9. WHICH STONE WILL HELP YOU FINISH FEBRUARY ?
Discover the Amethyst !
Amethyst is one of the most powerful protective stones, as it has a very high spiritual vibration. It blocks stress and negative energies. It cleanses, purifies and balances the body. In addition to healing and purifying, amethyst has the virtue of calming the mind, particularly in the case of addictions (alcohol, sugar, cigarettes) or blockages. The very etymology of its name: Amethustos in Greek means “sobriety”.
Amethyst can be worn as jewelry or placed on your desk or in your bedroom to help you achieve a deep sense of tranquility and understanding. It keeps distracting thoughts at bay, making you feel less scattered.
It’s an excellent stone for anxiety and therefore the 7th chakra: intuition, meditation and concentration. Perfect for schoolchildren! In Chinese medicine, amethyst is used to soothe stomach pains, but also to prevent nightmares and insomnia when placed under the pillow. For those who find it hard to relax and whose head cogitates a little too much, amethyst is a good remedy.
It is also the stone that celebrates the wedding of Cyprus: the 6th year of marriage.
In jewelry, depending on the intensity of its violet, which can vary from lilac to parma, amethyst goes very well with orange stones such as citrine, mandarin garnet or orange sapphire.
