Jewel of the Month: Zoisite

Zoisite was first discovered in Austria towards the end of the eighteenth century and was named after the mineral collector Freiherr Von Zois. Zoisite’s green color comes from the presence of chromium and vanadium and it forms in rough masses. Zoisite masses occasionally have Ruby scattered throughout the stone. Zoisite stimulates fertility and if Ruby is present it increases potency. Zoisite stimulates the crown chakra and the sacral (2nd) chakra, which is associated with fertility. Zoisite assists with decomposition of negativity and transforms the negative energy into positive energy fields, transforming destructive attitudes into constructive attitudes. Zoisite assists us with our creativity and helps us to realize our own ideas and desires.

Monthly Jewel:

Spring is the time that gardens are being prepared for planting. In preparation for planting seeds and the growth of new seedlings, the gardener takes special care in his soil preparation. The gardener provides mulch to help retain moisture, composted yard and food waste and manure to fertilize and add essential nutrients to the soil. The gardener knows that a healthy, fertile soil will provide high yields of crops, flowers and hardy trees. Poor soil provides undernourished, diseased plants that yield poorly. The gardener knows the importance of having fertile soil before planting the seeds for new growth. What are you doing to provide fertile soil for the seeds of your ideas and dreams? Are you experiencing doubt and fear about planting your seeds of creativity or are you filled with joy and excitement? The energy of Zoisite will assist you in the process of turning your inner soil into fertile ground that is ready for planting. Take your fears, doubts, negative thoughts and attitudes and send them into the ground for Mother Earth to compost and transform into fertilizer for your inner soil. Take some time to go out into your garden or on some grass, close your eyes and visualize yourself sending those fears, doubts and negativity into the ground. Feel this negative energy, this waste going out from the soles of your feet into the earth. The “souls” of our feet are our “soul” connection to the earth. Take a deep breath and feel the positive, nurturing energy rising back in through the soles of your feet from the Earth Mother. Take that wonderful, positive energy into your body to nourish your soil in preparation of planting your seeds of creativity.
