Healing Properties of Pietersite
Pietersite is an intense stone to work with and can bring short-term upheaval in the interest of long-term transformation and healing. It is perfect for people who feel stuck and that they need their inner world to be a bit shook up so they can find a sense of purpose and direction again.
If you feel lost, uncertain, or blocked, working with pietersite can clear out this stagnant energy and bring you back into alignment with your true intentions for this lifetime. This can take the form of an emotional catharsis that brings unfelt experiences to the surface to be processed. Like Moldavite, this isn’t for you if are wanting more peace and harmony in the short run, but if you are ready for a real shift in your life, it is a good choice.
With connections to both the third chakra (willpower) and sixth chakra (intuition), pietersite is also a powerful stone to use while exploring astral travel. It can help you stay centered and connected to your intention which can sometimes slip away as you enter the astral plane.
Pietersite supports intuition and can spark flashes of insight into how things work or what is really going on. It is a good stone for students, inventors, seekers, or anyone trying to figure the world out in some way.
