Could you tell me some of the metaphysical qualities of Labradorite please?
Labradorite is a rare feldspar named after the region of Canada where it was discovered, although it has since been found in Australia, Finland, Sicily, Norway and the Ukraine. It is noted for its stunning iridescence, caused by light bouncing off inclusions of magnetite. This unique effect is known as “labradoescence”.
In healing, its iridescence acts as a reflective shield to protect the aura of the wearer. For example, any relationship problem, especially one that you can feel draining your energy reserves, will be alleviated by wearing this stone. One common side effect of the healing process is that the other person involved will experience a change in your demeanour - they may comment, for example, that you have become less friendly of slightly more distant. The phase will pass, however, as the energy flow between you and the other person becomes more balanced.
Healing functions:
- Heightens our ability to focus on personal issues without letting external influences affect us.
- Helps us to allow for other people’s difficult emotions or moods.
- Encourages us to embrace new ideas and opportunities.
- Increases our ability to shift awareness outside the normal range.
To release any form of negative energy from the body, including environmental stress, place seven tumbled labradorite around the body: one at the head and one by each foot; and two evenly spaced on each side of the body. Finally, place a fluorite at the base of the throat/top of the sternum.
