“Cinnabar is believed to be a stone of prosperity. It may teach us how to manifest energy into physical form. It is often used in alchemy and magic to affect the transformation of energy. It is believed to increase the Kundalini energy and encourage the flow of Chi throughout the body. Cinnabar may be stimulating to the emotional body, assisting to release buried resentment, anger and fear. It is believed to aid with issues of infertility, sexual dysfunction and the causes of weight issues.”
Cinnabar Affirmations eye dig
“I call forth the Divine blueprint of my highest self, and through me the patterns of Spirit manifest in the physical world.”
“Cinnabar, also called Cinnabarite, gets its name from the Persian word meaning ‘Dragons Blood’. It is found as deep red crystals growing with Stilbite, which has a very supportive energy, or as tiny red spots included in Quartz. It has been named the Merchant Stone, as it is thought to attract wealth. In addition, it is believed to boost the immune system, and has been traditionally used to heal staph, boils or bacterial infections. Care should be taken when handling this stone because it is a form of mercury ore.”
“In Feng Shui, this mineral is used to unlock opportunity and prosperity while putting to rest the negative experiences of the past. Cinnabar’s ideal placement belongs anywhere you want to attract wealth and abundance, like an office or storefront.”
