Lepidolite

Sleep Aid: Specifically effective for overcoming insomnia, night terrors, and sleep apnea by calming the nervous system.

How to Cleanse & Charge:
-
Moonlight: This is the best way to charge Lepidolite. Leave it out during a Full Moon to soak up the "cool" lunar energy.
-
Smoke Cleansing: Use Lavender or Sage smoke to clear away the heavy anxiety the stone absorbs.
-
NO Water: Lepidolite is a very soft, micaceous stone (it grows in thin layers). Water can cause it to flake or degrade over time.
-
Selenite: Placing it on a Selenite slab is a safe, dry way to keep its vibration high and pure.
How to Use It:
-
For Better Sleep: Slip a flat piece of Lepidolite inside your pillowcase to quiet a "racing mind" and encourage peaceful dreams.
-
For Stress Management: If you feel a panic attack coming on, rub the surface of the stone; its "lithium" energy helps ground the nervous system.
-
During Meditation: Hold it to help you access the "theta" state (deep relaxation) more quickly and clearly.
Where to Keep It:
-
The Bedroom: The most common place for Lepidolite to ensure the environment remains a sanctuary for rest and recovery.
-
Workspace: To filter out the stress of deadlines and prevent "burnout" during long hours.
-
The "Zen" Corner: Wherever you go to journal or decompress after a long day.
-
Left Pocket: Keeping it on the "receiving" side of the body helps you absorb its tranquil, soothing frequencies throughout the day.
