Personal Power Stones
Working with Higher Dimensions

To have personal power is to feel grounded, energetic, capable, and confident. Though it is sometimes said that only certain crystals are power stones, there are actually many stones that can be used to help bring us the personal power we need, either for a specific situation or generally for everyday living. Any clear crystal can energize our system so that we feel more powerfully energetic and less depleted. Any gold colored stone, such as yellow topaz, citrine, apatite, or yellow spinel, can bring us the strength of will that is needed to feel powerful and confident. Golden tiger eye is an especially powerful stone to use because it can combine the navel energy with the grounding into the earth, bringing its power to combine with our strength of will. Red stones, like garnet, ruby, red carnelian, and red spinel or beryl, can add fire energy to our system if we lack energy or feel tired. It will also bring us the confidence in our ability to powerfully survive and flourish during any life situation. Orange stones, like sunstone, orange fluorite, orange topaz, or red aventurine (which is orange colored), can help us with manifesting anything that we envision, especially if combined with the red fire stones and yellow willpower stones. Purple stones and/or royal blue stones, combined with the red, orange, or yellow stones will add higher wisdom and insight to guide our actions and help us find creative solutions to help us through any problems or impediments to successful action. Good purple stones to use are amethyst, purple alexandrite, iolite, purple garnet and tourmaline, charoite, purple scapolite, kunzite, purple topaz or sugilite. Royal blue stones that are helpful are sapphire, blue tourmaline, tanzanite, blue apatite, benitoite, lapis, or sodalite.

Stone formation for grounding and energizing. Together, the yellow jade, smoky quartz, and orange carnelian provide the grounding and strength of will for manifesting life force and empowerment. Spirals carved into the jade represent positive life force energy.

Besides carrying these stones with us to influence our subtle bodies, we can actively meditate with them, holding them in our hand and feeling their energy enter our body through our hands and arms to eventually fill us with their specific power. It is helpful to hold either the clear quartz, royal blue stones, or purple stones to our third eye in order to see solutions to our problems, to help us see ways in which we may be undercutting our own power, and to gain the wisdom to help us be more creative in the ways in which we operate in our everyday lives. If we have people in our lives that are actively opposing us in some way, we can use the red and yellow stones to build a protective aura around us, envisioning their attacks bouncing off its surface, leaving us undisturbed. We can also use these stones to surround ourselves with an energetic power grid as we meditate within their center, feeling their power protect, empower, and guide us.
