Ussingite

Ussingite helps to energetically integrate one’s physical body with one’s subtle bodies, giving rise to an understanding of one’s true nature and one’s whole being. It helps to energetically purify all of one’s energy fields, raising one’s vibrations to align with one’s soul.

The energy of Ussingite supports one emotionally so that one can be forgiving to others and more importantly with oneself. Helping with self understanding and self love and thus enabling one to be accepting of the opinions of others even when they differ from one’ own. It allows one to be accepting.
