SHUNGITE
Known as the stone of life, shungite comes from the Republic of Karelia in Russia. The highest quality of shungite comes from the Zazhoginsky mine in Karelia. The shungite available from Sanctuary of Wellness comes from the Zazhoginsky mine in Karelia. The unique composition of shungite is largely carbon forming fullerene molecules.
Some of the Benefits of Shungite
--The most powerful neutralizer and protector from electromagnetic radiation
--Harmonizes the living spaces/environments in which it is placed
--Restores vitality to the physical and energy bodies
--Strengthens and expands an individual’s energy body and each of the chakras especially the root chakra.
--Very powerful for grounding. When grounded, we feel stronger and secure, more connected to the Earth, and experience vitality and improved health and well-being.
--Has powerful detoxifying and healing properties and purifies water.
Electromagnetic Radiation
In today’s society, we are exposed to a variety of harmful sources of radiation and electromagnetic fields (emf’s) including those from cell phones, computers, TV’s, Wi-Fi, microwave ovens and other appliances and electronic devices. All of the emanations from these sources can impact the balance of an individual's energy body, chakras (energy centers), health, and overall well-being. When exposed to such electromagnetic influences for too long it can cause an imbalance in the energy body of an individual. These imbalances and blockages in the energy body can create different symptoms or illnesses.
Some people who are also more sensitive to energy may feel for example, drained after sitting in front of a computer or feel their hand hot or buzzing while using a cell phone or electronic devices. Shungite can help with this!
Scientific studies have been conducted that measure the energy field of individuals holding shungite and the results have showed that compared to other “grounding” stones, shungite has the greatest effect in neutralizing the effects of electromagnetic radiation. A very insightful book to learn more about shungite and its scientific properties is called “Shungite. Protection, Healing, and Detoxification” by geobiologist and bioenergy expert Regina Martino.
Elite Shungite
Elite (also known as noble or Type I) shungite is composed of about 90 to 98 percent of organic carbon in it. Having the highest percentage of carbon in its structure, it is the most powerful form of shungite. Elite shungite is also much more rare and fragile and is available as individual stones, nuggets, or as pendants. Elite shungite has a more silvery/gray shiny appearance than the other forms of harder and darker shungite that can be shaped into pyramids and spheres etc. You can place a piece of elite shungite in a fabric pouch and carry it in your pocket or wear a pendant during the day. You can also for example, place a piece by your bedside or by your computer or electronic devices, or hold a piece during meditation to revitalize your auric field.
Cleansing, Charging and Care for Shungite Products
It is normal for shungite to have a little black powdery residue remaining on it even after it is cleansed. Rough, and unpolished shungite is more likely to have a little of this residue, while polished forms may or may not have it. If there is any residue you can wipe it with a clean, soft, damp cloth (dry cloth for shungite jewelry). Also from time to time, you can place your shungite in the sun for a few hours. During winter/cold months, you can place shungite indoors by a window to receive the sun's energy. Shungite is a softer, more delicate type of stone which can scratch easily. If you are carrying a pouch of crystals, it is best to keep shungite in its own pouch to avoid it getting scratched by harder crystals/stones. Use safe cleansing methods for softer types of crystals/stones like using sound whenever you cleanse shungite. See the crystal cleansing page for more details.
Special care for shungite jewelry
*Do not wear in the shower, while swimming, nor while doing activities where it may be exposed to water.
*Avoid wearing when sleeping, exercising or doing any strenuous activity to prevent any accidental breakage.
*Bracelets: gently roll onto/off your wrist & avoid pulling/stretching it to put on/take off. This helps to minimize stretching of the elastic and will preserve the cord.
