For centuries, ruby has been revered as the "stone of kings," celebrated for its fiery energy and profound metaphysical properties. Known as a talisman of vitality, courage, and emotional clarity, ruby’s crimson hues resonate with the life force of the root and heart chakras. This crystal doesn’t just deflect negativity—it transmutes stagnant energy into dynamic motivation, making it an ideal companion for those seeking to cleanse their aura while reigniting their inner spark.
Why Ruby for Energy Cleansing?
Unlike gentler stones, ruby operates like a spiritual reset button. Its high-vibration energy:
- Dissolves self-doubt and fear-based patterns
- Stimulates circulation of chi (life force energy)
- Encourages release of repressed emotions
- Amplifies intentions through focused action
Preparing Your Sacred Space
Begin by creating an environment that honors ruby’s bold vibration. Light a cinnamon- or sandalwood-scented candle to synergize with its fire element energy. Place your ruby stone (or ruby-infused jewelry) on a small red cloth. For enhanced grounding, consider pairing it with black obsidian to anchor ruby’s fiery energy.
The 3-Phase Breath & Ruby Ritual
Phase 1: Grounding Breath (5 Minutes)
Sit comfortably with ruby in your non-dominant hand. Inhale deeply through the nose for 4 counts, visualizing crimson light entering your root chakra. Hold for 2 counts, feeling ruby’s warmth. Exhale through pursed lips for 6 counts, imagining gray smoke (stagnant energy) leaving your body. Repeat until you feel present in your physical form.
Phase 2: Activation Breath (7 Minutes)
Move ruby to your dominant hand. Perform "Breath of Fire" – rapid diaphragmatic breaths through the nose (1-2 breaths per second). Focus the stone’s energy on any area feeling emotionally congested. Ruby will help convert this intensity into purposeful power. Wear a strawberry quartz bracelet afterward to maintain this revitalized energy.
Phase 3: Integration Breath (3 Minutes)
Place ruby on your heart center. Breathe normally while repeating silently: "I release what dims my light. I embrace my sovereign power." Notice any shifts in body temperature or emotional awareness – ruby’s signature cleansing effect.
Amplifying Your Practice
For ongoing energetic maintenance:
- Carry ruby in a tassel bracelet combining gemstones that complement its frequency
- Clean your ruby monthly under running water during a new moon
- Journal experiences of increased confidence or synchronicities post-ritual
