This month on #fertilityinspiration we are combining a little bit of science with nature!
At the new moon this month (September 17th 2020) I have drawn 3 cards from the Creation Fertility Toolkit. Card 42 – fertility superfoods, card 1 – starry silence and card 37 – moonstone
This month I drew 3 cards from the Creation Fertility Toolkit Card 1 – starry silence – connecting with the moon and night sky, finding peace and silence as the evenings draw in and restful sleep to support hormone balance.Card 37 – moonstone – the crystals which connect with lunar energy and the reproductive cycle – helping to calm menstrual related tension and disorders and soothing and stabilising female energy as it connects with the moon cycle. Card 42 – fertility superfoods. This month as we connect with autumn and the equinox I am focusing on living also foods – specifically wheatgrass and broccoli sprouts. wheatgrass – full of chlororphyll this nutrient dense living food can be used to support fertility, hormone balance, stimulate the thyroid gland and metabolism. It is a great liver support and helps to alkaline the body. Broccoli sprouts – full of phytochemicals specifically sulforaphane glucosinalate this powerful spouting living food supports many conditions and I tend to recommend it for oestrogen conditions, cognitive performance, heart health, and stomach bugs. We shall be using these 2 wonder foods during the spleen cleanse which is a 10 day cleanse beginning 18th October. Full details at justineevans.co.uk and creationfertility.com
Due to the emotional and physical journey of trying to conceive I believe that fertility and pregnancy are arguably the most important times to benefit from healing gemstones. Gems including crystals have been worn for thousands of years and are rich in power and magic. You probably recognise that you are both unconsciously and consciously attracted to crystals/gems/beautiful things. Whatever you are attracted to you can either wear or hold it/them to empower your fertility or positive intentions.
Moonstone: With its watery pearly white sheen the crystal moonstone is believed to soothe and balance emotions without judgement, neutralising negative thoughts and feelings; open the heart and subconscious mind, release emotional patterns encourage focus and positivity.

It is a very feminine stone believed to help hormone production, metabolism and reproduction. Legend states that its brightness and power raises to its peak around the full moon.
Moonstones has long been known for its calming, soothing qualities. Its energy is balancing and healing, assisting in the mastery of emotions by bringing them under the control of Higher Will, rather than expressing or repressing them. Moonstone opens the heart as assisting in the acceptance of love. It is an excellent crystal for new love, and is a comforting talisman. It helps identify emotional patterns that are stored in the subconscious, and serves as a guardian to contain explosive passions, and to stimulate confidence and composure. Moonstones can be placed at the center of the chin (the Moon Center) to create this balance. Moonstone bestows a depth of feeling, a gentleness within the self that brings happiness to the wearer.
Moonstone is
the stone of eroticism, stimulating the kundalini energy and carnal desires. It is the ultimate fertility crystal – helping you align with your own natural rhythm including your conceptual window and natural energy cycles. It powerfully affects the female reproductive system, enhancing fertility and promoting ease in pregnancy and childbirth, alleviates menstrual problems and change-of-life, balances the hormonal system and eliminates fluid retention.

Moonstone helps men become more in-tune with the feminine aspects of their nature, and stimulates the right side of the brain, encouraging nonlinear thinking and emotional balance.

Moonstones are sometimes likened to raindrops – their colours can be anything from a soft grey to greeny/blue or silver. Asia mythology considers that the moon cannot be seen during the rain, just as it is difficult to see through tears. By bringing love & abundance into our lives and helping us to see the future, moonstones allow us to bring the hope of all good things into our lives.
According to Indian mythology, moonstone came into existence after a battle fought between Lord Vishnu and Bali, the demon god. In India the moonstone is considered a sacred gem and thought to be lucky if given by a groom to his bride plus it is supposed to arouse passion when exchanged between lovers.
The ancient Romans theorized that moonstones were formed from frozen moonlight. This crystal does shine with a cool lunar light but it comes from the mineral feldspar. The shimmer, called schiller or adularescence, is actually an intergrowth of two different types of feldspar.
