Physical and emotional
For anyone in a bind when it comes to sexual energy, Carnelian is known as “the stone of fertility” and will fire up all things fertility related, including libido. Being a fire stone, Carnelian infuses the body with life and energy. It is all about stimulating the muscles, helping oxygen to flow freely to every inch of tissue, keeping you well oxygenated and cleansed. Carnelian also brings a detoxifying flush to those who struggle with alcohol, drugs, and other stimulants that don’t serve your overall health and wellbeing. Emotionally, Carnelian brings out the inner child in you, and will encourage you to write, sing and dance more, as we all should! This is why it is sometimes referred to as “the Artist’s stone”.
Metaphysical
Carnelian is connected to the three lower chakras. The Root Chakra is where our safety sits and keeps us grounded no matter where we are or what we are facing. When the Root chakra is activated, you will feel balanced and encouraged to take emotional risks because you are secure at the core. Passion, intimacy and inner fire is all determined by the balance of the Sacral Chakra. If yours is blocked you may feel that you struggle to connect and that joy almost seems impossible to find, and Carnelian can help unblock this. The final chakra connected to Carnelian is the Solar Plexus Chakra, the center of our self-esteem, confidence, and where our warrior spirit sits patiently, waiting to be unleashed!
