What comes to your mind when you think of the stone carnelian? What do you feel when you hold one in your palm?
Carnelian represents passion, confidence, motivation and vitality. It encourages, lending us the strength and fortitude for our life’s journey.
This fiery variety of Chalcedony is a holy grail stone that resonates with the lower three chakras. It aligns us with our gut, circulating the Qi (氣) to our most powerful instincts and sexual desires.
Carnelian’s journey doesn’t stop with the earthly wonders, for the longest time, carnelian amulets have been used to escort the dead, providing safe passage into whatever lies beyond the setting sun. Death is symbolic for the ultimate darkness, and darkness can also indicate what could not be seen and not be known. And carnelian sings the melody of night and day.
When we are faced with core-rattling fear, carnelian is a powerful stone which helps us to overcome the terror of being. It foretells that anything is possible.
We all have our own fears, whether it’s fear of commitment, failure, or missing out, carnelian can motivate us to put the most important plans into action.
Get curious. Get out and see the world. Step bravely into the unknown. We got this!
Life’s a wonderful adventure,
if we allow it to be.
