Amiee Carlton, founder of Liferocks.store, attempts to bring the “out there” here, and unravel the minefield that is Crystals. Amiee is an energy and motivational coach. She uses crystals as a modality for realignment and stimulation of the subtle bodies. Her aim is to educate us on the vibrational powers of crystals one month at a time.

This month we are going to learn about the pearl.

The pearl, although a gem, is in fact not a crystal, however, it is believed to hold many metaphysical and healing properties. 

The life of a pearl is an interesting one. It is a gem that actually comes into form through a living being (a mussel, or clam) repeatedly secreting a special coating into an infected area of its own shell. Over time and repetition a pearl is formed. Such action of nurture and self-care makes it no surprise that the healing energy of this wonderful gem is so linked to self-worth and internal clarity.

Pearls have a very deep feminine connection. This is likely because they form in the water which is the feminine element, and are strongly linked with the moon, which is also feminine.

This feminine frequency makes pearls a wonderful tool to bring our personal femininity into balance. For women, the pearl stimulates our inner goddess and for men, the pearl can simply realign their feminine attributes which is so vital for our inner biology and feelings of calm. Such balance and connection can be particularly healing and supportive to water signs

Again, this deep watery element is really what makes pearls so helpful for our personal healing, assisting us to “go with the flow” and supporting our minds to be clearer so we can act with more balance, purity and diplomacy. Its frequency can clear cloudy situations to allow space for clarity and truth, something I think we all could benefit from right now.

This magical, water gem is very absorbent, meaning that it will “hold” onto the energies of its wearer. Be mindful if you are in a negative space or dealing with strong emotions while wearing a pearl. It will hold onto this frequency until cleansed and allowed to flow to release it. To do this, simply run the pearl under cool running water to let the energy flow from the stone.

This nurturing and holding of energy by the pearl, in fact, helps the wearer to release these energies from the self (and into the gem) allowing clarity and purity of mind to enable a deeper connection to truth over reactive emotion. 

To work with Pearl and align your frequencies I suggest holding one in your left hand in a quiet space for 5 minutes a day for two weeks. Focus on your breath and allow your mind to wonder. Don’t “stop” thoughts but try to let them float by. The brain will go into alpha or theta brainwaves which allows the unconscious to become more accessible.

After five minutes (set a timer) write whatever comes to mind for two to three minutes. Don’t overthink it. Re-read your notes after two weeks and see what went on, you will be surprised.

Do note that a lot of the work and alignment and balancing will be going on in the few minutes you are holding the stone.

If you cant handle this, Sleep with the pearl under your pillow and note your dreams on waking. Again, have a read after two weeks and see what went down in your unconscious hours.
