Protection Bracelets

Q: I wanted to ask you which are the best bracelets for protection: what color and rock you must use to protect and where can I buy a bunch of them to manage a very difficult situation we are going through with my husband. A: I’m sorry to hear you are having a difficult time, and hope the issue is resolved amicably and quickly. Yes, gemstones are associated with various different types of energy, and certain stones may be recommended to someone wishing to benefit from that energy. Amethyst, for example, is widely known as a highly spiritual stone, while tourquoise and peridot are often associated with prosperity. Rose quartz is popular for romance cures. For protection, agate, onyx, and hematite come to mind, but please be aware that I am not a gemstone expert. There are (at my estimate) about a gazillion different types of stones and a wide range of different meanings, so if you do a little poking around (Google “protection stone,” for starters) I’m sure you'll find other options. Dragon-Gate.com has some feng shui bracelets specifically for protection (just type “protection” in their search box and these will come up): Crystal-Life.com has very good quality products, at good prices, but I don’t know that they’ll have the specific type you are looking for. I’d like to caution against the assuming that the more bracelets you wear, the better. Piling on the bracelets can be seen as a lack of faith that one will work. These are subtle energies, and in my opinion protection (in whatever form you feel you need it) is a lot to expect from a bracelet, even “a bunch” of them, no matter what colors or stones they are made of. If wearing a particular stone makes you feel better, and that will help you to cope better with a stressful situation, then I see no reason not to do so. But no bracelet is going to “manage” a difficult situation for you. Feng shui accessories are not an appropriate substitute for family counseling or (should the situation be quite dire) a restraining order. I hope things are not that extreme for you, and you're simply looking for a little something to help you feel less vulnerable and more empowered. I don’t want to discourage you from wearing a “power” bracelet if you want to -- or to imply that "power" bracelets have no value (I'm fond of them myself!) -- but don’t expect miracles from it. Hope your situation improves soon, Stephanie R.
