Grounding part 2 - Crystals

Crystals are also good tools to use in grounding but if you are very ungrounded you may need to use a number of DIFFERENT tools such as visualisations, crystals and essences to get the balance right.

I recommend the following crystals but in general terms, crystals that are black or red in colour will help to ground you. You need to choose the crystal that most fits your personal needs or ones that you are attracted to.

Haematite
This is a very strong grounding crystal that also energises the physical body. It brings you back to awareness and therefore stabilises the subtle bodies. I think this is a fantastic crystal when individuals are going though really painful times, when they are ‘spacey’ and cannot find connection to the earth plane.



Obsidian
(either black or snow flake obsidian)
These are effective grounding stones, which draw hidden imbalances to surface.




Red Jasper
Solidifies and grounds. Good for when you are doing psychic work as it gives the subtle bodies an anchor. This crystal helps to balance the chakras and is a good one to use on the base chakra when performing a chakra healing/balancing layout.



Rhodonite
I think this is a beautiful crystal if you need balancing from the heart chakra. It seams to balance both the heart and base chakra at the same time. I don’t think this crystal is very good if the individual is very ungrounded but certainly helps. I love this crystal if self-nurturing needs to take place.
Rhodonite is also helpful when dealing with Self worth issues



Tourmaline
Wow, this has to be my favourite of all crystals. It is used when energies are scattered and confused. Tourmaline is an ideal crystal to use when you are going through traumatic times and during astrological transits. It is great to use when the energy system feels wobbly or when you are just feeling vulnerable. Black Tourmaline is grounding from the base chakra and is also great for any leg and foot complaints, which is usually a sign that the lower energies of the body are poor.


People FREQUENTLY ask me how they should use their crystals when trying to ground with them. I recommend that you either wear them around your neck or place them in your pockets.

If you buy a tumble stone rather than a piece of jewellery then you can also buy small spiral ‘baskets’ that you can insert your crystal into, and then hang this around your neck.
The other way is to put your crystal in your pockets. As long as the crystal remains in the energy field then they will work to ground you. I suggest that if you want to put them in your pockets then buy two crystals so that both sides of your body remain balanced. I have known people to sew small pockets into their knickers to house their crystals! You don’t have to go that far as long as you remember to keep the balance on both sides of your body. Wearing the crystal around your neck means that you only need one crystal and that it will balance the body from the centre line.

Please don’t forget to cleanse your crystals too.
