Zoisite: The Spiritual Guide

Each zoisite stone is unique in appearance—they are dark green, black, and purple with a pattern that resembles a cheetah's spots. 

Zoisite has unique qualities, associations, and chakra alignments that can help you determine if it's the right crystal to incorporate into your healing practice. 

This blog post is focused solely on zoisite and how you can use it during your healing journey. If you're looking for general information about crystal healing, check out this blog post. 

A Spiritual Guide

Zoisite has been celebrated for centuries as a powerful spiritual guide. It is believed that the stone can help you with your spiritual journey and reconnect you to your true self. In fact, it's also known as the stone of return because so many people have used it to return to their roots. 

In the process of reconnecting one with their true self, this crystal is believed to help one deal with grief and repressed memories. Working through that with zoisite can also help one accept who they truly are and finally live their life authentically. 

Beyond helping with one's inner self, this crystal is also revered for helping one rediscover their passions and tap into their creativity. Living life authentically leaves room to pursue one's dreams and discover what they want to be doing with their future. 

Zoisite is associated with: 

• Spirituality 
• Self-discovery
• Passion
• Authenticity

If the above descriptions and associations hit close to home, it could be a sign that you should incorporate zoisite into your healing practice. Crystal healing relies on intentions and clear goals for what you hope the outcome of your journey will be. This means that you'll want to use crystals that align with the goals you bring into your practice. 

Zoisite is also primarily aligned with the heart chakra. Our heart chakra contains our ability to accept and receive love. When out of alignment, you might feel out of touch with others and lacking in self-love. It is believed that zoisite can bring the heart chakra back into alignment, making you feel loved and connected to those around you. 

Cleanse Your Zoisite

Crystal healing requires a lot of energy: energy from the person using the crystal and energy from the surrounding environment. Ideally, you'd want to be emitting positive energy during your practice, and using a crystal that's charged with positive energy. It's not guaranteed that your crystal will be ready to go upon arrival. During the process of packaging and shipping, it is likely that your zoisite element came into contact, and is now charged with, negative energy. 

That's completely natural! There are a few cleansing methods we recommend for zoisite that can get rid of negative energy. These aren't the only possibilities for cleansing. If you find a different method that works better for you, it is completely fine to use it!

The first method we recommend for cleansing zoisite is washing it with warm, soapy water. You can use the water from the tap for this. Take your crystal element and wash it with the warm, soapy water for about as long as you would wash your hands. Rinse the soap off and let your element fully dry before using it for healing. You can either let it air dry or dry it off with a soft, clean cloth. 

The second cleansing method we recommend is charging your zoisite in a full moon. Crystals come from the earth and can use the power of the moon to charge with positive energy. It's best to do this during a full moon when it is at its most powerful state. Leave your crystal element in the full moonlight overnight and your zoisite should be ready for use in the morning. 

The final method we recommend for cleansing zoisite is using selenite. Selenite is a crystal that is known for cleansing other crystals. We have three offerings of selenite charging plates that you can use to absorb negative energy from your crystal elements: the Chakra Selenite Charging Plate, the Zodiac Selenite Charging Plate, and the Tree of Life Selenite Charging Plate. 

Every month or so, it's vital to use a cleansing method to get rid of negative energy that your crystal might have picked up from daily wear. You don't have to use the same cleansing method you used the time before. Use what works best for you!

Set Your Healing Intention

Now that you've gotten rid of any negative energy surrounding your zoisite, it's time to begin your healing practice. The first step to crystal healing, regardless of the crystal you're using, is to rid your mind of any doubts or skepticisms you have about the practice. It is vital that you really open yourself up to the possibilities that crystal healing has to offer. Harboring doubts can potentially hinder the full effectiveness of your practice. 

After working through your hesitancies, you'll want to set an intention for your healing practice. An intention is essentially what you're hoping the outcome of healing will be. Your intention should be relatively specific and aligned with the properties and associations we shared above. 

For example, you might consider setting an intention to fully embrace your spirituality so you can reconnect with your true self. You might also consider setting any intention to truly work through what you're repressing and fully healing so you can live a genuine life. 

Once you've decided on your intention, write it down somewhere that is easily accessible. Writing it down can help it feel tangible and will help you remember it each and every day. Then, take your crystal element in your hands and speak your intention into it a few times. This helps solidify what you intend for the outcome of your healing practice to be. As you go on with daily life, return back to that intention and think about if you're making decisions and acting in a way that aligns with that intention. 

As time passes, you might decided that you've achieved your desired outcome or your intention is no longer applicable. That's to be expected—life is constantly changing. To set a new intention, cleanse your crystal with your preferred cleansing method and repeat the intention-setting process. 

Uncover Your True Self

We hope that you're able to return to who you truly are with your healing practice. We believe in you and see you for who you really are.
