A powerful heart crystal that is able to create a heart connection not only with the physical, but also with the Divine. It fills the heart with light which then permeates the entire body. It is cheering and uplifting, and very good for depression. It can be used in scanning the body before treatment, and can clear throughout the physical body, particularly the filter organs such as kidneys and spleen. Hiddenite can also be used to identify the past cause of illness or emotional pain, and therefore be better able to heal it in the present.
