Garnet- Birthstone for January

Vibrant, rich, red. Those words describe January’s birthstone: Red Garnet. Garnets are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless. The rarest of these is the blue Garnet. The  Red Garnet is the most common and known as the birthstone for January as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912. Garnets were used ever since the Bronze Age.  They were used in Ancient Egypt.

Garnet stimulates the Root Chakra and the Heart Chakra, making it a useful stone to bring your heartfelt desires into the world. >> Continue reading

How to Balance the Root Chakra: wear a gemstone anklet!

Having trouble staying focused?  Is your mind wondering all over the place?  Not  sure where you are? So many changes in life have you wondering who you are?
These are uncertain times for sure and our very survival seems to be threatened.  No wonder it is hard to keep grounded when the very ground we walk upon is shaking.
The root chakra is all about money, jobs, how we  make our living, survival, our connection to the earth, nature and the physical world around us. It has to do with the material plane.  This is where we feel balanced as we walk on the earth.  If you have issues related to survival in the physical world or need energy and vitality,  consider holding some chakra balancing gemstones like Garnet and Hematite.

Remember to take a walk in nature, touch the earth to help balance your root chakra. >> Continue reading
