ATTRIBUTES: Vanadinite is an excellent stone for people who have problems accepting their physicality. It has a strong connection with the earth chakra in the earth body beneath the feet. Grounding the soul into the physical body and assisting it being comfortable in the earth environment, Vanadinite guards against squandering energy and teaches you how to conserve energy at the physical level.
Vanadinite is an aid to meditation. Shutting off mind chatter, it can facilitate a state of "no mind" or be used to direct awareness consciously for psychic vision and journeying. It has the power to open an internal channel within the body to receive an inflooding of universal energy. This energy aligns the chakras and brings the higher self into the physical body, facilitating a deep inner peace.
Mentally, Vanadinite fills the gap between thought and intellect. It assists in defining and pursuing goals and shuts off mind chatter, allowing insight and rational thought to combine in an inner voice of guidance.
This stone has the useful property of curbing overspending. Place in the wealth corner of the house or put a small piece in your purse to retain your money.
Vanadinite is poisonous and elixirs should be prepared by the indirect method.
HEALING: Vanadinite is useful for breathing difficulties such as asthma and congested lungs. It facilitates the practice of circular breathing. Vanadinite treats chronic exhaustion and bladder problems. If used as an elixir, only one made by the indirect method can be taken internally.
POSITION: Place as appropriate or rub the elixir externally over the chest area. If using to aid acceptance of physicality, the indirect-method elixir should be taken for several weeks.
