SUNSTONE

Sunstone carries the energies of the sun. It is a leadership stone that offers personal power, freedom, and expanded consciousness. It brings openness, benevolence, warmth, strength, mental clarity, and the willingness and ability to bestow blessings upon others. Known as a joyful stone, Sunstone inspires us to nurture ourselves in order to be of service to others. It restores our enjoyment in life, good nature, and enthusiasm, and provides a sense of abundance.

It encourages independence and originality, is inspirational in revealing talents, and attracts fame and unexpected prosperity. It is an excellent stone for good luck. It increases vitality and is beneficial in starting, and maintaining, a fitness program or aerobic activity, and for occupations that require high energy throughout the day.

Sunstone provides a source of strength if we are emotionally dependent on others, or if we have suffered the sudden loss of a partner. It helps alleviate fearfulness and stress and protects against those who drain our energies or finances. It is an excellent crystal for those of us who suffer from phobias and eases our fear of the dark, enclosed places, or the presence of other triggers.

Sunstone is highly effective in cleansing the aura and chakras, and for removing hooks from possessive loved ones, lovers, or anyone draining our energies. It is especially beneficial when ties need to be cut, or if we have difficulty saying no. It helps remove co-dependency, overcomes procrastination, and encourages self-empowerment and independence.

Sunstone melts away the sense of unworthiness, and feelings of being discriminated against, disadvantaged, or abandoned. It emanates a rich and positive spectrum of energies that re-balance our emotional patterns, and encourage optimism and enthusiasm. It can help transform anger into energy, and judgment into joy.
