Feeling anxious, scattered, or clumsy can indicate that you’re in need of some grounding.
You may even feel lost or insecure… those are indicators too.
Grounding is the process of connecting to the Earth and to the present moment. It brings us back to physical reality and allows us to see things more clearly from a place of purpose.
By being grounding and knowing how to direct our energy- we’re better able to manifest the things we desire in life.
We can dream, set goals and repeat affirmations, but if we want to be effective at bringing those things to our physical reality grounding is key.
You know that feeling when you’re stuck in a spiral of scattered thoughts? That energy can overtake our mind and distract us from the present.
Grounding is the art of moving through all those thoughts and disorganized energies in your head, and reconnecting your soul with the earth.
There’s many ways you can ground your energy and working with crystals is one of my favorite ways!
I’ll share my top 10 favorite crystals for grounding so you can get a feel of some stones you might like to work with in your grounding practice.
Let’s dive in.

10 Most Powerful Crystals for Grounding
Smoky Quartz:
A powerful but gentle stone that strengthens our connection to mother earth. It is also a stone of transmutation– turning negative energy into positive energy.
Smoky quartz nourishes from the ground up- from root chakra to crown chakra- connecting your energy with the earth and assisting you in grounding your energy.
I love using smoky quartz when I need gentle support in clearing negativity so that my energy can ground.

Shungite:
Another really powerful root chakra stone that will almost instantly assist in grounding your energy. The first time I held a shungite stone I sensed its strength and power- it is unmistakably a phenomenal crystal for grounding.
Shungite is also a great balancing stone. It’s known to assist in balancing the masculine and feminine energies that we all have.
As mentioned above, it’s really a strong stone that may take some time to attune to. That being said- it is highly protective and can help you ground your desires and anchor them with power into reality.
Bonus: it helps to clear EMF from your space if you’re worried about the negative qualities of being surrounded by electronics!

Also, what is clearing EMF?
Hi Kelly! I’d be happy to email them to you. I will send you an email with these stones and info on each of them. EMF frequencies are Electro Magnetic Fields- basically energy, but too much of it can be harmful to us.
Electronics (especially microwaves and wifi routers) give off a lot of this energy and it can be disruptive to our health. Using Shungite, Black Tourmaline, and Orgonite are great ways to help reduce it and protect ourselves from it.
