Mountain Pose™ Necklace: Black Rhodonite & Onyx

Wearing Mountain Pose Can Help You

• Become more aware of your body’s needs,
• Feel more comfortable in your own body,
• Anchor scattered emotions,
• Gain control of anxiety and nervousness,
• Gain control of prolonged or intense jealousy, anger, trauma, grief, excessive worry, and extreme stress,
• Reduce emotional outbursts

The Mountain Pose necklace consists of Black Rhodonite and Onyx. There are three different styles of Black Rhodonite used across the Mountain Pose necklaces. When selecting a necklace, refer to the images of the three styles and choose the one that resonates most with you.

Mountain Pose promotes body awareness, helps you feel more comfortable with your body and emotions, and anchors the scattered emotional energies that get in the way of health and happiness.

Benefits of Wearing Mountain Pose

Helps You Feel More Physically and Emotionally Grounded

Wearing Mountain Pose can help you feel more grounded — both physically and emotionally. It is particularly useful for taking control of scattered emotions.

Scattered emotional energies can result from long-term anxiety, jealousy, anger, trauma, grief, excessive worry, and extreme stress. When experienced chronically, these emotions can leave you feeling disassociated from your life and disconnected from your higher purpose. They can also make it very difficult to focus.

Think of these emotional energies as helium balloons that have drifted into the sky. Wearing Mountain Pose helps you gather them back — putting them in your hands, where you can maintain control.

Enhances Body Awareness

Mountain Pose enhances your awareness of your body, alerting you to minor disharmonies so you can address them before they become larger concerns. This awareness can show up in simple, practical ways — noticing that a certain sitting position strains your back, or becoming more conscious of your alignment during yoga, dance, or exercise. Small corrections, made early, can make a significant difference over time.

Improves Your Sense of Ease with Your Body

Mountain Pose also helps you become more comfortable in your own body. The pieces of your being settle into place more readily. You become more physically integrated — able to sit or stand in one position for longer periods without restlessness.

Being comfortable in yourself also means being at ease when you're alone.

Those who are uncomfortable in their bodies tend to avoid solitude. They look constantly outside themselves for distraction, may turn to alcohol or other substances, and often find themselves overly absorbed in other people's affairs as a way of avoiding their own. Mountain Pose gently addresses this pattern at its energetic root.

Symbiotic Black Rhodonite and Onyx

Black Rhodonite is a combination of pink and black minerals, and each plays a distinct role.

The pink mineral — Pink Rhodonite — reorganizes emotional energies and helps you build a strong emotional foundation of courage and inner strength.

The black mineral affects emotional energies like gravity. It draws them downward, the way water naturally settles into lakes and ponds. This reins in scattered emotions, calms them, and over time helps build a more stable emotional foundation. With prolonged wear, you may begin to feel a growing sense of courage and a stronger sense of self.

Onyx is the ideal symbiotic partner for Black Rhodonite. Where Black Rhodonite settles the emotions, Onyx settles the body. It also provides a magnetic-like draw for scattered emotions, reinforcing and deepening the work of the Black Rhodonite.

How Black Rhodonite Works Energetically

The black mineral in Black Rhodonite is Manganese oxide, which has a magnetic-like quality and a natural affinity for the core of one's being. When you wear Black Rhodonite, its energy pools in your core and moves down the spine — helping you feel more centered and grounded. That same magnetic-like quality calls scattered emotional energies back toward the body, where they fall into balance with one another. The result is a greater sense of control over your emotional experience.

Numerology

Mountain Pose necklaces contain either ten or twelve Black Rhodonite spheres in the front section, with six spheres between each Onyx bead. The choice between ten and twelve depends on the size of the Black Rhodonite spheres and the desired finished length of the necklace.

• The number six supports self-mastery — helping you take conscious control of your body and emotions.
• Ten signifies the completion of a cycle and a return to a higher order — it carries an organizing influence that helps the emotional improvements supported by this necklace settle into a new and more stable chapter of your life.
• Twelve represents wholeness — of your entire being and all its dimensions — and connects you to the broader rhythm of the universe, making hidden aspects of yourself more accessible.

The gemstone numerology of this necklace ensures that its work is not just felt in the moment but integrated into the fullness of who you are.

Therapeutic-Quality Parameters

Black Rhodonite is an opaque stone characterized by pink and black markings. The pink color can range from pale to dark and the amount of black markings can vary considerably, making each gem’s appearance unique. Black Rhodonite is a manganese silicate with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, which is slightly softer than quartz, but hard enough that the gem doesn’t require extra care. Black Rhodonite is most therapeutically effective in spherical form. Every Black Rhodonite bead is different and therefore every necklace unique. We grade Black Rhodonite by density of the black coloration, the sharpness of the color borders, and the richness of the pink color. Usually, we have several types of Black Rhodonite & Onyx available.

• Mountain Pose necklaces vary in length and the coloration pattern of each bead is unique.
• Necklaces and bracelets come with a button clasp unless noted otherwise.
• All gemstones are therapeutic-quality.*

How to Wear Mountain Pose

Wear these gemstones as soon as you feel your emotions are becoming keyed up or that you may be losing control of them. If you feel this way often, wear the necklace or bracelet for a few hours daily. If the experience tends to happen during certain times or situations, prepare yourself by donning the gemstones an hour or two beforehand. For children to work with Mountain pose at night, simply wrap the necklace around the neck of a favorite stuffed animal, fasten the clasp, and have the child cuddle the animal while she sleeps. This is a safe and effective way for children to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of healing gemstones. The necklace remains in a circular shape, which is ideal, and in contact with the child’s body. Used this way, the necklace won’t get accidentally broken nor does it pose a potential choking hazard. To enhance body awareness, wear Mountain Pose or keep it nearby you during physical activity for several consecutive workouts. Don’t expect improvement the first few times you wear it. The body needs time and experience to realize and self-evaluate certain movement inefficiencies. For improvement in inner strength and stillness, wear Mountain Pose during quiet moments, when you can reflect on how the gemstones are making you feel. Look for a sense of calming, and a downward movement that is settling. You may also sense the scattered energies in your aura are collecting and being pulled in, leaving you with a greater sense of centeredness.

Backstory

To develop the GEMFormulas’ necklaces, Isabelle consults with her Gemstone Therapy teachers in the higher planes or the gemstone guardians in charge of the gemstones used. Here, Isabelle shares some of her personal experiences behind the scenes in the development of this necklace. This necklace was born when we combined Black Rhodonite with Onyx. When I held the upgraded necklace, my energies immediately shifted. I felt my feet planted firmly on the floor and a solid connection with the ground below. For the first time, I could actually feel what I believed the yoga position called “Mountain Pose” was supposed to accomplish. It was a feeling of being still, steadfast, and strong, just like a mountain.

"Wow...I have on the necklace, and I feel solid, like my body is weighted down. I must say I am surprised! So this is what it feels like to be walking around and grounded. First time I ever felt this way."
