The spiritual meaning of Shungite is that of a ‘Neutralizer’. Equally balancing the left and right sides of your body, or yin and yang. Shungite is extremely beneficial in purification, grounding, healing, and protection.
The single best way to use Shungite is to wear it on your person, daily. It doesn’t matter much how you wear it.
Pendants are always a classic, but earrings, bracelets, brooches, or even rings work just as well. But you should be very careful with your Shungite if you wear it as a ring – its relative softness makes it somewhat fragile! The key thing with Shungite is, that it should always be near you.
If you want to absorb negative energy in a specific environment, such as a home or office, then the same rule applies. Place a piece of Shungite in the room, preferably in the place where you feel most conscious of the negative energy. If you’re in an office, this might be near your door, where you can see all the coworkers that you’re having negative experiences with.
Here are the best methods how to cleanse a Shungite crystal:
- Wash it with water and dry it under sunlight or moonlight for at least two hours.
- Cleansing with sage
- Shungite crystals can also be left to soak in water mixed with sea salt. If sea salt is not available, you can use table salt
But because Shungite absorbs a lot of negativity, it’s important to still cleanse it, even if it’s a crystal that does not need to be cleansed. When you cleanse it, Shungite will remain a powerful cleansing, purifying, and protective crystal.
