Larvikite crystal is a unique stone located only in the ancient lands of Norway’s Larvik Fjord region, carrying a raw power that resonates with the earth’s energy on a super deep level. A member of the Feldspar family, larvikite is often mistaken for black moonstone or labradorite, likely due to the way it catches the light in flashes of silver and blue, but don’t let its chameleon vibes fool you. This is a totally unique crystal energy that is believed to hold a wisdom that goes beyond lifetimes. Oh my! 

Perfectly suited to soul fragment retrieval (the process of recalling lost parts of yourself) especially under this week’s Scorpio’s new moon, larvikite crystal offers an energetic embrace that says, ‘You’re safe here. Let’s find what you’ve lost.’ 

The Scorpio new moon meditation works with larvikite crystal and can help you retrieve lost parts of yourself.

Larvikite and Soul Fragment Retrieval

Soul fragment retrieval is about reaching back into the shadowy parts of your own experiences, often to moments of pain or trauma, to reclaim aspects of yourself that may have splintered off. These fragments could be tied to events or even people that left us feeling lost or vulnerable. 

Scorpio, with its penetrating energy, gives you the courage to face these shadows without turning away. Larvikite, on the other hand, anchors as you navigate this deep territory, providing both protection and a clear pathway forward. Its grounded energy connects you back to your roots, helping you feel anchored while diving into realms of the subconscious.

If you feel like a part of you has been lost, perhaps a sense of childlike wonder, a spark of creativity, or a particular strength, larvikite is like a hand reaching out from the earth itself, steadying you as you reclaim these precious pieces. It helps balance the dance between the physical and spiritual realms, ensuring that you remain present and aware while gathering up what was once scattered.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Begin by taking a deep breath, inhaling through your nose, letting your lungs fill fully. Exhale gently through your mouth, releasing any tension. Feel your body soften, becoming more at ease with each breath. Continue like this for a few more moments.

Picture roots extending from the base of your spine, reaching deep into the earth, anchoring you here in the moment. 

As you breathe in again, set an intention within yourself to call back all parts of your energy that may be scattered across places, people or moments in the past. Trust that this quiet intention will help restore your sense of wholeness.

In your mind’s eye, imagine yourself surrounded by a warm, glowing light. Your energy field. Now, repeat the words in your head. “I now call back all parts of myself.” “I now call back all parts of myself.” 

Visualise these fragments as soft orbs of light, drifting back to you like stars returning to the night sky. Watch them merge with your energy field.

Allow these pieces to reintegrate, feeling your aura grow brighter and stronger with each breath. A deep sense of peace settles within as each fragment finds its place.

Now,bring to awareness a place, person or situation from which you’d like to release yourself. Picture a fine, golden cord connecting you to this memory. Visualise yourself cutting this cord. Feel it fall away. Notice how your energy feels lighter and more complete. 

When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.

Inner child healing with rose quartz crystal

Let’s be real: healing the inner child is no small task! So much of it involves facing feelings of abandonment or not feeling good enough, issues that often started in childhood (or even past lives!) but follow us into our adult lives, showing up in our relationships and how we treat ourselves. Rose quartz can help remind you that self-compassion is everything. It’s all about forgiving yourself, whether it’s for thinking you weren’t enough or for carrying those old hurts for far too long.

What makes rose quartz so perfect for inner child healing is its ability to connect us back to a sense of innocence and joy. Often, in adulthood, we become disconnected from the parts of ourselves that once found happiness in the simplest things.

Love yourself

By working with this crystal, we’re reminded that life isn’t just about the pain we’ve experienced, but also about the joy we are capable of feeling. It encourages us to look at the world with fresh eyes, just like we did when we were young. This is crucial in inner child healing because we’re not just here to soothe the wounds; we’re also here to reclaim the lightness and playfulness we might have lost along the way.

As you meditate with rose quartz, especially during powerful moments like the Aries Full Moon, you create space for a more peaceful, loving relationship with yourself. You might feel inspired to dance, laugh or indulge in something that makes your heart sing, no matter how small. This is the crystal reminding you that your inner child deserves joy, and so do you!

Ultimately, Rose Quartz is a balm for the soul. Its energy cultivates a deep sense of inner peace, helping us to stop the war we so often wage with ourselves. It’s like a sigh of relief, a reminder that you are safe, that you are loved, and that healing is possible.

Meditation to heal the inner child at the Aries full moon, October 17th, 2024

Here’s a meditation you might like to try to help connect with your inner child. Breathe deeply. Let each inhale fill your lungs with a sense of calm, and each exhale release any tension or worry.

Bring to mind a memory from your childhood, one where you needed comfort but didn’t receive it. Allow yourself to gently step into that moment, observing it as if you’re watching a scene unfold.

Breathe deeply, simply allowing any emotions or thoughts to flow through the body, letting them pass you by.

Now, imagine your adult self stepping into the memory. Visualise yourself approaching your younger self with love and compassion.

Open your arms and offer your inner child a loving hug. Feel the warmth and connection between you. Let your inner child know that you’re here now, that they’re safe, and you’ve got their back.

Kneel beside your inner child and offer them the comfort and support you needed back then. Speak softly, sharing the words you longed to hear, whether it’s reassurance, love, or simply a reminder that everything will be okay.

When you feel the connection has deepened, take a few moments to just be with your inner child. Breathe, allowing the feeling of comfort and love to wash over both of you.

When you are ready, gently return to the present moment. Take a deep breath and open your eyes slowly, bringing with you the peace and healing of this moment.

When you have finished, spend some time journaling on what came up during the meditation. Reflect on any emotions, insights, or thoughts. Consider if there’s anyone you need to forgive, whether it’s others or even yourself.

Meditation to heal the heart at the Libra solar eclipse, October 2nd, 2024

Here’s a meditation you might like to try to help you to visualise this healing energy. Breathe deeply. Let each inhale fill your lungs with a sense of calm, and each exhale release any tension or worry.  With each breath, you are slowly peeling away the layers of the outside world and stepping into a soft, safe space within yourself.

As you breathe, allow any tension in your body to gently release with each exhale. With every breath, feel yourself becoming more present in this moment. Continue like this for a few more moments.

Bring your attention to the centre of your chest, to the area of your heart where a small rose bud appears. With every breath you take, the rose starts to slowly open, revealing delicate pink petals..

This rose represents your heart, your emotions, and your soul’s journey. As the rosebud begins to unfurl, imagine each petal representing memories, relationships and experiences tied to old patterns.

Focus on the affirmation, “I release what no longer serves me and embrace the balance and harmony within my heart.”

With each exhale, see a petal gently falling away from the rose. As it falls, it is carried away by a soft, warm breeze. With each petal that falls, feel a sense of release and lightness growing in your heart. 

Continue breathing deeply and releasing more petals. Each petal falling away leaves you feeling freer and more at peace. There is no need to hold on to these old ways anymore. Trust that as you release them, you are making space for something new and more balanced to enter your life.

As the last petal falls, you are left with the centre of the rose in your heart. In this centre, you see a radiant golden light emerging. This light represents pure love, self-compassion, and inner harmony.

Feel this golden light expanding in your heart, filling the entire area with warmth and healing energy. With each inhale, the light grows brighter and stronger. With each exhale, it spreads further through your body, radiating outwards, surrounding you in a cocoon of warmth and peace.

Stay with this feeling of warmth and light in your heart centre for a few moments. 

Knowing that this golden light of self-love and balance will remain with you, even as the meditation comes to an end, slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your physical body. Open your eyes and focus on a feeling of forgiveness.

Meditation to receive insights from the higher realms under the Pisces full moon lunar eclipse on September 17th/18th, 2024

Breathe deeply as you feel your body begin to relax, sinking into the present moment. As you settle into this sacred space, close your eyes and take a deep breath in, allowing the breath to flow deeply into your body. As you exhale, let go of any tension or distractions. 

Imagine yourself standing on the edge of a vast and serene beach. The sand beneath your feet is soft and warm, inviting you to ground yourself in this moment. Feel the sun’s gentle rays on your skin, its warmth wrapping you in comfort and peace. Above you, the sky is painted in hues of pastel pinks, purples, and blues, reflecting the magical energy of Ancient Lemuria.

As you stand here, take a moment to feel your connection to this sacred land – an ancient place of wisdom and healing. Breathe in deeply, filling your lungs with the fresh ocean air, and as you breathe out, release any lingering worries or doubts.

In the distance, you notice shimmering figures approaching. These are the Lemurian beings, your guides, walking gracefully toward you. Their presence radiates pure love, kindness, and wisdom. They are here to support you on your journey, to offer their healing and guidance.

As they come closer, you sense their deep understanding of the universe, of energy, and of your soul’s path. Open your heart to their wisdom. What do they want you to know? Perhaps they offer you a message, or maybe it’s a feeling, a knowing. Trust whatever arises, for it is a gift meant just for you.

Now, slowly begin to step toward the crystal-clear water, the Lemurian guides by your side. As you wade in, feel the cool, healing energy of the ocean surrounding your feet, flowing up through your legs, and enveloping your entire body. This water is alive with the energy of Lemuria, washing away anything that no longer serves you, while filling you with divine light.

With each step, you feel lighter, more connected to the ancient wisdom that flows all around you. This is the energy of manifestation, of creation, of pure potential. As you move deeper into the water, allow yourself to focus on your intention. What is it that you wish to manifest? What desire burns brightly within you?

As you hold this vision in your mind, imagine it becoming clearer, more vivid, as though it is already manifesting in your life. The energy of Lemuria, the water, and the guides around you all merge with your intention, amplifying it. Feel the power of attraction growing within you, drawing your deepest desires closer to reality.

Now, gently turn your attention to the sky above. Imagine a beam of light descending from the stars, brilliant and pure, shining down upon you. This light is your connection to your galactic guides, your higher self, and the universe. Feel this light touch the crown of your head, sending waves of clarity and wisdom through your entire being. As this light flows through you, it anchors your manifestations into reality, aligning your energy with the frequency of your desires.

Spend a few moments here, absorbing this energy, this wisdom. Breathe it in deeply, allowing it to flow through every cell of your body. This is your time to connect, to listen, to receive. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, and that the universe is working in harmony with your intentions.

When you are ready, gently begin to bring your awareness back to the beach, feeling the sand beneath your feet once more. The Lemurian guides smile, sending you their love and blessings as they gently fade into the distance, but their energy remains with you. Take a moment to express gratitude for the wisdom and healing you have received.

As you slowly return to the present moment, take one last deep breath in, and exhale slowly. Wiggle your fingers and toes, allowing yourself to fully come back to your body. And when you’re ready, gently open your eyes, feeling refreshed, empowered, and deeply connected to the wisdom of Lemuria and the universe.
