Lava Rock is a purification crystal. It is one of the premier healing stones. It is very popular and extensively used in the healing arts. It clears and purifies negative energy better than any other stone. It has amazing properties of relieving both mental and physical stress, sort of like a “stress absorber.” It is also one of the most used stones for grounding one’s energy to the power of the Earth. Unless you stay grounded in the planetary energies you are likely to suffer from stress, listlessness, and feeling of being “disconnected” and alienated.

Lava Rock is associated with Libra. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Libra is considered a “masculine”, positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered an air sign and is one of four cardinal signs. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus (which also rules Taurus). Being the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra has been associated with the astrological seventh house. Libras are commonly referred to as feisty and fiery individuals.

Lava Rock has Fire energy and is used in the south area of a home or room. Fire elemental energy is the energy of enthusiasm, warmth, brightness, illumination and activity. It is Yang in nature.

Lava Rock is one of the most common meditation crystal. Lava Rock will ground you in the Earth’s energies so you are free to explore your spirit world without harm or danger. Always start a meditation with a Lava Rock stone.

Since lava is known for its grounding qualities, it’s wonderful for calming the emotions. In fact, the quality of fire springs from the ground, so in terms of healing gems, this lends itself to a calming- but intense- energy. Because it comes from raw energy, it’s considered to be a stone of rebirth and shedding unneeded layers of emotional attachment. It is very useful in dissipating anger. It promotes positive changes where needed in behavioral issues.

Transformation & New Beginning

Just by glancing at any Lava Rock piece, you can see how it is a true fragment of Mother Earth. It is a tiny sliver of her physical shell yet contains some of the most abundant energy she has to offer. Lava Rock is a representation of the blood our home planet sacrificed to create a livable biome. The energy encased within Lava Rock is raw and primal. At one time, this tough stone was a free-flowing liquid that ebbed and flowed with its environment. This form of earth’s energy was so powerful it devastated anything in its path yet left a fresh layer to start anew. This is one of the many effects that this small piece of Earth can have on you. One will stop existing within this plane and transform into the primordial being that we know is within. Lava Rock pushes one to have a breakthrough and to ultimately transform their entire life. Working with this stone can bring the real you to the surface and lay fresh ground for you to plant your roots.

A Fire Inside

All of us have a fire inside and it is our destiny to ignite it. More importantly, one must be able to find what it is that really gets you out of bed each day. These small actions describe the life that you would like to live and the massive change that's required to achieve it. Lava Rock directs your internal desires to your second brain (your gut), which houses your incredible will that is needed to maintain your happiness. Place this stone directly over your navel while meditating and allow the most delicate of energies to be pulled out by this crystal. You will know the feeling once these emotions begin to take flight. Success takes hard work and Lava Rock pulls the hard-worker out of you.

Grounding

Our root chakra is responsible for our connection to this physical plane. By activating it through a crystal’s energy and meditation, one can root themselves and bring forth higher energies, thoughts, and feelings. As the stone’s “grounding” effect takes place, one will notice a slow release of control. This is all a part of the process to slow yourself down and live in the moment. Our heads are distracted continuously each day by nonsense and energy-wasting thoughts. Lava Rock helps extinguish those ideas and provide a clean slate for us to begin imaging from the soul.

Infusion of Essential Oils

Lava Rock is a remarkable stone to use with your favorite essential oils. Its surface is able to hold and slightly absorb those essences.

We recommend starting your meditation how you would normally, but this time hold a piece of Lava Rock infused with the oil. Take deep breaths and inhale the relaxing and healing benefits of any oil you would like. We at the Crystal Council advocate for the use of essential oils in any meditation session. Being able to use this crystal as a tool during this process is a dream come true!

Blessed Be
