Earth Chakra... Grounding You and Connecting You To Mother Gaia
Where Is The Earth Chakra? Earth Chakra Meanings
The earth chakra is located approximately 12 to 18 inches below the soles of the feet. Often called the earth star chakra... it is not within the actual physical body but is part of the etheric body. This chakra aligns you with the magnetic core of the earth... and connects you with Mother Gaia.
This chakras meaning is all about the idea of 'grounding', especially in a metaphysical way. This chakra is where you connect to Mother Gaia to resource and reground your body.
Its strong properties keep you grounded and protected, and secures your aura within the physical world.
As you reconnect to her energy, you do two things.You draw from the earth the vibration that enables you to become grounded, and discharge into the earth your excess energy.The earth star chakra meanings relate to the very foundation of your being, within everyday life.
It also relates to energy and is your anchor into physicality... and is very important for everyone, but especially spiritual people. This is particularly the build up of energy in your bodies after intense spiritual experiences. It is important that you regularly make the connection to the earth through your earth star chakra... to ground yourself.
Chakra Colors of Earth Chakra
The chakra color for the earth star chakra is traditionally black and dark brown... but there are other stones that are helpful for or all of the chakras, including this chakra.
Brown or black stones like this Black Obsidian Stone

The energy of stones of these darker colors are very grounding... and they are often powerful psychic protection stones.
Having one or more of the stones for grounding and protection within your aura at all times is essential.

Which Earth Chakra Stones to Use
Many of your day to day activities have the potential to unground you. Using computers for long periods of time, driving around in your vehicle... and having no real contact with the earth, can make you very ungrounded. Spiritual work also may make you ungrounded... so afterwards it is best to make sure that you ground yourself quickly. Spiritual grounding is easy and may help those of you who are doing psychic work.
In the twenty-first century... we live our lives on a day to day basis quite differently to the past. The pace of life means that we often do things that may unground us. One way to help yourself is to carry or wear earth chakra stones within your aura. That way when you become ungrounded you may use them to aid you to ground quickly. So which stones should you use?
It is highly recommended that you use Black Kyanite

For earth star grounding and protection, many of the black gemstones are highly beneficial.
