This copper wrapped heart is made from bare copper wire.  It was then manipulated by hand into the shape of a heart, then wrapped with 28 gauge copper wire. It was then wrapped with 18 gauge wire.  To look aged it was antiqued.  The heart hangs from a ball and chain necklace.  Beautiful !
 
 COPPER HEALING PROPERTIES

  Chakras ~ Base Chakra, Sacral Chakra  

Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies.  It has been used successfully to amplify and to transmit thought.  It is said to be a "bestower of good" bringing benefit to its user. 

Copper  can conduct electrical impulses and magnify the energy transfer from the healer or from minerals to the subject of the healing.  Copper can combat lethargy, passivity, restleness, excitability and non acceptance of oneself.  It stimulates initiative, optism, diplomacy and independence.

Copper activates and opens the base and sacral chakras, advancing and stabilizing the energies of intuition, sexuality, desire and vitality, directing these energies toward the pursuit of one's path of evolution.  It allows one to recognise the barriers which are in the path of one's development.

Copper can be used to stabilise and balance the flow of blood within the body, helping to increase circulatory functions when necessary.  It can be used to cleanse wounds and to fight bacterial infection.  It is also useful in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism, and to stimulate the matabolic proesses.
