Epidote – Stone of Personal Power

 

The healing properties of Epidote, a stone that benefits Body, Mind and Spirit.

Today I want to talk about Epidote. I’m wondering how many people are familiar with this stone, and I’m hoping that after today’s introduction all of you who don’t know Epidote will request a personal meeting.

Epidote is usually a dark green color, almost black, like licorice, and it comes in different formations. I’m particularly fond of the hexagonal crystals, but it can also look quite a lot like Tourmaline, especially when it exists as needles included in Quartz.

In Crystal Surgery, we use Epidote in a very specific manner to pull the cords of socialization and criticism, including self-criticism. If this were Epidote’s only use, that would certainly be enough for me, because observing how destructive and limiting our socialization and experiences of being criticized actually are, and how profoundly internalized our self-criticism becomes, I understand the significance of shifting this dynamic.

When I look up Epidote in Melody’s encyclopedia, Melody says: “Epidote dispels critical-ness, enhances keen perception, stimulates participation and interaction, and supplements personal power.

“Epidote has been used to assist one in augmenting in the material world — augmentation of one’s wealth and/or of one’s possessions, as well as increase in one’s friendships, loves, relationships, employments, etc.”

Phew, that’s really a lot, isn’t it! I wasn’t actually registering that list consciously, but what I have been noticing is that Epidote always makes things feel better, and now I can understand why — in a nutshell, it expands positive energies.

Recently, I have acquired several stones that have Epidote inclusions, and these beauties have lifted my work to another level. We can get to that in a moment, but first let’s look at a well-known stone that combines Epidote with Feldspar — and that is Unakite. Unakite is a combination of Green Epidote and Pink Feldspar and it is a phenomenally soothing mineral that Melody says: “helps us to experience the beauty of love through enlightenment.” Unakite has many properties, including that it helps with gentle release of blockages.
