LABRADORITE
Labradorite, the Stone of Light and Enlightenment, an unassuming, sometimes drab stone that will put on a dazzling show of light and colour.

Labradorite is all about the Inner Light. The principle here is that when we allow ourselves to be open to Light, we reveal to ourselves our inner awareness, also expressed as light.

Labradorite’s stunning light display is the result of its many crystal layers receiving and reflecting light back at different frequencies. Energetically, it works in the same way, awakening and illuminating the different levels of our awareness. It aids us in exposing deeply buried subconscious and unconscious belief patterns, thus giving us the opportunity to address these patterns. If they don’t serve our highest or truest purpose in life, our awareness of them means we have the opportunity to change or modify them. In this way, labradorite helps us to realign with our Truth. For those with emotional issues, this realignment may lead to greater self-confidence and reduced anxiety. For those who are consciously on the path of spiritual development, working through the levels may reveal ones Divine purpose.

It is said that labradorite helps us to see beyond the mundane world, and to perceive and move between alternate realities and dimensions. It awakens ones intuition and sharpens existing talents such as clairvoyance, astral travel and prophecy. Practitioners of the inter-dimensional arts, such as tarot readers, psychics, magicians and the like will find labradorite a helpful ally.

On each level, labradorite protects us by creating a force field that prevents others from accessing and using our energy.

Labradorite hints at the oneness of all reality, as its intense inner light, generated by the refraction of light through its many levels, and the outer light, are in fact from the same source and are thus one and the same.

Physically, labradorite is said to regulate metabolism and digestion, and even to be of benefit in treating eye disorders.
