This grounding bracelet with Smokey Quartz, Carnelian, Citrine, Chrysocolla & Hematite vibrates with a range of protective & transformative energies that can support us if we find that the wounds of unprocessed trauma may be keeping us so locked into the pain of the past that we find ourselves blocking our capacity to open up to achieving our full potential. It’s a bracelet that reminds us of our self-worth & our right to own & reach for the abundance of our dreams.
Smokey Quartz & Carnelian Chrysocolla & Hematite all bring healing to our Root Chakra our anchor & the source of our very will to survive. Our Root Chakra is the foundation of the physical & spiritual life force energy that flows within us. It can be deeply affected by buried wounds & unprocessed trauma – our own & even ancestral trauma. These wounds can undermine our very sense of our belonging in our world & if our Root Chakra becomes destabilised all our other Chakras can become misaligned. When our Root Chakra has become unbalanced or blocked, we may find ourselves anxious & restless or sluggish & frozen but always plagued by a deep sense of insecurity & overwhelm that we may try to block with addictive patterns of overwork & overindulgence.
Cleansing our Root Chakra allows life force energy to flow freely through our Chakra system revitalising our sense of self-worth & our belief that we belong & our actions & that choices make a difference.
Chrysocolla helps to open our Root Chakra so we can begin to feel a sense of connection with our own body & that vital flow of energy within us while Smokey Quartz & Hematite cloak us in a deeply protective high vibrational energy that supports clearing the negative energies that may have been fuelling our sense of overwhelm. Each brings balance & alignment to our Root Chakra grounding us an energetic stability that helps consolidate our connection with our physical body so we feel secure & stable, at peace with ourselves & our world. Smokey Quartz also casts its web of protection downwards into our Earth Chakra, our soul connection, that is located 6” below our feet helping us to dischange excess energies from our body.
With its hot fiery energy Carnelian then stimulates our Root Chakra sweeping out the negative energies of past traumas that may have kept us edgy & insecure, always craving stimulation to distract us from our sluggish, anxious overwhelm. It’s a crystal that inspires a deep sense of internal safety creating space for a reawakening of our zest for life & a warrior spirit that is ready to take emotional risks as we step into a sense of our power & purpose in life.
This sense of safety & balance in our Root Chakra allows energies to flow upwards through our Chakra system & these crystals next work on our Sacral Chakra, the centre of our life force & the source of our joie de vivre. Our Sacral Chakra is the site of our passion & playfulness, our desires, gut feelings & our deepest creative instincts & a felt sense of lack of safety wounds it, curtailing the lively, unfettered, joyful energy of our inner child & contracting our capacity to attach & attune to our loved ones & even to connect our most authentic sense of self.
When our Sacral Chakra becomes imbalanced or blocked we learn to repress our feelings to the point of emotional disconnect – if we are not met in our authenticity where is the point of even acknowledging our feelings to ourselves & this felt sense of emotional scarcity can leave us demotivated & directionless to the point that we may struggle to find the motivation to even attempt to each our goals. When we feel this lost it is hard to connect – to ourselves & others – we lose touch with our sensuality & our creativity & without a clear sense of self we become more susceptible to relationships based on co-dependency.
Carnelian & Citrine open & stimulate our Sacral Chakra with Carnelian encouraging an upwards flow of energy that reawakens our zest for life, reconnecting us with our vibrant inner child who savours life’s pleasures & loves to joyfully go with the flow while Citrine vibrates with a pure healing energy shakes the blockages from our Sacral clearing our mind & stirring our soul to action.
A gap in our felt sense of our own power also has a detrimental affect on our Solar Plexus, the home of our ego & the melting pot for our intentions for ourselves relation to our world. If it becomes blocked & constricted we can struggle to value ourselves, finding it hard to define our boundaries or even feel safe with articulating our own thoughts values & beliefs.
Smokey Quartz Carnelian & Hematite all stimulate our Solar Plexus Chakra, bringing an energetic cleanse that helps us break free from what can be a strangle hold of negative emotions & insecure feelings of self-doubt & shame that sap our mental & physical energies leaving us feeling helpless & even overwhelmed by a victim mentality. Citrine shakes out blockages in our Solar Plexus Chakra while Carnelian, Smokey Quartz & Hematite promote a healthy cycle of energy that flows upwards to our Crown Chakra & downwards through our Root Chakra synthesising the flow of communication between mind & body that allows us to experience a deeper sense of mental clarity & focus so we feel confident of our capacity to make informed decisions & clear about our aspirations the steps we can take to achieve our highest intentions & goals.
As Smokey Quartz, Carnelian Citrine & Hematite consolidate this space of internal safety, security & personal power within our lower Chakras they create the perfect environment for Chrysocolla to open & purify our upper Chakras from our Heart through to our Throat Chakras. Ae life lived in lack of a felt sense of safety is likely to have also blocked & unbalanced out Heart, our Thymus & out Throat Chakras leaving us feeling lonely & isolated & struggling with all aspects of trust - including self-trust - & unable to articulate the truth we hold within us. Our struggle to experience our own personal power means our locus of control is likely to be positioned outside us – we feel the world is happening to us & we can only respond – a felt sense of powerlessness that may leave us feeling constantly victimised or always needing to hold onto & wield the upper hand. Living in a perpetual struggle for control leaves us constantly triggered & over-reactive to others & our environment.
With its gentle energies, Chrysocolla enriches our sense of internal safety, encouraging us to embrace compassion - including self-compassion – so we give ourselves permission to let go of the wounds of heartache & trauma creatine space to get comfortable with the range of our emotional landscape & the timbre of inner voice , a new world where we feel safe to speak our inner truth with honesty & authenticity, confident that we are entitled to ask for what we want & need & have the feel safe to both give & receive love.
