With its gentle, nourishing vibrations, it is a powerful healing crystal that makes the perfect meditation partner. In this guide, we will take a look at the benefits of unakite, and the best way to include it in your practices.
What is Unakite
Unakite is a crystal actually made up of two other constituent stones, pink orthoclase feldspar, and green epidote, alongside small quartz particles, which give it a beautiful speckled appearance, with glinting sparkles which catch the light beautifully.
It is formed in the deep heat of the Earth’s crust, and has been brought to the surface over millennia of mountain formation and tectonic movement.
The two constituent stones work together to create a harmonizing stone, and its formation deep underground make it a powerful grounding crystal too.
Benefits of Unakite
Unakite is a crystal with strong harmonizing powers. It combines well with other healing crystals to emphasize their strengths, gently amplifying their vibrations with its own.
But unakite is also a strong solo player. Here are just a few benefits of bringing unakite healing crystals into your meditation practices:
- Supports and encourages empathy
- Amplifies feelings of affection
- Helps to foster a positive perspective
- Promotes psychological and spiritual wellbeing
- Boosts fertility and supports during pregnancy
- Strengthens those facing addiction
How to Use Unakite
Unakite is a versatile stone with powers that can be harnessed in a multitude of ways. If the benefits of unakite sound like they could bring some positivity and healing into your life, try using it in one or all of the following ways:
Around the Home
Unakite is a stone that can help you to fall in love with other objects, so it’s recommended to place it around the home. Generic placings work, but to really get the most out of this ability, place it near objects that you want to create a close bond with, such as a work space or passion project.
For example, if you have a hobby or a project that you are beginning to feel disillusioned with, try to place a piece of unakite near it for a few days, and you will begin to feel your passion and enthusiasm return.
Wearing Unakite
Unakite works well with other healing crystals when worn together on the body, helping to harmonize different powers and bring vibrations into alignment. Try carrying or wearing unakite to work to help to unleash creativity and boost confidence in your professionalism.
Meditating with Unakite
Bringing unakite into your meditation practices is the best way to amplify the benefits it brings, especially when placed over the sacral chakra. When used in this way it gives us the strength to process difficult emotions with compassion and empathy, both for ourselves and for those around us.
Unakite also loves to be outdoors, so a meditation session in the garden with unakite can magnify its vibrations, while also bringing peace and harmony to the people who use the space.
Continuing Your Practice
Unakite is a powerful crystal that works well as a team player and on its own, why not try it in your practice and see what it can do for you?
