SHUNGITE • Elite Shungite Crystal Healing Properties/Meaning

Shungite is the only known natural source of fullerenes on Earth. Fullerenes are molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. It is likely that Shungite was born in outer space and landed on our planet (probably in the form of a meteor) billions of years ago. This gives Shungite unique healing properties unlike any other mineral. 

Shungite with its natural inclusion of fullerenes acts on a systemic level. They act as an adaptogen, operating both at the cellular level and at the level of the whole human body. Adaptogens are herbal pharmaceuticals. They work to counteract the effects of stress in the body. Stress causes very real physical changes in the body, including harming the neurological, endocrine, and immune systems. 

Adaptogens have stimulant properties that help counteract those harmful effects. Place a Shungite piece near all electronic devices—such as your television, computer, microwaves, radio receivers, Wi-Fi hot spots, etc. to neutralize any EMFs. One of the most beneficial uses of the Shungite metaphysical properties is to protect against electrical magnetic fields, also known as EMFs. We are constantly surrounded by technology—cell phones, computers, televisions, Wi-Fi and the list goes on and on. Each of these radiate man-made, EMFs. Many people experience EMF sensitivity, and EMFs have been linked to constriction of blood flow to major organs, poor digestion, and immune systems, increased blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar, arthritis, anxiety, and depression. Apple even has a disclaimer encouraging you to not hold your phone directly to your head. Fortunately, there is protection from EMFs in the form of Shungite. 

The healing properties of Shungite are particularly powerful because it's an antioxidant with exceptional anti-inflammatory capabilities.  It works as an antihistamine and can also help relieve some types of pain. Shungite is beneficial for the relief of stress and fatigue.  It boosts physical wellbeing and has a powerful effect on the immune system.  Stress is transformed into high levels of energy and mental clutter and confusion is melted away.
According to the late Judy Hall author of The Crystal Bible, shungite is great at absorbing negative energy.  She therefore recommends it be regularly cleansed and recharged.  This can be done by placing the stone in the sun or the light of the moon. Healers who have worked with shungite say it clears stagnant energy and can help with the release of repetitive patterns of behaviour.  It can also help you to let go of beliefs that no longer serve you.
Shungite dissolves energy blockages and can be used in conjunction with meditation to cleanse the aura.  The aura which has been described as an energy field is the non physical form of our body.  It's said to be a representation of your true self on a physical, mental and emotional level. Cleansing the aura to release blockages can help energy flow to the core of your physical body more freely.
Shungite is deeply grounding, and can be used to release feelings of self-doubt, guilt or shame.  These thoughts patterns hold you back from reaching your full potential.  It teaches you to become more in control of your feelings and to build strong relationships with those around you. The properties of shungite bring clear vision and promote a positive attitude.  Working with this stone will ensure your glass is always half full instead of being half empty.  A positive attitude brings freedom, happiness and a notable improvement in the quality of life.

Found in Russia, this is so effective at protecting from EMFs, it is used to paint military air and spacecraft. Famed for its protection from the harmful rays of 5G, it is also one of the most powerful stones for grounding.
