The Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings. As the name suggests, it is strongly connected to the moon and intuition. Like the moon and its cycles, this stone reminds us that everything is part of a cycle in constant change.

 

Its most powerful effect is to calm emotions.

 

The moonstone helps bring the unconscious into consciousness and strengthens intuition and empathy. It encourages lucid dreaming, especially during a full moon.

 

At the psychological level:

This stone is traditionally used to develop psychic abilities and clairvoyance.

Moonstone is filled with receptivity, passivity and feminine energies. Thus, it allows not to react too impulsively and to calm emotional difficulties. It balances feminine and masculine energies and also helps men who wish to come into contact with their feminine polarity.

 

On the mental level:

The moonstone opens the mind to serendipity and synchronicity.

 

On an emotional level:

The moonstone softens emotional instability and stress and rebalances emotions. It improves emotional intelligence. Placed on the solar plexus, it dissolves old emotional patterns. Moonstone provides deep emotional healing and helps heal blockages in the upper digestive tract that can be associated to stress.

 

At the Physical level:

Moonstone has a powerful effect on the cycles of women and helps reduce the discomforts of the menstrual cycle. It helps balance the hormonal system.

It is also a great help in case of shock and can help calm hypersensitive children.

 

In terms of healing:

Moonstone helps the digestive and reproductive systems by allowing better assimilation of nutrients, eliminating toxins. It reduces degenerative diseases affecting the skin, hair, eyes, certain organs (liver and pancreas). It is excellent for premenstrual syndromes, conception, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. An elixir of moonstone was traditionally used against insomnia and the stone can help to avoid sleepwalking.

After wearing your mala, the tassel can sometimes be less smooth. It is very simple to correct with a tiny bit of water and a hairbrush or comb. Lightly wet the tassel and brush it. It will dry naturally. If you are pulling a few thread, you can simply cut them so that all of the threads are at the same length. And here you are with a brand new tassel :)!
