Ahh Summer Solstice – the first day of summer; a time to celebrate the sun as it rises in the Northeast, hits directly over the Tropic of Cancer, and sets in the Northwest. On this day the sun stays out longer, supercharging our fiery, passionate aspects. During the week before and following the Solstice, our bodies undergo a cleansing period. Our physical bodies undergo detoxification, our minds will be clear and receptive to information from Spirit, and our emotional pain releases to help us heal. During this time we are aligned with what is best for us. It is a time of healing, clarity, manifestation, forgiveness, and opportunity. It is a time to look at what causes us pain and let go of those toxic emotions, grudges, relationships, or patterns.

My rising sign is Cancer so I am very sensitive to the Summer Solstice. This day fills me with vitality and passion. I transformed this energy toward the one thing I always manifest, my healing crystals. I have used this time of clarity and creation to visualize a few pendants that remind me of summer. There is a pendant for each chakra and each one has its own story. However, they all have in common the clarifying, passionate, healing, and aligning properties of Summer Solstice and the energy I have from this day.

These pendants are for the ones who are held back by judgment. These pendants are for the ones trying to find their spirit and work out of ego. They are for ones who have been harmed by others and are looking to recover. They are for the ones who feel powerless or disconnected. These pendants will help those who get discouraged manifest and have trust in the universe. These pendants will help those who feel stuck receive information from universe on what their next move should be. These pendants are for those who often repress their emotions or hold on to emotions. These pendants will help you release. They will help you love. They will help you surrender to all that is and all that will be. They resemble trust, freeing of the mind and of the heart, and forgiveness. They resemble vitality, life, and creation.

Today I am wearing the new Pink Mangano Calcite pendant. I felt drawn to this stone because of the energies it carries that assist in self-acceptance and self-worth. I am going shopping with a friend today and like many other women out there, I get more and more down on myself with everything I try on and will often end the day feeling insecure. I feel I need a boost of confidence! Mangano Calcite – along with Rose Quartz, Rhodochrosite, or Chrysocolla – helps one develop confidence, a sense of self-worth, and self-acceptance. Confidence is feeling strong and empowered in your own body. Self-worth is being able to recognize your value as a human and soul. Self-acceptance is being able to recognize your flaws and remain appreciative of yourself. All three are very hard to achieve and sustain; especially when we live in a society that constantly compares, criticizes, and tells women how they should and shouldn’t look.

Since I put this necklace on, I already feel more confident and beautiful in my own skin. I feel excited to go out today and hang out with my friend. Not only do I feel more beautiful in myself, but I feel better able to spread my confidence onto others. I see more clearly, optimistically, and appreciatively this morning. With this, my anxiety is lifting and floating away. I am no longer worried about who I might see, what they might think, etc. Mangano Calcite is a great stone for healing nervous conditions and anxiety. It also helps one mentally and emotionally overcome past fear, grief, or trauma that might cause limitations.

Today I feel free, beautiful, fearless, and flawless! Thank you Mangano Calcite.
