Crystals for Grounding and Earth Connection By Adrienne Goff, Crystal Healer at Nature’s Treaures


I


f you have been feeling anxious, spacey, scattered, discon- nected, unsafe, out of control, stuck in your head, or unable to manifest, it’s time to get grounded. Grounding is the


process of connecting your energy to the planet, while bring- ing your consciousness more fully into your body and into the present moment. Being grounded balances your root chakra. It gives you the


power to take care of your life and to birth your higher visions, light, and offerings into the world. Come back down to Earth with the help of these four grounding stones. Hematite: Due to its iron content,


Hematite is one of the most powerful grounding stones—anchoring you firmly into your body and into the iron core of the Earth. It feels like a magnet that draws excess, stray energy from your chakras and meridians into your root and into the Earth. It clears, balances, and aligns your chakras and the layers of your aura, while sealing and protecting your energy field. With your energy system functioning optimally, it’s easier to be centered, focused, and effective in your daily life. If you have an issue with escapism, resulting in unhealthy


coping mechanisms or addictions, Hematite can help you to overcome these patterns. It’s a stone of integration and manifes- tation. It pulls all of your pieces together, healing and balancing them so that you can focus your light and giſts into manifesta- tion on the physical plane. Smoky Quartz: If the energy of He-


matite feels too intense or heavy for you, grab a Smoky! Smoky Quartz grounds your energy and consciousness into your body and into the present moment, but with a lighter touch. It acts as a connector between your energy field and the Earth. Negative energy is released from your system and channeled into the planet, where it is purified and transmuted. Depression, anxiety, stress, and fear are siphoned off, resulting in a much lighter emotional state. Smoky Quartz focuses your mind, counteracting spaciness


and scattered thinking so that you can knock out your to-do list. It is also a wonderful meditation tool that clears distract- ing thoughts and grounds psychic impressions, visions, and information into your conscious awareness. Petrified Wood: Trees are living exam-


ples--quietly demonstrating what it means to be deeply rooted into the Earth, while simultaneously branching and connecting with a higher energy source above. Petri- fied Wood is ancient tree matter that has been replaced by another mineral, usually Quartz or Agate. Te crystalline material
