Moonstones For Dreamers

Moonstones are like magic gems that bring love and lots of good stuff into your life.

Moonstones, these gems are named cause they look like the glowing moon in the night sky, and offer us more than just pretty looks. They’re all tied in with moon goddesses all over the world, which might be why they seem to help out people who are out under the moon, whether it’s travelers, sailors, lovers, or even dreamers. All over the world, people have given moonstones magical powers, saying they have the same powers as the moon, even during the day.

Moonstones, which look like raindrops or tears, have always reminded people in Asia that when it’s raining, you can’t see the moon, just like how tears can make it hard to see. In India, they’re said to give you sweet, nice dreams at night, but they’ve also gotten a reputation for making your intuition and spiritual vision, or “third eye,” better at any time of day.

In the Middle Ages in Europe, people thought gazing at a moonstone was like a magic sleep potion that made you see the future. And get this – they also believed moonstones had a fertility superpower! In Arabia, ladies sewed them into their clothes to boost their baby-making abilities. Not just that, moonstones were even said to help crops grow, so folks hung them in their fruit trees before harvest.

Moonstones are like little beacons of hope and abundance, guiding us toward a future filled with awesomeness. They’ve got this magical ability to help us see all the good stuff that’s in store for us. If you want to give your moonstone a power boost, just pop it outside under a full moon. It’ll soak up all that mystical energy and become even more powerful. Cool, right?

Embracing Bliss

When you write a poem, it’s like taking your thoughts on a wild ride. It’s like your brain goes on vacation for a bit, and you just let the words flow.

Listen up! Makin’ art ain’t just ’bout showin’ off your skillsβ€”it’s like a major meditation sesh (enjoyable activity) and a way to let your true self shine through. Picture this: you’re flinging paint onto a canvas with all your might, shedding the world’s burdens like a boss. Or maybe you’re belting out high notes with your squad, and it’s like your fears are fadin’ away, makin’ room for you to reach new heights in life. That’s the power of creativity, my friend!

Meditation isn’t just about sitting still, it’s about creating poetry. When you put your heart and soul into a poem, it takes you on a wild ride deep inside yourself, like a temporary trip to your inner world where your mind can just float free!

Writing poetry is like other forms of meditation,. It’s all about staying in the moment, fully present, and not worrying over the outcome. When you do that, you let go of all your inhibitions and preconceived notions about what “needs to happen.” That’s when the magic happens, and your thoughts just flow through you, as easily as a summer breeze.

When you write poetry, it’s like your deepest self is spilling out onto the page. It’s a reflection of your inner world, laid bare for all to see. So, embrace the bliss, let your thoughts roam free, and see where your poetry takes you.

 If you’re looking for a way to use poetry as a meditation practice, here’s a cool exercise you can try.

First things first, find a quiet place where nobody will bother you for the next 20 minutes or so. Check out some poems written by other people for some inspiration, and see if any particular style tickles your fancy. Don’t be afraid to go wild and try out Freeform writing too!

Writing a poem isn’t that complicated. Just grab a pen and paper and let the words flow, friends. Don’t even freak out about what you’re gonna say next, or if your spelling and grammar are on point. Just be as descriptive and creative as you wanna be. When you’re done, take a step back, read over what you wrote, and let it vibe from within!

Just wanted to say that your work is going to be awesome! And guess what? It might even bring up some old thoughts and feelings that you’ve been pushing down. Don’t worry, it’s all good! Writing poetry is like meditation – it helps you chill out and let your soul express itself. That’s pretty cool, huh?

Post your poems here, if you are willing – there is zero judgment @ LBD β™₯

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl
