Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Deb Bowen.

And I'm Samantha Faye.

We're just so delighted and honored that you have joined us as we talk about a topic that actually was suggested to us by a listener

a while back and Samantha and I spent some time doing some research and looking at the metaphysical ideas of your shadow's sides.

So we're going to be talking about that tonight. We're really excited about that.

Before we get into that topic, of course if you're a regular listener to the show, you know that we have a crystal of the week and an animal of the week.

And we have reinstituted at your request our meditation of the week. So Samantha, would you like to begin with the crystal?

Sure. I thought that since we were discussing the shadow side which represents you know darker sides of our unconscious that I would discuss Moonstone.

Oh, okay.

It's a good stone to use when you are working on incorporating your shadow side.

So Moonstone is known to balance the emotions.

It encourages loving acceptance of the self. It increases intuition.

It's predominantly known as a protective stone for travelers, especially over water or at night.

So it's recommended that you keep a tumbled Moonstone in your club compartment of your car.

It's also said to increase fertility. So it's recommended that you wear Moonstone or a tucco under your pillow when trying to conceive.

It is a stone of romantic love. In India, it's a traditional wedding gift because Moonstone helps to symbolize love and loyalty and fidelity.

It ignites the heart chakra. You can meditate with Moonstone to help clear your chakra's of negativity.

If you give someone Moonstone as a gift, it is said to symbolize your love and faithfulness to them.

It's been used in jewelry for over 2000 years, which is kind of awesome to think about.

It's also said to increase self acceptance and confidence in artists.

So if you know an artist, it's a good stone for them to have.

And Moonstone comes in a lot of different varieties.
