Carnelian
and the Chakras
Chakra healers regard Carnelian for its connection to the 2nd
Chakra or the Spleen Chakra. This area is the body’s center for creative
and sexual, pure emotional energies, but healers also associate it with
the five physical senses. The six petaled Lotus, deep orange colors and
Aries are all connected to this region. When these energies are unblocked
by Carnelian and the energy flows freely, one feels a deeper appreciation
of his or her body, a greater connection with friends and lovers and a
reduction of guilty feelings. These effects result in a more spontaneous,
energetic and giving individual.
Physical
Healing
Because
of its connection to the 2nd Chakra, New Age healers believe
Carnelian to be instrumental in maintaining health in the lower abdomen.
They use it to treat impotence, menstrual cramps, infertility associated
with this region. However, they have also turned to its power for healing
neuralgia, rheumatism, asthma, skin and blood conditions and insomnia. It
is considered so effective in healing dermatological ailments such as acne
and psoriasis, that some even recommend Carnelian for the treatment of
skin disorders of pets.
