Travel by Maryann Sanfilipp! Although April means springtime to many, it also means tax time to most of us. How can we add more abundance to our lives? One answer might be Pyrite! Pyrite is a mineral with a metallic luster. Its color is similar to gold and is often known as “Fools Gold” because of this resemblance. Even so, it is purported to attract wealth, abundance, and good luck. Pyrite takes its name for the Greek word for fire. It is a stone of protection in every way possible be it physical or emotional. It is even said to be good for blocking EMFs (electromagnetic fields). This stone is all about building up your strength and stamina. It can be useful in fighting viral infections. On an emotional level, it can boost confidence and overcome fears and anxieties. It is said to help with depression by helping to overcome depressive thoughts or anxiety---something that may be needed during tax season. In addition to clearing negative energy, Pyrite can promote luck and wealth. It can attract luxuries and opportunities for improving your financial situation. You should place Pyrite in the left most corner of your home which is the prosperity space on the Feng Shui map. This is an excellent stone to add to your collection for self-healing purposes. It can help you to remain positive no matter how stressful your situation may be.
