Shungite
Shungite in lithotherapy
Shungite owes its name to a small Russian village in the Karelia region called Shunga. It is in this place that the one and only deposit of this stone is found, which explains its extreme rarity. Composed mainly of carbon, it is often said to resemble coal.
The physical, chemical and energetic characteristics of this stone mean that it acts very quickly and sensitively on our body and mind.
Virtues and benefits of Shungite
As an anchor stone, it allows us to refocus our energies with the Earth, and therefore to better fight against all negative external influences.
This rock was once used for its healing properties: in the 17th century, Emperor Peter the Great used it to strengthen his metabolism and even promote his recovery when he was ill.
Nowadays, Shungite is a stone widely used in alternative medicine, especially to protect people who are sensitive to electromagnetic waves such as those emitted by our everyday devices (computer, smartphone, microwave oven, etc.). As proof, it is used in several sectors of industry as a magnetic shield.
It is also an excellent stone to harmonize your body and mind, thus bringing a feeling of calm and serenity.
How do I purify and recharge Shungite?
To continue to benefit from the benefits and virtues of a stone, it is important to purify and recharge it.
Shungite is compatible with all purification and recharging techniques. It is the water purification technique that is the most recommended. Immerse it for a few hours in water (ideally demineralized or slightly salted), then wipe it with a clean cloth.
To recharge it, expose it to sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Or place it on top of a rock crystal or amethyst cluster.
Shungite and Astrology
Unlike other stones, Shungite is compatible with all astrological signs, without any particular distinction.
Shungite and Chakras
The action of shungite is mainly at the level of the root chakra, but it also exerts an influence on the crown chakra.
