Well, with all the water about at the moment it made me think about what this is reflecting back to us… most things in our lives can double as a mirror if you think about them in a different way. So, what is this flood water doing?
Water represents the emotions and right now it is in full spate, so there is every chance that your emotions will be reflecting this as well. You may well feel as if you are all over the place and your emotions are completely out of control some days. So, it is the perfect time to see exactly which one are rising to the surface to be dealt with.
There are, of course, loads and loads of crystals that can help you with this sort inner exploration, but I have chosen white and black moonstone because they work well together, and they are very effective. They will allow you see to see exactly what is going on. Also, moonstone is the stone of new beginnings, so after you have worked with them and started to see what you need to do about the emotions you are currently facing, it is the perfect stone to shift you into a different energy so you can actually do something about them.
White and black moonstone are so good together because the white stone is light in the darkness while the black stone brings your darkness into the light and black moonstone is particularly helpful for those who have spent a lot of time focussing on their light side rather than looking into their dark side to see how they can deal with it. It’s no good burying all the things you don’t like about yourself. The energy is still there, and it will eventually pop up into the light, forcing you to deal with it, usually when you really don’t want to. It’s better to make an empowered choice to deal with it and get it over with, so it’s gone from you and your energy system.
So, what do you do?
- Hold the black moonstone in non-dominant hand and your white moonstone in your dominant hand.
- Sit with both stones for a few moments and allow yourself to come into attunement with their combined energy. Moonstone holds a soothing, balancing energy, so intend that this flows in through your palm chakras and fills you, so you are in a calm space to deal with anything that come up.
- Now set the intention that you would like to become aware of any emotions that you need to deal with at this time and see what comes up. If nothing does, just continue to absorb the energy of the stones; it will always help! But, if something does bubble up to the surface of your mind, allow yourself to connect with all the thoughts and emotions and allow yourself to experience them in a very real way. Embrace them rather than trying to push them away. Let them fill you and then let them float away.
- Once this process has started, set the intention to breathe out any old, stagnant emotional energy and, with each in breath, draw more energy from the moonstones into your mind and body to fill up the spaces left after you have released the other less pleasant stuff.
- And, just keep doing this until you feel you have done everything you need to do for that session. It may take more than one to clear everything… we are after all, very good at storing rubbish all over our Four Body System!
- At the end, thank your crystals and ground firmly, bringing yourself back into the space where you are working.
Other things to do with this meditation:
- You can call in helpers and guides before you start to support you while you work. They can also be useful if you need any additional information about the emotions that come up. They can help you understand why particular thoughts and feelings are there in the first place and what you need to learn from them. You can also ask them about your new beginning after the work has been done in case you need help with that.
- You can use black moonstone after the release work on the sacral chakra and let the vibrations of the stone flow into this energy centre. It will help you discover all sorts of new and usually unexpected ideas. It is all part of the new beginnings process!
- You can use white moonstone after the release work. It has nurturing, supportive and intuitive energy, so you can place it on any chakra you want. Just allow its calming energy to flow wherever you are guided to use it.
- You can also use moonstone if you feel unsettled after the meditation because it soothes emotional instability and stress so it will help you stablise after you have worked with the two stones together.
- Finally, if you don’t feel ready to face anything, just sit with the white moonstone and ask it to help you and prepare you to do the work that needs to be done. it will be more than happy to do this for you!
So, it’s time for you to dash off, find your moonstones and make them your new best friends for a while!
Bright Blessings!
