Key Words: Divine Love and Emotional healing
Element: Water
Pink Kunzite is one of my favourite stones. While my heart was healing in a big way, I used to sleep with it, constantly… for months at a time. I will be talking about this stone, though there are other colours, which will bring different gifts in to your life.
It is a powerful stone and it brings deep emotional healing – on all levels. – and it teaches kindness and compassion, which is what the world needs at the moment – everywhere really. It also soothes grief, loss and feelings of separation. But, most important of all, it teaches you to love yourself …. and we all need reminding to do that, from time to time! It is such a good stone to use at the heart chakra because it helps your heart to remain open, no matter what is happening, or what is coming up for clearing, and because Pink Kunzite has a large amount of Lithium, it is a fantastic stone for stress relief.
Lithium is very, very calming and using it means you remain calm. It has the ability to lift and stabilise your mood, as will any stone containing the mineral – Lithium Quartz and Lepidolite are another two which are also amazing. Lithium can also be used for pain relief as well, and any stone containing it should be placed directly on the skin where the pain is centred. It is particularly helpful if you have arthritis – though, as always, it should not be used as a substitute for a trip to the doctor if you need to go!
The main thing Kunzite does is to enable you to remain open to an abundance of unconditional love, so it is the very best stone to use if you want more love in your life – starting, of course, with loving yourself. It is no good going straight to loving others if you have no idea how to love yourself. It will never work. But Kunzite works in all sorts of ways to bring love into your life and, when you work with it, especially over an extended period, it infuses the whole of your Four Body system with the energy of Divine Unconditional Love.
Kunzite also unites the heart and the mind, allowing both these parts of you to communicate. This is what brings about such deep emotional healing and the heart and the mind working together enables you to express all your authentic thoughts and emotions.
The reason that kunzite manifests love in your life … for everything … is because it is has a very high vibration. So it, in effect, raises your vibrational rate to a frequency bandwidth which allows you to connect with Divine Unconditional Love. It brings you into resonance with the vibration of love! And, as love downloads, quite literally into your life, your thoughts and the way you communicated starts to become more and more loving.
Another benefit of working with the stone is that as it raises your vibrational rate to match its rate, it takes you out of all the low vibrational energy around you – anger, fear, frustration, hate, jealousy – so it no longer affects so easily. You literally rise above it and, as long as you allow the stone to keep your vibrational rate high by keeping in on you or near you, you will feel a lot more comfortable around people who are stuck in lower vibrational energy.
Other things kunzite can do for you:
- helps you to find any heart-based blockage, and to understand what you need to do to clear it
- removes obstacles from your path
- helps the physical body to recover from the effects of emotional stress.
- helps you live in the NOW by clearing blockages which anchor you in the past.
- helps recover memories you have blocked so you can clear them from your system
- helps clear heart-based problems carried forward from past lives
- reduces stress related anxiety and helps to alleviate panic attacks.
- helps you compromise so you can balance personal needs and the needs of others.
- very effective at clearing childhood stress and trauma
- helps you develop tolerance and forgiveness.
- helps you reconnect with others, especially if you are prone to guarding and protecting yourself emotionally
- promotes feelings of peace and inner strength.
- promotes self-love and self-worth.
- encourages a positive attitude
Using Kunzite
Kunzite should be worn in direct contact with the skin to get the most benefit from it, especially if used for reducing muscle tension and relieving pain. Overnight is often best and it should be cleaned under warm (NOT HOT) running water each time it is used. It can be re-charged overnight in a bowl of hematite tumble stones. Sometimes just gazing at kunzite or holding it for a while will be enough to release stress at the end of an unpleasant day. It will release tense muscles, calm your nerves and release lower vibrational states like anger or fear from your system.
Kunzite clears the aura and strengthens your energy field. It also brings balance and harmony between the physical body and the subtle anatomy. All you have to do to gain these benefits it keep it with you and it starts working as soon as it enters your Four Body System. It’s a marvel!
Kunzite also clears negative energy from a room or environment, filling it with its own uniquely loving energy. All you have to do is leave a piece where you need to clear negativity, but please remember to cleanse the stone regularly if you use it for this purpose. It can also be placed in an area of disturbed Earth energy to block geopathic stress.
Chakra and Kunzite
If you hold the crystal with the striations running up and down vertically, it will align the chakras, connecting them sequentially and balancing them.
- Kunzite activates the Heart Chakra and encourages the energy in your heart to travel up your central channel with the Kunzite energy to align the chakra with the Throat and Brow Chakras. This alignment then helps you to communicate more easily and effectively in a loving way. The energy then moves up to the Crown Chakra, enabling you to become aware of the interconnectedness of all things… on all levels.
- The energy of Kunzite when used at the Throat and Brow Chakras together (i.e. a stone on each chakra or used first on one chakra and then the other if you don’t have two pieces) helps, especially when used with a specific intention, to express your thoughts and emotions more freely and easily.
- If used on the Heart and the Brow Chakras, it connects your heart and your mind which is so useful in so many ways. I’d be here all day. Just use it with this intention and see what happens!
Meditating with Kunzite
The energy of Kunzite will help you meditate because it calms and soothes you and helps you enter a deeply medative state. It will then open your heart to profound experiences of Divine Unconditional Love.
Other benefits of meditating with this stone include:
- a deeper connection to your intuition
- easier access to guidance from helpers and guides
- easier connection to your Higher Self and other higher aspects of yourself.
- helps you understand everything your helpers and guides share with you and remember it when the meditation has finished.
- Stimulates creativity
- clears any energy which might disrupt your meditation which makes it really helpful for people who find it hard to meditate
If you make a gem elixir from Kunzite, it has a profound calming effect on your heart. An elixir is made by keeping a clean piece of kunzite in a glass container for 12 to 24 hours. The elixir can also be used topically to help soothe skin rashes and irritations caused by allergic reactions to chemicals.
The energy of Kunzite combines well with quite a few stones. Always see which ones you are guided to use it with to get the best result for you – rose quartz, malachite, morganite, emerald, iolite, lapis lazuli, azeztulite and hematite.
Also, to bring balance in a profound way to the heart, use pink kunzite together with hiddenite, which is green kunzite. This variation of kunzite encourages growth and is known as a Stone of Evolution. It helps you grow spiritually and emotionally. It encourages you to begin again and focus on the present, releasing any pain or anxiety from your past. These two stones work incredibly well together and allow you to expand your heart centre in so many beneficial ways. Just get some and go for it!
Well, I seem to have written pages, but it’s all useful information if you want to start working with this miraculous stone. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
