Well, after the portals, eclipses, light code downloads, powerful new and full moons, together with the energy shifts that went with them, what we all need now is to relax and have some down time before the energy window for the Equinox in September opens. It won’t be long!
And, as moonstone is the stone of new beginnings, it will help you have a nice new beginning after all the rubbish you have cleared from your system.
There is no way you can actually be the same person you were even a few months ago, and the really good thing about moonstone is that it is extremely helpful for anyone who adapting to change, especially change related to the structures within your life – on all levels. There is a good chance that most of the things that have been supporting you – in many cases for years – have indeed changed dramatically recently. Let this lovely stone help you recalibrate your energy system, so you can cope more easily. It has a balancing energy and we all need to come back into balance… especially with the next shift being Equinox, which always brings you back into balance. We might as well start preparing for that shift right now!
So, one of the best ways to use moonstone to relax is to construct a body layout with the crystals.
There are several ways you can do this… and, of course, you can lay the stones anywhere you like. There is no rule that says you have to use them this way… or any other way! You can always wait for your own guidance. But this will at least give you a place to start.
All you do is place the stones and allow yourself to relax… and, the allowing is the most important things you can do! We often don’t relax because we don’t let ourselves do it! How daft is that?
Also, as this crystal is associated with the moon, you can also imagine you are lying in the moonlight and let this soothing energy fill your body, along with the gentle energy of the stone to enhance the relaxing effect. After only a short while you should feel it. You should feel very calm.
Relaxing Layout – 5 moonstones
This layout is to restore equilibrium… and, who doesn’t need that at the moment? It is also helpful if you want to tap into your intuition more easily.
There are two versions of this layout:
- one stone above your head, one on either side of your body beside each hand and each foot.
- one stone above your head, one on either side of the body at the shoulder and the hip
Chakra Layout – 7 moonstones
- one on each chakra
Solar Plexus Chakra – when you work with moonstone here in meditation, it will help you to identify any old emotional patterning that no longer serves your highest and greatest good, so you can clear it from your system. I would do this with moonstones around me as well to make sure the energy field is also cleared of the same energetic patterning. That way you get rid of a lot more rubbish (see below).
Energy Field Cleansing – as moonstone cleanses negativity from the aura and the subtle anatomy, just lie down and place any amount of crystals around your physical body with the intention of doing this. Lay down and let the crystals work.
The energy of moonstone combines well with many stones, so you can, of course, choose to place additional stones on or around your body if you feel drawn to do this. My recommendation would always be labradorlite because it is a deeply cleansing stone. It is also a stone which helps with transitions in your life, so it will work well with the new beginnings of moonstone. The labradorite becomes the stepping stone carrying you from the old to the new of the moonstone. Always handy!
However, moonstone energy also combines well with – sunstone. Amber, golden labradorite, moldavite, jet, amethyst, and garnet.
Whatever you decide to do, it you are drawn to work with moonstone – it will always help!
Have fun!
Bright blessings!
