January Birthstones: Meaning, Energy & How to Work With Them

January

January is a deep winter. Lets release the idea that this is a time must be about productivity, new beginnings or goal setting. We are embracing January as a time for rest, inward focus and a bit of stillness.

January’s energy follows nature’s design. While nature is dormant it shows us reflection. Energy is less active and more rest. This is an ideal time for reflection, emotional processing, grounding, gentle clarity, and not action.

The birthstones of January support reflection, grounding, emotional warmth, and clarity.
