Moving forward in a time of uncertainty takes courage and vision. The stones we have picked to begin the New Year enhance each other and inspire qualities that can assist in creating change and setting new intentions for the future.
CONFIDENCE: EMERALD
As a stone revered in many cultures throughout the world, emerald is prized for its beauty and depth. It has a calming effect on the emotions but has an invigorating effect on thought and reflection. With an ability to encourage focus, emerald can assist in restoring confidence when it has been challenged. By creating emotional equilibrium and belief in oneself, emerald is a stone that supports us moving forward.
REACHING GOALS: RED JASPER
With the ability to anchor us to the earth and keep us grounded, red jasper creates stability and solidity. It is a stone which inspires us to create action because we feel connected to the earth and the reassurance it offers. If you feel blocked by negative thought patterns, red jasper has the ability to ground you, allowing the earth’s energy to run through you and bring the courage to achieve your desires.
CLEAR ON PRIORITIES: CLEAR QUARTZ
Known for its high vibration, clear quartz creates clarity by clearing your body, mind and spirit of clutter. When it is difficult to identify what you want in life, clear quartz clarifies the vision of what it is you truly desire. If we are equipped with a strong vision, it becomes possible to manifest dreams into reality. Clear quartz has the ability to amplify the energy of other stones placed around it and for this reason, it is a perfect complement for the stones we have chosen for the New Year.
CREATIVITY: LAPIS LAZULI
Known as a stone of wisdom and truth, lapis deepens the connection to the self. Sometimes referred to as a “wisdom keeper” lapis encourages you to listen to your own knowledge and trust what you are thinking. Connected to the throat chakra and the third eye, lapis encourages self expression and creativity that comes from within.
