Relaxation is one of the benefits of Larimar.  It soothes the emotional body, releasing undesirable attachments and relieving stress.  Wearing the stone, one feels surrounded in an oasis of calm, always aware of the fundamental “all-rightness” of the world, regardless of transient circumstances.  Larimar can cool hot tempers and guide excess passion into peace.  It can be used to diminish the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and is a useful antidote when one’s kundalini energies have become uncomfortably active.
