Crystal of the Month (June 2011) - LABRADORITE

[Annetta]

Available in store price £18.50

 

Considered one of the most beautiful, powerful and unique crystals in the world, labradorite is more than just a pretty sight.  It is named after the area of Canada it was first discovered.  Perhaps best known for its unique, utterly captivating iridescence - caused by tiny specks of light bouncing off the pieces of magnetite contained within it - the stone is often referred to as the 'illusion killer', due to its ability to help those wearing it see the nature of their intentions.  Also referred to as the stone of transformation, it encourages honesty with oneself and is thought to help users view their actions, thoughts and decisions more truthfully.  Anti-ego arrogance and illusion, it favours honesty over delusion, humility more than narcissism and patience rather than haste.  Banishing fears and insecurities, strengthening faith in oneself and the universe, and stimulating the imagination, it is believed to calm overactive minds and is excellent for heightening psychic abilities, grounding spiritual energies and revealing hidden talents and supernatural gifts.

 

HEALING EFFECTS ON DIFFERENT LEVELS:

 

SPIRITUAL : Labradorite assists one in moving between realities and connecting with unseen realms.  It enhances psychic abilities and increases one's capacity to visualise and perceive with the inner eye.  Labradorite is particularly useful for magical and ritual work and acts as psychic protection for those who travel and serve on other leverls of reality.

EMOTIONAL: Labradorite can aid in uncovering unconscious and subconscious belief patterns that generate unpleasant emotional states.  It can help one to become clearly aware of the source beliefs, self-talk and ego influence on one's habitual emotional states.

PHYSICAL: Labradorite can help reveal the nature of 'mystery illnesses'.  It can show the patterns that have created disease and can amplify one's healing thoughts and prayers

AFFIRMATION: 'I call forth the magic of higher awareness'
