Pietersite Metaphysical Healing Properties
Pietersite is a very high vibrational stone that stimulates the Pineal gland. By doing so the ‘Tempest Stone’ as it is known, works on and increases your intuition and helps you recognize what specific spiritual goals you need and then start down the path to reach them. This makes it a very valuable stone for anyone that does energy work or wants to increase their intuition. Due to the colour combination, it works through both your Third-Eye and your Solar Plexus Chakras in order to bring balance and guidance. It is a calming and protective stone, particularly when you are traversing ‘stormy weather’ both physically and emotionally. It is also helpful to calm animals or pets that get agitated in bad weather conditions.
Pietersite is a stone of strength and empowerment and allows you to recognize any unwanted emotions that you are holding from this life or past ones and release them for your better good. Pietersite is a very creative stone that stimulates your creative thinking and allows you to see things from all angles in order to find the best solutions. Affirmation: I am in tune and listen to my higher self.
