Why you are drawn to amber
Whether you’re wanting to deepen your spiritual practice or simply bask in the glow of its timeless beauty, there are some special reasons why amber catches your eye, such as:
Energy resonance
Energy resonance is the most common reason why people are drawn to amber. Amber has a vibration that resonates with our energy field, creating an attraction to or connection with it.
This resonance can be felt as a physical or emotional sensation, such as warmth, tingling, a sense of calmness, or a feeling like you could look at a piece of amber for ages and never get bored of it.
Intuition
Our intuition is a powerful guide when it comes to choosing gemstones, crystals, and other spiritual tools.
Sometimes we are drawn to amber because our intuition tells us that it can bring us what we need in our life at this time.
This can happen when we look through a collection of crystals and gemstones, and even when we’re not looking for amber specifically … A piece of amber appears or enters our life, and it feels a lot like the gemstone has been looking for you!
I’ll go into more detail in the next section about what you can expect from amber if you use it well.
Personal associations
You might also be drawn to amber because of personal associations or memories with this fossil. Each piece of amber is like a window into our past, present, and future, providing a gateway to the mysteries of our soul.
For example, fond memories of a certain place or time in our lives form an emotional connection and draw us to a crystal or gemstone that reminds us of that time.
When I was a kid, my uncle let me choose a semiprecious stone from his fish tank to keep. I chose a beautiful blue lace agate, and to this day (decades later), I remember looking at that crystal and thinking how beautiful it was.
And do you know what? I’m still drawn to blue lace agate and I still have fond memories of it, even though I no longer have the one I chose all those years ago.
Physical or emotional needs
You could also be drawn to amber because of your physical or emotional needs. Amber has a powerful healing energy that soothes the soul and eases pain, whether it’s anxiety, stress, or physical discomfort.
If you have any of these needs and you’re drawn to amber, use the gemstone to help you overcome them and take this as a sign that it’s time to get help from professionals to deal with these challenges.
You think it’s a beautiful stone
Sometimes we are just drawn to something because it’s beautiful or unusual and catches our eye.
Amber is one of the most beautiful stones there is, with its warm honey-like color, woody caramelly scent from a subtropical rainforest, and it’s beautiful sparkles that remind us of a golden sunset over a beautiful mountain or lake.
If that’s the only reason you want to get a piece of amber, then that’s a perfectly good reason too.
