Feel my weight and my ancient energy channeling through your soul and mine as one. All the power of the sun is at my fingertips as I heal body and soul.
The ancient Greeks believed amber – the resin of trees that grew on the Earth many millions of years ago – to be the tears of Heliades, the daughters of the Sun god Helios, shed in mourning for their lost brother Phaeton. This precious nature material has long been associated with the reviving power of the Sun for its colour and warmth to the touch. The beauty of amber lies within its ability to change the light and interact with it, like an ever-changing fire that never tires the eye.
