Rocks that Rock Us by Jessica Allen

‘Tis the season for Gratitude, and we are Thankful for Garnet!

A stone found worldwide, Garnet is a powerful crystal to awaken devotion and attract loving feelings and loving relationships. Healing and nourishing to the heart, meditating with garnet gives us courage and ignites feelings of love and passion. What are you devoted to and what does your heart feel thankful for? Garnet can help stimulate awareness of the deep feelings of love and gratitude that nurture the spirit and nourish relationships.

Garnet also acts in attunement with blood, moving through the body and immediately lending strength to the entire system, sweeping away any residual negative energy while cleansing and invigorating the body, mind, and spirit. Meditate with a piece of garnet to cleanse the chakras and remove blockages in the energy system.

Try taking a piece of garnet (or a few pieces…get creative and work with what you’ve got, even one small garnet will do!) and hold it in your hands. Relax and feel the stone. Look at it, play with it; even just think about it. If you aren’t very familiar with crystals, but are interested in working with them, this stone has an effect that lets itself be known and felt. As you meditate with the stone you may recognize its energizing effects first. Hold the stone and allow yourself to feel soothed and vitalized. Let your thoughts and feelings come and go, and do this for as long as you like.

Remember to thank your crystal when you’ve finished!
