The Stone- Vipasana Group

Edel Bolger O'Hora

​In my last article I was talking about spiritual alchemy being the art of transformation, inner liberation and change. Achieving this in Yoga can take people a life time to achieve a state of enlightenment, or soulful awareness. Isn’t that what we came to earth to do? Learn things about ourselves on this cosmic globe!
 
Stone is represented in the ‘brow’ chakra. Ajna is set between the brows. It has no elemental association but is represented by the colour indigo. It controls your intelligence, intuition, wisdom and spiritual power. An open and balance Ajna allows you to notice the connections in this world and beyond. 

John O’Donoghue in discussing the four elements says, in the beginning there was silence. Everywhere the primal silence reigned. Then shapes and sounds began to  grow. Creation came out of nothing. It awakened us to presence in personality. Landscape is the first born out of creation. It is independent. Without landscape the human can’t exist. Yet the human want to dominate the landscape.  Yet, without landscape there would be no’where’. Without a where there would be nothing. Whereness is crucial to human identity, language, person or thought could not start without it.
 
Landscape remains while days, years and individuals disappear. The landscape absorbs tones, textures and rhythms of human living. It has absorbed the life-energies and the life-sounds of generations.
 
Stone joins the elements of fire, water and air together and makes sense of them. From time immemorial the four elements have been understood to sustain unity and substance of the world. Stone becomes vulnerable when it is standing as a ruin. Ireland is full of ancient ruins.  The ruins remind us to remember the past.
 
Ambika Wauters, Homeopath, indicates that the colour Indigo is healing in mental states of  confusion, pessimism and delusion and physically it helps with conditions like acne, pimple, swollen tonsils and high blood pressure.
​
Healing stones are Amethyst, purple florite and lepidolite.

Healing oils are Frankincense, Neroli and jasmine.

Finally, Stone is full of memory, nobody has walked or lived without the texture and tone of their existence being absorbed, gathered and preserved in stone. It transfigure the silence of time.
