CanteOhitikaHoksila's video: Apache Tears - There Was A Time

One day a party of Apache Indians, was ambushed by an enemy tribe. The Apaches fought bravely but were greatly outnumbered and driven to the top of a high bluff. Their arrows gone and unable to fight and unwilling to be taken captive, they leapt from the cliffs to their death. Their women were understandably grief-stricken and wept over the bodies. Their teardrops froze when they hit the ground to become the lovely stones we know today as "Apache Tears". 'Apache Tears' is also called Black Obsidian. Obsidian has great healing properties. Like other black gemstones it is used to ground scattered energies. The stone emanates truth and will show you your strengths and weaknesses. This is a powerful stone with potential for positive cleansing and transformation. Used in 'grounding' one's energies. Also helps soul reflection. The "Grief Stone". Apache Tears allow for tears to be shed, stimulating emotional spontaneity and the release of barriers that prevent you from experiencing deep sorrow. This stone is excellent for transmuting one's own negativity under stressful situations. When held up to the light it appears transparent. However, it has been noted that the grief one feels goes into the stone and can turn it opaque. Black Obsidian is about courage and leadership, having strong will power and determination. When a darkness falls, the path you chose in the light and in better times remains the same even though you cannot see it in the darkness. But if you are journeying down the same path that you've chosen in light, it will become light again soon. It is like walking at night when darkness falls. You know the road ahead, though you can't see it. It is no different if it were light out, and if you keep traveling it will be light soon. We each choose a path and we travel that path. Sometimes we come to hills that are hard to climb. Sometimes we come into areas that are dark. But if we continue on the path we chose, those things will rectify themselves. We choose our paths at a more clear time. A time when we have the knowledge of God, and we have the wisdom of God, and we know where we want our path to lead. Then we start walking our path. Sometimes we choose paths that are difficult. Often our paths are uphill. It is easy to become tired if you don't remember that you chose that path for a reason. http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=1538965098 http://www.facebook.com/tashunka.witko
