Try a Natural Way to Sustain Energy and Drive!
What do you do if you want to increase your energy, mental focus, strength, and stamina? Working with gemstones is a natural method to give your energy a pick-me-up. (And as a bonus, you won’t get caffeine jitters or withdrawals!)
Carnelian is a fabulous stone to work with to boost your energy levels. It is a slightly translucent gemstone, a variety of chalcedony, that alternates from orange to orangey-red to a cherry red. Carnelian has been a beloved stone for centuries. It was considered a symbol of life and especially favored by nobles in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures.
There are further benefits to working with carnelian in addition to boosting energy. This gemstone can bring deeper healing to the lower chakra areas, particularly the root, sacral, and solar plexus. You can emphasize which chakra you really want to energize by the shade of carnelian that you pick. The darker, redder shades of carnelian vibrate best with the root chakra, orange with the sacral, and the lightest tones with the solar plexus.
If you’re feeling lack of willpower or direction, there may be some deep-seated issues in the root chakras dealing with your sense of self-worth and security. Or perhaps you feel the need to revitalize the sacral chakra to renew your sense of creativity and energetic aliveness. It may be necessary to meditate on clearing out any old, limiting beliefs from these chakras and then energizing them with carnelian. The process of clearing out the old and subsequently energizing will empower these chakras with a renewed sense of security and strength.
When working with carnelian, or other red-hued gemstones, be aware that because they have such a stimulating quality, they may have to be cleaned and cleared of old energy more frequently. If you feel overly energized or have a headache, check if you’re wearing red crystals or gemstones. You may need to take them off and give them a quick cleansing.
If you want to give carnelian a try, experiment with these energy-boosting tips!
• Wear carnelian in a low-hanging necklace that is near your solar plexus. The solar plexus is associated with the life force and solar energy. Wearing carnelian close to this area can help you feel motivated and excited about life.
• Try wearing carnelian earrings if you want a mental boost of energy and stamina. This could be a good alternative to coffee! (However, be sure to take them out if you feel a headache.)
• Hold carnelian gemstones while you do energizing breathwork. Pranayama techniques work with the breath and the prana, or life force, which you take in when you breathe. A basic pattern you can get started with is to breathe in through the nose, hold for one second, breathe out through the nose, hold for one second, etc. Go gently and at your own pace.
Carnelian is also said to awaken unknown talents and abilities. So once you’ve boosted your energy, you can direct it in a new creative venture!

Crystals are such wonderful beings to share our consciousness with! They can’t add anything to us but would encourage certain qualities of our own abilities to be used more effectively.
I am very fortunate to share my life with many different crystals, and I’d like to share few tips especially regarding Carnelian and how I learned to use it. From many different books, teachers and crystal enthusiasts.
First, Carnelian is one of a few self-cleansing stones, because of its vibrancy. I do put my carnelians on Sun and on Kyanite sometimes, they like it. Anybody wants to have a break from time to time. It’s important not to overwhelm crystals with wearing them too much. If you are sensitive, or just try to feel them with a quiet mind, they will let you know.
I wear Carnelian as bracelets mostly as my ears are too sensitive to bear earings. It is very energizing, motivating, protective, and especially joyous stone! If I want to have fun and enjoy wherever I am going and whatever I am doing, I make sure I wear one of my carnelian bracelets. One wise woman advised me on that few years ago, and it never failed.
Another helpful advice I was given by crystal professionals is to have Carnelian in a car, and you will NEVER get into the accident. It may sound superstitious but I don’t care, as soon as it works, and it does for 3 years for us so far. We have them in both cars, and I have been giving them away to friends, just small bright stones, they are reasonable, not in jewelry. Doesn’t hurt to stick it in your car and make sure it stays there.
Carnelian is one of my favorite stone, its joyful vibration is so appealing. It doesn’t surprise me that it has connection to ancient Egypt. My preferences for crystals change over time but Carnelian always has been my perfect partner.
I hope more people will learn more about Carnelian and have benefits of using this wonderful stone.
For mental clarity and effective brainstorming I wear a lot of purple and greenish-blue stones like amazonite, Lepidolite and fluorite.
Hi Joyce, I believe certain stones do have more energy if they are left rough. But polished stones still retain a lot of energy and sometimes the shapes they are polished into can be ideal to work with (for instance a polished stone that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, or polished beads you can use for meditation). It’s helpful to visit a gemstone store, and hold a stone and see which energy best resonates with you.
Thanks, Erica
Really enjoy the depth of information. I would LOVE to see more on the stones & crystals. Knowledge is Power!! Thanks & have a great day.
I love gems and have been studying them and would love to see a lot of them on here. I have several but I don’t have a carnelian but will try to find one. I have seen in some articles that a rough stone has more power than a polished stone. Is this correct?
Thank you for having the gemstones articles.
Thanks Gina Rose! I have a carnelian bracelet I wear regularly, and also sometimes carry some other red stones like red jasper or agate.
Hi Erica,
I’m really starting to look forward to your gem articles, as I find them to be so interesting and informative at the same time !!!!
Carnelian is another stone I don’t own ( but I would like to )…. I DO like red stones and own some red jade.
Keep the articles coming please…..
Blessed Be )O(
