Carnelian is an orange to red colored stone. It comes in a variety of sizes, but just a little rock will have a strong impact. The colors lend a hand in releasing fear and apathy to motivate you into taking steps forward in your goals. If you meditate with Carnelian, it can create a fiery energy barrier around you to continually be moving forward in whatever you’re creating in your life. It helps with emotional release of heavy, painful emotions tied to the past, and assists with encouragement and inspiration.

- Restoring energy and motivation to achieve your goals
- Assists in creative projects and focus

Healing Properties of Carnelian
Emotional – Emotionally, carnelian can release stuck emotions like apathy that can be harmful and limiting to your life. It promotes positive encouragement to release past, painful emotions that have kept you stuck and from seeing opportunities. As you see things differently, carnelian helps for you to focus on the present and that those memories may not have been so bad or don’t need to be focused on at this time, that you can truly create the life you wish to live. It releases feelings of anger, rage, lust, pride, and other trapped emotions that may keep you in a negative pattern as well.
Mental – Carnelian helps you focus on the present so that you can accomplish your projects and goals with ease. It motivates you to see a perspective from a place of action. In this perspective, you can notice the hurdles you’ve had to face, or challenges you will face in the future, and see how to overcome them. As you focus on the present, you will naturally let the past go and achieve your goals.
Physical – Physically, carnelian re-energizes you! It works in the root chakra to ground and stabilize your energy (Hall, J., p. 95). It also works with the following: arthritis, healing depression, reproduction and fertility, lower back problems, blood, kidneys, bones, and ligaments (Hall, J., p. 95).
