According to JewelrySupplier.com and SobrietyStones.com, aventurine is connected to the fourth chakra, or the chakra of the heart. According to SacredCenters.com, the heart chakra is a nexus of energy in the body that is located in the chest. The heart chakra is connected to the color green, which gives aventurine its ability to influence the body, mind and spirit. The fourth chakra is connected to feelings of self-love and personal acceptance. Using aventurine while focusing on the fourth chakra allows the stone to increase one's emotional well-being.
Selecting a Stone
-
Aventurine is available as jewelry, tumbled (rough) stones, polished stones and in pendants or medallions. The most effective method for choosing aventurine is to hand-pick the gem and see which one feels right for you, intuitively. This can take some getting used to, but knowing what you want from a stone before selecting it will help lead you to the most effective healer. For example, if your schedule is a busy one, you might select an aventurine pendant or necklace that can be worn throughout the day. Or, if you're more comfortable with absorbing the energies of the stone while in a relaxed, private environment, loose tumbled or polished stones may be a better option.
Using a Stone
-
After cleaning the stone with sea salt and spring water, find a quiet area and plan to remain there for 15 to 20 minutes. Find a comfortable, seated position and hold the aventurine gently in both hands. Ease your breathing and concentrate on the weight and feel of the aventurine in your hands, while also focusing on the center of your chest. Visualize healing energy flowing between your heart chakra and the stone, while still focusing on your breathing. Without judgment, think of the aspects of your life that you wish to heal; think about how things will be once those changes take place. Continue doing this until you feel the aventurine is heavy and filled with your intentions. Take a few more calming breaths, and then carry or wear the stone until you feel its energies should be replenished.
