Depositing Cintamani Stones at Antietam and Monocacy National Battlefields
By Rob Loveland and Dana Limpert
In early March, Dana contacted Rob to ask for assistance in fulfilling a mission she was given, specifically to help identify good sites in Maryland that needed “karmic” energetic healing. She was so glad to hear he wanted to help because she would have gone by herself, but it’s always a better and more enriching experience when this work is shared with others. The mission was to place Cintamani stones [1], which she had been entrusted with in sacred ceremony, at these sites so they might facilitate the clearing of residual negative energy, ultimately removing any obstacles from the sites to assist the planet’s energetic ascension.
What follows is an account of our experience, offered in our own words.
We had four stones to distribute, two appropriate for the water, and two for the land. This trip aimed to deposit only two of them, and we agreed that the Civil War National Battlefields at Monocacy and Antietam would be appropriate choices. The history of human tragedy at these locations is staggering. Antietam has the dubious distinction of being the site of the greatest number of casualties in one day than other during the war — nearly 23 thousand men killed, missing or wounded in a battle that lasted only twelve hours!
In the days leading up to the event, Rob channeled Archangel Mikael to explain what it is that would actually be happening at a spiritual level as a result of this mission. He confirmed that:
“It is true that sites such as those that saw such tragic loss of life hold a tremendous amount of residual energy — what you would think of as negative energy — just the feelings of fear, of terror, of loss, of pain. All of that leaves a mark on the landscape itself, in the environment.
”And, yes, while a number of people, many people, have visited those sites and have said prayers that are helpful in lifting that energy, they were sites of such extreme human tragedy that there is still more left to do. And as we all raise the energy level, the vibration, the frequency of the light grid around the world, these types of sites need a little more help.
“This is why you, all of you, any of you, are called Lightworkers. It is, in fact, helping, helping to clear the old energy so that the love energy that is already rising can do so unobstructed.”
Of course, Mikael also confirmed he and the other Archangels, the Mighty Ones — Uriel, Raphael, Jophiel, and Gabrielle — would be there with us, assisting from their side. Dana has a special connection with all the archangels, but particularly Raphael, as Rob does with Uriel.
So, on 27 March 2024, we set out early to visit both battlefields, with the intent to deposit one “land stone” and one “water stone.” The weather was overcast with an 80% chance of light to moderate rain for most of the day, but we were undeterred. We met at a convenient location just west of Baltimore on I-70, and then we headed west, excited for the promise of the day.
MONOCACY:
We stopped at Monocacy first and made our way to Gambrill Mill and proceeded down the Gambrill Mill Trail to the bank of the Monocacy River, just upstream of the bridge that played such a prominent role in the “Battle that Saved Washington, D.C.,” fought on 9 July 1864. We were blessed that the rain held off, so that was not an issue at all. As we walked the trail, we admired several very large, very old Sycamore trees on the edge of a side creek running along side the trail. Dana felt an instant connection of awe with these great protective guardian trees. Their bark is not as flexible as other trees so they shed their bark in plates to reveal beautiful new patterns with a white coloring towards the top of the tree. This tree stands in strength to remind us to shed our old skin and behavioral patterns that no longer serves so that the beauty of new life can be revealed.
So, it seemed fitting that we place the “land stone” on the bank of the river beneath a Sycamore. We each prayed over the stone and the site, asking the spirit realm to assist in lifting any residual traumatic energy. As often happens lately, Rob felt the presence of Archangel Uriel in the light dancing on the flowing water. Dana saw a flash of purple that signaled the presence of St. Germaine’s Violet Flame — he is one of the beings that has accompanied and guided Dana on her mission work for Gaia. She felt the thanks that always comes from Spirit, with their gentle encouraging guidance, when we say “yes” to our soul mission.
On the walk back to the car, we were thanked from Gaia with the songs of a cardinal, chickadee, and red-winged blackbird. Dana always turns to Ted Andrews’ book Animal Speak to decode the messages from Nature. Cardinals, with their red coloring, “brighten the environment … they remind us to remember that everything you do is of importance.” Ted’s keynote for chickadee is “cheerful and truthful expression” and for blackbird is “understanding of the Energies of Mother Nature.” When taken together, the song messages from Nature expressed that what we were doing mattered!
From there, we headed back to the car, back to I-70, and further west to Antietam.
ANTIETAM:
We started our visit to Antietam at the Visitor’s Center where we watched a short documentary film (narrated by James Earl Jones!), recounting the history and significance of the battle on 17 September 1862. As Dana remarked, it was good to start with that since it put us in the emotional space for what we intended to do. As we learned, of the 100,000 soldiers engaged in battle, 22,720 were killed, wounded, or missing. It’s impossible not to be affected emotionally when hearing the story of such extreme human tragedy!
Since we had deposited the “land stone” at Monocacy, we knew we had to deposit the “water stone” at the bridge over Antietam Creek, so we made our way that direction. On the way, we stopped at the Observation Tower overlooking much of the battlefield, but most particularly the Sunken Road, what would become known as “Bloody Lane,” as 5,400 soldiers became casualties over this tiny stretch of dirt!
The bridge over Antietam Creek is now known as Burnside Bridge, named after the Union commanding general who sacrificed so much to cross it, ultimately forcing the Confederates back to Sharpsburg. As she stood on the stone bridge, Dana noticed a pair of Canada Geese on one side and told Rob this was the side we were to drop the stone. Dana knew the geese represented them. Later, she found that Ted’s keynote for geese was “the call of the Quest and Travels to Legendary Places”!
Once again, we said our prayers to resolve all negative energy and clear the land and water to allow the natural flow of energy, each invoking the assistance of our favorites from the Company of Heaven.
As Rob held the stone, he again asked the Mighty Ones for help. As he closed his eyes, he saw a display of flashing lights (similar to a strobe), so he knew Archangels Uriel, Mikael, and Raphael (at a minimum) were closer than ever! These Cintamani stones certainly are powerful! For Dana, it was the Divine Mother who imparted such a feeling of peace within.
Afterward, we walked to the other side of the bridge, and there was another ancient Sycamore, beneath which was a sign and picture which showed that it stood during the time of the battle here. Trees are often thought to absorb and transform negative energy. What this tree must have witnessed and absorbed made Dana’s heart fill with gratitude for how this tree helped to heal human-caused tragedy. She sent energy in thanks for its service and to let the tree being know she “saw” the entirety of his being.
With our mission accomplished, we headed back home, reflecting on a day filled with mixed emotions. On the one hand, these sites evoke such a feeling of awe, sadness, and extreme reverence. But knowing that we came to help return it to a place of health and prosperity, we were filled with gratitude and joy. It was also such a blessing to us both to be able to spend a day in the company of an amazing teammate, sharing stories of our spiritual journeys and personal insights. On the way back home, the heavens opened up and rained, cleansing the land with the water of life, offering a fitting end to our Quest.
May you all find similar blessings and be inspired to fulfill your own spiritual missions!

[1] Cintamani stones are categorized by geologists as Saffordite Tektite but are popularly known as wishing stones due to their energy’s ability to amplify your own energetic potential into full manifestation. In normal light, they appear as black, often pitted like meteorites (i.e. with regmaglypt patterning), but when held in front of a bright light, they show themselves to be translucent. This is why some believe them to be pure light, perhaps even having originated from Sirius.
