Crystals for Grounding & Stability

First, let’s touch on the importance of Grounding

As humans, we are bioelectrical beings that have the ability of grounding ourselves to the electromagnetic charge of Earth through placing our bare feet on the ground.

Our immune system is stronger and works harder for us when it is supercharged with electrons which can be obtained in abundance by simply placing our bare feet on the earth and absorbing that energy through our feet. Doing this regularly can promote healing throughout our entire body and our aura/energy field.

Our bodies are made up of mostly water and minerals which makes us great energy conductors. When we’re in direct contact with the earth, or a piece of it through using our crystals, the electrons from the earth or stone are transmitted and absorbed into the body, creating balance in our chakras and energy fields and bringing our body back into balance.

I’m in Canada and the winters are cold, and it is really hard to get my bare feet on the earth this time of year, so you can help ground yourself with crystals if you can’t get your bare feet on the earth as much as you would like to due to living in a city with pavement everywhere or living through long winters. This list should help you keep yourself grounded no matter where you are and what you are doing.

When you’re grounded you’ll notice you’re not lost in your thoughts, or your feelings, but instead you’ll be here, in the moment and aware of your physical body and connection to the earth.

This is highly recommended if you’re an air sign (I’m an Aquarius Sun/Gemini Moon so I know from experience LOL) to make sure you are grounded to the earth and its really easy for us to drift off into space often.

When working with grounding crystals, all you need to do is take a few deep breaths, bring your awareness down to your root chakra or your feet (Have them planted on the ground/floor) and hold your crystal as you visualize or sense your energy moving down to the centre of the Earth. Once you have that energy flowing and moving really strong down to the core of the Earth, you are now grounded and can carry or wear your grounding stone as a reminder that you maintain a strong energetic connection to the Earth.

Here’s a few of my favourite grounding stones to use, wear, and carry with me:

Black Tourmaline 

Pictured Above is a piece that I included on a wand created with very grounding intentions. It has since sold. 

Black tourmaline is like an energetic bodyguard that will protect you from unwanted energies by keeping your own energy vibrating at the highest possible frequency. 

Black Tourmaline is awesome for protecting the aura from negative influences and helps us establish a strong connection to the Earth.

Hand over any unwanted energies, fears, insecurities, lower vibrational thoughts or anything else you intend to release into this stone and allow it to clear your energy field of anything stagnant. Allow the tourmaline to absorb those darker energies so that you no longer need to carry them around with you.

Jasper

There are MANY different kinds of Jasper out there and they all have their own unique properties but generally any kind that you have on hand will be a great grounding stone and help you ground and stabilize your energy. The Jasper pictured above is from my personal stash and i believe it to be either Rainforest Jasper or Leopard Skin Jasper. Use any kind of jasper to help you ground and feel more connected to the Earth 

Obsidian

Obsidian is a powerful grounding stone and helps connect you with the Earth. It filters your excess and negative energy down into the Earth to be cleansed and repurposed

It will aide in helping you release unbalances in your life by helping you filter out feelings of fear, resentment and anger toward others that will help you forgive and move on. It also helps you release those feelings of anger and resentment that others have projected upon you. 

Petrified Wood

Petrified woos is an ancient fossil of a tree. It is calming/soothing and nurturing and can help heal not only you but any energetic imbalances down the family line and even into past lives.

Pictured above is actually Petrified Palm Wood and is known for its ability to ground unstable emotions and truly helps to create financial stability and the ability to take action in life which is hard to do when you are not fully grounded and in tune with the Earth and physical reality. 

Smoky Quartz

 Smoky Quartz clears negative energies from the environment by grounding them back into the Earth. It serves as a general grounding stone, helping you integrate insights from higher vibrations by keeping your feet on the ground and helping you handle practical matters.

Smoky Quartz is one of my all-time favourites because it gently neutralizes negative energy and is a great detoxifier on all levels. This crystal will help promote positive thoughts and action. 

It will help relieve stress and tension, anxiety and ease panic attacks. 

Holding a smoky pointing towards the ground while focusing on releasing all stress and worries into the stone will help it send those unwanted thoughts and energies to the Earth to be transmuted into something more useful.

Smoky quartz will enhance your survival instincts and really help propel you towards your personal and business goals. It is a great stone to use while releasing old thought patterns that will inevitably help you bring things into manifestation without resistance.
