Gagate

Gagate strengthens the mourners, gives comfort and new courage.

This gem helps in coping with grief. It protects in times when you feel particularly vulnerable or helpless. Circulating thoughts that draw you ever deeper into depression are reduced, which makes confrontation with grief possible. The view inside is guided by gentleness, you learn to look at yourself understandingly and lovingly. Not with judgment, but compassion.

Gagate lets you take good care of yourself and be forgiving, dispels self-pity and helps you to take chances for a positive change. It makes it easier to start again after a difficult time and to open up to the world after you have withdrawn for a while.
