Garnet

Chakra: Root and Sacral

Garnets vibration is said to be stabilizing by bringing order to any form of chaos. For example, emotional disruptions or physical ailments can be brought to state of calm. External stress factors such as, work or difficulties within relationships and family situations tempered. Garnet is also used to overcome crisis and trauma. It is a stone of regeneration and energizses the entire system to revitalize it through the Root Chakra, the foundation upon which all the other chakras sit. When used with the Root Chakra it can ground one’s dreams in reality, bringing abundance, prosperity, and realization of those dreams, through clearing the blocked Root chakra and allowing a free flow of energy to the chakras above.

As it is a stone of positive thoughts it is often used to dispel and relieve depression. Its vibration eases the sense of helplessness imparting courage by building one’s self-confidence, inspiration, and creativity. Confidence in your-self gives way to making positive life decisions without the need for external approval. This in turn diminishes abandonment issues by instilling self-belief and a sense of maturity and self-reliance. It is this element that can alleviate patterns of self-sabotage and destructive behaviour.
