When emotions wash over you, Green Fluorite wants you to ask, Is this mine? When you feel ill or in pain, Green Fluorite gives the same directive. Get still and ask yourself, Is this mine? All of us take on energy from the world around us; that’s a price of being a part of this glorious web of life. Our invisible tendrils are always reaching out, tasting and sampling. The boundaries of self can get amorphous and blurry as we take in nutrients, emotions, toxins, pathogens, sunlight (all sorts of things!) from beyond ourselves. Green Fluorite reminds you to sort through the stuff that’s incoming, see what serves your highest good, and let the rest go.
Ritual 
When you can’t find a cause for a pain or emotion, Green Fluorite asks you to do the simplest of rituals. When you feel something that seems out of the context of your current life — whether it’s physical or an emotional feeling — pause, get still, and ask yourself, “Is this mine?” If it isn’t yours, imagine gently untangling it from your being and sending it on its way.
People who are empathic (that’s most of us to one degree or another) often inadvertently latch onto other people’s pain or emotions. Once we’ve felt it or embodied it, we begin to think it’s ours. Notice if you feel like it’s your duty to grab other people’s pains!
Reflection
There’s something in human nature that hoards. Perhaps we’re storing up for a bad winter or holding onto an emotion just in case we never feel it again.
What do you hoard or hold onto? Does it serve you? Does it make you happier or safer? More rooted or more content? What would it be like to let it go? How would you feel without this thing? Green Fluorite reminds you to ask,
Is this really mine?
I realized I was tired of wanting things . . . I’d rather just stand in the river — about waist deep — and let them flow around me. I like to feel the current. It’s powerful. But I don’t try to stop it anymore; I don’t try to grab hold of things as they flow by.
