Menopause is the third of three important stages in a woman’s life.  The first stage is The Maiden, the second stage is The Mother, and the third stage is The Crone.  This third, very powerful stage of The Crone, is where we get to embrace our truth and inner wisdom, whilst celebrating a new phase of life.  Unfortunately though, for many women it can also be a time of physical, emotional and hormonal stress with symptoms that can sometimes last for years, including post-menopause.  It is a natural part of life, yet not everyone experiences the same symptoms.  Some suffer them with more severity than others while others barely notice any symptoms at all.

This is where healing crystals can make a huge difference. 

You will notice that some of the crystals mentioned below are beneficial in more ways than one.  I was guided to create this Menopause Cluster Necklace with some of these crystals.

Some crystals will be extremely helpful for everyone, however you should intuitively choose the ones that best suit you, depending on your own symptoms.

There are many different ways to use crystals, so I always suggest you choose the way that best suits you.  Either carry some tumble stones in your pocket, or wear them as jewellery.  Putting them under your pillow can also help you sleep better.

Here are some crystal suggestions for you:

Amethyst

Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser, it relieves stress and strain, soothes irritability, balances mood swings, dispels anger, rage, fear and anxiety.  It enhances memory and relieves insomnia. 

Chrysoprase

Chrysoprase is excellent for relaxation and promoting a peaceful night's sleep, helping to reduce restless legs syndrome.

Citrine

Citrine cleanses the chakras.  It is emotionally balancing, energising, and releases depression.  Citrine also aids digestion.

Fluorite

Fluorite increases our powers of concentration and self-confidence.

Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli alleviates insomnia and overcomes depression. 

Lepidolite

Lepidolite stabilises mood swings, soothes and reduces stress and depression.

Malachite

Malachite balances mood swings and lowers blood pressure.

Moonstone

Moonstone assists with all hormonal stages of life.  It stabilises the emotions, aids the digestive system, and eliminates fluid retention.

Turquoise

Turquoise stabilises mood swings.  It is excellent for depression and exhaustion, and it also has the power to prevent panic attacks.

Each of these crystals also have other healing qualities in addition to the ones I've mentioned above.  They are here as a guide for you and your own personal experiences and symptoms.  If you feel drawn to any in particular - whether you have the symptoms mentioned or not - I do recommend that you follow that inner guidance.  We are always drawn to the crystals that we need most.

Let me know if you need any further help.
