Spiritual Healing Properties

Shungite is an incredible stone for grounding, purification, and transformation. It teaches us how to stay in full balance, in our body, mind, heart, and spirit. Shungite asks us to release any silly beliefs about “perfection” we might hold, and instead embrace a life that simply feels Good. Shungite clears our auras and other energy fields, and helps us to stay more firmly centred in our Personal Power. It is a powerful protector against all types of negative energies as well as electromagnetic smog. Shungite is highly recommended for all healers who regularly come in direct contact with patients and clients who have dark or heavy energy.  It also helps the healer’s own personal energy stay clean and clear, so they can continue to do beautiful work.

 

Emotional Healing Properties

Shungite is a unique heart-healer. It helps to draw out negative energy, old emotional pains, and outdated beliefs which bring us down. It gently washes all of that out of our system, and replaces it with pure, clean energy. Shungite encourages us to actively engage in acts of self-care and self-love, and be more discerning about which type of people we invite into our lives. It helps us to recognize and move away from people and activities that are toxic to our emotional health. Likewise, it helps us to accept more good energies into our life and to believe, in our heart-of-hearts, that we deserve to be happy, peaceful, and truly loved.

 

Mental Healing Properties

Shungite calms and grounds the mind, helping us to stay focused and on track. It pierces through confusion and mental clutter, revealing what is truly most important in this moment and where/how to best direct our energies. Shungite helps us to find balance, between our work and personal life, as well as between our relationships/other responsibilities and our own need for self-care. It teaches us that there is time enough for everything, as long as we prioritize correctly and don’t waste time on unimportant and uninspiring activities. It also reminds us that it is important to take time to rest and relax, just as it is important to be active and engaged.

 

Physical Healing Properties

Shungite has been used for centuries for its purifying qualities in water, and is recommended by metaphysical healers both for bathing and drinking elixirs. Noble Shungite is known for its anti-bacterial qualities and all varieties are said to boost the immune system and encourage cell regeneration. It is also believed to help ensure a better night’s sleep, and reduce obsessive thoughts and worrying.
