The virtues and significance of Amazonite in lithotherapy
What are the benefits of Amazonite?
Amazonite invites you to reconnect with the feminine part of your being, whether you're a man or a woman. We all carry within us the feminine (lunar - yin) and masculine (solar - yang) polarities. Both are essential to finding our center, our balance and harnessing our potential fairly and effectively.
Connecting with the sacred feminine
Right now, we're talking a lot about the wild woman and the sacred feminine. But what does the sacred feminine have to do with the feminine? In my opinion, we speak of the sacred feminine when the feminine has been explored. In other words, when we've become aware of and freed ourselves from the masks we wear, the patterns we repeat and the wounds we unconsciously let speak. This requires an inner journey, to meet our shadows.
Amazonite has the power to encourage you to explore your Yin energies, all that relates to the feminine part of you. On the way to meeting this part of yourself, it invites you to listen to it, to heal the wounded parts, to make peace with all its particularities and facets.

Amazonite to fully embrace your feminine energies
Whether you're a man or a woman, Amazonite opens you up to yin energies. It allows you to dare to be gentle and welcoming. It teaches you that your sensitivity is a strength and that you shouldn't be afraid of it or hide it.
Listening and caring, Amazonite encourages you to take time to step back, time to be alone, to get closer to yourself.
It teaches you that you can also receive and not always give, that you can also simply Be and not always do.
What I like about this stone
From my point of view, she carries within her the energy of the 4 main feminine archetypes and their wisdom: the virgin, the mother, the enchantress and witch, but also, in her own way, that of the warrior who knows how to set limits when necessary.
She helps me gain self-confidence and assert myself as a woman and reminds me of my strengths while welcoming my "weaknesses" with kindness and respect.
