How to Use, Purify, and Recharge Carnelian Stones
Carnelian allows the sacral and solar plexus chakras to open and balance.
Wear carnelian stone as jewelry, or hold a raw or rolled stone in your hand to stimulate the body, vitality and creativity. Placed on the solar plexus chakra, carnelian will act on self-confidence, the joy of living and will give the strength to accomplish projects.
A protective stone, you can also place a carnelian stone in your home to diffuse its energy.
To purify carnelian, place your stone in salted distilled water. Then rinse the stone and wipe it with a soft cloth.
You can also purify your stone by fumigation, by burning a bundle of white sage, incense or a stick of Palo Santo, or with the sound technique by placing the stone in a singing bowl.
Then recharge your stone by exposing it to light with plenty of sunlight for a few hours, or by placing it on a pile of quartz for a day.
