One of my favorite uses for stones and gems is for the purpose of feeling grounded, rooted in a solid foundation of comfort and decisiveness. Without getting too metaphysical, to be grounded means to allow the energy inside of your body flow alongside the energy and the environment around you (in a complete circle or circuit. This will allow for optimal health and wellness because a good sense of grounding means you feel good at where you are at that moment in time. Many people use meditation or another type of calming hobby/exercise to practice grounding. Taking your shoes off and walking barefoot in grass or sand or simply sitting down on Mother Earth are both great ways to ground.
Dorothy Laskey, a great crystal and gem master writes, “In scientific terms, grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size (such as the ground or the Earth). An effective ground is simply an object with significant enough size to share the overwhelming majority of excess charge. (And what better way to ground ourselves than with the Earth itself?).”
Stones and gems have amazing grounding properties. When people are grounded, they feel more connected to their inner self and to their environment. Their minds flow free of negative chatter and they are more proficient and happier in performing daily tasks. My favorite gems and stones to wear is listed below. For optimal usage, try dabbing essential oils that calm the senses, such as lavender, or doTerra’s balance. Using stones and gems as a diffuser is a great way to take the grounding element with you, even if you are in “flight” and traveling or moving about.
