So….march was my month of getting to know green aventurine. I was especially excited about this because my eldest daughter, Sophie, has always loved green aventurine. But boy oh boy, it felt discordant to me! I have done a lot of reading about it to try to figure this out - it is meant to resonate with the heart chakra, to inspire creativity and new ideas, and to be an excellent comforter. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it is a great crystal for spring as it represents the newness of regrowth. It wasn’t until I got to one sentence from one of my favorite crystal healers, Naisha Ahsian, that I started to realize what I may have been reacting to, “It engenders body activity and movement…and helps to correct lethargy and depletion.” I think the energy that I was feeling from spending time with the green aventurine started to feel like it wouldn’t let me rest! Every time I sat down to ‘chill’ it would give me a nudge. Lets be honest, thats kind of annoying! Looking back on my month with green aventurine I learned a lot about it - and about myself. It would be the perfect crystal to wear during a busy week where you want to stay balanced and calm AND keep moving! I ended up taking it off at certain times of day, and at least two hours before bedtime. So, if you need a little extra help to get up and go, and to keep moving, green aventurine would be a great companion.
