Rituals in Practice
Garnet is a stone for enhancing rituals. It amplify’s other stones’ abilities and opens pathways for energy to flow freely. It was often in times past a gem for priests/priestesses.
They say that when it shows up in your dreams, it is a catalyst to an answer. Trust the emotions and your intuition that is connecting you to it.
It’s said that the stone cut into a square shape enhances the success of a business, abundance and manifestation. Keep it close at hand when working on your intentions, goals and manifestation rituals.
Since it’s connected directly to the root chakra with it’s vibrant and deep red color, it’s a grounding stone, helping you to feel safe and stable. Carry it in your pocket or on your person (like in jewelry) to utilize this characteristic, confidence and self respect/love.
Garnet is associated with blood. Those who have issues with their blood and/or heart often wear this stone around their neck to support the problem on a spiritual, physical and energetic level.
Use it during chakra balancing meditations to open the flow of energy through the pathways that connect them. Simply place it over your root chakra, heart chakra or hold gently in your hand.
