Embrace Your Feminine Energies with Moonstone

Records indicate that as long as humans have walked the Earth, we have been fascinated with the moon. Since its discovery, people have had a similar fascination with moonstone gems. Moonstone is an enchanting, pearlescent stone of the feldspar variety that takes its name from the visual effect of light diffraction in the stone’s microstructure.

Moonstone occurs in various cuts, colors, and clarity and can be found in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia, and India.

What are the Spiritual Healing Properties of Moonstone?

Many people believe in the power of moonstone as a healing crystal.

Moonstone healing crystals are associated with: 

• The moon
• The inner feminine goddess that lives within each of us
• Balance and harmony 

Moonstone healing crystals can open the heart chakra, enabling us to accept and give unconditional love. Opening the heart chakra also allows us to be more in touch with deep feelings and beliefs. Many people use moonstone healing crystals to unlock creativity and intuition. People also use this stone to dispel negative emotions like fear, self-doubt, and anger.

What are the Physical Healing Properties of Moonstone?

Moonstone healing crystals support physical health on many levels, including the digestive system. This system is an integral part of our well-being, responsible for the assimilation of nutrients and eliminating toxins and excess fluid. This powerful healing stone also assists in skin, hair, and eye health and encourages the pineal gland to support hormonal balance.

Many women turn to moonstone for support during monthly cycles, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Men turn to moonstone for assistance with accessing their more emotional side.

Types of Moonstone

The most common color associated with the moonstone healing crystal is the pearlescent opaque white, but there are other colors to consider for more specific healing.

Black Moonstone Healing Crystals

Black moonstone, like white moonstone, connects to the divine feminine goddess within. However, black moonstone challenges and supports us to accept and explore our darker sides.

Meditating with black moonstone may lead to a confrontation with your innermost emotions and deepest ingrained beliefs to understand them – and yourself – more fully. Black moonstone allows us to take a step back and analyze intense situations with a more neutral eye without emotions or habitual behavior clouding our view. 

Physically, black moonstone is more specifically known to support people through post-partum periods and easing hormonal fluctuations.

How to Meditate with Moonstone

Meditation is an excellent tool to utilize with or without healing crystals. The addition of a healing crystal with meanings that speak to you can increase your meditation and manifestation power. Try meditating with this mantra and moonstone: I embrace my divine feminine power.

Hold your moonstone crystal in your hand, sit upright, close your eyes, and find stillness. Focus on your breath filling and emptying your lungs. Then, when your mind is quiet, begin repeating the mantra to yourself. Meditate for as little or as long as you see fit and enjoy the quiet energy when you are finished.

For a more passive method of soaking up the moonstone powers, wear a piece of moonstone jewelry or place it in your home somewhere you see it often. Notice the energies and emotions that come to the forefront of your mind when you notice your beautiful moonstone.
