Moonstone was the stone for February, the 2nd EarthWork subject that was set for our FB Group, The Wisdom of the Skulls, to delve deeper into the Crystalline Kingdom, to further explore the relationship between crystals/stones and their habitat, how they form, why certain crystals are found in certain places on the planet, their function based on their geographic position etc.
This month I worked with with a single skully, Lola Imik, a Green Moonstone skully.
Moonstone is very much in it's Element working on it's own but will happily work with other Stones.
I asked Lola about Moonstone's function within Gaia. She responded that Moonstone is very much about Earth's Flow... particularly regarding Fluids... so is very primarily a 'Surface' crystal, in that, it works to promote Flow... extending that 'Aid' to Life-Forms that live on this planet.
Many Life-Forms are essentially made up of Water and Moonstone attempts to bring Harmony and Balance to the Flow within those Life-Forms... for those who are aware of Dr. Masuru Emoto's work, Emotions and Fluids go hand-in-hand... and it is this Relationship that Moonstone tries to Balance.
I asked her if it was any co-incidence that Moonstone should have come up just as the protests against DAPL at Standing Rock was ongoing. She replied that indeed this was the exact Moment that Moonstone needed to be truly understood. Those at Standing Rock understood the importance of Gaia's Waters... the Flow must Flow untainted...
Just as Hu-man Emotions are connected to their Flow so it is for Gaia. If you poison the Water you affect the Flow... it's akin to putting poison into your body... it affects the Function of the body. And not only does it affect the Fluids, it affects the Emotions.
This is one of the reasons that Hu-mans were so passionate about what was happening at Standing Rock. The Waters needed help and this affected the Resonance of the Fluids within those Hu-mans sensitive enough to feel the danger of this action. Just as Dr Emoto found that harsh words affected the Structure of Water... this Protest was more than just a Protest... it was an Emotional Response to Gaia's plight.
Lola explained to me that Flow needed to be free... you cannot seek to control the Flow. There are Ebbs and Tides and this is how is should be... you cannot have one without the other. As Tides go out, so must they come in. She said 'See how this is relevant to the Flow of Hu-man Fluids?'
I wondered about the different types of Moonstone, particularly the Rainbow/Blue that contain other Minerals (thinking here the little black flecks that are commonly seen)... Moonstone is formed in Layers, this again can be likened to the Hu-Man Emotional System, made of many Layers and once you peel away one Emotion, another surfaces to take it's place or Aid it's 'fellow' in bringing Balance to the Hu-man. OK, so that makes sense.
Then think on the inclusions and imperfections in Moonstone... see what that represents in relation to the Fluids of Life-Forms, Lola continued.
I particularly wanted to delve into the relationship between the Moon and the Tidal System on the Planet... all she was willing to share at this point was that the Moon acted like a kind of 'remote control'... something Gaia put in place to keep the Waters from wreaking havoc... Gaia's Waters are temperamental and sometimes in her Wrath she cannot control 'her' Emotions, she becomes tempestuous and full of fury (thinking unpredictable storms/tsunamis here), particularly when Hu-mans don't heed the Natural Order. The Moon acts as a safety valve if you like.
As a footnote... It seemed that not many felt able to participate in this month's theme so I came back to Lola to ask her if she could tell me why that might be.
Her response was that as she had told me earlier, you cannot seek to truly control the Flow. Likewise, Hu-mans will open up (let the Flow run) when they are ready. Because Moonstone is working on a Planetary Emotional Level, maybe some were not in the Right Moment to release that Flow as it would have affected their own Fluids. I can certainly relate to that as I found my own workings this month were restricted to this one conversation, I had many things going on at home that were affecting the whole family Emotionally. She finished rather cryptically with 'Think on this... a Whispering Scream versus a Screaming Whisper'. I am still pondering on that...
