Carnelian’s Magickal Properties
- Accepting Change: If you tend to hate change or unexpected shifts, carry this crystal to help you make transitions easier.
- Astral Travel: If you have a fear of floating away and never returning to your body, hold this stone or place it under your pillow during astral travel sessions to keep yourself anchored to the physical realm. We do not recommend using this crystal if you are new to astral travel, as it may make it more difficult for you to get started. The good news? You can’t get separated from your physical body! Your fear is just a fear. However, this crystal can help you overcome that fear.
