CARNELIAN

Carnelian is a stabilising stone with very high energy levels and it is excellent for restoring your vitality and motivation. Also due to its stabilising effect it is the perfect stone for anchoring you in the present NOW moment.

The key phrase for carnelian is one of my very favourite statements attached to a crystal – it is: Since there is nothing but love, you have no choice but to love and love will return to you exponentially.

And if that doesn’t get you reaching for your carnelian or running to a shop to buy some – nothing will! And don’t forget with this kind of energy held in the crystal you can use it on your heart as well as the base and sacral, even though it is not specifically listed as a heart chakra stone. No one told carnelian it couldn’t work on that energy centre because it wasn’t green or pink. It just goes right ahead and works anyway – crystals are like that! We categorise them and they ignore it!!

THINGS TO DO WITH CARNELIAN

When used in meditation, Carnelian will help you understand how to bring a concept into being, and how to manifest it into action. This is because it stimulates creativity when placed on the sacral chakra. It also grounds and anchors you into reality, which really helps the manifestation process. It also encourages you to stop waiting for dreams to appear, and help to make them appear.
I was going to do a whole list of properties for the stone, but you can get that kind of information anywhere, so I am going straight to how carnelian can help you!

ONE
Hold a carnelian in each hand and place a smokey quartz on the base chakra. The smokey quartz is a strong grounding stone, and when used with carnelian, so it will create a strong flow of downward energy, which will take any excess energy out of your system. It will also allow energy to flow into your earthstar chakra.

TWO
Hold a carnelian in each hand and focus on your sacral chakra. Then visualise a small flame in the chakra and let the energy of the fire element held within the stone to warm this area of your body. Then gradually allow the flame to grow until it fills the chakra and set the intention you want the energy of the flame to clear the chakra.
After you have done the meditation several times, you can make the flame grow even larger until it reaches up into the solar plexus. Set the intention that you want the energy of the flame to ignite the fire energy held in this chakra and clear it of anything which no longer serves your highest and greatest good.

THREE
Letting Go of Pain and Trauma Layout
You will need six small carnelian tumblestones.
Lie on the floor and place the stones as follows.
One at the crown chakra, one of your throat chakra, one either side of your body at the solar plexus, one at calf-level between your legs, one just below your feet .
Lie with the stones for as long as you feel you need to.

The first time you use this layout you may feel uncomfortable as the stones bring old pain and trauma to the surface to be released. Stay with the release process if you can. If you can’t, stop and try again later. Releasing the negativity a little at a time may be easier for you than trying to do it all at once. You will know what to do when you are doing it!

USING CARNELIAN WITH OTHER STONES
To amplify the energy held in a carnelian and use it to enhance your creativity, use the stone with Golden Labradorite, Amber, Yellow Apatite, or Sardonyx.

To stimulate your willpower, use carnelian at ther solar plexus with Pyrite, Sardonyx, Malachite, Pietersite or Preseli Bluestone.

Combined with either Green Aventurine or with Green Calcite,
For physical healing of the organs in the lower  half of the body, including the liver and pancreas, gall bladder and kidneys – use the stone with green aventurine or green calcite.

Enjoy working with such a lovely stone!

Bright Blessings, Gail!
