Physical
Larimar is a very cooling and soothing stone and is good for sunburn, inflammation
and fevers. It helps to ease stress and is beneficial to the shoulders, the
thyroid gland, the chest, neck and head area and also the nasal passages. It
is said to stimulate brain activity. It is one of the very few stones that can
help with the common cold. Also good for hair and for the feet.
Mental/Emotional
Larimar soothes fear and hurt and is extremely useful in treating depression
and apathy. It helps people who are over-critical of themselves and of others
to become more tolerant. It encourages truth (including helping you to admit
guilt when you are guilty) self-expression, patience, creativity and artistic
endeavours. Larimar promotes an inner peace and calm and allows us to stay
calm when changes are taking place all around us. Larimar also promotes simplicity,
makes constructive thinking easier and allows us to simply "let things
happen" instead of us trying to control and manipulate what is happening.
It helps us to use power and knowledge wisely.
Spiritual
A superb stone for Earth Healing. Larimar can also help us to "take control"
of our own lives. Larimar shows us that suffering need not be present in our
spiritual lives and that also our own spirit can be without bounds or limitations.
