Embrace The Change features matte black labradorite, rainbow moonstone and our custom engraved stainless steel logo bead and charm. Labradorite is known for the play of light and colours across its surface, known as labradorescence, and was discovered in Canada where the native peoples of the north thought it to be the lights of the aurora borealis trapped in stone. A stone of transformation, labradorite is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. Since its discovery, it has been adopted into spiritual practice for its abilities to help dispel negativity, inspire creativity, help influence psychic abilities, and balance the Chakras. Labradorite boosts self-confidence and promotes right use of the will, which can help you eliminate bad patterns in thoughts and actions, thus being a helpful tool in dealing with all forms of addiction. Physically, labradorite is thought to help with hormonal regulation and ease the discomforts of the change of life as well as premenstrual syndrome. Considered a stone of new beginnings, inner growth, and strength, moonstone has always been associated with the moon and feminine energy. The glowing and shifting sheen of colours in moonstone is known as chatoyancy. In ancient times, moonstone was used as a symbol of fertility, sensuality, and the inner goddess, awakening feelings of nurturing, patience, abundance and ancient wisdom. Moonstone is prized for its ability to balance hormonal cycles, aid with digestive or elimination issues, assimilate nutrients, eliminate toxins, and aid with fluid retention. Moonstone is associated with the third eye and crown chakras and is thought to activate the pineal gland, which is responsible for the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. The special characteristics of these stones have been chosen to act as a support in calmly and gracefully dealing with the physical and mental challenges that are presented with menopause, from insomnia and mood swings to hot flashes and sleeplessness.
