Kunzite's Compassionate Properties

Kunzite is best known for its calming properties.

Many have used Kunzite to promote self-compassion and self-care during challenging times. If you are someone that has a hard time working through mistakes or being kind to yourself when you mess up, this crystal is for you.

It is believed that Kunzite can also help with maintaining and establishing boundaries. This could be helpful for anyone who can’t say no to your boss or who struggles with over-committing to things.

Kunzite is associated with:

Compassion
Enlightenment
Intuition
Inner Peace

These associations are what this crystal is appreciated for. Being kind to yourself and listening to your body and mind when you’re pushing yourself too much are areas that Kunzite can help with.

Kunzite is also primarily aligned with the heart chakra. When out of alignment, you might be feeling isolated and out of touch with people you care for. It is believed that Kunzite can help realign this chakra and leave you feeling closer and more secure in your relationships with the people in your life.

Cleansing Your Kunzite Element

Crystals collect the energies that they come into contact with. During the process of packaging and shipping, there is a chance that your Kunzite element accumulated some negative energy.

This is completely natural and easily remedied. You can try any of the following methods to get rid of negative energy that your element might be charged with.

The first method you can try for cleansing is to wash your element with warm, soapy water. You can use a small brush to lightly scrub the element in this process. You will want to make sure that your element is completely dry before you begin using it.

The next method you can try for cleansing is to hold the element under a stream of water. This can be done with the water from your tap. You only need to hold it under for a few minutes. This method is great for if you regularly come into contact with negative energies and need to cleanse it a lot.

Another method you can try for cleansing is to charge your element using the light from the moon. This method is most effective when there is a full moon. Simply leave your element out overnight in a spot that has access to the full moonlight.

A final method you can try is burying your element in the soil. This can be done in the soil outside your house or in the soil found in a potted plant. You will want to leave the element there for about a day before taking it out.

You will want to cleanse your element every few months to rid it of the negative energy you come into contact with in your daily life. You can use any of these methods to recleanse.

Open Your Mind to Crystal Healing

Now that you’ve gotten rid of any negative energy that your element was charged with, you can start to use your Kunzite element.

The first step to practicing crystal healing is to work through any skepticism you might have about the process and possibilities. If you don’t have an open mind about what your Kunzite ring can do, you might not receive the most effective healing.

After getting rid of any doubts, you will want to set an intention that is specific and related to the associations and properties mentioned above. This intention will help guide the crystal to best serve you.

For Kunzite, you might consider setting an intention of unlearning negative self-responses when you make a mistake. You could also consider setting an intention to gain the courage to set clear boundaries with friends and your workplace to put you and your health first.

Once you’ve decided what your intention will be, hold the Kunzite in your hands and repeat your intention into it. As you wear your ring, keep the intention in mind and make decisions that align with it.
