I don’t know about you, but it feels like life is constantly speeding up. Everything seems to be getting faster and faster, and I can often feel like I’m being left behind.
I frequently feel scattered, anxious, overwhelmed, and quickly drained. I know it’s not just me, so what can we do about it?
Being grounded in ourselves is a fantastic place to start.
Really, we can only control ourselves, so this is the best place to begin.
Being connected to who I am, my values and my path helps to create clarity and focus when all around me is chaos.
I can also protect my energy.
I can remain positive, peaceful, and spiritually safe by not allowing negative energy and toxic emotions to infiltrate my energy field.
Let’s learn more about how we can do this and discover the best crystals for grounding and protection.
What Is Grounding?
Grounding, at its core, is the practice of energetically connecting to the Earth.
It balances your body’s spiritual and physical energy, so you feel clear, centred, strong and focused.
You become rooted in the present, and your energy has a reference point.
You are ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’. You are energetically connected to yourself, your values and your vision.
You can reconnect to your own energy source and realign with what is really important to you.
When you are ungrounded, you may experience physical, mental, emotional or spiritual exhaustion.
Your energy is scattered, and you lack focus or are easily distracted.
You might be easily affected by your environment and other people’s energy or moods.
You could have disturbed sleep patterns, chronic pain, fatigue, or inflammation.
You are unconnected to your body and life; you feel out of control, chaotic, and powerless.
When you become grounded, you are living in alignment with your vision.
Grounded can be achieved by working with crystals, by spending time in nature, and through meditation.
What is Protection And Why Do I Need It?
The pace of life can bombard us with fear and toxic emotions. Encountering negative energies and negative people can have an adverse reaction to our own energy.
We do what we can to avoid this negativity. But when it appears in our workplaces, homes, or other situations where we can’t avoid them, we must provide our own energetic safety and protection.
Protecting our energy is an exceptionally high form of self-care.
By practising self-protection, we become emotionally and spiritually safe.
Being able to repel negative energy and expel it from our bodies, environment and aura helps to keep us safe from psychic harm.
Energy protection provides a shield against any negative thought patterns trying to harm your vibration.
How Do Grounding Crystals And Protection Stones Help Us?
As crystals are particularly good at resonating with our energy fields, they are excellent to use for grounding.
They help balance out our energies, absorb negativity, and protect us from negative energies.
The best crystals for grounding have earthy qualities, colours and properties and support and stabilise our energy.
Crystals used for protection have spiritual properties that can help in many areas of our lives.
They radiate vibrations to help create a balanced, peaceful, and safe environment.
The Crystals for Grounding and Protection
A wide range of crystals is available for grounding, balancing and protection.
Here is a selection of the best crystals for grounding and protection.
Grounding Stones
Hematite
Hematite is known as the ultimate grounding crystal.
It has a powerful grounding energy, which makes you feel like you are being pulled into the Earth.
It emits magnetic energy that keeps you balanced, calm, and centred.
It also removes negative energy from your body or energy field by drawing that energy into itself.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz is another brilliant grounding stone to use, especially if Hematite feels too much for you.
It is a more subtle energy than Hematite yet still potent.
It helps to centre the body and expels any negative vibrations.
Used on the root chakra, smoky quartz balances and cleanses this chakra so that you feel more grounded and rooted in the Earth.
Shungite
A powerful crystal for balance and grounding, Shungite balances the root chakra to assist you in feeling grounded.
It encourages you to deal with your emotions, toxic thoughts and anything that no longer serves you.
Shungite does not let you off easy; it makes you confront these issues.
However, it also gives you the strength and confidence to sever the energetic cords holding you back from living as your whole self.
Jasper
Jasper is one of the best grounding stones and has long been valued for its healing and grounding energies as it transmits a powerful Earth energy.
Wearing or meditating with Jasper will help to deepen your connection with the Earth.
Even though there are many types of Jasper stones available, they all contain this potent Earth energy.
Onyx
Onyx is another fabulous grounding stone to relieve stress and fear and re-establish balance within.
It restores confidence and self-belief by absorbing negative energy and provides support and guidance on your path.
Protection Stones
Black Obsidian
Black Obsidian is known as one of the most potent protection stones. It protects you from negative energies by transforming them into positive energies.
It has a calming energy and carries feelings of safety and protection.
Black Obsidian reminds you to always look for the positive, for the silver linings of every situation.
Carrying this crystal with you provides clarity and peace of mind.
Clear Quartz
Thought to act as a shield against negative energy, Clear Quartz also attracts positivity.
It instils calm, peace, and safety in your life.
Wear it close to your body, and be sure to set a clear intention when using this stone.
Black Tourmaline
Black Tourmaline is a powerful protection stone that clears your environment of negative and toxic energy.
One of the best crystals to use for grounding yourself and protection, black tourmaline emits positive energy into your environment and is also very useful as a grounding stone.
Amethyst
Not just a pretty face, Amethyst is also a powerful protector.
It helps repel negative energy and is particularly good when you have been around many people.
If large crowds and public spaces leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed, wearing this wonderful healing stone will help to keep negative energies at bay.
Tigers Eye
A striking-looking crystal, tigers eye is a stone of protection as it wards off negative energy.
Traditionally worn as an amulet to ward off evil, it does double duty as a grounding stone too.
It helps to clear the root chakra to provide you with a sense of stability and safety.
Final Thoughts
There are many crystals for grounding, balancing and protection, and it can be pretty overwhelming to know which one is for you.
When searching for crystals, hold them in your hand to feel if their vibrations resonate with you. If you are purchasing online, let the crystal communicate visually with you.
In both situations, the crystal that is best for your situation will make itself known to you.
Now, this list is by no means exhaustive, and there may be other grounding stones out there that you may be attracted to.
Remember to use your intuition as to what crystals are best for you. And, as always, cleanse and charge your crystals before use.
I started Spirit of Sapphire in August 2017 after finally building up the courage to start reading tarot for people other than my loved ones.
At the same time, I embarked upon expanding my spiritual knowledge and skills and so attended various psychic mediumship courses and circles, and I also began to train as a Reiki practitioner.
I’ve designed this site to be a hub of spiritual knowledge. As I learn new things, I want to share them with you.
