Granada: the stone of determination |

The best known garnet stone is the one that has a deep reddish tone, like blood, and symbolizes vitality, rejuvenation, creativity, attraction and sexual appetite. Known for awakening passions, especially for life, it is often used when we are apathetic, without impulse.

You know that energy we feel on a first date or at the beginning of a challenging project? Garnet resonates with this energy and puts us on alert, ready for anything, with “butterflies in our stomachs” and our hearts in our mouths.

That’s why it’s very suitable for those who are less active and have little determination.

In the case of people who already have impulsive and explosive behavior, the grenade intensifies these characteristics. It is necessary to be careful, since others do not always know how to deal with this posture. Despite this, its use is not contraindicated: the stone only highlights the facets of the personality that can be worked on.

Grenada Elixir boosts and cheers up if taken in the morning

In a glass container, place mineral water and the garnet, already well washed. An alternative is to reuse bottles, such as wine bottles, but in this case they should be washed thoroughly with hot water and soap. Always opt for transparent glass, which allows the sun’s rays to come into contact with the water and the stone.

Then, cover the container and place it in the sun, for at least one hour, in case of strong sunlight, or for half a day, if the sun is weak or if the day is rainy. The ideal is in the morning, between 8 am and 10 am, or after 3 pm, thus avoiding excessive incidence of ultraviolet rays.

Then, after energizing this water with pomegranate, drink the equivalent of half a glass every morning, first thing in the morning, or a whole glass in the morning. Fasting water is ideal for eliminating toxins and substances that our body does not need. With this habit, water helps with this cleaning and still activates metabolism so that it works throughout the day. If this is not possible, the alternative is to drink twice as much water in the morning.

The grenade and the chakras

Garnet does not exist only in red color. Their colors range from green through orange to deep red. The line of colors and frequencies covered by this stone reaches from the Heart Chakra to the Basic Chakra. We relate garnet, by its very name, with something explosive – in fact, the name comes from the Latin “granatus”, which means grains, seeds.

Personifying the stone itself helps with self-perception

Imagine the stones and crystals as coworkers you turn to when you need help in a certain situation. If, for example, a grenade were a person, what would it look like when it was good and how would it act when it was bad? Describe the “grenade person” in as much detail as possible. Imagine, extrapolate… And record it on paper.

The exercises of personalizing the stones and crystals are a lighter and more conscious way of doing a “Transference”. Thus, we transfer some of our positive and negative characteristics, as well as feelings, to the stones, which broadens our gaze and makes us see ourselves better. We all have “amethyst”, “aquamarine” or “garnet” moments or situations. It’s not about creating characteristics for the crystals, but perceiving something of ourselves in them.
