In addition, Angelite powerfully enhances communication and inner clarity. This stone excels at dream work and brings us more in touch with our psychic connections and abilities such as telepathy.

As the name suggests, Angelite’s high vibrations bring the user in closer contact with their angels and guides while also drawing in their protection. As a result, this stone effectively applies knowledge and experience gained in the spiritual realm to the physical plane.

PHYSICAL HEALING PROPERTIES OF ANGELITE

Angelite assists in the reduction of edema by encouraging the body to release excess fluid and disperse swelling. This crystal also helps ease symptoms of many throat conditions such as tonsillitis, swollen lymph nodes, strep throat, and other issues impacting the throat. It can even serve to increase thyroid balance which can in turn aid in weight loss and control.

Angelite encourages speaking up for oneself and then following through with the necessary action. It dispels raw anger and frustration, reduces compulsive behavior, and promotes self-responsibility.

Psychologically speaking, Angelite aids in mentally and emotionally releasing the past and accepting the present for what it is. It serves those who are incarcerated or feel stuck in their current circumstances. This quality also lightens mental and emotional burdens, making it a strong choice for those who suffer from depression and anxiety.

An excellent stone for those in healing professions such as nurses, doctors, therapists, reiki practitioners, and energy healers, Angelite wards against violence, intolerance, and abrasive or cruel behavior.
