Stones of Protection

Crystals and Stones of Protection:

One of THE MOST asked questions at Awaken Boutique is what stones should I buy for protection?

First off - what are you trying to protect against?

There are many options so the more specific you can be, the easier it is to choose!

The most common, or popular stones, of Obsidian, Tourmaline, or Hematite, while are fabulous choices, are not necessarily the best!

When considering what you are trying to achieve, or accomplish, remember that the stones are all of the Earth and are inherently Yin.  Yin Qi/Chi ( Energy) purpose is to hold, contain, or secure. 

On the other hand, Yang Qi is of Heaven.  Yang Qi is inherently that of movement, transformation or transportation.

With this approach in mind we can recommend stones that can help move, or secure Qi/Chi/ Energy!

Let’s go into this a little further;

Obsidian is volcanic rock. It’s been under a lot of pressure, surviving the explosion of heat! Obsidian comes in colors of Golden Sheen, Silver Sheen and Rainbow; making it even more powerful in its abilities and properties!

Pyrite - often called Fool’s Gold, contains significant amounts of Sulfur , also known as Brimstone! Sulfur’s properties are known for cleansing, just as salt would clear an area.

Lapis Lazuli- with its heavenly blue color, contains pyrite. With this combination we can use the powers of Yang Heavenly Qi and the powerful cleansing of Pyrite, we can see how beneficial this might be!

Celestite- like its name, offers a strong, yet gentle strength of pure Heavenly Yang Qi to support any situation.

Sunstone- shimmering, sparkling strength to power away any negativity that one might encounter with the strongest Yang Qi.

Astrophyllite - a rare mineral that radiates light and energy. Many people believe it is so strong that it imbues your system with light and prevents darkness from enveloping you. This stone’s delicate gold, silver or blue blades radiate light and energy to not simply remove negative energy. It simply overrides it!
