ATTRIBUTES: Pyrolusite has the ability to transform and restructure energies. At its most beneficial, and when consciously directed, it can restructure life. This stone heals energetic disturbances and transmutes dis-ease in the physical, emotional, and mental bodies.
Pyrolusite is an extremely useful stone to place in your immediate environment or meditation space. It repels negative energy and dispels psychic interference from any source, strengthening the aura in the process. It can prevent undue mental influence from someone with a strong mind, dissolve emotional manipulation, and provide a barrier to the attentions of those who inhabit the lower astral worlds.
If you have to be in the presence of someone in authority with a specific agenda to which you do not subscribe, keep a piece of Pyrolusite close beside you. It will enable you to stay true to your own beliefs. Because of its delicate construction, some Pyrolusite is not suitable for wearing or keeping on your person, but it can be held whenever its protective energies are required.
Psychologically, Pyrolusite promotes confidence, optimism, and determination. This tenacious stone gets to the bottom of problems and offers a means of transformation. It can give support during deep emotional healing, including past-life or body work to release emotional dis-ease and blockages in the emotional body.
Emotionally, Pyrolusite has the power to change and stabilize relationships. It can help in transmuting negative expectations into positive ones.
HEALING: Pyrolusite treats bronchitis, regulates the metabolism, reinforces blood vessels, and stimulates sexuality. It is also useful for strengthening eyesight.
POSITION: Place or hold as appropriate. As Pyrolusite is quite delicate and heavy to place on the body, it can be made into an elixir by the indirect method and applied topically or taken internally.
