Stichtite: Meanings, Benefits and Properties
The frequency of Stichtite connects to the heart, third eye, and crown chakras. It brings the energy of compassion and forgiveness to one’s heart center so that one can acknowledge and release deeply held emotional wounds, allowing one to be open and loving to oneself and others.
It stimulates the third eye and crown chakra so that one may consciously feel the love and support of one’s higher dimensional guides and angels.
This combination stone activates the “Kundalini” energies, moving the energy from the base of the spine and up through the chakra column, opening and aligning all the chakras.
Stichtite energetically supports the regeneration of neural pathways and thus can help energetically with issues connected to such pathways.
