CARNELIAN The Joy & Abundance Crystal
Carnelian is kKnown for its ability to increase vitality, motivation, and creativity. It also helps to align you with the energetics of joy,happiness, and celebration. When you are searching for a crystal to help you tap into your passion and inner creativity, Carnelian has great healing properties. This crystal is mined in United States, Indonesia, Brazil, India, Madagascar, Scotland, Russia, and Germany. It is well-known to be able to help you clear blockages and align you with your divine purpose as well as invigorate your spirit, so it has the energy to move forward and accept challenges and change. It is associated with the lower three chakras (root, solar plexus, sacral). These are the chakras that keep you grounded and connected to the world. And Carnelian helps to unblock these chakras and let the feelings of joy, sensuality, grace, and flexibility flow freely. Another interesting fact about Carnelian is that the Ancient Egyptians associated this crystal with fire and solar energies, and it was referred to as “the setting sun” stone. They believed wearing it added a sense of vitality to the spirit and body. They also believed Carnelian would give the dead a safe passage and protection into the afterlife. For this reason, many powerful Egyptians were buried with amulets or masks made of Carnelian, . King Tut being a familiar one. His funeral mask was inlaid with colored glass, crystals, and gemstones, including lapis lazuli (the eye surrounds and eyebrows), quartz (the eyes), obsidian (the pupils), and around the rest of mask with carnelian, amazonite, turquoise, and faience (finely glazed ceramic beads). As with many of the crystals, you can wear Carnelian in a piece of jewelry or carry it in your pocket or bra. You can place it on your desk in your home or work office and it can help draw in abundance and empowerment for self-confidence in all aspects of your life and relationships. And you can meditate with it with a mantra for whatever your needs are. Boosting self-confidence, creativity, empowerment, abundance, igniting your inner passion. Place Carnelian in any way that you can see it each day as a reminder to connect with your creative and self-confident nature. Cleanse this crystal with a little soapy water and rinse and dry well. Generally, crystals need to be cleansed once per month, however, if you feel like you are being influenced by negative energy, you can cleanse it more frequently. If you are using crystals for healing, then they should be cleansed after each session of use. Carnelian should be an essential part of your crystal collection. As Courtney Taylor once said, “Carnelian is an energy drink of the crystal world.”
