Uses of Unakite Crystals

 

Unakite and the Heart Chakra

 

Unakite is often associated with the Heart Chakra, which is located in the center of the chest and is associated with properties such as love, compassion, and emotional balance. 

Wearing or carrying an Unakite crystal can help open and balance the Heart Chakra, helping you to release any emotional blockages you may be suffering from. Emotional blockages can prevent you from whole heartedly experiencing love and compassion, not only from those around you, but from within as well. By helping to heal the Heart Chakra, Unakite can help you connect more deeply with yourself and your loved ones.

Unakite is also said to be a powerful grounding stone, helping to connect you with the earth by promoting a sense of stability and security. Finding a sense of physical stability can be particularly helpful for those who are feeling ungrounded or unstable emotionally.

 

Unakite for Past Life Work

 

While Unakite is primarily associated with the Heart Chakra and emotional healing, it can also be used for past life work.

Past life work involves exploring and healing past life experiences that may be affecting our present life. It is believed that past life experiences can influence our current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and that by addressing and healing these experiences, we can free ourselves from their influence and live more fully in the present.

The properties of Unakite are said to help with past life work because they promote spiritual growth and an enhanced sense of intuition. It is believed that by meditating with or carrying Unakite, you can connect more deeply with your past lives and gain insights into how these experiences may be affecting your present life.
