Carnelian Uses

 

Mental Healing

--------------

Among the New Age community, believers revere Carnelian's mental

grounding power and believe this is the source of its greatest mental

effects. They say it teaches one to focus on the present for the

moments in life when all one's mental powers are necessary for

success at a single, important task and is a source of confidence,

eloquence and inspiration. For instances when you need a boost to

creativity for problem-solving, Carnelian can assist in getting the

mind out of mental ruts and back on track for success. In the long-

term, it bolsters ambition and drive and reminds the wearer of the

future's goals, hence becoming a powerful tool in major decision-

making. Overall, many hold Carnelian dear as a stone with the ability

to protect the individual, bolster confidence and generally enhance

and expand the experiences of life.

 

Carnelian and the Chakras

-------------------------

Chakra healers regard Carnelian for its connection to the 2nd Chakra

or the Spleen Chakra. This area is the body's center for creative and

sexual, pure emotional energies, but healers also associate it with

the five physical senses. The six petaled Lotus, deep orange colors

and Aries are all connected to this region. When these energies are

unblocked by Carnelian and the energy flows freely, one feels a

deeper appreciation of his or her body, a greater connection with

friends and lovers and a reduction of guilty feelings. These effects

result in a more spontaneous, energetic and giving individual.

 

Physical Healing

----------------

Because of its connection to the 2nd Chakra, New Age healers believe

Carnelian to be instrumental in maintaining health in the lower

abdomen. They use it to treat impotence, menstrual cramps,

infertility associated with this region. However, they have also

turned to its power for healing neuralgia, rheumatism, asthma, skin

and blood conditions and insomnia. It is considered so effective in

healing dermatological ailments such as acne and psoriasis, that some

even recommend Carnelian for the treatment of skin disorders of pets.
