It can be used to stimulate the pineal gland and help you experience visions and precognitive thoughts during a meditative state. It facilitates travel through all spheres of existence, culminating in access to the akashic records. It is also invaluable when experiencing or releasing deep emotions as it calms emotional outbursts and upheavals - hence its name of Tempest Stone (although I feel its storm-tossed appearance also contributes to this - maybe something to do with the doctrine of signatures here?). It works by showing the emotional body the ideal flow while keeping it grounded into the flow of your life and its spiritual, physical and emotional needs. It shows your subconscious a new structure that does not recognise the blocks you feel in your relationships. It helps heal the physical as it releases emotional restrictions on using your powers of healing yourself and others. Pietersite is particularly helpful for spiritual teachers and channels as it allows them a clearer use of the ideal flow of their energy, reducing fatigue and overwhelm from working with others' energies. It reduces and relieves burnout caused by too intense a schedule of teaching or channelling and allows a clearer communication within the group by building a bridge of energies connecting each member into the ideal flow of what is being shared. Just holding the stone, or putting it on the solar plexus, enables you to reach a clearer perspective of the emotional energy being worked with. When the problem is more clearly understood, Pietersite helps transform its energy into its corresponding part of the flow of love. Worn over the heart it helps you trust yourself in using love and allows your heart to expand and release its blocks and fears. Placed on the throat chakra or the back of the neck it helps you align your conscious will with your soul's will. Used on the base chakra or the feet it grounds you into a practical appreciation of your place on Earth as a divine spiritual being with unlimited creative power to use within the Divine Plan. It will help any chakra to open and integrate its energy with the rest of the body, helping you learn to use the many dimensions of light available for your creativity.
