How to Activate Labradorite
To activate labradorite, consider using a serene blue candle to align with the stone’s mystical energy. Place the blue candle on your altar or in a safe space where you can meditate without interruptions. The blue candle’s flame symbolizes the deep, reflective waters and the sky, resonating well with labradorite’s connection to intuition and the higher realms.
Sit comfortably in a quiet area, ensuring you’re free from distractions. Close your eyes and focus on taking deep, slow breaths to calm your mind and body. Allow all thoughts to drift away, inviting a peaceful state of being. As you enter this tranquil space, mentally reach out to your labradorite, feeling its vibrant, protective energy.
