Carnelian Mala/Prayer set

Carnelian is an orange-colored stone in the Chalcedony family, and gets its name from the resemblance to the Kornel type of cherry. In ancient times, Carnelian was believed to give the wearer courage in battle and to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. These beliefs are not too far off from what we intuitively believe in modern times as the stone supports qualities of leadership and courage.

Carnelian activates the first, second and third chakras, bridging an influx of life force, sexual and creative energies, and assertive will. It is a powerful aid to those who wish to build confidence, courage, passion, and power within themselves. It is of great help to the gentle souls who wish for good things but have difficulty making them happen. Often, those who lean in the direction of spirituality do their inner work from the heart chakra up, ignoring the untidy realms of the physical existence associated with the first three chakras. This is an error which can make one ineffectual and passive in one’s life. Without the vitality of the physical energies, one can neither enjoy life nor have much power over it. Carrying or wearing Carnelian can aid in awakening the vital energies of the three lower chakras, increasing zest for living and the willingness to take the risks inherent in all strong actions.
