  Apophyllite      Insight 👀 intuition 🔅 vitality ⽣   Get yourself connected  Whether you get your power from Mother Earth or the Most High, pearly Apophyllite is a stone that encourages deeper spiritual connections.

 Apache Tears  Protection ⛨ Cleansing 💧 Grounding 찲 You shall be released  In the words of Bob Dylan, "Every man needs protection." Apache Tears - black, pebble shaped volcanic glass gathered in Mexico and the American Southwest - are guards of spirit and soul.  They are also the kind of guards that help spring us from those prisons we create for ourselves. The prison of unrealistic expectations. The prison of living in constant fear of judgement. The prison of a never-ending need to please with a cellmate always happy to remind you: "If you don't do A, B, and C, you will never get love." Call on the liberating power of Apache Tears to break out. Dig. Climb. Whatever it takes. You might get caught up in barbed wire, but real freedom rarely comes without a painful fight.  Rub on some Apache Tears. Use the stones as dowsing rods to find those places in your body that hold your sad. Then, revel in it. Soak it up. And, wring it out.

 You never win on accident. You win because you failed and you learned. You got back up. You are a champion. It takes winning habits. It takes knowing that you do not have to work 10-12+ hours a day to succeed and feel like a winner. When you go home after working so hard and having a long do you feel like you won? Do you feel like you are about to cross that finish line or do you feel like you are right at the edge and scared to go through? Maybe you even feel like "I work so hard but I still feel like I am at the beginning." You are not alone. Winning is peace. Winning is joy. Winning is mindfulness. Winning is healing. Winning is not materialistic. Winning is not saying you have worked yourself to the ground for what you have. Winning is having control over your destiny, your values, your feelings and your peace.
