At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Vanadinite was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She’s got boundless curiosity and enjoys helping others. So when someone crosses her path with a question or problem, she indulges in what pleases her soul. Other people don’t interrupt her own journey. She enjoys each surprising detour because she trusts the timing of her own life. She recognizes that sometimes helping others, is a way to help herself. When she points the way forward for someone else, it reminds her to check her own spiritual compass and make subtle adjustments to her course. She is strong, knowledgeable and shines with goodwill and bright Light. She is an explorer and a wise woman, a blessing to all who meet her
A friend of hers thinks she’s amazing and appreciates all the times that this wise traveler has paused for a moment to offer help and guidance. The friend recognizes how much her own sense of curiosity has increased, directly because of the helper’s good example and openness. She wants her to know that she is loved and admired!
Their Stone
Vanadinite encourages us to embrace and dance down our own winding spiritual path. It invites us to take action and to link our everyday life with our personal growth and well-being. It has a playful, creative, happy energy that encourages us to ask more questions, ponder them from multiple angles, and explore the possibilities. Vanadinite inspires true common sense and helps us to break free from all the ridiculous “shoulds” that so often hold us back. Vanadinite acts as a good friend, guiding us to a place where we can consciously be true to ourselves and come into our full power. Vanadinite offers gifts of patience and endurance. It helps us keep the big picture in mind while also being grounded in the present moment. It also reminds us to not lose sight of the fact that there are parts of us that are already good just the way we are. Not everything requires improvement. Some parts of us just need to be trusted and enjoyed!
