What Chakra Does Carnelian Belong To?
Carnelian belong to the SACRAL Chakra.
Location: The lower abdomen below the tailbone (includes lower pelvis, womb, and genitals) Colour: Orange Element: Water Signs of balance: Feelings of creativity, playfulness, and sensual and sexual pleasure Signs of imbalance: Addictive/compulsive behaviors, sexual dysfunction, fear of change, emotional instability. In the body, the sacral chakra connects with reproductive issues (infertility, impotence, or menstrual issues) and lower back, kidney, or stomach disorders.
The Svadhisthana chakra relates to the water element, and like water, the sacral energy controls fluidity, versatility, and freedom, whether sexual, emotional, or creative. When in balance, someone feels an abundance of creativity and pleasure. When out of balance, a person feels emotionally unstable, sexual dysfunction, and a lack of creative energy.
How do you Cleanse and Clean Carnelian?
Carnelian should be cleansed every week to keep it at its maximum potential. You can do this by running the stone under tepid water and drying it in the sun for about an hour.
Carnelian can be cleaned very easily using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Be sure to not use any other objects that are harder than Carnelian for scrubbing or cleaning.
As with most gemstones, you should not use any household chemicals when caring for or cleaning your Carnelian gemstone or gemstone jewellery pieces. Carnelian should not be exposed to prolonged periods of heat as it may cause permanent damage to the gemstone.
