Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm sort of starting turning over a new leaf, and recently became vegan and am expanding my spiritual horizons, is there any stone that you think might help with dedication to these things, or perhaps one to help feel more in tune with nature/my spiritual self?
Congratulations!
For what you’re asking I would recommend looking at your chakras and moving on from there.
For example, focusing on your Crown chakra (violet: located just above your head), would enhance spiritual ease. The crystals included, and perhaps the most effective for you, are Amethyst – for spiritual calming - and Sugilite – for spiritual confidence. Your Crown chakra also helps to balance integration, coherence and sense of belonging.
I would also recommend you to focus on your Root chakra (red: at the base of your spine, however in healing it is often balanced by placing a crystal between the knees/thighs). The Root chakra grounds us, and balances our connection to our mother Earth. It also helps with energy and motivation (which may be chanelled to enhance your dedication), as well as practicality and survival need. Stones that I feel would help you the most are Garnet – to stimulate your energy and thus dedication – Iron Quartz – in order to ground you – Jasper (for the same reason), and Spinel, to help you focus.
For a summary of the chakras and how they work:
Originating in ancient India, and adopted by many alternative healing systems (including crystal healing), is the concept of the subtle body, which shares many of the principles of the aura. Linked to, but transcending the physical body, the subtle body is a network of channels (nadis), through which flows energy (prana). Our physical, mental and spriritual wellbeing depends on our prana flowing smoothly to all parts of the subtle body. We can optimise the flow of prana by influencing the main receptors and distributors of life-energy in the subtle body, which are known as chakras (from the Sanskrit “wheel”). Balancing chakras is at the heart of crystal healing. We use crystals to “feed” each chakra with its main energetic colour.
For more information, simply search “chakras” on google.
I hope this helps you!
