carnelian

Introduction
Carnelian is a translucent to opaque stone of yellow, orange, red, black and brown chalcedony and quartz. It can be found in South Africa, Brazil, USA, Indonesia and etc. Carnelian is also closely connected to the Egyptian Sun God, Ra and the Blood of Isis. It was used by the Ancient Egyptians for protection.

Properties
You will find so much strength within yourself when you work with the Carnelian. It turns on so much energy circulating in your blood around your body, you could almost feel it travelling through your veins. You feel almost heavier than usual because there is this sense of need to sit down or to be hugged. If you are alone, trying wrapping yourself in a blanket when you work with the Carnelian. You will feel safe and even more so, in the arms or hands of another person whom you trust to do this healing exercise with. This openness will release the stresses in your body and help you to talk freely about your past to someone. If you had experienced any form of abuse, be it physically, mentally or emotionally... the Carnelian will ask of you to confront them instead of pushing it back down with unhealthy behaviors that will either cause you to forget or to block those feelings out of your system. You may struggle with your thoughts and emotions in this journey, as you find yourself going back and forth of looking for something or someone to blame for the misfortune that had happened to you. In this moment, take deep breaths into your belly and let it out slowly to recentre yourself. Calm yourself down and remove your need to find someone to hold accountable for that incident. Remember to eat your meal of the day before working with the carnelian but should you feel hungry during this exercise, I want you to hold back and drink water instead. Keep doing this until you found yourself getting over the idea of filling up your tummy with food to replace unhappiness or uncomfortable topics. 

Wealth
This is a great stone for people working in fast moving industries like Creative, Trends, Beauty, Technology and Finance. Fire elemental crystals or stones will invigorate your motivation to push through unpredictable hardships.

Activated Chakras
This very grounding stone works mainly on your lower chakras namely Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Charka and Heart Chakra. All your healing brings you back down to your Root Chakra.

Chakra Health
If your Crystals/Stones Pendulum does a clockwise spin, you can rest assured that you are in the right vibrations through your healing state on it's properties. An anti-clockwise spin indicates the lack of awareness, acceptance or understanding on the matter. This means you should meditate more to work on balancing your chakras and finding your answers.

Crystal Care
Highly recommended to cleanse and charge it with moon water first before activating the charge with a Root Chakra Tibetan Singing Bowl. If using a Clear Quartz Singing Bowl, you can use it to charge your crystal without using moon water. Cleansing the crystal still requires water only.
