Topic of the Week Award Stones for Grounding

Okay dokays.

So what is this "grounding" we hear some people mention? It is basically away of slowing down and connecting, truly connecting to ourselves, our environment and the moment at hand. When you are Grounded you are connected to the moment. The floor. The earth. This gives you a moment to Center. Centering is taking that moment to breathe and focus on YOU.
When you are Grounded you have a stable connection point that you are attached to, which is important whether you are taking a momentary breather, are meditating or are doing some sort of healing or spiritual work.

Being Centered is important because it means you are Focused. Being Focused is very important to any type of work you plan on doing ( whether it is a detailed list for your day or sitting down to connect with Divine energies).

For instance you wouldna go to a healer if s/he were focused not only on your aches and pains....but on their electric bill and winning lotto numbers too would you? If they are scattered like that then how helpful can they really be for you?

The question applies to you also. If your energies are scattered all over the place then how productive can you really be in your day?

And that is why Grounding and Centering is important.

So how to Ground?

One of the easiest ways to ground is to have a couple of stones that are meant to help you connect and stay put with Earth energies ( the best energies for Grounding....get it...Ground...Earth...? ha ha).
I'll make a seperate post for other grounding techniques so this does na become a novella of sorts.
So let's list some that are good for basic grounding ( and centering as the two usually walk hand in hand)

GRRREEEAT FOR GRRRROOUNDING

 

Black Tourmaline

I cannot stand this stone.....my hubby could cuddle it all day long though......

Repels and protects against negative energy
  • Maintains ones spirits even when there is negativity around
  • Enhances practicality in creativity
  • Excellent for grounding ( connects to the core of the Earth)
 

Oooh Smokey Quartz!

This can be anywhere from a slightly smokeyish looking quartz to really dark. There is a version that is brown and it is commonly reffered to as "Rootbeer Quartz".

Transform negative energies and emotions and turns them into positive ones
  • Dissolves negative energy fields
  • Clears mental channels
  • Balances yin-yang ( male-female) energies
  • Aligns and balances energies both physical and etherical ( spirit wise ) to help for attuning for spiritual developement
  • Great for grounding as it helps one become aware of the moment one is in
I should tell you that Smokey Quartz is a slow mellow stone and is not they type of energy you will notice right away ( unless you are sensitive to quartz energies).

 

Obsidian!

This one is shiny and sometimes almost transluscent ( see thru) in places. It's actually a type of volcanic rock ( and can be sharp enough to cut you!).

Great for grounding as it connects the base of your spine directly to the Earth
  • Used for protection
  • Stabilizes external and internal energies
  • Shields against negativity
  • Provides healer and healee insight to what is causing dis-ease
GROUNDING AND CENTERING ROLLED INTO ONE!

 

Black Onyx.

My favorite. However I guess I am so high energy I literally suck the life outta these poor stones in no less than 24 hours......it's sad.....they are my grounding/centering crack....

Great for initiating centering ( read focussing and becoming totally aware)
  • Used to banish grief
  • Used to enhance self control
  • Used to enhance wise decision making
  • Used to absorb from the Universe the energy that is needed for whatever is being done at the moment
  • Helps one with their connection with their intuition/guides/ higher selves.
 

Turquoise

And here I bet you thought all grounding stones had to be black or something right?
  • Strengthens and aligns chakras
  • Primarily stimulates throat,heart and naval chakras bringing communication to emotional issues,creativity and intuition
  • Used for spiritual attunement
  • Cleanses energy centers and physical body
  • Provides protection
  • Assists in grounding ( is great to use during meditations to help keep in touch with the conscious mind)
  • Provides strength and protection during vision quests
  • Helps one maintain grounding when doing spiritual work
 

Hematite.

This one is easy because it is so darn shiny! It's good to use as a Grounding and a Focusing stone
  • Helps to sort out what is on your mind
  • Provides a calming atmosphere
  • Balances yin-yang ( male-female) energies providing stable equilibrium
  • Dissolves negativity turning it into positive energy
  • Focuses and provides balance between body, mind, emotions and spirit
  • Stimulates desire to attain peace, self control, inner happiness
  • Can help provide a soft meditative state for smooth grounding to bring tranquility and emotional clarity
I hope this helped some.
