The Meaning of Moonstone
In India moonstone has always been sacred, with a special significance for lovers. It was believed that placing moonstone in their mouths when the moon was full would allow them to see their future! In Europe, moonstone was said to reconcile estranged lovers and to cure sleeplessness.
In Feng Shui and other spiritual practices, the moon represents the Divine Feminine. It's a common belief that women’s fertility cycles connect with the waxing and waning of the moon, and many think that moonstone is known for balancing female hormonal and reproductive issues as well as emotions.
Just as the moon cycles connect women to the natural elements, wearing moonstone also helps to remind us that our lives, just like the tides, ebb and flow. Moonstone encourages compassion, empathy and is also thought to
help the wearer to tap into their intuition and enhances psychic abilities - even clairvoyance.
Moonstone serves to activate the creative and intuitive power of feminine energy. It can help us balance and cool down emotions and stress, as well as putting us in tune with our femininity and empathy. Moonstone energy is 'yin'; self-examining, receptive, and deeply connected to our subconscious.
The serene energy of the moonstone also invites creativity, healing and motherly protection into its wearer.
