Moonstone~Stone of Receptivity + New Beginnings by Jessica Allen

A soft stone that flashes glowing light, Moonstone's special microstructure causes light to diffract as a lovely luminous sheen. Extremely calming and soothing to the emotions, Moonstone activates our intuition and emotions--reminding one that sometimes, in order to move forward, one must embody a receptive state. Just as the cycles of the Moon remind us that everything comes and goes in a natural rhythm, meditating with moonstone helps one to recognize that the same cycles exist in our lives, and that every new beginning is also the end of the old.

Moonstone is a stone of feelings and emotion. It helps us access knowledge which comes from feelings--the feelings in our body that hold our original impulses and reactions to our constantly changing circumstances. Acknowledging and becoming aware of those feelings is an easy way to restructure our lives--when something feels bad, something must be changed! Sometimes it's a behavior or a thought pattern that needs changing, and Moonstone is great for helping to acknowledge those thoughts, gently allowing them to take new forms.

Moonstone can help one feel calm and patient, as it helps us to realize that not every moment is a time to act. Sometimes staying calm, loving, and composed while waiting for a situation to develop further is the best "action" to take, and Moonstone is very supportive if you feel that you need a little reminder to wait for the right time (or if you just need a little help keeping yourself composed!)

Moonstone is protective for travelers, helping the wearer to meet each part of the journey with ease. Also useful for clearing negative energy from the chakras, and any environment, and for introducing love and tenderness into the space where it is kept. Great for bringing about self-awareness and balancing the emotions.
