Janelle Scialla describes Bayldonite's unusual properties as follows ..... "Bayldonite is a powerhouse of a mineral with a primary focus on energetic cleansing and circulation. Interestingly, its cleansing action seems to vary with the user, so it may affect each person differently, focussing on one area of the physical or energy bodies or working its way through all. For example, one friend with menopausal brain fog felt it clear and create new pathways in the brain, while another with digestive issues felt almost as if she was spewing out the unhealthy energy. For me, it focusses a fizzy clearing sensation on the central chakras before moving on to the energy body. Bayldonite also improves circulation of energy through the meridian pathways, again varying with the user. In my personal experience, it connects strongly to the Triple Burner Meridian and works its way through the Three Gates, cleansing and tonifying each one before moving on to the next, which balances the whole system. This is consistent and happens with each use. Another friend found it improved circulation in the Governing Vessel. In all cases, Bayldonite lets the user take a deep breath, unfurl themselves, and stand straight and tall, thus not only improving physical posture, but also having a positive effect on mood, self-confidence, and mental clarity."
