Gemstones To Work With This Month: February & The Moon's Influence...

February teaches us all about the challenges that the Moon's influence has on us, as the second month of the year. The Moon is a very intuitive, creative, and nurturing planetary influence. It offers the gift of change by waxing and waning through each month through the lunar cycles. The Moon helps to balance the water element in our bodies and emotions. In regards to health, the Moon addresses our digestive system, body tissues, reproductive system, bladder, kidneys, and emotions. These gemstones help to bring harmony to the lunar energies in order to help us move through this month with ease and grace.

Pearls are formed in the water in cycles that reflect the cycles of the Moon. They help to cool excess heat in the body, calm the nervous system, and promote longevity and vitality. Pearls are wonderful for calming anxiety, regulating mood swings, and supporting the grieving process. They help us align to the natural tides while raising our intuition and emotional awareness. Pearls help promote confidence, self-Love, and acceptance.

Moonstone healing has been known to have first come from Ayurvedic, Ancient Roman, and Hindu traditions. They help us balance our hormones, harmonize the Reproductive System, and calm the excess heat in the body. Energetically, Moonstone reflects back to us our intuitive intelligence, and helps us flow through our lives with neutral emotions, a deeper connection to our inner wisdom, and a Loving relationship to our emotions. Moonstones are beautiful supporters during times of grief, loss, personal transition, or life changes.

Black Onyx is a grounding, protective, and stabilizing stone. It can be used to support the nervous system, strengthen the bones and teeth, and help with physical endurance and stamina. Black Onyx helps to build emotional stamina, address our fears, calm anxiety, and encourage self-discipline. It also helps us strengthen our boundaries, stay neutral, focus on what's most important, and let go of negativity.

Clear Quartz Crystals are energetic magnifiers. They are wonderful for mental clarity and self-awareness, while clearing confusion and scattered thoughts. Clear Quartz Crystals help to bring alignment to the chakras, vitality and harmony to the body, and help the flow of energy throughout the entire being. During times of major decision-making, transformation, and insight, Clear Quartz Crystals help us to be more adaptable and intentional. They support conscious shifts, mental focus, and emotional harmony.

During the month of February, work with Pearls, Moonstones, Black Onyx, and Clear Quartz Crystals to help bring out the best of the lunar forces at play. Wear them as jewelry, put them in your water and drink the water after they have soaked for a few hours, hold them in your pocket/purse/hand, or surround yourself with them in your space to access their healing forces.
