So for this new feature, I will share a stone a week and how you can work with it for your well being.
Let's start with my favorite.
It may be obvious why this is my favorite stone ever, but also for good reason. She is packed with lots of love and healing energy. Her beautiful shades of pale, silvery white, are reminiscent of the Moon -- she almost glows.
Moonstone embodies the Divine Feminine and is related to the Sacral, Heart, Third-eye, and Crown chakras. The Waxing and Full moon phases are her realm. She helps to open ourselves to our own wisdom and intuition. She also encourages us to delve deep with ourselves as we search for our truth, helping us to connect to our Goddess-within. She helps men to connect more with their feminine side for balance and wholeness. She brings calmness, openness, patience, and love to the wearer.
Physically, she helps to regulate our moon-time- lessening cramps, PMS, balancing the flow. Carry her in your pocket during your cycle and see how she eases discomfort. I personally place a couple pieces on my Sacral chakra/ovaries laying back and relaxing during my cycle if I am having cramps.
Just the other night, my boyfriend burned his hand, and after I did what I could medicinally, he insisted holding a moonstone sphere I have while he slept because he said it was soothing. Stones have energy and if you are open you can physically feel it!
Ways to work with Moonstone:
//Charge your water with Moonstone during the Waxing/Full Moon and drink it during your moon-time//
//Wear Moonstone while having a past-life regression//
//Place Moonstone on your Sacral, Heart, Third-eye, or Crown chakras to balance the energy//
//On your Full Moon altar placing Moonstone always magnifies the energy//
//Hold Moonstone while you meditate on your purpose and connecting with your intuition//
//Moonstone on any Goddess altar helps amplify the energy//
What are other ways you connect with your Moonstone?
I would love to hear it!
Love and Blessings,

DeleteThis is awesome ! A whole new world for me! I have been studying the chakras so I am intrigued and excited to follow along. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Welcome to the world of crystals! It's addicting ;)
DeleteThanks for the new feature! I am loving learning more and more about stones and crystals and their healing properties, as well as their connections to the chakras. I got my belly button pierced when I was 18 and chose a moonstone for the jewelry because it seemed neutral yet mystical to me. I didn't know it's significance at the time, but when I first learned about it's connection to the sacral chakra and the female reproductive system, I had to smile to myself for "unknowingly" making the decision to place that stone in that area. It's always been the perfect piece of jewelry and I have never changed it!
ReplyDeleteYour intuition knew :) That's so awesome, if I ever got my belly button pierced I would get a moonstone! How cool that they even offered it!
DeleteI sleep with a crystal under my pillow or in my hand more often than not. I have a rough cut smokey quartz my husband has painfully rolled onto in his sleep on more than one occasion. Crystals are something I'm looking forward to learning more about - I'm excited for this series!

Thank you Linda! I just won a moonstone necklace! I need to wear it, I haven't yet!
Deletehave long had an affinity with crystals and I think the first to capture my heart was also moonstone. Swear by it for all things feminine but it is a long time since I have worked with mine - the last time being my daughters water birth ... I am off to dig it out and connect with her again. Thank you for prompting me to do so. Enjoy your journey X X X
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad this could help! <3
DeleteWhat a cool series Marissa! I've been collecting and using many different crystals the past few months, thanks for the advice on the books :) I've found that sleeping with them in my pillow really is relaxing and makes me dream more, or at least remember them in more detail. I just got moonstone last week. I really am loving the healing energy I feel from it. :)Crystals are so amazing! I love getting new ones and feeling all of their different energies. I look forward to more of these posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you Felicia! I love putting crystals under my pillow too!
