Overall, it is believed that sardonyx can leave a person feeling empowered to be the best version of themselves. By incorporating this crystal into their healing practice, people have reported feeling happier and having a positive outlook on life. It's believe that it can help reduce irritability as well.
Sardonyx is associated with:
- Bravery
- Positivity
- Empowerment
- Charisma
Think about why you decided to try crystal healing in the first place. Were you hoping that it might help increase your bravery? Were you wanting to feel empowered to take risks you might have avoided in the past? If you answered yes to either of those questions, or if the properties we outlined above resonate with you, it might be a sign that this is the crystal you should include in your healing practice.
Sardonyx is also primarily aligned with the root chakra. The rook chakra is known for influencing how secure we feel in our identity. When it's out of alignment, you will probably be feeling insecure and unsure of who you are. Many have used sardonyx to realign the root chakra, leaving you feeling certain in your identity.
Prep Your Sardonyx Crystal Element
Before you start your healing journey with sardonyx, you need to get rid of any negative energy that your element might be charged with. Crystals are receptive to the energies in their surrounding environments and there is a good chance that your element will encounter negative energy when it goes from our facility to your mailbox.
There's no need to worry! That is completely natural and to be expected. There are a few methods we recommend for cleansing your sardonyx.
The first method we recommend is washing it in warm, soapy water. Luke-warm water from the tap is fine for this. Use a soft, clean cloth to wash your crystal with the soapy water. Rinse the soap off and either let your element air dry or dry it with a different soft, clean cloth.
The next cleansing method we recommend is harnessing the power of the sun to remove negative energy. Crystals are responsive to the energy from both the sun and the moon and can be an easy way to cleanse your element. Leave your element out in the sun for no more than an hour—exposure to direct sunlight for too long can later the color of your crystal.
The final method we recommend for cleansing sardonyx is harnessing the power of the moon. As we mentioned above, crystals are responsive to the moon's power. The best time to charge your crystal with the moon's energy is during a full moon. Leave your element in the moonlight overnight and it will be ready to go in the morning.
Every month or so, you'll want to engage in one of the above methods to get rid of any negative energy that your element encounters through daily wear.
Begin Healing With Sardonyx
Now that you've cleansed your crystal, it's time to begin your healing journey! The first step to crystal healing, regardless of the crystal you're using, is to do some introspective work. Are you having any doubts about crystal healing? Are you hesitant about what you might be able to accomplish with the practice? Whatever skepticisms you may be harboring, it's important to figure out where they're coming from and work through them. You'll want to have an open mind and believe that you can achieve something with your practice.
After working through your hesitancies, you will then want to focus on your intended outcome for your practice. Your intention should be specific and align with the properties and associations we shared above.
For sardonyx, you might consider setting an intention to give you the strength to try something new that puts your out of your comfort zone every day. You could also set an intention to find the bravery to switch careers or move to a brand new city.
Once you've decided what your intention will be, write it down. Writing it down can help it feel more tangible to achieve and can remind you of what you set out to accomplish. After writing it down, hold your sardonyx crystal element in your hand and speak your intention into it. Do this a few times to really cement what you want to accomplish with your practice. As you wear your element, think about your intention and make decisions that align with it.
After a while, you might decide that you've achieved what you wanted to, or that your intention no longer applies to where you are in life. That's to be expected—your circumstances are constantly changing and sometimes life throws us things that our out of our control. To set a new intention, use one of the cleansing methods to cleanse your crystal and repeat the above intention-setting process.
Be Brave and Find Courage
You are now ready to begin your journey into being a braver person. We hope that you are able to start finding your inner courage and recognizing your true strength.
