find out why this ebook has finally come into life...
My name is Alex, I am 39. Being born in Gdansk- the World’s Capital of Amber - obliges me to share my knowledge about this magic gemstone. But my personal experience gave me motivation to do so. I believe you will find here a lot of useful information… My family lives in Gdansk in the North of Poland. I am a mother to two kids: a daughter and a son. Although they are already schoolkids I will always remember the most beautiful and also the hardest times related to breastfeeding, colic, and teething. My grandfather was a jewelry maker. He was passionate about Baltic Amber. At that time I was pursuing my career in a corporation, so his passion was completely foreign and weird to me. One day, my little teething son had a terrible fever. He refused to eat and drink. I was desperately trying to soothe his pain and then my grandfather gave me a small necklace made of small amber beads. The same necklaces he used to make for German nannies. I had nothing to lose. I didn’t want to give my son more drugs. I put this necklace on his neck

and was waiting:-) And it worked! I had no doubts to wear the same necklace when my daughter was teething. After this time, I believed in amber healing power for the second time. For many years I have been suffering from migraines. This was a result of a stressful job in a corporation. I kept taking more and more strong painkillers and became addicted to this. I used to wake up and take two pills before breakfast. Then, after 4 hours another two, and another. My husband said that it could not be like this. Unfortunately, he was right. What was I supposed to do? Go to another doctor and ask for another set of pills? Not this time. I found my babies’ teething necklace and put it on my neck;-) That was the best choice and breakthrough in my life! I quit my career, which seemed to be a black hole and decided to help other mums, sharing knowledge about salutary effects of amber. It helped me and my kids. I believe it will help others. As a mother, and being born in Gdansk [Poland] - the world’s capital of amber - I owe this my grandfather. Enjoy, Aleksandra altodiversi.com E-mail: aleksandra@altodiversi.com

Chapter I WHAT IS AMBER?
1. Myths and Legends According to ancient Greek myth, Amber was the tears of Heliades shed into the River Eridanus after the death of their brother Phaëthon. The legend says that angry Zeus threw Phaëthon into the river after the boy used his father’s golden chariot to ride across the sky. That seems a very sad and pessimistic story.
The Chinese used to believe that Amber was the soul of a tiger which had died and passed into the earth converting into pieces of Amber. For them, Amber was deemed to give its possessor the courage of tiger.

Another legend says that Amber was a stone sacred to Freya - the Viking goddess. After the disappearance of her husband Odin, she wept. Her tears falling on rock turned to gold and when they fell into the sea, they turned into Amber. For Native Americans, the Slavic people of Northern Europe, and in Neolithic times, Amber was a sacred symbol of the sun while to early Christians, Amber signified the presence of the Lord. It seems like there is no clear explanation of the ancient meaning of this precious stone. I find the Chinese attitude most convincing. What about you?
