stressed.

Preservation of Dzi Beads

MAIN PAGE

BACK



During an interview conducted by Miss Sheng Mei`en of Cha Yu Hu (Tea and Teapot Magazine ) in early July 1992, I explained briefly how Gzi beads should be preserved. The following is an elaborate version of the points I made:

1. Wear the Gzi beads as frequent as you can. This allows them to absorb your body warmth and interact with the magnetic field of your body.

2. If you have many Gzi beads, place them on an altar table for better care and appreciation. Rub them lightly with your fingers to add warmth and brightness to them.

3. When stringing Gzi beads, part the beads with soft quality spacers to avoid abrasion or crashing. The latter will cause the beads to crack.

4. Before bathing ,take the Gzi beads off and placed them on an altar table or desk. Avoid wetting the beads too often otherwise the string will break easily. Besides, dampness is harmful to Gzi beads.

5. When changing clothes, handle the beads carefully. Do not drop them onto the ground otherwise they will break or crack.

6. Pay attention to your behavior. If you feel that what you are going to do might be disrespectful, take the beads off temporarily.

7. Protect the Gzi beads you wear. Do not lend them to others without a good reason or let others touch them.

8. When participating in various congregations, invite the Rinpoche (spiritual teachers) to empower your Gzi beads.

9. If any one of the Gzi beads you wear is damaged during an accident, replace it with another desirable piece.

10. Take care of your Gzi wholeheartedly and do not doubt them. Then you will know what they will bring you.

The Tibetans regard Dzi bead as the most precious living gemstone and it is the treasure offered to the royal family generations after generations. In Tibet, the ancient pure Dzi beads can be used for mortgage purposes in Banks or the City’s Credit Bureau. Therefore, to the Tibetans, Dzi bead is no different from cash. Because of their small size, they are easy to maintain and carried around, the royalty and the rich will exchange their domesticated animals, land and money for them. It is also not uncommon to see expensive goods being exchanged for Dzi beads.

Dzi bead is an essential ornament in a Tibetan lady’s adulthood and marriage ceremony. The quantity and quality of the Dzi beads can reveal the wealth of the family. Besides that, Dzi Bead is also a precious medical ingredient in many Tibetan medical dictionaries.

Dzi bead is the Tibetan’s most precious amulet. It is believed that devout worship of the Dzi Bead can remove hindrance of karma, receive blessings, prevention against stroke, guard against evil, improves vitality and increase wealth.

Strong Magnetic Energy

Dzi Beads possess nature's cosmic magnetic energy. According to a scientific study, Japanese researchers discovered that Dzi Beads contain 14 elements from Mars.

The hardness of Dzi is 7 to 8.5 on the Moh’s hardness index, slightly below the African diamond, which has an index of 10. Crystal’s magnetic wave is 4 volts whereas Tibetan’s Dzi Bead gives off 13 volts, 3 times more than crystal. The magnetic energy emitted by Dzi Bead is very gentle and is suitable to be placed at any human parts. It is perceived to be able to regulate blood circulation and reduce illnesses.

Myths and Legends The Origin of Gzi beads

MAIN PAGE

BACK





The sites yielding Gzi beads and the circumstances under which these beads were found are heavily invested with mythological and legendary elements.Given below are legends associated with the origin of Gzi beads:

1. Plankton from the Tethys Sea

In very ancient times,the land on which now stands Tibet was a vast inland sea known as Tethys Sea.Gzi were microscopic organisms drifting in the sea.In their original form,they were like mollusks and conches with a fleshy body protected by a shell.They could move about freely.Later,as a result of prodigious geological upheaval,the seabed was thrust skyward to become the Himalayas.The plankton died,their flesh dried up and their shells turned into Gzi beads.

2. Painted stones from India

A couple dwelling in the Himalayas painted designs onto a unique kind of stone from India to create Gzi beads.Since painting such stones involved elaborate skill and learning such skill was extremely difficult,the skill was lost after the death of the couple.

3.Meteorites from outer space

Meteorites fell from outer space onto the fields were refined and tempered into Gzi beads by yogic practitioners.

4.Snake-like living things

Gzi are living things that could move about like a snake. When they are found and touched, they will stop moving and turn into a string of Gzi beads. Legend alleges that where horses rest with their legs thrown up to the sky, there are Gzi beads nearby.

5.Appear in fields and in the dune of cattle and sheep

Gzi beads are ancient relics buried deep underground but geological movements in the course of time expose them on the earth surface. They are picked up by farmers during fieldwork. There are also Tibetan nomads trying to search the dune of the animals they grazed in the meadows in hope of finding Gzi beads.

6.Petrified insects, or the crystallized fossil of the sacred Khyang bird

7.Insects that can fly, run and crawl

Lamas use their long sleeves to strike down those flying and running insects which then harden into Gzi beads. As for those crawling on the ground, men will throw sand onto them to immobilize them. Then they will harden into Gzi beads. If the sand fails to hit them, they will disappear.

8.Gzi meadows

There are several Gzi meadows in Tibet.It is said that people with merits would see them flying above the meadow.After being captured they will turn into fossils.

9.Weapon of Asura

Asura belongs to one of the six classes of living beings.Its abode is deep in the ocean to the north of Mt.Sumera,the center of the Buddhist world.Asura always acts against the Sakyamuni Buddha and does not listen to the Buddha’s words.Therefore it is considered a non-god, non-divine and non-human being with a bellicose character.Gzi beads are its weapons.

10.Precious jewels of the gods

Tibetans believe that Gzi beads are the precious jewels of the gods who discard them to the human world when they become blemished. This explains why it is extremely difficult to find Gzi beads in perfect condition.

11.Gzi come in hoards

Such a legend circulates among the Tibetans in the Kham region. One day, A man herding yaks accidentally found a hoard of beautiful Gzi in the mountain. Many Gzi crawled around in their “nest”. He tried to capture them all but failed to do so .He then ran back to his village to fetch help. Later, he returned to find that except for a few Gzi, the rest had managed to escape from the nest. They could not find the lost Gzi despite repeated searches.

12.Gzi stream in Ngari

Legend alleges that there were Gzi beads flowing continuously like a stream from a mountain slope near Rutog in Ngari.One day, a wicked woman “cast an evil eye” at the mountain and the flow of Gzi immediately stopped. It is said that the spot can still be recognized. It is marked by characteristic black and white stripes like those on a Gzi bead.

13.Magic beads cast by Vajravarahi Buddha

During those early years when Tibet was overwhelmed by severe epidemic, Tibetans were plunged into an abyss of misery and they led a very hard life. Fortunately, the compassionate Vajravarahi Buddha came to relieve them by dropping from the sky magic Gzi beads. Anyone who were predestined to obtain them would be relieved from disease, calamities and bad luck.

History of the Tibetan Dzi beads

MAIN PAGE

BACK





Dzi made its first appearance during the period between 3000 BC to 1500 BC, in ancient India where Aryans inhabited. People at that time used to pray piously for gods’ blessing. They painted incantations, totems and other symbolic patterns in the ancient Veda (origins of various patterns on today’s Dzi) on stones to sublimate their spirit. Veda recorded, seriously tortured by geographical environment and natural calamities, people at that time prayed to gods for blessing and help, and naturally, “Dzi” emerged. Meanwhile, they intermingled various medicines with the motif of incantations and totems into stones in hope to get blessing and help from gods.

　　

Bead pronounces as DZI in Tibetan language, meaning beauty、authority and wealth, and reads as "Meiziga " in Sanskrit. However, it was piously used as a sacrifice to Buddha gods in the 15th year of Zhenguan (641AD) for Tang Taizong when Wencheng princess married Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo, Wencheng took one statue of Buddha from India as dowry. Later, this statue was housed in Jokhang Temple in Lhasa studded with over hundreds of Dzi Beads by Tibetan people, including three nine-eyed Dzi Beads, and scores of three-eyed, two–eyed, treasure bottle Dzi beads (also called immortality bottle Dzi), tiger-stripe Dzi, etc. At present, it is exhibited as an oblation in the Jokhang Temple hall in Lhasa. Historical records suggest that the grassland channel between Yuyuan and Tibet was an important approach for culture exchanges between Tibet and northern grassland. This channel has already offered service as early as in the 5th century BC. Long history, beautiful and mysterious legends along with Tibetan people’s piety for Dzi bead make Dzi bead passed on from generation to generation and an apple in people’s eyes.
