New year, New Beginnings<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As the wheel begins another turn into the year 2009, we all begin to think of new beginnings, fresh starts, and new year’s resolutions.\u00a0 To begin new ventures, or even to begin the ending of old habits, one must draw on inner\u00a0 resources of courage.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is no coincidence that January’s birthstone, Garnet, is a stone of courage.\u00a0 It’s strong empowering energy gives us the push to go forward…to do what we must.\u00a0 It gives our gut feelings support, and we know that ‘IT’,\u00a0 whatever ‘IT’ may be, can be done!\u00a0 One step at a time is the best way, but the first jump…the first step must be made.\u00a0 The energy and strength of garnet encourages\u00a0our spirit\u00a0on this path.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other\u00a0 than strengthening our courage so that we may eagerly move forward, garnet has many other talents.\u00a0 It is a wonderful healing stone as it cleanses and strengthens the aura.\u00a0 As all illness starts in the aura, garnet’s cleansing and strength can help to nip illness in the bud.\u00a0 This is best when garnet is constantly worn or carried so that it does not lose contact with the aura.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Garnet’s cleansing abilities are also useful when giving or receiving psychic readings.\u00a0 This is because our aura picks up gunk from everyone we come into contact with.\u00a0 If when\u00a0giving or receiving a reading, the aura is cluttered, things won’t be as clear as they otherwise could be.\u00a0 Garnet cleansing out the auric area helps in this greatly, however.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The most\u00a0widely seen\u00a0garnets are the red ones.\u00a0 This red can manifest itself in a manner of color ranges from a brownish orange to\u00a0 a lighter red, to a very deep red, to a red that looks black unless held under an extremely bright light.\u00a0 Green garnet isn’t as often seen, but it’s energy is very soothing.\u00a0 Rainbow garnet is a more rare variety, and very lovely.\u00a0 Like most of the earth’s children, garnet comes in many more colors than are commonly displayed in typical jewelry stores.\u00a0 Each is unique, powerful, and lovely, and should be remembered.<\/span><\/div>\n
