Top 3 Grounding Stones To Amplify Your Spiritual Practice

It sounds counterintuitive doesn’t it?

Using grounding stones to strengthen a spiritual practice seems like opposites at play. However, being able to take your spiritual practice further requires a strong foundation. Using grounding stones enables you to explore the spiritual realm where your wants and desires live AND they give you the direction that you need in order to manifest your dreams into reality.

The Common Mistake Spiritual Newbies Make

As a spiritual newbie, most people focus on experiences outside of the body through practices like meditation, journeying, or channeled writing. These are experiences where you can quickly tap into the energy of the divine after a few sessions. This type of spiritual practice can feel wonderful but is also completely disconnected from the world around you. As soon as your spiritual exercise is complete, you can find yourself falling back into your routine, frustrated that the joy you experienced during transcendence doesn’t transfer into your daily life.

A Better Way Forward

This was my experience too until I started working with crystals. It was at that time that I learned a lot about grounding techniques, things that would bring me back from a deep trance and help acclimate me back to the physical world. These practices felt like a completely separate experience from my spiritual journeys. It felt like a gentle way to transition from my spiritual world into reality. Grounding became an extremely important part of my practice because, among other things, it helped me work through episodes of anxiety. I spent a lot of time worrying about the future but a grounding practice kept me rooted in the here and now.

Soon after, I started working with petrified wood to help enhance my grounding practice. I immediately felt connected to nature. Placing one piece in each hand, I would mediate and from there I was able to easily connect with the world around me while simultaneously navigating the spiritual realm. It finally hit me that grounding was a way to connect with Mother Earth, one of the great teachers. She is the ultimate manifestation of spirituality into the physical world. It is through the tools she offers like crystals, herbs, and animals that one is able to connect with the spiritual realm so much more powerfully. By creating a spiritual practice that embraces grounding, I was able to create better alignment with my mind, body, and spirit and therefore bring my dreams to life.

The Best Grounding Stones For Your Practice

As the days get colder here in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s extremely important to create a grounding practice that will connect you to the earth. If you are like me, you will spend less and less time outdoors as the temperatures turn harsh. You can still tap into the energy of nature by meditating with crystals. Here are some of my favorites to try that will send you to the depths of the earth and beyond.

Petrified Wood

Find yourself wandering in a forest when you connect to petrified wood. This stone is amazing for journeys that beckon you to explore the wonders of the trees. Travel back in time by holding a piece in each hand and letting the spirit of the wood take you to a more simplified world. Let your burdens fall away as you let go of pettiness and trivial matters in order to see the bigger picture. When life gets too complex, grab petrified wood to remind you that answers often lie in simplicity.

Jasper

A favorite stone for cooler months, Jasper comes in a multitude of colors and patterns. Intuitively choose a piece of jasper that calls to you and place it close to your root chakra. You will feel the loving tendrils of Mother Earth start wrapping her vines around your feet and legs as she envelopes your entire body into a loving blanket of leaves. You will feel the protective tones of Jasper start building energetic walls around your aura to ward off negative energy and bring in only that which serves you. Release your worries and fears because Jasper is here to make it right.

Lodolite (aka Scenic Quartz or Garden Quartz)

Power up your abilities of sight by gazing into a beautiful piece of Lodolite, also known as Scenic Quartz or Garden Quartz. The transcendent qualities of the quartz will activate your third eye and help you see an entire ecosystem in your piece of Lodolite. Let yourself get lost in the world of colors, textures, and patterns and see what symbols appear to you. You will soon find yourself walking (energetically) in nature attuned to plant and animal life. Lodolite helps you activate your inner sight while you stay grounded allowing you to better attune your psychic abilities to help you follow your destiny.
