Metaphysical Properties

• Balances the sacral chakra.
• Connects with the heart chakra

Just like the sunlight chasing away shadows, the Sunstone is a cleanser of negative energy and is ever ready to get to work on shifting blocks from your chakras. This is a stone that shares its color cycles with the sacral chakra, the place that houses your unique inner chi. This is where your life force flows and where your sensuality and pleasure in experiencing the world sits. When our sacral chakra is cracked open we are able to communicate with ease, move with inner grace, and laugh with freedom. Sunstone also connects with the heart chakra, the place that teaches us how to give and receive love only and how to form healthy relationships and bonds with those who bring equilibrium and the right kind of energy to our life. It teaches us how to trust. Speaking of trust, Sunstone can also help us to clear our third eye chakra too, the place of our deep wisdom and intuition.
