Mica is a stone of highly positive energies. It affects the mind centers and mental processes more than the emotions or physical body. Mica stimulates the rational mind, promoting clear and quick thinking, effective problem-solving and the synthesis of new ideas from old information (teaching one to try on unfamiliar frames of reference). It assists one in letting go of the habit of thinking things must be seen as ‘either/or,’ allowing one to move beyond strict logic and into the meta-logic of ‘both/and.’ Mica stimulates the higher capacities of the brain, leading one to embrace paradox, holding the tension of opposites within the mind without getting a brain cramp.
With its vibration of high mental stimulation, Mica is excellent for any who wish to engage the full capacities of the mind. It is a stone of inspiration, fostering the creation of new neural pathways and increasing the frequency of ‘Aha!’ moments. As one works with this stone one often feels increased in confidence in one’s ability to tackle challenging projects or problems. Such confidence reduces mental and psychological stress, further enhancing one’s power of mind through the relaxation of tension. Mica assists those who are rapidly opening to Spirit and who experience difficult psychic symptoms from a too-rapid awakening, including physical effects.
Mica assists one in attuning to the time stream of the future. It does this by allowing one’s mental apparatus to rest comfortably in the state of indeterminacy. Most of us are trained to always try to pin down the facts and ‘get a handle’ on reality. Along with that, we are educated to believe that the future will tend to resemble the past. This self-fulfilling prophecy keeps us chained to dreary predictability and kills the imagination. Mica’s energies encourage one to turn to the future with hopeful expectancy and without any preconceived notions. This frees the Universe to present us with new experiences and novel answers to life’s questions – or perhaps novel questions with no answers at all!
Mica is a wonderful spiritual insulator; it is one of the predominant protective stones for the energy field. It is excellent for those who are susceptible to negativity or picking up difficult emotional energies from others. Mica seals the aura, preventing psychic attack and emotional or entity attachment. It is wonderful to use after the detachment of psychic cords or entities, as it prevents reattachment in the aura, and it can assist one in not reacting to old emotional triggers when another person is attempting to ‘push one’s buttons.’ It can aid sensitive children to find their self-sense and prevents over-identification with the emotions of others, helping folks maintain their energetic and emotional integrity and determine what energies ‘belong’ to them, as well as what energies may be intruding from external forces.
