The Benefits of Grounding Crystals

Being grounded is all about being centered, balanced and connected with the Earth’s energy. It helps us to remain calm, cool and collected, regardless of what’s going on in the world around us. When we are grounded, we are more authentic, make better decisions, and we own our own power. When we feel ourselves becoming unsettled by life, we put on our grounding crystals and take a moment to recollect ourselves. Being grounded also balances the root chakra.

Grounding Crystals

Our favorite are Hematite, Smoky Quartz and Jasper. These healing crystals are all powerful for grounding your energy, but they have different ways of doing so—they will feel different on your body.

Hematite Stone: Hematite stone is the ultimate grounding gemstone for the body. It holds a very powerful grounding energy that literally feels like you are being sucked down into the Earth. When it touches your skin, you feel a magnetic energy that leaves you feeling more balanced, calm and centered. Hematite stones also eliminate any negative energy within your body or energy field, drawing it from you into itself.

Smoky Quartz Stone: Some people find that the grounding energy of Hematite stones is too overwhelming for their body—the grounding crystals may feel heavy when placed on your body. If this is the case for you, we would suggest choosing a different grounding crystal, such as Smoky Quartz. Smoky Quartz is grounding and stabilizing crystal that brings powerful energies for centering the body. It is one of the most powerful root chakra stones, focusing on cleansing and balancing this chakra so that you feel more grounded and rooted in the Earth. It is very grounding in an uplifting way, having a much more subtle energy than Hematite. Smoky Quartz works to neutralize any negative vibrations, replacing them with light—therefore not feeling as heavy on your body as Hematite may.

Shungite Stone: Shungite stone is the most powerful stone for balancing root chakra issues, which gives you a feeling of being ungrounded.It’s vital to practice root chakra balancing to have a rooted and grounded first chakra to build upon. The effectiveness of the other chakras is based upon the first. Shungite demands that you deal with your emotions, toxic mental thoughts and anything that no longer serves you. It puts all the stuff in your face to deal with, but in return, it gives you the grace and strength to cut the energetic cords that hold you back from your personal truth and magnificence.

Jasper Stone: Since ancient times, Jasper stones have been valued for their healing and grounding energies. These healing crystals carry a very strong Earth energy, helping to deepen your personal connection with the Earth when you wear or meditate with these grounding crystals. There are many, many different types of Jasper stones, yet all carry this powerful Earth energy. Choose the ones that you are most attracted too, as those will be the most beneficial for you. We personally like the grounding energy of Red Jasper stones, as it has a reenergizing and reinvigorating effect on your body.

 

Grounding Jewelry

Energy Muse’s grounding jewelry, like our Grounding bracelet and anklet are made with Hematite. Try wearing the Grounding Anklet every day to keep grounded and balanced. Because it is worn on your ankle, which is close to the Earth, you can really feel the grounding energy all day long! Our Earth Element Bracelet also has a profound grounding effect and develops your connection to Mother Earth. We also love wearing an Elite Shungite Necklace, which brings balance to your physical and energetic body. Creating a noticeable shift in your energy field, wearing shungite detoxifies, purifies and heals the physical and energy systems throughout your body. Although it detoxes you physically and emotionally, it provides a stable, strong energy.

Grounding Exercises

Along with your grounding crystals, whenever you are feeling overwhelmed, try this simple grounding exercise that you can do in less than 10 minutes. You can also try a nature walk meditation, which is one of our favorite grounding methods.

  1. Sit (or stand) in a quiet place–you can do this outside, in nature if you would like.
  2. Visualize roots streaming from the bottoms of your feet, continuing to grow downwards, connecting the soles of your feet deep into the core of the Earth.
  3. Breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose.
  4. Visualize all the negativity, anxiety and stress flowing through the roots and dissolving into Mother Earth.
  5. Visualize green healing light coming back up the roots through the soles of your feet, running up your legs to your heart and filling you with healing, vibrating energy.

How to Choose the Right Grounding Crystal

You may be thinking to yourself, how do I choose from these grounding crystals? Which one is the right one for me? When choosing which crystal to use, trust your intuition. We cannot stress this enough! Everyone will vibe with different crystals. They will feel different to everyone. If you are shopping for grounding crystals in person, pick up each one and see how it feels in your hand. Choose the one that feels good when you hold it—you will know. If you are shopping for grounding crystals online, choose the one that you are visually attracted to the most. Many times one will stand out to you immediately; this is the one for you!
