Unakite healing power : We often think of the emotions as originating and residing in the heart, but another place where
they live, often imprisoned, is in the solar plexus. As young children, discouraged away from the full expression of our
emotions, we learn that shallow breathing helps us not to feel as much. The repression of feeling can become
automatic, and life, while perhaps less painful, also has less joy. Unakite can be very helpful in the steady release of
feelings long held in. An opaque coral and olive-green stone (two colors associated with the solar plexus), it consists of
three minerals: feldspar, epidote, and quartz. When one is supported by deepened self-esteem and self-awareness, it
is easier to allow old feelings to arise so that they may be released. Unakite lends another element to self-awareness.
In working with this stone people have noticed that they were able to go deeper than the physical symptoms of an
illness and understanding the mental and emotional sources for it. It is also believed to help release conditions, which
have been inhibiting personal growth. Used for enhancing weight (such as muscle) and other chosen parts. Very useful
for pregnancy as it promotes the health of the mother and baby. It works on a higher plane than the physical, going
beyond into the Spiritual world to find the true cause of disease and discomfort.
