MOONSTONE

Said to protect sailors at sea and travelers on water, Moonstone is more potent during a waxing moon and less during the waning. This is the stone to use if you seek to embody the goddess. Like the moon, the stone is reflective and reminds you that everything is part of a cycle of change. Lessening a tendency to overreact emotionally, Moonstone can also amplify emotions in sensitive people at full moon, especially those picked up from other people. This stone encourages lucid dreaming, especially at full moon, and has traditionally been used to enhance metaphysical abilities and to develop clairvoyance. A stone of new beginnings, Moonstone is filled with receptive, passive, feminine energy. It balances male-female energies and assists men who want to get in touch with their feminine side. It is the perfect antidote for the excessively macho man- or aggressive female. Opening the mind to sudden and irrational impulses, serendipity, and synchronicity, placed on the solar plexus it draws out old emotional patterning.

Beneficial for: Stress, detoxification, anxiety, emotional balance, hyperactive children, female reproductive system, fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, PMS, hormonal balance, pineal gland, skin, hair, eyes, insomnia.

In addition to carrying the generic properties of Moonstone, Rainbow moonstone houses a spiritual being that carries the vibration of light and spiritual healing for the whole humanity, reminding you that you are part of an ongoing, ever-unfolding “cycle of cycles.” Linking you to your overall lives-plan as well as the current life plan, it helps you see the unseen, read symbols and synchronicities intuitively, and open yourself to spiritual gifts.

Moonstone is also the stone of love and eroticism, stimulating the kundalini energy and carnal desires. It is the ultimate fertility crystal. A Moonstone necklace worn during lovemaking at full moon harmonizes the body into the natural lunar cycle. Or, for fidelity or fertility, make a grid of thirteen Moonstone crystals with a circle of the twelve months around a bedroom, and one centered under the bed. As a professional support stone, Moonstone aids dancers and artists in their self-expression, inspires the heart and feeling in executives, and helps educators in sharing activities. It enhances self-acceptance in waiters and waitresses, and promotes sensitivity in psychologists and secretaries.

Beneficial for: Rainbow Moonstone acts as a prism, diffusing energy throughout the aura. It provides psychic protection, clearing the mind and senses, and aids in lucid dreaming and calm sleep. It deflects negativity and eases emotional trauma. Aligned with the Goddess, Rainbow Moonstones connect with the energies and spirits of Nature, from plant devas to galactic consciousness.
