Unakite is a combination of pink Feldspar and green Epidote. The pink in unakite speaks to the heart chakra to awaken the love within. The green lends its healing qualities to any hurts which have been sustained. The pink is more grounding than Rose Quartz. Unakite has a leveling effect and helps to balance the emotional aspects of the body. It balances the emotional body, bringing it into alignment with higher spiritual forces. This stone gently helps to promote inner, mindful growth. We often think of the emotions as originating and residing in the heart, but another place where they live, often imprisoned, is in the solar plexus. As young children, discouraged away from the full expression of our emotions, we learn that shallow breathing helps us not to feel as much. The repression of feeling can become automatic, and life, while perhaps less painful, also has less joy. Unakite can be very helpful in the steady release of feelings long held in. When one is supported by deepened self-esteem and self-awareness, it is easier to allow old feelings to arise so that they may be released. Unakite lends another element to self-awareness. In working with this stone people have noticed that they were able to go deeper than the physical symptoms of an illness and understanding the mental and emotional sources for it. It is also believed to help release conditions, which have been inhibiting personal growth. This stone is also very useful for pregnancy as it promotes the health of mother and baby.
